 THE NATIONAL GCARD.
 T,. people of this state have no taste fol any tnirE ttlal-6 bears the semblance of regu Lar army within iiie state. The federal gov eTnsueat maintains small one which is un dnabsatly necessary for the protection of its frontier and for such other purposes as emer Ee1cies may require. Upon this force the she state of Connecticut has never been n@lsaiged 10 call: and for the present, at least, we may feel certain that the safety of our state its hon0- and dignity, will find protection in the efficiency of our own militia.
 The National Guard of the state is in an efficient condition. The plan upon which it is organized is the result sf long experience, and has puOyed more nearly perfect than any yet yef d-vis1d- The men are well disciplined, well drilled and well equipped, and in these respects are surpassed by the militia of no stheT state The last annual encampment was al Mantle IL was participated in by the FIrS and Third regiments, and furnished ample evidence of generally satisfactory con- dItIu1 Of these corps
