 Gentlemen: The true democratic party is gaining ground in Bradley with great rapidity. Rust's ad- dress is laughed at by every sensible man. His cry of no danger to the South, when danger is inn minent, his Douglassm, and his egotism will not be sallowed by the people of Bradley. Mitchell and Johnson will carry this county.

A Bla CAsxoN.--The Pittsburg Post, of the Gath

and very difficult operation Of casting the largest
cannon ever made in the United States. It took
place on the 2Sd ult, at the Fort Pitt Iron Works,
Of which Messrs. KNAPP, Rudd 4 Co., are the pro-
prietors. Mr.. Charles KNAPP we have the pleasure
Of knowing Of old, and, from his peculiar energy
and skill are not surprised ut bis success in any
difficult enterprise.
The iron gun cast on the 2Sd nit, for the United
States Government, weighed over seventy thousand
pounds. The casting was fifty inches in diameter,
and nineteen feet four inches long. Seventy
eight thousand pounds ofiron were melted at the
same time, in three reverbatory air furnaces, the
melting occupied four and half hours after light
ing the ires. These furnaces we're tapped In sue
cession, and the glowing metal run through sepa'
rate channels into one reservoir, whence 1t passed
into the immense mould, placed vertically in PIT.
The mould, and iron flask supporting it, weighed
fifty-four thousand pounds, and when filled With
mo,ten n,etal--which was done in twenty -one min
utes--the total weight was one hundred and TWEEN
freight thousand pounds.
