made TO Governor Dennison to establish
military encsmpmeut near this city, by a
number of military gentlemen, who propose
TO raise q brigade of four regiments of
Iouave infantry, six squadrons of picked
cavalry and battery of eight guns Of riAed
artillery.
In the brigade organization, the officers
who constitute the Military Hoard of the
enoampment will follow the French system,
and select for the company and other officers
those known by actual drill and trial to be
most capable,l and in every respect best
qualified and adapted to the positions as
signed them.
Those only who possess agility, and are
good horsemen, will be placed in the cavalry
department of The service.
The orders of the encampment will abso-
lutely prohibit the use of intoxicating liquors,
card playing and all games of chance, and no
leave of absence will be permitted an officer
or soldier, except on military business.
As the regiments and companies are or
ganized, they may be Immediately sent to
the seat of war, if desired. 4
The drill will include the entire Zouave,
infantIy1and bayonet tactics.
THE MOUNTED BARBETTE GUNS.
The various earthworks designed for the
defense of the city in case of an attempted
invasion by the rebels, are now in very for
ward state, and several of them are entirely
completed. OF the twenty big guns recently
lying at the Barracks on Elm. street, fourteen
have been mounted, as follows; Three on
Prices Hill, one on Mount Adams, two at
what is called Fort Shaller, Immediately
back of Newport Cemetery; one at Three
mile Creek, three at the tunnel on the Ken
tucky Central Railroad, one at Beech Woods,
and three at Fort Mitchell, on the Lexington
turnpike. An effort is now being made by
Colonel Whittesey, under whose direction
hA fnrt horvn han al 81
secure for them lot of twelve pound howitz-
ers, and until this fails no more of the big
guns will be put in position.
CAMP KING.
Colonel Mundys Regiment is filling up,
and we doubt not before many weeks pass
over it will be complete. The situation of
| the camp is indeed picturesque, and well
worth visit. The Cincinnati Belle will
leave the foot of Lawrence. street every hour,
| tomorrow, for the camp.
AN IMPROVED TENT.
We were yesterday shown by the agent,
| W. R. Fullerton, a patent improved tent,
| which is well calculated to supersede all
others in use. 1t is termed the "Umbrella
tent" from the fact that on the center pole
| is an apparatus similar to the ferule and ribs
of an umbrella, the ribs, however, reaching
only one. third of the way down, and are
used after the tent is pitched to tighten it.
| The stakes are attached to ropes near the
sod cloth, and are surmounted with an iron
ferule, preventing the stakes from being lost
| and from being battered and broken. The
| center-pole is never taken from the canvas,
| the ferule and ribs of the umbrella part being
| constructed to let down so as to allow the
| canvas to fold around the pole. The tent,
| when pitched, allows men to stand erect in
| side, and its great cubic capacity for air and
| simplicity of ventilation renders it very
healthy. The tent can be seen at H. Nc
Birney's, on Vine-street, two doors below
| Pearl.
| TWENTIETH REGIMENT.
This regiment left Camp Dennison to-day
at twelve o'clock, for this city. The men
will be quartered at the City Barracks, on
Elm street.

ginia: ninety-seven horses and mules,

| balances.
KENTUCKY LADIES.
A Frankfort paper contains the following
about our troops;
The Indiana and Ohio troops, who have
passed through Frankfort, have been as.
saulted and pelted with bouquets and biscuits
by our ladies, in manner which showed q
determination on the part Of the beautiful
"little cusses" to conquer or die. We should
not be surprised to hear of the capture oi
many of those young gentlemen from ovel
the river while they are on this sacred soil. :
They may defy measles, secesh, smallpox, Of
any other mean thing, but when they NEE
battery of bright Kentucky eyes, ETC., they
will find it utterly impossible to obey thC
new-fangled order, to wit "To the righ
about, VithoW doubling, march |"
