BOrgia at the South.

The rebels are repeating their attempts
at poisoning. The Louisville Democrat
makes the following statement:
Two or three evenings ago, while young
man named Bennett, member of Captain Dilrs
company of the Twenty-fourth Indiana regi-
ment, was walking backwards and forwards as
sentinel, outside of Lafayette Park, st. Louis,
near the entrance. he was approached by
young man who, with friendly face, asked
the sentinel if he did not feel weary, to which
the soldier replied, "Yes, do feel little
tired" when the kind faced stranger, after
word or two of further conversation. asked him
if he would not accept piece of his pie. The
sentinel thanked him with heartfelt gratitude,
and ate the pie. Shortly afterwards he was
seized with commissions, and was carried by
his comrades to the hospital tent. The phys-
clan of the regiment found that he was poi
soned with strychnine.
One of these rebel Borgias, however, met
q sudden tate, few days since, in the Fed
eral camp at Buckeyes Town, Maryland. A
correspondent tells the story.
Yesterday the owner of the farm on which
the army is encamped was seized and shot
without trial. He ragged fearfully when they
auartered on his land, snd utterly refused to
sell his hay at any price, and finally carried his
spite so rar as to attempt to poison spring
from which the soldiers obtained large sup
ply of water. He was arrested in the act,
with the damnipg evidences of his guilt upon
him, and was shot without benefit of clergy.

The Navy Department.

The number of vessels purchased by the
Secretary OF the Navy since the commences
ment of the war is seuenty-e,gM. The
number chartered is ten. Eight steam
sloops are building twenty-three gun boats
are in various stages Of progress, and thirty
five vessels are fitting out. In addition to
these vigorous measures of the department,
all the ships of the navy have been called
home from distant service, and eighty cap
lures have been made.
The vessels of the navy now on service
in the Atlantic and Gulf squadrons number
ffty.nire. In the Potomac squadron there
are twenty. five vessels on active duty.
Twelve naval vessels which have been Or

for mems passions were aroused to an unwont.
ed degree. 1t would not have been difficult to
raise brigade for the war last night in this
city. From this our readers may form an idea
of the feeling that exists in the loyal cities of
the North. The great battle has surely given
vast proportions and a different aspect to
the war now raging for the preservation OF the
American nation.
SCARCITY OF COAL AND SALT.
The Petersburg (Va.) Express, of tine
18th ult. remarks: .sf
On looking about the wharves we find every
coal yard empty, and we might also say swept.
The approach of cold weather makes us all feel
solicitous on the subject of fuel. We have
become so dependent on the Pennsylvania
mines that the interruption of supplies from
that source will be productive of much incOn-
venience.
The question of how to supply ourselves
with salt is becoming very interesting and
important one. From its present scarcity its
value has become greatly enhanced, and it now
readily commands from 81 to $3.50 per sack.
THE GATHERING RAM.
The New Orleans battering ram, which
is to destroy the blockading squadron at

MUST TAKE THE OATH OF ALLEGIANCE.
The city of Chicago has recently passed
the following ordinance:
That any citizen of the United States who is
now or may hereafter become an inhabitant of
this city, who is not ready to take the oath of
allegiance to the Government of the United
States. be and is hereby requested to leave the
city Immediately, and that the Citizens Union
Defence Committee be requested to investigate
and ascertain with regard to the views of any
suspected individual, and request that they
shall take such oath, and in case of refusal to
publish the names of such persons in the daily
papers of the city, and report the same to this
council at its first meeting after such fact is
ascertained.

The Naval Victory.

The Importance of the position achieved
by the capture of the two forts at the out
side of the inlet commanding Albemarle
Sound, is not fully realized. Small vessels
were engaged in Albemarle and Pamlico
Sound, and the rivers tributary, and until
now the rebels have had an uninterrupted
navigation from Norfolk, via. Dismal
Swamp and two canals of six feet depth,
for some 22O miles down the shore. This
will now meet with stoppage, and will
eventually cut them off from Norfolk in
that direction. it will be very likely to
draw off troops from Richmond, or at all
events keep the interior of North Carolina,
South Carolina and Virginia in turmoil
of excitement.

The Dawn of Love.

II is said il graIc vine be planted in
the neigh5orhood Of a well, its roots run.
ming silently under the ground. wrealhe
themselves in n network around the cold,
clear waters and the vines pui,ingo on outer
grernness and unwonted clusters and fruit
is all that tells where every root and fibre
of It's being has been silently stealing
So lLose loves arc most fatal, most ab.
sorbing, in which, with unheeded quiet,
ness, every thought and fiber Of our lives
twines gradually around some human soul
TO us the unsuspecting well.spring Of our
being. Fearful il is, because SO often
the vine must be uprooted, and all ii.
iibrcs wrencbed away ; bat ill the hour
of discovery comes. how is it transfg'
ured by new and beautiful lie There
is nothing in life more beautiful than that
trance.like, quiet dawn which precedes
the rising OF love in the soul. When the
whole being is pervaded ;mpercepiibly
and TRANQUILITY by another being, and We
are happy. we know no! and ask not why,
the soul is then receiving all and asking
nothing. AT later day it becomes self
conscious, and then come craving exac
tions, endless questions-the whole worC
of the material comes in with lis counsel'
and consultation. and the beautiful franc,
fades forcver.-Harriet Beecher ,Stowe.

The Monster Cannons of England and
America.

The London Army and Navy Register
describes tho new American principle OF
clstipg guns hollow, and cooling them by
means OF current of water through the
interior. 1t considers that this invention has
introduced now era in tho casting of large
iron cannon, and il describes the monster
l5-iDch gun which was cast at Fort Pit
Foundry, Pittsburg, and now mounted at
Fortress Monroe.
The largest piece OF ordnance hitherto
made in England is called tho "Horsefall
Gun" which is mounted at South Sea Castle,
Portsmouth. 1t weighs % tuns, and throws
a solid shot of $50 lbs. 1t has been tested
with charges of so Tbs. of powder, and l3O
rounds have been fired. Al l8 deg. elevation,
its range was 5000 yards. 1t was cast in
the old way, and is unmistakably inferior to
the American gun, inasmuch as crack
about three inches in length has already
been formed iE it's chamber. The American
gun has already fired 800 rounds, and the
most delicate tests have failed to detect the
slightest arrangement in it.
| Rodmans perforated cake powder, which
is used for American artillery, is much su-
peror to the English powder. 1t starts the
shot more gently, and tho tendency to
burstiDg is therefore not so imminent. With
40 lbs. of powder as a charge, the initial
velocity o: the shot of the American gun wal
found to DO 1928 feet per second; and the
greatest range attained at an elevation o.
2s deg. was 8 ,73o yards, the shot being 42s
lbs. SO far as We know, the American "grea
gun" is the greatest gun in the world. Il !
true there are some old-fashioned Turksl
cannon at Constantinople which can thro'
shot of ZOO lbs. weight, but the charge @
powder which thoy can take is 40 smsll tina
no vessel passing tho forts at 500 yards dil
tance would receive much harm from then
A single shot from the American gun q
Fortress Monroe, striking an iron-frigatt
would mako IL reel as II Il had received th
concentrated kick Of 81, coo horses.

Natural Barometer.

Tho spider, saws an cmi.tont naturalist, is
almost universally regarded with disgust and
abhorrence; yet. aftor all, it is ono OF the
most interesting, if not tho most usoful, OF
tho insect tribe. Since tho days of Robert
Bruce, it has been celebrated as model
of perseverance,, while in industry and in.
gonuity il has no rival among insects. But
tho most extraordinary fact 10 tho natural
history of this insect, is the remarkable pre-.
sentiment il appears to have of an approach.
ing change in tho weather. Barometers, at
best, only forotell the state of the weather
with certainty for about twenty four hours
and they are frequently very falliblo guides
particularly when they point to settled fd,r
But we may bo sure that tho weathor will
DO fine twelve or fourteen days, when the
spider makes tho principal threads of bis
web worry long. This insect. which is ono OF
the most economical animals, does not com.
menco a work requiring such great length
of threads, which it draws out of its body
unless the state Of the atmosphere indicates
with certainty that this groat expenditure
will not be made in vain. Let the weather
be ever SO bad, We may conclude with Ger.
tainty that il will soon change to be settled
fair when wo see tho spider repair tho DANA
ees which his web has received. II is OBJ
yious how important this iniallible indication
of tho state of tho weather must be in many
instances, particularly to the agriculturist
