county was killed by his own son on Monday night
last. We learn that Mr.. Rutledge went home drunk
and compelled his wife, who was in bed sick TO get
up, and then commenced abusing her. His son
coming in, demonstrated with him against the
kill the whole of them, and turned on the son and
commenced beating him. In the scufle the son
fell, and while Rntledge was on him the son drew
his knife and inflicted the wounds which caused
Rutledge's death in few minutes after. Rutledge
got up, however, and holding on to his stick swore
that he would kill them ALL His wife caught hold
of him, and in q moment after he sank down and
died. These are the circumstances as we have
heard them detailed An inquest was held and a
verdict of justifable homicide rendered. The de-
cision being that he had killed his father in defense
Of himself and his mother.

Thus this newly patented Disunion scheme has

A LONG sHoT-A correspondent writes from
England:
A very remarkable and important trial Of most
formidable piece of armament has the last few
days been under experiment at Southport in Ian
cashire. Whitworth's breech loading rified cannon
is an improvement upon the Armstrong gun, of
very striking kind. On Wednesday and yesterday,
Is, u and Founders were tried, as also 10, So,
so 100 FOUNDER, as it will fire projectes Of those
respective weights. The results were very remark
able. The three FOUNDER, which looks more like
a telescope than a gun, has a bore of II inches,
and in length is feet inches With seven ounces
and half of powder it propelled its projectiles at
elevation of 10 degrees, All yards, 479 yards,
4224 yards and 4l22 yards. AT an elevation of 20
degrees the respective distances each shot de-
livered were $780, 1854, 6720 and 691O yards being
only two yards to the left of the true line. With
eight ounces of powder the distances achieved
were, at elevation of 35 degrees, 1910 yards %
yards left of true line, 1890 yards 10 yards of true
line 1850 yards and 9l64 yards, with but slight
deviation. The II FOUNDER field gun sent the ball
through the target at 1000 yards, and it buried
itself in the sand at $500 yards. The so FOUNDER.
which was not at its proper elevation, sent an SO
pound ball 5000 yards and when it obtains its pro-
per elevation, it will kill at 10000 yards. The
Founders will do the same. Six miles is the long
est range ever achieved, and the extraordinary
success of these experiments, it is supposed, will
create another revolution in cannon making.

THADpEus HYAIT BEFoRE THE SENATE. Under
date of the 9th, Washington correspondent Of
the Cincinnati Enquirer writes
Thaddeus Hyatt of Boston, the contumaeiotss
witness who has created SO much stir in the North
among the Black Republicans, was brought before
the Senate this morning for his defense.
Mr.. Hyatt was gotten up with great care and
although pale, appeared to be perfectly self pos
sessed. When asked what excuse he had to make
for not obeying the snsnmons Of the committee,
he produced a voluminous roll % manuscript,
which the Sergeant at Arms handed to the Secre-
tary to be read, but scarcely had the first page
been concluded before the reading was interrupt
ed, and debate sprung up, which may prove III
terminahe.
Mr.. Hyatt refuses to testify on the ground that
the Senate has no Constitutional power 10 compel
him to do so, and it is generally believed that this
for majority of the Senate appear TO be disposed
to retain him in custody until he complies with the
requirements of the committee.

A Paid Fire Department.
From Baltimore letter we extract the folIowin
in regard to the working Of the system Of pal

From Baltimore letter we extract the following
in regard to the working of the system Of paid
fire department in that city: El
The paid department works most admirably; no
noise, no confusion, no crowd, no fighting and from
the absence Of the excitement and rivalry OF the
old system, almost no incendiarism. One sees
steamer pass him at gallop, and the question is
hardly asked where is the fire ~ 1t is the bust
ness Of paid men, liable to be discharged on the
moment in case of misbehayior. To illustrate
how quietly the department operates, especially
late at night: know of gentleman who was
awakened in the night by the noise of steam, and
found that the steamengines were at work on
fire in the same block, and Immediately in the
OF his dwelling. On going around he found two
engines at work, and not more than fifty specta-
tors. One never. from one months end to another,
hears the cry of fire, nor, az used to be the case
the ringing, of every bell, from cow-bell to the
largest in the city.
Fires in buildings are crushed ont at once by
the enormous streams Of water, and particularly
by the steadness Of them, and as the engines
are judicously distributed through the city, no
fire has the chance Of gaining Roadway before one,
at least, of them has the water pouring over the
building.
Being under the absolute control Of our head
engineer, the water is stopped at once as soon as
in his judgment the necessity appears. The risk Of
destruction or damage to buildings has very ma
terialy been reduced. With reference to stocks of
merchandise liable to damage from water, the
Chief Engineer exercises as much discretion as
possible; but from the quantity thrown, even in
brief space of time, perishable stocks are much
damaged However, under the present system,
one has something to show Of the stock, when,
under the old regime nothing but ashes was left to
arbitrate about.
Do, by all means, haveyour system changed into
a paid one, for no one here would for moment be
willing to 60 back into the chaos of old yelling
fighting, inefficient volunteer system, even if the
present one cost double what it does. OF the
moral effect Of this change / need not say any.
thing The muscle which was mixed up in the old
system has merely changed its field of operation
and now exhibits itself in smashing up lager beer
shops and disreputable places
