TIE PLOT KENTUCKY.

We have not a doubt that the plan of tht
disunion party of the state is to gather &
| large force at Frankfort as secretly as pos
sible, take the State Arsenal, with all the
| cannon, arms and ammunition, tear up the
railroad, cut the telegraph wires and forcl
the legislature to obey their will
This i3 the sort Of work that was done al
Richmond in Virginia. The capitol. IN
which the Convention was in session. was
surrounded by mob of ten thousand men,
headed by desperate leaders, it and would have
proceeded to actual physical violence if the
leaders OF the Convention had not given
their solemn pledge that the Convention
would pass q secession ordinance within
forty>eight hours.
We may have chance to see whether the
programme so summarily executed at Rich
mond can be executed at Frankfort. Things
VIII certainly look very red there first.
On Monday last, at Blandville, in Ballard
County, 1t being County Court day, a meet
ing was held and delegates were appointed
to assemble in Mayfeld for the purpose of
devisinE means Of taking that portion of
Kentucky south Of the Cumberland River,
out of the United States and attaching it to
the Confederate States.
At that meeting, Capt. Bowmln. who
raised company in this state ana took 1t

HOW RIFLED CANNON ARE MADE
NANUIACTCRE or RIFLE ORDNANCE At PHuNIx-
VILE, PA.
From the Philadelphia Bulletin. ]

Notwith landing the request Oh the gov
ernment to the press, and the disposition OF
all true patriots TO keep quiet in order
that the operations t. put down rebellion
may be successfully carriGd through. still
the great Yankee nation would often 'ius.''
like to know what is going On. We arc
quite sure that it will not interfere with the
plans of the government, while it will afford
satisfaction 20 many OF our readers, to say
that large number Of splendid rled can
non are being made at PhWnIxvillc, in this
State, and tHat three hundred of them will
be ready for service in seventy days. Tue
first instalmcnts, Of five day, Of the above
number will be ready for delivery in about
ten days, and at the expiration of the time
mentioned the contract will be entirely filled.
A hasty visit yesterday to the works gave us
a slight insight to the intricate operation OF
making rifed cannon.
Mr.. Griffin, who has been for a long pc
riod connected with the Phoenix works, is
the inventor Of the gun now making at this
establishment. About seven hundred men
are employed, aud with few exceptions the
entire force is at work in the various branches

state, before it will break all the brittle
composition has been removed by the severe
fiery ordeal it has been repeatedly subjected
to. The proper material being secured, the
first process in the formation OF the gun is
rolling out the iron into strips seven feet
long, three-fourths OF an inch thick and two
inches wide for the bore. These strips are
concaye on the external surface, and convex
on the internal side, SO that they will tit
closely together on an iron cylinder three
inches in diameter.
The cylinder being placed in the sockets
of two large wheels, the strips arc placed in
position longitudnally with 1t, This forms
the bore Of the gun. \ fifty feet piece Of
fat iron, two inches wide, is then drawn out
of the furnace, the iron at white heat, and
it is coiled around the cylinder in this condi
dition, running obllquely off at the end
This process Is repeated till six layers are
rolled on, when the piece resembles in ap-
pearance large roll OF oil cl1ti more than
it does cannon, even in the inciplent state
of the latter. This roll, which is now about
twelve inches IN diameter, barrelled up with
number OF the narrow strips longitudinal
ly till the outer surface hides the coli. re-
minds one oi the accounts We have read
of the first guns made of wooden .stayes and
hoopcd With iron. and used at Creesy by the

they proved more fatal to the English than
to those against whom they were employed.

rollers, where it is manipulated, until all It's

mlnutest aperture or flaw being discerna-
be; 1t Is then Impressed between two RAM
merS to shorten it d little; then a cutting
machine is called into requisitlon to mould
the breach, and taper of the superhuous
IRON at the muzzle, and not until this fourth
operation is employed can we discover any
resemblance in the welded mass to u cannon.
The gun is then removed to an oven to re-
celve the trunnions, or arms The .triunnions
are welded IN at white heat Of the metal this
being the fifth and last of the fiery ordeals it
is subjected to- The piece is next placed on
an inclined plane and taken into the boring
room, and placed on a lathe. Here per-
manent drill of the requisite size is fixed and
the gun is made to reyolve steadily until the
''bore" is completed, ard the piece becomes
hollow cylinder for the first time. In the
same shop the turning or finishing of the ex
ternal surface OF the weapon Is performed.
In the boring room we saw a curled Shaving
produced by the bit seventeen feet long,
showing the iron is pure.
Inc IaSt oI the processes, sand one IN
which we take much interest, is the rihlng,
which is performed in shop specially APP
propriatcd for that purpose. \ lathe of the

The Ssqkcri seems to think Il can make

I ours concerning the " worthy Iiibernians -
who participated in the caucus, last we,h.
OF course it does not quote our words, but
by taking up and amplilying the Times per
version Of our remark, it makes out a grave
offtnce ON our part. We dared, it seems, to
allude, in a single sentence, to some worthy
Hibcrnians.' Awful, wasn't it? Now
then we have only to say that when we said
. worthy, we meant it. They are most of
them worthy and honest fellows, which is
more than can be said Of those who seem to
think the lrishmen are their peculiar prop
erty. They are, too, in most cases intelli-
gent enough to know that we have in.

considered all prctcnccs of compromise to
