NV YORK, Feb. 2,-The Army and Ma
W Journal contains a report of the Naval
Committee on rifled cannon. They fud
that of 7o3 Parrot guns, of all calibres, FL
have burst or been otherwise Injured by
explosion. They ascribe the accidents to
various causes, such as the use of COM
pressed power or unsuitable projectiles,
negtecting TO Intricate the proiectiIes as
required by the ordnance instructions, and
keeping the guns too long loaded. The
premature explosion of shells is, however,
the main cause. They recommend expe.
riments TO place the matter beyond dis.
pute, and decide the question of retaining
the Parrot gun in USE
The steamer Rebecca Clyde, from Sa.
Vannah, has arrived, with full cargo of
cotton, consigned to Collector Draper. She
brings no news.

10 accordance with Gov. Hahn's procla-
nation. January Gath was observed
throughout the State as a day of festivity
In honor of the emancipation acts of Mis-.
souri, snd Tennessee. Some 10000 per.
sons, outside of the city, celebrated the
day. The news of the capture of Fort
Fisher was received ct New Orleans the
evening previous, and gave increased spir-
It TO the enjoyment Of the occasion. The
courts adjourned, and the streets were
thronged with black aud white people
Public and private buildings and the
shlPplng were decorated with national
flags. The military, the schools, and nu.
merous societies of colored people we're in

GOV. Hahn and others. A salute of one
hundred guns were fred, and the city was
brilliantly illuminated atnight.
a Natche7 letter of the AID ult., saws
Gen. Davidson, since assuming command
of that district, has extended the lines on
the roads leading out of that city, SO as to
protect several plantations, and all the
troops are now encamped outside of the
city. The office of mayor has been abol.
lshed, and the provost marshal exercises
the functions OF that Office. All the con-
trabands of Natchez and Vidalia are order
ed 10 work on the farms back of the latter
place, aud furnished with rations. They
are under the supervision of Col. Mitchell,
Superintendent of Freedmen. Col. Farrar
commands the post of Natchez.
Two wagon loads of supplies, driven be-
yond the lines from Vidalia under proper
passport, were captured by guerrillas. The
owners lost everything, but were paroled
not to do anything to prejudice the inter-
ests of JEFF. Davis.

D@ABoUT TIE GROUND HoG.-Yester.
day in the House of Delegates, while the
members we're awaiting for the report of
the Committee appointed to count the joint
vote of the two houses on the election OF
State Superintendent of Public Schools,
Mr.. Downey remarked thatas there appear
ed to be nothing before the House he
would move the appointment of Conn.,
mittee of three to ascertain and report to
the house whether the ground hog saw
his shadow to-day. Mr.. Holman said the
ground hog was not before the house, and
the Speaker said the gentlemen were out of
order and refused to put the question:
The motion occasioued considerable merri-
ment throughout the hall,
1t is said that if the ground hog comes
out and sees his shadow, he goes back,
knowing that the weather will be cold. II
the sun does not shine he does not 90 back
again, knowing that the cold weather has
passed. Whether the ssgacious animal
saw his shadow yesterday, depends alto .
gether upon the time of day he came out.
The sun did not shine in the morning but
it did shine in the afternoon. With this
uncertainty hanging over the matter our
readers will be compelled to quietly await
the revelations of the future.
