The Second Regiment of Dragoons.-We are
grati6ed to see the editorial corps manifest such
desire to remount this crack regiment. If the
necessity, expediency and policy of the act, are
not grounds to justify it, debt Of gratitude which
we owe that gallant Regiment for their active and
efficient service during tie Florida war, demands
that ii should be restored to that rank, OF which
they hayo been shorn. The MEMPHIS EN-
QUlRER, that invaluable paper to the interests
of this frontier, and to the Army, says: "At u
last Congress this regiment was dismounted an
organized, we believe as rifle infantry. strog
effort will be made at the approaching session
remount them. Most earnestly do we hope It ma
be successful. For the purposes of frontier Prl
lection on the peace establishment they are Ger!
tainly far more efficient than either infantry d
tiIlery. A single regiment OF dragons, movil
with celerity OIL the borders of the Indian countis
making their appearance unexpectedly in sevsI
raj detachmen,s at different points-will 60 fu|
ther to overawe our savage neighbors than II
building of half dozen forts. For the purpose
of supprcssng instructions, either servle or saw;

organized. There is at present but one mounted
regiment in the whole army. We sincerely hope
the second regiment will be remounted.
The Enquirer, in relation to the abortive (dis

in this matter, by the "General-n-C Chief" whose
vanity and malevoence are equally interested in
preserving in existence the present miserable sys.

sented to that body, we have not doubt of its ia.
vorable action. Will not the lnteligencer unite
with US in urging the matter upon the attention of
the Representatives and Senators from Arkansas,
and the other States interested %
Most cordially will we unite with the Enquirer,
and sincerely thank its editors for their friendly
proposition.
