The Annual Report OF she Directors and
Warden Of the Ohio Peniisnliury for ihe year
1851 is jus, issued. Thets are few items in
i worthy the auenliOn Of sober men. /. has
often been asserted that iniemperancs is the
great cause Of crime. This RepOn furnishes
some new testimony on this subject. The Re.
port states that 204 eonvicls have been received
into The Pennen,iury during The year. There
are thirty five crimes enumerated for the com
mission Of which these persons have been de.
Prved Of their liberty and separated from their
friends. But wha, is The character, and what
the habits Of these men ! This question is an.
swered in the report. or these 2O4 convicts 81
are moderate drinkers and iO6 are inlemperale.
il thus appears that i67 Of The persons lodged
in our Pen'en'iary the last year are persons ad.
diced 10 the use Of ardent spirits. The old
Proverb :-"When rum is in, win is Outy-has
evidently much truth in il. Where a man is
under The influence Of ardent spirits be is iI for
any deed Of darkness. But wha, has this 10 do
with tax payingl We shall see. The same
Report informs US that the costs for the prose.
cuton and IransponalioRof these convics have
been s26,s67.75 This expense is borne by
the tax payers Of The State. And the ciuzens
OF our own county pay their proportion Of this
cost, although there is not single convict from
Carroll county. The day in which The liqor
traffic in Ohio is destroyed will be day Of The
breaking of yOkes and The removing Of burdens.
Ii will be jubilee for The sons and daughters
of Ohio. May a bright Providence speed The

from The slavery of appetite, and when The criue,

AN IMPORTANT lMPoRvEMENT IN FIRE ARMS
P. W. PorIer, of Tennessee, has just invented
new gun which loads, primes and fires itself
forty times in minute, Il shoots with more
accuracy than any other gun, and drives its ball
with great deal more force than the ordinary
rife in consequence of the peculiarly with
which il is rfed. The machinery is simple,
and less liable to become deranged Than other
kinds Of FIRE arms. The invention can be ap-
piled TO all kinds Of small arms. The Tennes.
scans, who are good judges Of such matters,
have just adopted a resolution in their Legisla-
,urs, requesting The War Department 10 furnish
their SIaIe's quota Of fire arms of Mr.. Porter's
invention, and express the opinion that Con-
gress ought 10 procure from Mr.. Porter the right
TO manufacture his gun for the use Of the gov
ernment. From all of which il is to be infer.

essentially different from the many humbug i'm.
provemen,s that have been heralded abroad
