We have already announced the burs,
ing, at Charleston, on last Saturday
morning, of one Of the mammoth Eng lish
guns. AT the time Of writing no par tic.
ulars of the affair had reached US; but
from all we know of such ordnance, we
think IL likely that The catastrophe ioas
brought about By an attempt 10 make lang
Siot--d shot t0hioh should astonish The IAN
KEGS and Nro,o The Performance Of their heaU-
lest pieces ia he shade.
These guns were never designed for
this sort Of practice, aud cannot stand Il.
They are fashioned and designed for d-
rect shots at short range, when the weight
of their projectilas will crush irresisti-
bly, through earth, stone or iron. The
turret Of Monitor would be cAved in by
one plumb shot as completely "a a tall
silk hat would be crushed by . blow of
the fist of strong man. But the bar.
rel Of gun must DO horizontal or the
muzzle depressed. Even in horizontal
position the inertia of the bolt and the
friGti0h to be overcome cause as much
strain on the sides of the gun as any at
tainable thickness Of metal can with
EAdhus bul Aub UluAAAt ntinE tltNAtNht
say fifteen degrees, which is necessary
when greatrange is to be attained, the
immense weight of the bolt-from five
to seven hundred pounds-is superadedd
TO the already great strain upon the
sides, and the bursting of the piece is n
matter of course. The fact is we'll
known in England and among our sci
entfic naval men.
II will be recollected that the Yankees
burst their 800 pound Parrot gun at the
fifth shot, with its muzzle up, while
throwing shell from the centre Of Nor
ris leland into Cbarleston-a distance of
about five miles. In the entire absence
of knowledge of the facts, IL will be
borne in mind that we merely suggest
the elevation of the muzzle as the cause
of the bursting, we assert nothing II is
possible that She gun or the powder
might have been bad
While speaking of this gun, il may b.
interesting to our readers TO know some
thing Of the powder used in firing 1t -
The grains vary in size from the bigness
| of u damson seed 10 that of a peach
stone, and look like irregular Fragments
Of unburnished ebony. There il nothing
about their appearance to indicate tht
quality of the substance. We are in
formed by tho scientific that this powder
is made on the principle Of what il
known among boys rs "spit devil,
that is, it is so mixed as not TO explode
all at once like the fine grain powder
the inertia of the bolt being so great an
instantaneous explosion of the whole
charge would burst the gun, but the ig-
milton of the charge being gradual al
first the ball is started without any Rreat
strain on the rifles Of the piece, and Ql
is contended by the friends Of greaI
guns) is always successfully launched
on its mission of destruction.
| General Beauregard cannot hereafter
be ranked among the advocates Of mon
ster cannon at least of this nation, as W.
learn upon the best authority that b,
has telegraphed the authorities that they
need not send him any more Of them.

The GoLD-HEADED CANE OF AN Il. r..

tor of q hotel ia Washington, has shown
us a suggestive relic of the days Just be-
fore the rebellion, in the shape of gold
headed cane, bearing the superscriptiOn,
ok President John Tyler to his son,
General John Tyler, 1856" Mr.. Johns
came in possession of this cane in rather
peculiar circumstances. General John
Tyler stopped al his hotel in 1860, aud
after he had been there week, constant
ly drunk, Mr.. Johns presented his bill,
amounting to about sixty dollars. True
to the principles of the L. II. We, Gen.
Tyler scOrned to pay any attention to
such base pecuniary demands, and Mr..
Johns forthwith proceeded 10 eject him
from his establishment, making use Of
such applications as the emergency de-
handed. As General Tyler reached the
lowest step of the hotel, he valianuy
turned, and raising the identical caue in
question, which be said his father had
presented TO him for killing ono go YAM
kee, he threatened ID thrash Mr.. Johns.
By skillful flank movement, the bellig-
erent General was laid sprawling upon
the pavement aud his cane was trans
ferred 10 Mr.. Johns possession, where it
has since remained. Daring the session
of the Peace Convention in Washington,
Mr.. Johns called upon Ex-President ly-
Ter, who was one Of the delegates, ADD
stating the circumstances, offered 10 give
up the cane if the bill WAS paid. The
Ex-President pooh poOhed the idea, and
the cane, therefore, did not again change
