Congress having resolved to have This great
mystery examined, and a report made as to
what is necessary to complete it, the sugges-
tion ecems to be good one that it be put to
the test at cncc, to determine its power Of
resisting the shot Of sifled cannon. Twenty
years. time a1d $780, Of the public money
have been exhausted upon this enterprise; 1t
il still unn1:;Ehed, and as profound mystery
as ever. Before another $SC0, 900 shall be laid
cut upon It. The country would like 10 know
whether the thing be not alrcadya huge 1ail.
ure, ard II it he not, then how long ne must
wait for complete results. The experiments
Of the Euglish and French governments have
ereated the graTcst doubts Of the power oi
nlail.clnd steamers to resist projectilcs from
the Armstrong gun They are undoubtedly
superior to "woodcn walls" but if not com
I!ete'y iayn!ncaablc half their value is lost.
Before another riyet is c,enched in the
Stevens steam battery, the force Of Tow
Ar1netrorg guns should be directed against It,
10 ascertain whether it is as xesistable as has
btc1 reported. Better lose what has been
already eauk in this tedious and costly expert.
nent than th1ow more money away in com.
l2ctirg her, II, after all, shc is not to be worth
much. At all events, this very mysterious
production has been long enough on our
Lands. Is it to remain boxed up cut Of sight,

under cemmasd Of Captain Richards OF Com

giving the boys ataste OF such adventures its
cnlr ether result, worthy Of mention, was to
exbsbit tic stars sad stripes to numerous
frightened women wlo had never seen It be-

to certain very Ignorant men who knew very
lille what The performance meant. No bodies

dents seemed yet to bear allegiance to Cover

Herewith. The nearest rebel camp was some
90 miles further on, southwest, where 20o0
mtn were reported to be concentrated under
Gen. Watkins. Another scouting party Of
three companies under Capt. F. 1 Ba!ter5on
Of Joliet, was still cut, on the 24th.
The Goth regiment is in excellent condition,
having lees tkan twenty on the sick LIST, and
but three or four Of these arc bad cases. The

Wise's balloon went up this morning, and
when between Fort Corcoran and Balls Cross.
it vas seen to collapse suddenly and fali with
crest rapidity. The general fmpressTon il
that @ It was fred into: Our reporter was at
Fort Corcoran at the time, and witnessed the
eWift descent Of the balloon. It mas too fur oil
to ascertain how many were in the car, but Ii
Is feared that their escape from sudden and
terrible death was Impossible.
Ihe balloon was up yesterday, aud could be
seen from the city sailing over Virginia. It
rested during the night, and went up aeaIn
ta16 morning, md WINS but short time IN The
air before it collapsed, leaving only small
section Of the top filled with gas.
The danger Of accident from shot viii ever
operate as serious objection to the use Of
balloons over the enemy's grounds; for on
going near enough to obtain view of their
Worke, the balloon is within reach of three
AID four mile cannon, which, without auv
trouble, can be so suspended as to point up-
ward or In any direction required. The fifIed
cannon Of the Second Rhode Island Battery
threw shot four miles, and to be of apy ser
vice d balloon cannot be ne.1lalf Of that dis
lance from the spot to be examined. Even at
an elevation Of q mile no baIl0oniat conld
have discovered the batteries at BnIl,s Ran
INT not discovering them, he might, report
that no such defences existed there The BALI
Icon may, however, be used with great al..
vantage, In noting the advance of troops on

TIE ARMY WoRM.-Ihe appearance OF this
plague simultaneously in several portions Of
the country affords an opportunity to critical
minds for comparison with the plaques of
Egypt TINT preceded the deliyerance Of the
Israelites. In the Vest, numerous localities
arc reported to have been deyasted by them.
They have also appeared at the East, prlncl.
pa1)y along the coast from New London
around to Cape Cod. There, where such .
visitation is unusual, the greatest consterna
tion has been aroused. The New Londopers
did not seem to know what to do. The ue1y
worms ate mp every green thing, except clo-
yer. They swar1ned the streets by millions.
Everywhere the sidewalks we're blotched and
dis1gured where they had been trodden under
foot. Only by closing doors and windows
could they bekept ont; and where these ap.
proaches could not be sealed against them,
not even the most constant sweeping aTai1ed
to keep them clear. The post ot1lce and scne
other buildings we're literally covered outside.
The p]aguc lasted several days, but long
enough to destroy the fields and to wear out
the patience Of the people.
