NEW ORD1sAscE.-The Commaoder.in-
Ch'a Of the South Atlantic Blockade fleet, Is
not weeded to his Is inch guns, as to be In.
sensible to the progress Of ordnance ideas.
There is now In course Of construction, and
almost ready for an experiment, o gun devised
BY him, which, If successful, will not only be
In keeping with modern theories, but which
will reyolutionize naval artillery. Some idea
mny be formed Of the magnitude Of the inno-
yation, from the fact that the new piece is In
tended to bum twice as much powder as the
immense elton gun, which now consumes
tlirty-fiyc pounds at each discharge. There
is also being constructed, Under the supezvts-
ion of an inventor, whose name is assocfated
with tho origin ola new navy, a tremendous
cannon, calculated to Withstand, on ship
board, the explosion Of ninety pounds Of gun
powder. >.

missionary, d political writer, Unitarian
preacher, and always phi1anthropist, whose
paptr, TIE Rop2e, Was known to many In
America, had . printing press given to him d
few years ago, by the aid Of which to dlssem-
mate lis principles. He sold the press, came
to this country, and went South. We don't
know what he did there, but he succeeded
(hayirg returned to EDg1and) in getting the
following passed at q meeting ut Bury, Lanc.-
shire, in the first week Of last month: stThat
this meeting, believing that the disastrous
war now desolating America and affecting
Europe, can accomplish no good object, would
urge upon our Government to cDdeayor to
bring 1t to 4 speedy end by recognizing the
independence Of the Confederate States"

that there is q child Of Jefferson Davis, the
President OF dhe so-called Southern Confed-
eracy, belng educated a1nongthe stockbzidge
Indians, attheir settlement In Shawnee coan-
II. Davis, 1t Is well known, was stationed at
Fort Winnebaggo, some years ago, and there
formed the acquaintance Of the mother Of the
child, . Menomonee squaw." What are the
Copperheads Of this State about? Have the
admirers Of jeff Davis no heart? Why not
collect that subscription, by pleasant fiction
supposed to have been donated to sick and
wounded soldiers, By the Coppcrhead Conyen-
ion, and apply 1t ut once to the rescue OF this
child Of JET Dagiss It would be stunning
card at Copperhead meetings, and might be
credited as an arbitrary exile, caased BY Pres
ident Lincoln, or violation OF the Constisu-
tion. BIZ all means, have this young halt-
breed brought down here and installed in the
rooms OF the Inyincib1e Club, or send 1t dorm
to Richmond as IN olive branch.

one OF the professions entered the town,
and along came wagons, carriages, bug
gies and horses, in what appeared to be
an endless stream. Truely it was an army
with banners. Nothing like it has been
seen in eastern Ohio. The professions
were two hours in passing through the
town, and the vehicles on the ground
numbered nearly or quite five hundred
AS to the number of persons present
thsre will, of course, be some difference o
Iopinion; but Mr. Hickman, a soldier, who
was one of the speakers, has had many
opportunities to enable him to form cor

in his address that he was satisfied tha
thirty thousand persons were present.
