Wan TERMs.-As We have, in these "fearful
times" frequent occasion to allude to "heayy
artillery" it is well, perhaps, to understand the
nature Of the "shootiug irons" so frequently
mentioned, as destined to figure in the general
argument Of our political troubles, If our states
men have not patriotism enough, by doing Justice
to all sections, to avoid the horrors of civil
war.
The "Columbial," which has become so pro-
mineni, as associated with Fort Sumter, is
large Paixhan, designed principally for firing
shes-it being far more accurate than the or
binary short mortar.
A mortar is q very short cannon with large
bore, some Of them thirteen inches ia diameter,
for firing shells. Those in use in our army arc
set at an angle Of 40 degrees, aud the range of
the shell is varied by altering the charge Of
powder. The shell iB caused to explode at just
about the time that Ii strikes, by means of fuse,
the length Of which is adjusted TO the time of
flight to be occupied by the ball, which, Of course,
corresponds with the range. The accuracy with
which the time Of the burning Of q fuse can be
adjusted by varying its length, is surprising;
good artilerists generally succeed in having
their shells explode almost at the exact instant
of striking. In loading mortar, the shell is
carefully placed with tho fuse directly forward,
and when the piece is discharged, the shell is so
completely enyeloped with flame that the fuse
IS nearly always hreu. Inc fuse 10 mhue by
filling a wooden cylinder with q fuse powder,
the cylinder being of sufficient length for the
longest range, to be cut down shorter for shorter
ranges as required.
A Dahleren gun is an ordinary cannon, except
that is made very thick at the breech for some
three or four feet, when it tapers down sharply
to less than the usual size. This form was
adopted in consequence of the experiments OF
Captaia Dalghren, OF the United States Navy
having shown thai when a gun bursts ii usually
gives why AZ the breech. The Niagarn is armed
with three guns, and at the Brooklyn Navy
Yard there are sixty, weighing about 5000 pounds
each, and SIX OF IL, 900 pounds weight each III
former of which are capable of carrying ninch
inch, and the latter ten inch shell distance
Of two or three miles; and there is one gun OF
this pattern which weighs 1876 pounds, hut
its exNct power is not ascertamed. So much for
our "higgest guns"

Some Of he reason ioky Brine sells so many


In the first place, he secures q large and COM
modious establishment at low figure and fits
it up in good order. buys his stock in large
quantities, thereby getting 1t at the lowest mar
ket prices; he has his Shoes made SO that the
most fastidious cannot find fault with them; his
expenses being comparatively small, he puts his
shoes down to the lowest living rates, and then
he adyertises literally aud as consequence he
sells his shoes off rapidly and gets the cash with
which to 90 in quest Of more bargains to be again
laid before his customers, now at this time of the
year, when everybody is buying shoes for the
fall and winter We would advise them to give

SEWING MAcnisEs.-WHIcH IS THE Best p
THn QUESTION ANswERED There eau be no
doubt that Wheeler Il Wilson'S Sewing Machine
is the very best the market affords. Everybody
says 80, and the fact that n large majority of
people prefer for family seiriag while Dress
Makers, Shirt Makers, Corset Makers CATER
Filters Shoe Binders. Vest Makers, and Tailor7
all use it, and insist that it has equal for teir
purposes, clearly establishes The fact that it il
unequalled for the variety of uses to which it Is
adapted The Wheeler Wilson Machines make
the lock stitch, The only stitch that cannot be rdrei-
Id, mud that presents the same appearance on
both sides of the senm--a fact of itself sufficient
to account for its having the highest premium
awarded it at all the State fairs held for the past
few years No other than the lock stitch has
given such universal satisfaction, and our advice
is II you want Sewing Machine TINT will do
your OWE family sewing in a very superior manner

1T is A COMMON OBSERVATION that


IT is A COMMON OBSERVATION that
there are more sufferers from debility, among
Americans, than can be found among any other
civilized nation. The reason is obvious. We
take too little exercise, and forget the WAITS of
lbe body in the absorbing pursuits Of business,
In nil such cases, ordinary medicines can do
little good What ia required is just such
tonic and nvgorator MS Dr. j. Hoftetier has
given to the world, in his CELEBRATED BIT
TIERS" The weak aud nervous denizen OF the
counting house, the exhausted toiler upon the
shop board, and the Frustrated student of the
midnight lamp have found a wonderful regenera-
tor in the "BlTIERS" and prefer it to moro
pretcnlious but less eficacious medicines. But
il should not be forgotten that tho agent which
is 50 magical 10 its influence upon frame
which is merely debi'tated, is equally power
fal in assisting nature to expe the most terrible
forms of disease. Who would not give ita trial.
