GEN. MANsFIELD.-Gen. Joseph K. F. Mans. field, of Connecticut, who has been placed in command of the troops in the city of Washing. ton, is native of Middletowu, where his fami. ly now reside. He graduated at West Point, and entered the army as Lieut.. of Military En. gineers, in which capacity he was acting at the commencement of the Mexican war. As soon as the invasion of Texas was threatened bv Mexico, he was ordered to post opposite Met. amoras, where Fort Brown now stanus, and sr. perintended the construction of that work, ..,d was present and assisting in it's defence, when the gallant Major Brown fell For his gallant " he received promotion; and on the arrival of Gen. Taylor, with his victorious little army, he joined it. and pushed on to Monterey, where he was foremost in the sanguinary fight of Gen. Buffers division, in the streets of that city. Jeff Davis, Jack Hayes, and Ben McCulloch, were all in the same battle. In that battle, Capt Mansfield was severely wounded, but neverthe- less pushed on with Gen. Taylor to Saltillo, and thence to Buena Vista, where his advice was adopted in the selection of the position where that memorable battle was fought, and where he was indefatigable in experimenting the plant ing of batteries, and conveying orders from one portion of the field to another; and when tue last stand was made by the gallant Capt. Bragg, Mansfield was by his side to aid and encourage him. These are some few of Gen. Mans6eld's antecedents as an officer. As man, he is enli- nently above reproach.

A NEW AND WONDERFUL G6N.-A MT. Mo Carty has invented new and powerful gun, which is capable of sending four hundred and eighty balls minute without the use of powder
 The experiment was made few days since with great success, at the foot of Jhirty-Third street
 New York. The gun used is three feet long
 with bore of one inch. The gun is att ;ched to a wheel about four feet in diameter, and not ov e, fourinches thick, looking like balance wheel On one side of this wheel is tube which connects the wheel with hopper, in which are poured the balls in promiscuous manner, the machine " inside of this wheel receiving the balls, carry ing them around to the gun barrel, and throw ing them through the bore of the gun at the rate mentioned above, simply by the centrifugal force. The motion of this wheel is kept up by means of cranks attached to cog wheels, above five set in the rear of the wheel. The balls used were one inch in size. The machinery worked by six men at the cranks as motive power, one as feeder, pouring the balls into the hopper, and the inventor of the gun in the rear of al[ taking aim and shifting the gun at will from one direc- tion to another. The balls when directed at target fifty yards off, pierced three thickness ,e' boards, It was also tried at long dist>tS"s' and the balls were thrown about one miI.nn 'ne Hudson River by centrifugal force, Ms I to rangement of the machinery.

A MILITARY pAssAqE ~ THE HOUSE.

II the Editor Of the Wig:
On vest rday, in the House of Delegates, very ex-
citing passage at occurred between Col Crump OF
Holloway and Col Gibson of Jefferson, on the passage
of bill TO pay certain parties 500 for arrestng three
-4groes who had escaped V. tue ..unenburg Jail, while
condemned 10 he hung. Col Gibson attacked the bill as
one possessing no merit and charged Col Crump with
voting against bill for the benefit OF soldier taken
sick a, the BaFpsrs Ferry raid which had merit in it,
which he surprised st. from the fact that the gentle
man from Nottoway was military IaeG, end aspred to
higher military honOrs This latter portion OF his re-
marks being regarded personal and altogether foreign
to the ISSUE WAS responded to by CPL Grump in spirit
ed manner, which very much enjoyed by tue mem
bers generally. Col Crump said the gentleman from
Jefferson at the head of 1000 men soon after the
breaking of the Harpers Ferry raid, and could not
take 10 men without calling for aid from abroad at a
cost of nearly half million Of dollars, while two of his
constituents had taken three desperate negroes, con-
demued to be hung, sad only asked the piiiul sum OF
800 for said service.
Notwithstanding the attack on the bill from the gem
tesan Of Jefferson Col Crump carried it trumphanty.
