] gee that one or two correspondents Of
you1e, writing from this State, make it their
special delight to criticfse the authority given
to ex~Goy. BarstoH to raise and equip Cav.
airy Regiment in this State. The facts Of the
MISTER viii doubtless better suit your taste.
and will be more instructive, II not more en-
teEtaining to your readers.
From the commencement Of the war 8 large
numker Of patriotfc citizens Of this State were
des1rous of raising companies Of cavalry. The
s ate authorities, however, Tould give them
no e1 encouragement, and those desiring to serve
in that Way, either had to stay at home Or 60
in some other capacity. Repeated applications
wS5s n;ae to tes It, "aF FL Pa to sa za5e
wae -" raise cavalry there and We will accept
them" This left it right where it was before,
for the State authorities were not authorized
by our Legislature to do anything Of the kind.
