ALEXANDRIA.-rh Culpeper Observer, 10
speaking OF the failure of the recent retroces-
sion scheme, says: alexandria is city
which the state could not we'll afford to spare.
Au Course OF time, We cannot say how long, her
advantages will be properly developed and d.
rcctrd, aud'when they are, she will become a
grea, city, equal to any 10 the State. What
her advantages are, everybody knows. They
can DC developed by the judgment combined
with energy aud perseverance,. which may be
somewhat inert just now, but which necessity
will force toto activity atterawhiIe. We would
rejoice to see the old town prospecting, and
hope that Of the blessings which VIC all look
Tor 10 the good times coming, she may have
her full share"

SUpERsEpEAs REFUSED. Brief mention
was made yesterday OF the refusal by the Court
Of Appeals to grant supersedeas 10 the case
Of Parkhurst vs.. the Virginia Midland Rail-
land Railroad Company. The facts OF this
case are as follows: j. Parkhurst, jr., 4 60.
held note signed by John s. Barbour, Presl-
dent of the Washington City, Virginia Mid
land and Great Southern Railroad Company
on which payment was refused, and suit being
brought 10 the Corporation Court OF this city
an office Judgment was obtained, which was
afterwards confirmed by the Court. 20 appear
ance being entered Tor the Company. sum-
mons on a suggestion was then issued against
the Alexandria and Fredericksburg Railway
Company, who answered that they had suth
cicnt money in their hands due the Company
to satisfy Parkhurst' 5 Judgment. The counsel
for the Company then filed motion In the
Corporation Cour, to set aside the Judgment 10
gsvor of Parkhurst. on the ground that the Of
flee Judgment was improperly entered up, be-
cause there was no proof that John s. Bar
bour was the President of the railroad COM
pany, and had the right to execute the note.
Judge Lowe overruled the motion, and the
Company applied to the Judges of the Court
Of Appeals for supersedeas to bring the case
before that Court, and this writ has been unanl-
mousy refused, thus sustaining the Judgment
of the Cooperation Court. Mcssrs: >. w.

Speaking Of the great guns recently cast
in Germany and England, correspondent
says:
The monster cannons now IN existence
ara amply examples of the manner IN
which history repeats itself. Four centu-
ries AGO. in I478, the Turks erected q Dat
tarv of guns against Scutari, the largest OF
which was capable of throwing . stone
shot thirty-two inches in diameter anu
weighing i6lO pounds, whereas the pro)ec-
tile of the English eighty ton gun welRns
only 1850 pounds. 1t is evident, moreover,
thai these enormous guns were of practical
service, for it is recorded that 2oS4 ROUNDS
were fred from them in thirty days.
At the Castle of Asia, ON the Dardanelles,
there still exists battery of bronze can
non, some of which have bore OF twenty
eight inches in diameter. When the BRUSH
Admiral. Sir John Duckworth, forced the
massage of the straits in March, 1871, one OF
his ships was struck by huge st0ns ooAet
thrown from one of these guns, ana u Is
said that the missile madeso large no mSa -
the aide of tho vessel that the captain, wnen
he looked over the side to see the extent Oh
the iniurv. was surprised to see two OF Ms
sailors thrust their heads through the aper-
ture at the same instant.
The ROYAL George. whose name IL 30
familiar to all readers of Cowper's poetry,
was one Of the ships injured in this en- q,
counter. The great gun Of Beejapore, with sn
q oalibre OF twenty-eight inches, is an9tnet
instance of what gun founders c0uIo ~
complish more than three centuries sgo'
This weapon was last discharged, it is said
during the eighteenth century, on the coca
,sien of visit from the Rajsh OF Sattafs'
The shot weighed more than 1000 pounds
The lar Pooshksr, or great gun OF MOSCOW
has bore OF ifty-6ve inches IN dlame.er;
but has never been filled with shotteo
charges, and We think that few person.
would be anxious to make the experiment

STATE NBWQ,
EAST BATON ROUGE.

From the Advocate, January IL:
A rum0r il circulating in town to the ef-
feet that Mr.. Richard Odom, IN old and e..
teemed citizen Of this parish. residing near
Greenwell Syringe, about seventeen miles
from this city, was called to his door at q
late hour during Sunday night, By some
unknown person. and shot down. We hope
the rumor is untrue. Mr.. Odom has a.
ways borne the reputation OF being Q good,
quiet citizen; was . Democrat, and gen
tleman in every sense of the word.
The report published in the New Orleans
Times of the seventeenth about the killing
of . negro at Alto bv Mr.. j. T. McKitrick,
we learn, is false. We have seen gentle
man from Port Hudson who says the negro
referred to, after leaving the boat. was
walking on the road toward Port Hudson,
was asked by the latter what he was doing
there, to which inquiry the negro returned
some impude MT reply, when Mckitrick
pulled out his pistol and shot him.
About the killing of the young man
Brown, we learn the following: McKitrick
met Brown in the village of Port Hudson,
and after some conversation asked him il
he was friend to Jim Hyce. To this in
quiry Brown said he liked Jim very we'll,
when McKitrick remarked he had no use
for such people. After further talk he In
$780,
walked into . barroom for that purpose
While they were in there q third pers OF
came in and asked McKitrick to step into
the back room as be wished to see him
They went into the room mentioned, Br0wf
remaining in the barrOOm. After remain
ing out some five or ten minutes Mckitricl
came back into the bsrroom and remarked
he believed he would shoot Brown, at thu
same time pulled his pistol and fired.
We give these particulars - We get then
for what they may be worth. But there ii
one thing we are fully satisfied of, the negrt
was not killed for the purpose OF robbery
From the Advocate, January Is:
We are pleased to learn that Mr.. klchart
Odom was not shot, as rumored here OF
Monday. But We regret to state that SOM
unknown person shot and killed negro re
siding on Mr.. Odom's plantation. There
altogether too much Of this shooting lately
and 1t is the duty of all good citizens to q
once take such prompt steps to put stol
tn euOh unWArr0nt0d steps.
