describes recent invention, of which we have
already heard:
The g wars, and rumors of wars' which en-
gross the thoughts of this trading and flibus-

inventive genius of America to degree likely
to effect revolution in revolutions, and extend
the American name to wherever s. fierce, fiery
warriors fight" Scarcely has the echo of the first
discharge of Sharpe's death. dealing rifle died
upon the ear, when another American invented
q gun of more than thrice its capacity as o
weapon of death. Mr.. J. W. Post, of this city,
has produced repeating rifle which can be
loaded and discharged with ease, thirty times
per minute. 1t has but one discharging bar
rel, and does not reyolve under the barrel is q
tube, which receives thirty well-shaped water
proof balls, each containing within itself the
powderiand percussion necessary for expulsion
The act of setting, or cooking the piece places

may be discharged in the most rapid succession
In late trial of its capacity, the gun was dis
charged ten times in ten seconds, and may be
fired surely thirty times per minute. From the
peculiar shape OF the ball, which is like that of
the Minnie rifle, this weapon is calculated for
long distance, as we'll as rapid firing.

in the same place:
The schooner Hornet, Capt. Haley, which left
this port for Big river, with provisions for the
mill at that place, in consequence of the Cap
tain not being acquainted with the harbor,
anchored in the wrong place. A short time
after dropping anchor, heavy swell came in

FROM OREGON Nothing further had been
heard from Capt. Kelly's command, and much
anxiety was felt in regard to their situation. 1t
will be remembered that when last heard from
they were on the march for Fort Walla-W alla,
which was in possession of the Indians. 1t was
said that the enemy numbered about 1000, and
were eager for combat with the whites at that
point. a
In the San Francisco Herald of the 9Th we
find the following:
By the arrival Of the Hudson Bay Co.
steamer Otter, Capt. Mowett, six days from
Vancouver, we learn that the Indians are daily
getting more daring in committing their deeds
Of murder. They are all we'll armed with guns,
rifles and revolvers, and in open day when there
is chance pick out their victims. There had
been nothing further heard as regards an en-.
gagement with them than what has been pre-.
viously received. The steamer Active, Capt
James S. Alden, with arms and ammunition
from this port, had arrived Goth of December
and with the supplies brought up by her the

WHAT RUSSIA GAINS BY THE CAPITULATIoN OF
KARs-The advantage gained by Russia in OBJ
tanning possession of Kars will, in great mea-
sure, compensate her for the loss of the Crimea
Russia, SO long as she holds this commanding
position, can control the great highway of trade
which finds its way overland from Trebizond to
Persia, and the countries of Central Asia be-
suffer from the embargo on her commerce and
the exhaustion of her war supplies. But the
capture of Kars enables her to divert the cur
rent Of European commerce through Turkey in
Central Asia, to channels across her own terri
tories; and thus, the pressure of her own trade
being neutralized, Russia can recuperate for
the war. And it is more than likely that Per-
STA, being commercially dependent upon Russia.
and disposed to lean in the same direction, may
be induced by that power to declare against
Turkey for the purpose of extending its do
