MeSsina. Naly.-The city of Messi-
ma, with a population of one hundred
thousand, does not contain single
newspaper, but it has several theatres.
The people have for many generations
been so accustomed to tyranny that they
now do not seem conscious of tho value
of their newly acquired freedom. The
principal streets are without sidewalks,
but are paved with flag stones about
two feet square, and are very dirty.
The houses are white, rooted with red
tiles, and cut up into many small
rooms. those on the ground story be-
ing converted into poor, mean stores,
with little variety Of goods, and that
mostly of the coarsest English manu-
facture. The mechanics do not seem
to have half learned their trade. The
people cannot read Theft and assassi-
nations abound. Schools are unknown,
and all the beauty which nature has
lavished upon the place, cannot make
its desirable residence after the frt
charm of novelty has passed away.

~ We are informed, that those in
authority have in contemplation the
removal of Camp Walker, now at the
Metairie Ridge Race Course, to grounds
in Kennerville, nearer the Mississippi
river. In many respects the latter
location possesses various important
advantages as Camp ground. The
convenience of having an inexhaustible
supply of the most pure water in the
country alone, should decide the cues
ton as to the immediate removal of
that large body of men to that point.
The time occupied and the conveyance
used in approaching Kennervlle from
the city of New Orleans. renders it, in
many respects preferable to the location
on the Ridge, both as to time and con-
yeyance-setting aside all other advan-
tages as Military Camp ground.
1t is to be hoped those gentlemen
having control of the matter, will not
overlook the Importance of change
for health alone, should the encamp-
ment be of long duration.

VirsInian Pity for MaryIand's Fidelity to
lhe Union.

- OAA~Af
In a recent issue of the Petersburg (va.)
Express occurs the following:
There is not a Virginian who does not
deeply sy%mpathise with the people of Mary
land in this hour of their trial. Cut off as
they are by natural barriers from their South
ern brethren, they are entirely at the mercy
Of the yandal hordes which have OVerrun
their fair land, and as they are beyond the
reach from assistance from this side of the
Potomac, they must of course succumb. 1t
is a melancholy necessity, but an oyerruling
One, and we make every allowance in their
behalf that the utmost generosity can dictate.
We know that abraYer, nobler, more iber-
ty-loving people are not to be found under
the sun than the MaTyianders. They have
long since earned this high reputation by
their deeds in arms. But all this avails not
to save them from subjugation to the power
which has assailed them.
The momentAry stand which they made In
Baltimore against their invaders, while Il
showed their gallantry and their love Of
their birthright Of freedom, also showed the
utter hopelessness Of resistance TO the march
Of Federal troops over her soil to the Capital.
A reaction has consequently, and not at ali
strangely, followed the bloody enactment In
the streets Of that city not long since, and
now the public mind all over the State seems
70 be last settling down TO submission to a
fate which can not be averted. We have
none the less admiration for the character OF
the Marylanders for this compulsory and
unavoidable acquiescence in the premises
nor have we q whit less confidence in their
patriotism Of spirit, and in their innate de-
testation OF oppression and oPPressors.

Another Description Of the Winnns Steam
Gun.
Wednesdays Washington Star remarks:

Gun. t-.
Wednesdays Washington Star remarks:
The steam gun captured at Ellicott's Mills,
on its way to Harper's Ferry, is one of the
lions Of the Massachusetts camp. 1t is an odd
looking concern, bearing not q single indi-
cation to the Impractical eye OF its murder
Gus purpose. Through the intelligent aid of
Captain, Pickering, who seems to know
what's what about most sorts of machinery,
we obtained some sort of a notion how the
thing was worked. The whole concern,
which weighs perhaps five tons, is mounted
on wheels. Externally, 1t has the appear
ance Of a small two.horse power engine at
one end, and at the other runs off into q sharp
nose, not unlike an end of the Winans cigar
steamer. This nose, however, which is
merely the sheath TO protect the machine and
It's operatives, is constructed of one and one
fourth inch iron; and the expectation of the
inventor was, apparently, that balls aimed at
it would glance off harmlessly.
In the opinion OF those conYersant with
such matters, a MIME ball would penetrate
this sheath, while q six pound ball would, Of
course, knock the whole thing into a cooked
hat. This pointed sheath or covering Is di-
yided nearly us whole length by a slit three
discharges of the gun. With this mouth
ike slit dividing the sheath into ponderous
jaws, and stretching from ear to ear, the
affair has the look Of some devilish shark.
nOsed sea monster. Peering in at this
opening not much is to be seen beyond a few
eog-wheels and bit of mild looking cylinder,
which, however, is the ~mouth-pisce of the
centrifugal wheel, which, revolving at the
tremendous rate Of three hundred and fifty
times per minute, hings out 3 thres-ouuce
ball at each revolution. .lF -

does not amount 70 much, its unwieldiness
being q fatal objection. If placedt TO command
a narrow passage, il might however, do
good service. Captain Pickering says they
viii give it a trial to-day, any how, 10 test
its merits.
