Here are the concessions we are In favor Of,

compact between States. ,s.t
g. We want them to concede that State
cannot dissolve its connection with this Union
at its own pleasure.
2. We want them to concede that this Gov.
ernment has q right to enforce its laws, and pro-
tect its property. JSl.1 1Al.
A. We want them to concede that 1t is the
duty of this Government to retake from South
ern traitors its stolen forts and arsenals.
S. We want them to concede that Old Abt
was constitutionally elected, and bad q right t.
take his seat. ~. .,.,,.. .,,.
6. We want them to concede that the seeded
States have violated the Constitution, and
while they are in armed rebellion against III
authority, It is the duty Of this Government tc
put that rebellion down. aa
z. We want them to concede that the taking

General Banks.


The Salem (Mass) Gazette, speaking Of the
appointment Of Gen. BANKS, uenturss to say as
follows. The Gazette is a Republican paper
We mention this fact for the reason that, II Q
Democratic paper should so speak, it might bt
called "giviDg aid and comfort to the enemy
"He cannot possibly be ct to lead an army
into an enemy's country, or to conduct 1t to the
best advantage through the perils of field oi
battle. A combination of bravery, enterprise
and sagacity has often carried q partisan officer
honorably through desperate adventures. But
war upon large scale is founded upon science,
and the army which Is placed In the field under
a raw and inexperienced commander-howeveI
brightly he may have shown In other spheres
In opposition to troops commanded by an expe-
rienced and well taught oficer-must of neces-
sity be defeated unless 1t excels its opponent In
some element Of strength. The difference in
commanders alone is sufficient TO turn the scale
against 1t. 1t would be far less risky to place o
chip under command of an inexperienced lands
man, or to make an ignoramus college pro
fessor, than to place an army under the com
mand of the best Governor that ever ruled q
State, II he knew nothing Of the theory and
practice of war" ., III.

Trials of Riflcd Arms.
RIFLED CANNON AT PROVIDENCE

The Providence (R. | Journal says;
ave have obtained from Mr.. W.. s.. Haines
the ranges Of the shot which was fred on Mon.
day from the rifed cannon Of the marine Bate
ry. The pieces were on the bank at the Marx
Rock shore, and we're pointed so as to allow the
range of the balls to be exactly measured'-
Two shots were fred point blank, aud ranged
respectively 1880 and 1,64O feet. The difer-
ence In range was owing to the different kinds
Of powder used. Coarse powder was used the
first time, new article manufactured by Col
A. G. Hazard, Enfield, CT, and just introduced
It ia much coarser than any heretofore manu-
factured, not being granulated as usual, pu1
suffered to remain in lumps varying In size from
q pea to an ounce musket ball The second
time powder of the common kind was used,
and did not prove equal to the coarse, the bal
falling short 100 feet. This experiment would
seem 10 indicate that coarse powder possesses
the most power over projectile.
"Other shots were fred at different eleVa
tions. At one degree range ct ,6OU feet wal
obtained; at two degrees, 1866; at three, ,6UU
at four, 4,4o0; at Ave, 500, at six, 5,90O; o.
seven, $500. The last but one fell short, oW'
ing to an undercharge Of powder.
"Shells were also thrown into the water Il
test their explosiyeness. Some ten were thrown
and not one missed. They exploded the instan
they struck the water, and in few seconds al
ter the fragments could be seen falling into thu
water for considerable distance around. Tit
quantity Of powder used was the regulation
charge, a pound and q quarter. One shell wa'
fred at the greatest elevation of the gun, ~
range was more than two miles. II exploded
as readily as the others, and was heard distinct
". A range was taken at distant object tt
see II the shell varied to the right or lett. II
fell exactly In the line of sight, proving that the
riled gun, as constructed by General James
carries its missiles with most remarkable ac-
curacy." tNA.n D. n. "

Jeaiousy, Mufdef and auIcide.
We learn, throughSa private source, that
tcrrlble tragedy occurred In Exeter, Otsego
county, on TUESDAY morning Of last week. The
pnrties we're man named Levi Thomas and
Bis vita They we're hstivos Of Exeter, we be
iieye, and we're married there hfteen or six
teen years ago. They had recently returned
from Ohio, bringing with them two Of their
three children-girls twelve and fourteen years
of age. 0nthe morning IN question, these girls
were awakened by their father, who came INTO
their room. He kissed them both, and spoke Of
two men who he said owed him small sums oil
two and three dollars each; after which he re-
turned TO the chamber where Mrs. Thomas was
sleeping, and stepped on the foot of the bed,
whence he deliberately fred one shot at her
head from revolver, The ball grazed her
cheek, and she sprang up and grappled him az
he was preparing to fire second time. The
little girls, alarmed at the noise, jumped out ol
bed and entered the room In time to see him gel
their mothers head between. his knees, and
shoot her through the back. He then released
her and she turned ovW, when he shot her agar
In the breast. Immediately afterward he placed
the muzzle Of the pistol at his left ear, and sho
himself through the head. He died immediate
ly, but his unfortunate wife fingered about hal
an hour ,.,,.- 81.
The cause Of this dreadful affair is suppose'
to have been Jealousy. Thomas was a man Q
suspicious disposition, and was always dis
posed to doubt his wife's chastity, though b
everybody else she was believed to be innocen
Of any disloyalty to him, even, in thought
Both were members Of respectable familief
and occupied respectable, stations in society
The occurrence created intense excitement

Testlmonal to Douglas.

Two different projects for paying respect to
the memory of the late Senator Douglas are be-
fore the public One, originating at Washing
ton, proposes to erect splendid monument over
his mortal remains; the other, emanating from
Chicago, and indorsed by the most eminent
citizens of Illinois. without distinction Of party,
proposes to provide by National subscription
for the maintenance in comfort Of his widow
and children. We need hardly say that, while
we condemn neither, the latter commends itself
to our Judgment as by far the most important
and pressing. We could wish that they had
been presented as inseparable the fret $780,.
900 raised to be appropriated to the support Of
Mrs. Douglas and the orphans; the residue to
be devoted TO the erection ofa monument. But
we care little as to the order of proceedings OBJ
served 30 that the ends be secured. Mr.. Doug.
las might have left bis family rich had be
made that the business of his life: be devoted
the whole of bis maturity to public ends, and,
dying at 48, left his family utterly destitute.
We say nothing of charity; we plead for simple
Justice to the bereaved and suffering. The time
and energies that fairly belonged to them were
required by the public, and he gave them with
out stint; now let them be fairly compensated
You who were eternally writing, telegfaphing
sending messengers to Mr.. Douglas TO hasten
this way and that to make speeches, you who
we're enriched by the Illinois Central and kind
red public works which he did so much TO carry
through, you who we're perpetually importuning
Stephen A. Douglas to do this and that for the
public good and your own, just put your hands
in your pockets for the whereWitbal to head
subscription lists In your several neighborhoods
and ask the rich and generous to emulate your
example; you who love the whole country more
than any section, claas or party, remember that
was Mr.. Douglass spirit, and that no man was
more prompt, more hearty, or more effective in
producing that majestic uprising for the Stars
and Stripes directly after the fall of Sumter,
which history will linger oves as forming one
of the brightest pages in the annals Of our coun
try and our century. Remember that Chief
Justice John d. Cotton, Ottawa, III is the
General Treasurer of the Douglas Fund, but
let responsible local committees be everywhere
appointed, and let such arrangements be made
that those who love the memory Of Douglas, yet
cannot afford to give dollars, may have the
satisfaction Of contributing thei. mites to an OBJ.
ject which must have been nearest to the heart
Of the dying patriot.-N. Y. Tribune.
