H The Copperheads OF Connecticut ex-
press the belief that If the Union army meets
with severe defeat before the day of elec~
ton, they are sure Of carrying the State. For
once, we believe they are right.
, 1863-03-23

the foundation Of the Government down
to the breaking out Of the war. To rob a
gardener Of the fruit Of his honest toll, is
as much an infraction Of the law, as to tell
a negro slave that away up North there is
a country where his limbs will be unfetter-
ed, and where no dealer in flesh aud blood
will sell his babe away from its mothers
breast. Yet we have never heard that the
districts or countries adjoining our large
towns had any thought Of seeding.
There arc certainly LAWS in our State,
and laws Of the United States, for the col
lection Of debts; and the obligation to pay
. debt iaten-fold more binding upon every
man, than the demands Of that law Of
Congress which makes it penal offence
to give an escaped slave, flying for liberty
and life, cup Of water or crust ofbrcad
But in spite OF the law and the moral obi
CATION, the City Of New York, to ray
nothing Of Philadelphia, Boston, Cincin-
natl and Chicago, has annually suffered
more from the delinquency and dishonesty
Of Southern creditors, than the South has
eycr suffered from the loss Of slave prop
ertJ By unlawful agency. But when has
New York proposed to secedo from the
s}a7e-holding States!
The right Of every American citizen to
| hs onn property, liberty and life, is surely
.s high, as inriolable, and as sacred as the
right of any STAKEHOLDER to the bones, toll
and blood Of his fellow man. The right is
recognized in the Constitution and the laws
| Of the United States, and in the Constitution
and laws Of each Of the States. But, during
the last ten years, for every slare that has
been cnticed from Southern hands by men
Of anti-slavery opinions, probably at least
two Northern men have suffered pecun1ary
loss, personal outrage and indignity, and,
IN sone cases, violent death, for the crime,
not known to any law, Of having opinions
with which majority Of the South docs
not agree. We do not say that, in view Of
the number, Illegally and righteousness ol
tho1e outragcs, the North ought not to
havs pursued theirp perpetrators with arms

The TRUE DEFINITION OF CorfERHEAD.-
At dinner party given In New York, In
1775, says the Etrning 1bst, gentleman of
considerable notoricty as Wit, vas asked,
"Pr ray, what is Tory" he replied, IA
Tory Is 8 creature whose head is in England,
while his body is in America, and think the
two parts ought to- be Joined By
stretching the neck.''. We have still persons
among us not unlike this description Of the
Tory, whose beads arc In Richmond, while
their bodies are In New York; and though
we might not recommend the old revolution
arr wits plan Of bringing tho two parts
together by stretching the Intervening mem
b.aues, wo should certainly not object to sec
ing tue body sent where the head Is.

az The Buffalo Courier says I" the time has
come when NC mnst provide for the carrying
trade Of the great West or lose it. The im-
proTemtnt Of the eanal, and the establishment
of low rate Of tolls, mill alone prevent d.
yers,cu that will be ruinous. As the Joar'ta!
If Commerce remarks, and IS Ne have before
lad occasion to say, 1T would be better for
New Ysrk to provide for railways and FREQ
canals, rather than thss tbs carrying trade
should be diverted to other ahanaels, or
conflict of interest and feeling be snsendsred
betceu the East and Wcst.''
IscoRREcT.---A fam days since, saJt the
Davenport Gazette, the Des Moines correspon-
dent Of Chicago paper telegraphcd to that
journal, that Gov. Kirkwood aud Gen. Baker
started for Vicksburg last Saturday, and We
notice since that . fen Of our Iowa exchanges
copy the item and give II to their readers as a
fact It is, NO doubt, Be6s to shest gentle
men to learn that they are on their NAY to
Vicks6urg. Cor. Kirkwood was In this city
last Monday, and Gen. Baker has no idea Of
leaving his business to get a sight Of the rebel
stronghold on the Mississippi.
E The New York Vor!d, while 1t con-
dcmns the traitorous position Of Tom Sey-
monr, the Copperhead candidate for Governor
Of Connecticut, urges its friends to rote for
him, simply as condemnation Of the Admin
istration. This is true Copperheadism-it
| prefers the success Of treason to the restors+
tion Of the Union, upon the plan adopted BY
the Government.

Election, Monday, March 23, 1868.
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1863-08-01
The Ferriss Gun at West Point.

A trial of the "Ferriss Cum" to test the in
itial velocity of its shot, took place at West
Point on the 18th and 18th of July, in pres
ence OF Captain S. V. Benet of the United
States Army, and one Of the best ordnance Of
ficers in America.
On the first shot this instrument (the cleo
trob-bestic penduluml. being in perfect order,
gave velocity of twenty-five feet per second,
the highest velocity ever attained by any
cannon in the world.
The highest velocity ever obtained in this
country before was by Captain Benet at West
Point, using a spherical shot in rihed Par
rott gun, and this was one thousand eight hum
dred feet per second. The ordinary velocity
OF the best cannon in this country, or in Eng
land, is from one thousand to one thousand
three hundred feet per second.
On the 18th the firing was renewed and diff
ferent velocities obtained,to one thousand sew
en- hundred and upwards. The shot used
were conical, and weighed, one of the sizes 40
ounces, and the other 4S ounces. Tie
weight of the powder used was in all cases "a
ounces. The chamber of the gun viii hold 27
ounces. This side of the bore is "a inches.
The penetration oil this gun, according 10
the diameter of the BORE is greater than any
other cannon ever built = penetrating three
inches of solid iron plates at iifty yards.
