Anew Gun.

The New York Evening Post says that
application has been made to the Commits
sioners of the Harbor Defense for an op-
portunity TO make trial Of the Ferris gun,
preliminary to taking it to WASHINGTON to
be tested BY the Government authorities.
It will be introduced into the service at
once, If its claims are established By trial.
The ball used in the gun now in the city
is about two inches in diameter. Two
shots were fred al bulls eye at 4 recent
experiment. and at one hundred yards
distance missed the center by about four
inches. Twelve quarter-inch wrought
iron plates having been placed against the
end of log, steel bolt, weighing three
and one-half pounds, was fred at fifty
yards distance, twenty-six ounces Of pow
der having been used, and the bolt broke
through them ali. At this rate the hun
dred-pounder which Mr.. Ferris is now
constructing would be likely to pierce any
armor that has yet been invented.

GreeIey's Experience in "Persuadiug.''
The Boston Courier, referring to the
New York Tribune's hope Of "persuading"
the Southern States to abolish Slavery, says
that it would have been we'll if the Abol-
itiOnists had confined themselves to "per-
suading." To which Horace Greeley re-
spends rather tartly:
q tried, more than twenty-five years
ago, to persuade two Shareholders that
their system was unjust and pernicious,
and their reply was an attempt to per-
suade me off a dock into thirty feet water,
which l was barely able with help 10 pre-
vent Long after that tried to persuade
another STAKEHOLDER (son Of lifelong ne
gro-tradeT, and now himself Rebel Gen
eral) that he had made an unfair PROPOSE
tiOn in Congress, and he replied by at
tempting to persuade 3 hole into the top Of
my skull, and my brains out through that
hole. That is all my personal experience
on the subject butt have very often been
assured (no doubt truly that if should
ever 60 South and attempt there TO per
suade people that Slavery was wrong, I
should very soon have the breath of life
persuaded out of my body. When a few
nObodies first began to persuade people
hereabOut that Slavery was wrong, a Dem
Ocratic Governor (Marcy) called for laws
to suppress aud punish such efforts, and
Democrats all over the Free States resorted
to a liberal use of asafetida, cayenne pep
per, cOwbells, bad eggs, bludgeons, knock
downs, arson, &c, &C., to squelch such per
suasi0n."

The Nashville Union has pertinent ar
tiele upon the frequent use of the term
negrO-woTshipers and puts its true ap-
plication upon the slave holders Of the
South, and their pro slavery sympathisers
Of the North. One of the high priests Of
negro worship is Alexander b. Stevens
Vice President of the Confederacy, vino
said that slavery was "the cornerstone Of
the COnfederaey." He worshipped the ne
gro more than he did the Government Of
his fathers, and proposed to break up the
latter that he might extend the dominion
Of negro slavery. Al the rebel leaders
are also negro wOrshipers, desiring to have
q Government where cotton shall be king
aud negrO-slavery the Holy of Holies.-
The Union says:
"Negro-worship differs from all others
in one striking peculiarly; It's dalHdea
VoiGTies imagine that all ,0ho do not belong to
their ekHTeh are negro l0orShipeTs, and that
they Themselves are vhoLly exempt from the
sable haIucilation. They fancy that the
rest Of mankind are infatuated with
passion for the negro. The South Carolina
fre-eaters and Kentucky copperheads, who
are two minor seots or fraternities in the
great Negro worshipping Church, accuse
all the enemies of African slsve labor Of
being NegrO-worshippers and the Rhetts
and Wiekliffes say that Seward and Lin
coin are afflicted with NEGRO on the
brain.

follows;

ton Of the Minnesota river, on the 25th

CLEVELAND, May C, 1868.
EDS. LEADER Observing a few days
since in your Journal communication in
reference to the candidacy for the next
Governor in our State, suggesting the
name of Hon. Carey A. Trimble, Lbeg to
be allowed the privilege of adding my tes-
timOny, from personal acquaintance with
the honorable gentleman, fully endorsing
his fitness for the position indicated, as one
who, if selected to be the standard bearer
Of the Union party in Ohio, will fill the
GubernatOrial Chair with credit to himself
and honor to the State. Bringing with
him an unblemished political record from
long Congressional career just closed
it is no idle compliment to his ability, to
which his colleagues from the State at
large associated with him, bear general
testimony. The son of an honored sire
(ex-Governor Trimble, well known through
out the State he adds talents of no COM
mon order, and q reputation socially and
politically pure and unsuliied. He has
been, from the first, steady, ardent and
unwavering Republican, always support
ing the principles and policy of the party.
A good speaker and excellent writer, he
unites with accuracy of judgment, emil
nent financial abilities-and among his
constituents and acquaintanees where best
known, is very popular. The agricultural
interests Of the State would be greatly
benefited by his experience, he having
paid a great deal Of attention and devoted
much time while in Congress to the gem
eral improvement Of agricultural inter
ests and its national advaucement.-
Should he he brought forward by his
friends, 1 desire to say that the State would
be ably represented, and its interests ad-
Yauced-should he be selected as the choice
Of the people. CITIZEN.

Grierson's Raid.

The Mobile Register says Of Grierson's
raid into the heart of Mississippi;
"The manner in which this raid has
been conducted proves that the Yanks are
greatly improving in the art of raiding,
for they would send out small parties with
big stories and threaten points on the Mo
bile and Ohio Railroad, while their main
body was striking bee line for the South

A correspondent Of the New York Her

exhibit Of the extent Of the rebel trade
carried on with that port. The harbor was
full Of vessels about to leave for blOckaded
ports, or lately from them, and the docks
were full Of cotton in baasifu. One firm
owned a vessel which ran the blockade
thirty-six times before she was captured.
No wonder there is money in the trade.

ACADEMY OF MUsIo.-The fairy specta-

we question whether in the history Of the

all the attraction awarded to it by the eastern

belliOus daughters, who leave their abode in

U Mon Township.

Union Township.
The Courier denies thas the Val
landighammers of Union township
harborcd Mcdowell, or resisted his
arrest. Every citizen of Union town
ship knows this to be lie. and the
editor knew it to be one when he pen
ned it. Letters from Mcdowell to
soldiers are in the hands of the au-
thorities, in which they are advised
to desert as "the Democracy will not
let deserter be taken ont of Union
township" The night Mcdowell
was arrested, an alarm was given, and
the officers were followed by miles
by armed men, and nothing but the
determination of the officers prevent
ed u rescue. At Bluflton a rescue
was threatened.
While we are this subject, we call
the attention of the Courier to the
attempts made by Marshal Carr to
arrest deserters in Amanda. Did
not the Democracy of that township
resist? and do they not boast of it to
this day?
The army has been deluged with
letters from Hancock Democrats
calculated to spread disadection, and
in many instances advising desertion
Denial is useless for hundreds OF
these letters are in the hands of the
authorities. There is in the county
an organization for the purpose Of
harboring and protecting deserters
and that it is not more effective is
because the leaders are too cowardly

Sermon.
PETROLEUM V. Nasty.

Sermon.
Rev. Mr.. Meeks, preached, last
Sabbath, at the Presbyterian Church,
on Religion and Civil Government"
Mr.. NJ. held that Governments were
instituted by God, rs necessary
means of establishing his Kingdom;
that SO long as they accorded with
Right they were prospered, but SO
soon as they deviated from this prin-
ciple they met destruction. Our gov
ernment had sinned in fostering the
curse of Slavery, and the terrible war
now desolating the land is the pun
ishment. lie branded Slavery as an
ti-christian and unholy, showed that it
was the cause of the war, and that it
ought to be destroyed. He quoted
the action of the Church on the sub
lject, to show that no Presbyterian
could consistently be anything but an
opponent OF the great National sin.
The sermon was listened to by a
very large audience. 1t was mas
terly effort, one that carried convic-
ton with it. Not one Of his posi-
tions. can be controverted-non OF
his arguments refuted. We wish ev-
cry professor of Religion in the coun-
ty could have heard it.
