DESTRUCTIVE WAR ENGINE.-We mentioned some
time since that two of ingenious citizens, Messrs
Wright and Gould, had completed the model of
rotary cannon which could be fired at the rate of
sixty rounds per minute. Since that announcement
the inventors have been engaged in having construct
ed working model of the gun, which is now fin
ished, and was tested yesterday afternoon in va
cant building on Washington street. The piece is
beautiful little brass gun of the usual shape, mount
ed on wheels, and SO constructed that rotary cyl
inder constitutes the breech, which contains four
charges, replenished by means of hopper, and
fired as rapidly as a man work an ordinary lever
backward and forward. The piece is discharged by
electricity. and from this results an important and
valuable discovery, which was developed after the
completion of the piece. By means of the battery
and wires connecting with the cylinder by which
ignition is caused the cylinder become perfectly cleo
trised which keeps it cool as if continually bathed
with ice. Some two hundred rounds were fred yes
erday in rapid succession at the rate of about thirty
rounds per minute. at the end of which time with
out using the swab once, the breech much cold
er than when the firing commenced The rapidity
Of the firing much retarded by the bad quality
of the cartridge in use, but such as it was it was
sufficient to demonstrate the complete success of the
invention We understand that as soon as arrange
ments completed the inventors will proceed to
Washington and lay their plans before the Govern
ment-Bntal0 Express, 23rd.

counts of the discussion between Messrs. Ellis and
McRae at Wadesborough. A friend who heard them
at Rockingham, writes that Judge Ellis "fuly met
the expectations of his friends "-in fact, he adds,
" he exceeded their expectations" But one pro-
fessed Democrat in Richmond will vote for Mr.. Nc
Rae. He will get no Democratic votes in Anson !;
while Judge Ellis will post certainly receive some
opposition votes in the two Counties. Mr.. McRae,
so far from gaining in that quarter, will fall behind
