Great Guns in the Navy.

The Report ofthe Ordnance Bureau gives
an interesting view of tho enforced progress
of work in that important branch of service,
The naval ordnance at the beginning OF
1861 consisted of 1872, thirty-two, $40

zers. We have now 1909 howtzers of all
kinds, 1872 thirtv-twos, 575 eightinch, sos
nine.nch Dahlgreu, SO ten-iuch, old and
new, 323 eleven-nch Dablgren, 200 thir-
teen-inch mortars, 2l4 twenty-pouud Par

riiled Parrots, aud Sc fiteen.inch smooth
5ores in all, 5,777 pieces, against 2,066
in 1861, Over 700 more guns of the new
sort will be done before tho year Closes
Several new foundries have been started,
mand. The enormous amount of project
lies used may be seen inithe following fig
ures !: Shells, made aud bought, 67s, OH F;
shot, so,s92; shrapnell, grape and canister,
o,443,94s pounds. OF gunpowdcr 1850
tons have been ordered since March l, 1861
of which 2,676 tons were from foreign
nitre. The report details operations in
small-arms, gun carriages fuses, &c. All
this appertains to the Navy alone. The re.
port says: "rhe general efficiency of the
ordnance of our Navy far excels that of any
other. its superiority being due. mainly, OF
wholly to the improvements OF the last two
yesrs. Further extensive improvements
are in contemplation. aud estimates are pre-
sented to Congress.

Postal Matters,

The annual report of Postmaster-G Gencr-
al Blair gives cheering promise that tho
Department will soon become what it should
Notwithstanding The revenue for tho
past year was $l1 IG3,7 7S9 SO, while the ex.
pendit uros exceeded that amount by the
sum of $3.50, All 25 only. In former years
tho def cheney has been counted By millions.
In 1860, tho year Immediately preceding
tho rebellion, tho excess of expenditures
over revenue was rs ,7O5 10. Mail
routes have been extended during tho year
8, 565 miles, while tho annual cost of trans
portation has been reduced Rlli, 25S. The
present number of post Offices is 20 OH, an
increase of i72. Stamps to tho value OF
80 ga 523 G2 were sold during tho year, an
increase Of - TIA ,397 73. The Postmaster
General has been unable to negotiate a
new and satisfactory postal convention with
Prussia. He renews bis recommendation
that private ships departing for foreign
ports be required to convey mails on such
terms as may be allowed by Congress as q
condition of obtaining clearance. and again
recommends postal money system.
This proposition has been repeatedly urged
in annual reports, and it seems strange to
those who arc not Members OF Congress
that an act SO palpab!y needed for tho con-
venience and safety of that large class, who
arc compelled to remit small sums through
tho Post Office, has not long since been
passed. The report contains many curious
and interesting facts in relation to the "dead
lettor Office" among which is a statement
that about 10, 900 letters containing photo,
graphs or daguereotypes had been received
at that office, of which 1878 had been re
| stored To the Writors or owners.

King Cotton Dethroned.

"King Cotton" no longer rules the
world. The Southern rebels believed
they could conquer through the power oI
cotton. They have been mistaken. The
cotton scepter is broken. The London
"Money Market Review" says: "Aiter
distress, only equaled by the fortilude
with which it was borne, England is
I'graduatly emancipating herself from the
thraldom in which she was held by her
almost exclusive dependence upon Amer
lea for the supply OF cotton. India is day
by day taking the place of America
That she can grow cotton to any extent,
and that the quality of that cottou is ca
psble Of vast improvement, is beyond all
doubt. The only inducemen. which she
requires is the assurance OF a permanent
morkei; in word, that our demand on
her is not to be merely temporary one,
measured only By the American war.
Indications are not wanting that India
will soon make England independent oI
China. She has freed Englaud OF her de-
pendence on America for cotton, and
promises freedom TO like extent from de-
pendence on China for tea."
Never were miserable rascals more dis
appointed in their calculations, than have
been the Infamous insurgents OF the Sonth

American Growth.

a glance at a lew facts and figures will
help to convince us that we are a great
and growing nation, and that, If we can
control the centrifugal force which in our
rapid revolutions has broken up the integ-
rty OF onr country, there will really be
no limit to the growth we may hope for.
In 1900, with a population OF 4,00O, 600,
our manufactures were valued at SO and
exports at ~ per head. In 1860, with
population of 2l000,000, our manu-
features were valued at S64 and our ex.
ports at SO per head. In 1900, the value
of lands and houses was estimated at 1856
| per head, and in 1860 at $500. In 1SOO
/ the entire wealth of the country was less
than 81 900. 600; in 1860 the valua-
ton WAS SIG, ,5S8, ,353, ,438. This rapid
growth has been the legitimate result ol
well known causes, and may be readily
traced to the CO operation OF individuals
and The aggregation of capital, 10 the sp.
lication OF steam TO transportation and
mechanical uses, 10 the use OF machinery
in IFS countless applications, and to the
large quantities OF cheap and fertile lands
which have been placed within the reach
of all. The days labor of all industrious
man, which in 1900 could remove only
one pound OF cotton from the seed, could,
in 1850, with the help of the cotton.gn.
remove four hundred pounds. In 1912
it took six weeks OF time and 1000 dol
| lars in money 10 convey single cannon
/ from New York 20 Buffalo, and now, il
circumstances require, lwentv-foui hours
and len dollar bill will suffice to carry
a heavy gun from the streets of New
York, and point it toward the CANADIAN
shore OF Lake Erie. Great are the re.
sources of our country, but, great as they
have been, we are yet only in the opening
scenes OF The grand drama OF American
Development = Scientific american.

Why did England Stop the Rebel RamsI

A correspondent Of the New York 7ri5-
une answers this question in a curiousiy
interesting way. and We aro di"poeea to
MlnR there is something in il, because
the Tribune gives it prominence by lead
ing it. The correspondent says that his
authority for the statement "may be i'm .
plicitly relied on" 1t is as follows:
While Mr.. Seward was absent on an
excursion, in which he was accompanied
by certain of the diplomatic corps, Presi,
dent Lincoln wrote the following (unof-
ficial) letter to Mr.. Adams, our Minister
to England. Like most of the Presidents S
pithy letters, it was very brief, and ran as
follows:
"Wbat do the British Government
mean? What do they want? Do they
really rant war? 1t may be the most dis.
astrous thing in the world for US, and it is
certainly what we most earnestly desire
10 avoid. bu', if those rams are permitted
to laave Eng gland, the people will force us
into war, whether we wish it or not. We
shall not be able to control their exaSper.
alton, and the British Government ought
10 understand this"
Minister Adams, upon receiving this
letter called upon Earl Russell, and said
to him in substance:
do no! call upon your lordship in my
official capacity. But have received q
plain, .outspoker, sincere letter from Pres.
ident Lincoln. which, though addressed
to me as private and not as an ot1icia
document, | am sure was not designed tc
be withheld from your knowledge.
He accordingly read the note 10 the
English Minister Of Foreign Affairs. and
closed by saying:
This is not diplomacy. your lordship,
but the honest, straightforward dealing
Of plain, blunt man.
A few days aiterward the order for the
detention of the rebel rams was promul.
gated.
II Mr.. Stewards absence produces sucl
effects, it would be well for him to be alb
senl often.--Doyton Journal.

Jenny Wade, the Heroine Of Gettysburg.

The country has already heard of John

from his trusty rifles into The faces and

The robels at once proceeded to prepare q

or how long thoy dwot here We cannot say ;
but thero was a sou named James, of whom
our recollection is that he associated with
other youths o! corresponding ago in that
part Of tho town, and was as decent in do.
pertinent as thoy. How decent that was is
not for us TO declare.
Tho family moved hence TO Boston about
forty.seven years ago, and doubtless passed
out Of tho minds of those who know them
here. But We have at distant intervals
heard of the son, and no was making head
in the world. Among his early labors at
Boston was blowing the organ of the then

establishment. During tho timo that Bun.
kor Hill Monument was going up he gave

letter to those having charge of it, stated
that he was native of Charleston. From
Boston his adventurous spirit LED him tt

In due time he engaged in the business
of n wholesale hardware merchant, and, q
in preceding undertakings. the work of hi
