OUO AN I CATION OF TflE MILITIA. I invite yonr attention to Article IS of the Constitution providing for the organization of tlie militia of this State. A veil regulatrd mi* Htin being necessary to the security of a free State, I tiust that the General Awemhly will toku action upoii this important subject at an early day. I ?in assumed that the quota of nruna to which the State may be entitled, according to ific "number of Iter organized militia. will bo' promptly fbraished by the War Department, upon th6 transmission of the fir?per requisition. I respectfully request that the Governor may be authorised to luuke requisition for one linlf of those arms, in the pattern of Springfield rifle, ill general use iu the United. States Army, and for the other half in the improved breach loading Springfield rifle, now beiiig altered at the United Stales Arsenals, froui the now pattern of muzzleloaders. 1 suggest that the General Assembly shall designate by law the depositories for those arms. ' As soon'as the militia shall be organized and equipped, the military forces of the United State*, now ia the State, pursuant to the Reconstruction acts of Coogress, may, with propriety, be dispensed with. Although that fore* has been of great valuo in extending needed protection to the people, yut the continued presence of the military is a reproach to a Republican State. Our government must I rest upon obedience to law, "and upou that wining support wiai uie ciLizen ulioulil give lo the institutions that protect him. HI!. IT ACT ORKP.Rt. The several military commandor* have-iMued general and special orders iluring the exi?tonee of the Provisional Government of the State, which I recommend that you will declare of binding force until repealed or rendered iaop. erativc by Acta of the Geueral Assembly.? The orders referred to relate to the colleotion of debU>, the atay of proceedings in the courts in Certain case*, and the relations of landlord* atiti tenants, ?fcc." It will prevent gre'at diitdrbanco ' ajrid1'inconvenience to ninny of our citius ff the opcrotiun of thoaa orders ia continued until they can be substituted by the necessary laws. Indeed, ttie Supreme Court of lha United States has decided more linn once tbat military order*, issued pnranant to an aot of Congress, for Ibe government of any domain acquired by conqiest, continue in force per mc at law, until formally repealed by the regularly organized civil government.

Wo bad Iho pleasure on "Wednesday I and Thursday last, of attending tho annual Commencement.1) of the Duo Wost Colleges, which, in tho variety and inlerost cf tho exercises, and tho largo attendance of spectators, wore surpassed by none of their predecessors. A largor crowd wo think wo never saw on a similar occasion. From the Savannah to tho Saluda, the young ptoplo turned out en masse to do honor to this literary feast, whilst - I - * mere was a lull representation of the youth and beauty, of otbor sections oi tbo District, of tbo adjacont Districts] and of others more remoto. Tho examinations commenced or Thursday of tho preceding week, and. as usual, wo learn, were thorough anil searching, and entirely satisfactory The young ladios, especially, showod their ability to solve thoso problems ol Bcicnco and master those difficulties ol montal and moral philosophy, wbicl aro supposed to tax to their utmost capacity tho intellect of tbo "lords o creation." At tbo close of tbo examinations thero was a meeting of the Board o Trustees of tho Male College, at whicl the very interesting subject wns die cussod, ae to the oxtent of the restrictions which should be imposod upor tbc intovcourBO of tho pupils of th< two Colleges during tho sessions; but without arriving at any satisfactory conclusion, tho Board referred th< matter to tho consideration of nub-oom inittccs to be appointed by tho tw< Boards of Trustees.

After the close of these exer cises, u pleasant hour was spoDt in th Eirphemiau Hall in the interchange o short speocbes between tbe alumni am honorary members of tbe societies.
