MANUFACTURES OF RIFLED CANNON AT
PITTSRURG.

The iounderies a, Pittsburg are turning out ri
fed cannon with great rapidity. correspon-
dent of The Cincinnati Gazette gives an ipteres-
ting account of the progress OF the work, from
which we copy the following:
:" Piles of shell and round shot. frem the huge
lJ.inch TO the tiny grape and canister, lay
around the room in one OF these factories, being
packed ready for shipment almost before they
are cool. In the machine shop adjoining, huge
i0inch Columbad is revolving a lathe, while
some twenty seigc howitzers and the short, ket.
tied shaped mortars are being bored and turned.
Here the great Rodman gun was cast, and anoth-
or lS-iuch monster is soon to be coStructed.-
Com. Dahlgren has sent on an order for a large
number of his heavy and ll-inch ships guns,
and within the past two weeks, they are begin
ing to rifle the columbiads on hand. During TIE
present week, over twenty heavy guns have
been sent TO 81. Louis beside large quantities OF
shot and she'll, and this morning. as | am writing,
the United States Ordnance officers have gone
out to the proving grounds with ten large s-inch
howitz rs that are be sent Immediately to Gen.
| Fremont at ST. Louis.
"Messrs. Knap, Rudd < Co., employ large
number of hands night and day, in order to com

TRAINING ARTILLERY HORSES.

The Fortress Monroe correspondent OF &c y.
Y. Commercial Advertiser says:
1t requires considerable time TO mount She
guns properly for an advancing army to supply
them with trained horses and especially the right
kind of harness. The horse is n curious, shy
inquisitive animal, and when first taken from the
stable or pasture, for the strategic purposes OF
war, demands to be handled with great care and
patience. He must be gradually accustomed TO
the sudden and marked change in his s'at,ss--
the CLEAN of arms ths roll of drums, the 6aun:-
ing Of banners, the flash, the smoke and the roar
of cannon. 1t is remarkable, however, thit
when the practical war horse is thus drilled and
disciplined, his proficiency in Wheeling with guns
and caissons at the critical moment of limbcring
and unlmbering light artillery, is wonderful
Without a word, without touch. without sign
from man, he wheels, advances and retreats with
| almost miraculous rapidity-at times compelling
| riders and gnpners to spring to keep their saddles
to escape his lightning like evolu.ions.
Such war-hOrses as these are intended 10 be,
have been practicing before the window of yoG'
correspondent, on the parade ground OF the ior
| tress, this morning. Some few of the more re
cent cemers reared and sprang little at the
| first flashes and thunder of the cannon, Will,
others stood as firm as the adjacent trees anC
locked on as calmly AS if they were feeding from
a rack. At the close of the firing some of then
were marched to the muZzle OF the still hot ar
smoking gun, and made to put their nostrils clos
to the metal, feel the heat, and iEbale the smel
of the powder. They are thus taught to becom
on familiar terms with their new and strange &C
quantance and feOw-soder, to measure hi
length with their eyes, and feel that his touch
at their riders command, is rendered harmless
