InfernnI Machlnes.

A letter from Columbus Ky.i gives the fol-
lowing description OF several internal ma
chimes found near that place, which had been
constructed by Gen. Polk:
No. l is a machine in intended for suhmer-
sion in water, OF a cylindrical form, and built
Of No. l6 sheet iron, aud is about five feet in
length and fifteen inches in diameter ending
conically. In the interior is bag, presumed
TO be impervious TO water and containing the
explosive materials One enc Of the bag con-
tains a mouth-piece, in which is inserted a
tube perhaps an inch in diameter. There is a
nipple on the end of this tube, arranged for
.he reception of a percussion cap, on which a
hammer is made to act by means of simple
lever arrangements
"No. . is intended for land uses, and IS
made of cast iron. II is shaped like an old
fashioned tea-kettle in some respects, and has
sort Of cap on the top similar to the lid of
an iron tea kettle, which is fastened TO il by
an iron set Of screws. About two inches from
the bottom are two orihces through which run
copper wires, insulated with gutta percha
and tarred cord, which are laid in trenches
and communicate with a galvanic battery in
side Of the fertilization on the bluff This in
fernal machine is a specimen Of many that lie
buried in and about Columbus, several of
which have been discovered
No. is intended for the water, and is a
cast iron cylinder, twenty inches in diameter,
and twenty-four inches long, the ends being
cast solid. Attached TO one end are four
cleyices for the purpose Of fastening It to sup
porters.
"No. 4 is another water machine, being a
plain cylinder 70 inches long aad II iuohes in
diameter, made Of heavy boiler iron, aud
riyeted in the style Of steamboat boiler.
This likewise has two fat ends, one containing
some brass Arrangements, which il is difficult
to designate the use Of The affair looks as if
it might be a very destructive missiye, il

Iron the Richmond Examiner, March IL.
The Confederate Retreat and New
Line of Defence.

The most important movements that ever
occurred on this continent are now going on
before our eyes. The brilliant and astonish-
ing success Of the Virginia in the waters of
Hampton Roads open new chapter in naval
warfare, and marks new era in the struggle
which the South is engaged in. The grand
movement Of the army Of the Potomac, in
Withdrawing from its offensive line on the
river Of that name, and assuming a defensive
one on the line Of The Rappahannock and Ra-
pioan, places a new complexion on the entire
war in Virginia. The policy of this change
of position with reference to the intended at
tack of TIE enemy is obvious. The Potomac
was the proper base for offensive operations
against Mary Wand and Washington city; but
as a line Of defence for Richmond; or for gen
eral resistance, it is the most dangerous that
could be held. The line upon which the army
under Gen. Joseph johnson is now falling
back, is in the nature of the arc of circle,
of which Richmond is the centre. The enemy
is put to the necessity Of marching a consid-
cradle distance inland before engaging our
forces If defeated in general engagement he
can scarcely escape humiliation; for he will
then be too far from the Potomac and from
Washington city to reach safety by a few
hours flight like that he made after the battle
of Manassas. If, on the contrary, he should
be successful in his encounter with our forces
he could not take advantage of his victory
on account Of the delay necessary to bring
up his supplies from the distant Potomac.
Whoever will take the trouble to examine
the map of Virginia, win 6nd that our line
of defence, as now adopted, stretches from the
Rappahannock, by grand circle, to Cum
berland Gap, in the extreme southwestern
corner of the State; embracing the Central
and the Virginia and Tennessee railroads the
chief cities OF Virginia, the valley of the James
with its canal and railroads within the cir
conference. 1t win be seen, too, that this is
purely line of defence, assumed now as a.
necessity in view of the great force which We
have, by our supine policy for six months,
permitted the ehemy to marshal and put in
position without disturbance, and at his leis-
ure and pleasure. 1t is distressing to give up
so large n.portion of Virginia, even for a sea-
son, to the domination Of the foe; but the
measure has become a strategetic necessity,
and is now the Surest means Of defeating the
grand progress Of the enemy and insurng the
success Of our cause. The surprise he will
from the magnificent naval occurrences
in Hampton Roads, aud from the iudicious
movements of our army which has so long
been threatening him before Washington, will
be very great Mere delay is ruin to him,
aud considerable delay in the execution OF his
programme is now inevitable

THE SENTINEL.
Yindictiye LegisIation.

The Legislature, which has just closed its
lahors at Annapolis, (may we never look up
on its like again, among other distinctions,
has won for itself particular and especial
honor for the malignity with which 1t has
hunted all whose convictions Of public duty
have led them to oppose the present ruinous
war, or the arbitrary doings Of the Federal
executive. 1t has attempted to adopt test
oath system, for example, which is worthy Of
the darkest hours Of English intolerance, the
manifest aim aud purpose Of which is, to
drive from public employment and otherwise
degrade all who are so unfortunate as to doubt
the honesty Of Mr.. Seward or the divinity Of
Mr.. Lincoln We are at liberty, it seems, at
least for the present, to differ about most 9TH
er political issues, but Che moment we call in
question the wisdom of the war policy Of the
President or his Cabinet, we are met by bill
of pains and penalties, which renders us in
capable of holding office, except at the price
Of perjury, or which subjects us to both fine
and imprisonment for our contumacy. Our
lawmakers have evidently acted upon the as
sumption, that they had the world in sling,
and that their political opponents in the State
had no rights which they were bound to re-
spect They flattered themselves, doubtless,
in the prosecution Of their proscriptive policy,
that they were making loyalty" a perma-
nent institution of the State, and consolida-
ting their own power. We incline to the
opinion that they will wake up one Of these
days and find themselves mistaken. A time
must come, nor is it as distant as1is supposed
i'll certain quarters, when Maryland shall BE-
restored to her normal condition, or, in
other words, shall enjoy her own again, free
alike from Federal bayonets and Federal in
timidation To the officiating members Of
the Legislature, which has just passed away,
and to all who in the evil hours Of our bon
dage have trodden and spit upon and shamed
US, it will be a day, we predict, if not Of sack
cloth and ashes, at least Of equitable reckon
ing st. Hary's Beacon.
