SOME months ago the British iron steam
ship Karnak was wrecked on coral reef
near the Bahamas, and became a total loss.
An eastern paper says that after lying at
the bottom Of the sea for some weeks, in
habited by fish and turtles, two enterpris-
ing young men from Bath, Maine, Messrs
Kimball and Arnold, bought the wreck for
Ss25, thinking they could I" fish up that
amount Of old iron from her. John Bull
pocksted the $685. and thought Jonathan
eresner than the sea-Weed for making such
& purchase. The purchasers explored her
with submarine armor, plugged up her
holes, pumped her out, raised her to the
surface, took her into Nassau, New Provi-
dence, the nearest port, had her rigged with
sails as G bark, at an expense Of $1,000

LITTLE COMPTON, R. l., Aug. IL.
The bounty question is growing in mag
nitude as the time for its continuance
grows short. The little towns Of Little
Rhody, after having bled SO freely in men
for the war, are now, in order to keep up
the hemOrrhage pouring out their money
like water, in bounties. This quiet farm
ing town, whose quota Of 100000 men is
only 16, held a town meeting on Saturday,
ct which bounty Of $500 per man was
efered. To pay the same bounty for the
quota Of New York City would require over
$6,OO0,OOO This liberality is not isolated.
The City Council Of Newport, on the same
day, offered bounty Of the same sum to
complete its quota; and everywhere the
most strenuous exertions are made to avoid
the pain and humiliation Of q draft. The
town Of Johnston in this State, pays $3.50
bounty; Darlington and East Providence,
$500; Middletown, S225; N. Providence,
Cumberland, Gloucester, Pawtucket and
others, $500, and 50 on. There is small
prospect Of a draft in any part Of the State
for the first 100000, and no doubt many Of
the towns viii pay any bounty which may
be necessary to prevent draft on the see
ozd 100000. There is equally good news,
too, across the line in Massachusetts.

The Builders Iron Foundry Company
are now making for the navy department
ll-iRoh Dahlgrens, similar to those which
are on the Monitor. The pattern Is in two
parts, being divided longitudinally from
breech to muzzle. These are moulded in
sections Of iron flask, which weighs eight
tons. The patterns are then removed, the
mould finished, aud the two sections Of
the flask put together and fastened The
flask is then placed in a pit in a perpen-
dioular position, when it is ready to receive
the molten iron. This is prepared in an
air furnace Of the capacity Of twenty-five
tons, Mueh care is required in the selection
Of the metal, and the combination must be
snch that the compound shall acquire the
greatest possible tenacity. While il melt
ing, the iron must be carefully watched
II is tested once in thirty minutes. Asmall
quantity is poured into a mould, forming
a bar about an inch square. As soon as it
eOols, it is broken. The grain and color
determine the quality and its proper state
to pour. As soon as the proper indications
are observed the furnace is tapped md the
liquid metal is conveyed into the mould
While tits running men are stationed along
the conductor to watch the stream and inter-
cept any scoria which may form. If these
were permitted to foW in, the casting would
be imperfect, liable to be houey-eombed, as
It is termed which would weaken the cast
ing and cause its rejection at once, or fail
ure when proved. An ll-inch gun was cast
Saturday in presence Of Capt. Hunt Of
the ordnance Office. So far as was observed
the operation was perfect 1t will not be
removed from the pit under ten days from
the casting, that time being required for
the mass to cool and be in a proper condi-
tion to handle. The gun as cast weighs six
teen and half tons when finished, it will
weigh between eight and nine. II Is four
teen feet long, thirty-two inches in di-
ameterat the breech and tWenty-four at the
muzzle. ~

IT is not the intention Of the government
to put the last three hundred thousand
troops in the field immediately, but to keep
them as reserve corps in the different
States. The various rendezvous viii be
camps Of instruction, in which the men
viii have fine time for the remainder Of
the summer, receiving the same pay and
bounty as those in the field, provided they
have volunteered. If they are drafted,
they receive no bounty, and but S11 per
month.

Another Railroad Disaster.

VINcENNEs. Ind, Sept. Q.
A special train conveying the 9Sth llli-
nois Regiment, Colonel Funkhouser, en-
route to Louisville, was thrown from the
track at Bridgeport, Illinois, on the Ohio
& Mississippi Railroad, abou: nine o'clock
last night, causing the instant death OF five
soldiers, and severely wounding thirty or
or forty more. Some OF them will not re-
cover. Capt o. L. Kelly, of Effingham
county, Illinois, was among the killed,
and the sufferers were principally Of his
company. A special train with physi-
clan, nurses, &C., was sent from here i'm
mediaely on the receipt of the news of
the disaster, and everything done to alle-
viate the sufferings of the wounded.
The accident was caused by the par
tial opening Of the switch at Bridgeport.
for the express purpose of throwing this
train off the track and numbering the
soldiers. A suspicious character, believed
to be the scoundrel who perpetrated this
outrage, and who was found prowlng
around the vicinity this morning, has been
arrested and is now in custody. The
same individual was arrested by an
officer Of this regiment but short time
ago while at Centraha, on suspicion Of his
being spy or engaged in disloyal prac-
tees. The wounded were removed 10 the
Hospital in this city.

Ohio Soldiers Relief Association.

To OUR FRIENDS IN OHIo:-As you
doubtless know, large additions of Ohio
troops have been made to the army of
Virginia. We are yet without history
Of its three days fighting, but the past
warrants US in assuming that our gallant
boys participating have won their full
share of laurels, and borne their share of
loss in killed and wounded. Anbulances
with their precious freight from the battle
field will be here before this letter is mail
ed.
To meet properly, by purchase in this
market, the wants OF our mutual friends
and neighbors now, and soon to be in the
hospitals of this city and vicinity, will
require an outlay far beyond the means
of our comparatively small association.
We therefore feel justified in asking aid
for them, at the hands Of kindred societies
at home, who can easily furnish supplies,
but are not in position to minister direct
ly to those requiring assistance and atteu-
ton.
We particularly need, at this time sup
plies of jeilies, (acid) jams, dried fruits of
all kinds, shirts, drawers, pocket hand
kerchie(s, socks, (cotton or wooden, slip
pers, towels, bandages, lint and tape.
Jellies. jams, and dried traits are often
er required, and Of more value than can
ned fruits, but either should be sealed with
common yellow compos ition, rather than
red sealing wax, which too frequently
cracks or breaks off, and thus exposes
and renders worthless the contents Of he
cans, etc.
We may add that dried apples, loose,
are an excellent article in which 10 pack
jars, etc.
Bolsters, pillows, pillow cases, pins.
needles, thread. etc., are moi needed.
All boxes should be addressed to the
Association, No. 537 H street.
Hoping for your immediate and active
CO operation,
We are, etc.

The True History Of the War.

II any distinguished literary man
should ever determine to risk bis reputa-
tion in writing history Of this war, we
would advise him to 20 to the army cor

historical character. These men can tell
him privately hoW this has been brain
less war thus far. They can show him
how men-traitors received the
best contracts, and, while imperfectly
filling them, have been communicating
our plans, such as we had, to the enemy
They will tell him how Southern officers
commanded some OF our outposts, in con.
slant communication with the enemy, and
how men, known TO be traitors, were
filing high positions in our army. They
can tell MIN, too, though they dare not
publish the fact, Of how certain Major
Generals have been surprised by the en-
emy in the East and West, while they lay
drunk in their tents, and how these mer
were complmented, instead of being cash
tered, by the commanding Generals, fol
| fear that their valuable services would be
| lost TO the army in future. In fact, !hey

OF men and means to have crushed the re
benion right out, these means have nearly
all been wasted in the face Of the foe

he has collected and con centrated his mel

Gen. Mcdowell.

The New York Times is informed that
Gen. Mcdowell is in that city, under ar
rest, on charge of treason, bat by whom
and on what grounds the charge is pre-.
fsrred, it is not aware. As grave sus-
picions have extensively prevailed in re-
gard 10 the loyalty Of this officer, it is not
improbable that the Times is correctly in
formed. It would seem, also, from the
following, taken from the Rochester DEM
Ocrat, that there was some foundation for
the telegraphic rumor that he had been
shot by Gen. Sigel:
The extraordinary report which came
by telegraph last Wednesday that Gen.
eral Sigel had shot General Mcdowell
during the battle at Warrenton, has been
generally discredited, but we have reason
10 suspect that the story had basis more
substantial than is usually believed. In
short we are told what seems to be good
authority, that there is a letter in this city
written by an officer who was an eye wit
aess of the circumstances which he de-
scribes, stating that during the fight Gen
eral Mcdowell took from his pocket a
white handkerchief which he attached to
the end OF his sword and waved it alolt as
if signalling to some one. Gen. Sigel OBJ.
serving the act, rode up and demanded
McDowelps reasons for such conduct
Mcdowell replied that it was none of his
business, at the same time cursng him as
"d--d Dutchman;" whereupon Sigel
drew pistol and fred at Mcdowell, the
ball striking the latter's sword hilt and
gancing of.
This is the substance OF the story as we
heard it. There certainly seems to be
some ground for believing that the feeling
between Sigel and Mcdowell is not olthe
most cordial nature, and it is quite posi-
BILE that an occurrence similar TO the one
related may have taken place, There il
wide spread belief that Mcdowell is no
loyal, aud letters which we have seer
from soldiers in the army indicate tha
this beliefs prevalent among them. Hi
operations in Virginia have, at any rate
been most unfortunately conducted, nm
IL he has indubitablv lost the contidenc
both OF the army and the country,
would seem to be the dictate Of SCUM
policy to relieve him of all communal
In the present state OF affairs, we canno

The Lesson of Today.

We havo no heart to speak or write Of the
pcrious condition of our country. The
dangers that beset it are apparently greater
and moro imminent than over before since
the war began. and only our faith in tho
patriotism of tho Pooplo and tho Ad-
mnistration, and in the strength and
justice of oTr cause, which has never
wavered, relieves the dark prospect. We
look at our Government as at friend
standing on the very brink of Niagara, with
its waters foaming and dashing around him,
holding our breath, and scarcely daring to
ndmonish him, lest even word should pre-
cipitate him into the fearful abyss
Whittier arc we tending A few months
ago, and our arms were successful in al
most every quarter; victory after victory
cheerod our loyal hearts, and the end seemed
approaching. oday, our troops arc driven
out of nearly tho whole OF Virginia and Ken
tucky, who're thousands of their bravo
brothers, many OF thom by nature the peers
of tho President and his Cabinet, mown
down in tho doath harvest that has swept
over those slave cursed States, now sieop in
bouored though undistingushod graves,
while Maryland, and oven our own FREQ
Ohio, are invaded, the Capital of the Nation
again besiegod, and, after all we have suf-
fored and lost, We are compelled to begin
the war anew. And why is it ? Have the
Rebels grown strong, while We hayo grown
aunot : M Attonnt 10 diouniun ~ wn
may, tho fault is our own. We havo never
fully realized that VIC arc ongagod in war
desperate, unrelont;ng civil war-and that
wo must subdue and conquer our enemies.
or they will subduo aud conquer us. In
our prosperity, we were too confident, too
magnanimous, too lenient with traitors, nog-
lectng to improve the golden moments by
following up our victories os we ought to
have done, while our enomes, in thoir ad-
versi.y, with energy, determination and sin
gleness of purpose worthy of a botter cause,
woro preparing to rovorso tho tide of sue
cess and carry tho war into tho North.
Let US learn wisdom from tho past
Let that which should be tho weakness of
tho RobeIs, no longer provo their strength.
Thousands of the bravost and best of the
sons of the North are rushing to tho rescue
of the country, cheerfully devoting all
they arc and all they havo to her cause.
This is glorious--it IS right-it is necessary
but it is not all that is required. 1t is
;dio to roy upon Plumbers alone, and equally
idle to rely upon temporary expodonts. -
Political intrigue has had much to do in i'm
poriing our country, and can mover save i
from ruin. And, whle tho mon now bein,
called into the service arc able and willinI
to suppress tho Rebellion, millions nigh
bo sacrificed in vain. Give them a vigorous
just and consistent war policy. Lot then
know that, though thoy may fall, the country
through their efforts, shall live Seek t
