difficulties Of the North.

Among the many reasons as
signed by northern men for the
cruel war now waged by the North
against the South, we do not rec
ollect to have seen the honest
truth more plainly told than fell
from the lips Of Gen. Mcclellan,
as set forth in the following ex-
tract:
A few months ago, Gen. Nc
Clellan was asked by "a friend
from Kentucky-'sDo you expect
by this war to subjugate the
South?'' "subjugate the SOUTH
he replied. "No, sir; the North
can no more subjugate the South
than the South can subjugate the
North" "What, then, do you
propose as the object and jnstifea-
i ton of this horrid war; The
answer was: "Well, sir, this war
is military necessity to the North.
We are obliged to fight you, or we
shall have to fight one another
There is an impression abroad un-
favorable to our courage; the same
opinion prevails at the South; and
if we did not fight, We should lose
the control over a large portion OF
our own people. So we are under
a necessity to fight.
The Central Presbyterian, OF
Richmond, is responsible for the
statement, having received it from
"good authority"

there cloth enough to make 500
overcoats for our soldiers, and that

These coats are to be given to the

who have no one at home to nro-
vide for their wants. Those who
are able to buy overcoats for their
sons or relatives in the army are
expected to do so. 1t is only the

Drafting has been ordered dis
continued in the North, for the
reason that if the volunteers can't
stand before us, it was useless to
have the mere dead aoood OF raw
conscripts. AS the New York
Times says: ''The man who fights
simply because he is compelled to
do SO, will be likely to forget hls
devotion to his country, when bul-
let's are whistling around hum;
and prove his devotion to himself
by running away" The truth is,
the North has little stomach for
the fight, especially fanatical New
England-and while a half million
of volunteers cannot be had, it Is
idle, and indeed dangerous: to
draft soldiers in a democratic, free
suffrage country. The conscripts
will not make soldiers, but may
make mutineers.

4 Question ac;M the English Got

4 Question acith the English Got
ernment.-The Raleigh Register
has the following: "Some time ago,
two English vessels, arriving on
the coast Of North Carolina and
and finding no blockade, proceeded
to Beaufort. Discharging their
cargoes, they loaded again and
started for Liverpool. But now,
some Yankee ships were on hand
and refused permission fer them
to pass. The captains protested,
contending that there being no
blockade when they arrived, the
right of tagress carried with it the
right of egress. They appealed to
the British consul, at Charleston,
who conceded with the captains;
but his remonstrances had no more
effect; whereupon he proceeded to
Washington and laid the subject
before Lord Lyons"

Numbering The People.

A correspondent of the Obser-
yer says the times of census tax
ing have always been times OF
trouble with us;
"The census of 1900 was com
pleted | believe, amid prospects oi
a collision with France. That
of 1910 was followed by difficult
ties with England, that soon cul-
minated in war. The troublous
times of the Missouri Compromise
marked the enumeration OF 1870.
In 1880 notification was rearing
its defiant head. IN 1S4O the
country was in an abyss of financial
bankruptcy, almost unparalleled
in our history. The compromise
of 1850 scarcely stilled the tu-
multi of passion that year, and Sc
cession marked the close of the
census of 1860. Have these coin
cidences no special meaning? In
view of the chastisement of Israel,
recorded End Sam. XIV and |
Chron. xxi, because David num-
bered the people, the inquiry
seems pertinent"

er with the number of men in each

This information can only be OBJ
tanned from the War Department

of that infamous sheet. We are
informed that numerous old oih-
GERS from the Departments at

The Columbiad or PalXhan-
pronounced payzan-is alarge gun,
designed principally for throwing
shell, it being far more accurate
than tie ordinary short mortar.
| A mortar is very short can
non, with a large bore; some OF
them thirteen inches in diameter,
for firing shells. Those in use in
our army are set at an angle OF
forty-fve degrees, and the range of
the she'll is varied by altering the
charge of powder
The she'll is caused to explode
at just about the time that 1T
strikes, by means of a fuse, the
length of which is adjusted to the
time of flight to be occupied by
the ball, which, of course, cores
ponds with the. range. The accura-
cv with which the time of the burn
ing of d fuse can be adjusted, by
varying its length, is surprising.
Good artillerists generally sue
ceed in having their shells explode
almost at the exact instant OF
striking; In loading q mortar the
shell is carefully placed with the
fuse directly forward, and when
the piece is discharged, the shell is
so completely enveloped in flame
that the fuse is nearly always
fixed. The fuse is made by filing
wooden cylinder with fuse-pow-
der, the cylinder being of sufficient
length for the longest range, to be
cut down for shorter ranges as
required.
A Dalghren gun is an ordinary
cannon, except that it is made very
thick at the breech for some three
or four feet, when it tapers down
sharply to less than the usual size.
This form was adopted in conse-
quence of the experiments of Capt.
Dalghren, of the United States
Navy, having shown that when
a gun bursts, it usually gives way
at the breech.
The Niagara is armed with these
guns, and at the Brooklyn Navy
Yard there are sixty, weighing
about six thousand pounds each,
and six of twelve thousand pounds
weight each, the former Of which
are capable of carrying q nine
inch, and the latter ten inch
shell a distance of two or three
miles; and there is one gun of this
pattern which weighs fourteen
thousand nine hundred and six
teen pounds, and is warranted to
throw an eleven inch shell four
miles.
A easement is a stone roof to a
fort made sufficiently thick to re-
sist the force Of cannon balls, and
easement gun is one which is
placed under easement.
A barbette gun is one which is
placed on the top of fortification'
An embrasure is the hole or
opening through which gums are
fired from Notifications.
Loop-holes are opening in walls

/ We see it stated that the Gov

the hands of those land sharks,
the extortiohers and SPECTATORS,
to the use of the army In that
State, allowing them a liberal prof

half to one-fourth less than they
desired to realize. This was GER
tainly right, and the Governor who
pursues such a course will be up

in Tepnessee-we have heard it
said by gentleman who, from his
high position, has an opportunity

cessary for Governor Harris to take
some such steps, To obtain food aid
clothing; and perhaps it would be
well enough for this class of ''skin-
fints" to keep the action of Tie
Governor of Louisiana before their
eyes, and when they have an OPP
portunity to sell to ask no more
than is reasonable. Of all persons
to be held in detestation by COM
munity, it is one who would take
advantage of such times as these to
extortiOnate upon the wants and
necessities of the people-particu-
larly the wants of the soldier. If
