MILITARY MATTERS;
 GUARD OF ALABAMA
BY D. W. McIvER.

Since the passage of the Dick bill the National Guard in the various States has improved in a wonderful degree and Is today almost as we'll and as thoroughly equipped as the regular army. In case of war and the Fresi- dent had occasion to call out troops, it is predicted that 1t would not take but very little while to mobilize and get ready for service an army from among the volunteer forces that would equal any regular army on the face of the globe.
 The National Guard is now virtually only an attachment of the standing army and could be made just as ef- fective and as capable of doing just al good service as any of the regulars in a very short time. It is remembered how the Confederate soldier adapted himself to circumstances and how he made as good fighter as any soldier who ever shouldered musket. The United States Government recognizes the effectiveness of the militia and in the future will take care of that branch of the service better than ever before.
