Cornorpences.—The riot at Baltimore, of
which two loyal troops and some dozen in
the Seceseion mob were killed, occurred on
the 19th of April, the anniversary of the
battle of Lexington, The first blood shed
in the unboly war against the Constitution
of the United States was at Charleston, on
the anniversary of the birth of its great defender, Henry Clay ; and the second blood
shed was on the anniversary of the commencement of the war which led to its edoption. These, with another fect to which we
recently alluded, viz: that Rhode Island,
the last of the original thirteen States to
adopt the Constitution, was the first to rush
to its defence, may by some, be considered
remarkable historical coiacidences.—[Moruing Call.
SensaTionaL.—The following sensational
item was telegraphed from San Francisco
to the Union, on the 15th instant :
Sweeny & Baugh’s dispatch by the Pony
says that Goverpor Letcher, Floyd and the
Virginia conspirators are to be tried by the
people for treason. Vigilance Committees
were organized in New York, The papers
reported 4,000 of the Confederate troops
killed during the fight with Fort Sumter.
England and France offer to aid the Administration to suppress Southern privateering. England offers arms and troops
from Canada to assist our Goverament.
How To po Ir.—The Horsetown Argus
gives'the following receipe for success in
electioneering in Shasta county :
If you wish to electioneer in Shasta

hair, be sare to dip your boots in mad, and

if you do not succeed, you can arrive at
the conclusion that either the people are
fools or you are unpopular.
Tue Louisville Journal says: In 1856 we

the mortar, and may be used in the place
of either one of these pieces in sea coast defense.
A mortar isavery short cannon, with
avery large bore, some of them thirteen
inches in diameter, for firing shells. Those
in use in the army are setatan angle of
45° and the range of the shell ie varied by
altering the charge of powder. The shell
is caused to explode at just about the time
that it strikes, by means of a fuse the length
of which is adjusted to the time of flight to
be occupied by the ball, which, of course,
corresponds to the range. The accuracy
with which the time of the burning of a fuse
can be adjusted by its varying length is sur— ; good artillerists generally succeed
0 having their shells explode at the exact
instant of striking. In loading a mortar,
the shell is carefully placed with the fuse
direetly forward, and when it is diechar¢ed the shell ie so completely enveloped with
flame that the fuse is nearly always fired.
The fase is made by filling a wooden cylinder with fase powder, the cylinder being of
sufficient length for the longest range, to be
cut mn shorter for shorter ranges as re
quired,
A Dablgreen gun is an ordinary cannon,
except that itis made very thick at the
breech for some three or four feet, when it
tapers down sharply to less thao the usnal
size. This form was adoptedin consequence of the a ae ony of Capt. Dahigreen, of the U.S. Navy, having shown
that when a gun bursts it usually gives way

Webster once said: “Who ehall reconstruct
the shattered fabric of a demolished government? Whoeball rear again the well
proportioned columns of constitutional liberty? Who eball frame together the skil!ful architecture which anites national sovereighty with States righte, individual security and pen prosperity? No! if thes:

Like the Colliseum and the Parthenon, they
will be destined toa mournful, a melau. choly immortality. Bitterer tears, however, will flow over them than were ever shed
over the monuments of Roman or Grecian
