“The magnificent successes of
the plan of campaign of Lord Rob-
‘erts must be ascribed in great part,
after full credit has been given for
careful and brilliant strategy, to the
extreme mobility.of the newly or-
ganized forces employed;. but - this

volves a great expenditure. in

stance, are nearly finished. He we
are to retain our advantage, there
must be an unstinted drawing upon
every possible source of supply
throughout the empire. * Otherwise
we shall soon be without sufficient
-horses of the suitable kind to fur-
nish the fecessary-remounts. The

done some marvellous marching,
