AUGUSTA, Oct. 4*
WE did not correctly under
stand the circumstances attending
the adjornment of the MiUitary
Committee , which convened at
\\ asnington during the last
; month. We are now enabled to
! state from authority, that they
(will convene at Milledgeville, a
igreeable to adjournment, on the
| istMonday in November next,
’ the time of the sitting of the Le
gislature; which will enable that
| body, (should not a quorum of
!the committee attend) to make;
i,■ ■ i *
such arrangements as wui pre
j vent further unnecessary delay
j n the alteration and modification
s os our Military Code.
A uniform and consistent sys
teniof Military discipline is much
• wanted not only ir our oy/u state,
|bat throughout the Union. Ihe
advantages resulting from an in
variable standard of Tactics, are
too obvious to need iliustru orn
When we see the loose aud un
disciplined manner ia which, not
oniy our company, but battalion
and regimental parades are gen
erally conducted, we cannot as
j soci it; any other idea or Leiing
J with t ic performance, than cue a
! as would naturally arise, on wit
nessing a military farce prepared
I for the amusement of the public,
j This exercise of the ludicrous
; would do well enough for the
hour of relazauon, if we could ai |
ways enjoy the assurance oi aj
perpetual peace. But, as it would i
be idle and fallacious to take such *
t
an assurance on trust, when we j
begin to reflect, that an efficient)
militia is the saiegard of a Its-1
pub.ic. (
In the same brigade, nay, in
the same regiment, it is difficult
to select two companies that per
form their evolutions alike. This
diversity of operation has produ j
ced, and will continue to produce, !
on any serious emergency, des-!
tructive and irreparable evils. In j
the present disorganized state cf ;
our militia, the removal of a com-1
manding officer, by death or oth- i
erwise, would leave to his succes !
sor if not appointed from the same j
corps the control and direction of !
a body without a head* A military j
phenomenon is presented to his ;
view—he sees the head cfoid
‘Baron Stuben placed on the
shoulders of Col. Duane, suppor-;
ted by a crude and undigested bo
dy, composed of different sys-:
terns. The emergency not allow- j
ing time to mould these confused
parts to a proper consistency, pa
nic, rout and destruction ensue.
We have now time and expe
perience sufficient to enable us to
prepare a code of military Laws,
uniform and consistent in their
: tendency—and we hope, that no
i false security in the remoteness
|of the period, that may again
1 corn pel us to an “an appeal to
| arms,” in defence of our rights,
j will produce an indifference to the
completion of a System, so inti
