HOW BoMB-sHELLs ARE MADE.

The manufacture of bomb shells is very
interesting. The shell is first filled with
old fashioned round leaden bullets; melted
sulphur is then poured in to fill up the in-
terstices and bind the bullets in one solid
mass: the shell is then put into kind OF q
lathe, and cylindrical hole. the exact size
of the shell, is bored through the bullets
and sulphur. This cavity is filled with
powder even with the interior edge OF the
orifice, a six-inch shell of the kind here de-
scribed holding about a half pound The
fuse fitted into the orifice is recent Belgian
Invention, made of pewter, and resembles
the screw-ca p used for the patent fruit cans.
An examination of this pewter cap shows,
however, that it is made of two hollow
discs of metal screwed together and filed
with meal powder. A number OF hne
holes are drilled in the lower disc. while the
outer disc is entire, and mark ed with figures
in circle, /, 2, 8. 4. In this state the she'll
is waterproof. When taken for use, the
gunner, by means Of a small steel instrument,
scoops out portion of the outer soft met
al surface, and lays bare the charge of COM
position powder below it. If the shell is
desired to explode in one second after leaving
the gun, the scooping is made on the fig
ure L: if in two seconds on the e, and so
on-the idea being that the shells of this
description shall 6rst strike the object aimed
at and do execution as ball. and then ex-
plode, sen ding the bullets forward as if from
another cannon, located at the point where
the fight of the shell is arrested. Large
shells of eight or ten inches are filled with
powder only. and bursting. do execution by
means of their fragments. These large
shells are generally fred by means of fuse
of meal powder. extending through brass
plug screwed into the mouth of the SHE'LL
in both cases the fuse is fred by the ignition
of the charge in the gun.

coMPLInENT TO GEN MCCLELLAN,

a The New Orleans True Delta has "a ar
ticie boasting of The superior generalship
shown thus far in the war by the Southern
officers. 1t concludes with the following
compliment to Gen. Mcclellan: aus
|, We hear that Nc lellan, an officer of I'M
questionable capacity, and an accomplished.
enterprising and successful soldier. is to be
at the head of their invading armies, sub
ordinate only to Lieut.. Gen. Scott. We do
not regret this change so far as the fame Of
Beauregard is eOneerned: on the contrary.
we rejoice that it has been made. because We
know there could be little credit in scatter
ing such troops as have hitherto encounter
ed our heroic men in battle. led on by the
Pattersons and Buffers and such like polit-
ical trash. Mcclellan is worthy of Beaure-
gard attention, and while We have not for
moment doubt of the result Of their
first measurement of arms in the held, nor
of any latter conflict, so far as the honor
and reputation of Louisians's great soldier
is involved, we hope when they are face to
face arrayed against each other, no great
disparity of force nor deficiency of mate
rial will be allowed to cripple our side on
the eventful occasion. In presence of an
officer so thoroughly soldier as Mcclellan.
it would not do for our gallant boys to sleep
or be negligent on outpost duty in contempt
of their foe; he will, if any one can. make
something of the sons of the Pilgrims. the
descendants of the Mayfower's passengers,
and, therefore. our complete satisfaction that
one whom it will be really great honor to
defeat, is now to be put Ct the head OF the
Lincoln army of subjugation. -ze,F

GEN. Ian E.

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Posi-, refers as follows to the re-
cent slavery discussion in the Senate, and to
Gen. Lane:
"The slavery question was fully discuss
ed in connection with the War, and the reb
ell sympathizeFs were convinced by the tone
of Northern sentiment reflected by the Sen
ators who participated in the discussion,
that if the rebels put slavery in the way o
the Union the institution Will certainly be
extirpated. Lane, of Kansas, took occasion
to adjust the account of Kansas with Its
southern invaders, uttering certain truths
in language which one year ago would have
cost him his life in Washington. AS il
was, two or three Slave State Senators were
unable to keep quiet in their seats under
such an infliction.
LANE is very good debater, and with
experience would take prominent position
Those Northern and Southern Congressmer
who, from reading border-ruffan newspa-
pers, had formed the idea that Lane was &
cut-throat and ignoramus, were greatly as
tonished to see him get up and make &
powerful speech in the United States Senate
Lane sits next to Polk. of Missouri, and in
front of Powell, of Kentucky, and is al
ready apparently on good terms with those
gentlemen. It is somewhat amusing to see
the Kansas ''brigand," as the southern
newspapers generally represented him to be,
chatting pleasantly with such ardent slave
holders

PARTING HYMN.


Father Of Mereies, Heavenly Friend,
We seek thy gracious throne;
To Thee our faltering prayers ascend,
Our fainting hearts are knowni
From blasts that chill, from suns that smite
From every plague that harms:
In camp and march, in siege and fight,
Protect our men -at-armsl
Though from our darkened lives they take
What makes our lives most dear,
We yield them for their eountry's sake
With no relenting tear.
Our blood their flowing veins viii sh ed,
Their wounds our breasts will share
Oh, 81 We US from the woes we dread,
Or grant Us strength to bear
Let each unhallowed cause that brings
The stern destroyer essse,
Thy flaming eng | fold his wings, - {.
And seraPhs whisper Peace!
Thine are the scepter and tile sword
Stretch forth thy mighty hand
Reign Thou our kingless nations Lord,
Rule Thou our throneless land!

DISCIPLINE AMONG THE yOLUN
TEERS

To the Editor of the Republican:
We are all aware that, in order TO make a
military force efficient, strict discipline is in.
dispensable. Particularly is this the case with
regulars" But we believe that this discipline
may be carried little too far with some Of the
gallant men, who, prompted by sentiments Of
the purest patriotism, have left their pleasant
homes behind them, and volunteered to sacri.
fee, if need be, their all, in the defence of our
flag.
It is fact to be borne in mind by the staff
officers of the respective regiments now quar-.
tered here, that many of their men have enter.
ed the service but for the space Of three months
aud If they find themselves ill.treated or iln.
posed upon by their superiors, they will be un.
willing to re.enlist. When We consider how
much more efficient our three months men will
be, at the expiration Of their term of enlistment,
than recruits are, the necessity for continuing
them in service becomes apparent.
A commanding officer may be dignifed, de.
cided, and exacting, but he should never SO far
forget the true relation he sustains to those un
der him, as to be rude or harsh in his inter,
course with them. Little acts Of kindness,
such as he may often show to his men, will
tend to unite them to him more closely than
the iron bonds Of such u petty despotism as he
might exercise over them could possibly do
He who commands not himself is unfit to ex
ercise authority over others. Let our officers
consider this matter, and we believe that the
efficiency and comfort Of all concerned will be
in the highest degree promoted. HAL.
