VOLUNTEER ETIQUETTE.
(To the Editor of the Evening Star.)
Sic, —In reading the report of the reception of our rifle representatives in your contemporary this morning, it struck me that the officers and members of the different corps must indeed be very dull of comprehension and slow to take an insult, when they allow a private volunteer, in the garb of an officer, to act and be acknowledged as Adjutant of the parade, and on the stafi, without his holding the shadow of a commission in the Volunteers. Perhaps the officer commanding does not think that the public has been quietly watching his little petty movements for a long time past, directed against an officer and member of the staff, and one who should occupy at all times the position of Adjutant, from his connection with the different companies. lam thinking some day the clouds will burst, and expose some of the mysterious doings which that position affords, even in Thames Volunteer matters. Trusting that a hint will be sufficient to put matters right, I remain, &c, Onlooker.
