The First.

To PENNSYLVANIA belongs the diStinc-
ton OF being the first State which has
provided by law for the conformity N
organization and discipline OF its Ma,
tional Guard to the organization and
discipline OF the regular army as re-
CURED by the new Federal militia law.
There was not much occasion for
change, the three-battalion and twelve
company formation having already
been adopted by Our infantry regl-
ments. No batteries OF artillery are in
cluded in the new organization, it be-
ing the opinion OF the best informed
military authorities that the artillery
branch OF the service requires such an
amount OF technical knowledge and eX-
pertness as only professional soldiers
have time and opportunity to acquire.
On the other hand, there is to be a
whole regiment OF State cavalry, which
will neceSstate the increase in number
of this arm to twelve troops. The
method Of reorganization, as well as the
cclerity with which the Federal law was
compiled with, reflect credit on mill
,ary authorities OF the State.
