KEYTUcKY.-The Legislature Of this
State have adjourned efter session OF ten
weeks and three days, having passed the
act changing the election Of Electors OF
President and Vice President, from the
District 10 the General Ticket System
The election Is to be held on the first
Monday in November next, when each vo-
ter will vote for ii electors. The poll
books Of the counties are 10 be compared
in each county, on the 9Th day after the
commencement Of the election, and the
polls throughout the state are to be com
pared at Frankfort, OH the 18th day after
the CONNIE encement Of the election, and
the electors are to be furnished with GER
tificates, and meet at Frankfort to vote for
President and Vice President, Oh the first
Wednesday in December.
This law was introduced into, and car.
ried through the Legislature, by the friends
Of the National Administration. After
this conclusive evidence Of their belief in
our strength, we trust we shall see no
more vaporing claims set up in behalf OF
Gen. Jackson's chance of getting Ken.
Mr.. Clay's late address, and the result Of
the miserable farce, got up by the Jack
son men in the Senate of Kentucky, has
caused reaction Of sentiment, emnently

TOili Il ldlc lLDnuOu
Turkish Cdnnon.--It is singular that
in our conflicts with barbarians, or with
half disciplined troops, we generally sus-
tain a heavier loss than IN our battles with
veterans and well organized armies. Whe-
ther this arises from our contempt of the
enemy inducing us tn attack them at greet
or odds, or at closer quarters, or that such
foes are stimulated by the fierccr passions
OF funtamed natuio, we cannot determine,
but the fact is well worthy consideration
Our attack on Algiers was attended with
n loss nearly equal to any thing we had ey
er sustained on board Of n fleet; and, five
include the numbers killed on board Of the
Russian ships at Navarino, we shall find the
total number of killed and wounded to be
nearly as great as in any OF our battles last
war. With respect TO the Turks, this may
arise from the extremely heavy cannon
which they generally use. In our ships,
and, VIC believe, in our batteries, we seldom
use heavier gun than 81 FOUNDER. No
man Of war carries any cannon ofa larger
calibre, but the Turks make use Of 500
Founders. When Sir ]. Duckworth pas
sed the Dardaneles to attack Constantine
pie. in 1907. his fleet was dreadtully shat
tered by these immense shot.-The Royal
George was nearly sunk by only one shot,
which carried away her cut-water; anoth-
er cut the main mast of the V1RdsOr Gas
he nearly in two shot Knocked two ports
ofthe Thundersr into one the Repulse, ~,
had her wheel shot away and "a men xii.
led and wounded, by single shot, nor was
the ship saved by the most wonderful ex
ertions. One Of these guns was cast in
brass in the reign of Amurat it was com
posed Of two parts, joined by Il screw nj the .
chamber, its breech resting agalnsta mas
sy stone work; the difficulty of charging it
would not allow its being fred more than
once; but, as q Pacha once said, q single
discharge would destroy almost a whole
fleet of an enemy. The Baron dc Tott, to
the great terror ofthe Turks, resolved to
fire this gun. The shot weighed 100 ID.
and to load it took $50 lb. powder: he says,
" felt the shot like an earthquake at the
distance Of eight hundred fathoms. saw
the ball divide into three pieces, and these
fragments ofa rock crossed the Strait, and
on the mountains" The heay.
lest shot which struck our ship was of
granite, and weighed 5000 ID. and was two
feet two inches in diameter One ofthese
huge shot, to the astonishment of our tars,
stove in the whole larboard bow of the .4c-
iipe; and having thus crushed this immense
mass Of solid timber, the shot rolled
ponderously aft, and brought up against
the hatchway the crew standing aghast at
the singular spectacle. A few years ago,
party of English mdshipmen crawled in

Osrur DEATH OF OUR CoMMASDER-IS.C CnIEr.
Why swells the minute peal
And why those tears by lofty manhood shed'
The spirit Of the valiant one hath fled
lts home of clay, for ono where pain anddread

Go where the laurels bloom,
And ifa flower is there unfaded now,
Twinc il with teudris of the cypress bough,
And place the wreath around the victor brow,
Meet emblem Of his doom.
Where did tho warrior fall
Not where the hollow,war blast thundered by,
Not mid the ranks where rung the battle cry,
Not where the charger rear'd ais proud crest
high,
Where sung the deadly ball
Not on the battle ground,
Where slept the fallen on their cory bed,
Unhcoded by their friends or foeman's tread,
With broken plumes, and falchions dyed with
red,
And banners scattered round.
Beside his bod Of death,
Peaco sa. with olive branch within her hand,
With which sho ever and anon the victor
fann'd
As if she would recall life's hecting sand,
And stay his parting breath.
Around his couch Of pain,
The bitter tears of weeping kindred fell,
And s,iflsd groans we're heard, and sobs which
toll
The anguish deep to part from one loy d well,
Never to meet again.
