A Gun That Held a Regiment at Bay.

Mr.. William B. Winans has in his
possession remarkable gun, and
one that has an unwritten and partly an
unknown history more remarkable than
the weapon itself. As. to where it was
made, or by what train of circumstances
its death-dealing crack became II sound
of terror along the Tennessee and Cum
berland Rivers during the earlier years
of the late war, we shall not pretend to
say. The very sound of the gun became
known and familiar, and an OminOus
one along infantry skirmish lines, and
among sharpshOOters. Near the time
of the battle of Shilo some infantry had
been employed in skirmish or recOnnOlt-
ering duty in the deep-tangled woods.
Crack, bang, boom rOared the old gun
in the distance, at every discharge lay
ing soldier stiff and stark in death
with unerring accuracy. Shift their po-
sitions as they might, the gun would
bang away, and with a hiss and thud
there would be one soldier less. The
direction of the firing was ascertained,
and the entire Hegiment or party was
ordered to charge toward it without
knowing where or what it was. On they
went, losing man at every few PAGES.
Nothing was accomplished, and the par
ty returned, leaving the murderous gun
cracking away as they retreated. Short
" afterward the old firelock was heard
again with her murderous music. 1t
was resolved at all-hazards to find and
capture the Internal machine. After
persistent efforts a tall, raw-boned,
grizzle-bearded, large-sized Texas rang
er was discovered in the foliage of tall
tree, from among the branches of which
he was picking off his foes as, well as he
had picked off hundreds before.
Brought to bay, he continued to load
and shoot with deadly aim till brought
down, and the famous gun was captur-
ed. 1t is a gun of immense calibre, be-
ing near eight feet long, with smooth
bore, single barrel, large enough to adj
nit a small-sized misunderstanding

FUTURE ESTIMATES.
In estimating the expected revenues Tor
the year ending June 20, 1871, wishing to be
on the safe side, estimates have been sub
mitted which show an expected deficiency
of SIS. Isl COZ, but IL Is believed the de-
iciency for that year will be very much
less than the estimates. Basing the esti
mate Of the revenues at the smallest amount,
and Of the expenditures at the largest, an in
crease is shown in the percentage Of def
cheney Of only 10 39-10O against "a 65-1OO,
which was the estimate OF the percentage of
deficiency Of the last year over that OF It's
predecessor. MARSHALL JEWELL,

An Exciting Panther Hunt in Vermont.

of the village of West Wardsboro. Here
Mr.. Fits and his companion abandoned
the search, intending TO secure help and
follow it mp the next morning. Satur-
day morning the hunters, about sixteen
in ali, armed with rifles. shotguns and
rovovers, and accompanied by several
dogs, started for the animal. They first
passed around the woods to make sure
that the supposed bear had not left his
lair, and then the whole place was sur
rounded by Il chain of armed men to
prevent his escape if he should make 4
break fe the mountains. Twelve of the
hunters were thus arranged, while

and in a few moments they came upon
