The Wnr Forces.

An intelligent letter-writer for the Balti-
more San, we'll posted in European affairs,
thinks that the alliance of Austria with Eng
land and France makes up fearful odds to
Russian supremacy. The population of Great
Britain and Ireland is in the neighborbood OF
thirty millions. France has thirty-five mill
ions, And Austria thirty-eigh millions
Here, then, over hundred and ten millions
of people are arrayed against seventy mill
ions of Russians.
II Prussia joins the allies the odds will be
still more fearful, indeed, so great that the
dismemberment Of Russia may be serious ly
contemplated The eighteen or twenty
millions of Germans not comprised within
Austria and Prussia are known to be anti.
Russian to the bone. Austria can easily
raise 100000 troops, and Prussia, without
the Landtoehrd, 200, 900; France 400 900 and
England 100000. We must not forget,
moreover, that these troops are all disposable,
while Russia requires large portion of her
army as a constabulary force, the army per-
forming the whole service Of poliece through
out the empire.

BABEUM's LfFE. The autobiography of
Barnum is slieiting from the press Of the
whole country, with only here und there IN
exception, the condemnation and censure
which oughtto follow a confession 90 shame
less Of life so full of shame. II is issued
in better style than the Newgate Calender,
but in all other respects, should be classed
with that. Honesty is the best policy"
has stood as a truthful maxim for ages; but
Barnun thought diferently-and so also do
thieves, highwaymen and pick-pock-ets-
and he now sends forth his shameless confess
sions, made for love Of money to corrupt
the minds Of the young, by showing how
successful shameless liar &Rd systematic
stoindLer may become. The book should be
driven from every honest freside, and receive
the execration of every father who would in
culcate principle of honesty in his sons
II this last scheme Of money making is sue.
cessful, we may next expect Barnum to put
to press in guilt and Turkey morocco, the con-
fessions Of wantons and women of the pave,
for his present book is Of that character sole
ly. Its object is to gild life of lying-to
elevate vice and decoy virtue. 1t is high
time.

STARK BANK, BENNINGTON, VT.-We learn
from large stakeholder in this bank that
the affairs of the institution look exceeding.
ly bad. 1t has upwards of $4,000 locked
up in the debts ofsuspended Ohio banks, and
$4,000 is kept close in Vermont railroad.
The bank was broke through the suspension
of the Ohio banks. Its circulation is about
100000, and we fear the sssests will be
found somewhat minus. We are now nay
ing but 40 cents on the dollar for the bills.
Reporter, Dec. 80.
The fate of the funds "lockcd up in the
debts of suspended Ohio banks,' reveals
one Of the "t'icks Of trade" and affords a
beautiful commentary uHon the banking sys-
TEN. The Stark Bank forwarded its notes
TO the Canal B INK OF Cleveland, for circu-
lation in this State, and the latter institu-
ton, it seems, by wny of rcdccming its prom
ise to furnish "home currency" put them
in circulation, but forgot IL make due return
10 its Vermount cousin. Perhaps a few
more of the New England. banks would like
to be accommodated in like manner. Who's

Convention OF the Ohio Editorial
-..'.r a-.. ASSOciAIjOH.

The UNDERSIGNED, the Committee Of
Arrangements, appointed by the Convention
which met in Cincinnati, January 10th 1854,
respectfully notify their Brethren of the
Press, throughout the State, that arrange
inants are nearly complete, for the Conven-
ton which was appointed to meet in this
city, on the 18th OF January next. ....
- The Committee have thought it best to
insue .ie call for 10th and 18th days of jan
unry, hoping that those editors who expect
to- be present will make it convenient to
reach our city, not later than the evening Of
the 10Th. Il is expected that much busi-
ness, of an important nature. will come be-
fore the Convention, for the due consider
alton Of which, less than two full days would
probably be insufficient.
~ The Anniversary exercises-consisting of
an Essay on the History of the Press, an
Grafton, Poem stc.-will take place on the
evening of the 10th; the Banquet, on the
evening of the nth. The Committee are
not vet able to announce the names of the
speakers, etc; but due notice will be given
before the, meeting of the Association.
On behalf of the Editors of this city, the
Committee cordially invite the fraternity
throughout the StRte, and from adjoining
States, to be present on the occasion.

The ARIsroCRACY AT THE RIMEA.-The
Gar has sent his two sons t. the camp to
give inspiration to the operations there. On
the other hand the C;imate appears to be un-
favorable to the royal blood of France and
England. Prince Napoleon left the bad air
of the battle field sometime ago and is iadis-
posed at Constnntinople. The Duke of Cam
bridge, uncle to the Queen, had quarrellcd
with Lord Raglan, and made this pretence
for returning home to England, The smell
ofgunpowder, on the whole, does not appear
to be very successful in curing the ailments

yyhat is "A Mimic Rife!

The Cleveland Herald answers this ques-
ton as follows:
The barrel OF rifle has, running the
length of its inner surface, spiral grooves or
channels-hence the name of rifle, which
means rifed or grooved gun. The object
of riRed barrel is to give greater precision
to the ball, by communicating to ito it a
rotary motion. This motion it receives on
its passage out of the gun, provided the
ball is so crowded into the barrel as to fill
up partially or entirely the grooves; and the
more perfectly the ball fits into the barrel
the truer its course, and the less toindage
there is; that is, the less space is there be-
tween the barrel and ball for the strength OF
the powder to escape. 1t is estimated that
when the windage is only l-20th Of the cal
ibre of the gun, third of the powder es-
capes, aud Of course its strength is lost.
The bali is oblong, with conical point
In its base it has conical hollow running
half or two thirds the length of the BALI
A cup made of sheet iron is placed in the
orifice Of this hollow, which at the instant
of firing is driven by the powder with great
force into the ball, thus spreading it open,
so as in its course out, to perfectly slug or
fill the grooven barrel. This accomplishes
the whole object, it saves time in ramming,
it destroys windage, thus economising in
powder, and makes the ball perfectly fit the
barrel, SO as to give the ball complete ro-
tary motion and certainty Of direction
Thus the mimic mprovements-taking its
name from a French officer named Mimic
is mimic ball, not MIME rifle. The con-
ical shape of the bullet gives it greater
weight of metal than round one, affords
less resistance to the air, and greatly in
creases the. distant it can be thrown. This
shaped ball, however, has been used for a
long time, by sportsmcn.
The present popularity, Of the rife owes
its origin to the skill of American sharp
shooters, bred and trained in our new settle
ments, and who in our Iadian and other
wars have shown the efficiency of the rifle
ball picking of officers, gunners, and prom
inent objects, but its perfection, we imag-
line, has been accomplished in the hands q
the French. ,iaeFi sa ss

Tencher., Convention.

One Of the most interesting addresses
thus far made before the State. Teachers
Association, now in session in this city, was
given yesterday, ct three o'clock p. NJ, BY
Mr.. c. M. Cady, Of the Ns'O York MEsiesl
Revie,O, on vocal music. The audience was
large, intelligent and highly aPpreciative,
being made up Of the teachers, educators
and literati Of our State. Throughout the
address, the most profound attention was Civ
en-, interrupted only by bursts of applause,
which, al the conclusion. rose to quite a
storm. Ii was quite different from, and we
think superior to, the addresses usually made
on this subject, mainly from the fact that
the speaker eschewed the rodomontade and
poetical moOnshine usually connected with
this subject, and confined himself to the dis
cussiOn of the practical questions 1t presents.
This was, moreover, ably done.
After analyzing piece of music, and
showing the audience the mechanical means
employed by the composer in the express
of his ideas, he proceeded to show that these
mechanical means were inadequate to move
mems souls, in the following passage, which
we give for the benefit ofour singers:
at yet remains for US to breathe into it
the breath of life-to kindle in its eye the
light OF intelligence, and put upon its tongue
a divine eloqnence that shall move mems
souls. Doyou ask how this can be done!-
The answer is simple-so Uery simple, it
were pity that singers should not more
generally understand and appreciate it, it is
this, be imbibed trith the sentiment of tohat you
sing. Do sing in praise Of the bounding
sea, must fancy myself upon its heaving
pillows and be filled with the spirit of it's
wild, joyous freedom. Do | sing of war,
my heart, must be filled with the spirit Of
hate and carnage, while Glory, with her
6ckle glare, leads men on amid CORY fal-
chions, booming .cannons and the shouts Of
victory. Do sing to the praise of wine,
must, in more than one sense, be imbued
with the spirit o! wine. Do | sing of love,
ina gination brings to my side the oneI hold
most tear; feel her soft hand upon my
brow; her eyes, 50 full of earnestness and
truth, are searching the depths Of my own,
and the rapture of my throbbing heart finds
vent in song. Do sing to the praise Of
God, of his holiness and purity, my soul
must be touched with love for that hol-
ness and purity. If 'm thus impressed
with the sentiment of whi,h | sing, shall |
ever take solemn words upon my tongue
with any other than spirit Of profound rev.
erencc for sacred things! Never, never"
Mr.sCadJ then went or TO speak Of the
province o. music as tile language of senti.
ment, emotion anu passion, and concluded
with an eloquent and puGS@cnt plea Tor It's
introduction into our common s"hoois as
means of securing the popular musica. edu-
cation of our people.--EEqujrer.
