On our journey hither, with that atten-

us the improvements which have been made
along the line during the last few months.
New towns have sprung up all along the
road. Even the wilderness of the Black
Swamp is fast disappearing, Saw mills
have been erected at every station and are
surrounded with thousands of logs ready to
be sawed. We never saw so many saw logs
before. Lumber will be cheap next sum
mer. The people in the swamp have quit
hunting and gone to work, and they have
worked and do work, too, like beavers. The
new houses ana cleared helds attest to this
fact All the idle men in Southern Ohio can
here find profitable employment Wood,
slaves, hoop poles, and saw logs find a good
market on the railrood, and the timber is
here to pitch into. Now is the time for in

swamp, as land is cheap. No better land,
when drained can be found under the sun |

R@.Mr, Corwin, in his recent speech in
Congress, while talking against Douglas
doctrine, used the following remarkable
language. We quote from the Washington
letter Of the Ohio Statesman lie said:
Popular Sovereignty would make free
states, even in hot countries, on account of
the advantages of the North over the South,
in population and emigration, and he warn
ed Southern men, if they ever expected
slave States, they must 60 in for Congress
sonal legislation, which would make slavery
where it could proftably exist, and abandon
popular sovereignty, which would make of
all our present and future domain, free
Statesi
Mr.. COrwin is making reckless bids for
the Speakorship. Ho will out-bid the veri-
est pro'slavery man in the House; if neces-
sary he will advocate the renewal of the
slave trade.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Neglect of the Military during the Late
CaIabration


Mr.. EDITOR: Permit me, through your
columns, to call attention to fact connected
with the late celebration, which, in justice
to the parties in question, deserves to be
made public,
Probably the most interesting feature in
the celebration, and certainly that which
gave the greatest eclat to the affair, was the
very creditable parade made by the military
of our own city along with those OF Coving
ton and Dayton The officers and men of
our city companies went to great pains, and
incurred much personal expense, in paying
the usual h0nors to and in showing the
guests of our city that Cincinnati is not far
behind her sister cities in military spirit.
| The Covington companies, in like man.
ner, Joined with the Cincinnati companies,
and lelt as proud as ourselves of the grand
demonstration that reflected such credit on
the Queen City.
The escort OF the Dayton Regiment under
the command Of Col King, was on duty for
nearly three days and after arriving here
were, in all honor, the guests of the city
whose name their presence and fine soldier,
like appearance lent much to exalt.
And yet to their shame be it said that the
Committee of Arrangements, with a spirit Of
| illiberality, which among such men is hard
to account for, ignored the presence of the
officers of the Dayton Regiment and COving,
ton Companies, as we'll as the general OIL
GERS of our own city, with their staff, not
one Of whom received from the Committee
an Invitation to the banquet at the Burnet
House.
How is this2 The men Of the DAYTON
Regiment were permitted to return to Day-
ton at late hour without even the Door
compliment of a complimentary invitation
to our public places of amusement, which
were flooded with persons utterly unworthy
of such compliment
The officers were not even asked to part
ticipate in any of the festivities, and must
have gone away in disgust with the shabby
exhibition Of Cincinnati hospitality as rep.
resented by the Committee or arrangements,
and which, when compared with tho atten.
ton paid them in Columbus, will by no
means add TO our own credit or that OF the
city. Our citizens subscribed largely and
generously but those who were lucky enough
with few cxceptions) to have procured free
tickets, belonged to that class which is in.
separately connected with railroad excur,
sions, &c, and whose presence is never miss.
ed whenever and wherever "Catawba7 and
"Old Bourbon" is free and plenty.
1t may have been an oversight but il was
most unfortunate exhibition of bad taste
which for the sake of the character Of our
city we trust will not again occur. At all
events, We hope the military of our city will
learn from experience that their presence
on such occasions will depend in future on
the character and complexion Of those in
whose hands is reposed the discretion Of
treating them with ordinary respect, or en-
tirely overlooking their claims and services

ANOTHER CASE OF FRAlLrx-In n few
days another case of frailty is to be intro
duced to gossiping circles in New Orleans,
through the proceedings Of the Courts, The
parties are all highly respectable. As rela'
ted to the st, Louis Republican, the case is
this:
a young lady, who had lived almost from
childhood in the family Of an elder sister,
was united few days ago to Young man
Of this city, who it seems before the honey-
moon began to wane, found reason to sus.
pect a criminal intimacy between the bride
and her brother in law. Investigation con-
yinced him of the fact, and we'll directed
accusation and cross examination extorted
from his wife a confession TO the effect that
an illicit connection had existed between
them for long time, such soandalous par,
ticnlars being detailed as left no room to
doubt her statements. In consequence the
husbsnd has fled petition for divorce; so
also has the wife Of the leading villain in
the drama, and the latter has been expelled

IsrT Tnur2-we were told that our Cover

IslT TRUEH-We were told that our Governor
Sir William Dennison, is as good poet as his
Phonetcal namesake, Sir William Tennyson.
We doubted it, but were then told that he
writes love songs and religious stanzas for "his
colored friends" and that his effusions are
generally adopted among the "free an indeA
pendent" negro dominions in the West Indies.
Among others we were shown as an "orieinal
pome," by Sir W. D., the following:
De Lord him lubs de niger well,
Him knows de niger by de smell;
Aud when de nigger children cry,
De Lord he gibs dem possum pie.
AS the Governor is "strong" in using words
ending in "um," we incline to suspect him as
the author from the "possum" in the "pome."
