VISION the Cavalry arm of the service,
which has received the approval
of many prominent general officers
Inc plan contemplates that no soldier
shall be permanently mustered until he
mas received years instruction and
proved himself capable of taking care
OF horse; that one third of the force,
consisting OF the recruiting Regiments,
snail be kept dismOunted, with only a
suthc1ent number of horses for instruc-
ton in equestrian; that the Regiments
shall rotate in being dismounted; that
after Regiment has been thoroughly
Instructed, mounted and sent to the
field, 1t shall not receive any recruits
until recalled TO the place of RENDEZVOUS.
By this means there will be no troops
in the field but the most efficient.
Senator Morgan proposes to introduce
one day next week, bill to revise the
pension laws, and make them more
uniform tntheir operations. Under the
laws in force a soldier who hast lost
both arms, legs or eyes, gets SIS dollars
per month for his support; while poor
Jacktar, in the same wretched condition,
gets only s. dollars.
says:
"A letter received here from London,
speaks of the arrival there of George
n. Sanders, and of his visiting import
ant personageS whose acquaintance he
made whenIin the United States, during
Pierce'S administration. He informed
these persons that when he was sent by
JEDI Davis to negotiate with Napoleon
Tor the recognition of the Southern
ContederaCy, he was accorded two in
terviews with the Emperor, and that
the invasion of Mexico was undertaken
In pursuance of plan then agreed
upon, for which the Emperor insisted
on being secured in possession of So
nora, Sinola and Lower California.
Mr.: Sanders adds that he demonstrated
and offered much greater Inducements
than Mexico presented, but the Emper-
or was obdurate.
Under the head of temporary service
under contracts that expire in June
next, the Postotfice Department has
ordered additional postal facilities in
mississippi, Louisiana and Texas to
the following extent: In Mississippi
the number of miles of service added
is 500, embraced in l6 routes and in
Guiding 62 offices; in TeXns, go miles,
embraced i'll five routes, and including
Al offices; i'll Louisiana, IT, miles, en-
Draced in two routes, and including
II offices.
Liberal terms are also being offered
by responsible parties to engage in con-
tracts for mail service in other parts of
Texas, northern Louisiana and southern
Arkansas. Southern Texas is well pro-
vided for by the mail routes lately put
in operation from New Orleans to bra
shear over the, Opelouses railroad.
The only Consulates now open are a
few isolated and unimportant ones.-
The largest salary among the number
to be filled by appointment at present,
being not more than $500, while most
of them have no emoluments save pal
try fees, that are estimated at 800 per
annum.

CAIRO, Dec. 9.-The proprietors OF

sultation and combination.
It is reported that the rebel General

spirit OF the stock Mar.et.

NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-The Commercial
says:
The large sales of gold by the Assis-
tant Treasurer have directly affected
the money and stock markets. 1t is
understood that it is the intention of the
Treasurer to sell in all, at present, five
million dollars. This has produced a
large withdrawal of currency into the
sub Treasury, which probably will not
get into circulation again until the 18th
inst, when Sl0,95O,OOO of the interest
upon the second series of seven thirties
will be due. The result is apparent in
partial changing of loans and a COM
parative scarcity of money. Some of
the brokers find it difficult to borrow,
and the consequent moving around for
loans produces the appearance of u very
active demand, while the amount of ac-
commodation wanted, perhaps is no
more than usual.
The stock market has taken a decid-
eddy "bearish" cue. The "bulI" cliuues;
do their best to stem the demand cur
rent and succeeded in checking the de-
cline, but the money market is very
strong. Combinations of operations are
against them, so that a fall in prices
would seem almost inevitable.
Government stocks are again weak,
The condition of the money market is
inducing some of the speculative hoI-
ders to sell, aud quotations are Iakc
lower.
The directors of the Chicago & North
Western railroad, have decided to pass
the dividend upon the preferred stock
and to appropriate its surplus to equip
ment purposes.
Discounts are dull. The demand is
active, but with a partial scarcity OF
funds. There is disposition to favor
call loans ut the expense of paper
Prime bills are current at TAG per cent.
loans, the rate is uniformly 7per cent
Gold continues weak. The govern.
ment is understood to be still selling
and the demand tendency is helped by
the late bulls selling out freely. The
price has ranged at about 1447<.

From NeW OrIenns.

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 1.-THE Monroe,
La, Register complains of military
interference by force of arms, to take
from the sheriff of the parish A. Terry,
sub-Rgent, who has been arrested by
the Judges decree on affidavit made,
charging him with stealing cotton and
obtaining cotton under falsee pretences.
The Register makes strong complaint
against the Treasury agent for the man
agement of the cotton business in that
section and Southern Arkansas, and
states that Mr.. Burbridge, Treasury
agent at New Orleans, has instructed
his agent at Monroe to disregard the
writ of sequestration and Injunction
issued by the State court of claims.
Judge Paselie, on his return from
Washington to Austin, issued an adj
dress to the people of Texas, as to what
will be required to get the State back
into the Union. The State Convention
must declare slavery abolished, never
to exist except as punishment for crime;
recognize the rights of the negroes as
freedmen; ratify the constitutional
amendment; declare the secession Or
dinance and ratification of confederate
constitution and the dependent act for
resistance null, and also the State war
debt. The Judge cautions the people
who they elect to carry these measures
into effect. Great Importance will be
attached to their choice, as an evidence
of their sincerity to the Government.
Constitutional reforms outside of the
above measures will not be allowed I'M
less submitted to the people for ratifica-
ton.

WASHINGTON, Dec. lO.-Maj. General
| Logan was for a long time in consultiI-
ton with Secretary Seward yesterday
on the subject of affairs connected with
/ the Mexican mission.
Whatever truth there may be in the
recently published rumors respecting
| the Presidents contemplated action
with regard, to the Southern States, it is
well known here that he acts in all
cases affecting restoration as they arise,
and thus, while engaged in that work,
| IS the best exponent of his own policy

course he will pursue in the future

sci and consults with but few, If any.
members as to the construction of the
standing committees. The subject is
| one of great interest to those having
legitimate business before the House
and also to an energetic class of men
here known as the "lobby."
Official information has been received
at the department of State of the ndop-
ton of the amendment to the constitu-
ton upon the subject of slavery by the
Rhode Island, Michigan, Massachusetts,,

twenty-three States. Telegraphic in
formation has been received OF the
adoption of the amendment by the
three States of North Carolina, Georgia
and Alabama. No information of any
kind has been received of its adoption
or rejection by Indiana, Iowa, Califor-
mia, Oregon, Florida, Mississippi or Tex
as. Official information of its rejection
by the legislatures of Kentucky, Della
ware and New Jersey, has also been re-
ceived. Immediately after the passage
of the resolutions by Congress, an at
tested copy of the amendment was for
warded by the Secretary of State to the
Governor of each State, and sometime
| ago the Secretary also sent circular to
the Governors reminding them of the
duty imposed upon them by the act of
Congress of the 10Th of April, 1918, to
| give public notice when the amend
ment shall have been ratified by the
requisite number of States. From this
it will be seen how desirable it is that
the States which have not reported or
| decided upon the matter, should lose no
time in doing so.
