Cannon at Richmond.

Government is rapidly dismantling the fortif-
cations at Richmond and Petersburg, and ship
ping the cannon, etc, to the Washington and
other Northern Navy Yards and Arsenals The
number of cannon of all kinds, siege and field,
is much larger than was originally Supposed
At one time four or five acres at the landing
below Richmond were covered with cannon,
caissons, army wagons, etc. Five vessels We're
at City Point and Richmond last week loading
with them, including the beautiful Whitworth
battery of rifed cast-steel twelve Founders sur
rendered by General Lee at Burkesvie, Vir-
ginia, which was presented to the Rebels at the
beginning of the war, by sympathizing friends
in England.
ARTILLERY officers pronounce it one of the finest
batteries in the world. 1t will probably be sent
with other curious pieces to West Point, as tro-
phies AT Petersburg, just before its evacua-
ton, many cannon were buried, and head boards
put up at each end, to resemble soldiers graves
The negroes, always loyal to the Government,
Immediately revealed the trick, and upward OF
100 field pieces have already been exhunied.-
The amount of war material now accumulated
by government, both of its own manufacture
and captured from the Rebels, is almost incre.
dihle. Speaking of guns in wholesale way,
an artillery officer lately ntimated that the can
non, caissons, ambulances, army wagons, etc,
with their teams, would make a column reach
ing from New York to California.

Death of Rear dlniraI Dupont.

On Friday morning, the 23rd of June, Rear
| Admiral Samuel f. Dupont departed this life, at
the La Pierre House, Philadelphia. The Ad-
mirul arrived in that city on the previous Mon
day from Wilmington, Del. accompanied by
his family lie had been in delicate health
| for some time past caused by an affection of
the throat. but feeling better had resolved to go
to Philadelphia. Rear-Admiral Dupont was
born at Bengen Point n. j., on the 9th of
September, 1903 He removed to the State of
Delaware in curly life, and entered the navy in
| 1915.
| He was a grandson of Dupont de Nemours,
! the well known French statesman, who took
conspicuous part in Napoeon's time. The
powder works near Wilmington were founded
by Dupont de Nemours and his son, the father
Of the Admiral. The Admiral was commits
mssoned midshipman when twelve years old,
and made his fist cruise in the Franklin, under
Commodore Stewart, in 1917. In 1o43 he had
command of the frigate Congress, on the Cali
| tuInia coast.
In 1856, when in the rank Of captain he COM
manded the steam trigate Minnesota which con-
! ycved the United States Minister 10 China. He
was absent Two years In January, 1861, he
was appointed 10 the command Of the Philadel-
| pha Navy Yard.
| He was one Of the first nine rear-admirals on
the active list, appointed by the President. un-
der the act of 1861 Vice-Admiral Faragut and
| Rpar-A Adniral God3boroUgh are his seniors in
rank. lie has been most useful officer in times
of peacc as well as of war, serving on various
important boards, in the organization of the
naval school, and in other responsible duties.
| His bril- amt victory on the 7th Of November,
| 1861, v he,l he captured tie two strong forts on
Hilton Head and Bay Point, is we'll remember
cd. 1t was the first important naval success of
the war, and it sent q thrill of Joy through the
land. Other points on the coast were success
sively occupied by him. and more effective
blockade was established than had previously
existed. He commanded the naval forces cnl-
ploycd in various attempts upon the deeenses of
Charleston, in 1923 These were not success
! full. mainly because of the difficulty in handling
iron-clads in tie harbor. The operations of the
| South Atlantic squadron we're dire cted by Du-
pont up to July 4th, 1863 when he was relieved
by Admiral Dahgren. Since that time Admiral
Dupont has not been on any active duty.
Strongly prcjudiced against the employment
OF iron-cIad vessels of war, Dupont was recalled
from his command in order fairly to test the

| The cable has been made on an average at

and in some davs its outside covering of hemp
and iron has been overad at the rate of one
hundred and seventy-three miles Il day, though
! not fathom or foot has been manufactured
without every part being kept under constant
test for " conductlvity" and insulation, and to
this hour it is as regularly tested as it was Il
year ago when the first mile was twisted. 1t is

bic, not later than the 10th. With her will sail

to keep to if steerage way is wanted quickly,

to retain in q seaway. On this occasion, how
ever, the middle OF July is chosen as being

part of July, and his long experience in com.

connected with the ship, with the exception OF
the chief engineer, have been chosen from the

A Good story, if True.

The well known correspondent of the Bos.
ton Jonrnal, who writes under the signature
of 'Burleigh,' thus relates the story of
Grants re- enterance into the United States
army at the outbreak of the rebellion:
Four years this very month, Mrs. Grant
lived in her quiet home in Gaena. Her
husband was Mr.. Grant, the leather dealer,
plain, modest, reliable man, without much
apparent force, who attracted very little at.
tention anyway. The war had commenced
The flag had been shot away from Sumter,
and shot out of rebel cannon at Memphis.
One morning Mr.. Grant called on Senator
Washburne, who resides in Galena. He told
Mr.. w. that he did not feel right-that he
could not sleep at nights that he felt that
he was not doing his duty. Washburne asked
him what was the matter. Mr.. Grant re-
piled ~ am doing nothing for my country.
have been educated at the nations ex.
pense but here am at home doing moth
ing: ! don't know what to do. I am no
politician. I don't.seem to be wanted any
thing if could only find my place" Mr.
Washburne invited his neighbor to accom-
pany him to Springfield, where an important
consultation was to be held at the request of
Governor Yates. On the morning of the
fourth day Mr.. Grant called at Mr.. Wash
burne's room, and said to him: "Nobody
knows me here-there is nothing for me to
do am going home.h ''Hold on day
longer said Washburne. The next day an
important discussion was held in the council
chamber. At Mr.. Wushburne's request Mr..
Grant was called in. He held an Interview
with the State authorities for thirty minutes,
and then went out. AS the door closed,
Governor Yates cried out, "Good God |!
Washburne, who is this man? Ihave learned
more about troops in this thirty minutes than
| knew all my life. All l can do for hlm
now is to put him on my staff. You 60

supposed to he an aristocratic beverage. But
what is the enjoyment Of these pampered feeders
to that of the hungry carter who sits down by
the waysde to thumb hunch OF bread and
cheese, or cold meat? The active vigor of that
mans appetite is superior to all the sauces III
the world
People who envy the luxurious feasts of the
rich should know that the wise men who sit
down to them only make pretence of partaking
of the so-called good things that are placed
before them. have heard that the cabinet
ministers, before they go into the city to the
Lord Mayors banquet, dine quietly at home on
some simple and wholesome Wand, knowing
that there will be many dishes on the groaning
tables of Guldhal which they dare not touch.
The Queen spreads her table with all the most
elaborate productions of the culinary art; but
she herself makes her dinner off cut of simple
mutton Cook as you will, and lavish money
as YOU will there is no exceeding the enjoyment
of that carter sitting by the roadside thumbing
his bread and cheese All the Yeor Round.

RAJ The following complaining letters
lished by request of the writer-one of the
members of the battery, who seems very de-
sirous that it shall appear in print. The
members of that battery may as well dry up.
The people of the State care very little about
them. They did some good service in the
early stages of the war, but since then the
battery, through the disgraceful @rangling
among officers and men, has been anything
but an honor and advantage to the State or
the nation. The writer, we think. needn't t
apprehend being retained in the service if
merit is to be the standard of choice, for the
regular army. No man will be retained
without his consent. The people Of Cecil
are sick of grumbling of Shows Battery
They have no sympathy with either men or
officers, and don't want to hear any more
yrumbing for them. While the battery did
its duty nobly in the field the people Of Cecil
applauded it, but when it degeneratcd into
a party of wranglcrs, they regarded it with
silent disgust:

could do anything more for us than they

made by our officers to retain us in the SER
vice, while they are the men that might have
some influence with the L. S. authorities,
in our behalf, are silent in regard to our
welfare We cannot see any pleasure in
STAYING in service after the fighting is over.

simple reason that we are not pretty, or even
we'll behaved and for these reasons do
not think that we would be very nice band
