From the Richmond Examiner, Jan. 27.
“The Calvary.”
There are aome people who advocate a heavy
increase of the cavalry arm of the service.
They would make it outnumber, if possible,
all other description of troops. They appeal
to the good solid work of Morgan, Wheeler
and Forest of the west, and to the clever per
formances of Stuart in the east, iu proof of the
super-excellence of the mounted service. With
Morgan and Wheeler on their lips, they are
enthusiastic for cavalry. Inspired by a trans
porting patriotism, they plead for a vast in
crease of horsemen with the zeal of revival
preachers for converted sinners.
They show by their devotion to their one
idea that they have not been much in camp;
that they are unacquainted with the confeder
ate service; that they know very little of "the
calvary," and that they know even lest of the
feeling toward them cherished by the people
inhabiting the regions traversed by these
troops.
The country people have a propensity to
suit the orthography of words to the ideas as
annimlxtll wilhtKo iKinrra Mklnlt iUmi t..
tended to designate. They call a Cotswold
sheep a Scotch-wool sheep, having the idea
that Scotch wool is very long aud coarse. The
idea of a most horrible cruciflction is associat
ed in the pious mind with the name of Calva
ry; and inasmuch as the people and all they
have and own are literally crucified when the
mounted troops come about, in the simplicity
of the unlettered mind they confouud the
technical word designating these troops with
the most painful name in all the Scriptures.
A few special detachments of“our calvary”
have done great service; but if we leave out
of view the daring, heroic and individual ser
vices of these brigades, the rest have £ecu a
scourge to the people and a curse to the cause.
The expense of horse troops is enormous; it is
three limes as great to the treasury as that of
infantry; and the iufliction upon the people of
their rapacious and wanton depredations is
tenfold more than that suffered I torn any other
troops. There has not been a considerable
battle during the war in which the performan
ces of “our calvary” have marked any feature
of tbe engagement; aud in one of the chiefdu
ties of mounted troops, that of completing a
victory by running down and utterly destroy
ing a routed foe, their services have been be
low zero.
Tbe war has been remarkable in the fact
that it has been tought without that important
element of European armies, known as drag
oons. Extended level plains suited to the op
erations of these troops are few on our por
tion of tile continent- The heavy compact i
charge ol cavalry, at the critical moment
of battle, bearing down every tiling before it
aud deciding the fate of tbe day, has not lieen
witnessed in this war. Tbe surest indication
of imminent battle to the infantry soldier, im
patient for the conflict, U the order “cavalry
to the rear,” a movement which he witnesses
with shouts of derision and exuitatiou. We
have little cavalry in our service; few drag
oous, light or heavy; fewer still that fulfill the
technical idea and purpose of such troops.
When fighting is to be done, the cavalry are
ordered out of the way.
A faithful description of tbe general physi
ognomy of the “calvary,” as they are seen in
their camps and upon their strolling marches,
might bring a ghastly smile to the rigid lips
of tlie most impassible ascetic, provided he
were off at a safe distance; but the terror
which seizes the people on their approach is
overwhelming. They are usually armed with
every conceivable weapon of offense except
the saber of the real dragoon. They are as
igiioraul of the drill as of tbe saber practice.
They are comfoitably clad, but as unwashed
aud as unkempt as the urchins that play about
the wigwams in Nebraska. Tbe steeds are :
vunr-vuiuu, Duiuiru v> itu t
habitual mud, small and rickety, and iu the j
order which three rations a week of corn
supplied by the government, and as much
hay as can be bagged or wrested from the
farmers along their march, together with bard .
and reckless riding, may be supposed to pro
duce.
The sensations they create and the value of
service they render may be inferred from a j
single example. A body of Yankee horse
men lately made a raid from a distance of
several hundred miles into our lines, dashed ;
down upon one of our railroads, burnt some i
bridges, destroyed several miles of railroad,
and made their way back in no great haste.
They passed througii a certain village going
and coming, slopped a few hours each time, j
took a few horses, but had no time for other
depredations. The “calvary" went in pur- \
suit, did net catch the Yankees, slopped in
the same village, and stripped its owners re
morselessly of every blade of hay and fodder j
to be found, every bushel of corn they could
put their hands on, and even robbed the
smoke houses of their meat. The "calvary”
accomplish a great deal, but it is a deal of
mischiet; they perform a vast amount of ser
vice, but unhappily, as a general rule, it in
ures indirectly to the benefit of the enemy.
Their lack of economy is as deplorable as
their lack of drill and discipline, and a general
disbanding of at least two thirds of the. uu- I
nierous corps now in the field would be hailed
witli joy by all the people whom they claim to
protect.
There are a few brigades of splendid mount
ed troops lu the confederate service; but that
prodigious body of strolling horsemen who
lead au unsettled, gipsy life in the border
country, stealing here, robbing there, begging
in this place, and behaving little better iu
that; who are never heard of in the vicinity
of the enemy; who are always too late to
catch the Y ankees when in force, but are
dreadfully ferocious on all individuals ever so
loyal to the South, whom they choose to de
nounce as Union men, ami who are known
among the common people by the horrifying
appclation of the “calvary.” These troops
are a reproacli to the confederate service, a
curse to the cause against which they have
raised up thousands of enemies, a scourge to
our own people, and a desolation to large dis
tricts or wilderness country which, but for
them, would be producing crops (or the gen
eral support.
If the forage which lias been consumed,
stolen, ami wasted by these worse than use
less troops had been saved, if the farms which
they have desolated were still in cultivation,
and il the farmers, whom they have utterly
discouraged from producing crops, were still
busy in their blessed calling, an additional
amount of supplies would be raised over and
above what we now have, to support our en
tire armies in the Held; but as long as these
licensed plunderers are permitted to run riot
over the border country, where crops are most
needed for our armies, and which must con
tinue to be the cliiei theater of our military
operations, we shall not cease to hear of scarce
provisions, high prices of food, arbitrary im
pressments. desolated farms, and abandoned
homes and fields.
Instead of too few we have far too many
cavalry. Gen. Scott held the true idea, when
he discouraged the undue augmentation of this
service. Had the Yankees indulged in the
expensive luxury of horses and mules to the
extent that we have done in our service, their
exchequer would have been bankrupt In a year.
The sums of money which have been expend
ed in the purchase and support, of horses and
moles in the confederate service would be in
credible if stated. Our“calvary”have been the
great sink-pocket of the war. A brigade quar
termaster of one of our generals recently told
the writer that, he had purchased a great many
more horses for that particular command than
there were soldiers and teamsters belonging to
n , iimi wun me animal she had he could mount
every man and every teamster and servant in
the command, and a good many of them
would have a horse to lead beside.
It is this extravagance in horse flesh that
has produced the present scarcity of these an
imals, and raised their prices to the enormous
figures now ruling. Ordinary mules sold last
Saturday at the horse lot at from $350 to $500.
The mortality of government horses is fearful;
it is fully 50 percent, a year. The scarcity
and high price of draft animals produced by
the government demand will severely affect
the production of grain, and will much more
affect the supply of It, making the consump
tion of forage double what ilought to be. An
increase of “the calvary” force Is simply an
impossibility. If we have more cavalry, we
must consent to have, no more corn. The
question 6f cavalry is simply a question of
absolute ruin. But. happily, this service can
not be increased. The horses are not to be
had at practicable prices; and if they could
be they would have to starve for food.

efforts to restore health. It is purely rff Vegetable

TODD’S LUX SOLIS
HAIR DYE!
THE market has been flooded for rears with differ
ent article* called Hair Dves. which hare never
satisfied the expectations of purchasers. The si
plus ultra has been reached at last In TODD'S
HAIR DYE. and the article has given entire satis
faction to every person who has used It. It contains
no injurious ingredients, and gives the hair a beauti
ful rich brown or black color. Directions for using
—which are very simple—accompany each bottle.
One superiority of Todd’s Lux Softs Hair Dye over
all others is. you do not have to cleanse the hair or
wash it before or after using the dve. and there is but
one kind to be used, and that can be put on the same
as oil an«l water, without any trouble, unliko all oth
er dyes that have two or three different kinds to ba
applied every time used. This dye is peculiarly
adapted for coloring ladies' hair, because you do not
| have fo wash out the dye after putting it oh Unlike
I all other dyes, it will color long hair, which other
j dyes cannot do Give this new article a trial, as we
! know you will use no other after once using this.
