the employees and all who have the interests |
of our country at heart to devote a few |
hours daily in drilling and perfecting them
selves in military discipline, to be ready at a
moments notice to meet any invading foe. |
The move, we think, i5 good, and will no
doubt prove successful. Il
CINCINNATI ARTILLERY.
Within the past few days twenty barbette
guns-twelve Of them thirty Founders and
posted in the Orphan Asylum Lot. They
are from Pittsburg, and are complete
throughout, being furnished with carriages
and ammunition. There is also q battery of
six rifled guns, furnished and equipped, ready
for immediate action, if necessary. These
guns are designed for home defense, and look
quite formidable.
GOING INTO CAMP.
The Rover Guards and Mcclellan Rifles
now quartered in the old Orphan Asylum
Building, go to Camp Dennison on Tuesday
next. Both companies are nearly full and
are composed of good material. They are to
be attached to the Fifty-second Regiment.
This regiment is based upon good and satis-
factory principles. All the field officers will
be elected by the men, thus securing them
the advantage of procuring competent Off
GERS.

cheerful aspect. Squads Of volunteers are
arriving daily for the different companies
