rIS' Az ENGINE or WAR-There has lately
oeen on exhibition IN Baltimore q new gun.
or movable fortress, styled by the inventor
p.ckinsob's Peace Maker. Il is ceptricu-
gal gun throwing from one hundred to five
huudred balls per minute, Of from one ounce
TO tweuty-four pounds. he gun is worked
wholly by steam, neither powder nor caps
beng used, and is certainly a very terrible
engine OF war. 1t was in operation on
Thursday OF last week for the purpose Of
exhibiting lie powers to a number Of military
officers, all OF whom declared it a powerful
asd destructive weapon. 1t is movable, can
be Pot in readiness for action 10 few minutes
and easily worked by four men, who, as we'll
as the machine, are safely esconced behind an
imprsgnable steel armor. 1t 10 certainly a
great curiosity, and worthy the attention Of
those interested in gunnery.

ES SFR!NG ELECTIoN.-An election for
township and borough officers in this county,

fered through unqualified and negligent local
officers. In this borough, BurgesSes Coun.
ciimen, Clerk, Constables, Assessors, School
Directors, Oyerseers Of the Poor, Street
Commissioners, Judge of Elections and In.
spectors are to be chosen, and we hope to see
good men of public spirit aud enterprise Sc
lected for the various Offices, regardless Of
party prejudice, which ha. been'too frequently
tho case in our local elections.

The official correspondence in relation to
foreign affairs, between the State Depart-

and the instru ,tions given to the Ministers
have been published. The answers of the
Ministers generally state that they do not
think the governments to which they are
accredited will recognize the Southern Con-
federacy, and, in Prussia, Belgium, France
and Spain, no applications have been made
for recognition. Mr.. Adams, the Minister
to England, was instructed particularly to
state the views of the United States Govern
ment in relation to the recognition. Mr.
Adams. in his interview with Lord John
