RIFLED CANNON

The recent cannonade at Fort Pickens de-
monstrated once more the immense superiority
OF rilied cannon over even the heaviest smooth
bores. The steamer Richmond remained at
anchor and took part in the attack, almost un-
harmed, until the rebels brought two iifled
guns to bear on heri when they got her range
with these guns the put one ten-inch shell fair
ly in her hull, and it was found necessary to
haul the vessel off, her own smooth bore gums
being unable to do the enemy enough injury to
counterbaance the risk.
So too in the attack on our fleet in the Mis-
sissippi by Commodore Hollins it was not his
celebrated steam-ram which proved the most
formidable, but small steamer with riAed can
non. Our ships were not then supplied with
these weapons, and Colonel Brown, of Fort
Pickens, mentions in his official report. printed
IN another page, that he had to let Commodore
Mex have his OILY rihed 3O-pounder and a
riiled l2-pounder to put on one of the vessels
of the Mississippi squadron to prevent from be-
ing driven out of the river by one little steam
er.
The report of Colonel Brown demands the
immediate and earnest attention of our Ordn-
ance bureau and of the navy authorities. He
tells no new story, for the English and French
have already proved theoretically and practically
that the speed of the vessel and the range of
the guns must be the test of success in modern
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1862-01-02

naval engagements. A little steamer on the
Mississippi possessing both these, but lacking
size and strength, and having but one or at the
most two guns, proved herself very formida-
bic foe for whole feetj and, playing at long
bowls with two Of our finest frigates with per.
feet impunity to herself, forced them to run
away.
That smiling vessels are useless for blocka-
ding purposes is very evident; the Secretary of
the Navy provided as quickly as was possible
all the steamers that could be got. and in his
report he states that a large number of new
steam gunboats are nearly ready for sea- These
gunboats are of light draught and will he arm
ed we understand with one or two heavy riaed
guns each The gunboats are likely to be of
much greater service for cur navy, which is in
tended for defense rather than for offonse than
the huge hundred gun ships to build and keep
which exhousts the revenues of England and
France.
Colonel Brown speaks well of the Parrot
gun, and his opinion, officially given, must have
great weight We trust that he will at once
receive the supply of these guns he asks for.
''li had had guns to be depended on | could
hoYe silenccd most Of the enemys sand bat
teres and the guns in Barrancas," he saws.

The CAREER OF A NILLAIN.-The Skancate-
las Democrat, last week, gives the upshot in
the case of an iinposter, young Englishman
by the name of Nurse, resident of that vii
lage, who some months ago, it was announced,
had inherited handsome property by the de-
mise of a relative in England, and that with it
had descended title which was to fall upon
him under the style OF "Sir James Burdett
Nurse" Captain Of the Queens Own Guard, y
&c
The young nobleman ha, hourshed gaily in
the best Of society Of Skaneateles for some
months. lie formed the acquaintance of the
daughter of worthy citizen of English de-
scent, courted and married her. They made a
grand welding tour, returned to Skaneaieles,
took elegant apartments at the Lake House,
set up an "Engsh cab" and hourished gen.
orally in grand style.
Occasionally "Sir james" made a flying trip
to New York to look after remittances which he
claimed came throu h an eminent banking
house known as the firm OF "Belmont & Co."
On the 4th inst, he made one of these yisits,-
the last, as he took his portable property" his
wardrobe, and has not since been heard from.
The ceecks he gave to his personal friends,
just before he decamped, have been dshonored ;
forged note, for several hundred dollars, bears
his father in-law's name he is indebted to
many Of the business men, tradesmen and far
mers Of Skaneateles. His young wife, cheated,
broken-hearted and disconsolate, has returned
