A HrsroRICAL GUN.-We gave a few day

HISTORICAL GUN..We gave few day
ago some account of brass piece, which
we saw on the steamer Chancellor, from
VIcksburg, on its wav up the river The
piece is y handsome brass 36 pounder, and
has the French Bourbon crown and ciphels
handsomely engraved upon it, The only
peculiarly in its appearance is the existence
of two handles at its centre of gravity, in
tended, we suppose, to facilitate moving or
transport. This piece was east in France
in 1869. 1t was brought to this country to
assstin the Revolutionary War by Lafay
ette, and landed in Charleston on the 25lh,
battles Of the Revolution, and went next to
New Orleans, and was in service in the war
of 1912, when Jackson defended that city
When the Texas revolution occurred, com
pany of Americans who went from New
Orleans in the spring of 1886 to assist in
the struggle took it with them, and there it
was mounted on the walls of the Alamo, a
place made memorable by the ce ebraled
massacre, on which occasion this gun fell
into the hands Of he Mpxicans, ho used it
it in their numb brawIs and revolutions
In their HANDS it travelled to the CITY of
Mexico. where it again fell into American
hands, being captured hy Gen. Scott when
he took that city. When the rebellion oc.
Cured New Orleans artillery company
brought the gun to Vick>burg, and it was
used in the siege there. At the fall of that
place it fell of course into the hands Of
Gen. Grant, and it now goes North as a
trophy. Memphis Journal

A PREDICTION FULFILLED.-Henry Lau-
rens was President of the Continental Con
gress. In 1910 he was sent as Minister to
Holland On his way he was captured and
imprisoned il the Tower of London for four
teen months. When Lord Shelburne became
Premier, Laurens was brought up, on habeas
corpus, and released. After his release he
was treated with great kindness and respect
by the British authorities. He dned with
Lord Sheburne. After dinner the conversal
ton turned on the separation of the two
countries. Lord Shelburne remarked:
Il am sorry for your people" "Why so?"
asked Laurens. "1hey will lose the habeas
corpus" was the reply. "Lose the habeas
corpus." said Laurens. Yes said Lord
Shelburne. I'VE purchased it with centuries
of wrangling. many years of fighting. and
had it confined by at least fifty acts of Par
Lament. All this taught the nation its value.
and it is so engrrined into their creed, as
the very foun ialion of their liberty, that no
man or party will ever dare trample upon it.
People will pick it up and attempt to use it;

the day fixed hy law for the Judicial election.
Supreme. District and County Judges,
State Superintendent, of Public Schools, and
two Justices of the Peace for each Township

but like rgilly virtuous men. are permitting
the peeps to do as they please. This is
relief-an mprovement-but it makes dry
campaign, and will not bring out large
vote
In Placer county but little is said about the
election. For District Judge Of the counties
of Placer aud Nevada. there is but one
candidate Judge Mcfarland, of Nevada
For County Judge. II. Fellows, the present
incumbent, is the Administration candidate,
and Judge II. Fltz-immons, is an indepen-
dent Union candidate for the same office
There are a number of candidates for Justices
of the Peace-a majority of whom are in
dependent. In fact, the election in our
county partakes more of the character Of
free fight than any we have ever known.
