HE CONFEDERATES EXPECT A
PENINSULA CAMPAIGN
AGAINST RICH MOND.

In regard to operations in the East, the
confederate military leaders are convinced
that Gen Grant has no intention of max
ing campaign against Richmond over
land. and thu, he will not do SO in any
event. The more apparent preparations
that are made for an overland campaign
the more we fortify Culpepper and re-
pair the roads between that point and
Washington. the more satisfied will the
rebel leaders be that it is all done to blind
them to our real intentions. What they
expect and look for is the adoption OF
Gen. McCle.l ms plans, and pesinsula

THE 1,Aeonsr GUN I'm THE WORLD

THE LARGEST GUN IN THE WORLD
The grand test of the twenty inch Rod
man gun Mt Fort Hamilton, ON the goth,
proved an entire SUCCESS. AT IL o'clock, for
the first loading of the heaviest piece OF or
dance In the world, the parapets OF the tort
were thronged with distinguished officers
and ladies and gentlemen, anxious to witness
the trial of the great gun 1t was not until
haf.psst two o'clock the first discharge,
blank cartridge of one hundred pounds OF
powder was fired. The conclusion follow
ing the discharge was slight, and the recoil
of the gun much less than was anticipated.
The piece was next loaded vito charge OF
fifty pounds of powder and thousand
pound she'll The time taken in Loading
was about half an hour The second trial
was as successful as the first, the ball, in
consequence of considerable depression of
the gun. striking the water at n quarter OF
a mile distance, r;choting several times. The
gun, on examination, being found to have
received no strain, preparations were made
for final test.
At G o'clock the piece was again loaded
with change of one hundred pounds of
powder and ball weighing one thousand
and eighty pounds-one Of the largest pro-
jectiles ever cast. 1t was said to be any
thing but on easy task to adjust the ball.
However, at the hour mentioned, the piece
was loaded, and everybody stood clear for
the last grand trial. The gun was raised to
an elevation of twenty five degrees, and the
discharge was deafening, The ball was
"a seconds in the air, and fell at the distance
of about three miles and half. Considcra
bic applause followed the final shot, and al
concerned in the management of the piece
were warmly congratulated. The following

From SIiernan's Army.
DEFEAT OF HOOD.

NASHVILLE, Nov. 5.--On the Sd inst, the
rebel army, under Hood, attempted to cross
the Tenuesse river at the mouth of the Blue
water, and were repulsed by the Union army
under General Sherman, with considerable
loss.
Three regiments of cavalry are reported
between Decatur and Courtlaud. Forrest,
with cavalry force, is reported near John
sonviile, which is amply garrisoned to repeal
any attack.
General Shermsn's headquarters to-day
are at Gaylesyille, North Alabama, a little
burg of a dozen houses, situated on the
Chattanooga river, six miles from its juno
tion with the Coosa The town is twenty
five miles from Rome, Ca, in a southwester.
ly direction. The valley in which Gayles-
vile lies is productive one, and one week
ago was tolerably we'll filed with supplies.
This fact no doubt influenced General Sher-
man i'll selecting this as a place of rest when
pursuit OF Hood was abandoned. The army
has been here five days, and the country for
twenty-five miles around has been pretty
well cleared of sweet potatoes, corn, hogs,
milch cows and fruit. Our men have sub
sisted oil the country" and grown fat by the
change from Government rations. Piles OF
cracker boxes and barrels of salt meat are
stored at the commissary depots of the army
and original packages OF bacon remain un.
touched. The army is, indeed, "Detter of
than it would be in camp"
lhe enemy is entrenched in the Blue
Mountains, beyond the Cooss, fifteen miles

which aided the army in its operatians
against Yorktown, Va, in May, 1852, this
being her first service. On .he 10th OF May,
1862, she was present and participated in
the attack upon the battery at Drury's Bluf
known as Fort Darling In 1868 she was

in the West Indies, and on the 25th OF
March, of that year, she captured the Dol
phn, blockade runner; she also captured
the blockade runner Virginia, both vessels
netting over 100000. During the present
year she has been employed on special duty
of the coast of Brazil. Her capture of the

the page of our cvcntful history.
THE FLORIDA.

Prince Alfred. She ran into Mobile on the
Sth of september, 1862, and was struck by
shot several times from the guns OF the Nero

We publish in another column a
communication in favor of increasing the
salary of the County superintendent of the
Common Schools. The writer certainly gives
some sound reasons in favor Of his PROPOSE
ton. If it lie true that certain sum is ap-
propriated for salaries, ard that which is
taken off from the salary of our own Super
intendent only serves to increase the salary
of others, then there should be no objection
TO an increase of our own. There is evident
ly something lame in the law which brings
about such results. We, perhaps, differ with
our correspondent ir regard to the efficacy
or Importance of the Office of Superintend-
mt, but if the Office is to be continued, then
we can have no objection out as favorable as
any other.

s-s~Tue PRESIDENTIAL ELPorroN.-Th

T5y"TuE PREsIpETriAL ELECTION. The
indications arr, that Lincoln has carri ed
every State IN the Union except Kentucky,
New Jersey and Delaware. This unhnimity
of sentiment is not only desirable, but we
think highly important in fts bearing on the
question of peace. Even some Of the friends
of Mcclellan are free TO ADMIT that il is let
ter that the msjority should be Argc and
decisive. The rebels will govern themselves
accordingly. They will now see the utter
hopelessness of compromising on the basis
of their independence, and those who de-
sire peace, (and we have no doubt, majori-
ty of them favor peace on any terms) will
accept the terms offered as the best they
can do. ThIs one by one we hope to bring
back every State. This, 1t is true, may re
quirc some time, but in the end will be ac-
complished.
