war, partly invented by the EN-
peror Napoleon "Imagine coffee

opening at the top half yard in
diameter. Into this cartouches are
shoveled, and by means of wheel
turned by a handle. The soldier who
works the instrument let's single
cartouche fall into each of the eight
barrels of the Mitrailleuse. These
barrels are about a yard in length.
AS the trigger falls on the cap it
closes the barrels, the shots are fred,
and the wheel, in turning, re.opens
he barrels, re-cocks the trigger, aud
cts other cartouches assume the
places of those discharged. This
instrument, worked by a single sol
lier, discharges from fifty to fifty

Loo ON THE RANPAoE.-The Kama
wha Republican gives the following ac-
count of singular accident which
occurred at the head waters of Tup-
psr's Greek, one day last week:
A Mr.. Eden went from his residence
to the top.of hill near by, and after
Chopping down large tree, cut from 1t
a log about fifty feet in length. The
hill being steep, it occurred TO Mr.. +.
that the easiest way of getting the log
to the point at which he designed using
upon gave it "a start, but one
the other. the pOnderous "shela.
lah" very naturally changed it's posi-
tion, and made the descent ut rapid
rate, ''eend foremost" which position
1t maintained until it reached It's desti-
nation. Not, however, the destination
intended by the owner; for it uncere-
mOniously entered his dwelling, driv-
ing everything before II, and finally
settled cOzily down in the place which,
until then, had been. occupied by the
logs supporting one corner of the build
ing. The most singular part of the
affair is, that although chairs, tables,
and other furniture were upset and
thrown promiscuously around, and the
foundation driven almost from beneath
the building, not one of the half dozen
children OF Mr.. Eden, all of whom were
in the house at the time, received the
slightest injury, unless the terrible
fright resulting from the disaster should
curtail the growth to which they would
otherwise have attained.

URDAY MORNING, MARCH I, 1868.
Ohio Republican Convention.
CoLUMBus, ONO, March 5, 1865.


The Convention here yesterday, was,
by common consent considered the
largest and most enthusiastic ever held
In Ohio. There was but one county in
The State not represented, (MOnroe,) all
the balance being fully shown up.
The hotels were all crowded, notwith
standing the Union Club furnished ac-
commodations for very large number
of the delegates. The action of this
convention, has been anxiously looked
for by those who think and feel that a
crisis, quite equal to mono past, is now
hanging over US, hence the committee
on resolutions were selected with great
care. Al IL O'Clock the convention was
called to order by Hon. VIM. Dennison,
and temporary secretary chosen among
whom was the delegate from the Con-
fedeIate y Roads, Rev. Petroleum v.
Nasty. After the appointment OF the
several committees, the convention took
a recess until two p. m., at which time
the convention again met. The build
ing was densely packed, and the aisles
were filled with persons standing.
The Committee on Permanent Organ
ization reported as President, Gen. John
G. Lee, with nineteen Vice Presidents,
and as Secretaries Thomas G. Donald
son. of Franklin, d. r. Locke (Nasby, ]
of Lucas, and w. p. Fogg of Cuyahoga.
Gen. Lee, upon being presented TO the
Convention, was received with enthu-
siasm. He thanked the Convention for
the honor conferred upon him, and
Then turned his attention to the subject
of the days proceedings.
The following named gentlemen re-
ceived nomination as State officers:
Supreme JWdge-Wm. White.
Secretary Of Stdte-Gen. J. X. Sher-
wood.
School CommtssiOne,'-Captain ]. A.
Norris.
Cerk Of Supreme COurt-Rodney
EoOse.
Member Board of Public Works-J as.
Moore.
The next business was the selection
of Presidential Electors. The Hon.
David Tod and Hon. Samuel Galloway
were chosen by acclamation. For Dele
gates ut large, Fred. Hassaurek, Gen.
J. g. Lee, Hon. John a. Bingham, and
James Scott were chosen.
The Hon. Fred. Hassaurex, Chair
man of the Committee on Resolutions,
presented the platform, which was
adopted.
During the progress of the ballot for
Secretary of State, the President Of the
Convention read a telegram from WASH
ingtOn, announcing that articles OF
impeachment had been presented to
the Senate. Three times three cheers
were given, when Rev Granville Moody,
the fighting parson, moved that the
President or the Convention be INSTRUCT
ed to answer, and say in the name OF
the Convention TO move Immediately Y
upon the enemy's works; which was
agreed to. a delegate proposed that
Rev. Moody pray for the President,
but he declined, saying that we Metho.
dists believe there are some persons
past praying for.
Eloquent addresses were made last
night 10 a very large audience by Hon.
s. Galloway. Hon. d. r. auckland,
General Keitfer, Colonel Moody and the
Hon. E. E. White. The business of the
Convention passed off to the satisfac.
tion of all concerned. and the delegates
are now returning home, where they
have promised to work for rhe success
of the ticket nominated yesterday.
