The annual inspection and muster of the First Regiment Infantry, N. §. C., and of the First Artillery Battalion was | held in this city during the past week, the former in the Page street and the lat- ter in the Ellis street armory. The re- port of Major Hayden, representing the United States War Department, and that of Colonel John A. Koster, representing Major General Dickinson, will make in- teresting reading when the same are pre- scnted. During the inspection of one of the companies of the First Regiment Major Hayden approached one of the men and asked him if he belonged to a squad. The ready answer was, “I do, sir.”” The ; question that followed was, “Who 1s your corporal?”’ and the answer from the sol- dier was, without hesitancy, “Sergeant McManus.” The inquiry was not pursued further. Then the major asked another soldier something about the position in which a gun should be held uncer certain condi- tions and the individual attempted to demonstrate, but was either ignorant of the movement or did not fully compre- was “Did you have the officers of your command at a school of instruction two hours daily.” To this the captain, with- out a moment’s hesitation, wrote ‘“Yes.” The major called the captain’s attention to the fact that in the regular army offi- cers attend a school of instruction, but doubted if such was done '~ in |, the National Guard. The captain admit- ted that he had not read the ques- tion carefully, and after doing so amended his answer to that question and to severil others.
