TIE NATIONAL GUARD.

Annual Report Of tue Adjutnnt General--The
Present strength Of the Guard-Breecii-
L0nders-Have We n National (sMardS
The annual report OF the Adjutant General Of the
State Is just published. 1t Is document deserving
perusal, not so much for its facts as for what 1t
suggests.
The report states that II will take s20ovOo annual
appropriation TO keep the State militia In proper
conditlon. No doubt 1t would but it would require
a hundred millions to make an effective and availa.
BILE army out OF the dsorganized mass OF incapables
In gorgeous uniforms for whose amusement the
State Is taxed.
STRENGTH OF THE NATIONAL GUARD.
II appears that the following changes have been
made during the past year,
One brigade ana one regiment of cavalry, five re-
giments OF infantry and one battalion OF artillery
have been disbanded; seven regiments Of infantry
Of infantry and one eo batcrv ~ aerv n Savs been
organized. And now the National Guard consists
OF eight divisions, twenty-iour brgades, two regl-
ments, one battalion and seven separate troops OF
cavalry, two oattailons and eleven separate bate.
rles Of artillery, tnlrty-nine re2ments and seven
battal0ns OF infantry, ana the grand aggregate or
the force Is A2s5; officers, n0n-commissioned OH.
GERS, musicians aud privates.
Referring TO
THE QUESTION or BREsCH-LoADERs,
the Adlutaut General says:--
Now that Tho superiority Of breecll.loaders has
been so fully demonstrated In actual warfare, 1t
sees to Inc that there should he no further delay In
exchanging the muzzle.loadng iihed muskets, with
which the infantry Of the National Guard Is armed
for the most approved arm of the kind loading at
the brcecn. Referring to what IL contained III my
last annual report relating TO this matter, would
now remark that, although l still hope that there
may be recovered from the United states, on ac-
count OF the war claims, snlicient sum- In excess
Of the special lax due from this STATE to pay the ex-
pense OF the proposed exchange Of arms, there IS
80 much unavoidable delay In getting those accounts
settled that would recommend that an approprla-
