WINTER QuARrERs.-W wars, in former times,
were waged in Europe on scientific principles, it
was the rule for each party to go into winter quar-
ters at the approach Of FROST. Adeparture- from
this rule by either of the Generals in the, thirty
years war in Germany would have been pro-
nounced unprofessional, il not barbarous. Really
great captains, however have not considered them
selves bound by any such rule; and all seasons
were the same TO Hannibal to Cesar, and tc Bo-
naparte. Whenever blow could be dealt to the
adversary, they were in place to deal il without
respect to weather.
In the war which is now raging Between the
North aud the South, the Yankees have looked
forward to winter as the most propitiaus Tor the
prosecution of their predatory incsrsiens. They
suppose the rebels, who are used: TO the mild
breeZes of the Souh will fear gaiation if they
advance into the frozen regions OF the North. 1t;
is presumed that at the first Symptom of cold they
will suspend operations and betaka themselves to
winter quarters. Then, the Yaaflnes fatter them
selves they viii have the whole aeld themselves.
The rebel army being frozen ap on tie Potomac,
and unable to move, they can launch their fleets
and pour their freeboOters uran the whole SoQth-
arn coast. If there be no mistake 10 their c2ieu-
result. But it takes two to make bargain. We
know it is very cold at the, North, but q great
many preparations have lteen made by that indus
trous people to counteSact the rigor Of the eli
mate. Many Southern people have spent winters
in Philadelphia, and they all tad us that N conse,
auence of the abundance of coal and the excel
lence of the houses 1t is one of the most comfort
able places in the world. i has abundant accom-,
nodations for an army of 80 000 men; and il cast
ing about for suitable quarters for Gen. Johnstons
boys, it has occurred to US that there was not a
| better spot on the econtnent. We have vague sus-
picnns that Gen. Johnston is inclined to that same
| opnion.-[ Richmond Wing.

A MEMPHIS INvENTIoN.-B. f. Cowan, Esq, of
this city, the inventor Of the winged shot, has in-
vented a packing for shot which is simplicity
itself, but which the experiments that have been
made indicate will add in wonderful degree to
the projectie power OF cannon, making smooth
bore equal to rifle. 1t costs but trifle, is APP
piled as readily finger is put in a glove, and
accommodates itself to the size and figure of any
bail with which cannon may be loadee. There
are always Irregularities in cannon balls, and they
must necessarily be smaller than the bore of the
gun from which they are fred. As the bail passes
along the gun, the expanded air rushes between
the ball and the sides of the gun, but more air
presses along at some places than at others, ae-
cording to the irregularities Of surface Of the ball
This escape is technically termed "a windage.h and
by it certain portion of the propelling power Is
lost, which prevents the ball going as great dis
tance as it otherwise would, and what is even
worse, the irregularity of pressure we have men
toned causes the ball to defect from right line,
and thus to miss the river in many cases. The in
the ball and the sides of the cannon, and thus pre-
ball further and more directly. 1t not only does
this but it carries the ball clear of the sides of the
cannon, saving that irreguarity of motion which
arises from the ball striking from side to side of
the cannon tube it rushes along its length. The
packing is of metal and as it clasps the ball it
glides smoothly but tightly along the smooth sides
Of the tube, which are thus by an incidental bat
valuable property of the packages kept free to
great extent, from the accumulation OF those I'M
| purities in the gun which have to be removed by
| swabbing. From motives OF prudence, we refrain
from description of the structure of the pack

WAITE.


The Cherokees met Gen. Pike, Confederate Com
missioner, and Mai. Rector, Superintendent, at
Tahleuuah Cherokee Nation, on the 25th of Sep
tember, according to previous appointment. The
CherOkees assembled in large numbers, and the
regiment commanded by Col. Drew was on the
ground. At the appointed houY the Cherokee regi-
ment formed, leaving a large square in which the
Commissioner, Superintendent, and the Cherokee
officials were seated. 4 Confederate flag was pre-
sented by the Cherollees to the Commissioner,
which was followed by speech by Gen. Pike to
the Indians and which was responded to by Mr..
Ross After which, Mr.. Ross approached Colonel
Stand Waite, and offered his hand, assuring him of
renewed friendship. Waite took his hand, and
snid to Mr.. Ross, if he had done this in lS46 the
CheroIlees would now be united people, but
that there now exists party in the nation known
as the pin party, and as long as they hold their
political organization there could be no peace Mr..
Ross assured Waite that he knew nothing of the
party, and that he had nothing to do with it. After
a little party, matters were hushed up, and the
Commissioner and the authorities proceeded to
the arranging of preliminapies tor the treaty.

A Portion OF the Lexington Bank Treasure
In Chicago.

It will be remembered that prior to the siege of
Lexington Cot Mulgan seized upon S967 900, the
available funds of the Farmers Bank, located at
that place, upon the sufficient grounds that the
stockholders of the bank were SeCessOnists. The
contraband funds for the sake OF greater security,
were buried within the entrenchments, and, as
some say, beneath Col. Mulligan's own tent.
After the capture of the town and its occupation
by Price, the rebel General became apprised, from
some source of the whereabouts of the treasure
eXhumed it and returned it to the bank. The Off.
GERS of the bank counted it, and found that it fell
short SIS 900. There was a leak somewhere, and
diligent inquiry was made to ascertain the locality
of the missing funds but without avail. The search
was given up as useless, and SIS 900 were charged
to profit and loss.
these funds has come to light in Chicago, in a
novel manner. Among the returned members of
the Irish Brigade was one Henry Bradburn, who
came richly laden with the spoils Of war. He had
evidently made the siege of Lexington wha lever
its result collectively matter of profit indlSidu-
ally, from the lavish manner in which he squan-
dered Farmers Bank fves on Monday. Bradburn
had in his possession S2700. He gathered about
him gang of thieves, swindlers and prostitutes
and the crowd held high carnival over tae booty.
He purchased rich dresses, and clothed t.le crowd
in purple and fine linen. For once, t,le "swell-
mob much to their astonishment, came out in
broadcloth. They attended some foot races where
Bradburn, in o state OF gross intoEicahon, bet
heavily and of course on the wrong man every
time, thereby materially diminishing. his stock Of
Farmers fves, During the latter Hart of the day
Bradbuln took financial turn, ard went among
the brokers. They willingly took $500 of the
money-worth ninety cents on tho aollar-for 5 q
in gold, and his pile was agaiHs diminished, iea7
ing him but $500. He had during the day 60! rid
of $500.
In this plight he was found by The police, who
were knowing to the circIaastap ces, and takeI
into custody. Upon his Arraignrnent before the
police magistrates Bradbufn aver red that he CAME
honestly by the money, althoNg' he was not very
l4eid in his statements as gegs rled the manner il
which he obtained it. He re adily acknowledged
that it was part OF the treaS ure buried in the in

In any event, it is Cl8ar Wat our local authorize
have no jurisdiction ip the case. rs the theft,
there be any, was committed in Missouri. Most o
the bills have been recovered by the police, wh
at present hold the money in their possession, wit
what propriety it is difficult to ascertain.

CRIME AND RErRlBurros.-fn the Galveston Civ

ilian of the Sd we. find the following:
An outrageous and old-blooded scheme of rob-
berry and murder has just been developed and
punished in Hardin county. Three men named
Willis Magins and Chesher formed a plan to rob
and murder citizen named Dark, residing on Bat
sons Prairie, and proceeded to the house for the
purpose. Chesher commenced the attack by rais-
ing gun to shoot Dark. The latter knocked the
gun aside, and the discharge wounded his wife,
though not seriously He then seized gun and
shot Chesher dead. A faithful negro man Of DARK
then came to the assistance of his master, but was
shot and badly wounded by one Of the remaining
robbers. Dark having another loaded gun at
hand, succeeded in putting them to flight. The
alarm being given,a company from Liberty turned
out, caught Magins in Hardin and Willis in Jasper
county, and hung them both
They confessed that it was their intention to kill
the whole of Dark's family, and they named three
or four others whom they intended to murder and
rob. Willis was young man who had lived in
Jefferson and Hardin counties some four years,
and was well thought Of before the occurrence.
Chesher is looked upon as the leader in the horri
