TUNE" To 1nGcreon IN Heaven"
Der the forest-crown'd hills, the rich vallies and
streams,
OF lovely Columbia, oppression prevailed
But fr'd by the glow of bright Lbcrty's beams,
Her sons flew to arnnS, and the demon assail'd
And tho long in fight,
He resisted their might;
Their rrowess at length, put his legions to fight,
And never, no never, by us shall be stand
The iaurels our Fathers SO glorious gain'd.
The olive -crown'd goddess then smiling appear'd
And sweet Independence shed blessings a.
round
When loud in the west, the dread war-whoop
was heard,
Where iAurdcrous chiefs on Columbia frown'd;
Again as her shield,
Her sons took the field
Nor left It till forc'd was each savage to Weld
And never, no never, by-us shall be stand
The laurels our Brothers so gioriously gain'd
Now peace again smild, and the blough & the .aH.
Abundance of wealth to Columbia brought,

To ruin her empire seductcely sought
But vain were its arts
For the patriot hearts,

INTERESTING EXPERIMENT &.

Rumours having been busily prvpagated of
late, respecting the goodness of the musauets,
made at the 2A.iiTioury, the Executive
! Council determined to resort to a most deci-
sivc experiment, to see whether they had a.
ny real foundation. At their request, COM
mite of impartial and honorable gentlemen,
most of whom had been old revolutionary SOL
diers, and well vcrsed in the temper of arms,
repaired to the Armouri last week, to make
these experiments. The committee consis-
ted Of Gen. Wood Coils Gamble and Car
rington, and Majors Gibbun, Scott, Amber
and Writ. Five days were devoted to this
operation. The experiments were made up
OH the barrels OF the British tower guns. the
! French. Wheeler's Of Culpepper, Haslet's.
McCormick's and Miles's Cthree factories of
Philadelphia 90 of each 1; and likewise on
20 of each years fabric of the Virginia Ar
moury; that is, those of 1902, 3.4,5 6,7,8.
All these sorts of arms were submitted to
two successive proofs.
| Various other experiments were instituted
upon other arms to test the results of previous
experiments, which had been made at Nor
| folk under the superintcndence Of Mr.. Atker-
ton. AS tar as the present experiments could
be assimilated to them in the intensity of the
proof, their results correspondent with the ex
pectatIons OF every one present. This pro-
cess was too severe. Of 10 of the celebrated
British lower guns, not less than FIVE gave
way.
Observations we're also made upon tl,c
| component parts or the arms and upon the
swords, Ssc
The committee will sooa report the results
or their experiments TO the council, by whom
they will be submitted to the people. In full
confidence, that these gentlemen will do am
pie justice to the subject, we shall forbeaf
entering into a more particular account of
these interesting experiments. Bat we are
satisfied, that the arms which have for some
time been made at the Va. Armoury, are e.
quail ifnot superior TO the bestin this or anv
other country and that this distinguished
Institution, the ornament and pride of Vir
ginia, will hereafter stand OH higher ground
than ever.
Cshzsn Cheefh1m seems rapidly irnpro-
wing in the honorable career of defamation
and intrigue, which he has lately trod. Mark
the low article & unblushing elIfontery of the
following tale This man has boldly and UNI
blnshinsly asserted, that " the state OF New
York is an eye-sole at the South that Ger
tain men OF Virginia tremb for their ascen-
idancy that already is New-York divided
INTO tIoo states upon paper; that in Mr. Ma
dison's desk it is now divided and that is
the leading men in Virginia can succeed in
this pernicious scheme, N. York will be re-
duced III her consequence, and Virginia do
miniOn be established forever"
Has this miserable calumniator forgotten,
that it IS really the interest of Virginia 70 ire
@Uent, instead of promoting the division oil
states because in proportion as you in !
crease the number of states, you decrease
the weight of her influence in the Senate oil
the United States Does he not perceive, |
that his miserable tale proves too much

that BY his lately holding up the idea
that the differences with England
