II the vote OF the soldiers who are at pres
en-, in this State, aud also those which have
heretofore joined the army. could be acurate-
" taken, the proportion would be about the
same as the above from tho vote Of Iowa.
II appears that four Union voters are in the
army 10 one Democrat. This is no guess
work. but IL a fact which the actual count
shows. aud which cannot be denied or dis
proved The Democrats here claim vic
tory over the Union men in the late election,
and the claim Is just one. and will be
fully recognized. They did cast moro
votes than the Union men simply from the
fact that four or fire Union men are in the
army to where there is but one Democrat.
Their triumph was easily won. And under
the circumstances they should hold their ju-
bulstions over the result. They can afford
to DO so. They involved the country in civil
war and left il in bankruptcy and ruins. and
when good and loyal men left home TO res
cue the Government and its institution,
from peril. they (the Democrats) remained
at home 70 vote that it should remain ~ dis
honor a. they Left it. And thus they have
succeeded. and why should they not jubilat'
over their success. Added to this unpstrioti'
conduct, they resorted to casting illega
votes and stufiing ballot boxes to make thei
success the more certain. Any way th'
matter can be examined the record made b,

,INHUMAN1TY TO SoLD1ERs.-There is soldier
in the Penitentiary at Joliet, young man from
Ohio, the soa and only stay of widowed
mother. He is an inmate Of convict's cell,
under sentence Of q military court martial for
the period 81 the war, and to forfeit all pay. His
oAense was disrespectful conduct to Major
Baird, Of the New York regiment disgraced by
the poltroonery of that officer at Harper Fer
~. This same officer has just been dismissed
the service for cowardice. :.
He was brute AID drunkard and acting in
both capacities, outraged the young Ohioan,
who resented and took the Major by the beard.
The court-martisl has done the rest and made
the boy soldier felon. When is this infamy
to cease? When are superior officers to learn
that only at their peril they may trample on
the rights and manhood of cur soldiers When
are courts-martial to be taught that they may
not at will, make convicts and felons by the
rule of martinez? The young Ohioan will be
released; but those who found, and those who
approved, the verdict-deserve to be stripped
Of their shoulder-straps and dismissed the ser
vice. Will the War Department allow such
abuses to 60 unpublished? Its orders are al
ready explicit. Let them be enforced.-[C hica.

SIXTY TRAINS DAY Some idea of the
business transacted by the Chicago, Burlington

roads may be inferred from the fact that on that
portion of the latter road, east Of the Galena
Junction, over which the trains Of the former
read also pass, there are thirty trains daily each
way, or sixty trains passing that point every
tventy.four bours.

The PARROT GuN.-The E" Parrot" is cast
iron rifed cannon, with wrought iron band,
in width about one, fifth the length of the gun,
shrunk on the breech. The process Of putting
on the band is thus described: arsaq6T sF
1t is made Of wrought iron bar, varying
from two to six inches square, according to the
calibre. The bar is heated to a white heat
and then twisted into a spiral and welded into
cylindrical mass by q powerful trip hammer
The diameter of the band is little less than
that Of the breecb of the gun. 1t is made red
hot, and while expanded is fixed upon the
breech of the gun, where it shrinks firmly into
itspl8ce, and forms almost solid portion of
the cannon. t-.@ae. +i''."or aaa "a ga
The cost Of the "Parrct" is about one tenth
that Of the English wrought iron guns, and it
is quite as efficient as the best Of them. 1t is
an American invention, and is made exclusives
lily at the Parrot Foundry near West Point
We extract the following from an account of
this gun published in the Philadelphia Press /:
9. At the distance of three miles, 200 pound
shot can he thrown SO as to fall within the
space Of twenty feet square. The initial We
locity of the ball is twelve hundred feet per
second, and the whole distance is accomplish
ed in about seventeen seconds. The power Of
the 100 pound Parrot has been tested upon
wrought iron plates thicker than the armor of
the Monitor. Alta distance Of fifty feet plate
eight and half inches thick, inclined at an
angle Of twenty degrees, was broken through
the middle, vertically, by the first shot. -
Six hundred have been sent to various for
tifcations and divisions of the army-1O, "a,
100 and 2O0.pounders and others Of intermed-
late calibre. It was q 20O-pound Parrot gun
which caused the evacuation Of Yorktown and
the retreat of Beauregard from Corinth.
The weight of the 2O0-pounder Parrot is
| barely more than one half Of the Columbiad,
which carries the $50 pound shot or the ten
inch shell. The practice with these guns is
excellent. Experiments are made daily and
with accuracy most astonishing. The shrek
of the ball as it flies through the air, at a We.
locty of over six hundred miles per hour. is
like that Of railroad train at full speed"
No other nation has q gun that can be com.
pared with the Parrot in the combination
of the qualities of cheapness, durability and
power. !.

The Psjaro del 0ceano arrived here on the

In an extra published on tie 10th inst, the
National Advocate states that q train on the
Alciers railroad was destroyed on the afternoon
Eof the TIN, a quarter of Q mile distant from the
Lafourche Station, by th. explosion Of the am
munition in car behind the tender OF the lo-
comosive. About twenty officers and privates
we're wounded, and the limbs OF some six or
seven persons, supposed to have been in the
we're scattered in all directions. According to
the Delta eleven persons we're killed by the sc-
cident and seventeen wounded. It. was sup.
posed, says the same paper, that the accident
vas caused BY spark from the cigar of some
imprudent smoker. The two cars, were COM
pletely destroyed. .,ts.l,. y
A report prevailed in New Orleans that Gen.
Butler was passenger on this Inflated train,
and that he was MORALLY wounded. The Delta
contradicts the report, and states that the GEN
eral was in the city in the enjoyment of excel
lent health. s,,s- ,t,ss.a.3s .s..- +.
The news received from Bayou Lafourche is
very sad. The estates were almost entirely de-
