THE BRIG John BELL.-We are informed, through
private source, that this brig, which sailed from
this port about six months ago for the Coast of AT
rca, captured on the 1st April on the south
side of Cuba, Cienfuegos, by Spanish war
steamer. She had on board, when taken, about
four hundred Africans, having lost some eighty
two the passage. The officers and crew were
finally taken to Havana after landing at several
places, and we believe that most of them have been
set at liberty.-Chdrlest Bercury april "a.

H0WITZERS.
Howitzers pieces of ordnance of medium
length between the cannon and mortars, used for
throwing shells or large balls at point-bank range,
or at a small elevation They are usually made of
brass. The first howitzer said to have been in
vented by Bedor, in Germany, and used at
the seige of Ath in 1897. Howitzers range as 80,
a. IL and FOUNDERS the latter size being used for
light batteries in field service. There are also and
l%-pounders, light pieces which are very effective
in a mountainous billy country, and are called
mountain howitzers They can be transported by
drag ropes or pack the backs of mules, so
light is their construction. Grape and small shot
are used in them to defend mountain passes. They
were very effective in the last with Mexico, and
Lieut.. Reno, of the Ordnance Department, used
them with great success. A 32pound howitzer re-
quires 81 pounds of powder for charge; "a
pound howitzer ~ pounds; 12pound howitzer
IL pound, and a 6-pounder or 10 ounces to a
charge Howitzers are used more for firing shell
than the mortar and the United States army are
provided with large number of seige hOwitzers, a
very heavy gun.
CARRoNADEs.
Carronades are short howitzers first cast at the
Carron works, from which they first derived their
names. Workmen first employed on these
guns about the year 1779. They were mostly used on
shipboard and are now abandoned for guns of a
more recent construction.

Guiding the same two months siuce.
The proceedings in secret session were or

portion of the proceedings OF the secret session
having at length comc into cur rpsSession, we
commence their publication to-day, and shall
get through with them in tie course OF lew
weeks. Our readers will find the general pro-
ceedines Of the Convention in secret session
deeply interesting, and ii would be we'll 10 pre-

here Yesterday from Baltimore, states that On
Thursday there were fifteen Federal war vcS'

were expected in few days 1t is supposed
by some persons, that these vessels are intend
ed to convey to its destination the long gtalkr''

Another gentleman just from Baltimore,
states that Lord Lyons had left the Yankee
capital and taken up his residence in Mrs.
Wilson'S house in Baltimore, near tho WASH
ington Monument. Secretary Seward, it Is
said, had caused Lord Lyons's dispatches to be
opened, under the belief that they contained
some Southern letters or information, which it
was deemed advisable to withhold; hence tho
departure of Lord Lyons to the Monumental
City. If this rumor is correct, the most LII.
portant results may be expected to follow.

composed in good parts of seditious and
insubordinate elements of Northern So
ciety, Of which good soldiers can never
be made; and withal it is in the main
unarmed, unequipped, and unprovided
for, and SO unfit for service, and capable
only of draining the Golfers of the North
ern government and increasing the taxes
on Northern trade and business.
But finding the South not only not
frightened, but more determined, Abe
Lincoln has called out eighty three
thousand more men, making total of
one hundred and fifty eight thousand
now ordered into thesfield. And this call
will, we havn't the slightest doubt, be
promptly met, the men called for will be
rendered to the government; and one
hundred and fftycight thousand troops
will be maintained by the administration
as long as the means can be obtained, at
the rate of not less than t,oenty- fire MIL
lions Of dollars month, or about three
HUNDRED millions Of dollars gear.
And this is to them a matter of ne
cessity.
The South must be subiugated, and
the Southern people compelled to buy
Northern manufactures so as to give work
to the hundreds of thousands now out Of
employment in the Free States; or the
Southern people must be wiped from
the face of the earth, and their property
divided among this class of Northern
people; or the mob spirit, generated by
the teachings Of political orators, Of
preachers, and of the press, and encour-
aged by State aud national authorities,
and which already silences and overrides
the laws of the land, will eliminate in a
re-enactment of the scenes of the French
Revolution.
1t seems to US, that while the South
are in no danger of being "wped out, +"
the North are on the verge of bankruptcy
and irretrievable ruin.
To remove the mob from their doors,
Northern millionaires will contribute
while they can, or until they can get
away from danger but three hundred or
three hundred and fifty millions u year
cannot be long sustained BY them; and
the government has scarcely another re-

This is the idea Of the administration
1t thinks the slave States and the peo-
pie Of the slave States can be wiped
out"--the very boundary lines Of the one
obliterated, aud the homes and the pro-
Perfy Of the other apportioned out among
the Northern Vandals. who are lured to
their destruction by the satanic appeals
Of Northern demagogues!
This was the idea when Abraham Lin
coin usurpcd the powers coufdcd to Con
gress BY the Constitution he had sworn
to protect and preserve, and violated the
laws he was under oath TO execute, in
calling out seventy FIVE thousand voun-
tecrs to "hold, occupy ard possess" the
forts and other public property in the
Confederate States.
1t was vainly hoped that such an army
would Brighten the South into abiect
submission.
1t was vainly and foolshly hoped that
this setting the foot down firmly" would
intimidate millions of freemen, whose
ancestors fought at Yorktown, the Cow
pens, Eutaw, Ninety six, and at Charles
ton, in the war Of Independence, into a
surrender Of their birth-right and inner
itancc
This tyrannical exercise Of usurped
power was approved by the people of the
North, and the troops" nlilitia"-called
for, we're soon offered. But the South
manifested no disposition to fly the field
On the contrary, Virginia at once cast
her lot with the new Confederacy. and
North Carolina, Tennessee, aud Arknn-
sas gave notice Of their going. Ken.
tucky, Missouri and Maryland, VIC be-
lieve, will soon be by the side Of their
Southern sisters.
The militia responded, and seventy
five thousand men were mustered into
the United States service, but tie south
ern people were not "scorcd."
And, indeed, we arc inclined to think
they have little cause Of alapai.

to the United States than TO the Confed-
crate States.

Obey orders.--Advice to Volunteers.
The Mobile Tribune publishes letter
written by gentleman of Alabama to
his son, young volunteer, which con-
tains some good advice. We quote:
In the first place, then, my son,
when soldier shoulders his rife under
the flag of his country, be must surren-
der to that country his will, his whims,
tastes, fancies and prejudices; and the
first, highest and most solemn duty he
owes TO that country is tho most implicit
and prompt obedience to the orders of
his superiar officers. Disobedience, even
IN matters Of minor gravity frequently
forfeits life. If an order is issued, that
must be the end Of inquiry. The sue
cess of battle or campaign may depend
upon the concealment Of the purposes of
the command and it may become ne
cessary to punish with death an omission
to observe that which may seem to be
very unimportant order to the soldier,
who does not understand it.
Napoleon once issued an order that
the lights Of the camp must DO cxtin-
guishcd ut s O'clock, and on seeing
light burning in the tent of IN officer,
after that hour had elapsed, he repaired
thither in person, and entered the tent
just as the officer had finished writing
his wifes name on the back Of letter
he had written to her He told the EN-
peror he had unconsciously violated the
law for one moment, and it was done in
the enthusiasm of affection, with which
he had been overcome by thoughts of
home. 'Unseal that letter. said the
Emperor, and write as | dictate The
officer obeyed, and wrote as follows p.
81 die tomorrow morning, at eight
o'clock, for violating the laws Of the
camp, by not extinguiSbing the light ia
my tent at the precise time was com.
manded to do it,
That decision may have seemed saw
age and barbarous, but when your intel
ect shall have matured to the compre-
tension of how much depends upon sub
ordination and q rigid adherence to tho
laws OF the camp. you will see that Ma
poleon could only be just to the thousands
of lives under his care by assuming the
appearance of cruelty to this one della
quent.
obedience is not servility--itis duty.
1t is, therefore. not cowardly, but hon
orable. Tho camp is no place fer tho
soft manners of the drawing-room, and
soldiers are proverbally blunt; therefore.
do not imagine il an officer speaks sharp
ly to you that he wants to insult you or
