COLONEL KENNETTs REGIMENT.
"Colonel Kennett's Cavalry Regiment at
Camp Dennison, march to-day-to Ken.
lucky, we presume"
The above startling paragraph we find in
one of the Columbus papers, which we think
| will astonish the boys of that regiment. In
the first place, the regiment is not at Camp
| Dennison, and never was; in the second
| place, the regiment does not "march to-day"
and i'll the third place, the writer presumes a
wrong statement in toto, as the regiment does
not move to Kentucky. In short, this regi-
ment has been organized and quartered at
Camp Gurley, about six miles from our city =;
| IL is under marching ORDERS and expects to
leave camp tomorrow, en- route for General
| Fremonts division. The journey will be
| made overland, TO inure the boys to hardships
| and exposure, that when the regiment ar
rives it can be used instantly, if necessity
demands. Forty days will perhaps be re-
quired to make the connection.
FORTY EIGHTH REGIMENT.
The Forty eighth Regiment, Colonel Sui
livan, now numbers nearly six hundred men
TAYLOR GUARDS.
The Taylor Guards, composed of part Of
that company raised in Newport, KY, to
gether with the Pendleton Guards, from this
city, are now at Camp Dalton, three miles thi:
side of Paris, Ky. There are now in the
company eighty three men, commanded by
Captain Dalton and First Lieutenant Wright
both competent officers.
