Intense excitemeisT exists in consequence
of rumorsstbgf the rebels are marching on
Washington. S~Gdvices to this effect have
been Eecef%ed at the War Department, but
they ave not relied upon. Gen. Scott says
he is not afraid of any advance of the re-
F5els. No apprehensioas are felt that the

demonstration against Washington.

FREDERICK, June l3-A returned Balti-
morean, from Harper's Ferry, informs me
that the number Of troops there has been
under estimated Additional numbers were
arriving by every train, and they were so
distributed that their presence could scarce
ly be detected fifteen minutes after their
arrival The probability is that they are for
warded to other points. They have an
abundance Of artillery, which is SO posted
as, in his estimation, to render the place
impregnable. 1000 thousand troops were
expected there to-day and tomorrow. A
Baltimore regiment is encamped at Bolivar,
armed with Tennessee rifles. The Kentuck-
ians are regarded with general suspicion,
and are generally disliked, and are in al
most mutiny. Provisions are abundant,
and the strictest discipline is enforced. The
Baltimore City Guards are stationed at
Suffolk, near Portsmouth. The Maryland
Heights are 20 be abandoned.

nine inches in diameter at the breach. Its

RANGE OF CoLCMBIAD SHELL GUNs.-The fur
thest range of a hundred pound shell, even at
an elevation OF thirty five degrees given to the
gun, is 4,s2S yards; the time of flight being
thirty-five seconds. The great tWelYe-inch
Columhiad, the largest gun made. loaded with
twenty-five pounds of powder, shell of H.
pounds and the piece at an elevation of thirty
i've degrees, has made q range of only 5,409
yards, the projectile occupying thirty-two Sc
conds i'll its flight, by increasing the elevation
to thlrty-nine degrees only loo yards more was
gained in The range. From the same gun,
with 4 charge OF powder twenty eight pounds
a shell of $50 pounds and IN elevation Of
thirty-fVe degrees, a range of 5,61l yards has
b3en attained, ana at an elevation OF thirty
nine degrees q range of 5,76l yards three and
a third miles, which is the greatest that has
ever been accomplished by any gun in our ser
vice. The flight occupied thirty-siX seconds
Charleston is, therefore, perfectly safe from
the guns of Fort Sumter. II it We're even
within the farthest range of those guns, the
angle OF elevation necessary 10 accomplish
such q distance is SO extreme that to hit the
city would be a matter of extreme uncertain
ty. The guns OF Fort Sumter can only be
raised to an elevation OF thirty three degrees
on account OF the caSemates, and consequently
could do no damage beyond about two miles
and q half
A ten-inch Columbiad, at an elevation of
thirty three degrees will throw a shell a bout
three miles. There are no such guns in bar
bette at Fort Sumter, and if there are any
casemate guns OF that calibre, no such eleya-
ton could be had The upper surface Of the
gun would strike against the top of the en-
brasure at an elevation far short of thirty
three degrees.

season, some places Were suffering severely

among the poor country people was a conse-

2d OF December, the Emperor's birth day, was
celebrated with great rejocings, Te Deums,
&c, all over the empire. The nntavorable

he work, though at present suspended, will
doubtless be resumed when the weather be-
comes settled. Competent mill ,ary authori-
ties have come to the conclusion, warranted
by all recent battles on the continent of Eu-
rope, that the era of smooth bored field artil-
Iery has passed away. II so, the adoption
OF riled cannon for siege and garrison service
cannot be remote. The State arsenals are
amply supplied with field pieces, but the
Commissioners for purchasing arms found
four hoWitZers only and no rified cannon
Killed cannon are necessary in these squally
times, and no doubt ere long our State author
tiles VIII have a supply made or recast in the
requisite mould those of smooth bore already
on hand. The howitZers in use by the Rich
mond company were made by Capt Dahl
green, whose name has become famous in
connection with q much larger arm of the
service. They are II Founders in calibre, bu.
weigh only half as much as an ordinary six
pound field-piece. They are pieces of short
range, but at any reasonable distance one of
the guns Is capable of doing much execu-
ton as whole company of Infantry. BY
the way, one of the Richmond howitzers is
rified. This piece, with half pound of pow
der, at an elevation of Is degrees, has q range
of two miles, and il is thought that a range
OF i've thousand yards may be attained. At
one thousand yards it can pat nearly all OF its
shells III target II feet square. Besides the
riiled howitZer, the State owns dozen 9TH
ers of similar make, all recently purchased.
