The GUARD FOR HONE DEFENcE.-By reference to
the Legislative proceedings, it will be seen that
already have two bills been presented-one by Mr..
Mckay, and the other by Mr.. Sherwood-to amend
the act of last session regard to the Militia and
Guard for Home Defence. From the fact that the
meaning of this act its intentions and purposes
having been misunderstood and wrongly INTERPRET.
ted much useless annoyance to the people has been
the consequence, rendering some legislation on the
matter imperativey Necessary.
Mr.. Sherwoods bill to amend and erpLain the
the Home Guard act as originally enacted is The
legislation deemed necessary and will give satisfac
ton to ALL Once in three months is quite often
enough for "drills" and it is certainly very proper
that the people should not be called off from their
pursuits-most generally agricultural occupations
to be detained for several days consecutivey in the
arrest of deSerters. When such service is required
OF the citizens, let it be performed by those resi-
ding in the Captains district where the service is
demanded This will obviate the necessity (or
pretexD of marching men from one extreme of a
county to the other, and often been the case out
OF their own county. From the features of this bill
as reported, it cannot but recommend itself to the
people generally. We hope it will pass.-Greens
