friends have recently purchased for his
army in Nicaragua, thus explains its eff
cheney and deadly instrumentality
In form it resembles small grindstone

by only two men. Every machine is cal
culated to destroy three regiments Of SOL
diers in the same space Of time. 1t can
be directed with the same ease as a CON.
mon rifle is handled.
The inventor, Yankee, is now in Eng.
land experimenting before the Admiralty,
and great many old Generals, OF all coun.
tries, who eviuce much interest, and have
written him letters expressive of their
wonder and establishment. One distin-
guished Polish General expresses himself
to the inventor, "thet as soon as this
deadly weapon becomes in use, wars and
rumors of war must cease" The gun.
or machine, discharges without report.
and sends the ballSthree times the dis.
tance Of the ordinary rife or cannon, as
the case may be. The British govern
ment has offered the inventor E9OO 900
sterling. if he can enlarge his machine to
discharge 81 pound shot. This he is
now doing. and informs his agent here he
shall ACCOMPLISH it. The Russian Minis
ter at London is anxious for the patent,
and has offered him his price !; but he says
to his friends, " mean no other nation
shall have it, but England, and my own
country"
Previous to his going to Europe. he Of.
fered the right to the American Govern
ment at Washington. Experiments were
made with one ounce and seven pound

reduce it to a little over sc. 900. 900. The
extreme length of the bridge. including
the abutment at each side. will be 1000
feet, or rather more than mile and

$50 feet, and the other spans each 243
feet wide. The height Of the centre Of
the bridge is 60 feet above the water lew
