by w. McCord, Sing Sing it is gun which
will discharge successive volleys, without inter-
mission for reloadng or adjusting the parts to
allow the implement TO cool. The piece is
discharged by the turning off crank The loaded
balls, with percussion caps attached, passing
into the barrels from hopper, so that the oniy

Tine London Times on the War.

The London Times, of the 9th inst, has
an article specializing on the issues of the
American War in which t foleshadows re-
suits that have since turned up, and alto
gelher appears 10 have better understand
ing of the state of our army that we in the
north have been taught. We knew the
rank and file of our army were all right,
and never for moment, doubted the bra.
very OF our commanding officers, but sad
experience now makes II evident that it
requires something more than bravery 10
win a battle. Whether the Government
thinks so or not The people now know that
battles cannot be successfully fongh, anless
we have officers who thoroughly under.
stand the business, OF war, and in whom
the men have confidence. We trust for The
honor Of the country and 'he speedy ter
mination of the war, that no more battles
will be rsked until every regiment is un-
der irained officers. The London Times
makes the following fling at our army off :
GERS which although strictly true, we would
rather not hear it from that quarter. The
Times says
"Now Gen. Scott has neither trained
soldiers under him, nor is he marching
against Mexicans. His army is formed
doubtless of good material, and in a few
months, his recruits may be turned into ex-
cellent soldiers: but at present they are

how to Cure a Cancer.

The Milwaukee Democrat states that some
eigh, months ago, Mr.. T. B. Mason, of that
city, ascertained that he had a cancer OIL
his face the size of pin. II was cut out
by DR.. Walcou, and the wound partially
healed. Subsequently it grew again, and
while he was al Cincinnati on business it
attained the size of hickory nut He re-
manned there since, Christmas under treat
ment, and is now perfectly cured. The
process is this
A piece Of sticking plaster was put over
the cancer, with circular piece cut out OF
the centre lntle larger than the cancer, so
that the cancer and small circular rim of
healthy skin next tc II was exposed. Then
a plaster made Of chloride Of zinc, bloc d
root and wheat -four, was spread on piece
OF muslin The size of this circular opening
and applied 10 The cancer for twenty four
hours. On removing it, The cancer will be
found burnt into and appear of the color
and hardness oi an old shoe sole, and the
circular rim outside Of il will appear white
and parboiled, as if scalded by hot steam.
The wound is now dressed, and the outside
rim soon separates and lhe cancer comes
ont in hard lump, and The place heals up.
The plaster kills the cancer, so that il
sloughs out like dead flesh, and never grows
again. The remedy was discovered by Dr.
Fell Of London, and mas been used by him
for six or eight years, with unlailins success
and not case as been known OF the re-
appearance of the cancer when his remed y
has been applied.

Old FeudS.

There are Republicans who have not the
heart 10 announce themselves as such that
are striving 10 keep alive old feuds in the
Democratic party by talking about "Breck-
inHdge men," Douglass men," &C., as
though Democracy consisted in being the
follower or promoter of some particular pol.
itician. Now, what care we for the inter-
ests of any particular man! When we
speak of Democracy, we mean PRINCIPLTs,
and nothing else. We mean equally, JUS
uce, State sovereignty, free speech: free
press, obedienc TO The law and the Con-
siitution, and all coliaterals Of free and in
dependent self government. How contemp-
tible and dwarfish must be the principles
of that man whose highest idea of the pa
triolism and dignity of an American citizen
is for him 10 choose the pocket, or promo
ton OF Some particular Individual as the
fixed centre of his own manhood, and 10
become the revolving satellite of so narrow
sphere Give us principles, not men,
and give rs christian and patriotic motives,
rather than faclioEal revenge, or a waver-
ing and saleabe political character. The
man whose principles are controlled by any
thing short of an honest conviction Of
right is unworthy of the greatest blessing of
freedom.-N Northumberland Democrat

Greeley'S Panic.

It is well known TO the county that
GREELEY has been clamoring for War
with the South all his lifetime, and since
he has obtained his desires he is the hap:
piest man in creation and is urging on the
War with an impatience that has caused
even Gen. ScoTT to suecomb. GREELEY has
been pushing on the War in order 10 smash
up things generally. He expressly stated
in the Tribune, short time ago, that he
wanted to see ga panic-a real back down
panic.n The animal turned up the other
dayineat Manassas Junction. II is one OF
GREELEY's own making and we trust that
for once he is gra.ified TO the full extent OF
his wishes He can now gloat over his
"panicp and keep up the clamor through
the Tribune for further ruin and disgtace to
come upon our unhappy country. The
Republicans themselves now say that If we
want a successful war we must first ;'hang
GaEELEYn for while he Is permitted to med
dlesin affairs we may expect nothing but a
