Our FuTURE MILITIA SYsTEM.-On our first
page we print entire the article under this cap
!ion in the Atlantic Monthly, to which We al
luded last week The essay is well written,
interesting and instructive paper on the topic Of
which it treats, and will repay q careful Tcrusal.
A system Of military instruction and discipline
founded upon the facts and hints therein set
forth, seems to US eminently practical and prac-
tcable, and as just what is needed in this and
every other State Of the Union. This system
will not, OF course, furnish the nation o. once
with effective militia ready for service, but it
Nill the material for it, ready drilled and requr-
ngonly to be properly combined in an organized
military force as fast as the boys arrive At an
age when their muscular development. and dis
erection render them capable Of enduring the
temptations Of a" muster day, or perchanco the
priyations and Atgues OF actual service. Thesl
boys, thus taught, will be the best possible ma
tsral for perfect and efficient militia. They
will enter the ranks with neither tho awkward
ness and bashiulness Of raw recruits, nor the en-
nui and semi.c)ntempt OF veteran soldiers. Our
present illy.digested militia system-so illy-di-
gested indeed tina; all the General Orders, land
their name is legion which have flowed from the
teeming isncles and fertile pen Of its great doc
tor, have only tended to make the whole system
more dyspeptic than eyer-was passed on the
spur Of excitement consequent on the St. Adams
rad, and would never have been driven through
the House but for that ALARM We never feel
inclined to csyl at any law legitimately enact
ed, or to rail at 4" the Powers that DO in any
deoently fair and common sense administration
and execution Of its provision but when an act
is designed and executed in the interest of the
few, we cannot refrain from calling public at
tention to it, II we are to have militia law,
lot us have one as nearly perfect as may be-
one that shall embrace advantages somewhat
commensurate with It's expense and its burdens I;
and then let that law have the benefit Of prac-
teal, common-sense minds IN ITS administration.
The manner in which companies and regiments
have been constituted, and the allowance Of only
a dollar Ier day to the oonscripted victims tor
travel, board and labor, are glaring wrongs
which the next Legislature will give prompt at
tention to. The State can afford and will De
willing to be at least just to all her sons whose
services or time she demands There are several
points about cur present militia system,-which
is said to be so very similar to the ono all the
Adjutant Generals propose next March to rec.
ommend to Congress for adoption-ihat will
hardly bear the scrutiny Of equal justice and
practical oommon-sense, and the legislature
should and will make quick work with them.

would attract lively admiration ; and that SINH

towns in the kingjom."
Now, fit be looked upon as a meritorious
action and an honour in the time Of war, to
assist at the peril Of ones life in the destruc-
ton Of life and property, because it is consider
ed desirable to do SO, it must at least be con-
sidered equally as honorable to risk ones life
and limbs in the preservation Of life and pro-
perty i'll the time Of peace. Let this once be
granted, and we invest the position OF a Voiun-
teer fireman with that honour and merit which
is its just aud proper due, and, moreover, place
it 10 such a manner before the public as can
not fail to insure its lasting and perfect success.
In Switzerland volunteer fire brigades exist,
not only in cities and small towns, but also to
a great extent in villages. The most respecta-
BE citizens vie with each other in eagerneSs
and zeal to become members OF such useful
associations, which, however, consist Of a fixed
number of men. IN some places the members
are divided, a portion Of them d~evoting them
selves exclusively to the management Of the
fire engines whilst others attend t9 the not
less important task Of taking immediate pos
session Of the house on fir, saving what pro-
porty they can and protecting the remainder.
The order and method with which these yOlUn-
teer fire brigades are conducted are deserving
Of the highest commentator, and their praise
worthy efforts are thoroughly appreciated ~
all who understand the motives Of a volunteer
fireman. In order that no delay may lie e1-
p]crienced in taking out the engine to a fire, as
sometimes happens from the temporary abse1ce
Of the man ia charge, two or thee keys are
distributed to an equal number Of persons living
near the engine-house, 50 that there may al
ways be at least one key at hand when the
engines are wanted.
'In several of the cities of Germany the whole
of the householders of the district are members Of
a society for extinguishing fire, as well orga-
Missed, a. thoroughly drilled, and subj ct to as
severe regulations as our militia or volunteers.
The sound Of the fire alarm bell calls each man

ever, does the fire extend beyond the place in
which it originates, and very frequently 1t is

house in which it breaks out. Il is a system
