endurance
The use of the horses will be paid for at the rate
OF SO cents day. while in the service of the Uni.
ted States, and their full value if lost No outlay
need be made for equipments until n uniform is
accepted The companies will consist of Sc pri.
Yates and the usual number Of officers The en-.
tire force will be assembled for organization and
drill at a common rendezvous soon after hravest

gladly mustered in by the Government, while
companies of unframed riders are rejected.
No provision have yet been made for Cavalry

otisrn of our people, who, as individuals, either in
townships and counties, will aid to support the
men, while receiving instruction and drill Good
horsemen who can leave home will be found few
In each locality, Some will be able to equip and
maintain themselves, and those who need will, no

where they reside.

equip and maintain two horsemen each. until they
are accepted by the U. s.. Are there not tbous-
