Correspondence Cleveland Leader.
CANT CHASE, ONO, January 3, 1868.
For theinformation Of the friends ofthe
2nd Ohio Cavalry, send you few items
The health Of the regiment is generally
good, though the recent change from ac-
tive life in the field in the Southwest to
the closer confinement in barracks in camp,
causes many severe colds and some cases
Of sickness. It would be hard to find in
the service q heartier or healthier set Of
men than the present members of the 2nd
Ohio Volunteer Cavalry, their long service
in the field and the hardships Of the sum
mer campaign in the Indian Territory hav-
ing caused the death or discharge Of nearly
all the weakly and unsound. Those left
are emphatically good eggs" We are
comfortably qusrtersd, and our rations are
of good quality andabundant The hOspi-
tails roOmy and well kept. We regard it
as fortunate that we are permitted to rest
q few weeks in winter quarters, but look
forward with eager anticipation to the
time when, with new horses, arms and
equipments, we shall re-enter "Dixie."
The regiment now numbers about $50 men,
of whom about 160 men are still under
General Blunt in Arkansas, forming
IL Stockton's Light Battery" numbered as
Kansas battery.
We hope soon to welcome the H Battery
Boys back to the regiment. By the kind
ness of Colonel kautz, nearly 200 Of the
regiment were allowed to 60 home in time
to exchange New Years greetings with
their friends, and for ten days enjoy the
hOspitalities Of home, and for ten nights,
fun, festivity, and the smiles Of the fair
Al1-zziII receive tan-days, fraRlo1eh
Colonel Kautz is winning golden opin-
ions among us as an officer and q true
gentleman. He is not at all given to

things done correctly and in a business
way. Under his command the Second
cannot fail to become one Of the most eff
cient regiments in the service. By com
mand of Colonel K, applicants for promo
ton are required to pass a rigid examina-
ton as to their knowledge of tactics, regu-
lations, articles of war and customs ofser-
vice, and their ability to command.
Quite a number of the recruits for the
ID Cavalry failed to pass the rigid exami-
nation Of the Surgeon here, though they
had all been passed by the examining Sur
geons at Cleveland, had been sworn in,
and been in camp some three months.
II seems hard that such men, enlisting
in good faith, should get no pay for the
time they are in camp, hut the good of the
service is not promoted by the enlistment
of unsound men, who soon become q dead
weight upon the company and bill of ex-
pense to the Government.
New Years day passed very quietly in
camp. Company D was furnished a good
dinner of roast turkey, pies, apples, and
canned fruit, by Rev. Halstesd, of Marion
county, Ohio, formerly of Trumbull coun-
ty, who has a son in the company. Such
dinners in camp are rare, and are keenly
appreciated. Promising brevity in case I
write again, am yours for Emancipation.

what to do with the Indians.

It is said that the President is still con-
sidering the case of the Indians of Min
nesota, and he is somewhat vexed on the
subject A partof the condemned Indians
il is known have already been executed
What to do with the others the President
does not know. he says that he desires
most earnestly to do justice to the white
inhabitants of the Northwest yet at the
same time he hopes to avoid any inhuman-
ity to Indians. It is not unlikely that q
special term Of the District Court of the
United States will set for the purpose of
trying these Indians for crimes committed
upon the reserved lands Of the Govern
ment, and it is believed that the people of
Minnesota and the Northwest generally
viii be willing to abide the result by fair
trial by a court that is without prejndice
on the subject.

10 - 49, Crop nf Ohio.

The editor Of the Ohio Farmer has lately
travelled through the State and gives it as
his opinion, that upon the whole, he has
never seen such feeble start for the win
ter crop as there was in December. The
severe drouth which lasted from July to
November in all Ohio south of a narrow
belt along the Lake, made it impossible to
put in the wheat in many districts, and in
others so retarded the termination Of the
seed, that there was asmall show of plants
ct the Beginning Of winter. In some
river bottoms where the drouth had not so
completely parched the soil, there was a
better prospect.
