Accident to the Bic Gun.

Baltimore is certainly al unfortunate place
for great guns. The enormous columbiad
which has been lying at Locust Point some
days, carefully guarded from all harm, was
to be sent yesterday to Fortress Monroe. A
schooner was got il readiness to convey it
the deck was strengthened, and very
strong gangway of planks made across which
TO move the immense gun. With Incredible
labor, the "grate kanon" was slowly rolled
from the wharf along this gangway. Ii was
nearly on board, when the platform or gang
way began to bend. In an instant more,
planks. beams and joints with one sinulra.
neous crash, parted in the middle, and with
terrific splash, down went the columbiad
to the bottom of the harbor. The water
was only seven feet deep, but what is still
worse. it was quickly found that the gun was
sinking intu the ground! The bottom there
is soft and yielding mud. and up 10 dark
last night the gun had sunk down seven feet
10 that, 80 that it is now fourteen feet below
the su: face of the water. When it is re mem
bered that il weighs exactly So, $50 pounds,
our readers can form their own opinion about
the probability of raising it. My own opn-
ion is, that it will not do much service in
this war.
LET THERE BE NO WHITEwAsHING.-Now
that the Governor has appointed Commits
soiners to investigate the army frauds, we
trust there will be no whitewashing. which
is USUALLY the case with such commissions.
Messrs. Fry, Haywood and Abbott have the
reputation of being honest men. Let them
also be firm. They should be strong enough
to become executioners if necessary. We
want to know just where the responsibility
belongs, and we want these Commissioners
to tell US plainly and unequivocally. The
public will not be satisfied with smooth words
but facts must be sufficient to carry convic.
ton with their report. That is not all /; the
report should not be delayed. The case is
not SO complicated that it need to take
long time for an investigation,

Massachusetts & South Carolina.

We occasionally hear the assertion that
Massachusetts and South Carolina are the
two extremes of which It would be blessing
if the people of this country could rid them-
selves. As to South Carolina, we are net
willing to question the application of :he rid
dance, or the certainty of the blessing we're
that commonwealth and its traitors blotted
from existence. But Massachusetts has a
bold on the people of this continent. which
it would be hard to shake off On this con-
tinent, Massachusetts established the first
school, Incorporated the FIRST academy, and
endowed the first university. She set up
the first printing press printed the first book,
and published the first newspaper. She
launched the first ship. killed the first whale,
and made tbs first discoveries 10 the Pacific
and South aeas. She digged the first canal,
and built the first railroad; coined the first
money, and unfurled the frs: national flag.
She fred the first gun. shed the first blood,
and gained the first victory in the war of the
revolution. She drew the FIRST lightning
from heaven. performed the first painless op.
Grafton in surgery, and invented the mag
netic telegraph. She taught the first blind
and deaf mute to read, and established the
first school for the discipline of idiots. And
now. in the latter days, she came first to the
relief of the capital. and fred the first gun
and sbed the first blood in the war of the
Constitution. Of South Carolina we can de-
clare that she iLaugurated the first rebellion
in this country cherished the first traitors
-clings to the last vestige of arisiocracy-
adopts fugitive rebels as loyal citizens, and
makes the principles of slavery the arbiter ia
the jury box, the pulpit, and business mart.
Who would give up the glory and the useful
ness of old Massachusetts. for the treachery
and lawlessness of South Carolina?

Our paper he PROCESSES to give our answers to
his allegations, but suPpresses the material
part of them, in fact all but the simple denial,
IIo is smart at the expense Of his honesty.
We gave facts to support our position; he
ignores them and simply reiterates his state
ments. \ party in court who should, when
quoting from document brought in by his
OPPONENT, suppress the material part. would
BE- held guilty Of perjury. We said that the
Democratic leaders in Congress were rcspon-
siblo for rcopening the agitation of the sla-
very question, by their introduction OF the
Nebraska bill, their support of the Leeomp-
ton Constitution, and kindred measures. We
gave these facts to support our emphatic dc
NAL Of his queries. But SURPRISING 50
much of our answers as relates to these events
Of history, he eOOlly sits down and gives the
public to understand that we only answered
no to his questions. We did answer no, and
then gave the evidence to support our denial
Since our noighbOr has gone over to the Sc
cessionists an honest man stands no chance
with him. Adopting their system OF ethics,
he may not be quito ready to commence pub
lie robbery and plumber, but he Is learning
bravely, and will soon be ready for even such
work. Like them he distorts and peryerts

presses the declarations OF his OPPONENTS

tiuuing controversy with one whose ideas
of Justice and fairness seem to conform to
