.. The rebels are now threatening a war Of
determination. The jackson Mississippian
recommends the assassination Of General
Butler. The Richmond Dispatch recon-
mends the assassination Of, Gen. Fremont.
The Lyuchburg Rep lblican urges the as
sassination Of Andy johnson. The rebels
are full of threats, that if their guerrillas are
not. treated as other. prisoners Of war, they
will take terrible vengeance on the prisoners
in 4 their, hands. Hindmap, in Arkansas
wrote to Gen.. Curtis, threatening war Of
extermination, unless his marauders are
dealt gently with when caught. 1t strikes
us that our Southern brethren are not esr
pecialIy fortunate in their situation if they
propose to carry on a var Of determination.
Their principal cities are in our hands.
Our armies have penetrated into their thick
.ly populated slave districts. We have six
rebels Generals in Fort Warren. They
have but one Federal General. Now, Is
they commence the hanging, we have
prison tweuty Thousand traitors who cou
be hung with ''neatness and Dispatch ~
are in possession ofa great many secsl
towns. an Of which could be burnt witt
any severe eff,rt on our part. And y
sassination is to be the game, negroes
said to be adopts in the art, and It
not be difficult to put them at ik
whole. we would not advise our 81
brethren to commence war Of cxte

those on which the builders Of other ships
had gone, itso happened that those who
constructed the Warrior had adopted the
most satisfactory form Of side for sustaining
the effect Of heavy projectiIes. [Hear, hear.]
Experiments had been made with,a gun not
rified. but made on the Armstrong principle,
from which 15o-pound shot had been fired
with q fifty pound charge of powder. The
target was first struck at a part which was
supported in the rear by piece Of frame
work, which gave that portion ofthe section
additional strength to what it would have in
the ship. On the moment it was impossible
to examine the target in the rear, and the
appearance which it presented was that Of
being absolutely destroyed; but after taking
down the supports It was manifest that less
damage had been inflicted on the internal
| skin than was supposed to have occurred
On 4 very recent occasion Tuesday last, he
thought there was another experiment
tried, in the presence Of a large number Of
spectators. including several members Of
that and the other House Of Parliament. A
portion Of the target, about two feet square,
which had not hitherto been hit was fred at
with shot Of $50 pounds, thrown with
great velocity, the charge Of powder being 80
pounds. The effect was perfectly clear
The arinor plate was tally damaged q
great orifce was made in it, and the frag-
ments were driven into the wooden back
and absorbed by It. And emieht say that
the internal skin was bulged out but the
interior itself resisted the shot A person
leaning against the inside would have re-
ceived a severe blow, but a person standing
q short distance from the inside Of the Sec
ton ,could not hnue receipe1 any injury
What he deduced from this was, that as at
two hundred yards they would not penetrate
ship like the Warrior, it was impossible
that with such gunas the one used in these
experiments, they could penetrate such a
ship at twelve hundred yards. [TIear, hear
The gun in question was very large one,
constructed on the Armstrong principle,
Z - q Es.sE s s.tsf ~
and. as good a one as they were likely to
have produced. 1t consisted of a. series Of
coils, and at the fifth or sixth of these was
the chamber in which the powder and shot
were. placed. A strengthening coil was
placed at that part Of the gun, On one oc,
casion, ninety pounds Of powder were put
in, and that quantity caused the charge to
extend beyond the Strengthening coil. The
result Of firing the g,n under, such circum=
stances was to cause an impression to be
made on coil next the one to which he had
referred but the gun had been fired three
times since with a fifty=pound charge, and
no further impression had been made on it,
which showed that it was quite fit for SER
vice with that weight Of charge. 49,. .s,t

~ THs Music orrHs SroRx.--It is related
that in Germany there stood two vast towers
farapart, on the. extremes of castle and
that the old baron to whom the castle be-
longed, under the influence Of some fantastic
feeling, stretched huge wires across from
one to the other, thus constructing an molian
harp. Ordinary winds produced no effect
upon It but when fierce storms and mighty
winds reused themselves up, and came rush
ing down the mountains and through the
valley, and hurled themselves against those
wires, then they began to roll ont majestic
strains of music. 1t is just 81 With many
of the chords ofreligion and patriotism. They
are untouched in times Of prosperity, when
they are famed by balmy zephyrs, and re-
galed by rare perfumes; but when God plays
upon them with violent tempests, that bring
trouble and suffering. then the deeper tones
Of our nature sound forth: .Andswc are CON-
ing 10 those. tones now, whom men are beiag
ttoachcd by the fhsser and Spiritrof God.

nothing more than the fact that Gen. Bragg
had fallen back from his late position, dis
tance of forty miles, for the purpose OF Sc
curing subsistence. The combinations Of the

no doubt rendered such step absolutely
necessary. 1t il Enrrnsed also that Rrse-
