Experiments in ArmOr and ARTILLERY.


Interesting experiments have been made
in England, lately, in illustrating the pow
ers Of artillery against iron armOr, some
Of which are thus described;
"Mr. HOrsfall and Mr.. Whitworth, the
one with an enormous smooth-bore gun,
throwing q ball of 275 pounds, with a
charge Of 70 pounds; the other with bolt
she'll, weighing $50 pounds carrying three
pounds Of powder in a chamber pierced
through one-tenth Of its length, and fired
with 8 charge of % pounds, have gone
near to demonstrate that impenetrable
irOn-clads do not yet exist.
Gan iron target which had been simply
dented by a66-poundsr fred from smooth
bore gun at 200 yards, and only penetrat-
ed at this range by the S00-pounder Arm
strong gun, was smashed by the Horsfsll
gun at 200 yards, and shattered by the
same gun at 800 yards.
The WhitWorth bolt-shell at..6O0 yards
went clean through 44 inches of iron back
ed by Is inches of solid teak wood, tore
everything to pieces, and burst in the rear
with & tremendous explosion. And this
was done with charge Of % pounds of
powder, charge Of 5OpOunds having been
heretofore required for work at all approx
imating to this. Of course, therefore, Mr..
| WhitWorth's experiments, the result Of a
combination Of his own studies upon the
projectile, with those of Armstrong upon
the cannon, at once doubles the ultimate
prospective limit Of artillery range, and,
as the English observers Of the trial which
took place September 18th at shoebury-
ness, report, "displaces the conclusions
drawn from the exploits of the Merrimac
/ and Arkansas

At the late meeting of the Masons at
Columbus, a report was presented and
adopted Of which the following is a part:
Your committee would heartily reefirm
the resolution adopted by this Grand body
st its last annual communication That
in the present unnatural contest, the insti-
tuition Of Free Masonry has no attribute
that can tske..sides with rebellion for in
ell her constitutions, laws and edicts, she
has ever ineulcated true allegiance and
6delity 10 civil government, and totally
diseountenaneed 'oOnspiraoies and rebel
lion.
aBut while Masons, as individuals, are
justified in shedding blood, if need be, in
support Of their legitimate government,
the ancient institution will never array
herself in the habiliments of war.
at is her provinces to WELD the trowel as
the truneheon Of peace, and with it she
viii spread upon the disrupted arch of-oUr
National Union fthe cement Of brotherly
love and friendship, so that, peradven-
ture, in the words Of our gifted brother,
Vsux, Of Pennsylvania, Fif all bonds
should be brOken-au ties rent asunder
IL diseord, dissension and disruption shall
mark the decline and fall of the most wise
and wonderful Of the governments Of man
kind-let the Masonic temple in all states,
kingdoms, lands, peoples, or eonfederacies,
be the common refuge Of an indestruetable
Masonic Confraternity.'

UaiOB TrpOPI GuardInE Rebel stores.

We publish elsewhere 3 statement by q
S5rFespondent of the New York Times,
from the advance in front Of Washington,
regarding the prospect Of the rebels being
starved out. From this 1t appears that
all through the valley between the Bull Run
and Blue Ridge mountains, the crops are
abundant, and the hocks and herds as
plentiful as in days of peace. All thought
Of starving the rebels out, is preposterOus
Supplies are being constantly shipped to-
ward Richmond, to furnish winter stores
for the army. 1t is General Lees inten-
tion to keep his army in Northern Virgin
ia only long enough to secure all this
produce, when he will move towards Rich
nond. But the worst feature of the case
is that the Federal army is really guarding
these immense crops, and virtually acting
guard to the Company and Subsistence
Department Of the rebel army. The peO-
pie had hoped that this policy was done
with, except in BuelPs army. The idea of
suffering all these ersps to go quietly to
Richmond, when they might be brought to
Washington, is an outrage upon the
country, and viii go far to strengthen
the people in the belief that Major Key
was right in his explanation of the delay
Of the army.

Commodore Wood, of Washington, D. c.,
has succeeded in effecting the release Of
over 100 Union prisoners at Salisbury,
and will have them at Aiken's Landing the
latter part of this week.
The Richmond Enquirer, of the 20th,
says dispatches transpiring with the War
Department state nothing more Ehan that
Bragg had fallen back from his former
position, distance Of forty miles, to re-
ceiVe Subsistence. The combination of
the Federals having been strongly REIN
forced rendered this more necessary.
1t is surmised that Rosecrans had com
mand Of a strategic movement to form a
junction with Buell. and cut off our army
entirely.
We have nothing new from the Army
Of the Potomac. The enemy's cavalry have
renewed their raids on Farquier, and on
Saturday visited Bristow Station on the
Orange and Alexand ia Railroad. They
also visited Warrenton again in considera-
Bile force
A train laden with railroad stuff mar
Iowly escaped being captured on Saturday
at Bristow.
500 paroled Union prisoners were sent
down to Nemea yesterday for exchange.
General Echols, who at present COM
mands the forces in the Kanawha Valley,
has issued an order urging farmers to
come to Kanawha for salt and bring for
age for the army.
We learn from Jackson, Miss, that the
bridge across Cypress Greek was burned
by the enemy, and our forces were not
aware Of the destruction till they were at
the creek on their retreat. They were then
forced to run down the creek and cross at
the mill dam, where the enemy had q com
manding position, The slaughter of our
troops here was very heavy here.

General Advance.

The HarpeFs Ferry correspondent Of the
Times insists that the late movement. upon
CharlestOwn was the preliminary Of a
general advance Of the Army of the PotO-
mac, Notwithstanding the assertion that it
was simply intended as a reconnaissance
in force. In proof of this he cites the fact
that the baggage and cOmmissary trains
accompanied the troops. The retrograde
movement was determined upon through
fear Of counter movement on the part Of
the enemy, which they might have execut-
ed before a sufficient body Of our troops
could have been moved across the river to
render the advance secure.
Why this was not provided for before
hand, we are not informed.

FROM YIRGTNIA-

BOLIVAR HEIGHTs, Nh, Oct. "a
Contrabsnds from Stonewall Jackson's
command report that after the utter de-
struction of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road west of Martinsburg, the entire rebel
army commenced falling back yesterday
morning. that rebel officers believe that
Lees intention is to winter near Gordons-
vile.
This reported falling back is eorrobor-
ated by unusually strong picketing in our
front yesterday and to-day.
This morning q squad of rebel cavalry
came on our Tidettes unperceived, and
dashed into our infantry pickets, who were
driven back with considerable firing on
both sides.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 25.
To Major General HaIlcck, COmmander-in-
Chief
Our armies are entirely successful again
in Northwestern Arkansas. General
Schoield finding that the enemy had en-
camped at Pea Ridge, sent General Blunt
with the first division westward, and mov-
ed towards Huntsville with the rest of his
force.
General Blunt, by making hard nights
march, reached and attacked the rebel
force at Maysville, near the northwest cor
ner of Arkansas, at seven o'clock on the
morning of the 22d inst. The enemy was
estimated from 5000 to 1000 strobg.
The engagement lasted about one hour,
resulting in the total rOut of the enemy
and the loss of all his artillery, battery
of six Founders, large number of horses,
and a portion of their transportation and
garrison equipments. Our cavalry and
light howitEers were stiIl in pursuit Of the
scattered forces Wien the messenger left.
Our loss is small General Schofeld
pursued General Hindman beyond Hunts
vile, coming close upon him, when his for
ces precipitately fed beyond the Boston
mountain.
All the organized forces Of the rebels
have thus been driven back to the valley
of the Arknnsas river, and the army Of the
frontier has gallantly and successfully ae-
oOmplished its commission.
