Mt. HORtCB II. DAY:
Your Poncho Tent has been submitted to nv az
animation, And am compelled to express q most
iayoi able opinion of its superiority TO any thing
that has come under my notice. Its water proof
qualities, at ishtness its weight not liable TO be
increased by wet rain, and its durability recon-
mend IL to me as being just whas 1t this time, is
REQUIRED for actual hard service A the field.
My experience with the French shelter tents Is
not at al favorable, they being almost useless in
wet weather, and consider -FOUR tent a. entirely
obviating the objections so Justly urged AGAINST
the use of the plain cloth shelter tent.
The Rubber Blanket nov issued is only valuable
as a covering to be aoed upon the ground, and
not AZ al it 20 form tent.

AN INTENIoUs INVENTION. -- On the
evening of August 18th, we were favored
with call from Mr.. A. F. French of Frank
lin, Vermont, who was on his way 10 exhibit
TO Gov. Holbrook and the State Officials an
invention of his which he called SJoorded
ball The body of this ball is of conical
torn-the largest end having leaden belt
around il similar to the one around the Eng
lish and Belgian rihed cannon ball. Lead is
used as being the only metal that is sensitive
to the groove in the cannon, The swords
are so fastened TO the ball that when driven
home the blades shut up, and when the ball
issues from the lannon's mouth the rotary
motion of the ball opens them as water flies
from tie grindstone when in rapid notion
The swords can be male from one to four
feet long.
For this deadly invention, we understand
Mr.. French has been offered by some cum
ming Southrsn from the rebel States, seven
thousand dollars, which tempting offer Mr.
French was too loyal to accept-preterring
that the Government should have the advan
tage of so fatal missile as the sword ball

Rouge in the N. O. National Adcocate OF
the 18th, says that the Confederate army
was stationed ten miles distant from that
place, hourly expecting large reinforce
ments. On becoming reinforced 1t was
their intention to renew the attack on
Baton Rouge. The United States forces
had called in all their pickets, and noti-
fed all non-combatants to leave, with
such movable property as they choose to
take with them, as the gunboats would
she'll the city the moment the Conteder-
ates renewed the conflict.
The news from the interior of Louis
lana shows that there is great disaffectlon
among the people on account of the con-
scription, and many are striving to make
their way to New Orleans to get rid OF 1t.
The order of Gov. Moore not to trade
with the city is also bitterly invelghed
against. All along the coast the planters
would freely ship their crops did they but
dare to do so, as they are starving as well
as their negroes; but if planter happens,
.rv one he would like to trade
he will be Immediately arrested and con
fined for being untrue.
