REMOVAL OF CAVALRY.

The. effects, of Gen. Sibley's ill,judged
removal Of Capt. Taylor's Company OF
Cavalry from Sauk Centre, are thus early
manifesting themselves. A few settlers
in that district, believing their homes to
have been LETT without protection, have
taken up their line of march for the
southern part Of the State. The majority,
however, arc determined to remain, so
long as such seems possibility. But the
state Of uneasiness and feeling of insecu-
rity which pervadcs the whole region thus
LETT exposed, find iudices in the count
less rumors of Indians seen and attacks
apprehended that come to w from the
Sauk Valley country.
Very few Of our men, military and civil,
who give dire ction to affairs, seem to have
an adequate idea of the number of set.
tiers there are upon the north western
frontier, or of the vast quantity of land
that is under cultivation, the tillers of
which look from necessity upon our mill
tary commanders for protection in: their
pursuits. They cannot handle to advau-
tage the plow and rife at the same time
While their numbers are large for agri-
culturalists, they are too scattered tor mu-
tual defense. ~:s
With this state of affairs. Gen. Sibley
takes from the sauk Valley the only com.
pany of cavalry that remained. While
he sends his military south, the Indians ap.
pear in the north. True, there are horses
sufficient at Alexandria to mount a COM
pany Of infantry, but they have ncve,
been under fire and the men are without
discipline in this branch of the service. ..
We trust that Gen. sibley will grant to
the Sauk Valley what is less than her JUS,
due-,one company of we'll disciplined
cavalry. He should not forget that while
military expeditions are very good in tbei,
place, yet protection to settlers who remain
upon their farms is Of equal importance.
1t is not necessary to depopulatea coun.
try before saving it. y.

II will be remembered that at the suggestion of
Governor Tod, a fund was raised at Camp Lucas,
for the benefit of the families Of John Scott, and
while on their way to camp, by the collision on the
Dayton and Michigan Railroad Considerable in
quiry has been made as to the disposition of the
funds. We therefore copy the following from the
Blade, of Saturday last
Eiitor Biade Your article. in the local column
of yesterday evenings Hudc, relating to the ben
eft fund" raised for the support of the widows of
Mcssrs. Scott and Phio, who killed in the
collision on the Dayton & Michigan Il. r., on the
22d of September last, needs an explanation.
The articles in the Fostoria Nau' and Wood
County Independent from which you copied, do
great injustice to the Commissioners Of Wood
County, and are quite erroneous in the amount
raised by the contribution.
The whole amount received from General c. w 4.
Hill, aud which undoubtedly is all that has been
paid over to him, is $4,000. OF this sum S36j.21
has been paid over to the County Commissioners,
and by them paid over 10 the widows. The S265.
IS is now in my hands. and has been received by
me from General Hill since last Mr.. David
son, the County Commissioner, who has the charge
of disbursing this fnnd. There will probably be
about 500 more raised in Colonel Miller's Battal-
ion (of Wood County, for this fund, which will
comprise the whole donation made, and | have no
doubt but it will be faithfully paid over, and a
full report made to the public in reasonable time,
giving due credit TO each Regiment and Company
for the sum by them contributed.
Respectfully yours, JAMES W. ROSS.
