CAPT. TRAVIS GUN.-Throush the po-
1iteness of Capt. John Travis we have late
ly had an opportunity Of examining the
breech.loading cannon, upon the construc-
tion of which he has been engaged for a
considerable time, and which is now com.
pieted in all its parts. The object has been
to produce gun Of small calibre, suited by
its lightness for service in any kind of coun-
try whatever, and which should combine
rapidity, accuracy and efficiency of fire.
To- the attainment of this object Captain
Travis has brought his unrivaled experience
in the use of small arms, and is satisfied
that he has what he has been seeking and
from an inspection of the piece, together
with his explanations, it would certainly
seem that, for partisan service, or for service
in conjunction with cavalry force. he has
produced just the thing wanted.
The gun itself is thirty inches long 10
the barrel, and weighs ninety-seven pounds;
with carriage and full ammunition boxes
the eutire weight is seven hundred pounds.
If necessary, it car be taken apart and the
different pieces transported on the backs of
horses or mules, and then put together a.
gain with the utmost ease and expedition.
The gunvwill be sent to Richmond in q
few days, for inspection by the authorities
there. .--Mobiie Register.

Mechanical Arts,

If the money that has been expended in
fitting out vessels to run the blockade with
Yankee goods in them-thus affording aid
and comfort to our enemy-had been offer.
ed as premiums to Southern mechanica, by
this time we should have been able to man
ufacture most goods that we need. The
imported goods have furnished asconven.
ience to the rich only, who could afford to
purchase, thus creating distinctions betwsen
rich and poor-a bad example at any time
to republican people, much worsein time
of war. - D.
We propose grand society in Georgia to
improve ourselves in the mechanical arts,
begging the rich to begin in this laudable
enterprise and send their sons to engage in
some useful art. It isa shame toIus that
in many counties, no one has tact enough 10
manufacture barrel that will preserve sy-
rup or liquor! We can make white cotton
cloth, but none know howto make prints
none can make dyes for coloriug and hun
dreds of other arts might be named, of
which not q man in the State knows any
thing. Who can manufacture glass, stereo.
type plates, needles, pins, &c.
True, our planting Interest may be more
profitable, but if we gain thatfor which We.
are contending-and who doubts it2-mnst
we be- dependent on our enemies? No na-
tiou that repudiates mechanical arts can be
independent, nor flourish as those that try
to make everything that is needed in the
land. Our troubles have aughtus mary
good lessons, and our coarse clothes, &c, are
of great service to us, and our patriotic wo-
men deserve great praise for their industry
and self sacrificing spirit.
Such society as has been named will
render the mechanical arts respectable, and
rescue them from the degradation which
has been cast upon them.
. Rittenhouse aud franklin were mechan.
les, the most distinguished mes of any age.
Now, whether we like or dislike the thing
We. must come to it, and the sooner the bet
ter. Those that start early in the aras will
have decided advantage.
Who are fast getting rich in the land?
Mechanics. Thirty dollars for shoes, fifty
|;tossixty for boots, 6gehundred fra a buggy,

Dogs and Dog Oil.

The revelations made in Mr.. Ferney-
hough's letter to Mr.. McCue are certainly
very surprising. He tells US that dog oil is
equal almost to neat's foot oil for dressing
leather, and that it is worth SIS a gallon.
Each dog will yield gallon of oil. More.
over, dog skins make excellent kid gloves,
first rate summerbo boots for gentlemen, and
number one ladies' shoes; Each dog skin
dressed, is worth s3s. Moreover, the car.
casses of skinned dogs make valuable in
gredient in nitre beds Moreover, 500, 900
dogs destroy over So, 900, 900 worth of sheep
in year. Adding dog oil to dog leather,
dog kid, dog nitre, and saved sheep, the
grand total of dog revenue to the State,
which might be made by proper disrosi.
tion of the dogs. would be, at rough esti.
mate, forty.fve or fifty millions Of dollars.
Of course, it would not do to kill all the
dogs the FIRST year. Enough should be left
to keep up the breed. In fact, they are SO
profitable, that the greatest attention ought
to be paid to dog culture so that the annu.
al dog crop should amount to 100000
spare dogs, or say fifty million dollars. The
subject is worthy of serious consideration.
Perhaps the best plan would be for some
enterprising capitalist to establish in this
city dog oil mill. He would find no diff
iculty in getting dogs enough to make
fair experiment. The dog-net men would
make him present Of all their captures,
and negroes would sell him their coon dogs
and bench leg fee at very reasonable price.
As to dog oil, tits evident that Mr.. Fer
neyhough has not tested all its virtues. The
fastidious may object to its use as condi-
ment for salads, but, regarded as aprepara-
tion of bark, dog oil might prove eficacious
in miasmatic diseases. Why shouldn't
canine he substitute for quinine, and who
shall say that, on the principle, sin'ilia ST.
milibus earantur, the active principle, of
dog may not turn out to be the long sought
specific for hydrophobia? For aught we
know, the world, familiar as it is with dog
latin, may still be in the very alphabet Of
g.knowledge.-Richmsond Wing.

Intelligence has reached this coutry from
Africa, (says the London Inde1, J of the
failure of the Universities Mission. In
connection with this subject, the success of
the African mission in the Confederate
States is worthy Of attention. In a note
appended to the "Address Of the Southern
Clergy to Christians throughout the World"
we are informed that "The number OF co.
lored communicates is about five hundred
thousand. Assuming the coiored popula-
ton to be four millions, there would be one
fourth of the adult population in oommu'

Chickanaauga.

:. A correspondent Of the Charleston Con-
rier gives the following account Of the ori
gin and meaning Of the name Chickamau-
ga: -+'.- '''7''. .-.'. -.
In the spring of 1858, while seeking the
benefit of change of climate and relaxa.
ton from, laborious duies,I met with the
late Colonel ,W.bitsside, at Chattanooga
Among the many interesting traditions as
sociated with various localities in this beau
tiful region Of country, he related one'in
explanation of the. meaning of the word
"Chickamauga," and how, it came to be
applied to the two small:streams which bear
this name. A tribe of Cherokees occupied
this region, and when the small pox was
first communicated to the Indians of this
Continent it appeared in this tribe, and
made frightful havoc among them. Ipwas
the custom Of the Indians, at the height Of
the disease, to go by scores and jump into
the river to allay the tormentipg symptoms.
This, of course, increased the mortality,
and the name "Chickapauga,1p or ssRiver
of DEATH" was applied to the two streams,
which they have borne ever since. The
remnant of the tribe was also afterwards
called the "Cbickamaugatribe." We hope
General Bragg will call his great victory
the Battle Of Chickamauga, and not "Pea.
vine Creek" or "Crawfsh Springs" as is
suggested in Rosecrans' dispatch. He has
certainly craaeRshed out of Georgia, but we
prefer "Chickamauga," or "RiVer of
Death"

OF A WEEK.-Tbursday, the 3Oth Of A.

the Lincoln and Seward government, for
the suppression of what they call 'fhe re-

On the same day the rebel Gen. Forrest
met the Federals at Moulton, Alabama,
and routed and pursued them.
On the next day, (May 1st,) the Yam

repulsed and driven from the field.
On the same day, Col. Edgar's battalion
met the Federal cavalry, one thousand
strong, at Lewisburg, Va, and defeated
them.
On the Sd of May, General Forrest, af.
ter FIVE days hard marching and fighting,
captured sixteen hundred of the enemy and
took their horses and arms. .....
On the I'd and Sd of May, the army of
Northern Virginia achieved Ga great vic
