A new Arm.

new arm is being exhibited in New York
The article is grenade, and is thrown by hand in
such manner to invariably strike on its point
which causes instant explosion and consequent dcs-
truction of the object that it comes in contact
with. 1t is of an oval form, and may be any size,
from one pound up to eight. Instead Of the charge
being ignited by fuse, as is usual, it is done by
ordinary percussion cap. The nipple on which
the cap is placed is hidden from view, and every
thing is so arranged that it is perfectly harmless
unless when intended to be thown. AS it is nee
essary that the grenade should always strike its
point. a vane is affixed at one end, which properly
directs its course.

The appointment of Mr.. Browning, able and up
right as he undoubtedly is, great mistake, if
there could have been found in Illinois Union
Democrat of the requisite ability and character.
That there could have been we have no doubt, and
that there was not, must think with the Tribune
Is piece of party selfshness which is ill-tired,
and may prove mischievuos. We of the North
pride ourselves on the astonishing unanimity of the
people to the Government We point 10 it not
only AS proof of the strens of the Government.
but as the proof that souls not wholly lost
IN trade, grain, in party strifes, and mean self
seeking. We point forei gn nations it to con-
found their imputatons on patriotism, and for
eign nations in it the surest sign of the victory
which We hopo to gain in the conflict with treason
and anarchy. 1t is, in every aspect, the greatest
exhibited of popular feeling ever seen on the
globe, and as grand in its motive as in its magni-
tude. Now if this unanmity is glorious. the spirit
ignores it is inglorious. Ii Democrat can forget.
in the cause of the country, that he opposed to
the Administration, surely the friends of the Ad-
mnstration eught to forget that Republican has
any stronger claims on him than a Democrat If
he cannot, how lorg will i. take to reconstruct
party lines, and divide the feeling that now pours
in one channel to overwhelm the treason that
threatens us Can we hope that Democrats alone
will be self sacrificing, that they will be content
to work as hard Republicans, and let Republi-
cans take Ill the Offices 1t is true that if their
patriotism IL genuine, and not a mere devotion 10
office, they will stand last by the Government if
they hold another office, but is the patriot
ism of Republicans less genuine Are they only
to be held firm in support of the government by
giving them offices tie hold by I'VE know it is
not so. Yet such appointments this in Illinois
will look to many as if Republicans had to be
bribed to stand by their own government, but
could trust the Democrats to stand by it without
ar Y bribe at all. If there was Union Democrat
in illinois able to fill that vacant scat in the
ate he should have had it. Such an appointment
would have been an assurance to the Democrats
thai there was but one party now, as We proudly
boast is the case. The selection of Republican
goes far to show that if there is 80 be but one party
it is to oe made by the annihililaton of the Dem
ocracy. not by kindly and cordial union Of Demo
Gratis and Republicans. This is no time for party
aggrandizement or party advantages. Let US save
the government by the glorious union of feeling
we nave made, and when the government is safe,
1t will be time enough TO divide into parties again

The most significant document which has yet
been published by the enemy is the proclaim alton
of Brgadier General " John B. Floyd, the gun
stealer. dated Wytheville. June 4th. He says:
1 have this day received information that
large force of the enemy are rapidly advancing
from Ohio. by the way of Kar awha and Fayette
Court House, with the view Of taking possession
Of this region Of country, and seizing upon the
Virginia and Tennessee railroad, so as to stop the
frontier
Floyd is scared-and with reason, as the reader
will comprehend if he will take a map and exam
inc the situation of Wythevlle. He will see that
it is evidently embraced in the great stra,egetc
movement of Gen. Scott for surrounding the foe,
and cutting off his supplies. which Floyd has dis
covered too late for himself and too late for Da-
Wis.
Wytheville lies in the southwestern part of Vir-
ginia, on the Virginia aud Tennessee Railroad
which is the principal channel through which Da
Wis draws his supplies, not only of men and arms
but of provisions from the South. 1t is almost
the exclusive line of communication with Ten

Feeling at the South.

We have recently had a conversation with q
gentleman who has been two and half years a
residen: of New Orleans. He has but just left
travelling North. Being an old sea captain he 10
aDle to apprehend the character Of the people,
their sentiments and their resources He tells US
that We have no idea OF the wildness of the pas.
sion to drink Northern blood with the sons of the
planters, and the better classes, and that they are
used to arms, and will fight with great skill and
bravery. He says that they are determined in the
step which they have taken, and will carry il
through if they can. He says that going up and
down on the boats upon the Mississippi he has
seen and heard talk most of the leading charac-
tiers of the rebellion, Davis among the rest. He
heard Davis make this remark, s 1 havn no doubt
that the North can furnish five men to our one,
and that she can whip us. but she cannot conquer
u.s." The captain also stated that their priva.ees
were ding good business; that in New Orleans
they had about dozen tug boats of a superior
kind. fitted out for privateers. and well armed
One was fitted out and in the first twenty four
hours captured about $3.50, 900 worth of property
When he left there had been no blockade the
tugs would remain in until they heard of a vessel,
then run out and take her. 1t is his opinion that
it will take at least four vessel. of war to block
ade effectually the mouths Of the Mississippi. He
says things generally arc not so bad there as re-
ported in the North. He has been appointed sail
ing captain in the blockadng squadron, and is 60
ing to start Immediately for Fort Pickens, and
hopes to be there to have opportunity to do his
duty. These statements arc entitled to credit,
from the intelligence and position of the gentle
man making them.-Bostcn Post.
