mGnths are nearly three times those of the
corresponding six months Of the year previous.

charged him with saying, he said; and when
your correspondent makes statement, he
aims to be sure Of his facts,
learn that there is already considerable
inquiry about the organization of companies
for the three militia regiments provided for
by the last Legislature, and in some cases the
preliminary steps hare been taken. It appears
probable, now, that the regiments viii be
filled By volunteers within the next sixty
days. An erroneous Impression has got abroad
that companies organized under this law viii
be called into camp, and kept there like our
volunteer regiments, and will be liable to be
sent out Of the State. This Is an cutirc mis-
take. The whole object is to hive body Of
men, armed md uniformed, and somewhat
drilled, that can be called on at a moments
notice for any emergency within the State, in
case of any riot, resistance to the Laws, or
other trouble of that nature. There should
bc no trouble in securing the organization Of
a sufficient number of men Tor that purpose.
