A NOVEL BATTERY.-A new railroad bat
terry, terribly destructive instrument of
war, in the shape of an iron car, has just
been completed in Philadelphia, for the use
of Government, and is to be used on the
Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore
Railroad 1t is very formidable looking
object, the sides and top being of the best
boiler iron, warranted to resist rife balls.
One-half the car is furnished with port
holes, so as to allow the use of formda-
BILE cannon, which has been placed on a
pivot table, at any point on the side or
trout of the car. 1t has numerous holes
for look-outs or for the use of men armed
with rifles. With this battery in front of
a locomotive, and cannon loaded with
punchings from boiler iron, death will be
the portion of all offering enemies.

The South in the London Money Market

The Commissioners from the rebel States
being in quest of funds, we're one day form
ally introduced to Mr.. Bates, the head OF
Barring Brothers, London, when the fnan-
cier told them to proceed with the relation
of their business, whereupon they com
menced with n mos: elaborate and glowing
description of the wealth of the rebel States.
After a pause
Mr.. Bates-Have you fnished.7
Commissiouers-N Not qwite. Then
speech from Mr.. Commissioner No. ., and a
pause.
Mr.. Bates-Have you finished?
Commissioners-Almo [Then speech
from Commissioner No. 3, and pause.
Mr.. Bates-Are you through?
Commissiouers-Yes sir, you have our
case.
Mr.. Bates-what States did you say COM
posed your Confederacy
Commissioners-Mi Mississippi, South Car
olina, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Texas,
and Louisiana.
Mr.. Bstes-And Mr.. Jefferson Davis is
your President?
Commissioners-IIe is. We are proud
Of him.
Mr.. Bates-We know Mr.. Davis well by
reputation. He is the same gentleman who
,.umped his State for two years in favor OF
Ienuiiation, and justified the conduct OF
Mississippi in the United States Senate
We know the gentleman and although
We have no reason TO be proud Of him or
his antecedents, | think may safely say
that if YOU have brought with you the nee
essary funds to pay off the principal and
interest, the repudiated millions owing to
our people by your States of Mississippi
Alabama and Florida, there is a reasonable lie
prospect of your raising small amount in
this markell Our Mr.. Sturgis will be hap
py to dine with You at eight o'clock to-
morrow evening Ereu,n omae,.
While this scene WAS being enacted al
the Barings, Dudley Mann waited upon our
country man, Peabody, who holds $500, 00C
of repudiated Mississippi bonds, on which
there is the sum of 5000, 900 interest. Mr..
Mann was very magnificent and grandilc-
aaent. but withal prosy; and Peabody,
suffering from gout and Mississippi repu-
diation, lost his temper, and shaking his
clenched fist at the rebel, emphatically
sad: '.If WAS to &C on Change and hunt
up the suffering and starved widows and
orphans who have been ruined by your IN
famous reputation of honest debts, and
proclaim that you are here to borrow more
of our gold and silver, to be again paid oy
repudiation, las believe it is my duty to
do.) you would inevitably be mobbed, and
find it difficult to escape with your life
Good morning, sir.

ELLswoRTH.-It is related in an ancient
Roman tradition, that ehasm suddenly
opened in the midst Of the Forum. The
oracles and augur5 were consulted to inter
pret the meaning of this protentous phenom-
enon. The answer from the soothsayers
came, that the chasm should not be closed
until the most precious thing in Rome was
cast into the abyss. Whcreupon, young
pa trician. named Martius Curtius. clad in
full armor, sprang into the gulf, exclaiming
that the most precious things in Rome
were patriotism and military courage. So,
across the beautiful structure of American
liberty the chasm of armed secession has
opened, and into the abyss the gallant
young soldier of the parivies has leaped,
with the war-cry of freedom upon his lips.
And when the gulf shall close again, the
flowers that grow on Ellsworth's grave,
which nation is watering with their .ears,
shall bloom forever, like th2 amaranth
blossoms of Paradise, making an eternal
mor.u nent to the hcro-martyr, the patriot
soldiers, the gallant and generous COM
mander, who died in the defense of the flag
to whose services he dedicated the young
life which seemed so full of promise and
hope.

Coz: OR GES. FKExoNT-Col now Gen
eral Fremont has been called to an impor-
tant post by the President. He was lately
in Europe. and in a letter from Paris he says:
AZ would have returned Immediately on
receipt of the Presidents proclamation, but
you can understand that it was almost i'm
possible for me to leave so abruptly nor
do l know that ! could in any way be OF
service to justify the immediate abandon
ment of my affairs. But l write to you in
all confidence to say that wish to do my
part if the struggle is to 20 on, and in
tend to rely on you to keep me well inform
ed, and to let me know truly if | can be of
any real service shall look about here
to see where the best war supplies can be
had, and endeavor to make some condition
al arrangements for artillery, and small
arms sufficient for large force. This is
the best thing I can do, and it may gain
time in the event these things should be re-
quired."
Aletter from another party says.
"Col. Fremont has been in three times
to-day, and said once. There is nothing
should like better than fine regiment of
active men to stand under the Amer Ca
flag at Richmond and Norfolk, and if nee
essary, march to New Orleans."'

MANAGEMENT OF HENs-Two EGGS DAY.
A writer in the Maine Farmer says: Your
correspondents have had good deal to say
of late about hen husbandry. Perhaps it
will not be amisS for me'to state my ex-
perence.
And first, it is not good policy, even if
practicable, to keep your hens laying all
winter. They should have some time for
rest. IF you coax your cow to give milk up
to her calving, it will be at the expense of a
diminished quantity afterwards. Hens a
year,old ard more, usually mouit late in the
fall, and it takes them the most of the winter
to regain their vigor. Hens should not be
kept more than two years they should be
worn out in that time. Chickens hatched In
April, and we'll fed through the summer,
will lay by the first of September, and prove
your best layers for the succeeding three
months.
The way to have fresh eggs all winter, is
to pack them in bran in October and Novem-
ber
The best food for laying hens is corn meal
dough and new milk. This supplies all the
animals and vegetable matter hen requires
Hens may easily be made to lay two eggs Il
day with this food, provided they are young
and vigorous. If any one doubts this, let
him next spring take young hen that has
laid her litter ont, and wants to set; or
better still, one that has set and Matched her
chickens-confne her in pen on plowed
ground, where she can obtain gravel and
burrow at pleasure. allowing the chickens
their liberty; keep a basin in the pen sup
piled with warm milk from the COW night
and morning, with a sufliciency, also, of
corn meal dough all the time, and you will
have the satisfaction of seeing your chickens
thrive, and in ten or twelve days look ont
for your two eggs day or twelve per week.
Some milk or 'bonny- -clabber kept in pan
where your hens can have free access to it.,
will also produce wonders.

NEARLY FIRE.-The bar-keeper of the Mi
ner's Exchange, few doors northeast of this
Office, had lot of pitch-pine under his counter,
with which he kindles fires, after pouring cam
phene upon it. On Thursday morniug about 4
o'clock, by some means spark fell upon this
pitch-pine and it soon fared up into blaze,
communicating with the infammable materials
around it, and for few moments threatening a
serious confagration. Mr.. Wilcox, the town
night watchman, happened along at the time
the fire was discovered, and assisted in extin
gushing it, which was done by letting on a
stream of water from hydrant which furnishes
the house with its supply.

the past two weeks, and we are pleased to state

NARROW EsCAPE.-Fn Friday last Hugh
Jones was engaged in the Tivictic claims, ON
Junction Bluff, not far from Sebastopol, raising
a shaft and blasting, when an accident occurred
from which he narrowly escaped with his life
The tunnel is six hundred feet in length, and the
shaft is being raised at the back end of it. 1t has
reached height of about one hundred feet,
where the atmosphere is mephitic, and requires
to be removed by a current of fresh air, forced
steadily in by bellows from below. Jones had
lighted CHE fuses of two blasts, and retreated
into a side-chamber, to avoid their effects One
of these blasts exploded, by which stone was
hurled into the chamber where Hugh had taken
refuge, knocking down one of the posts which
supported its tirnbers, causing the loose earth
and gravel to fail upon Hugh, and partially bury
him beneath its bulk. His brother, who was in
the tunnel below called out to know ''if it would
be safe to come up?" Hugh repled-"Not yet
the other fuse is ignited." Just then the second
blast went off. The brother again asked, ''Is all
right :" but received no answer. AS soon as the
smoke had cleared sufficiently away, he assembled
the shaft, still calling upon Hugh, without res
the object of his search lying beneath the fallen
earth and gravel, not materially injured, as it
afterwards proved but embraced in profound
stupor. Other assistance was soon at hand, and
the insensible man was borne below into the
light and fresh air, where he soon recovered.
This incident will give the distant reader some
idea of the perils encountered in the life of a
California miner.
