The CELEBRATED PRUssIAN NEEDLE
GUN-This arm, which has proved SO
destructive in the hands of the Prusians,
and accomplished so much towards the
vanquishment of the Austrian forces, is
loaded at the breech. The cartridge is
placed in the chamber with the rapidity
which is required to dischare the gun Of
Iefauchey, and all other pieces in which
the barrel is discharged or displaced by a
simple movement. This barrel receives
its charge and is restored to its place in a
few seconds. The firing, in place of be.
ing determined by the employment of a
cap, as in our fire arms, is produced by
the contact Of a needle with the cap,
which cap is placed in the centre of the
cartridge and the movement of this needle
is produced by the play of a battery
which works upon strong spiral sprihg
placed behind the lock of the gun. This
spring runs through the powder and
pushes against an explosive losenge, cup
or printing placed between the charge and
the ball. The firing then is central in
terror and instantaneous.
The powder taking its full force of ex-
pansion at time, the charge may be less
considerable; the piece being riAed. the
precision is much greater. This portable
hire arm being light does not fatigue the
soldier. and being loaded by the breech
and the printing being attached to the
cartridge, the discharges may succeed each
other in as rapid succession as those fred
from revolver. Such is the murderous
weapon which has excited so much ridi.

DIsTRIoT CONVENTION. will be seen
by call of the District Committee, that a
convention has been called here on the
18th of Aug. next. 1t is expected the
Number present will exceed that of any
convention ever held in this district. and
it be we'll for our citizens to make such
preparations for the reception Of the null
titude as may be necessary.
The Free Press, in remarking upon it,
don't like the place on account of incon-
venience Of access. But there is no place
in this district that is 80 accessible to the
majority of its inhabitants as Hyde Park.
1t comes out strong against Mr.. Baxter's
denomination for Congress. and We give its
remarks on this point - a.e.
ut is however, understood that the pres
ent incumbent, Portus Baxter, will again
be urged for denomination. This is
quite contrary to the statement which was
current awhile since, and was understood
to be authorized by Mr.. Baxter, that he
did not desire to be again candidate -
but it is obviously the case. st ..
eve had hoped that MI. Baxter would
have been content with the three elections
which have been accorded him by the PEG.
pie Of this district. The people have dealt
Dery literally by him, and it is time that
he should yield the course to some one else.
Surely the Third District is not 50 barren
of men Of ability and integrity, or Mr..
Baxter 80 conspicuous for those qualities,
that his claims to a fourth nomination
should enforce attention. +, -, ..:...
I'VE believe that those familiar with the
position in which Mr.. Baxter stands, have
considered it a matter Of plain prudence
on his part, quietly to withdraw, aud fur
nish no occasion for the revelations con-
corning himself. which the attempt gain
to force him upon the republicans of this
dist must inevitably compel,
"0wing nothing to Mr.. Baxter, we still
certainly would do him no injustice. and
regard for the good name of the state and
party Of which he ia representative, and

number of penitents is still large and accessions
to the Church are of daily occurrence. At the
Methodist Church, on Sunday and Sunday night,
the interest on the subject of religion seemed to
take strong hold on the feelings of the audience,
a number who had previously made Il profession
of faith, attached themselves to the Church, and
the number of penitcnts was increased.

Witness described the palisade around the pr
son, and stated it to be rather frail, especially
that part that was built to enlarge the grounds,
after the-prisoners arrived-a man might easily
shake it with his hand, and there were places
where tire plank did not reach the ground, under
which persons could creep by removing the dirt
many prisoners did escape in this way-thlnks
500 or 60 in alone or two hundred were re-
captured they were not punished for escaping
Witness gave the facts connected with the kill
ing of Lieut. Davis. He had just come from the
town to the prison, and was informed by Mr..
Lvery that one of the prisoners, an oiiicer had
been shot by a sentinel, and that the others were
very smuch excted-went into the prison when
Gen. Hays, one of the prisoners asked that the
sentinel should be removed, and witness promis-
ed it should be DONE Witness started with some
of the prisoners to look for pin or badge, that
had belonged to Lieut.. Davis, when the same
sentinel warned him not to approach, and it was
not until he had called the corporal of the guard
and some other officer that he was allowed to go
to the place.
Before this guard had been placed on the in
side of the palisade and about ten feet from it,
and the path they trod was known in that part OF
the prison as the dead line; thu tree at which
Lieut. Davis was shot was between this line and
the palisade. The sentinel who shot Lieut.. Davis
was lad about fourteen years old, and witness
did not think him of sound mind-thinks if he
had possessed ordinary discretion he would not
have shot him. The shooting of Lieut.. Davis
cast gloom over the whole garrison, and MAJ.
Gee expressed great regret at the circumstance
he removed the sentinel pursuant to the request
of Gen. Hays and the other prisoners. 1t was
against the orders for prisoners to tie dead
line, and if Lieut. Davis crossed this line, witness
did not think the SCI tinel broke the strict letter
of the order.
Court adjourned to 10 O'Clock Saturday.
