-candidate for Supreme J.:dge. On this account
Hon.
the recoMmendation of Hon. Oswald Thompson,
of Philadelphia, by the writer of the communi
o.tion In queStiotr, is of great importance; and,
coupled with Judge :Thompeon'e - Coivn high

The Cavalry Branch. of the Service
Some of our Western each ng.s notice the
purchase of large numbers of tic•Nes , . t beship
pod to the diff:ret,tarruies, and from this fact the
inference is drawn, that the Cavalry branch of
the service "s to 1”. increased and hal roved. What
ever those ,n authotity may think of this sub
ject, it is the opinion of many practical and
farseeing men not in power, that it is time
such increase and improvement were made. If
the war, on its present scale, would end in a
month, the Government could not get along
without a large cavalry force, a force infinitely
larger than any heretofore dreamed of by
soldiet or sage, because the opposition waged
against the Government could not be counter
acted by any force except that which would
operate in the saddle. The.end of thiswar will
not "ar+Pie with the. disbanding of the rebel
armies. It will only disperse over the Southern
country companies of desperate men to take
skieltsFAtriongitsmuWain ftstrieis, w svatt
nas acd its ravines' 'These will be troublesome
while they live, arid will only be counteracted
by being' eXterminatetr" And id' secure' Elicit
extermination the service of cavalry will be
largely required.
',But theantatt urgent `rie4swity . of Cavalry
Is that which hoe iken felt for the last twelve
months. Had Gen. Cameron's policy been car
rttsl out, the Natio* army would have for_ W .
support a Cavalry force such 'as the world has
.never relied rrpon,,for i defence. Hp: laid,
foundation for the organization of such a force,:
but.bafore the work could be accomplished, the
hue and cry of- narraw minded politicians had;
set' the judgment' of the country against the
terprise,'And the undertaking had to be abort
' cloned. Since then, howeirer, bat unforfunatily
only lately, great' ttention has been directed to
thiForgantiation of the'davalry branch'bt fid
service, The Government seems to have ilud i
denly awakened, to the importance of the work
accomplished by Cavalry ; work. , which: cannot
be equalled by either infantry or artillery. '
The recent caialrj raids by forces from botli ar
..
mitts, have aroused the apprehensiou of the people
living along the line of the operations of . either
army.' In . our own State, we are constantly
exposed to , danger, a danger which it is foolish
to disguise to tarrown vision,,as the rebels are
Tandliar with 'every vulnetable'point along ow
•
southern border. This border Must be protected
no w,,and such protection caabe,t be promoted
by the organiz 'don of a sufficient.cavalry force
to meet and repel invasion when: and whenever
it may be threatened. As to whether the State
or National Government should organize such
a force, is a question we will 'not discuss. Its
importance and necessity aloim interests wr—
its origin and expense being secondary consid'
orations. Perhaps when it, is too, late, an at
tempt at an organization for such a purpose will
he made ; until' It is too late, there can be
no harm by calling attention to the danger and
urging this organization for defeace, on those in
anthority. Soon immense harvests will be
.raid=o . _, • ll__:). the border counties of Maryland
our enemies to attempt the destnik
as for us to prepare for their preservation. The
desolation of fields and 'the destruction of
grausries, would be splendid achievements
with which to crown rebel raids into Pennsyl
wile. And when we reflect that these can
only be counterac red by efficient cavalrydemon
strations, it does seem strange that there should
•be any hesitation attending the immediate en
listment and disciplining -of such a force.
