UNITED STATES CAVALRY.

Cavalry has never been decidedly popular
with the older officers Of our army, and this
fact, joined with the heavy expense attending its
support, has had the effect of rendering cavalry
unpopular with the mass of the people. In
truth, horses have been regarded as impedi-
ments to military efficiency, the infantry alone
having had the cordial support of every De-
partment of the Government. AT the close of
the Florida war we had three regiments of
dragons, but the "thrd" was eventually trans
formed into infantry, and the "gallant steeds"
were sold to the highest bidder. At the break
ing out Of the great rebellion, the lack of cav
airy was severely felt by all wLo desired efficient
action in Virginia, but the employment of it
was discouraged by Gen. Scott, and it was only
aller the most peremptory demands were made
by public opinion that orders were issued for the
formation of cavalry regiments. The arm once
adopted, we fear, that for want of experience,
and due regard for economy, we have more
horsemen in the field than are profitable to any
persons except the contractors for forage.
The first serious effort made by our Govern
ment to establish an efiectual cavalry corps was
by MIR. Poinsett, while Secretary of War under
Mr. Van Buren,. He directed that three off
GERS from the "First" and four from the "Sec-
ond' Dragons should be selected and sent TO
Europe, and there thoroughly educated in the
pest schools as cavalry officers From the First
Dragons were selected Lieuts. Eustis, Turner
and Phil Kearney. From the Second dragons

A DASH AT THE "PECULIAR INsTIrU.
N."-Considerab mcrriment and not few
immodest expressions were elected, last Mon
day. by the action of the patrol who pernmbul
ate the Avenue on horseback--a terror to al
fast riders. On this occasion they made an
onslaught upon the darkies who for some time
past have luxuriated in the uniform of U. S
volunteers. How these articles of wearing ap.
parel were obtained by the contrabands alluded
to we have not inquired. The patrol rode NJ
to each unfortunate "Sam" that made his ap.
pearance and proceeded to divest him of eacl
of the articles enumerated, save where the BARI
necessity of the case would not admit of such Q
procedure. Caps, vests and coats rapidly disap
peared from "Sam's" body and were deposited
in the street at the feet of the horses.
"Take off your breeches !" we heard escapt
the lips of one of the patrol.
The darkey grinned, then rolled his eyes
and then, with an astonished countenance
looked up into the face of the patrol.
"Massa," he said, Il aint got muffin else OF
when take desc off,"
This was something of puzzle to the guart
on horseback and SO, not wishing to shock tn,
modesty of the street. "Sam" was allowed t,
depart with his linen trowscrs.-Letter from
Washington.

CoTToN FROM TEXAs.-To the inquiry,
Where is the British contingent of the Mexican
expedition? the answer is given-Bound for
Matamoras. Ifthis be true, it is highly import
ant. The Rio Grande is the boundary between
Texas and Mexico Matamoras is Mexican
port on the west bank of the river, about forty
miles from its mouth. The possession of this
port would enable Great Britain to obtain sup
plies of cotton from and through Texas. The
Rio Grande is, like the Danube, neutral river
and cannot be blockaded The coufcderatcs
would be enabled to Obtain all the supplies they
needed by traffic with Matamoras. Several
vessels have recently left England loaded with
goods for this port; and We think it highly
probable that the right destination of the Brit
ish contingent has been OWNED At any rate
it has not gone to Vera Cruz or its neighbor-
hood.-MOntredL Com. AdC.

SHOW AND SUBsTANCE.-We suppose it is
useless to tell those who have little money to
spend, and have worked day and night to get
that little, to think twice before they make an
outlay of their hard earnings; but we can't
refrain from saying "What pity" when we
see the children of parents in very moderate
circumstances tricked out in fiimsy fnery, when
good substantial clothing might have been pro-
cured for half the money, in which they would
have looked much prettier, and much more
respectable. We often say "What a pity !"
when we see a working girl Haunting snowy
dress bonnet, that i'll asserts with her gown or
shawl. We often say "What pityw when
we see a clerk dressed more extravagantly than
his employer or putting into the hire of
dashing carriage all the earnings of week, or
sporting the equipage on the promise of doing
so without any expectation of performing that
promise. The rainy day of disaster that is sure
TO follow all this sunshine of folly they will not
see, though disgrace and sickness, and work
house bed, and a nameess grave, loom up in
the future for many ofthem. "We can be young,
but once" is capable of more than one inter-
probation, as they seem to forgot. None but
the fool looks to reap the harvest in sowing
time and none but the fool expects when
harvesting comes to reap wheat where only
tares have been sown.
