DEMBIULIZ AVION.
Wc kam from St. Louis that the army
there is being repid'y demoralized by an
€XCCES of whisky among the officers and
mer. “Targk-kg” isti bom secession
ist; and soldiers who fraternize with him
are doing the'rebels good service. Is Gen.
Fremont powerless in the premises? The
"Washington bar rooms lost ns the battle
of Bull Ron. Shall we have such a reason
to assign for the next defeat in Missouri?
atSSOGBI,
There is quiet at St. Louis and Jefferson
City, but apprehension is active, and
preparations still more so.
The great battle is yet to come.
McCulloch's forces, lately at Bolivar, are
now said to be twenty-three miles nearer
the State capital, and still pressing forward
as rapidly as their limited means of
transportation will allow. Sedalia, the
terminus of the Pacific Railroad, continues
to be held by 2,000 secessionists. Bands
-of rebels, probably only the advance par
ties of the army pressing on behind them,
are hovering about Rolla, and there has
been an unimportant skirmish with them
at Lane’s Prairie, 16 miles distant. Gen.
Fremont is doing all tfcat can be done to
prepare h:s grand army for the important
work that yet remains to be completed.
(C SIBSPELLED IN THE GAZETTE.’’
The telegraph insists in marring the
rame of a very meritorious Chicago man
in the regular army. It writes him down
ns u Yemer,” “Torao,” &c., with utter
disregard of what is duo to good manners.
Of course we speak of Capt. John W.
Ttbsze, late of the artillery, but now
Commissary of Subsistence attached to
the Staff of Major-General Hunter, for
service at the head of the Illinois troops.
Capt. Turner is the eon of John B. Tomer
Esq., of this city, a graduate of West
Point, and a highly accomplished, as he is
believed to be a very gallant officer. He
is transferred to this Department from
Portress Monroe, where he has had com
mand of a company in Major Anderson’s
old regiment. Why not, instead of shut
ting him up in the Commissariat, put him
at the head of a regiment of Illinois vol
unteers, and in a field where his skill as a
commander will tell upon the general re
sult?
Bmtß’S EXPEDITION.
The strong expedition that has left Fort
ress Monroe, under General Butler, is said
to be destined to the North Carolina coast,
to block up the inlets with some of the old
hulks that Government has purchased,
But three frigates, like the Minnesota
Wabash and Pawnee, with the gun-boats
Honticello and Harriet Lane, a fleet of
steamers, propellers, etc,, and, more than
all, 4,000 troops with a Major General at
the head of them, are quite a formidable
outfit for a purpose comparatively so small
We remember that General Butler
was originally assigned to the de
partment of Southeastern Virginia
and North Carolina.” General Wool
has relieved him cf a portion of his charge.
Who knows, then, but the sealed orders
tinder which he has set out from Hampton
Hoads direct him to establish his head
quarters for North Carolina at some con
venient place along that coast ? It could
easily be done, and nothing would be bet
ter ; nor would Butler like anything bet
ter. The blockade of North Carolina, and
the command of its inlets, now the conve
nient landing place of numerous priva
teers, can best be attained in this way; and
besides, a new order of things would be
instituted by taking the war into Africa,
It wouldn’t be strange if we heard racket
among the privateersmen of Albemarle
and Pamlico.
ABN OLD HARRIS.
It will be recollected that Arnold Harris,
of Washington, was one of the messengers
Vbo went to the rebel lines on Monday,
after the battle of Bull Run, to endeavor to
get the body of CoL Cameron, and that he
was arrested as a spy and thrust into pri
son at Richmond. A good deal of sympa
thy has been expended on t'.is man,
though from his antecedents his loyalty
was violently suspected. We find in the
New Orleans Picayune of Aug 21st, two
letters from him which mark him as a trai
tor ; our only wish is that he may be
hung by the friends by whom he is con
fined, on the supposition tbat he is also a
traitor to them. In one of these letters,
dated Washington, April 27th, he says:
“I go to Philadelphia for Mrs. IL andHla, (his
daughter,) and take them to Kentucky, wherethey
will stay some time—perhaps all summer. I will
remain with them a few days, sud then be ready
for anything—must take part lathe great drama
going on, making myself useftn in some way,
ttongh lam rot fit for very hard service. I shall
get letters from Montgomery on my arrival in
Kentucky, which wifi decide my course—most
likely I will return y> Richmond.
“ We have a terrible conflict before ns. You can
not Imagine the state cf things at the North—the
hordes are out to a man, and those upon whom
wc relied to check the aggressive spirit of the Ab
olitionist* have all caved in, and are most violent
In their hostility to the South—or. as they say, in
snetainirg the Government—all fighting under the
«ry that the stars and stripes must be sustained—
*n attractive, but false issue. They come from
hill and vale, and I verily believe, can raise a mil
lion of men, and all the money they want.
“ The South must strain every nerve, or there la
great danger tbat these Northern rascals will win
their game.”
This is sufficiently explicit; but as it was
st the beginning of the trouble, he may hare
had time to repent of his heresies and re
cant Another letter, written from, his
place of confinement Aug. 11th, is in the
game rein. "We quote:
** We are here,and as the Government atWashlng

the Confederacy after my release,

I have not heard from them for a month or mere.

The caffe is made out, and there is no
mere to be said, save that Arnold Harris
is & fair specimen of aclass of men now in
■Washington proposing Union sentiments,
as he was daDy in the habit of doing, at
dinner parties with loyal Senators and
heads of Bureaus whose society he most
courted. That he was, if not a contractor
under Government, a partner of contract
ors, is certain; and that his restless dispo
tion and innate treachery made him the
reporter to the rebel leaders of all affect
ing their interest which his intimacy with
high officials enabled him to acquire, is
just as clear. He deserves the halter, and
justice will not be done until he gets it
VOLUME XV.
CROSS LINES.
We have interesting particulars of the
affair at Cross Lanes, -winch confirm the
first oner announcement that Col Tyler
■was surrounded and driven from his
position by an overwhelming force, and
our own conjecture that the enemy were
severely punished as the price of their
victory. The Federals, only 9*oo strong,
we attacked in both flank and front, at
daylight Monday morning, hy a rebel
force of 3,000 infantry, 400 cavaliy, and 10
pieces of artilleiy. Against these great
odds, the advantages of their own position
were but temporary; and our
troops seem to have taken at once to a
hand-to-hand encounter, bravely cutting
their way through the cordon of death
that surrounded them. The account says
that, though scattered in this close engage
ment of the enemy, they rallied upon be
ing freed from their embrace, and gave
them a volley of musketry which was not
returned; nor was the enemy in circum
stances to make a pursuit as our troops
retired—probably toward Gauley Bridge.
Two hundred out of the nine hundred on
our side are missing, aud_ that number
must cover the dead, wounded and prison
ers left cn the field. Three companies—
D, E, and I—particularly distinguished
themselves. Their Captains were killed,
and also Adjutant DeForrestof Cleveland.
Lient. Colonel Creighton captured the
enemy’s colors.
The line of connection between Gen.
Cox and Bosecrans being thus broken at
its most important point, the enemy will
new quitelikdy turn upon the Federal force
at Gauley Bridge and we may expect ex
citing news from that quarter. Cross Lanes
is only 24 miles distant on the direct turn
pike. Cut off frem reinforcements from
Bosecrans, and surrounded on all sides by
a hostile population, who need but the
presence of Confederate troops to show
their hostility—Gen. Cox must rely upon
his own resources to hold out until relief
can come. He has four regiments, and
now, with Tyler’s, a filth; and with this
number he may be able to maintain him
self for a time. The blow struck at Cross
Lanes can have no other meaning than
danger to him. It would be a serious
event if the possession of the Kanawha
Talley shall need to be a second time con
quered.
3l»jor General Hunter.
Major General Hunter, of the United States
Army, having recovered sufficiently from the
wound received while leading his division at
Bull Run, isabont assuming command of the
Illinois forces, and will stop a few days in this
city to make certain necessary arraogmenta
before proceeding Westward to ooperate
with Mijor General Fremont in a descent
down the MissksippL No more gallant offi
cer than Gen. Hunter lives, and high expecta
tions are formed of what may bs expected
from the army under his command by those
able to judge. He possesses in a singular de
gree, these qualities which gain and retain the
confidence and aflection of the soldiers placed
under him; and, second only to McClellan,
the attention and hopes of the country are
new fixed on the only commander whose di
vision fully and thoroughly executed its or •
ders in the late battle bciore Manassas. Geo.
Hunter will probably stay at the Metropolitan,
aru if rot too weak to receive visitors—still
differing, as he is, from wounds in his neck
and Irg—may expect an enthusiastic ovation
from those of our returned volunteers who
served nnder his command In Virginia, and
also from our loyal citizens of all classes with
whom his name and services are familiar.—JVl

arrives to take command of our •forage,
afford him a reception worthy of his reputa
tion, Who wiH lead off in the arrangements ?
The Confederate Congrcu.
The Congress at Richmond adjourned on
Monday the 19th, to reassemble in November.
Its session, although conducted with closed
doors, Was net entirely harmonious, and hints
arc thrown out that there were several pretty
sharp scrimmages. The Richmond Enquirer
“ regrets ” that “ a minority has been devel-
“ oped of unyielding opponents to the Admin
“istration.” Among the closing acts of the
Congress were the retaliatory confiscation bill,
the bill in aid of Missouri, a tax bill, and an
act for the appointment of two additional
Commissioners to Europe. The preamble and
resolutions relating to Missouri are as fol
lows:
Whereas, The State of Missouri having been
prevented by unconstitutional interference of the
Federal Government from expressing their will in
regard to their union with the Southern Confed
eracy, and that the Missourians now engaged in
repelling lawless inva- ion from their territory by
armed forces, the Confederate Government con
siders it their right and duty to aid the Govern
ment andj. eople of Missouri in resisting invasion
and in securing their opportunity to express their
will upon ail questions affecting their rights ;
therefore
Eesoived, That the President Is authorized to
co-operate through the military power of this Gov
era ment, with the authorities of .Missouri, in de
fending their State against lawless invasion by
the United States, and maintaining their liberty
and independence with Missouri, with power to
accept the services of troops sufficient to suit the
purpose.
The act also provides for the admission of
Missouri into the Confederacy upon an equal
fooling with the other States when the provi
sional constitution will be ratified by the Leg
islature and constituted authorities of Mis
souri, and an authentic copy communicated
to the President. The President is then di
rected by proclamation to announce the ad
mission of Missouri into the Confederacy.
Gen. Ochiltree, of Texas, introduced a reso
lution, which was unanimously adopted, com
plimenting the splendid victory gained by
Gen. McCulloch and his brave army at the
battle of Springfield, Mo.
The Retaliatory Confiscation Bill is an ex
tra touch of cruelty, considering that the
“ alien enemies ” mentioned, and who have
been warned by proclamation to leave within
forty days, cannot pass the Confederate lines,
however disposed they may be. The bill
Provides that receivers shall be appointed to
take charge of the property of alien enemies, and
that Grand Juries shall be charged with the dis
covery cf such enemies. Severe penalties are Im
posed for concealment, both fine and Imprison
ment. A hoard cf Commissioners arc to be ap
pointed to adjudicate upon claims of citizensof
the Confederate States, who may suffer losses from
the Federal law, and such sufferers are to be com-
peceated from the fond created by oar retaliatory
law. The Confederate courts nave jurisdiction to
settle the matter of separate partnerships, where
in one or more of the partners may have their la.
tercet confiscated as aliens.
The President approved the act empowering
the appointment of two other Commissioners
to Europe. The act also empowers the Pres
ident to determine to what nations the Com
missioners now in Europe shall bs accredited,
and to prescribe their duties. The twp addi
tional Commissioners siuli receive the same
pay as those now in Europe.
The Finance Committee of Congress esti
mate that the revenue from the direct tax will
yield thirteen millions of dollars.
The following appointments to the Provis
ional Army have been confirmed by Congress:
Paul O. Herbert of Louisiana, Brigadier Gen*
end; Hugh McLeod of Texas, Major.
Jem D. Clemens has been appointed Con*
federate Marshal of the Tennessee District.
The Bichmond Enquirer learns that Con
gress has called upon the Navy Department
lor an estimate of the amount that will be re
quired to construct two gun-boats, designed
for the defence of Memphis, and the river
above this city. They are to be built upon a
special plan which has been submitted to the
Government. The Examiner thinks that- the
boats will doubtlesfcbe constructed and equip*
ped as speedily as possible.
Impressments at Memphis*
The following, from the Council proceed
ings of Memphis, as reported in the papers
of that city, gives a hint of how the rebel ar
ay Is raised:
The subject of the impressment of citizens
Into Confederate service, brought before the
Board by the Mayor, was discussed at length
by the Aldermen, when Alderman Farmer
offered the following resolution, which was
amended by Alderman Kortrecht, and adopted
by the Board:
SetoLvedy by the Board of Mayor and Aldermen

THE WAB I2f MISSOURI.
[Special Correspondence of the Chicago Tribune.]
St. lons, Tuesday Evening, Aug. 27,1851.
The readers of the Tribune and all other
newspapers must be content to wait for the
war news, until some decisive event actually
transpires. Major Gen. Fremont studiously
keeps his own counsel, and not only so, but
carefully keeps himself, for it has become
about as difficult to "see him as it was to see
President Lincoln a few weeks before the
meeting of Congress. This is causing much
and sometimes, doubtless, just complaint; but
most people will be content if the war is only
vigorously prosecuted. The serious mistake
made by Gen. Fremont and others in his posi
tion, often is the appointment of men around
them who do not carefully weigh the relative
importance of tte matters to be presented
and disposed of A certain few get hold of
positions who are vastly more concerned to
advance their own interests andt_ose of their
personal friends, than to promote the general
welfare. We Lake no charges from personal
observation and experience against the men
who arrange the business to be presented to
Gen. Fremont; but within the last day or
two serious complaints have been mads of
unnecessary delay by those whose position
and business demanded early attention.
To mention another matter may do no good,
and indeed it is a shame to be obliged to
write it; but those in command have an ene
my in our own camp that must be driven out
or our army in some of its divisions will be
utterly demoralized. That enemy is whisky,
in one form or another, and the sooner that
one, I may say several, examples are made in
cashiering those who indulge too freely in its
use the better. On all sides we hear facts that
we cannot mention, bat the thing has become
a hissing and a by-word, and it is well for
thoee in authority in this as in all other cases,
“to know the worst and to provide for it.”
The order of Provost Marshal, McKinstry,
closing all tie liquor saloons, was a step in
the right direction; but the bars of all the
leading hotels have been open to-day, and
have been doing a largo business. The feet
indicates that officers were to be permitted to
imbibe without stint, while the soldiers were
to have their grog stopped entirely. Now,
with all cue respect to “ shoulder
straps” with bars and eagles, and all that,
the proportion of those among the officers
who need the wholesome restraint of Mr.
Provost Marshal McKinstry is greater tb *n
among the soldiers of the army. A stringent
general order on this subject, from Gen. Fre
mont, rigidly enforced, would be worth five
thousand men towards driving the rebels out
of Missouri.
As reported to you by telegraph last night,
the body of the lamented Gem Lyon arrived
in the evening train, and to-day the proper
persons have been arranging it to forward it
to his native Stale. Connecticut may well be
proud of her patriotic, noble eon. His loss
to the Union cause at the West, cannot be es
timated.
There Is so much “ secesh ” in Sr. Louis,
that it has been thought best to make com
paiatively little display over his remains.
The Home Guards are to escort his remains
tc-morrow to the Ohio and Mississippi rail
read ; hut beyond that we hear of nothing
that is to be done.
Troops continue to arrive, but it is feared,
not half so rapidly as they should Without
giving p&it colors, it might be confessed that
the Union cause does notat this juncture look
specially flattering in Missouri. Two large
ai mite of rebels threaten it in the southeast
and the centre; and it Is no child’s play to
drive thtm hack to the States whence they
came. They have entire possession of the
rich lead mines in the southwest, and this is
also one of the brat farming districts in the
Slate, where any supplies eau be hod in abun
dance. What adds to the misfortune is, that
the thrilty frtmere in that section, are a ma
jority of them Union men, and Ben McCul
loch is subsisting his traitors at their expense.
Hew much the cause of the Union here lost
when the braveLyon fell for want of proper
reinforcements, time alone can determine. •
There is no news this evening from the dif
ferent divisions of our army, or from the ene
my. It is expected here that startling events
will soon occur. All hope for the best; but
it is not well to be too sanguine. Let all the
neighboring States send flh troops as fast as
posable. B.
SECOND LETTER.
[Fiom Another Correspondent.]
August 27,1861.
In order to find out and report correctly
how affaire were at Jefferson City, I went up
to that pjace on Saturday. The people, con
trary to my expectations, seemed to feel but
little alarm, while the commanding officers
stated their only fear to be that they would
not he attacked. There are now about 6500
soldiers there, two thousand of whom are
Heme Guards collected from the adjoining
couniice. Conversing with their commander,
he said “ these men have left their homes
because they felt that to preserve them sacred,
and their honor untarnished, they must take
up anas. When the opportunity offers they
will show that Missourians in a battle for the
right, are brave.” Encamped directly south
oi the town were Colonel Mulligan’s famous
Irish. regiment from Chicago, and Colonel
Marshall’s cavalry, also fiom Illinois, seven
hundred strong. Their camp was on a beau
tiful hillside, commanding the country for
ecme distance around, in a few days they
will be well supplied with artillery, and unfor
lunate indeed will be the column of rebels
that makes the attack in that direction. So
eager were the men to go into action that in
conversation with them they were as anxious
to have a speedy battle vouchsafed to them as
if it was the greatest boon imaginable. At
the southwest of the town, at the fair grounds,
are stationed CoL McClnrg’s Home Guards, a
fine, able-bodied set ot men, who will, I
think, do their full duty when the
time comes. On a hill at the east of
the capital are encamped two regi
ments of lowa troops, while the Capitol
building itself is occupied by Col. Richard
son’s Home Guards. Boon alter Claib. Jack
son and his crew fled from the ba.UR they des
ecrated, the Union men set the in mat-pa of
the penitentiary to work, and soon had an
earthwork, three feet in height, thrown up
aronnd the building. Three cannon are plant •
ed here so as to command the principal ap
proaches. The basement rooms of the cipi
tol are at present used to confine prisoners
daily brought in from the country around. At
the time 1 passed I noticed fif teen of the gen
try peering through the iron gratings and
beggirg eagerly for something usually sup
posed to be capable of drowning sorrow.
From the apparently well-authenticated state
ments that were rife, I think the rebels are as
rapidly as possible drawing towards Jefferson,
and a battle will be likely to occur very soon,
perhaps before another week. All the bridges
between here and the Capital are guarded by
bodies of armed men, one company of CoL
Mulligan’s regiment being stationed at the
bridge over the Osage.
Last night the body of Gen. Lyon arrived
here, as you are already informed by tele
fiaph. and was at once taken to an underta
ers be embalmed. To
morrow it will be escorted with full military
boners from the residence of Gen. Fremont
to the cars. The ceremony will commence at
8 o’clock in the afternoon, and every exertion
will be made to do fitting honor to the illus
trious dead. The recent order of Ma
jor EcKinstiy, closing all the li
quor saloons, has been accompanied
with the happiest results, and the city is very
orderly and quiet. The proclamation ot the
Governor calling for volunteers, and hinting
at a draft has cansed a terrible panic among
the mild school of secessionists, and to-day it
is estimated five hundred left the city, having
pressing business in other States. It is
thought that only about half the number
called for will respond, and drafting frill prob
ably be resorted to. For the last day or two
troops have not arrived as fast as heretofore,
no new regiment having arrived to-day. The
barracks at the camping ground northwest
from the city are rapidly approaching com
pletion, and will soon be occupied. The gun
boats being built at Carondolet are so far
completed as to be ready for plonking, c.

THE FORT MONROE EXPEDITION,
The navel expedition from Fortress Monroe,
I am assured, will confine its operations- to
sinking hulks, costing tweuty-onejhousand
six hundred dollars, unless Gen. Butler ex
ceed his orders, as he sometimes does. The
military force on hoard the fleet is to take
care of the enemy if he attempt to interrupt
business; but with four thousand men some
thing else can be done, and Butler is the man
for any venture.

THE BATTLE AT CROSS LANES,
A Bloody Affldr.
Galltpolis, August 28.—The battle at Cross
Lanes, near Snnunersyille, on the 26ih Inst,
proved to be a bloody affair. The following
are all the particulars we have learned: The
7th Ohio Regiment, CoL Tyler, was surround
ed while at breakfast, and attacked an both
flanks and in front simultaneously. Oar men
immediately formed for battle and fought
bravely, while they saw but little chance of
success, the enemy being too powerful- CoL
Tyler sent forward to the baggage train, which
was coming np three miles distant, and had it
turned back towards Gauley, which point it
reached In safety. Companies B, C and I suf
fered most severely. They particularly
were in the hottest' of the fight, and
stood up to It bravely, and finally
fought their way through at fearful odds,
making dreadful slaughter in the enemy’s
ranks. The rebel force consisted of 3,000 in
fantry, 400 cavalry and 10 guns. The Fede
ral forces scattered after they had cut their
way through, but soon formed again and fired,
tut received no reply or pursuit from the en
emy. Our loss cannot be definitely ascer
tained, though not over 300 are missing out of
the 900 engaged.
The rebel loos is fearful. Lieut. CoL Creigh
ton captured the enemy’s colors and two

DIPLOMATIC COMPLICATIONS,
The position of Austria and Hungary was
daily t(.coming mere alarming. Tne Upper
House of the Hungarian Diet adopted by ac
clamation Deak’s address. The Emoeror of
Austria received the Presidents of both
Houses, on the 14th inst, and replied to the
address by a short speech in general terms.
The dissolution of the Diet was regarded as
almost certain, as it was reported the Cabinet
Council demanded it, and also that an Impe
rial manifesto to this effect would be address
ed to the different people of the Austrian Em
pire.
There was a vague report of a growing cool
ness between I ranee and Austria, bearing
ominous resemblance to that which preceded
the late war. Prince Metternich had taken
leave of the Emperor Napoleon, and the lat'.er
had gone to the Chalons Camp.
Another controversy had sprung up be
tween France and Switzerland, relative to the
arrest of a French subject on disputed Terri
tory.
There was a renewal of the troubles at War
saw, and affairs were threatening. An impor

of persons were wounded.

one thing at least: If Miss Cunningham has
not turned Mount Vernon into a secession

FROM FORTRESS MONHOE.
Trial of the Great Union Gnn.
[Correspondence of the New York Tribune.]
Fobtbebs Moneoe, j
Old Point CuaJort, Ang. 23,185 L j
Yesterday took place the first exDerimentil
fitii-g wi»b the great ana “ UaioiT.” It was
coLductcd by Lieut. Baylor of the Ordnance
Department, and was witnessed by Major
Generals Wool and Butler, and a concourse of
officers, soldiers and others. The carriage of
the gun was turned so as to throw the 'shot
into the bay, the design being solely to test
tie gun, which bad never before been fired
and to ascertain its range. Before going
further, It may be well to recapitulate in re
gard to the gun itself. Its weight is 52,000
pounds: extreme length, 16 feet; length of
bere, 13 feet 11 inches; diameter of bore, 12
h ches, rifled. It is mounted on on iron car
riage, placed cn a platform of solid masonry.
Like all rifled projectiles, the shot are conical,
the solid shot weighing 423 pounds, and the
shell 352 pounds, with a bursting charge of 45
pounds. The charge of powder used varies
according to circumstances, from 40 to 43
pounds. The powder used on this occasion—
and which no doubt will be uniformly used—
was the Rodman grain powder, the separate
grains of which vary from the size of a walnut
to a hen’s egg.
All things Being ready, the process of load
ing the gun was commenced. Sergeant Welch,
at the head of his black battalion of gunners,
had already cleared the decks, wheeled the
monster so that his sage was over the waters,
and arranged the platformer staging on which
the men could stand and be m> even with tho
muzzle. First, the swab, which two men in
sert, cleans the interior; then comes a man
with a red flannel bag, filled with powder, on
his shoulder; it is the cartridge, aad the ram
rod, worked by four men, sends it home.
Then comes the process of getting the shot to
its piece, amass cf metal that four men carry
with difficulty. It is first rolled into an iron cra
dle or wide strap, looped with a rope, through
wbieha piece of strong wood, several feet long,
is inserted. Thus slung the men tug the shot up
the steps ot the platform, some ten feet high,
to the mouth of the gun. Another life brings
it cn the level, audit is slid into the muzzle
and pushed to its place. The gun is then ele
vated by means of an iron bar, the gun belno
nicely balanced on its trunnions. The prim*
ing wire performs its office, the fuse is insert
ed, and the lanyard is attached. Then Lieut.
Baylor, who, though everything has;beea done
under his minutest inspeciionhss moved about
more like a modest spectator than the respon
sible director, gives warning that the gun has
never before been fired, and moves a short dis
tance to the rear, in which he is imitated by
the others. The men who are to calculate
the flight ofthe shot ore at their table. The
flag is up. The man with the lanyard retires
to its extreme length. “Ready,” says Ser
geant' Welch. Lient. Baylor gives the word :
’•Ready—fire!” A terrific crash,a sheet of
flame, and the trembling of the earth follow.
At the same time there is a screech and a
scream caused by the shot, a black mass which
you can see, in its flight, yelling like aa infu
riated devil let loose from the infernal regions.
We count the seconds, and watch to see the
shot strike, A column of water away off on
the bay shoots up to the height of a ship’s
mast. The elevation of the gun was but ten
degrees, little more than blank shot, conse
quently the distance was not great, say two
miles, the time of fbght fifteen seconds. The
Umble engine, the echoes of whose thunders
havescaicely yet died away over the waters
and along the shore, whose breath, a dark eul
phurious cloud, floats before the wind—the
thing which we would naturally associate
with the idea of a glowing fiery monster, the
tmbodimentofallihe fanes, is next the ob
ject of attention. It is as passive as anything
can be. The eergeant pats familiarly its mas
sive tnscoth breect, tbe smoke carls slowly
from the mouth of tue chamber from which
the 420 pound shot has just been vomited, and
for the Instant it is .difficult to reconcile the
ciash, the flsme, the trembling earth and the
screecb, with the thing that neither trembles
nor glows nor makes other sign of Its truly
and almost supernatural endowment.
The next lime, a shell is fired, at the same
range, but it fails to explode. And here let
me remark that both shot and shell seemed
to be not the thing for the gun. The sott
metal with which they were coated stripped
and flew in all directions when only a few
hundred feet from the gun, so that one might
mistake the pieces for a charge of grapafrom
ahowiizer. The idea of tilling the grooves
and thereby obtaining a rotary motion must
have been but impeneclly realized.
The gun was again loaded with a solid shot,
and elevated twenty-eight degrees. This and
the next shot, which was at the same eleva
tion, were very fine feature* of the experi
ment. As yon watched the progress of tho
shot, which in its circuit attained an eleva
tion probably of not less than 800 or 1,000
feet, you might easily conceive yourself that it
was a wild, screaming, roaring monster, dash
ing through the skies, mad at the sun, or an
affrighted spirit from the bowels of the earth
seeking safety in the clouds. The range was
about three and a half miles; the time thirty
seconds.
' Two shells with percussion fuse were then
hied into a sand bank not more than 25 feet
ficn the gun. The result gave some idea of
what the gun would do against sand batteries.
The sand was thrown in every direction, and
the experiment seemed to prove that the shell
accurately fired would undermine and destroy
a 6arid battery quite as rapidly as a battalion
of men with shovels. The shell burst into a
great number of pieces, the parts found weigh
ing but a few pounds.
The following is an analysis of the firing,
for which we are indebted to Lieut Baylor.
It will be read with interest, not less by the
public who have heard so much of the Big
Gun, than by those who watch such experi
ments with a professional interest:

[Washington Correspondence N. Y. Tribune.]
Letters from East Tennessee speak of a
growing rebel force at Camp Boone, near
Clarksville, the headquarters of the Knights
of the Golden Circle. The plan of the Knights
is, alter they have got 10,0C0 men, to lay the
country waste from Cumberland Gap through
East Tennessee and Kentucky to the Ohio
river, and along that to Pennsylvania, the
whole force not moving together, bat divided
into email marauding parties, which will avoid
bodies of Union troops, and confine their op
erations. to the helpless and unarmed. It is
hoped that before the expected 10,000 are
gathered, Gen. Anderson, with loyal Kentnck
jats and Tennessee refugees, will visit Camp
Boone. .
