HE GArLISa GuS.-The boats on the
Virginia and North Carolina canal are
said to be armed with the Calling gun as
protection from guerrillas. A cores
pondent of an eastern journal says of it :
.The Calling gun is novel piece of or
dinance; it consists of six chambers,
which are made to revolve around CEN
trail barrel by means of crank. The
charges are poured into a hopper, and the
gun is self-losding. 1t will throw from
seyenty-five to one hundred balls per min
ute, the number Of discharges depending
upon the speed with which the crank is
turned. officers here speak confidently
of the success and effectiveness of this
novel piece Of ordnance; so that ifthe gu
errillas interfere with the Gazelle they
will be greeted with continuous shower
of bullets. All the boats that ply on the
canal will hereafter be furnished with the
Calling, or, as the irreverent term it, the
'cofee-milP gun"

LEGAL ADvIcB.-"Bien" (how that

talks about resting his case " NIT his lekal
advisers" His legal advisers viii proba-
bly, refer him to the statute concerning
crimes and punishments, and bid him post
himself concerning pains and penalties
therein enumerated. From the fact that
the Rabbi had big mountain howitzer
ouekled to his back, and which Topped
around fearfully while tine little monkey
was gesacniating, we thought it looked as
though he was going to take the law into
MS own hands. One of the members
wrote out motion to disarm the terrible
Teuton, but failed to present it in due

How does the reader who is constantly
pratng about the magnitude OF our National
debt, and our inability ever to Gquidatc it,
harmonic his views with the above exhibit?
The figures presented demonstrate that al
though we have been disbursins m llions and
millions Of money in payment Of arrears due
soldiers and sailors, we have really reduced
the aggregate principal of our debt more than
sixteen millions of dollars within the last Two
months ending October 3oth.
But our constitutional growler will say ''bear
in mind the great number of gunboats sold at
Mound City and other points within that pc
riod, and the large government sales through
out the country" Yes, we will not lose
sight of these facts But Mr.. Growler will also
please to remember that IN the same time the
government paid out double the amount SO re-
allied, in discharging its anterior obligations to
soldiers, sailors, contrac tors, ana in payment
of military commissions &c. If this be so, and
we doubt not the figures if accessible would
prove it. our Nation has rounded its turning
point, and unless forced iuto complications

OUR NATIONAL DEBT,

l. is a question amongst tinanciers whether
financial Indebtedness OF a full, plethoric treas
ury without Indebtedness, is the best Indication
of National SUCCESS and even of National wealth
We have discussed this subject before and do
not propose to recur to it to-day. But we will
say en- passant that the United States is about
TO solve the problem. When the war broke
out she had plethoric treasury, and her in
debtedness was probably less than that Of any
nation in the world. The war saddled her
with an immense debt, large enough to
cause many unrcfecting people 10 declare that
the debt was so enormous that it would never
be paid.
