It is veritably a pouring time with US.
Every day about q thousand troops pour in,
cad when they don't pour in either the rain
or the sunshine pours down in a manner
disagreeable in the extreme, to men in tents
or on marches. The usefulness Of "Have-
lockE,p whether Of white linen or glazed
cloth; or Of oiled silk, is each day demon
strated, Let your good women of the
Queen City zee 10 il that all the Cincinnati
troops have those white linen Havelocks
They are invaluable. If they be made Of
oiled silk instead of linen they will resist
the rain, but are not SO e%ffectual against the
sun.
H oUR OHIO REGIMENTS.
A week or more ago Colonel John Sher-
man left Washington for Philadelphia where,
two of our Ohio regiments are stationed,
and promised to be back with the bows in 4
day or two. But neither he nor they have
come. And now l hear that they will soon
see service at Norfolk. Meanwhile they
have opportunity for drill and get used 70
camp life.
SOMETHING Is GOING TO HAPPEN
And soon tool have the best authority
for saying this. The Government has a def
mite plan of operations upon which il is pro
eeeding. II is moving rather slowly in somC
things, but on the whole il is vigorous an6
pushing. General Scott, though somewhat
enfeebled physically by age, is in this matter
more than q host. His mind is 30 compre-
hsnsive that ii grasps the pettiest details
and lets nothing slip. Persons who
converse with him come away filed with
wonder at his almost omniscience Of military
matters. A gentleman well-known by repu.
tation to all your readers, and personally tC
many of them, who had shared in the North.

had yesterday a conversation with Genera
Scott, and told me after the interview wa
over that the plan, whose details General s
had laid before him, would as inevitably
crush the Rebels, as the Anaconda would it
victim after it had coiled around it. o
course, he did not tell me what General Scot
had told him, but he did mention the time
when the first blow would probably bC
struck, and that time isnot distant from the
present by many hours.

General Butler. This was necessary in or

A detachment were ordered to take certain

The M~assachusettsian replied, 1--WE ar

AT this iuncture one of the civic magis

A CINCINNATI SPY.
Kane is a violent Secessionist, land respon
sible, in a great measure, for the riot of tn
10th ult. An example should be made {
him. General Butler is determined to han
the Winanses. He has sent scouts out ate
them in every direction, and it was reportet
here yesterday that he had caught them an

them forthwith as traitors.
Apropos Of traitors. Do you remembt
