The Responsibility for Camp Dennison.


We publish some documents and extracts
in this paper which will doubtless give
most Of our readers .some information con-
cerning the conduct and responsibility Of
military affairs 10 Ohio. We think it will
surprise those who have heard the State
authorities attacked, day after day, for the
state Of affairs at Camp Dennison, from the
time when the troops were first ordered
there, some of them without shelter, and
with an incompetent commissary depart.

Of the attempt TO re-enlist the three months,

the first, including its location and equip
ment, been entirely under the command and
management Of the United States military
officers.


The readers Of the Gazette will remem-
Der that We have RETAINED from attacking
the State authorities for the condition Of
Camp Dennison. We have stated the dis
organization Of the troops, and given the
cause for it, which we stated was not the
fault of the Governor or any of the State
authorities; but after it had continued till
it threatened the total decentralization of the
troops, we called on the officers in command
to take some measurs to remedy the evil.


But on account of Gen McClellan's
double Office of State and United States
officer, and our double provision Of State
and United States troops, we were not
aware till now that the State authorities
had no control in Camp Dennson, and we
are little surprised that some one at Gel
umbus has not pointed this out before.


But it is still more surprising TO find that
officers and men, who have not only per.
milted all the clamor that was raised about
the state of affairs at the camp, the exposure
of the men, the insufficient supplies, the
water arrangements, the want Of arms and
equipments, the protracted delay in camp,
the dubious purchases of shoes and clothes,
by an officer in this city, and the thousand
other charges and suspicious, but have aided
in raising it and foisting food for it upon
credulous or INSCRIPTIONS camp newspaper

sible.


There has been deep game in this

Guilty in discovering, and which will prob
ably develop itself in time. Meanwhile W

party interest in making the Stale author

Preserrimg Butter.-A patent has
been secured by w. Clark, of London,

beaten in the usual manner after
churning, then placed between linen

1t is now completely enveloped Or
covered with clean white paper, which
is coted on both sides with prepar-
ton of the white of eggs, in which
fifteen grains of salt is used for each
egg. This prepared paper is first
dried, then heated before fire, Or
with hot iron, just prior to wrap
ping it round the butter. 1t is stated
that butter may be kept perfectly
sweet without any salt for two months,
when thus treated, if placed in a cool,
dry cellar. The submitting of butter
to pressure, as described, is a goo!
plan, and one which we recommend
to all our farmers. They can easily
practise it with a small cheese press.

sPIEITUAL INTELAGENoE.-Thatg ghost, or il
not that ghost, another ghost, still continues
his moonlight Aitting. he may now be
seen for a few night only, on or abOutPrOs-
pect street. It was on this street, night or
two since, that merry young gentleman,
accom- panied by two lovely ladies, was wend


ing his reluctant way homeward from aPar-
| ty, which he had attended in the neighbor-
hood, when in the midst Of lively and
interesting conversation, an unearthly, and
hideous groan was heard, proceeding directly
behind them. The young man is by no
means person to be frightened by ordinary
events but to be attacked by an incarnate
creature, in this off hand and familiar sort Of
style; to be morally squared of at, by an
object which it is an utter impossibility to
"puneh, /" or in otherwise, to maltreat; that
is altogether an other thing. It no won
der therefore that his voice was slightly
tremulous. when sustaining bis fainting
companions, he inquired his ghostship's plea
sure. A repetition Of the groan was the only
audible reply, but a shadoBy arm was ex-
tended, and a skeleton finger beckoned him
closer


This was too much. 1t was imposing on
good nature; it was taking advantage of for
tuitous cireumstances and so the merry
young man, and the two lovely young ladies
did, what probably most of us would have
done sooner: they lOoked-they turned
they fed. The ghost did not pursue II is
seldom indeed that they do, and therefore
nothing serious resulted, but it is probable
that certain young man, whenever he has
occasion after this, to return home about the
hour Of midnight, will take some other

THE EMPRESS EUGENIE.-It is not often
that the entire interest of "tae Court and
the town." la rUle ct Ia cour, as Madame de
Sevigne has it, should become centered on
one single subject, as is the case at the present
moment. A new idea curious, and certainly
more interesting than those founded upon
courtly doings in general-which, bound by
the ties and obligations of courtly life, are
for the most part all sketched upon the same
uniform plan-has occupied every circle of
Paris life for the last week. This concerns
the intended journey of the Empress to
Egypt, which has. as you we'll know, been
canvassed for long time, and has at length
assumed the proportions of a pilgrimage to
Jerusalem. The intention is so thoroughly
believed, that the details of the expedition
are already given. The names of the ladies
appointed to accompany her Majesty, and
those of the cheual5ers de serUice, all given,
and, according to the gossip of the Tuileries,
everything is arranged, and the period of de-
parture already fixed. But in no Court in
Europe could this plain statement be suffered
to get abroad without the embroidery and
decoration of the flowcry, ghly-cultivated
imaginations, which complain of being fenced
in by the thorny hedge of decorum which
the Emperor has been seeking ever since his
accession to the throne to plant around the
throne. These talkative gossips affirm that
the Empress, ever since the death of her
sster-an event now almost forgotten by all
but herself-has been struck by the folles
and vanities of this life. Arrived at the
acme of all human ambition, seated on the
first throne of Europe, she has become a
martyr to that mysterious and unaccountable
mental affection which causes the mind to
turn from the certainty of future woe. The
journey to England had no effect in dis
sipating this morbid state of feeling-but
the contrary. By an ordinary symptom of
the disease. the grief, amounting almost to
despair, which that sad event had occasioned,
has turned to the dark, religious terror
which sometimes sezes on the soul after
the experience of any violent shock like the
one alluded to. This state of feeling has
been increased-so goes the tale-by the
private correspondence which has been
carried on for some time past between her
Majesty and the Pope.-London Conrt

A union of hearts, souls and hands to preserve
our Government intact, and to strengthen the
efforts of those who are battling with domestic
traitors and tories, is required. All political
differences between men ought to be obliterated.
The antecedents of parties should be forgotten;
Union should be our watchword. In seeking
men to fill places of public trust and profit, the
only question should be, in addition to the old
Jefersonian requisite of sis he honest, is he ca
pable - "Is he devoted to the Constitution and
Laws, and will he aid with all the power God
has given him, the officers of the Government
in upholding them 7"


Believing these truths ought to prevail, and
that the time has fully arrived in which the
American people who love the Union should
unite together as one party, laying aside all po-
litcal feelings, bias and prejudices, for the pur
pose of quashing out treason wherever treason
may rear its head, we, the undersigned citizens
and voters in the county of Nevada, do hereby
soemnly pledge ourselves NOT TO VOTE FOR
THE NOMINEES OF ANY POLITICAL PARTY
WHICH UNDERTAKES TO KEEP UP DISTINCT
ORGANIZATION from the great American Union
party now in process of construction in our
State.


We believe that it is our first duty to establish
a Government upon enduring basis; that
after such Government shall be established, it
will be time enough to divide our belief into
parties upon the policy to be pursued by our
rulers; that until such Government is establish
ed, it is criminal-it is suicidal-for the friends
of the rights of man to self-government to divide
up into mere party factions, and thus enable the
enemies of our Government to obtain possession
of the archives of our State, and to found upon
the ruins of our now prosperous and happy con-
dition Pacific Republic.


We therefore pledge ourselves to the great
Union party of the State, and agree to send del
egates to the Union State Convention to be held
in Sacramento on the - day of -, for
the purpose of nominating ticket to be sup

How impo- tent then will be the voice of Arkansas, calling for convention of the States?- The naughty monarch commanding the tide of the ocean to recede did not occupy a more ridiculous position.

The repub- hcan leaders have too much at stake to en- certain such a proposition. On the other hand the seven seeding States would laugh at the simplicity of such proposition at this late day. Who will then be the inn beetle and shallow suggeSter of such reme- dy to the people of Arkansas? Who will meet the sneers of the people when they learn that this is the cheat practiccd upon them, and their just indignation when they witness the want of manliness and nerve in those whom they have trusted and honored?
