THE ClSVoPoLIrE.-This is literary month
Iy, established in Baltimore by e. DeLeon X
Co. The first numbcr-for Jauuary-which is
now before us, gives promise of high excel
lcnco. The typographical execution is ncx-
ceptionahIe, and the literary performance much
above what We have ct late been accustomed TO
in the magazines Of this country. The editor
himselfiS a spirited and accomplished writer,
aud his contributors seem To have been selected
with unusual care. We were more particular
" struck with poem by lines Randolph,
which is published in the concluding portion OF
the number. We call it a poem, promising
that we rarely accord this name to collection
of verses, however smoothly rhymed or pretti-

THE HEALTH or Nix. DAyIS.-A correspondent of
the Baltimore Gd:ette, writing from Hampton, Jan.
10Th, says:
We hear occasionally some news OF Mr.. Davis,
aud some lately which is authentic. He has twice
been very sick within the past six weeks, suncrIn.
from erysipeas and at time was ut the point ol
death 81 near to it that he gave to his physician
many farewell messages TO his wife and family, aud
expressed a wish that the world might know through
him 1.-THE physciau) how pure aud disintercSied his
motives had been in all that he had undertaken;
rhs same physician has been removed from ms
place. and ordered elsewhere. 1t is presumed that
he showed tso much sympathy for hlS suffering pat
tient. The guard over Mr.. DayiS-always very
heavy, has been recently doubled and the officer,
who remains in the same room with him * not al
lowed To speak, read smoke or sleep during tue
tWrnty-fuur hours of hiS watch
The name of General Miles is not among the num-
bay OF general officers lately mustered out aud it ap-
pears that he will be retained To take charge of Mr
Davis, since he 50 literally carries out his instruc
tions from the Secretary of War.

BOLD RoBBERY.-Ab bad state of things
seems to be existing in several of the
eastern counties of Ohio. Bands of
highway robbers are becoming alarm
fngly frequent and bold in their depre-
dations. A'few days ago the house of
an old gentleman named Thompson,
near HarrisOnVIlle, on the road between
that place and Mount Pleasant, was
entered by a gang of outlaws, who
seized and bound the old gentleman
and his wife, and then proceeded toirob
the house, taking nearly thousand
dollars IN money and bonds. They es-
capped with their booty, and have not
yet been arrested. Last Saturday even
ing, Mr.. Stringer, living on Short
Creek, Ohio, was returning home from
Warren, when he Twas assaulted and
dragged from his horse, and robbed by
three highwaymen. He was struck on
the back of the the head with club,
and afterwards drugged with chloro-
form while his pockets were being
searched. BE says the. men who rob
bed him said they were returned sol
diers who had not been sufficiently
paid by the Government, and that they
had resorted to robbery for liyelt-
hood. .llf4g.
