GADIoNs.-A large number ofgabiops are
making. Many of your readers may not
have distinct idea OF gabion. Let them
imagine, then, an immense basket, six or
eight feet in diameter, and eight or ten feet
high, without bottom. They are made
usually of small alders, or other flexible
wood. Grape vines are often used. When
it is desirable to make a fortifcation in a
hurry, several of them are placed in line and
filed with sand, and well rammed down.
With gsbions, squad of men in a few min
utes will be able to shelter themselves from
the epemys fire. Your readers may draw
their own interences from the fact, whether
or not movement is intended. 1t has been
said that this was to be an artillery war, and
the construction of these baskets gives cfe-
dence to the assertion. Suppose, under cover
Of night, corps of sappers and minersshould
drive in the enemy's pickets in front Of an
important position, within artillery distance
of it. Planting these baskets ID line, in q
half hour they could have sheltered battery
constructed, ready to pour its hail with the
first ray of morning light. With infantry at
hand for support, then would come the test
OF strength, not of men, but of artillery. The
best served pieces, if of superior weight, will
win the victory under such circumstances,

CONGREGATION at PiIteburE.
From the Pttsburg (Pa.) Chronicle, December 49,
The great mass of our people are innocent
of the knowledge that woman is now pas
tor of a small but growing congregation in
Piitsburg, and is discharging the duties of
the sacred Office with zeal and faithfulness
worthy of imitation. We refer to Mrs.
3eecher, of the Winebrenarian Church.
Two months since this lady aud few of her
followers rented the old Asbury Chapel, ON
Townsend street. near Colwell street, Sixth
Ward, for the purpose of establishing a con-
gregation of their peculiar faith in this city.
Meetings have been held every evening, for
preaching, prayer and praise, and large audi
enees have generally attended, moved more
by curiosity, however, than by any other
feeling. .-
The labors of the pastor have not been
without their reward, for we are informed
| that she has now between thirty and forty
| Communicates. A gentleman from the East
ern part of this State, named Hickerwell, as
sists Mrs. Beecher in her aTduous labors.
The Winebrenarians are little known; but,
| though small in numbers, they are still en-
| titled, we suppose, to recognition as one OF
! the many divisions into which the Christian
| Church is unhappily sundered. Their doc
| trines do not differ materially from other
! evangelical denominations. In worship they
resemble the Methodists, but in church gov
eminent and discipline the Winebrenarians
are different from all Others, in their leaving
members generally to be governed by their
own consciences in judging what is right
and wrong. The prime distinction of this
denomination is their practice of washing
the feet before the pulpit, in the presence
of the whole congregation. This peculiar rite
they fnd ample warrant for in the holy
Scriptures, and it is administered at the gel
times appointed for the Lords Supper, the
women bathing the feet of their own sex
and the men doing the same.

MORALS IN THE ARMY.--A large and
deeply interesting meeting was held last
Sabbath. evening, in the Fourth-street Re.
formed Dutch Church (ReV. DR.. Porter's),
Williamsburg, under the auspices of the
American. Tract Society, withspecial refer
ing religious truth. A statement was made
by one of the Secretaries, showing that the
Society had expended $4,000 in supplying
the army and navy with their valuable pub
locations since the commencement of the
war. Many facts were given illustrating
their usefulness, and the sagerness With
which they were received by the soldiers,
cute their work. Addresses were delivered
by Colonel 7. B. Van Buren, Paymaster.
General Of New York; Rev. Mr.. Welles, and
Rev. Dr. McLane. The speakers all spoke
in the most emphatic terms of the value OF
this work.-M Y. Times.

r THE GOLD FIELDS OF Nova SooTTA.-The
Nes0foundlander, in noticing Mr.. Howe's Sec
ond letter on the gold fields, says that this
letter certainly contains statements of facts
which can leave no doubt that Nova Scotia
is to occupy prominent place in the category
of the worlds gold producing countries, and
that future of bright promise is opening up
for her." E.f 10 .a- . ~ ...
The Halifax Colonist says:
1--WE have just been shown the result of an
assay of Lunenburg gold made in London re-
Gently, from specimens forwarded by parties
in this city, who are concerned 10 claims at
the place named. Three different qualities
of quartz were analysed. One specimen
yielded fraction over sixty one ounces to
the tun a cheering prospect; but alas, the
next yielded trifle under one ounce to the

ounce" rr F. a..
One hundred and fifty bags ofsand were
taken to Halifax last week from the Lunen-

A letter from q gentleman residing in Up

WILLFORT SUMTER BE TAKEN

The Petersburg (va.) Express states that
1t. Meade, Of the engineer corps at Fort
Sumter, now at home on leave of absence,
asserts that Major ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS are
entirely with the South that he will per-
form his whole duty to the government ofthe
United States. but that he will OF the prop
er time and in an honorable manner draw
his sword in defense of the South, and that
he does not feel in the least complimented by
the fanatical cannon fred in his honor at the
North.
Similar statements have been made before.
1t may be possible that Major Anderson
intends to do bis military duty, and no more;
and that force will be gathered against
the Fort which will render it no breach OF
such duty for him to surrender, without
firing gun, though we do not
see how. If SO, we may hear that Fort
Sumter is in the hands of the rebels any day.
The following letter from Captain Double
day, now on duty in the Fort, does not look
much like surrender, however.
"FoRr SUMTER, Jan. 10, 1861.
While the leaders are becom-
ing more pacific the mob Is becoming more outra-
geous and ungovernable. l hear they
are loud in their threats against me. They say
the may be some excuse for the other officers, as
they are supposed TO be Southern men, perform
ing duty dissgreeable TO them. Some
influential Southern men have written to the Gov
ernor, understand, that his refusal to allow US
TO hold any Communication with the city, and his
interference With our mails, has made South Car
DINA enemies In other Southern States, and he ha.
been urged to relax this severity We have been
living on orr rations and few vegetables laid In
for Captain Fosters workmen who went away
and yet the Mercury has the unblushing impu-
dence to say in to-day paper we have been fed by
them. We have received no supplies Of any des-
cription from Charleston. with the single e1eep-
tion of the box Of candles you struggled over. If
Major Anderson 10 allowed the privilege Of con-
tracing for fresh meats as is done everywhere IN
the army, be will exercise that privilege but If
it is proposed az present from South Carolina,
he will not receive it.
The country people. who never saT gun or
fort who have no education, and own but little
property, are raYing mad to attack this fort
We NAV be too incredulous, but We feel no ap-
preheusion, and 90 not believe it can be taken
The mob are camorous TO attempt it, at the very
moment, as | said before, when the leaders would
rather hold off as the more polite course.
Day before Yesterday they landed two or three
mortars at Cummings' Point, the nearest point Of
land for attacking the fort.
There is not a particle Of truth in the story OF
the mutiny. 1t was started in Charleston TO In
duce the Cabinet to surrender the place. There
have been no men in the guard house for a long
time. The men are behaving admirably. They
are in good spirits, full Of fun and spelling for
fight As for surrendering under any circumstan-
ces they have never dreamed Of IT.

THE STATE OF KANSAS.

After a fiery trial such as preceded the ad-
mission Of no other State, KANSAS has passed
from It's territorial condition to that Of 4
STATE in the Union. The Missouri Com
promise line was broken down at the dicta-
ton of men who are now in active rebellion
against the L. s. Government, rebellion
which they had been plotting for years
Their purpose was to secure the establish
ment of slave States on the territory which
had been consecrated to freedom forever by
the most sacred obligations which the Gov
eminent could assume. To effect this pur-
pose, unnumbered wrongs and outrages were
perpetrated upon the free settlers of the new
Territory, to break down their stubborn love
for liberty and free government. The sto'
~ of those outrages will live on the histori-
ans page to blael en- with infamy forever the
names Of those who planned, who per
petrated, who encouraged, and who upheld
those atrocious proceedings.
Whatever right of deliberation and legisla-
ton was granted to the people Of the Terri
tory by the act OF Congress establishing the
Territory, was torn away from them by
armed villains from other States, who met
with encouragement and support from those
who by the most sacred obligations OF official
duty were bound to protect them and to
punish the guilty invaders. Their
dwellings were burned, their families
outraged, their men, young and old, were
murdered with IMMUNITY. Violence and
fraud strove to conquer them at the election
polls. By fraud a pro slavery Constitution
was framed for them, in dtfance Of the known
wishes Of an immense majority Of the People,
and the whole force Of Executive influence
was used to force that Constitution into pow
er over the People by means of Congressional
authority They were told, you can come
in as a slarery State, with a small poFu-
lation, and with large privileges. II you re-
fuse, you shall not come in, unless with 9
far greater population, and after an indef-
mite time Of further trial. But vio-
lence could not overpowcr them; fraud
and bribery could not corrupt them
suffering could not d:shearten them. They
held fast to their integrity, and waited till
the time of their deliyerance should come.
All hail to KANSAS. as Il FREE STATE
of the Union May God prosper her. She
is the THIRTY-FOURTH State of the
UNION. May the day never come when
their number shall be less.
