tomac and say, "Blessed be you, brethren of
the North! We were sick and wretched and you

we were also in bondage, and you have broken

This will be peace and reconciliation indeed; a
reconciliation in obedience to the great moral
laws of the universe and to the progressive spirit
of our age; peace founded upon harmonious
cooperation mutual benefit, and good will to
all men. Such must be, and such only can be,
the internal peace of the Union.

Leathern Artillery.

Leathern Artillery.
The field pieces of former age were machines
of iron or brass, immensely cumbrous, and al
most unmanageable. The problem to be solved,
was, how to render gun more portable without
lessening it's proectile force. After full consid-
Grafton of the matter, Robert Scott came to the
conclusion that there was "nothing like leather"
Of hardened leather, therefore, he constructed
guns The correctness of his idea was tested by
experiment, and the result was considered to
show the Unreasonable superiority of leather
over iron or brass. Why did he not lay the in
vention at the feet of his own liege sovereign, it
is needless to inquire. Perhaps he did and
was snubbed for his pains, as other inventors
have been since his time. AT all events, he
raised company of 200 men and went over'to
Sweden, where he was welcomed by Gustavus
Adolphus, who, seeing his ability, and the value
of his discovery forthwith took him into his
service, and, at the end of two years rewarded
him with an office of Quartermaster General of
the army. After five years. service under Gus
tavus, he repaired to Denmark, where he was
appointed General of the Kings Artillery but
soon afterwards yielding to the advice of friends,
he returned to England, and rendered his SER
vices to his own sovereign, King Charles L.
This step, which was taken in 1929, turned out a
very profita BILE one for the Colonel. He was re-
celVed with open arms by Charles, who appoint
ed him one of the gentlemen of his privy
chamber, granted him annual pension of
1900 out of the Court of Wards, and purchased
for him house in Lambeth at cost of 81, OOO.--
Col. Scott, however, did not live long to enjoy
these tokens of royal favor; for, dying in 1871.
he was buried in Lambeth church, where a
sumptuous monument, still to be seen, was
erected to his memory by his loving Anne, whom
he married in France. The sculptor has repre-
scented the Colonel armor-clad, fierce look
ing man, wearing heavy mustache and point
ed beard.
In the very year of the ColoneFs death, Gusta-
vlls Adolphus had an ample proof of the effect |
iveness and utility of the leathern artillery at
the memorable battle of Leipsic The guns were |
found to beso portable that small battery could
easily be removed from part of the field to
another, or a battery was made in the space
of ten minutes; and when fresh attack was
about to be made on the part of the enemy, bat
terry was Immediately on hand to repel it. In |
fact, it was in great measure owing to the in
ventiOn of Colonel Scott, that the Swedish king
obtained so glorious victory and the imperial
General lilly himself was constrained to admit
that the portable cannon performed WOnderS.-
How it came about that the leather ordnance |
was shortly afterward laid aside worthless, is
difficult to explain, or even to conjecture; butt
is not recorded to have made any subsequent APP |
pearance the battlefield, though leather
cannon was fired in Edinburgh late the /
year 1788-probably out of curiosity.-AU the
