NO VE L VIA'O WS OP1 AN EX
Bow to Incroase the Military Forco

Organizing a Militia for Future

Correspomknce New York )kral(.
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.
The people of the cout, ry go allong
an if no0 oilher war were otor to
ocour. Thie 01no wolhad t.hey sup
pose to ho sailict to last forever.
"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. InI the
hamne ratio 175,000 good tioldiorn
coild be trainiled in the Union an11d
held in readinems. Tho Stat,o should
be alloWed to orgaize and oflicOr
their own militia. 'lo surplus
officera of tho United States army,
after a propor term of Horvico on
tle frontiir ill actilld caplip life,
ihould ho stationed inl t,o Stites to
supervise and iistruct, liiit.il, in
iipcet thoir condition id report how
the appropriation i exp)ended
It would be proper to keop the cadre
of tho regular army as to its
taff an(d coilnisioned officor on

000 or 100,000 mon. \Vlen the
Inilitial Wa calld out the wholo nm

CAiE OF THE FO'R4.
"A portion of the militia could
