The New Albanv lind \ Comm

The New Albany und.) CONNER
ctdl relates the following sharp perform
ance ola Cincinnati business man: While
New Albany n.oneyed citizen was in
Cincinnati some days ago, he was solicit
ed for loan of ten thousand dollars by a
prominent business man of that city, con-
sidered one among the NEST substantial
operators in the Queen City. The New
Albany man not having the money with
him. neither desli ing to check on home
for that amount, replied that he would
go home, get the money, return with it
to Cincinnati, and loan it to his friend.
This he did, letting the Cincinnatiau
have eight thousand dollars. The same
day he loaned the money the New Al
bantam returned to his home and three
or four days after reaching home, he re-
ceived notification that the gentleman
to whom he had loaned the money ha6
made application for the benefit of the
Bankrupt law, and that he must file his
eight thousand dollar claim, in order te
receive has share pro rata out of the pro.
ceeds of his bankrupt's estate.

A 6. OOO.DOunder Gun.

A most successful inventor and engin.
eer has lately been patented, and the
specification has been published, of an
enormous air gun of thirty two h bore
to throw a six thousand pound shot.
The bore of the gun is to be upwards of
thirty feet long, and the inventor asserts
that he can compress and retain air at a
working pressure of 10000 pounds per
cubic inch The sectional area of thirty
two inch bore is S04i square inches and
the total initial pressure would thus be
S,042, 400. pounds or nearly $500 tons.
1t would of course be next to impossible
to pump in air fast enough at this enor-
nous pressure to keep up the velocity OF
the shot, so the high pressure air is to
be contained in huge casing or jacket,
formed round the bore of the gun, and
having the same capacity of say los
cubic feet.
Thus the pressure being reduced almost
to nal at the muzzle, the air would have
been expanded but two fold on the dis
charge of the shot: and if we disregard
the influence of rarefactiop. and conse-
quent cooling by expansion, and its effect
Oh the pressure we should have 5000
pounds per square Inch still left If We
take the average pressure at 1900 pounds
throughout the length of the bore we
shall have . 400 tons exerted through
thirty feet, of say 72'0o0, foot tons, and
this, were the air to follow fast enough,
would send 5000 pound shot at rate
of more than 300 feet per second. As
no ordinary valve could be opened quick
enough to admit air under such pressure
and in such quantities the shot itself
forms the valve.
The high pressure air in the air casing
or jacket enters the chamber of the gun
through ports, hike those by which steam
enters steam cylinders. The shot-a
short cylinder with hemispherical or
pointed ends-is so packed as to close
these ports while the jacket is being
pumped full. To discharge the gun a
little high pressure is separately pump
ed in behind the shot, SO as to start it on
and past the ports where the stored up
air does the rest of the work.
Although there may be certain practic-
al difficulties in carrying out this scheme,
it possesses great interest, and we shall
look with much curiosity to its practical
realization.

Detract1On

Since it became evident that Grant was
to he the Republican candi date for the
presidency, the New York World has
persi stently attempted todetract from his
fair fame in the minds of the American
people, both by attacks upon his personal
character and his military record. At

travagant in eulogy of Gen. Grant gen.

d;ficulties-to turn loose the Shylocks ana

AZ secession, which has swept away three
fourths of the country peoples property.
You editors and city people have not lost
as heavily as the country people OF negro
nronerty. and have settled most of your
old debts in some shape. Not so with the
country people. They won't compromise,
but exact dollar for dollar, and If the stay
law is raised few moneyed men, who are
so narro,o-minded, selfish, and contracted as
not even to feel able to subscribe for pa
per. will own all the lands. And, slrs, 1t
seems to me that, even If l were disposed
not to interfere with the stay law, as you
infer General SLOVENIAN is, | would NOT
take the responsibility upon myself ana

FOr LNU DISPatCu'
The Stay Law.

If the stay law is extended lot which
suppose there will be very little doubt when
the entire pressure Of the people is brought
to bear ON General Stoneman) hope 1t
may not be extended indefinitely; but that
it may provide that the debtor shall pay
off his Indebtedness by installments and |
would suggest that one-fourth of the debt,
interest, and costs, shall be paid on the lst
day Of August next, and the remainder in
three equal annual installments from that
date. This would give the debtor time to
realize on his crop OF tobacco and his grow
ing crop of wheat, and by that means be-
lieve many, very many, of our very best
people would be entirely relieved. And in
every case where party fails to pay any
one Of these installments he should be de-
prived of the benefit Of the stay law.
Where parties have made deeds of trust
these should be closed between the 1st day
of August, 1869, and the LIST day Of Janu-
airy, 1871. If some such arrangement was
made, am sure it would be all the debtor
could, ask, and, as creditor, | think they
should have this much; and then We would
have enough distress in the next four
years to satisfy any one but demon.
