THE JAMES SHELL FAILURE - 1t will be remem-
bered that it vas claimed for this shot that soon
as it struck any substance it would expl' de, and
thus scatter destruction on every side From the
experiments of yesterday, it was perfectly 'bvI"us
that the shell would not explode unless the cap on
the shell is touched. Two-tbirds ot the shot hrtd
bounded into the water, and the cap being upper

to guarantee that the shell will strike upon Ger

Rumor is current here that some of the recent
arrests in Maryland have been made at the instance
of Gov. Hicks. The case of Mr.. Tilghman, now
at Fort McIienry, is mentioned one, in which the
wishes of Gov. IL. furnish the whole ground for de-
tention. / do not vouch for the truth of the re-
port. but it comes from good authority, and is cor
rOborated by facts within the knowledge of we'll
informed parties here in reference to the under
standing which exists between Gov. Ii. and the Ad-
ministraton.
1t is also said that every regiment in the army is
expected to go at least five times over the Northern
Central Railroad, in which the Secretary of War
has so large an interest. This sounds like a jest,
but the accounts of the movements of troops within
the month past seem to be very much in accord
mil Ia.

doubt that nation has also seeded. Fhe Greek ma
ton had a convention about the 18th May, but they
sat with closed DOORS and their action is not there
