The first question presented to 'the dis r elusion of the board, was from the Brigade Inspector of the . First Brigade, First Divi sion,Pennsylvania Militia :—, Whether within the bounds of said b '- pile any independent battalions of. volu teers can be formed, except battalions o artillery, especially provided for by the 34th section of the act of 1822 ? The 33d section enacts that any volun teer troops or. companies, except within the bounds of the Ist brigade, Ist division, may be formed into battalions or regiments, although not of ~t4g. satne' . lescriptiOri of troops or force. This is followed by a specification-,0 the number and grade of officers to which -battalions shall be, entitled, according to•the number of troops• or companies which may constitute them. Section 34th provides that within the bounds ofthf - Tlst - brigtide, regiments of vo lunteers shall be formed of troops and Com panies of the same description of arms. It appears from the provisions of. the • 33d section that the legislature wished to give every facility to the organization of volunteers into regiMents or battalions throughout the state. It allows of battalions of air, five, four or three companies or troops, and even (page 79) of two troops of cavalry. It appears also that no other restriction is imposed oti the volunteers of the Ist brigade, except that their regiments must eonaiat of troops of the same description of arms. The board can perceive no ground why the volunteers of the.said brigade .should ,bp deemed an exception to the general sys -lem, and are thereforsoof opinion that with - in - the - bounds of the first brigade aforesaid, battalions may be formed, but subject in-the same restrictions as to uniformity of arm as regiments : battalions being. only frac tional parts of regiments, and intended to be united into one whenever two of the same,description of arm can be raised con taining the requisite number of troops and companies. SECOND QUESTION. Whether volunteer corps have the right of inflicting on their officers or members higher fines for nen-attendance at their trainings, than those specified in the 23d section of the act of 1822? • • By the 25th 'section, members of volun - teer corer are - made subject 10 - the:-same fines for non-attendance at parades for in -spection, and such other , trainings as shall be determined upon by said corps, as in the case of jrcoilp or company trainings, and to be cellected.in the same manner for. the use or iiia troops and Companies respec t lively.' The 87th sectionallers volunteer —O - corps to ,reduce those firies4o one half 'or ~.. the amount' on'any ; training. days except 'thole established by law: for the training , of .„, the militia. • , ; 'rho legislature has th us - clearly eitabv lishe,d,ths raisin:lnm and the minimum ,of ' fmeo; Ihe board is tberefower 0 1110 10 n lba; tbe s imP o o l o ol l °CAMS' fineilmt.aq• -• traininf • day .whatirCr, higher 'than it specified by' the the -26(1 section, 's inconsistent viith the of lawtheitate. -- . . . „ ~, . -.• . - ‘, '-- TIORD--QUESTIOW---- ' - : bliio**Ptitei who lutii..ooed siren ffill yeara 'Ms a regular member . .ora . volunteer corps, conforming to the reciniSitions of, the .47th . section, forfeit thePrivilege'of exemp 7 lion .thimacgoired,either—byzconti nuingT-in the same corps. or . , enrolling himself in ano ther, after the' expiration of said seven years.? As: an incentive-to joining,atid-.remaining attached 10 volunteer corps , and performing faithfully the duties of.a citizen soldierolie legislature has thought proper to enact that any volunteer yhp shall have served seven - successive years as. a member of-any or ganiZed volunteer corps, shall forever there-. after be:exempted from militia .duty, - eZcep,t' in tune of invasion s insurrection or al . - legislature thus. reserves - to the state the right of Calling upon such an exempt whenever the country steeds in 'need of his services. . . , Instances:have occurred .of, - companies= to accept the resignation of such :tempt members.

Any orps enrolling or retaining such an exempt, In so -- With theirieyes .open; just:As when, her-rereivedn-their-ratiksrlerrymenrcus om-house officer*, postmasters and their Jerks, and others .protected by the.. eighth ace ion. - .belie-tre-d-tirat , more barn, would, be done to the volunteer systeni,..by destroying the validity of the privilege of exemption in ary, case, than benefit derived from holdinCto the rolls a reluetant member, in time of peace and in- Arnal tranquility. 'FOURTH QUESTION. Had' the . Afljntant,Geheral the right toin gist on - a regulation lately adopted by him, that no' arms shaillie - delivered to any vol. unteer•corpstmless such corps be provided With : a-sufficient-armory for the safe keep ing'of the same, in addition to requiring the thr.sect the Adjutant. General is reqt_tiredy• make, such regulations - relative to the amount and kind_ of-security-to be given - for-arms ;and aceontrements delivered 'to volunteer com panies, as well' as - al), such .other regulations fOr the disppsition; stcurityj _and-presertth lion: of the arms-aud - litilitark p"forforty the commonweattlf;as_ he may from time to. time find . necessary and proper to prci . - mote the public interest. — Tliar_Seetion -sufficiently establishes die right of-the--Adjutant General to make such a regulfition as the one referred,tn, and the boattl.itre onanitnemitt their opinien of its propriety. FIFTH QUESTION. Can a Brigalle . lnspector hold - at the same time-a commission as an officer in any corps of volunteer or militia ? The board have sought-in vain in the law for any. passage which even by the most strained construction, might warrant a sup position that.the legislature ever suspected or much less contemplated so singular a cumulation of powers in the same indi vidual. • But they find among, the Multifailons civil and military duties of a' Brigade In spector, nany which are clearly incompat ible either with a commission in the volun teers or . militia, or eve Ca-membership in any volunteer corps. The state requires' Brigade Inspectors to see that all the laws relative to the militia of their brigade be properly enforced, and for that purPose , clothes them ,with exten sive civil and military powers. 1/4S -- They - are especially entrusted - witli - ihe inspection of the difTeren - t-corzs from the highest officer in rank to the private, and directed to see that • they are one •a - nd-all, armed and eqiiipPed according to law ; that their trainings take place on the days di rected by the act; that fines he inflicted and collected ; that,proper bonds and securities be given for the safe keeping and return of arms delivered. That an officer should inspect himself or become sole judge of his sown.bond and securities, or pursue, legal measures for the recovery of fines for which he is liable, seems too great' an absurdity to be aerioui-, ty. entertained.. In time, of actual service, how could. a -Brigade-Inspector - direct - the drafte - of - the militia, the organization of detachments a bout to marah, the a ppraisement of officers' chorses; - w hiltetcomnander - or - member of a volunteer corps, he' would be E:ootind..:to. take the field in the first place, or as an of ficer of militia to march off afterwards. It would be 'endless tcTeintimerat . e• the . many false positions/in which a Brigade, Inspector, Inspector, thus •situated, would be thrown I 'et every step. They are repugnant to all ideas of discipline, and would entirely de responsibility which the legisla-1 tura hatvery properly connected With the 'office. The board arc clearly of opinion that no Brigade inspector can hold at the same time a Commission of officer of volunteer or militia, or be a member of a Volunteer corps.

From the Liberia Herald of April 26. .ft Nobel Fight.—On Tuesday last a young lad of this town, named Samuel Sell, was hunting in the woods near here, with two dogs. He had lost sigh; of them a few moments, when he heard their piteous cries and yells; is if in the greatest distress. Supposing a leopard, had caught one of them, he advanced cautiously in the , direc tion 'of_ the noise, and had gone but a few paces when he--foun himself within half a dozen yards of a boa constrictor, in whose vast fold - s,both of his struggling dogs were enveloped.' , The snake at the same moment discov ered him, and raising its head in a.thieat -ening manner, began slowly to recede with, its prey. The lad. instantly levelled gun and fired, wounding the snake in ,the ,neck and heed; but Without cauling bra to relinquish his hold upon ,the'dogs.
