The fort itself is very large. Tae walls are more than a mile in circuit, bat thick and high, surrounded by a moat which is from sixty to one bandred feet wide, with eight feet of water, drawbridge and outer batteries. It mounts some three hundred heavy guns, bas mortars for throwing shells, furnaees for heating balls, etc. Nothing eould approach within three miles except under the fire of all these batteries.

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.

Tue Louisville Journal says: In 1856 we eaid the time would come when any man who should oppose the reopening of the Af. rican slave trade would be denounced as an Abolitionist.

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.

No! if thes: columns fall, they will be raised not again. 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 art; forthey will be the remnants of a more glorioue edifice than Greece or Rome ever saw, the edifice of constitutional American liberty,’’ EEE ----~—-THERE are numerous oi) stories going the rounds, and among them none are better thao thie, told by the Wheeling Intelligencer: A darkey was superintending the boring of a well one night, the proprietor . being anxious to complete the work and . therefore laboring night and omy The . weather was cold and a firc was burning . near the mouth of the well.
