Some difficulty occurred at Chilicothe in

Some difficulty occurred at ChiIicothe in
this County last week between some mem
bers Of the 7th veteran Infantry and the
eopperheads of that region, which resulted
in the discontinue of the copperheads.
Quite number promised to vote for Lincoln
at the next election, and generally to demean
themselves as good and loyal citizens shot
The copperheads soon forgot their promises,
"made with mental reservations" A few
days after, in anticipation Of meeting the
soldiers again, they assembled at the mill
near Coinstock's to the number of some doz-
sn, armed withaxes and other extemporized
weapons, and were for making fight. Three
soldiers only were present. but this small
number sufficed to put to route the sneaks
who skedaddled up the Edlyvlle road some
miles or more, and were still running at
last accounts. One cause of the difficulty
was letter written about year ago by one
of the copperhsads to br other in the army,
advising him to desert. Members of the 81
Cavalry, We believe, were somehow mixed
up with this affair The parties concerned on
this occasion were mainly from Cass Town.

SCHLESWIG HOLSrEIN QUESTION
The death Of King Frederick the VII, Of
Denmark, which occrrrsi on NV. Is, 1853,
has brought on a crisis in the Schleswig
Holstein q ,estina. The two duchios of
Schlsswig aid H,lstein have never been in
tegral parts of Denmark. but they were in
depe ,dent dnchies, whose dukes hapoe I'D
to be 1t the same time kings Of ID ,nm ,rk -
In Denmark proper the crown of the m m
archy was transmiSstble to females: in the
two duchies the Salic law prevaile |, 7cc,ri-
ing to which the crown can orly descend to
heirs mile. In Consequences Of thi, differ
of the tw, duchiss with D.nm,rx hal to
cease with the death of King frederick the
Prince Of Aug,stenbarg b.in, the lawful
successor in the two duchies, AMI another
relative in Denmark. In order, however. to
secure the integrity Of the Danish monarchy,
a conference OF the great powers Of Europe,
held at London in 1852, AMI in which E,g-
land, France. Russia, Austria, Prussia and
Sweden took part, undertook to change the
law of success sion both in Denmark proper
and in the duchies, designating Prince Chris.
tan. the father of the princess Of Wales and
OF the now king of Greece, as ent tiled to sue.
cession for the whole monarchy. On the
death Of King Frederick, the Prince of Au
gusteuburg claimed the succession in the two
duchies, on the ground that the conference
Of London was not authorized to dispose of
his right, and the privileges Of the people Of
the two duchies-thst neither the Diets Of
the duchies nor the federal Diet Of Germany
had given their consent to the procatal Of
1852, and that it was therefore invalid. The
claims Of the prince were at once recognized
by numbe: of the German princes, and
sustained by tho German people generally.
The duchy Of Holstein Is exclusively in
habited by Germans, and is a part of the
German Coafederaey. In Schleswig about
l4e,5oo inhabitants are speaking German,
$4,000 Friesan, $4,000 Danish, and 81, 900
Danish aud German. Schleswig does not
belong to the German Confederacy, but by
virtue of treaties Is connected with Holstein.
The two dnchies together with the duchy
of Lauenburg) have population of 1,OO4,-
473 souls, while Denmark proper has ,6o0,.
