JOHN H. MEAD.
Acting R. S.

Tag AUJUrANT GENERAL 3 oFFIcE,-We
clip from the Boston Daily Advertiser
the following very complimentary state
ment with regard to the mannerin
which our military affairs have been
conducted.
Yesterday afternoon spent leisure
hour probably in examining the record
Of the services Of the sons Of Vermont
in the recent war, as clearly exhibited IN
the office of Adiutant- General Washburn.
By 8 system adopted by him at an early
stage of the contest and modified by
improvements which experience sugges-
ted, the State now possesses complete
COPIES of the muster rolls, descriptive
| lists, returns, letters and hospital lists
Of the troops sent from their mountain
homes to aid in resCuing eree govern
ment from destruction and these doc
umeuts are so systematically arranged
, and indexed, that the records OF orig
ipal members, recruits, transfers, pro-
motions, and other matters pertaining
| to tns regimental, company or IndtVlo'
nal historr If the quota OF the Union
army form this State can be trace sl
readily and intelligenmsg. An aecu naot
account has also been kept W III o 1Hn,
town in the State, showing the nun. -9e.
OF recruits each has furnished, and how
much each has exceeded or fallen short
of it's quota so that when the books are
posted, Vermont will know precisely
how to begin the next war.
The same accuracy and minute detail
are observed in keeping the records
connected with the State militia system
precise and regular returns being re
quired of the officers holding commands
and patient industry consolidating
them in the Adjutaut-Ganeral's office
MY attention was drawn to neat an(
convenient map drawn by Mr.. Anthem,
Jones of st. Adams, giving the bounda
ries of every brigade, regimental AM
and company district Of the State, an
exhibiuing enough of Canada to shov
the territory on which the st. Alban
raiders organized their forces. Tn
Vermont militia system has been adoI
f ted by Kentucky and Kansas, and fire
| quently ELECTS inquiry from othe
States while 1t commends itself to th
t Judgment of those who desire nations
militia law, as the best model for ths
| purpose.

Washburn moved that the vote by

made and the motion lies over.
A resolution was adopted, 81 against

The MONROE DocTRTNE.-The New
York Sun has sensible view Of the
Monroe doctrine, as applied to our pres
ent situation. 1t SAYS
The government OF the United
States shall clearly manifest its disap-
probation of every monarchial enCroach-
ment in the New World, and 1t shall as
sist the weaker Republics just so far as
it can do so without jeopardizing its
own safety or national interests. Just
now the nation is poor and still bleed
ing from the wounds of the late war.
It's first duty is to itself, aud self,inter-
est demands that it shall be allowed a
little time at least, to reCuperate and re-
gain some of its exhausted strength,
To engage in foreign war at this time
would evidently be suicidal-a thing
that such statesman as Monroe would
be first to oppose. We are in favor o.
doing anything that the Government
can afford to do in behalf of Mexico
Chill, or any other suffering Republic
but at this time foreign war would b.
a luxury that the nation, with Its mil
lion Of soldier graves and three billions
OF debt, cannot well afford"
