THE mAHNE MILITIA.
Abstract From the United States Inspect
Orsa Ranarf.


Lieut.. Totten's report of the annual muster
has been received in Portland. 1t does not go
into details like the one OF last year, but treats
OF the two regiments and the enoampment as a
whole. The mess arrangements the Inspect
or says, were greatly improved this last year
and the commissary department ably super
vised. A marked improvement In guard duty
was noticeable over that Of the year previous.
The exercises at the parade of the consolidated
oattalions wers very impressive, while the
drilling OF the battery was fair though the
mounted battery-drill was not quite up to the
standard of the year before.
Concerning the review of the troops by the
Governor, he says: 1.-THE passage of the column
before the reviewing stand was, beyond doubt,
most highly creditable maneuver; the men
marched we'll, and the conduct of the entire
command was such as to reflect the highest
credit upon the State"
Lieut.. Tottsn did not see the inspection OF
the second regiment, but saw that of the first,
whereupon ne says: 81 was particularly inn
pressed with the general improvement in the
appearance Of this command since last year,
aud, as then, take pleasure 10 noting the par
ticular excellence of Captain Norton's compa-
ny, (P. l.. H. This officer have noticed has
for two years maintained q high condition Of
excellence in his company. and this year it pre-
sented, at inspection, an appearance which de-
serves special mention. The condition of the
entire command was good, and am convinced
OF the fact that the good influence OF its pres
ent colonel will be felt, as he lisa jealous and
capital tactician, and will seize those opportu.
ties during the year for drill purposes which
nave heretofore been allowed to Iescaps The
policing of the camp was excellent, and the
mess arrangements and company kitchens, in q
very credit.ble condition, as were also the reg.
mental sinks; these latter, however, although
In good state of police, were not originally
dug deep enough, which error recommend be
remedied next year.
The Inspector calls attention to the facl
shat Maine has not as yet taken advantage OF
she recent legislation which allows maritime
States to draw sea-ooast cannon from the gen.
eral government for the establishment Of
heavy batteries" He suggests a series of bat
TALON drills during the fall and spring by the
city companies. He also suggests that, in ad
dition to the reports of the professional obser
vations OF officers of the regular army, detailes
as inspectors, that sin those States where tbs
capacity OF the camp will admit, let g baital
lion OF regular troops be encamped with the
militia during their annual mustsrs, the entire
expense OF their going to and from, and during
their solourn in camp, to be, Of course, sus
tanned by the general government" Their
follows very good argument for the abov.
and In closing he speaks of the devotion ano
ability OF the Adjutsnt General, Inspector
General and Brigade Commander of Maine.
