The Ordnance Bureau has Just adopted a new
twelve-puuuder rifled gun, of very singular pat
tern, aud ordered the immediate construction of a
considerable number at the Fort Pitt Works The
pattern, while OF somewhat SINS Her bore than
tho old style twelve FOUNDER is nearly as long as
an eight-inch gun The gun will be eleven feet in
extreme length sixteen inches thick at the breech
and nine INCHES at the muzzc. The bore will be
four and half inches in diameter, and one hundred
and twenty inches long, having nine grooves, with
a regular twist, turning in fifteen feet The
finished gun will be very singulac-looking affair,
and if rifing is of any practical value will certain

An order has Just been received by the Fort Pitt

teen inches in diameter. For the purpose of fixing
the line OF elevation they are furnished on one side
of the base, with heavy rack, and on the cylin-

About O'Clock last evening Detectives McCOTd
and Showey arrested man named Harren, at the
Jersey City ferry, in company with his two sisters,
who about to leave in the night express train
for Pittsburg, route for Galena Ga. narrel, it
s alleged, is a strong secessionist, and has only
been in the city about three weeks. He came pas
seuger on the Arrowsmth yesterday morning from
Glen Cove, where his two sisters have been attend
ing school, and while on the way to the city made
DoIa 10 express sentiments against the North, and
declared himself a strong seceSSonist. Quite a
number OF the passengers became enraged at the
man, and it was at one time thought that he would
be thrown overbnard; but be finally ouieted down
and on the arrival of the boat suddenly disappeared
1t is said that the only thing that saved him from
the hands of several Union men was that he had
with him bis two sisters. The facts becoming known
to the above officers the arrival of the boat they
kept r close watch On some of his baggage, which
consisted of five of elarges size travelling trunks.
They first conveyed to store in South street
and thence to place in Maiden lane, and finally to
the Jersey City ferry. Here the officers waited
until the above hour last evening, when Harrell
made his appearance, and was Immediately taken
into custody and conveyed to the police headquar-
ters. What the trunks contain is yet mystery,
but Harrell acknowledged that he was from Geor-
gia and was on his way back when arrested. His
two sisters were very much alarmed at his arrest
but they, however, returned with their brother,
and finally left to remain with some friends in
Brooklyn.
An investigation to-day will no doubt disclose
whether Harrell will be required at Fort Lafayette
or not.
A person named Patrick, Wall street banker, was

We are in dangerous position. With the sus-
pension of habeaS corpus comes the terrible detec
tive system, constructed with all its powerful
engineery of evil as well as good; dreadful mid
night surveillance, whose history must be read by
all with shudder. The liberty of the citizen may
perish under such guardianship. Let beware,

If we must arrest our country let bewail

a CHANCE for General RrVfIpr

The naval expedition which sailed from Fortress
Monroe continues to be an object of curiosity. its
war took with them in tow several hulks for the
purpose of sinking them in the entrances to the in
let's the North Carolina coast, so as to prevent
the ngress egress of the privateers, and thus to
deprive them Of the power of taking in their prizes
or of finding shelter for themselves when pursued
by our armed vessels. Beyond this at present we
are not permitted to be specific in our statements
as to the objects of the expedition. We may, how
ever, say that the sinking of the hulks is not the
only object, and that our readers will probably soon
learn that series of naval op rations all along tho
Atlantic coast, for which the public have so anxi-
ousiy looked, will have been this week inaugurated
And we may further state that some hard fighting
may be expected, and if the expedition should be
v5ry successful, the infantry troops sent out will
not return with the squadron. General Butler will
have opportunity of distinguishing himself and
elTacing the unpLaasant memory Of Big Bethel.

the forfeit of his life. On the way he supped at

his men with him guide. The two, after a
while, fell in with three four persons, who said
they were Union men, and volunteered to accom-

We are glad to hear, says the Richmond Er-
ominer, that steps are being taken by the Navy De-
partment to construct suitable vessels of light
draught for purposes of river ard harbor defence.
1t is bearable to have ports blockaded By ves-
sells like the Brooklyn, Wabash and Niagara, b.
cause we have no means to prevent it; but to have
such small craft as the Yankee, Kesoiute, and
Philadelphia Iceboat, prowling through our rivers
and lowering about our harbors is iusupportable,
as they might be easily taken Or DESTROYED. We
have some two three hundred accom- plished
naval officers in the Confederate service; we have
various points at the South where efficient vessels
Of small draught and size could be fitted out; and
we have plenty of enterprisng 'tars" to man them.
Such being the case, it is surprising that have
submitted so long to the nuisance of having our
harbors visited and menaced by the enemy's small
fry shipping.
