Americas Need of Cavalry.

Discussing the possibilities OF war
with England, and the strength OF the
United States militia or national guard.
some of our newspapers lately boasted
that an army of 100000 men could be
thrown into Canada within n few
weeks How many of these men would
be mounted on horseback? 1t is 2 very
pertinent inquiry, for it requires from
three TO six months training to max.
a cavalryman. and some of the states
which furnish large contingentS to the
national guard have not single troop
of horses. If there is any lesson that
the failure of the confcderacy can teach
us. il is this: that an invasion of
