the cheering reception given BY the
dows-trodden and oppressed men, who

prising contrast with the course pursued
BY the natives Of Virgins. Even in

much altered to-day. The scovls Of
the black hearted secessiooists are ss
frequently seen. as the smiles Of loyal

that, but for the presence Of Federal

How BoMB-SHELLs ARE MADR.-The
manufacture OF bomb-shells are very
interesting. The shell is first filed
with old-fashioned round loaded bullets;
melted sulphur is then poured into the
interstices and bind the bullets in one
solid mass; the shell is then put into .
kind Of lathe, and a cylindrical hole Of
the exact size Of the ori6ce OF the shell
is bored through the bullets and sui
phur; this cavity is filed with powder
even with the interior edge Of the ori-
6ce, a six inch shell Of the kind here
described holding about half pound.
The fuse fitted to the orifee is re-
cent Belgian invention, made Of pewter,
and resembles the screw cap used for
the patent fruit cans. An examination
OF this pewter cap shows, however, that
il is made Of two hollow discs Of metal
screwed together. and filed with meal
powder. A number Of 6ne holes are
drilled in the lower disc. while the outer
disc is entire and marked with figures
in circle, I, 2. 5, 4. In this state the
shell is water proof. When taken for
use, the gunner, by means Of ssmall
steel instrument, scoops out portion
Of the metal surface and lays bare the
charge Of composition powder below
It. II the shell is desired to explode
in one second after leaving the gun the
scooping is made on the figure /; il in
two seconds. on the figure 2. and so on;
the idea being that the shells Of this
description shall first strike the object
aimed at and do execution as ball,
and then explode. sending the bullets
forward as il from another cannon Ioca-
ted at the point where the fight Of the
shell is arrested. Large shells of eight
or ten inches are filed wish powder on
ly. and bursting. do execution BY means
Of their fragments. These large shells
are generally fixed by means OF fuse
or meal powder, extending through a
brass plug screwed into the mouth Of
the shell. In both cases the fuse is
fred by the ignition Of the charges in
the gun.

~n any city 10 the South next to
Charleston requires to be puaished for
setive participation in this rebelHoa. it
is Memphis. She differs from almost
every Southern city In the large prepor-
ton Of Nostheru men residing therein.
Almost the entire trade and traffic Of
the place Is carried on BY men Of North
ern or foreign birth. OF The latter the
jews form g large proportion. For
these parties there cannot be furnished
tbs excuse that men born and raised in
the South, and imbued with their senti-
ments Of hatred to The North, might be
presumed with some show of reason To
possess. These men know perfectly
well the utter falsity of the charges
against the North. With incompatible
meanness they transcended the most
loud nouthsd traitors in heaping abuse
and slsnders upon their own kindred.
which they well knew to be false. Is
it any wosder that native Soutberners
seeing this should be more fally con-
vinced of the truth Of their assertions.
To Memphis belongs the infamous
notoriety Of burying the "Stars and
Stripes" at the feet of the statue Of
Gen. Jackson. No more despicably
mean and Internally wicked insult to
our flag has yet been offered 10 an "se-
cessia." The shooting Of It down at
Fort Sumter was 3 deed worthy to be
boasted Of compared with this low, dir
ty, mean, sneak-thief trick Of the trai.
tors in Memphis. But that flag will be
sxhumsd. The Northern dough-faces
and sons Of gsau who participated in
that funeral, are about to feel the ven
gesnce of an outraged people. We
trust it may be dealt to them with an
unsparing hand. Examples are needed
to deter future generations from the
commission Of like offences. But we
are prepared to hear lamentable stories
from these Memphisites. of oppression,
and overwhelming force. &c., and like
all towards they will be ready and anx-
ious to take the oath Of allegiance. and
make loud professions of loyalty and
love for the Union.
