AN INTERESTING LETTER FROM GENERAL
DABNEY II. MACRY.
IL lie Lnlifnl of fLn ulsnnfch

An INTERESTING LETTER FROM GENERAL
DABNEY II. MAURY.
To the Editor Of the DlSpdtch:
am glad to see a disposition growing in
Richmond in favor Of a cavalry organlza-
ton. Let ne offer some suggestions which
NAV facilitate the efficiency OF such troop.
With the introduction OF the long-rangc
rifle sabrcs passed out OF practical use.
The use OF cavalry was more extended. and
as mounted rilemen il became larger and
more important part oi army organizations.
1t is now a wcl[establShed principle OF
war that cavalry cannot make a "swOrd-
INLAND charge" upon infantry armed
with long-range guns. The most notable
Illustration was the charge OF the splendid
Household cavalry OF France at Sedan. The
whole force melted away under the German
rifles. and before it attained the distance
for taking up the charge pace there were
none left - charge.
During our late war Forrest became the
most conspicuous exponent OF the power OF
mounted infantry. The double-rank for
nation i too cumbrOus and difficult to
answer the progress OF the armament OF
the times. Not long before the war a sim
gle-ranA tactics was established for mounted
rifemen, which was added to the United
states cavalry tactics, and adopted
also by the Confederate War De-
partmcnt. General Frank Armstrong,
General Walker. and other cavalry
commanders. used it throughout the
war. \ troop can learn it in few drills.
have repeatedly seen a troop OF mounted
rifles at full gailOp when the trumpet
sounded dismOunt to fight" and in seven
seconds the horses were securely linked
and the men handling their rifles on the
line OF battle. It Is OF all drills, except horse
artillery, the most rapid and exciting. 1t
combines the CELEBRITY OF cavalry move
mentS with the deadly accuracy of infantry
sharpshOoterS.
General Grant has said, in view OF his
great experience and observation, that
swords and bayOnets should be entirely
len out of the equipment OF armies. The
rife and siX-ShOoter are enough Tor a
mounted mans offensive and defensive
use>-and too much Oftentimes for him TO
keep in order.
Smart young fellows, such as those who
will compose your Richmond troop, can
I'm few DAYS practice become expert with
the ,ix-,h0Oter. have known troop OF
forty men to put half their balls while
riding at the speed Of their horses IN the
space OF a mans breast.
II requires years Of drill to make a man
exDert with a sabre, and then he is always
at The mercy OF the revolver.
These suggestions, drawn from more
than forty wears experience and study OF
the prof ssion Of arms, may simplify and
expedite the efficient equipment and drill
of the Richmond city troop.

Rain 1T Last.

Rain commenced to fall early yesterday
morning. At midnight the heavens were
overcast with clouds, but the strong wind
and low telling OF the thermometer barely
promised rainfall. However, about day
break the rain began to fall, gently at first,
but at intervals in the day heavy showers
came down. The drought has been eX-
tenslye, vegetation suffered, streets were
dusty, streams Were scant OF water,
and a general complaint OF dry weather has
been heard on all sides. This made the
