ton South. A large nu nber were taken from

at Chicago telegraphed Mr.. Rice, Superintend-
ent of the Central Road to send him 600 cars

materially lessened by these procedures

ANOTHER CAVALRY CoMPANY.-It will
be recollected that thirteen companies OF
cavalry reported for our Second Regiment,
just organized. Only twelve could be re-
ceived, and consequently all the men re-
cruited for Capt. BARroN's company were
distributed among other organizations.
But authority has now been received to
allow Capt BARTON to have his company
organized, with directions that it shall be
attached to HATCH Battalion.
