TATNALL's TREASON.
The Boston Transcript says that during
the summer of 1860, Commodore Tatnall, the
reported commander at Port Royal, visited
Boston, and while there he improved the OPP
portunity to call upon venerable friend and
fellow commander of the navy, Captain p,
OF d. They had not met for years. The past
ard present were rehearsed. The fountains
of sacred memories were stirred, and they
laughed and wept together. On taking
leave of his friend, Tatnall remarked: 81
shall see you again, p, next summer" BE.
fore next summer old Jack will be in his
grave" was the earnest and touching reply.
Before that summer came, at the first tap of
the Secession drum, the oath of allegiance to
traitors had been pronounced by the lips, if
not by the heart, of Tatnall. When news of
this came to the ears of his old friend in the
North, he exclaimed: "Would to God old
Jack had been in his grave before hearing
such tidIngs as this" A few days brought
letter from his old friend, Tatnall, closing
| with these words: " little thought when |
last saw you, my dear P , that my old tried
friend and | were to serve under different
| fisgs-but the politicians would have it So"
| Old Jack sat down awhile amazed, scornful
and vexed. IA traitor to his fag"-"the
| politicians would have it so''-"Poor Tat
nall" Then rising resolutely from his chair,
he continued: He was a noble fellow-but
I'd hang him, dearly as love him. Yes, I'd
send him to the yaId-arm if the devil stood
there to catch him."
| GUNS AND GUN-cARRIAGEs FOR WASHINGTON.
| A considerable amount of field artillery is
| now going forward for the use of the Army
| of the Potomac. Within day or two past
| a full battery of Wards steel rifed cannon,
in every respect prepared for the field, be
sides quite number of carriages, have been
| sent tIom this city. To-day another lot is
| to be shipped at Pier No. 2, North River, and
for some time to come the large quantity of
artillery field carriages which has recently
been manufacturing by John Stephenson, Of
| this city, and on which three hundred men
have been employed, will be dispatched to
Washington as fast as they are needed.
Some of these carriages were manufactured
for the State of New York, but it is under
stood that if the exigencies of the service
require they will be lent to the General Gov
eminent. Nearly the whole number of car
risges, both for the State and the Govern
ment, were intended for the Parrot rifled
gun, and comprise some of the finest field
service ever manufactured in any country
Nt'c York Erening Post, 18Th.
The controversy on the merit of the
Armstrong guns continues to rage in Eng
land. The gun is said to be too delicate
machine for the rough work of a campaign.
If the vent pegs are left loose they blow out,
and if fixed they shatter in pieces. At some
recent trials, too, the muzzes blew off, and
there is general tendency to rapid fracture
The lead with which the projectiles are cov-
cred also strips of, and is dangerous fact
which diminishes the value of the gun when
firing at enemies over friends.
