These admirable dispositions were
executed with the utmost exactness, in
accordance with Grants orders, and the
way In which it was done is the highest
testimony to the quality Of the troops
and the ability Of their commanders.
The weather was stormy and much Of
the time the troops had to march
through heavy showers which flooded
the roads and lowlands and made move

Still, every one was executed with the

from the surrounding country, cooking
them over fires that the rain constantly
beat down, and by the earliest dawn,
shortly after 4 o'clock, started of

Ringgold's Cavalry.
During Juno and July of this year
there were other Independent cavalry
organizations, which. through the in

actually forced their way into the
Army OF the Potomac in spite of the
persistent opposition Of the War De-
partment. Among them was an in

West Virginia and took q conspicuous
part in the Rich Mountain campaign.

across the Potomac, and the troops
which had been embarked, and had

the other side. Instructions had been
issued from Washington not to bring

to Fitz John Porter that "Seven regi-

Another organization was the Iron

which was attached to the command Of
Brig Gen. Cox, then in West Virginia.
One of the Independent organiza-

fighting qualities was known as Brack-

New York sent out some independent
organizations. One was a militia cavalry

leave the State, despite their urgent
requests, until the 18th Of July, and
were mustered out at the expiration of
three months.

by Capt. Sauers.
There was an organization of New
York cavalry which maintained an in
dependent existence from it's muster in,
Sept. 4, 81, until the close Of the war.
This was known as the Oneida Cavalry,
from the circumstances of having been
recruited in Oneida, Madison County,

P. Mann, and was attached to the head

being kept there until the expiration of

the necessity for cavalry seemed to be
more thoroughly appreciated, and au-
thority was given by the War Depart
ment for recruiting and equipping
them. During the months Of July and
August several regiments were ten

States. and their services accepted, al
though they were not armed and
equipped for many months afterwards.
Indeed, throughout the, Autumn and
Winter Of 1851 there was still decided
reluctance on the part of the General
Government to accept the services of

energetic efforts OF such staunch loyal
lists as Hannibal Hamlin, James G.

Still did the authorities at Washing
ton refuse to accept cavalry.
Shortly after the receipt of this COM
municatiOn from Gen. CadWalader,
Gen. Scott telegraphed to Gen. John
A. Dix, Of New York. to come to him
at the first convenient moment, "for
desire you to take command of the
Alexandria and Arlington Department.
Bring horses with you.-Winfield
Scott"
Appeal after appeal was made for
horses and cavalrymen. In one of
these urgent letters dated June %,
1861, Gen. Patterson said: "Gen. T. J.
Jackson Is occupying points on the
Potomac, having $1,000 men, % guns
and 1000 cavalry, while my artillery
horses are without harnesses, and I
have no cavalry to defend the fords Of
the river between Harper's Ferry and
Hancock"
On the same date, June %, Cover

there was active campaigning, wrote
to the Secretary Of War: II have also
two companies Of cavalry Of 100 men
each, ready to muster into the service.
They are much needed. They are also
gathered from the mountain regions
and well acquainted with the country.

But they were not accepted.

An hour later they sat at the supper
table at which Gertrude. in a pretty
sprigged lawn dress, presided. The
beefsteak was done to a turn the bis

glass dish of peaches was flanked by
pitcher of rich cream. In the center of
the table stood low bowl of pink and

the table, glanced at his wife with
mingled surprise and appreciation.
