THE MONSTER CANNONS OF AMERI-
CA AND ENGLAND.

The London Army and Navy Register
describes the new American principle of
casting large guns hollow, and cooling
them By means of a current Of water thro'
the interior. 1t considers that this inven
tion has introduced a new era in the cast
ing of large iron cannon, and it describes
the monster l5-inch gun which was cast at
Fort Pitt Foundry, Pittsburgh, and now
mounted at Fortress Monroe.
The largest piece of ordnance hitherto
made in England is what is called the
. IIorsefall gum which is mounted at
South Sea Castle, Portsmouth. 1t weighs
% tuns and throws solid shot of 800 lbs.
1t has been tested with charges of50 pounds
of powder and 1870 rounds have been fred
At l8o elevation, its range was 5000 yards
1t was cast in the old way, and is unmis-
takably inferior to the American gun, mas
much as crack about three inches in
length has already been formed in its cham
Der. The American gun has already fred
SEQ rounds, and the most delicate tests
have failed to detect the slightest derange-
ment in it,
Rodman's perforated cake powder, which
is used for American Artillery, is much su-
perior to the English powder. 1t starts the
shot more gently, aud the tendency to
bursting is therefore not so imminent. With
40 pounds of powder as charge, the mi
tiaI velocity of the shot of the great Amer
lean gun was found to be ,32S feetper sec
ond and the greatest range attainable at
an elevation of $50 was $3.50 yards, the
shot weighing 425 pounds. SO far as we
know the American "great gun" is the
greatest gun in the world. 1t is true there
are some old fashioned Turkish cannon at
Constantinogle which can throw shot Of
1900 lbs. weight, but the charge of powder
which they can take is so small that nc
vessel passing the forts at 800 yards dis
tarce would receive much harm from them,
A single shot from tae American gun al
! Fortress Monroe, striking an iron fricate
would make it reel as il it had received the
concentrated kick OF $4,000 horses.

A CONGRESS WITH DECENT 1SDIcATIeNs.-
One of the very remarkable good effects of
the war against secession has been the ex-
traordinary facility with which Congress
was recently organized. Mr.. Grow, of Penn
sylvania, was easily elected to the Speaker
ship of the House of Representatives
Moreover, this organization of Congress has
given laudable proof of the non-existence
o. positive prejudice against Southern
men because of the fact of their being such,
in the election of Emerson Etheridge Secre-
tary of the Senate. lie was a member of
Congress, last year, from Tennessee, and on
going home opposed the separation of the
State from the Union, and left the State in
preference to the rebellions abandonment
of his political position. Perhaps the war
will place this Congress among the few de-
cent Congresses which have been honorable
to the American people.-F0lsom Tel.

SILVER Seekers SoLD.-'' All is not gold
that glitters," neither are all those million
aires who profess to own rich silver mines
as some of our q sharp ones have learned
have been seen meandering our streets two
. solitary" pedestrians, who with many
significant shakes of the head and mvsteri-
Gus winks, gave intimations of vast wealth
discovered by them in the mountains. So
much of wealth had they found, in fact,
that much more was requiem to make it
available. All this wealth was represented
to be locked up in the "Baley Lead" "way
down South in Dixie" back Of Los Ange-
money-hats of goodly San Francisco, all
wished to have a portion of that mine Of
richness, and after much tribu,ation and
persuasion managed to secure shares therein
for some fifteen of them by paying down
good current coin to the amount of some
100000. Grand Preparations were made

silver ore contained in the mine. The dis
coverer, or owner, who had received his
thirty thousand dollars, fearful of the effects
of adding such an immense quantity to the
circulating medium of the world, and not
wishing to disarrange the usual course of
commerce, suddenly made hiEself and his
thirty thousand scarce. The sharp gentle
men who purchased shares are sensibly sore
and appear solemnly savage TO find that
they have been so shamefully sold. The
song they now sing is.
" 1 bet my money on the g Bailey Lead!'

Du dah du dah

prise you that any demonstration of ap-
proyal or disapproyal of anything done or
said during your session, is in violation of
parliamentary decorum, and the chair would
also inform persons in the galleries that ap-
plause by them is a violation of good order
and breach of the rules of the House
The chair hopes, therefore. that any demon
stration of applause will not be repeated
In God is our trust, and the star-spangle led
banner forever shall wave
'O'er the land of the free and the home brave
Suppressed applause.l Those who regard
it as mere cloth, bunting, fail to appreciate
its symbollcal power. Wherever civiliza-
ton dwells, or the name of Washington is
known, 1t bears on its folds the concentrated
power of armies and navies, and surrounds
the votaries with defense more impreg-
nable than a battlement of wall or tower.
Wherever on the earth's surface an Ameri-
can citizen may wander, called by pleasure,
business OF caprice, it is a shield securing
soil of the land of his birth As the guar
dians of the rights and liberties of the peo-
pie, your paramount duty is to make it hon
ored at home as it is respected abroad. A
Government that cannot command the 10y
atty of its own citizens is unworthy the re-
spect of :he world, and Government that
will not protect its Own loyal citizens de-
serves the contempt of the world. APP
plause.1 He VINO would tear down this
grandest temple of constitutional liberty,
thus blasting forever the hopes of crushed
humanity, because its freemen, in the mode
prescribed by the Constitution, select a
Chief Magistrate not acceptable to him, is a
parricide to his race, and should be regarded
as acommon enemy Of mankind. The Union
once destroyed is shattered vase that no
human power can reconstruct in its original
symmetry. Coarse stones, when they are
broken, may be cemented again-precious
ones, never. If the Republic is to be dis
membered, and the sun of its liberty must
go 6ut in endless night, let it set amid the
roar Of cannon and the din of battle, when
there is no longer an arm to strike or heart
to bleed in its cause, so that coming gene
rations may not reproach the present with
being too imbecile to preserve the priceless
legacy beeueathed oy our fathers, so as to
transmit it unimpaired to future times
Again, gentlemen, thanking you for your
confidence and kindness, and invoking guild
ance from that Divine Power that led our
fathers through the red sea of the Revolu-
tion, | enter upon the discharge Of the du-
ties to which you have assigned me, rely 'ng
upon Your forbearance and cooperation,
and trusting that your labors will contrib
ute not little to the greatness and glory
of the Republic.

HEART FoRCE.-A mans force in this
world, other things being equal, is just in
the ratio of the strength and force of his
heart. A full hearted man is always pow
erful man. If he be erroneous, he is pow
erful for error; if the thing is in his heart,
he is sure to make it notorious, even though
it be downright falsehood. Let a man be
ever SC ignorant still, if his heart is full of
love to the cause, he becomes a powerful
man for that object; because he has heart
power, heart-force. \ man may be def
cient in many of the advantages of educa-
tion, in many of those niceties which are
90 much looked upon in society, but once
give him strong heart that beats hard,
and there is no mistake about his power
Let him have heart that is right full up
to the 5rim with an object, and that man
will do the thing, or else he will die glori-
ously defeated, and will die glorious in his
defeat. Heart is power.

ScorT AND WELLINGToN.-AL London jour
nal, not many weeks ago, remarked that
Gen. Scott is p1overbially slow oomman-
der. He is always unpopular during his
campaigns. 1t is only when the campaign
is over, and he has won-as he always has
done, that the wisdom o: his action is un-
derstood, and he becomes popular. High
er praise could not well have been bestow-
ed upon any commander, for the parallel is
an exact one with that paid the Duke of
Wellington. He was always slow coach;
an old fogy. He never seemed to be doing
anything. But he always won. In the end
he was always worshipped. At Torres
Yedras, In the Penlnsular war, he could
have cut the French army to pieces in a
few hours with the loss of half his own
He waited, maneuyred, aud secured advan-
tages for q week, and he obtained a much
more decisive victory, with the loss that
scarcely figured in the bulletin. Scott
could have taken Vera Cruz in three days,
with the loss of 5000 men; he took it in
three weeks and lost about seventeen.

VIcIsIrCDE OF FoRTUSE.-Wm. L. Dayton
our Minister to France, was known to
Louis Napoleon when he was in this coun-
try. Dayton lived at Trenton, n. j., which
is only eight miles from Bordentown;wh
Joseph Bonaparte, the uncle of the present
Emperor long resided, after the overthrow
of Napoleon at Waterloo, in 1915. In
1897, when Louis Napoleon was in this
country, he was visitor at his uncle JOS
cph'S and made many excursions II compa-
ny with him TO Trenton and its vicinity
In that way he became known to Dayton,
who could have little anticipation that he
would ever be anAmbassador to the French
Court over which the exile would preside
as Emperor. 1t is one of those remarka-
BILE vicissitudes of fortune that we could
hardly dream of, much less foresee.
