A GOVERNMENT SCATTERED TO THE
FOUR WlNDs.-The Richmond Wing Of
April 9th, says:
"Were the Confederate Government rec
ognized Tomorrow, and were 1t possible for
that Government TO resume its functions
i'll every department, 1t would be Gov.
eminent without a record, and would soon
arrive at chaos. Documents before deemed
OF the highest Importance are whirled
about the streets with every gust of wind !;
like leaves of autumn they choke the gut
the streets, and sold in the suffers stores
for wrapping paper; old ledgers and day
books from the Treasury and Auditors Of
fees, half-tiiled, are made to perform an
other service in commercial way, in the
shop and counting room. Pay-rolls of the
Confederate army. paid and unpaid, half
burned, are bundled off to the paper-mili
to be converted into virgin paper again.
The flooding of the world in the days of
Noah did not more effectually drown out
and wash away the record of the people
living then, than did the evacuation and
burning of Richmond destroy the Conted-
crate claim to Government. The evacu-
alton must have come upon the Confeder-
ate rulers as suddenly as did the food else
more would have been saved and less put
out Of existence. As it is, the great prob-
lem of Il separate Southern Contederacy,
which JEFF. Davis and his clerks were
working out over innumerable reams of
foolscap, has come to naught, been dashed
by the sponge of fate, and nothing remains,
II the problem is to be persisted in, but to
wipe out the slate and commence anew,
dating the Southern Confederacy and its
records from new era and a new BIRTH
1t is an old household maxim that s'three
moves are as bad as fire." but with the
Confederate Government one move and a
fire did the business"
TESTING A TWENTY INCH GUN.-A new
twenty inch gun named ''Beelzebub," cast
at the Fort Pitt Works of Mr.. C. Knapp,
was tested recently at the proving ground
of the works. The gun is nearly four feet
shorter than the great twenty inch tried at
Fort Hamilton, New York harbor, last
summer, but is ofequal bore and capacity.
1t is eighteen feet long, twenty.inch bore,
weighs over forty nine tons, and carries a
thousand pound ball with charge Of one
hundred and twenty-five pounds of pow.
der. It was cast May 5th, 1864, and has
been nearly ten months finishing. On the
trial several charges of sixty and eighty
pounds were fred with great success. The
Pittsburg Commercial says:
A charge Of one hundred pounds was now
introduced, the solid shot sent home, the
percussion arranged, when Mr.. Jas. Knapp
pulled the lanyard. The ball struck the
stony bank, and tons of rock fell into the
cavern already existing from similar pom
derous blows. This time the gun recoiled
about two.thirde of its length in the sling,
and the conclusion scarcely differed from
that experienced with the eighty pound
charges. A second charge of one hundred
pounds was fired, and Immediately after
the recoil wrought iron bolt, three inches
in thickness, suddenly snapped, and the
breech. band. by which the gun was held in
the slinxs, broke, letting the enormous
mass to the ground, crushing, a. If they
were made Of finder, the T rail beneath.
This sudden accident brought the test to
. conclusion. Captain Yard, o. g. n, who
superintendent the test, expressed himself
highly Rrati6ed with 1t. The gun had done
ite duty. ~ far - tho preliminary o1ami.
