§ COLONEL NORTHasked the Secretary of State for War, Why the Cavalry Regiments serving at home have not yet been completed to the establishment of Officers, although the non-commissioned Officers and men of the additional troop have been already raised?
§ MR. CARDWELL, in reply, said, the reason the augmentation vacancies had not been filled up was because, if filled up at this moment they would carry purchase rights, which he did not think would be proper under present circumstances.
