‘HE MILITIA OF NEW YORK. t of the Tampaeceeseneeet of New nes ork. State or New Yorx. INSPECTOR GENERAL'S DEPARTMENT, cnt, Comman- ee 16, 1851. hie Exoetlen: ASKING TON Ma Chel of the New York York State Militia. ‘Srm— in compliance with the this Depart ‘ment, the besa ae reports ae follows :—-By the * Act to provide for the Enrolment of the Militia,” Bo, pesced Hay 13, 1847, the State was to be Gvided into cight military divisions, the first ef which is composed of the counties of New York and Rochmond @ remaining seven divisions were each to be divided into four brigades, and each bri- was to be divided into two regiments, making Bix vegiments in the State, exclusive of the e@ounties ot New York and Richmond. ‘The organ'i- mation of the first division was provided for by 4 spe- cial act passed in 1847, aud is now composed of 13 iments. Inorderto \ be for the organization ibe milita y force of the remainder of the State, the law of 1547 authorized the Commander in-Chiof to assign officers to the command of the respoctive Brigades, regiments, and company districts, acoord- Wg to the seniority of their commissions. The eers BO assigued were to centinue in command enti! the organization of their respective corps was fully completed, when an election of officers was to Be beld Under this law but few organisations were efiected ieee The law passed April 16, 180], authorised the Commander in-Chief ‘to appoint snd commission We brigade, regimental and company officers ne- eersary to cemplete the organization of all military districts” not then organized. The thirty-seventh feetion of the eame act anthorized the appointment ef an Inspecior General, whose duty it shoald be to “attend to the orga: ion of the militia of thie Stato;” and empowered the Commender-ia Whief to ‘prescribe by rules sod rogulssions the duties to be performed by said officer. By virtue of the instructions contained in ‘General Order, No. 368,” it was made the duty of the In- speeter General, among other things, ‘*to procood as early a8 practicable to vi the several in ets of the S:ate which ot been fally and adopt euch measures of co-ope: With the militia officers and oth as would promote the immediate organization of compa Daitalions, regiments, and brigades according to Jew;” also to ‘visit the organised districts, inform. himself of the actual! cocdition of the several corps for ae was practicable, and render al! proper aid improving their organization, discipline and oy;” also, “to inspect (as frequently as other official engagements would permit) every branch eonnected with tho military service, including armo- ies, arsenals and military property of all kids; and to make reports of all his proceedings to the Gommander-in-Chiet.” At this time many of the regimental dietricts of the State were without any organisation, while ethers were so imperfectly organized as to be of little service to the State. The organization of the military of s State is, under the moet favorable eircumetancer, attended with many difficulties. In our own State, these difficulties were much increased by the disrepute into which our whole military sys- tem had fallen, in consequence of the inefficiency ef old organizations. Much time and labor are re- quired to remove the obstacles to be overcome in introducing a new and efiicient military organiza- tion in each of the unorganized districts of the State. In those districts where the military organ- izations were incomplete, it became the duty of the feepector General to ascertain and recommend to the Commander-in-Chiof tuitable persons to be appointed and commissioned as officers in the bri- gade, regimental and company districts. In the lischarge of this difficult and delicate duty, the un- dersigned bas been governed solely by a desire to feoure the services of such men as would make the military organization of the State honorable and reputable, and hasten its completion. The har- mony ard efficiency of our military syetem require that all extraneous considerations should be kept ou: of view, in the selection of officers to carry that system into successful operation. Since the passage of the act of April 16, 1851, the following persons have been selected and ap- ier as Brigadier Generals, to wit :— Heh Brigade, Albert T. Dunham, Albany co jt] S ‘be Thomas S. Gray, Warren ¥th ‘Albert Rice, Jefferson so sth ‘* Jacob Morris, Broome aS 19th os Zadeck T. Bentley, Madigon “ 22d “ D. W. ©. Littlejohn, Oswego ‘* Be as Aurelian Conkli > Cay be 2th bie Wm. ©.

The brief time that bas clapsed, since the pre- sent plan for the ro-organizi n of the militia of the State was ente: pon, has notafforded an op- portunity for all of the regimer di tricte of the State.

Daring the encampment every duty connected with such a | parade, was discharged by officers and soldiors in | @ manner which reflected the highest credit upon all concerned. Rev. Mr. Fillmore, the chaplain of the regiment, was present, and religious services were performed each day at the morning and evening parade. During the Sabbath, religious exercises were had upon the camp ground, which was attended bythe whole regiment, anda large number of the citizens from the surrounding | country. Allthe State property in the possession of this reriment was inspected and found to be in excellent condition. Such encampmente as those alluded to, and othors to which it is unnecessary to make particu- | lar reference, are already being beld, manifesting, as they do, the true military epirit, united wi efficiency in discipline ; every friend of the existing | military syetem, will have ocossion to feel a just ride in our State militia, when that system shall rae been carried into full effect throughout the | State. All prejudieo existing against any attempt to maintain the militia of the State, in consequence of the failure of old organizations, will soon be re- moved, and a military force, ample in nambers | and efficient in discipline, worthy of the high posi- | tion of the State, will take the place of the in- efficient and dilapidated military organization, | which has so long been a reproach and @ burthen | to our peopie. ie As great an improvement upon all previous mili- tary organisations as our present system is con- ceded to be, yet, iu order to render it porfeot and barmonious in all its parta, slight modifications ond amendments will, undoubtedly, from time to | time ber ired.

So long as there are individual and ne- tional rights to bo guarded and preserved, and individuals and nations exist who are willing to violate those rights, it is the imperative duty of | every State and nation to sustain & military foreo | adequate to tho protection of the rights of the | government sud its citizens. The primary object of eustaining a well disciplined militia, is to protect the property of the State and its citizens. It is uestioned by many whether the military fund should not be supplied by a tax upon property, rather than by a per capita tax, as under the exist- ing law. But the payment of fifty cents per annum, by each citizen subject to military duty, instead of the three days of profitles: service on duty, with | the expenso oF eau Re) is @ groat relief to the | eres while it will provide the State with a more ficient and better disciplined military force than could be hoped for under our old system of mili- tary organization.

Bat is this Lola Montes s real existence—s hu- men being—a ee besutifal, woman? We have heard of her by evo: steamer for some years and she has been no estimation of Euro- unimportant e pean \vernaiina. "Everything relating to her, or even to the companion of her walks, her big brown dog, has been thought worthy a noticein some Eng- ire or French edd nao She mast, therefore, have an existence. She cannot be altogether an imaginary creation. But is net much that is said of her purely imaginative—her fortunes, her perse- cutions, her triumphs, and her intrigues? Lola has travelled away across the ocean to visit our shores, and in the same ship that bore a Kossuth to us—two personages who had seen strange vicissitudes in life, and yet who experi- enced but little amp for each other when thus brought together. But this is not surprising, when wo reflect that they were here to be competitors for popular favor. We did not, however, think of them in this light. The statesman and the dansexuse, we should have thought, could havo no jealousies. But to this we erred. The danseuse was a politician also, and, according to her own narrative, had enacted no unimportant part in the diplomacy of Europe. Her enemies bavo said she was the mis— tress of a king, while she maintains that she was his prime minister. This part of her recital is interest- ing. She says :-— “In my professional career aa @ donsecse having been, in Russia, and being on my way to Vieana, 1 stopped at Munich. Boon after, I received from an aid of the good | old King Louis, an invitstion to « royal audience on the next dey After hesitating some time, [ yielded to the solicitation of my friends, accepted the invitation, aad hed an interview with the king st noonday. The king treeted mewith kindness. In a familiar conversation with him about French politice, | gave my opiniwns pret- ty ireely; and especially in relation to #ome French edi- tors whem I was acquainted with. Having always been, as Tam yet im the habit ef maging fuli notes of public was enabled Co be acou- rate. The king manifested great surprice at some of the information I gave him, and remed #9 deeply tnterest- ed as to ask me to stay in Munich as his guvet for a few days, I at first declined, and finally observed: ‘Will it not give cause for scandal against yaur mojesty?’ The king replied, ‘No; I have nofearot that’ I consented to rtay a few days, and renewed my conversations with the ing several times on visite to him at his instance. The: ites were unceremonious. I talked tothe kin; an I always do to every one—truthfully, frankly, an: without concealment. I told him of errors and abuses in his goverement—I told him of the perfidy of his mi: nisters. Honest and unsuspecting, he did not believe it; but I proved it to him, He expressed his gratitude to me. His queen was my friend. I exposed to him erpecially the art, duplicity. and villany of his Prime Mi- nister. Baron D’Abel, a Jesuit, who had wormed himeelf into bis eontidence. What had 1 to gain by all this but the establishment of right, and the protection of an ho- nest man from rogues?” This is surely the most remarkable danseuse who has ever visited our boards!—one who can hold familiar conversations with a xe about French politics, who habitually makes full notes cf public events, and who, soon after taking up her abode in a kingdom, can tell the king of ‘ errors and abuses in his government!” But what had thereal ministersto say to all this ? Weshall sec. “Tentertained Mberel views, and was the advocate of Wberal meaeures then, as Tam now; but I am no social- ist. nor political rsvolutionist without cause. The prime minister, D’Abel, was determined to drive me away; and he plotted against me, raised all kinds af scandal abont me ; rent to France, England, the East Indies and Spain, to get false testimony against me. He represented tothe people that I influenced the king to do all kinds of wickedness, and he attributed bis own oppressive acts to the ane self. In all these villainous schemes he failed, till he called in the aid of the Austrian Prime Minister. Prince Metternich. Thea they tried tocon- ciliate and soothe me, and bribe me to their purposes. I was offered four millions of francs, and the title of Princess, if I would consent te aid them to control the king to advance their plans. This I indignantly refused, and tmmedistely exposed their offer tothe king. He was astonished, and exclaimed, “ It cannot beso.”’ I determined to prove it. 1 agreed upon an interview with Metternich’s snd D’Abel’s agent, Baron Militzhin, in a recom, the sing being concealed so that he could hear ell that passed. He heard the whole. He was con- vinced of the treachery of thore around him, and he @ismiseed his ministry forthwith. The succeseor of D’Abel was a liberal and a Protestant. My course strengthened the king’s confidence in me, and augment- ed the hostility of the Jesuits to both They sought my life by poison ; they sought to sssail my reputation hy misrepresenting my position with the king. and they traduced me to the people as influencing ibe king to their iojury ” This was rather a formidable pei to stand ar- rayed & fede & pror dancing girl, politician as sue was, and we need not wonder that Lola sustained injury in such a contest’ But she has somathing impcrtant to say abeut Switzerland Let us hear ite— The Je wits in Munich are # powerful party.

[ conngr ag that the statistics showed msiderabie lecrease in the number of commitments; yo! they egreed with the Court that the alarming number of murder cases and ssssuits with deadly weapons suowed Feat want of morality in the city, They had reason to proud of the feariess manver in whiod the off-nders had been brought to justice. and to thunk the Moust and the able District Attorney. and his assistants, for their noble efforts to stay the ao vances of ovime aud diecrder, They dwelt upom the necersity of having able. honest, and fear- less public offloers in ali departments of ortmin.i justice; and the will of the people 4s expressed at the ballot box, being that will fairly and fively set forth. They would bring to the Court the consideration of the able seport of Mr, Edmonds, keeper of ihe oN Prison, Lu wale he set forth the alarming foct that the great body of com- mitmente were from the younger classes of the commu- nity, and complained with justice of the limited accom- movations of the pricon. The Grand Inquest had iu- pected the same, end \ the complaint was well founded. They quoted fica the report where be spoke of the diMculfy anu necessity of ciassifestion, which might be obviated by re ing to that department the important room now vecupied by the ixth dietzict po liew, and which wos originaily intended for @ part of the prison, Here they recommended immediate action. ‘They had visited many pudlio schools, acd the institu. tions for the Deaf avd Dumb, and the Blind, amd cou! testify to their good manag-ment aad usefulnese They had viewed with alarm the ulfficuity of cringing miner of- fences tojustice ~such us disorderly houses, houses of il! fame, policy gaunbllog wnd uaticensed ligaor shops—and the great Ciffieulty rested with the police magiatrates, be- fore whos they must be tasen forcommittal, They called upon the Court to aid them to have the jaws remodelled, and Oa magictrates and the Uity Council co do their duty, tuithiuily and feeriessiy, in carrying out the laws.

They bad it from undeniable euthority, that man; landlords in Europe, to escape the poor rates, found it more economical to pay the expenses of passage to this country, and they believed that the shipment of parish dependents was alto carzied on to ® great extent. They came to the conclusion that the laws were ample, if strictly and faithfully carried out; and they asked the authorities to feeriessly invertigate the matter, and if they were satisfied that the Commissioners had done their duty. and the yer cupirc tax was inspfiioient,there was no other alternative but i's increase or direot taxation. It bad been stated to the jury, that the emigrants leav- ing certain portions of the Old World, in the winter. more likely torequite epecial bonds, and they sugge: the policy cf an increase in the capitc tax op the emi- ants leaving between the 16th November and 16th of March They also suggest having sworn inspectors. on the other side, to examine and report on afiidavits as to whether there are any leaving likely to become anineum- brance. They could say, wiih vertainty, that the lew never intended to provide such institutions as we raw in Canal atreet, where fifteen hundred beings were huddled in one building, the condition of which wouid fail in com- |e with any decent pig-stye in thecouu'ry. They ad seen it by day; end what must be its Lorrors by night, imagination alcne could conceive. law evi- dently contemplated the purobase and erection of suite- ble grounds and buildings, where at least cleanliness and shelter could be obtained. and they urged the Oom- missioners to procure such @ one atonce onthe margia of our river, where the commuaication would be direct water from the ships. and where the cfficiel business of the commission could be transacted. Judge Beebe replied—In the spirit of the remarks of- fered by the Grand Jury, the Coart entirely coincided. ‘and would see they reached their proper destination and those departments to which they belonged. As fer asthe Court was concerned, all would be done in their power. ‘The cuties of the present session had been jong and ar- gone te the woods it would have taken him half an hour, ut least; the woods were 100 rods from the houre; I heard no gun while he was goue; I did not hear my ster be- fored got up; can’t teil why | did not go to the well and see what he was joking at; I bad not curiosity enough; Thad curiority enovgh to watch bim go to the well: thought it singular he should eet down Eis gun and look in the well; can’t tell why I did not open the door and look, instead of watching through the hole.
