Harvey issued proclamation to the
people of st. Louis and the State of
Missouri, which has been posted
throughout the city, expressing deep re-
greet at the state of things existing here,
pledging himself to do all in his power
to preserve the peace, and calling on
the people and the public authorities to
aid him in the discharge of his duties.
He says the military forces under his
command will only be used in the last
extremity, and hopes he will not be
compelled to resort to martial law, but
emphatically states that the public
peace must be preserved, and the lives
and property of the people protected.
He SAYS that he has not authority to
change the location of the Home
Guards quartered in the city, but to
avoid all cause of irritation and ex-
element, if called upon to aid the To-
cal authorities he will use the regular
army in preference. In accordance
with the proclamation, battalion of
regulars has been sen. into the city and
placed under the direction of the Police
Commissioners, to act as military
police corps. Considerable lawless-
ness has prevailed for the last two days.
Several innocent Germans have been
shot on the streets, where the feeling
against the Germans is most intense,
the regular volunteer and Home Guards
being composed mainly of that class OF
citizens, and it is through their acts so
many innocentpersons have been killed.
Several persons charged with firing
on the troops and shooting on the
streets have been arrested, and the
police are constantly on the alert

\ Paris letter SAYS:

A Paris letter says:
Ex-Lieutenant- General Winfield Scott arrived
here from Havre, which port he reached in the
Arago on Sunday morning. Yesterday afternoon,
at O'clock he was met at the railroad station by
Mr.. Bigelow, the United States Consul, and by the
Secretary and Assistant Secretary of Legation,
Messrs. Pennington and Dayton l should not
suppose it would require any very great reaxa-
ton from his usual dignity for the Minister to have
been present in person to greet the warworn old
veteran to whom our country owes so much and
whom our c0untrymen and their Representatives
abroad should delight to n0nor. But Mr.. Dayton
was not present. The General has taken rooms at
the Westminster Hotel, in the Rue lie la Paix,
where, upon his arrival, he was metby Mrs. Scott,
who has not seen him before in five or six years.
Gen. Scott and hia wife, finding that their tempers
and modes of thought were not Of an amicable
character, agreed to Disagree and concluded
that they could not love each other together, they
would love each other apart. Most OF that time
Mrs. Scott has been residing in Europe, and has
always manifested intense interest in her husbands
movements and welfare.
At the Union breakfast given last summer at the
Hotel du Louvre, and at which some of our newly
t1edged Ministers made such Mugginses " of them
selves, Mrs. Scott was present, and whenever an
alluson was made to the General she seemed to be
deeply affected, and once shed tears. Latterly she
has manifested greater interest than ever in her
husbands career, and for TWO or three weeks she
was 50 nervous and excited that it was found
necessary to keep from her all the papers contain
ing bad news. Now, upon the Generals arrival in
Paris she wishes to greet him, forgetting all that
is past. And it is not Improbable under all the
circumstances that the venerable pair may con-
cude to finish the remainder of life's downhill
journey together. =
Quite u demonstration was made by the Ameri-
eau ship captains upon the Generals arrival in
Havre. Two triumpha arches were erected, under
which the General passed, and as much enthusi
asm was exhibited and as much noise made as was
consistent with the quiet ideas of the French
police.
To-day the General is resting quietly at his hotel
| and tomorrow or next day will receive his Ameri
can friends. After remaining here a few weeks fol
| medical advice and treatment, he will proceed Il
| the South of France, probably to Pau or Cannes
where he will spend the winter He enjoyed th
trip across very much, never missed a meal ans
says he feels better than be has for Year, past

THE STEAM AIR CANNoN.-This invention consists
of a locomotive capable of running on common
roads, which supersedes horse power in all draft
operations, and is adapted to either lana water.
To this is attached one more air cannons, which,
in view of the present scarcity of powder, is a
great desideratum as air can be made more ef-
tectve than powder being liable to compression
to many Thousand times less than its bulk. These
cannon will also have the following qualities to
recommend them, viz no report, little If any con-
cussion. no heating and no smoke, all of which
proves their great availability whether placed on
board Of gun-boats or war ships or used on land
for river protection, where itwould be most SER
viceable. Along the banks of the Mississippi the
levees wonld protect the lower part of the ma
chime, while the upper is secured by its own in
clined planes. ~
The cannon being breech loading, is loaded with
great ease aud speed, and by being removed from
the machine, the latter can be applied to making
bitches, throwing up embankments and can also
be used as fire engine. -. .a
In 'he open field it may we'll be called flying
artillery as it could run through any ranks, either
of infantry or cavalry, and open o lane fourteen
feet wide.
This is a Louisiana invention, and we understand
that the inventor, Mr.. Henry Cowing, is about to
submit it to the Legislature, when we hope to see it
receive that attention which all such contryances,
calculated to strengthen our defenses, deserve.
