The English going ahead of Us in Arms.


1t is stated IN some of the papers that or
ders have been issued for armiug the whole
Of the British infantry with brsech loading
rifles. Experience in our WAT has shown
that this would be equivalent to increasing
their numbers at least five fold. We have
been accustomed to consider the English
Government rs very conservative Of old
methods, and slow in adopting improve.
ments, but il the above statement 10 correct,
it would seem that they are more prompt 10
profit by our experience than we are our.
selves.
In heavy ordnance too, the British Gov
eminent is making gigantic strides. The
strange favoIitism shown to the absurd
breech'loadiny system Of Sir William Arm.
strong, 80 tondly supported by the leading
daily press, has been shaken by the n,elli.
gent criticisms Of the Mechanics Magazine,
and Engineer, and is now being over,hrown
by the results of extensive trials. The Eng
lish are not following our practice at all in
heavy cast.iron ordnance, their heaviest guns
OF this material being Of inch csIiber,
while we have them in use of 3, 10, II, Is
IS aud 20'inch caliber. In England the ut.
tention of the Government and manufactu.
rers seems to be directed wholly TO the use
OF wrought iron or steel, or TO combinations
OF These two materials FIR the construction
OF heavy ordnance The largest gun yet
made of wrought iron is IS | 2 inches cali
Der, and weighs22 tons. This is the gun ,ha.
Sir William Armstrong chooses TO call the
ooo-pounder, we suppose on the ground that
bolt might be put into it Of sufficient
!epu tn jnh II ia k,,r
with a turn Of only in So, and it is found
that this is not sufficient to prevent an slon.
gated bolt from tuDbng over. Its mos,
destructive effects have been produced by
shell nearly spherical, weighing sos pounds.
and discharged by 40 pounds Of powder.
But the deusons in regard to Sir Williams
hunbugs, though supported by the most
powerful Of the daily press, are being rapidly
brushed away by the costly lessons OF exper-
lence, and the enlightened discussions Of the
mechanical journals. Tho best form and
material for heavy ordnance will doubtless
be arrived at, and then the enormous appli-
ances OF the English workshops will enable
them to turn ou; cannon equal in quality to
any that can be made in the word.
The strange supremacy which this country
has so long enjoyed in ordnance, WAS doubt.
less owing to the contempt in which our
naval and military establishments were held
10y the lighting monarchles Of Europe. 1his
contempt Is now in a measure removed, and
our advance will be watched with jealousy
toy all military powers. England, France.
Prussia, and other nations arc constructing
heavy ordnance of wrought iron and steel,
aud we shall need all OF our skill and energy
to keep pace with them. England is even
taklng stride far in advance IF us in infan.
try arms, AL advance that will render 60 900
of her troops equal to 200, 600 Of ours in any
engagement We trust that our Govern.
ment Will allow no other nation to get the
advantage Of US in the all important matter
OF arms. Scientific american.

An Incident in the Missouri Rebel Raid,

During the Recent advance of the Rebels
towards Jefferson City, young man having
charge of a store near B9uf Greek Blidye,
WAS subjected to n novel mods Of treatment
by the invaders, and one not altogether
agreeable to person of strong tsnperancs
proclivilies. Two Rebel horstme first dash.
ed into the town and called ut the house Of
Colonel Reese. Their summons was answer.
ed bya young lady; and TO their inquiry As
to the ColoneFs Whereabouts, she replied that
he had left for Washington two days previ-
Gus They minated that they had import.
ant business with him, and after stating who
and what they were, bowed gracefully TO the
young lady and dashed away. They then
proceeded to the store of which the Young
man alluded to had charge. After few
words of conversation, they asked him who
he interded to vote for, and he replied he
thought favorabIy Of Mcclellan. They re.
sponded to the effect that they hoped he
wouldn't do any such thing; that they prei
terred to have Lincoln elected; that they
"knsw Lincoln was d--d fool, but didn'.
know so well about Mcclellan" that be
might be smart man, and that the South
might not be so sure of success under him
rs under Lincoln. Having expressed them
selves in substance as above, they called for
whiskey, and a liberal supply of the article
was brought forward, of which they partook
freely. Every time they drank. however,
they insisted upon the young mans joining
them and drinking an equal quantity with
them. Not being accustomed to such strong
potatons, the young man soon fell into
state of unconsriousness, and while in that
condition the Rebel visitors took their dc.
parture. AS soon as they were out Of sight,
few Of the lady friends of the young man
came to his rescue, and finally succeeded 10
restoring him TO consciousness. He had
barely become sober, however, before another
party of Rebels dashed into town, and sub.
j-cted him to a like mode Of treatment; and
after them another party. SO that for
period of four days he was kept dead drunk

The Virginia City Enterprise, INDUCES in
tie following gloritira,ion
Our mining prospects were never brighter
than at present. The dark cloud OF itiga-
tion which long lowered upon our mines now
begins to rise. In spite of the curses that
have been heaped upon Washoe 10y the inju
dicions aud unfortunate, our mines will soon
stand iairer than ever before in the eyes of
the world. Late developments prove that
immense deposits Of the riches, kind of ore
exist through the whole course Of the Com
stock vein between this city and Gold Hill,
and companies thar have labored for years
and spent vast sums Of money are now reap
ing the rewald of all their labors and expen
dilures. New mills are everywhere going
into operalon and every day our bullion
shipments increase Nearly every mine in
Gold Hill is in tlourishlug condition, AS are
all the leading claims below that town. The
Cholar has never looked more promising
than at present, nor the Savage, nor the 20
tosi; and good ore is again being found in
the lower level of the Gould and Curry. At
no time have We ever shipped more bullion
than at present. Although we still hear III
occasional grow about dull times, we find
few who have not "roin" in their pockets -
at least enough to keep the devil out" We
world; it only needs development--w
Now that our election is over, lot our people
give their attention to our mines.
