that it should be corrected His pay aud allowances

months ago the Military Commissioners thought proper
to allow him xtra pay for his duties in reconstruct

ira pay is the rate OF 81 000 per anuum that
temporarily he receives at the rate of $2664 IS every

when the extra duty ceases he will then fall back upon

ATTENTION DRAGONS,

The following communication is from a thoroughly ed

sm,ll pamphlet, bearing on its title page
SxIRxrsH DRILL FOR MOUNTED TRooPs. PRINTED BY Or
DER OF THE WAR DEPARTMENT. WAsHISGros: WM
A. HARRIS, Public PRINTER. 1859.
To the Editor Of The Wing:
At time when military matters are naturally exciting
so much of public attention, think myself fortunate in
being able to bring to the prominent notice Of the peo
ME of Virginia military pamphlet written by Vr-
ginan, Which, for it, practical utility is surp by
any book of similar character within my kno wiedge-
| sllude to the Skirmsh Drill for Mounted Troops
prepared by Captain Dabney H. Maury, Mounted Rifles,
for his own regiment and published in 1859 by order of
| the War Department for the use OF all Cavalry. The
practical mind of the author has enabled him. after
experience of several years Indian frontiers
once seize upon the defects of old system OF Cava
nv tactics taken from the European, and to modify
them as to admirably fulfil the peculiar requirements Of
| our service.
| The principal changes on the old system are
1st The formation IN one rank instead of in tho
ranks Besides extending the line of 'front.' this change
renders Cavalry douby terrible before and enables
the officer to bring his from column into line and
the reverse almost quickly in infantry. BY it a
mounted company has, within nv knowledge, been
brought from the full gaop into fighting order on foot
within sir seconds after the command OF the Captain -
Since the folly Of attempting accuracy OF fire with the
rife caTbne from the horse generally admitted the
Importance of this rapidty cannot be overrated
"a. The dise1dng entirely tie formation By inUer-
sion the word Inversion not occurring in the book
The double effect Of this change is to enable you at
once to bring your men from marching into fighting

away with the confusion and consequent delay which a
ways arises in the minds OF both and officers when
ever the commlnd, "By Inversion, is given.
Sd. The grouping together Of men in sets of fows.
This besides being convenient for the purposes Of
police aud guards in garrison and camp teaches the

RESUMPTION OF SPECIE PAYMESTs.-It was stated yes-
evday that the banks in Philadelphia had fully resumed
the payment of specie The suspension, however,
merely nominal and the formal resumption now attracts
little attention The Philadelphia Pennsy lyanian says
The aggregate of the loans of the banks Of the city is
now but little S24, 100000 about $1,000 900
less than at the time of their Suspension while their
supply of coin has increased two and quarter mil
IONS and their circulation about 5000 OOO The step
has been anticipated for time in view of the large
amount Of gold flowing into the country both from Cal
ornia and Europe, and it will probably be speedily fol-
lowed by resumption by all the banks Of the State
The banks and subtreasurers OF New York, PhiIadel
phis and Boston now hold the enormous amount of
s560o0,OO0 in coin, Of which $40 900 600 Is held in N
York; and the current Of coin from Europe,
amounting about $50 900 900 since the middle of De-
