From the Columbia Statesman, 10Th.
Union State Convention.

Some very intelligent and respectable
citizens of thisportion of the State have sent
us for publication the following call for
State Convention of the friends Of the
Federal Union. They are impressed with
with the importance Of wise and patriotic
counsels in the present alarming crisis OF
the country, and they call upon the friends
of our institutions---upon all who regard the
Union of these States as the palladium Of
our liberties, 10 meet and rebuke the fanatcal
spirit of Abolitionism and Modification, SO
dangerous TO our tranquility and inimical to
our rights. These citizens regard the wild,
erratic and lawless spirit Of fanaticism,
whether in the form of Abolitionism or
Notification, whether evidenced by open
violations of law or the adoption of "eXtra
legal means" for the redress Of wrongs, as
at war with the perpetuity of the govern
ment, and ifnot stayed by timely and prudent
counsel is likely 10 result in utter ship
wreck of the constitution. Is ii not time,
then that patriotic men of all parties, for
getting for the occasion the distinctions
hitherto dividing them, should rally around
the constitution and form an impregnable
union for the sake of the Union? Will not
Boone county second the suggestion made,
ard at some early day hold meeting to ap-
point delegates 10 the proposedUnion State
Convention?
lin view Of the alarming evidences Of
hostility TO the Federal Union, springing up
in different parts Of our country, we
earnestly suggest that the law-abiding and
conservative men OF our State hold Union
State Convention, at some suitable time to
be agreed upon, for the pupose Of averting
the calamities which a separation of the
States would bring upon us, and urging
the people of the North and the South to
| forbearance and moderation in their action
and opinions touching all questions OF vari-
ance between them.

Gun for Firing Chain Shot,

One patent was granted week before last to
Christopher Wolter. of Bridgeport, Conn.,, en-
bracng five claims, for guns to fire chain shot,
to which the attention of Lord Raglan was d-
rected The invention relates to the employ
ment Of two barrels, adjustable at different an
giles to one another for the purpose of firing
chain shot at various distances, to extend the
chain between the two shot without the dan
ger of breaking it, The firing of chain shotis
not of recent date, neither is the use of two
gun barrels set at different angles. each TO re-
ceive ball, and to have them connected to-
gether, but to accomplish this perfectly has
hitherto been impracticable. For example. a
chain shot fired out of double cannon-with
the barrels at q certain angle, to distend the
chain-snaps the chain when the distance rea-
ched goes beyond the certain angle for which
the barrels are set.-This improved cannon
embraces devices to regulate the angles Of the
barrels for any distance, so that the chain will
not he distended beyond the base line of the
angle when it reached the object. 1t is nten-
ded to sweep down whole ranks-a perfect
war moving machine.

The Cats Address to the Cook.

Oh, cook! my queen-my monarch OF the
Kitchen
Thine adominion which inspires my tongue;
witching--
1t rules the roast all other powers among!
What unctious richness from thy sceptre's
dripping.
What kindness swells, like gravy on thy face!
watch it smile when creamy toast thou'rt
dipping.
And love the tenderline that there | trace.
Oh. cook! my heart outpours in ardent purring,
And fain would action do for thy dear sake,
Zen though the fearful penalty mourning
OF martyrdom at yonder waiting steak!
My LAST fond thoughts on thy fat form would
linger,
My last desire would be to kiss thy graved
finger.
