CAPTAIN II. S. FOSTER, Twentieth United
States Infantry, in his report to the war de-
partment on the National Guard of YER
mont, states that the time of the troops in
encampment was well employed, the object
well fulfilled and the interest evinced by
both officers and men in their duties showed
that they had strong desire to learn and
improve. The officers as class had good
capacity and aptitude and were capable of
leading and Installing proper enthusiasm
and discipline among their men, Gener-
ally speaking, he found the National Guard
of Vermont composed of intelligent, Jealous
and practical men, and, in any emergency
that might arise, they would fully sustain
the good reputation they had in the late
war. The discipline of the troops during
the encampment was good, the men were
quiet and orderly, and the observation of
military courtesies fair. Captain Foster
recommended the establishment of per-
manent camp-ground, with good target
range, at some available point land thinks
that the efficiency of the guard would be
greatly enhanced by such selection.
