CINCINNATI BRBECH. LoADIEG CAENoN.-We
yesterday examined a model for a new and
ingenious piece of ordnance which has been
invented within the the last three weeks, by
james MeFarlan, Charles Theme aud Cap
tain W, G. Sherwin, Of this city, the latter
of the Queen City Flying ARTILLERY. The
load is placed in a horiSonal cylinder at the
brtech, which turns one fourth Of a circle
into firing position, II needs no ramming,
NO thumbing, and but little spunging. The
cylinder is slightly %oonical, 50 as to counter
act the effect Of the expansion when heated,
and leave it always loose enough 10 turn
easily.
1t is fred by Q common rife cap, which is
ingeniously placed in the center OF the casa
BILE, and struck with a hammer. Only three
men are required to manage it, and they all
stand behind it, 1t can be loaded and fired
in four seconds, or at the rate of over eight
hundred Zines an hour. The cylinders and
lever may be applied to Agun of any size,
whether cannon, columbiad or howiizer.
The inventors are having q s~lx4poundeI
manufactured, which will be finished, ready
for war ip ten OF fifteen days. While thu
Captain u waiting for marching orders, hi
win devote all Of his leisure time 70 cOnstrVe
and perfect this gun. hiiAs

INDIANA TROOPS FOR VIRGINIA. Three
regiments of Indiana troops have left Camp
Morton, at Indianapolis, within thirty. six
hours, destined for Grafton, Virginia. The
Ninth, commanded by Colonel Milroy,
passed through Cincinnati at an early hour
yesterday morning, and were, we learn,
well armed and equipped. Colonel Critten-
denis Sixth Regiment arrived here yesterday
afternoon, about half four O'clock on
the Indianapolis Railroad, and marched up
Fourth-street, their whole march being one
continued ovation. They were handsomely
dressed in gray uniforms, with hats, instead
of caps, and were we'll armed with rifed
muskets. i5-' d - per t
The men all had the appearance of strong
healthy farmers, and when the proper time
comes they will convince the Southern gen.
tlemen'' that Northerners are no mercena-
ries, and that the hardy sons of toll, who
obtain their livelihood by honest labor, are
far superior as soldiers to the Southern chiy-
airy, by whom they nave been slandered
that allowing the two to be equal in courage
they are far superior TO their enemies in an
equally important particular-power of en-
duranee.
A third Indiana Regiment went to Viz
Rinia yesterday, by way of the BellefOntains
and indianapolis Railroad.

= First Fruits of the southern Blockade.
A Montgomery (Ala.) correspondent Of
the Savannah (Ga,) Republican gives the
following gloomy exhibit of the financial
condition and prospects of the Confederate
revolted States;
1t is feared that the blockade of Lincoln
will seriously diminish the revenue, unless
speedily raised and if not, the Government
win have to resort to direct taxation in order
to provide for its support. The plan will
prove acceptable to the people, and will be
more effective than q mere dependence upon
an uncertain income.
Some one has suggested, though not Of
icially, the project OF levying q tax Of four
per cent. upon slaves; but considering the
average value Of the slaves at present to be
$500, the income will not exceed $36, 00o, 900.
The Secretary of Wal alone estimates for
$685. 900, zoe, and il is pFebable that at least
500, 00O, 600 will be needed for disbursement
this year. We may, therefore, confidently
expect a 81 stem of direct taxation in case
any Inconvenience is experienced In collec-
tiOns OF the evSnue. The tariff will be re-
duced to an exceedingly low figure, and will
expose, by its action, the monstrosities Of les
colleague, the Morrill, tariff.

ATTEMPT TO Pass CoUNTERFEIT MONEY
Hiram Stevens, a colored man, was bound
over to the Criminal Court, yesterday, in the
sum of $500 for trial on the charge of at
tempting to pass counterfeit money. He
entered the store of John S. Dempsey, on
the corner of Sixth and Plum-streets, pur.
chased a half pound of tea, and presented a
$40 bill in payment, which, by reference to
a detector, was discovered to be counterfeit.
A parley ensued between the two, the OBJ
ject of the man being to detain Stevens till
be could be arrested; but when he discovered
the purpose he broke away and ran. He
was pursued a long distance, through Sixth,
Elm and Longworth streets, and at last over
taken $3s in counterfeit and spurious bills,
and So 81 in good money was found in his
possession. 4r ~

of the Board yesterday, claims were allowed
amounting to 81, 75O 80, of which $54l 81
was to pay hands employed.
Messrs. Grassilli, Saunders b johnson, and
Mulholland and others were present, and ap-
piled to have their water bills reduced. Some
slight reductions we're made.
The Superintendent made a statement to
the effect that the owner of a brewery on the
Hamilton-road had found a valuable spring
some time in October last, with q two inch
lead pipe leading from it to the said brewery;
but that he had spoiled it by turning one Of
the cocks of the Water works a day or two
ago. he was directed to estimate the amount
of water the spring had discharged within
the time, and present the bill for the ame
The Superintendent was directed to plt a
meter on the pipe in Washington Park, and
to notify the Commissioners of the Park that
the water would be turned off until jets OF
smaller outflow were provided for; the
reason, that water could not be supplied to
consumers in the neighborhood while the
jets are in play.
The Secretary asked and obtained permis-
sion to employ another Assistant Clerk for
some weeks, to enable him to get the July
bills ready. Salary not to exceed $50 per
month.

perintendent, presented his bond, which was
approved and filed.

Gaylord & Co, for pipe and ether castings
required for 1861, for 500 per tun Of two
thousand pounds, cash.
A proposition was read from s. s.. Ash
craft, to sell five thousand feet of fourinch
pipe, at $32 per tun, cash. The Superintend-
ent was directed TO offer Mr.. Ashcraft $3l
per tun for said pipe.
A proposition was read from W. Fl. Will
liams, one of the hands at Ashcrafts found.
derry, for himself and others, to furnish pipe
at $34 per tun oftwo thousand pounds. The
Superintendent was directed to inform Mr.
Williams that the Board regretted that his
proposition was not made at an earlier day,
as it could not now be accepted.
The report OF the Superintendent of hi:
observations during his recent trip East, wa
accepted, and ordered to be fled for future
reference; as it is regarded by the Board a.
of much value, it will be probably be printed

We repeat that we have faith in President

lieve that he will sanction the removal Of

The Church in Relntfen 70 the War
The New York Tines says: a.
The General Assemblies of the two great
branches of the American ~Presbyteriau
Church, (Old and New SCHOOL, now con-
vened respectively at Philadelphia and Sy-
racuse, have defined their position toward
the Government in this crisis Of its being.
In the New School Assembly e series
Of resolutions, bold, decisive aud unmis-
taxable in their loyalty, has been passed
unanimously, and in the most solemn man
ner. The unholy censpirators who, in their
lust of power, have violated every command
Of the Decalogue, every precept of the Cos
pei, and every canon of the Church Catholic,
received a Just csstigation while unable to
find words in whichto record their estimate
of these pirate-traitors, the Assembly could
only .'express its smazement at their wicks
edbess, and at the bold advocacy and de-
tense thereof The castigation of the
sword, also, now in store for them, was
solemnly Endorsed; and, before "God, the
Supreme Lord u King of all the world"
they proclaimed that; tin the Judgment Of
the ASSEMBLY, there is no blood CT treasure
too precious to be devoted TO the defense
and perpetuity of the Government in all its
constitutional authority"
In the Old School Assembly, also, q series
of resolutions was introduced last Friday,
by the most venerable patriarch of the
Church, Rev. DR. Spring, of this city, de-
claring it to be the duty Of ministers and
churches so do all in their power TO promote
and perpetuate the integrity OF these United
States, and to strengthen, uphold and en-
courage the Federal Govern ment." The
debate which ensued brought out the loyal
spirit and feeling Of the Assembly in q re-
markable degree. DR.. Thomas, Of Ohio, in
a speech full of noble and patriotic utter
ances, urged the ministers and elders, %
Gods people, to gather around the standard
of our country's glory, and, if their blood
was demanded, freely 20 pour it out for its
support. DIR. Anderson, Of California
warned the waverers that if they now de.
serted the national flag, tle backbone Of the
Church, the Scotch. Irish element the
nblues'' of the West and North west, would
foIsake it in a body. DR.. Musgrave declared
that the loyalty Of thousands Of Southern
Presbyterians in Maryland and Virginia IL
suppressed by terrorism, and that they re-
joice that the Government is now going to
protect ihenin their civil and religious
rights. "Who will answer for our liberties
as Christians" asked he, "if this Govern
ment should be overturned? In place OF
protection, there would be nothing but dis.
order and anarchy.p
