The season Of 1854 thus far proved a
comparatively Improbable one for the
watering place hotels. and also for the
first class hotels in many cities, owing
in part to the unusually cold weather
of July, but also in part to an appar-
emit disposition in the public to be less
lavish of expenditure than formerly.
There is growing demand for simpler
and more homelike hotels, says an East

Concerning Citizen lGiers. So

During the late encampmentof the Minnesota
militia, Col Gaines Lawson, Twenty fth infan-
try and stationed at Fort Smelling, was detailed
to inspect the two regiments in camp. Thurs
day he sent in his report to Gov. Hubbard, and
speaks highly therein of the encampments, but
gives little advice to officers and men. The re-
port SAYS, III substance, that at Winona, where
the Second regiment encamped, the attendance
was good with companies from abroad, while
those located nearer the camp were not repre-
seated as well as they should have been. The
same criticism on attendance is made of the
First regiment camp at Lake Calhoun The
First is particularly complimented on its bat
TALON drills and excellent rifle practice. The
report suggests that inspections Of arms should
be more frequently made by company comman-
ders and that the old calibre, IS, should be re-
placed by the new safety notch, a. The re-
port recommend physical examination of appli
cants for enlisting as citizen soldiers. Other
states have blanks for muster, pay rolls, SER
geants, morning reports, guard reports, and
particularly blank for all commanders to fill,
giving q semi annual account of all state pro-
priety in their charge. Col Lawson recon-
mends the adoption of such blanks. It was
further recommended that each regiment be al
lowed al instructor of 1nusketry who shall
be all inspector of rifle practice.

During the month OF July the nation
al debt was reduced nearly 81 900, 900,
which decrease, in view Of the heavy
disbursements made for pensions and
interest, is quite as large as was expect
ed generally. A few persons expected
the ektinguishment would reach 49,
0,00o, the sum fixed upon in the esti-
mates, but the warrants for pensions
aggregated $40, 900, 600 and SO absorbed
some of the surplus intended for debt
reduction.
