A SWORD LOANED.

H. v. TAYLER, Esq, Auditor Of State,
before he came to this city was a Brigadiet
General Of tho .. v. NJ. Some two years
ago he was presented with sword by the
Tod Artillery company of Youngstown.
This sword hc has teudercd as loan to
Caqt. u. W, Hollingsworth Of the Mabo-
ming Rifles In his letter to Capt. H.,
MIR. Tayler says Of the sword: a..
at is properly the sword Of a captain
oil Infantry or Riacmen I send it to you,
not as a gift, but loan, to be restored 70
me when our National Goyesnment shall
have been thoroughly vindicated. and ev-
cry star in the Federal galaxy restored to
its proper position, and dnOt before.
81 promised that no dishonor should
come upon the gift. Although the prom
Use was voluntary, and when there was no
probability-apparently no possibility
that an occasion would arise in which its
sincerity might be tested, yet it was as de-
liberaetly made and with as firm convic-
tion that it would be kept, as though war
had been upon u. and duty required me To
participate in its dangers. 81. l,s,..b t
"Now, duty requires that | should re-
main where | am, in the discharge Of
trusts of no slight importance, especially
in times like these. 4 'r 5ds ia0.a1
The opinion | have of your ability,
courage aud patriotism, is more clearly ex-
pressed by the loan Of this sword, than by
any words could utter" "-'
Capt HollingswOrth has accepted the
loan, and saws: -5 rr sg .lel 10
The sword which you have presented
me, like the white plume of Murat shall
be foremost in the fight. and wherever it
leads or duty calls my men will follow.
elf it should he our lot to meet the con-
tending forces of the South and | should
be compelled by stern necessity of war, to
bite the dust, the last surviving man in
my company will return this sword to you,
without faint of cowardice tr dishonor.''
We doubt not it has been com aitted "a
worthy hauds. and will be used to uphold
the honor Of the American fas.-Ohio

Camp Dennison.
The Editor Of the Ohio, State journal

The Editor Of the Ohio, State Journal
says:
A visit to Camp Dennison day or two
ago, effaced many of uufavorable impress
ions we had formed of it. Its location, for
protection. facilities of transportation, room
and everything except perhaps lack Of
water in dry. and too great abundance of it
in wet weather, is most admirable.
The whole line Of barracks, for a mile
along thc'ruilroad, was alive with soldiers
drilling, and workmen finishing the un-
completed work. Ihe ground, soft and
muddy when the camp was first opened, is
n packed hard, and has become incapa-
bic of that degree of slushiness which SO
troubled the soldiers at FIRST. Tho Express
and Post Offices, Quartermaster's part
ment and indeed nearly all the convenien-
ces TO permanent camp, are completed.
The soldiers are now we'll fed and very
few were on the sick list perhaps not
over fifty out Of all the eight regiments
General Cox is very popular, and the
most experienced military men on the
ground say he is decidedly military" aud
an excellent officer. r.8so . ua.u
