70 The following extract of private letter from
gentleman in the State OF Georgia to New York
correspondent, expresses, we have no doubt, the
sentiments OF nine-tenths of the citizens of that
State. The remaining one-tenth-one-h -hundreth
would be more nearly correct-have learned their
lessons in politics from the chivalry school OF con-
tiguous State:
" So long as our Representatives at Washington
unite in opposition to the WiImot Proviso, and any
legislation in the District of Columbia in relation to
slavery, so long will the whole South stand BY
them; but in interposing objections to the admis-
sion OF California, they at divide the South 1t
is such trampling upon State rights, so at war
with all our principles and former declarations, that
it will not meet with general favor in this State
~ The assertion that the present state of things
has been brought about by Executive interference,
is the veriest nonsense that was ever uttered. A
few months residence there enables me to speak
knowingly upon that subject, and regard for truth
compels me to say not man in twenty could,
under any circumstances, be brought to tolerate
slavery, and had the whole power and patronage of
the Government been brought to bear in favor of
slavery it could not have secured half dozen votes
in the Convention"

ARREST OF AN Ex-HANGMAN.-Yeste a
notorious character, who has dozen aliases, but is
generally known Bill Sales, was arraigned, be-
fore Recorder Baldwin on the charge of robbing
gentleman on Sunday night about o'clock in
Tchouptoulas street. The witness did not appear
and an affidavit of vagrancy was made to hold the
accused until testimony can be collected. We un-
derstand that proceedings have been instituted in
Jefferson parish against the prisoner on similar
charge, which, if proven, will consign him to the
Pententiary for a long term Of years. Sales was
released from prison last spring for his services as

PATENT RIFLE.-A modest Prussian mechanic.
by the name Of Charles Hartung, now in New
York, has invented new style Of rife, known by
the name of Land Ladel, (dartng needle, which is
attracting much attention. 1t is impossible to
present scientific description of il without
engravings but we give our readers general
notion of its peculiarities. In the first place, il
loads at the breach. In the second place, it is dis
charged by "dartng needle" which pierces the
bottom Of the cartridge and ignites the powder BY
friction This is done inside, without any priming,
and as well in wet as in dry weather. Behind the
cartridge is an air chamber, in which expanded air
is used in propelling the ball The breach pin slides
in and out, and all together operates with curious
simplicity. 1t is said to carry ball eight hundred
yards effectively. The Scientific American states
that the guns were used by the Prussians in their
late war with Denmark with terrible effect, and
that all the Prussian light cavalry are to beequiped
with them. Mr.. Hartung has assigned his inven-
ton to Mr.. John B. Klein, who proposes TO sub
nit it to our Government for their patronage. A
competent board of commissioners will soon deter
mine whether the invention has all the merit which
its simplicity and ingenuity give promise Of.

NEW DAGUERREOrYPE DISCOVERY The Boston Transcript announces that Mr. Howes. daguerreotypc artist of that city has discovered a process by which an erlinary sized daguerreotype minia- turc picture can be magnifed to life size or larger. if necessary, and thrown upon a canvass or any flat surface, retaining at the same time all the clearness and de- tail of the daguerrcotype so that an ar- tist may sit himself before this magnified eaection and render it a perfect copy, in light and shade, as we'll as outlice, of the original. This discovery will facilitate the work of the portrait painter, and save a large amount of time consumed in sit- ting.
