Az anonymous Rutland eorreponden. e

An anonymous Rutland correspondent e
the Springfield Republican. las been drawing
comparisons between Gov. Farnham and
Gov. Proctor, with an obvious desire to dis
parase the present Governor. Another cor
respondent of the Republican pronounces the
comparison to be "sillily sentimental bosh,
and makes comments thereon not altogether
favorable 10 Gov. Proctor, and the RepuJE-
can prints them Under the healing of The
Rival Vermont Governors" This is ali
wrong. Governor Farnham and his prede-
cessor are in no selsc rivals. They art per
sonal friends, in general coE.iia, accorl Us re-
CARDS matters OF public p"!Icy, ani withou,
conflicting schemes or ambitions; and each
must be heartily disguised at any attempt II
exalt him at the others expense. Governor
Farnham's administration is as yet but three
months old. When it is ended, we presume
it will be found that neither administration
will suffer by comparison with the other.
AT present. certainly, in this, as in most
other eases, comparisons are odiOus.'

FIRING FRICSSON'S NEW GUN.

The new gun of Ericsson's invention, the De
stroyer was fred yesterday afternoon, under the
supervision of the board of officers appointed for the
purpose. consisting of Captains I. o. Seltridge and
r. l.. Phythiau, and Lleuten1nt-C Crow
ninsheld. The Destroyer was moored alongside inc
Constitution, in Wallabout Bay, and subma-
rine target was fixed three hundred feet from the
vessel The gun Denetrates the bows OF the De
stroyer some distance beneath the surface OF the
wa;er, and is so arranged as to fire
through valve, or rather through O port
hole which is closed by valve instantly when the
gun is discharged. Previous to firing the mouth OF
the gun is closed by tOmpion, but as soon as the
gun is discharged the valve drops down and closes
the portfolio. The gun was fired yesterday at low
water, and the prOectile struck the mud before IL
reached the target, and was thus detected. The
trial will be co tinued for several weeks. The ma
chinery is to be tested by Chief Engineer Magee.
