Inc troops are beginning to leave Fort Leaven-
worth for frontier posts. Companies b and are
ordered to Fort Smith, Arkansas; companies c and
! to Fort W ashitaw, Choctaw Nation; companies
+ and X to Fort Riley, the former commanded by
Captain Sacket, and the latter by Major Sedgwick
Companies and left for their post Yesterday
/ They made fine appearance they started off.
Companies and | start TODAY.
The only companies left at Fort Leaven-
worth which are to remain during the winter are
company OF heavy artillery, and companies A and
/ NJ flight artillery. All the companies embracing
those destined for the frontier or at the Fort
are pretty full. The Fort itself will present
! quite desoate appearance in comparison with last
year.
Companies and A, and C and will leave their
posts early in the spring, for the purpose Of going
to the Rio Grande in the southern part of Texas
fight the Camanche and Apache tribes, which have
been committing fearful depredations.
The Second Cavalry regiment has been stationed
In Texas since 1850, and have a good deal of
service. The companies have been greatly decima-
ted and they are scattered at many Of the forts
the outskirts of Texas. The companies ordered
down from Fort Leavenworth will have plenty of
work during the next wear.
The st. Louis RepaLiicon learns that the sixty
trains at Camp Floyd, and some fifteen or twenty
more between that point and Fort Bridger, with
the ten trains beyond Bridger, will compose the
whole number destined for Utah this season. 4
! train consists of twenty-five wagons, averaging
some 300 pounds to the wagon.
Mucn credit Is given to Russell, Majors and W adj
dell, the army contractors, for their energy and
| enterprise.
The troops are in excellent condition, and are
now well quartered for the winter
The South Pass mail party met with no difficulty
on the route, from snow or any other obstruction.
| Passed several trains between South Pass and Camp
! Floyd, all of which would be able to reach their
| destination before winter set in.
| The Mormons and Gentiles were getting along
| amicably, no chickering's and disturbances being
manifested by either party.
| The coming winter promises to be hard one for
| the poor Of New York. The Times says:
The early setting in of winter has led to the dis
missal of considerable number of men who were
employed on the various public and private works
in the city and the mel ghborhoOd 4 considerable
number have been discharged from the Croton Re-
servOir and those that have been retained have had
their wages reduced to 50 cents day-a lower rate
than has been paid in many years. About ! 800
men have been dismissed from the Central Park
but those that remain still paid 90 cents for .
hours work
There is very little prospect of any work offering
for those unemployed laborers during the next
three months, and unless something can be provi-
ded for them to do they will become burden upon
the city and the private charities of our citizens
will be severely taxed to relieve their necessities
much greater number of men have been suddenly
deprived of work than the case last winter
when so much distress was anticipated, and such
earnest endeavors made to provide against
season of suffering.
