The Origin of Cincinnati. : s
In Parton'a history Of Cincinnati, ne find the !
following anecdote Of the origin Of that place:
.In December, 1888, fifteen Of twenty men !,
aoated down the Ohio among the masses Of NOV
ing ice, and landing upon the site Of CINCINNATI
built. cabins, and marked out a toMn. Matthias
Denman, of New Jersey, had bought eight thnn-35
dred acres of land there, at fifteen pence an acre.,
and this party of adventurers planted themselves
upon it with his, assistance and in his interest.
Jerseymen and Pennsyl ylyanians we're finding their
way down the Ohio, and founding settlements here
and there, whenever a sufficient number Of pion-:
eers could be gathered to defcnd
the Indians. President Washingt tom sent 'asfer
companies of troops for their protection, end the
great question was ahere1hose troepss should be-
posted. The Major in command WAS at: first dis
posed to establish them at North Bend; butsMhile
he was selecting place there for his fors, he fell
in With pair of brilliant black eyes, property
of one Of the settlers wives. He paid such assid
uous court to the lady, that her husband deemed
it best to remove his family to another settlement,
and pitched upon Cincinnati. The Major then be-
gan To doubt whether North Bend was thsproper
place for military work, and deemed it best to eI-
anime Cincinnati first. He was delighted with !
Cincinnati. he removed the troops thither, built
a fort, and thus rendered the neighborhood the.
safest spot below Pittsburg, This event was de-
cisye: Cincinnati took the lead of the Ohio towns
and kept it, .ss.s.s:=s
The True Spirit. ss:55s.
wetake the following from a paper in Missis-
sippi. Itis the true spirit, as he says, and we
could add, as these boys make crops. .though taxed
to pay thee1pcnses Of the war upon the: :Soath, $50
should NE the registry and the. ballot to- make
as good government as e.can,and GET beyord
the reach of congressional dictation: !:
Soon after the close Of one Of our best classical
schools, last spring, two Of the pupils, Eddie
Bswles, son Of Major Borfes, Of Lafay ette.county,
entered into on arYung cement to Lafayette and
cultivate a crop, Major Bowles furnishing the
land, ETC. We learn that these youths have worked
diligently and faithfully, and:hat their crop pros-
| ises rich return for the labor bestowed upon it
These boys though surrounded By the comforts and
lu1uries of life, were unwilling spend their time
idly, but went to work to make money and lay the
foundation of futnre weaKh and honoys. Such
boys are honor to their parents and our city:
There. are a nnmber Of aother boys and Young
men in. Holly Springs who would have eprofted:by
a like course If all such, large enough TO piow,
had gone on farms and worked industriously as
our young friends mentioned have done, how much
better it-woud have been for themselves, their
parents and the community. Parents are, in q
great measure,to blame for suffering their chis-
dren TO spend thsr time in idleness, instead Of
putting them to work. Ialeness isthe pest house
from which al the vices of youth spring:
The Dutch have taken Holland,
But the Radicals haven't taken Columbia says
the orangeburg Ne,os. We have been there ON a.
brief visit; and the great Union Republican Con-
venton, consisting of forty-nine negroes and six
teen white men, was in full blast The notorious
C. C. Bowen, having paid his wayrout of Castle
Pinckney with six hundred dollars, is one Of the.
sgreat guns" Of that GLORIOUS army of freedom
But there are still in the good old city men tried
and true, who "have not bowed the knee to Baal,"
and the proceedings Of the Radical conclaye are
viewed by respectable and intelligent people with
intense disgust. We will give further. information
of their sayings cad doing next week..
