VOLUNTEERS.
To the 3 liter.
Sir, —I have taken some interest lately in Volunteering matters, and I am very sorry to see that the D.V.A. take so little interest in the commands given by their superior officer (the Adjutant Commanding the District). On the sth there was a battalian parade called, and all the companies were present except the D.V.A. It appears they had received notes or cards calling them for gun drill. Now I think it is a great shame that the D.V.A should have gone so far as to turn up in plain clothes. It is not at all soldier-like, and I think if their officer does not know better, he should be made to do so. It is a regular insult to the other companies and the officer of the district. Ido not think that this will blow over ; it is a matter that should be seen into, as I have heard that they intend to have battalion parades, if they may so be called, for themselves —I am, &c., An Old Volunteer. Dunedin, July 10.
