COVINGTON NEWS.

MILITARY MovEMESTs.-The city was
aroused this morning before daylight, by
brass band playing "Yankee Doodle" tune
somewhat played out with few in our midst.
The regular tramp of soldiers soon revealed
the fact that the Fourteenth Ohio Regiment
had landed on Kentucky soil, and were
making their way to the railway depot.
Notwithstanding the unsessonably early
hour of their arrival, the troops were re-
ceived with many manifestations of welcome
by our citizens, who, from their windows,
waved theirgreetingsin in unmistakable earnest
ness. The Regiment proceeded TO the round-
house Of the Railroad Company, in the out
skirts Of the city, where they were bounti-
fully supplied with hot coffee, &C., by the
citizens in the vicinity. This Regiment was
at the battle of Cheat Mountain, in Western
Virginia, and many of the men wore trophies
which they had captured in that engage
ment. The destination of the Fourteenth
is unknown-suffice it TO say they go up the
Kentucky Central Railroad as soon as trans
portation can be provided.
The Thirty. fifth Ohio Regiment under the
command of Colonel Vanderver, came over
the river yesterday, and departed late in the
afternoon, Vid the Kentucky Central Railroad,
for the interior of the State.
