FIRST QUESTION.
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. • , ;

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
.

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.
The board hold the power - of-valdriteer
orps - to make all
. necessary ,bye4aWs,
ules and . , regulations, 'as clearly restricted
!Hire condition that they shall not be in
.o.nsistent. with, the law of the
,state, or, of
be--United-.States. They are of-opinion
bat the privilege secured to .the volunteer
tier seven years faithful service, cannot be
orfeited by any. action . of his ov , ,n. Any

systeni,..by destroying the validity of the
privilege of exemption in ary, case, than

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

ing'of the same, in addition to requiring the

to. time find . necessary and proper to prci . -

— 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.
And in testimbny bf our having made the
foregoing decisions, we have hereunto set
our hands on the said - twenty-fourth day of
May,.eighteen hundretLand.Orty-oue.

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. The
monster still faeed , his !antagonist and kept
its ground, , •
~
Th4rMinifiiintnic 'with - admirable . dOOI ,-
nese and courage, re-leaded' ble,piece and'
again fised Tull at the head of the boa; but
even--thateecond-ehotrthough-it-topireec ,
did not:.finiah,lhe conflict, nor ,cause the
release of .the poor- doge which were still
held fast . in the
'snaky coil. . Again the
determined .lad leaded 'and fired, .and this
time with entire slimes. The victory was ,
complete, and the hunter' 'boy bore off in
triumph the monster he had so bravely con
quered, and was followed 'home by the'
wounded and bleeding dogs •he' had so.gal
lently,reseuel; . .
Something worth knowing,--rwenty
of the Members •of the Convention _which
