Cape Race, May 26.-The news
by the Canada Of the Capture Of N.
Orleans was received and was the
occasion Of much surprise and con-
siderable disbelief, but coming from
Southern sources it was generally
agreed that there was no room for
doubt. 1t produced no influence on
the cotton market.
The London Times says:
There is only one thing wanting
that cotton should come down. If
the Southern planters trust it to the
Federals. sufficient will doubtless be
got to relieve the manufacturers, but
if they remove or destroy their stocks
or refuse to bring them down. it is
hard to say what was gained by the
capture of New Orleans.
The capture is creditable to the
skill Of the North, and is also an
item in the revenge of the Federals,
but if the City is blockaded on the
land side by the Confederates, the
gain will not be much by this misti-
cation of the blockade Of the sea.
In another article the Times says:
1t is vain to deny the Importance
of the event. but if the Southerners
mean what they say in their loud
talking. they can never be con-
que1ed.
The Morning POS, also doubts it,
and thinks if confirmed it will seri-
ously affect the fortunes of neither
party although u serious loss to the
South, It says, the utter hopeless
ness of the struggle is more appar-
ant at each successive stage.
The impression prevailed in Man
chester that the event would bring
forward much cotton.
1t was reported that Count Per-
signy was suddenly ordered from
Paris to London.

Worcester daily spy. [volume] (Worcester [Mass.]) 1850-1888, 1862-10-29

We desire to call the attention of those
who wish to furnish themselves or their
friends with an effective fire arm, to the "Bal-
lard breech-loading rifle" which we know
something about, and feel able to commend
from personal acquaintance, as a most admi-
rable weapon. whether for offense or defense.
1t was invented by the gentleman whose name
it bears, and is manufactured by the firm of
Ball & Williams of Worcester, for whom he
is foreman.
1t is light rihe-weighing only about seven
pounds, of excellent proportion, hanging well
in the hand, and coming well to the shoulder.
1t has five grooves, and is made in two cali
bers: viz: 3S-l00ths Of an inch and 44-l00ths
the former being most approved for sporting
purposes. 1t is made with three lengths of
barrel, viz "a, 26, and rs inches; the short
est being finished also into carbine for
mounted officers and cavalry, which has found
so good acceptance with government officials
in high positions as to gain government or
der to have it tested by an experienced officer
at West Point: who made his report over date
of June 10, 1862, sayng-atter describing its
parts, action, &C., and the rapidity with which
it can be altogether 1t is the
very best breech-loadng carbine, that has
been presented to me for trial"
The action of the arm is simplicity itself.
A graceful and well proportioned scroll guard
covers the trigger, us is usual in rifles. This
folds forward toward the muzzlc upon pivot
as in the Sharp rife-and in doing so draws
down the lock, hammer, &C., uncovering the
breech end of the barrel so that the eye looks
readily through the whole length of the tube
A cartrdge-the metallic cartridges now so
common and so convenient, containing the
Illuminating powder in the end turthest from
the BULLETS then slipped in, when the guard
is drawn back to its usual posture, which
brings up the lock (with the hammer always
taking its place safely at half cock) to its nor
nal position, closing the breech 50 firmly and
tightly that no gas can escape in the instant
of exposion-when the gun is ready to be
cooked and fired. After firing, the guard is
dropped, uncovering the breech; by most
ingeniously simple contriyance, the old cart
ridge case is thrown out; new cartridge is
put in; the guard thrown back; and the gun
is ready to be cooked and fred again.
This rifle can thus be fred, without taking

''GIvE THIS TO MY MoTHER"-On the

with gasp and a moan, were these words
whispered from the white lips of heroic SOL

passed the reve1ed memento into the hands
of a comrade near. Those loving lips never
moved again to tell his name or home; in
stantly he fell back dead, and a noble spirit
passed into a world free from care and pain.
