Butternuts, we put out double guards, issued
ten rounds Of cartridges to each man and slept

out, the boys are much chsgrined this morn

to rescue the conspirators, would end in many
Of the Copperheads getting hurt, and they
will not probably undertake the job, although
they have blowed and threatened to do so
time and again, and many of them are mean

The thirty dollars reward offered for the re-
coVsry of deserters, makes the market the
most brisk in The city. Some are picked up
daily, and are locked up in Kemper barracks,

The greatest pride of Cincinnati is her
schools. OF these, there are many Of the first |
class, all largely attended by the youth of
both sexes. From to 9 o'clock in the
morning the streets are a perfect jam Of chill
dren, going to school, all rosy checked and
sunny eyed, with large sachels well stuffed
with books, on their arms. Every school has
a gymnasium or some other place of recrea-
tion connected with it, where the children can
have pleanty of exercise. This is as it should
be; WeuId that the people of Deleware would
follow this noble example. ..tqo-m- 5a.s. d
