BiGcd muskets--AstonfshIn Results
ofOhIo Practice.

From the Ctnctnn4A Commercial, 11thJ
Knowing the anxiety felt by many Of our
citizens u regard to1 the quality Of the nr wes.
troops, and leaning that q very thorough test
Of their quality was had the latter part of last
week, we hare been at some pains to procure
al the particulars Of the trial, 80 IS to give
our readers all tho facts In the case.
The trial Vas for the purpose it Of testng The
now In use, Of various thicknessas Of Iron and
steel, and Was held In the presence Of Capt.
Rogers, q. 8. NJ, and numerous other gentle
men, iron manufacturers and othcrs-Capt.
Rogers having been aQpointedby Government:
the steamers lately purchased here for gun
The arms tried on this occasion wcro tho En-
field, Colt'e, and other celebrated rifles, Mimic
OF United States rifed musket, and 1aetly, our
Ohio atms-the Last named being the Old Q. 8.
wise improved at Miles GfeenWood's Eagle
Iron Works, in this city.
The trial lasted nearly the entire day, and
many experiments were had, the most inter
esting, however, being these:
4 sheet Of the Ebesf quality charcoal boiler
the arms on the ground fired ut 1t in turn. The
Mimic and other Of the rifles named msde
qcite deep impressions In It, but none succeed
ed in putting their balls through the metal ex-
ctpting the altered musket The balls OF this
penetrated It in every instance, and In fact
seemed to meet with little resistance In pass-
Ing through It. With threo-eighths inch steel
plates the result wns about the same. Against
all the other arms it was proof, but
every shot from the altered muskos passed
Though It with ease. The last test WAS With the
toughest and beat quality Of three eighth inch
wrought boiler plates. None Of the balls fully
passea through this, but while It was but
slightly marked by al the Others, the balls
| from our Ohio muskcts penetrated the iron to
| their depth and Remained sticking in It, caus.
ing it to project five eighths of an inch on the
! reverse side
Next to our muskets h strength of shoot
| ing, appeared to be tho! q. 8. fife Or MIME
onsket, the EnfeldproYtng decidedly inferior
to these.
Ne have heard that at private trial had
since the above, balls from the altered muBkets
succeeded IN penetrating good threereIghths
inch boiler iron and that some satisfactory
shots were made at q distance Of over 2 40i
yarde, or nearly mile and . half The official
trial, however, first named, giycs sufficient
j. good report Of our Ohio arms, and We only
hoEe that no time will be lost In getting then
ready in thehands OF our Buckeye boys. Will
them ne think they vii render = good ac
cornt Of themselves.

A citizen OF ClatRsyi}ls writes to us, thst ut
the precinct called Cherry Station, about four
miles from ClarksYile, -where about thirty
votes are usually cast and where the whole
number of legal voters Ia certainly not forty,
tie returns last Friday footed Up over az
hundred. Cher1y's Station Is but short dis
tance from the Kentucky line, aad there is no
doubt that 1iinetentbs Of the voting thata On
Saturday WIS done by citizens Of Southern

Where his wife was mendiug stockings, and in
Wal11ng across the room stepped upon u SPOOL
Of thread, nth which the youngest child had
oeen playing. He told Lis wife She should not
nave lett the thread there, and struck the child,
for which the wife upbra1deu him, saving II
was only IN accident, aud that it should not be
punished. Words and recriminatlon followed,
ana he threatened to shoot his wife, who
laughed at him, not thinking him serious. He
became more and more irritated, and finally
vent into his Office, where he procured long
double-haHeled fowling piece, one barrcl Of
which Was loaded. Re-cntering the room, he
cooked the weapon and approached his wife,
who now became alarmed, and leaving her seaf-

brethren In their enjoyment The West is
uncomproulisingly IN fhvor Of the Union NOT
merely for the sake Of the Union, but Tor tIc
sacred aud lnestimnb1c rights it guarantees to
the people.
II State Convention Is called, the first
question TO be settled Is the basis of rcpresen-
tatlon. The West will accept of nothing but
1he White basis, as now represented III the
lower house.
Tho Convention, when called, must have
power to amend the Constitution Of the State.
ut least In that part which c1empts large
portion OF the slave property from faSatiou.
:, the delegates are to be appointed to
Southern Convention, these delegates must be
appointed BY districts, arranged on the basis
ut the white population Of the State.
The obvious justice of these demands must
commend them to the approval If Ill inst
