The IS ROdman..s

This monster gun, which was cast at
Pittsburgh, and is now mounted in
Fort Monroe, is described as follows
Total length, Is feet 10 inches; length
of bore, Is feet nine inches greatest
diameter, 4 feet; diameter at muzzle,
2 feet l inch; thickness of metal, vary
ing from 5 to 25 inches. The total
weight of the gun is 49,1OO or nearly
25 tons. The diameter of the bore is
Is IL ches, and the weight Of shell fired
varying, according to the thickness OF
the metal, from 3O5 to 335 pounds.
Shells, varying between these weights
will contain from 16 to Is pounds oil
powder. For battering purposes, the
weight of the shell is 40 pounds. The
range of the rodman at different angles
Of elevation, from to 40 degrees
varies from 2,Ol7 to 5,347 yards.
The trials which have been made oil
this gun establish its efficiency as ter
rible engine of war.

A DenlOrahle Exhibition.

The Baltimore correspondent of the
New Y ork Tribune says that the Union
men are not satisfied with the nomina-
ton of I'll. Winter Davis, and adds:
"From al that can hear, the feel
ing among them, is to vote blank
ticket, en- bloc, and thus maintain their
self-respect. If this be done, they will
show their strength, let the result be
what it may, and at the same time, not
be found voting against their country,
for it is self.evident that the State of
Maryland and the city of Baltimore
must be held and kept in the Union by
force of arms, as key to the seat of
Government so that it matters very
little how the coming elections may CO."
There is a spirit about the above to-
tally unworthy of Republican in Bal
timore or anywhere else, at this time.
1t is indeed strange if Baltimore Re-
publican would rather throw away his
vote than vote for Mr.. Davis, an out
spoken, unwavering, unconditional
Union man, when tie Gerry issue as
Union or disaaion. We do not believe
that the above represents the brave and
seifsacrificing Republicans of Balti-
more. We know one thing to be a GER
tainty that Michigan Republicans
would vote to-day for Henry Winter
Davis on the platform of an uncondi-
tional support Of the Union.-Detrois

No more Battles at Present.

A special dispatch to the Chicago
Tribune dated May 9th, says that the
battle fought by the telegraph reports,
on Saturday, is likely to be the only
one that will occur ON either side for
some time. Military authorities here
are free to state, on one hand, that no
further advance to Virginia is contem-
plated by Federal forces at present ;
and other authentic advices, received
to-day at the War Department, indi-
cate that the rebels will strictly OBJ
serve the defensive. 1000 of them
have been engaged since yesterday in
throwing up Notifications at Manassas
Cap, twenty-seven miles west from Al
exandria, believing that the Federal
army would advance to take. that point,
to cut off the insurgents at Harper's
Ferry.

Senator Chandler.

This gentleman enjoyed peculiar OPP
portunities at the late capture of Alex
andria. He was the only civilian per-
mitted to accompany the troops, and
entered Alexandria with the Michigan
Regiment, and was witness to all the
stirring scenes transporting there. He
was also the first person to return to
Washington bearing intelligence of
the capture, and the death of the gal
liant Ellsworth. The details of the
latter event he also first communica-
ted to the President. As will be re-
membered, Mr.. Chandler was also a
passenger on the Freeborn when it at
tackled Sewell's Point battery.

The Confederate Pirates.

If the JEFF. Davis government had
made it an object to exasperate north
ern indignations, and to excite disgust
and hostility throughout the civilized
world, no measure could have been
pitched upon SO certain to accomplish
that object as his scheme of policy
upon northern commerce. The Mont
gemery Congress has not only sane
toned jeff. Davis's proclamation, but
has engrafted upon it an offer of head
money as an extra inducement. The
bill provides that I" a bounty shall be
paid by the confederate states of $40
for each person on board any armed
ship or vessel belonging to the United
States at the commencement of an en-
gagement, which shall be burnt sunk
OF destroyed by any vessels commits
stoned as aforesaid, which shall be of
equal or inferior force, the same to be
divided as in other cases of prize money
and bounty of $25 shall be paid to
the owners, officers and crews of the
private armed vessels, commissioned
as aforesaid, for each and every prison
er by them captured and brought into
port, and delivered to an agent author
lied to receive them, in any port of the
confederate states". And the South
erners really expect to make money by
this piracy. The Mobile Register says :
Business may languish on land; let
it spring up gloriously on the water.
On the ocean there will be magnifi-
cent partnership between fortune and
patriotism; and bold and adventurous
men will amass wealth for themselves
and at the same time cut off the resour-
ces of the enemy of their country"
The Cass County Republican. [volume] (Dowagiac, Mich.) 18??-1880, 1861-05-30
Good Suggestion.

The New York Tribune suggests
that the approaching anniversary of our
National Independence be celebrated
in every town and city in the North.
The present time, perhaps, more than
any other, calls for very general OBJ
servance of that day. While the South
ern portion of the Union which has
enjoyed its full share of the blessings
ACQUIRING from the labors of the men
who made the Fourth of July day
memorable in our annals and in the
history of the world, the Northern
portion is now called upon to unsheath
the sword in defence of the principles
and that Government whose founda-
tons were laid in an era We should all
seek to commemorate. The people of
the latter section are now engaged in
a second war for independence-not
against a foreign foe-but against
wicked men in our own land, whose
mad ambition and migrate treachery
now prompt them to overthrow the
political edifce reared by the men OF
1776. One, if not more, of the revolt
ing States has formally abolished, by
legal enactment the Fourth of July
stricken it out from among the days
to be observed as q National Holiday
We should seek to preserve it, and
thus keep fresh in the memory of the
living the heroic sacrifices and noble
labors of the dead.
| What say our citizens? Shall we
not have an old fashioned celebration
such an one as was foretold by Johr
Adams? The reading of the Declare
ton, an Grafton, the booming Of can
non and the bonfire, will increase oul
enthusiasm in favor of the RIGHT, and
turn our minds back to the time wher
a foreign foe sought to wrest from ~
the inestimable blessings which art
now in imminent peril, in consequence
of the wicked ambition of Southern
men. We should like to have meet
ing called directly, and our most in
dustrious and efficient men chosen t.
make the preliminary arrangements.
