The gallant Lieut.. Col. PAYNE arrived
here Yesterday from the Rio Grande in
the Western Cars with his Mexican
wounds and Mexican Trophies, on his
way to Washington, where, unless he is
a loco foco partizan, he will be kicked
aside like worn out shoe, as no longer
fit for use. Promotion depends upon
partizanship rather than service in the

E1otasoe Rot i'm Maryland.

The Hagerstown News, of the 18th
inst says
"The potatoe rot has made Its appear
ance Of this county. 1t is truly lamenta-
bic to see hills ofapparcntly fine potatoes
which upon examination turned out unfit
for any use whatever. II has been but
few days since the disease appeared,
up to which time the potatoe crops III all
situations appeared remarkably healthy
and promising. To what extent it pre-
walls we are as yet unable to say-but
presume that all potatoes situated in low
or wet ground have sunerad more or less,
as in such situations only has the disease
been observed.

THE GREATEsT Iron GUN EVER CAST
YET.-The Boston Post has an account
of a stupendous piece Of ordnance which
was cast at -Alger's Foundry, South Bos-
ton, on the afternoon of the 9Th inst,
which when finished, will exceed Captain
Stockton's celebrated "Peacemaker," by
5000 pounds in weight. The quantity
of metal used was about 10000 pounds
and the amount OF coal used in reducing
it to the requisite state Of fusion was eight
chaldrons.
The casting was done under the per-
sonai supervision Of Mr.. Alger and Col.
Bomford, the inventor of this piece OF
ordnance, to the first specimen Of which
Thomas Jefferson, in 1909, gave the name
of the columbian"
The weight Of the gun, when finished,
will be $4,000 lbs Length, 10 feet; di-
ametor at the base ring 80 inches; length
Of chamber, l3 inches; diameter OF cham
Der inches; length Of bore, #. inch;
diameter bore IL inches. Weight Of
round shot it will carry, 230 pounds;
weight Of shell, l80 pounds. Range of
shot or shell 81 miles-being / Of mile
greater than the recorded performance of
the largest rnd latest invented mortar in
England, and half a mile beyond the
reach of any gun in the castle Of San
Juan d'Ulloa, at Vera Cruz.
The cost of this immense instrument
for harbor defence will not exceed seVen-
teen hundred dollars; or one-sixth the
cost of the wrought iron gun procured in
England by Captain Stockton.

1t is now discovered to be true TO the
letter, that General Scott was right when
he declared that an army could not be
assembled on the Rio Grande before the
first Of September. Even Gen. Tayior's
army, strengthened as it has been by sew
eral thousand volunteers, is unprepared
for any active operation against Mexico
for the want Of wagons and other means
Of conveyance for the army. He has
been laying at Matanoras and the towns
about for more than two months. The
stupid dolts who sneered at General Scott
for declaring what time has''shown to be
true. will sec that a General who has seen
forty years service knows nearly as
much about organizing an army as men
do who never left their Gresidos. But
none Of his slanderers will ever show the
justice TO admit the gross wrong they did
him.-Lan. Union.
