-The Birmingham Journal says
that a Dr. Church, has made the inn
provement in cannon, so much desired
by us, whereby whole army may
be taken off its legs, without waiting
for the piece" to cool. A final trial
was made OH Friday Of two cannons
that have been prepared to be sent to
Woolwich. They were fired 80 times
with heavy charges Of powder and
ball with perfect success. No defect
in any respect could be pointed ont
by the best judges. Upon this plan
heavy ship guns can be loaded, and
fired, and brought into position by
two men five times in minute, and a
field piece eight times in minute
The gun heats very little.

The BALl.--As appointed, the
Ball 1t the Harvey House came Oft in
proper season. This intelligence would
have been fresher yesterday, but the
simple faot Of it's not appearing, is be-
cause our paper went to press before
the march struck up for the ladies to
70 in to the dance, go we could not in
justice to our own integrity describe
tho Ball at that time. Though We
hare frequently done the thing there's
no use Disgusting il now) we will not
again; because the next day after we

eral of our subscribers sent in letters
to stop the paper" over which we
have scarcely yet finished shedding
tears. The Ball came off. At the
appointed hour, the music struck up,
and played soul stirring airs on the
outside, which made many gentlemen
in the vicinity Of the Exchange feel
patriotic and they gave evidence
accordingly. At, about half past zine
the dancing commenced.
The company though not large
was select. When the Hall music
struck off, and the beautiful and
graceful Misses com'ueniced moving,
we stood entranced at the vision
and a thought of earlier ball days Of
the olden time, came over US.
Could we, aud should we say who
was the haudsomest young lady there
present ? No, it would not be proper
Each had seperate charms to make the
whole byou--a chT doeuyre Of
the master workman. Indeed there
was grace aud beauty then and there
present-bouyant with young life, and
penetrating the tender masculine
bosoms Were we forced to say-oD

certainly say it was Miss D, but
then there were two or three Miss
''D's" and half dozen Miss BIS

Young ladies will you excuse us for
this meagre account We shall do
so no more if you will The fact is,

IT, Night before last there was
another one of those strange freaks in
the weather, not accounted for except
BY Almanac makers" About twelve
o'clock, the wind took shift, and
brought Boreas down upon us, to take
possession Of the place, made vacant
by rtryactton. (If any Of the nu-
merous scientific readers of this paper
do not understand the meaning of this
word, we refer them to Eubanks). In
a few minutes after the wind come in
upon us, the thermometer went down

1t is fortunate for us that there is
now a small stoch of coal to be had at

a few days ago, we had occasion
to look into some Of the New Orleans
Courts, and seeing number Of hardly
used bibles Ton the outside) with
crosses on their covers. and brass
figures of the Savior Of Man thereon,
we naturally asked the cause of their
being SO placed, and how these marks
and figures acted upon the conscience
of the multitude. We were not
little surprised at being told by an in
tcihgent gentleman. that there is
certain class Of the multitude large,
jfnot respectable, who will swear to
anything, even their claims to citizen
ship, on the naked book; but tremble
and recant their perjury. when the
cross il visible. The same gentleman
tod us, that in the recent election in
New Orleans, at one Of the precincts.
where he acted as Judge; that hard
visaged fellows, would come up to
swear to citizenship, who when placing

the cross. would refuse to take the
oath. What it the cause of this.

This present body now holding forth
in the Gothic Structure, is the first
under the last Constitution. They
have commenced in a manner very
creditable to themselves, if lot to
their constituents; to get up another
volume Of ACTS to take the place of
the beautiful buck SO lately bound in
red Morocco, lasting monument to
the memory of the apostles Of the last
body politic--all potent, and traneen-
dentally, intelligent. The volume to
be made bids fair to he worthey of a

may be justly termed. "a continuation
Of the same history Of knavery, print
ed by the same great organ, Of pure
and uuadulterated democracy, and in
tended as heirloom, from this luoral
and virtuous age, for all posterity to

We have been vaiuly looking in
the proceedings for some pure pol
itician to get up and move, to "moye.'
Of move, the Capitol to some
other atmosphere, more congenial to
the health and taste Of modern law
makers and not being able to find any
such motion, we have come to the
conclusion that this body is inferior to
the last, in some particulars, if not all.
Tie Capitol should be moved. for
very many cogept and satisfactory
reasons. Ii the country knew what
they were, the country would never
object to it. The reasons are too many
to offer in short article, aud they can
not be condemned
Suffice it to say. That the people
themselves, .fofeiga, il not native,
have become SO degenerate and cor
rupt by bribery morally, socially,
aud politically that no place is fit

bawd' house, and this, our city Is not

latlre is sitting there, a quorum can be

sessions being limited to sixty days,
the gentlemen could not find so much
leisure as they do here, to burden the
state with such gross and meaning
less volume. as the last is, and the
present bids fair to be. We would
not then, have the time Of law making
