Citizen Soldier from Norwich, Vermont • 7

CITIZEN SOLDIER. 331 port of the Secretary of War, on account of the difficulty of getting returns from the brigades in season, and which was occasioned by the derangement of the new organization. The framer of the resolution was, perhaps, not aware, that returns from the state are not required to be made to the Secretary of War till January, and that he is to make a report of the same in February following. This accounts for no mention being made of them in the Secretary's last report. Returns, we are informed by the Adj.

General, have this year been received from every colonel, and a return of the same was long since made to the President, and acknowledged by the Adjutant General of the Army. This correction is made in justice to the present Adjutant General, who has, we believe, ever performed his duties with fidelity and promptness. DEP Inquiry is often made of us in what manner payment shall be made for the Citizen Soldier. We would reply that post-masters are authorized by the Post-master General to transmit money postage free, to the publishers of newspapers. All that is necessary, is to hand the proper remittance, in specie, or if this cannot be obtained, in current bank bills, to the post-master, and request him to forward it according to directions.

We presume that no post-master, as it is legal, would refuse a compliance with such a request. "A postmaster may enclose money in a letter to the publishers of a paper, to pay the subscription of a third person, and frank the letter, if written by General. One of our exchanges contains the following card. What an admirable state of things does it represent, and how great the contrast to what is generally witnessed? A -The undersigned takes this opportunity to state that in the Battalion and Regimental parades he has witnessed during this year, there appears so much improvement in both officers and privates since last year, that if at that time there was any thing gratifying, it has been this year truly pleasing. All have been eager to do their duty, and it was animating to see commandants, subalterns and soldiers vieing with each other in the performance of their duty, and all priding themselves on being the bulwark of our country's liberties.

Without specifying particular instances, it may be stated that there are companies in each regiment and battalion to which a citizen soldier might feel proud to belong. The efforts made by many of our citizens in raising and disciplining new corps, are truly patriotic and praiseworthy. Others have volunteered their assistance to bring the militia to the point where every American desires to see itviz. efliciency. AUSTIN WILDER, Brig.

The scarlet fever prevails to an alarming extent at Chippewa. Many of the Militia have been carried off by it. On Sunday night, as a train of the Great Western railway was running between Bull's Bridge and Hanwell, it passed over thirty-tire sheep, the whole of which were destroyed. The train was not materially interrupted. The United States contain 2,300,000 miles, onesquare half of this is settled.

If the United States numbered as many inhabitants to the square mile as France, our population would be 363,000,000. Notice. An adjourned meeting of the Social Debating Club" of Norwich University, will be held at the Vestry in this village, on the 17th inst, at 6 o'clock, P. M. The following question will be discussed, viz: Do there exist sufficient causes, and if so, would it be good policy for this govermment to declare war against the government of Great Britain?" The discussion will be opened by Cadet Flint, in the affirmative-Cadet Wright, negative.

It is expected that the discussion will be continued by other gentlemen present. Ladies and gentlemen are respectfully invited to attend. Cadet T. W. WHITE, Pres.
