CAVALRY TACTICS.-We have several orders on hand for this work, which will be out in a few days, and we trust our patrons will not be inconvenienced by the unavoidable delay we have been subjected to. To make the work complete for Cavalry drill, we have had to add "The Organization of Cavalry," which makes several additional pages, but no time will now be lost in dispatching all the orders we have on hand.
