PATRIoT1sM.-A memorial paying for
compromise was presented to the U. S.
Senate last week signed by fourteen thou
sand women, all from the border States.
The memorial was enclosed in blue silk
bag, ornamented with fine needle work,
while the signatures, in a delicate female
hand, presented an irresistible demand for
peace. In presenting the memorial, SEN
ator Crittenden compared the appeal with
that Of the Sabine women at Rome, who
rushed in between the contending hosts
and restored peace by pcaceably disarm-

very great number of superior guns at the
present moment
OF the two cannons, the Armstrong or the
French rifed, we believe the latter to be the
most serviceable and the must tn be relied on.
On land, in a wooded country like the United
States, the French gun will carry as far as
there is any need for, and it is simpler, more
readily understood, and less liable to derange-
ment, than the Armstrong gun. Aud then,
they have made so many of them in France,
that they have arrived at perfection in their
construction.
But the war cloud is again rising on the side
of Hungary, and so sure as Hungary com.
mences, so sure will Italy make rush upon
Ven"ia. In that case the exterior trade in
arms would cease, The great manufa tories
of arms in Belgium are now working up to
their utmost capacity at the most approved
forms OF war male rial, and it is from this
source that the agents of the United States
will be most likely 10 obtain the needed arms.
The effect OF both the French and English
rif1ed cannon is so terribly destructive, even at
long distances, that whichever side can bring
into action the most of these, will be sure to
win the battle. 1t may be added that in
France the small field pieces, especially
twelves, are preferred, as rendering the most
Sc vice for all occasions. But very few large
& rs are cast, as being TOO costly and too trou-
blesome to move about. The manufacturers
of Liege, in Belgium, cast guns ON all the
French models.
The French government, anxious always to
e informed on all subjects Of International
importance before adopting its line Of conduct,
has sent to the United States an agent, NJ. de
Ruupel, to take run through the states and
draw up an impartial report on what he sees.

Eastern, and it is expected will not be absent
