Col. Hunt, the Quarter-Master, exerting himself to
the utmost to procure good transports and enable the
volunteers to reach the seat of at the earliest pos
sibe moment The necessity for their presence with
the army is clearly pcrceptble. The Talma arrived
yesterday, having on board three companies Of the
Mississippi volunteers, completing the regiment from
that State. The Steamboats, Homer and James Hewitt
also arrived from Louisville yesterday, having board
the Third Regiment of Indiana Volunteers, under the
command of Col. Joseph Lane and Major German.

From the fact that opened our columns to a Vhig
who felt not only inclined to vote against the General
but also to assist in defeating him, because of his
former reachery to his party and the best thereof
he has made illiberal snecring, ungcntlemanly and
false charges against US. And we certainly would
advise him, after being elfectuay used uP by
whom he charges as being young man and then
having falsehood after falseood branded on his fore

community can boast, by this same competitor, young

own party friends so Disguised by the details to
openly leave him in squads we say, we would advise
him to leave the field at
The General, we were very well aware, was Sc
lected by the wings at this peculiar crisis, for his
known cunning and aptitude for trickery of all and
erery kind He once tricked his wing friends by
being Tyler man, and getting Office as his re-
ward. But we did not expect him 10 descend TO
abuse, SANDER and falsehood. He may be elected
but if he is, the people may look out for breakers
for he will find, try to find, 'scapcgoat for his

Acknowledging the rivalry between Utica and
Rochester, N. Y, gentleman merchant from the lat
ter place was travelling through Oneida county. Be-
ing of humorous turn on passing Dutch dwelling
where a stove heating, which was situated
out of DOORS at one side of the house, he felt disposed
to hoax its inhabitants. He called out,
"Hallo, the house! halo, the house,"
Out came the Dutchman, the Dutclman's wife, the
Dutchman's daughters. He observed to them,
"Your ovens on fire.
They all flew swiftly around the corner Of the
house, and the merchant rode on, enjoying the joke
short time since, the same gentleman was travel
ling to the cast, in gig; the roads were uncommony
muddy. He was about passing the same farm house,
but he had forgotten the place, when a young lad
came running towards him with great anxiety dcpc-
ten in his counenance:
"Sir," said he, your wheel is loose"
The man Immediately stopped got out into the mud
and looked at the wheel, when the boy exclaimed,
"The other Wheel sir"
Around he waded through the mud, filled his pumps
with water and mire, examined the lynch-pIn there
and says to the boy,

"Why | thought twas LOOSE said the lad, 81

THE GREATEST Iron GUN EVER CAST YEI.-Yes-
terday afternoon another supendous piece of ordnance
was cast at Ayers Foundry, South Boston, which,
when finished will exceed Capt Stocktons celebrated
" Peacemaker" by 5000 pounds in weight. The
arrangements for the operation commenced in
the morning, by filling the furnaces with metal and
firing up. The quantity of metal used was $4,000
pounds and the amount of coal used In reducing it
to the requisite state Of fusion waseight chadrons
At six o'clock, p. NJ, repeated experiments having
been made with it in small quantities, the metal
pronounced to be in fit condition for use, and the
grand operation of casting commenced. The two
furnaces tapped, and the boiling and blazing
LIQUID gushed FORTH rushing and leaping through the
iron canals, which emptied into the sides of the
mould sunk twelve feet into the solid ground The
flaming streams continued to for fifteen minutes
down through the iron flask, or shell of the mould
the metal in the meantime bubbling and revolving as
it rose in the inner shaft of sand which in fact formed
the actual mould for the The metal having
reached the top of the mould, supplementary cap
mould was put on and filled with some tons of metal,
poured into it from crane lade.
The object of this addition is to give, by means Of
dead weight above steadness to the process of chrys
talizaton in that portion of the out of which
the is to be turned. Ten days will elapse be-
| fore the metal will have become sufficiently cool to
admit of the removal Of the flask, by digging away
the compact ground in which it stands embedded, and
then in the space Of five weeks the gun be finished
and got ready for mounting on Fort George in our
harbor, for which it is designed.
The casting done under the personal supervi-
sion of Mr. Alger and Col. Bomford, the inventor OF
this species of ordnance, to the first specimen OF
which Thomas Jefferson, in 1909, gave the name Of
the 90 Columbiad."
