RIClIboN, VA., Nov. 9, 1877. Tho dincusion in Congremm ye torday aH to tho expedioncy of in creafibg tho army, conoqilont upon the introduction of tho Army Ap propriation bill, Hliowi that oven in tho south th0ro in (lito Ia divorsity of opinionl on that nubject. This Jod mo to ask thiH morning tho viowl of an ox--(Jo fodoriLto golnorld, who is aL promont vory prominontly colnoctod with tho Millitary )1part mont of the Stato of Virginia, and who dovolopod ia soiowiat novol arilly mytoi for ,he 00eoliltry. "In it your opinion that th irmy ought to bo ineroned ?" I asked. "Tho remedy is not ill i incroao of the army. but in it propor organizia tion of tho ililitill-i, blilding up and extending of a mytou of nmili tary rosorvom for natiolll defence, but which shall primarily servo for 8tato polico." "How in thin to be offocted " "Tho Statmi must bo required to protot thomsolvos with thoir own people agitaiinst their own ditordorn. They must bo mado moro robust and solf,roliant. On tho other hand tho military power of tho Union ought to bo olr1god Oil an oxteldod basiH of millitif or voluntoorm, well drillod, wvoll diseiplined and in siruted, w~ho coul oni an1 (more gency b)e called out to resist, foreign mvaminon or to suppress insHurrectionI.

"Inut in tiho very natuire of things. disturbances must occur inl t,bo future. Whoe.hor thu (tilttonl of labor and1( caplital wvill breed them I (do not say. Put the st rikors in possession of the central Went, and they can get it byjtho hallot whenever they arie properly led ; let. them control the goveroent fromIl the Ohio to the lakes, and one0 cani easily foresee fruitful cansos of resistane to thu laws of t.ho Union. We fought the Union on our ideas, bunt other States with Stato laws anld Staito forces had before ns resisted the Union. I therefore in for thlat hereaftor there will bo wars and rumors of wars. Preparation and readinoss to moot thomn is the proper and hoest way to pr~1oent t.hemi. John Brown's raid in 1859 was the spark that burst into flame two years afterward. It is probably wise to watch lost the spark at Pittsburg in 1877 do not burst out somewvhereoelso." FEDEntAL MhJrTIA. "Whbat is your plan of an enlargo mont of the military power of the Union 1'" "There was an attempt to organ ize the militia in tile first p)art of WVashington's administration by tihe passage of an act of Congress for that purposo in May, 179)2, prov'id-. ing for its enrollmont, &c., but it was never enforced. In 1812, durinlg thle war flurry of Mr. Joffer., son's expiring administration, an act was passed app)ropriating $200,000 for ,the purpose of arming and equipping the whole b)ody of thle militia, and this is the only provis ion made by law to this day for them. In 1861 proper legislation was had tb provide for the militia when called into thle service of the~ United States. Now, instead of a large standing armny,the army ought to be ou&down to the force actuall~ necessary for fighting purposes, Bu the militia ought to be organ hod and made effective for ordinar3 guard d~ity ad likewise hold it tadineam an the usWna woormo m. tho Landwehr or Aracp Territo ried6. THE PLIAN. "Tako $10,000,000 from the iriy appropriation and apply it to tlhc militia. Dividod alnong 0he Statos, it will givo Virginia $300,000 for hor quota. With that mn I will idertako to have enrolled, instruct. ed itrid drilled ill proper ciamipm ol imitruction undor proper officorki, 5,000 of IH goo<d troopia ar no. celnury for any erlioregeliy.
