The EFFECT OF SHoT ON VEssELs.-A shot does
not make a hole of its own size right through the
wood, but indents it, the fbres springing back
after the shock. Generally, the course of shot
can only be traced by q wire. sometimes a hole
rs large as a mans finger, The damage most Of
ten happens in the inside Cfa vessel in splinter
ing aud breaking the wood aftcr the main force of
the sho. was spent. Forts Hamilton and Rich
mond, WHICH are about a mile apart with a yes
sell lying between them, could not, with their
guns send a shot through two feet of its timbers.
There is rarely an instance where e ship was
sunk by a solid shot. Hot shots and shells do
ths mischief. The latter will sometimes make
a%pOrtures Of several feet in extent through the
sides Of the vessels.

FROM WASHINGTON.

New YoRk, April Is.
Citizens Of Maryland and Virginia are positive
in their protestasions that there is. not the slight
est design on the part Of those States to invade
the Federal capital. They are probably not ad-
vised of the purposes of JEFF. Davis and ether
disunionists.
Gen. Beauregard is reported to have arrived at
Richmond on. Monday, and was believed to be re-
connoitering in the neighborhood Of Washington,
In the furtherance of their plans, the secession
authorities yesterday ordered Major Tilgman, COM
mander of the militia Of the eastern shore, to take
possession Of the Chesapeake and Delaware canals.
This doubtless looks to the destruction of that
work, az q means of transit for troops,
The Union men of Cecil comfy were endeavor-
ing last night to eGecti measures to protect the

occurred, in a work called tho Partisan Leader"

who was killed by the bursting of the Peacema-

was professed that coming events were described.
The Gulf States. it was described. had seeded
in consequence of the election Of a Northern Pres

about following suit. An attempt was made to
form treaties with foreign nations, and free trade
was established which gave the South an unexam-

twenty-four years latter has given these predic.
tions the form of fulfilled Iacts. The author only

MAYOR Brown OF BALTIMORE. The following is
from the Baltim ore American:
Mayor Brown, Of Baltimore, went to Washing.
ton on Sunday, at the earnest request of the Pres
ldent, and had a long in :erview in tho presence Of
the Cabinet and General Scott.
The President urged the absolute necessity Of
transit through Baltimore. SCOTS opinion was to
bring troops through Maryland, avoiding Bal.i-
more, if the people would permit it. If not,
troops must select their own best route, and if
needs must fight their way through.
The President and Secretary of War heartily
concurred in The desire to avoid collision.
The Mayor said the authorities would use ali
lawful means to prevent parties leaving the city
to attack troops passing at q distance, bu. was un-
able to promise moro.
The President answered that no moro trocps
would be sent through the city unless obstruoted
in other directions, with the understanding that
the city authorities use their best efforts to restrain
the people.

INFORMATION wANTEp.-An Oberl,n letter wri-
ter, giving an account of the military enthusiasm
at that place, says,
ave save noticed several strong minded young
men who would do honor to almost any post in
life, weep bitterly when told that it was every
way inconsistent for the1a TO enlist"
This is not explicit. 1t leaves tho mind in
doubt as to the reason that restrained these per-
sons from enlisting. Vas it because they were
''strong minded young mop," or was it because
they were preparing for the Gospel ministry, and
remembered who it was that said "My kingdom is
not,of this world, else would my servants f5ht?'
II is very evident they were "Stroag minded young
men," else they would not have been restrained
by any consideration of inconsistency, violation
Of principle, or other such triaing matter.

A SCRAP OF Manufacturing the memorable
secession in 1917 Of seven Cartons from the Swiss
Confederacy, it is q noticeable fact that even ae-
ter q National Convention of the remaining loyal
Cantons had decided to raise a levy of 70 900
troops to quell this instruction, under whose
banner already stood a force Of 3d. GOO troops. sew
eral Cantons refused because nearly equally divi-
ded in their sympathies between the Federal Gov
eminent and the Secession party to furnish their
contingent of troops and remained neutral paci.
hcators in the behalf of both parties.
At the close of this fratricidal war, which las
ted but three months, and resulted in the entire
e expulsion of the Secession leaders, the Federal
Government apportioned the expenses of the war
equally among the seven Secession Cantons and
the two neutral ones. The General Convention,
which was convened Immediately upon the ces:a-
ton of hostilities, completely remodellod the Fed
eral Constitution, and not long thereafter, BY
general consent, the expenses of the war were
equally apporti2ned among all the Cantons. This
latter act OF generosity, together with the new
Constitution, has infused n ~fraternal feeling among
the Swiss far surprising that which formerly ca
isted.

Of destruction. They we're very numerous and
extensive, and Of creator %capacity in the aggre-
gate than those Of any other navy yard on the con-
tinent. The navy yard has been the fa,ness Of the
land to Portsmouth and Norfolk. It's destruction
will greatly impoverish those towns; and tho block

not be possible for the Virginiaus to take Fort

that is not likely to happen. Il covers eleven

some citizens quietly took possession Of the steam

Jackson, from Cincinnati, to hold them until it
should be known what Cincinnati meant to Go.
Intelligence was, however, received by telegraph
from Cincinnati, as we are informed, to the effect
that the arms in question had Beeh SEIZED by the

THE sANCT1TY OF LAW.

II makes a wonderful difference in the minus OF
most men whether or not an act is sanctioned oy
law. II it is, it is all right; If it is not II SUI
wrong; and this without any regard 10 inc u
herent moral character it may possess 10 heip q
slave assert his freedom, is wrong, because tue
law forbids il, while to kill thousands by the sale
OF alcoholic liquors is right, because the law
nnnulions It. Such is the popular argument.
The Washington letter writer for the IfHs6urg
Gazette, speaking a short1ime since Of an appro-
bended attack upon I~Iarper's Ferry, said that the
government ought Immediately to reinforce the
place by sending two thousand men, or dportrdit
or John Broom! It is but little moro than q year
ago that the Federal government captured the old
man, and stood by to guard The galOws while
Virginia hung him; and we have no question but
that the same government would to-day be glad to
accept Of the aid of just such a man and body Of
men asa year and a half since it shot and hung
10 Virginia, and would have them do the very
things it shot and hung them for doing, and the
people would commend the government for it.
And wby2 Because while then it was illegal and
traitorous to fght against Virginia, it would notc
be legal and highly patriotic to do it. Such is
the effect of law.

,RsE-AGNEs OF SORRENTO is the title Of the New
Romance which Mrs. Harriet Beechor Stowe has
Sust written for the ATLANTIC MONTHLY. The
FIRST pages are given in the May number of that
work-which we have just received-and the mar
ner in which the story opens assures US that its
publication will add to the already brilliant repu-
tation Of this most popular of American authors.
The story is one Of love and duty, of joy and
trial. Its heroine is q young girl, born in a
Catholic country and educated under the influence
Of Catholic institutions, and in the development Of
the plot the author has sought to illustrate the in
fuences of that creed upon the lives and charac-
tiers OF its votaries.
From tho intense interest IN this subject which
has been manifested by tic people of the United
States within the past few years, and the fact that
it has entered so largely into the discussion of the
political as well as religious questions Of the time,
IL cannot be doubted that Mrs. Stoves elucida-
ton of it, through the medium of fictitious nara
tive, will cause it to be widely sought for and as
eagerly pursued as her previous brilliant contribu-
tions to American literature have been.
