friends of the 14th Cavalry that, since we
commenced writing this article, we have
received, by mail, a copy of an order di-
recting the reorganization of the Regi-

have no doubt to their intended departure
across the plains. We have also receiv-
ed copy of Leayenworth paper in
which we find the following:

of Leavenworth, who have already
done so much to alleviate suffering
for which God bless them-anoth-
er appeal is made to supply at least

evidence in our possession, it seems to Us
that the War Department. are still BEN

not arouse the War Department to prop

pressing importantly, they may be wea
ried into an approval of the public senti
ment in this behalf. We are aware thai
the situation of the country has besn sucl
that the Government has been compelled
to rule with a strong hand nor had il
time to pause to inquire into every alleged
grievance ) but, happily for US all, thai
stern necessity is fast passing away anC
