The Lat of 'finA ilieeallcd CuuutiV jot of the Detroit f MUwtule It. 11. Suit. il'7i'm A". Jir Detroit City-Fort Wayne Dencription of 7o Shot How Jlmle, tc Detroit, Mich., Aug. 19, 1861. Tho land in and for which tho great bard of Britain devoted tho purest and noblest energies of his brilliant genius could not, methinks, surpass in cultivated grandeur and naturul scenery that which lies on this lino of road between Holly and Detroit. Not by tho stately Shannon, tho wide and winding Rhino, the rushing Rhone, the classic Arno or tho islanded and wooded Mississippi, can you find land in a highor or more complete state of cul tivation than in this county of Oakland. Alternating hills, verdant plains, and seemingly enchanted lakes, cozily nestled away 'mongst the dreary shadows of tho tall oaks, far from tho troublous abodes of man, meet your gazo and rivot your attention at ovcry strido of tho 44 iron horse." Tho 44 old settlers " should have recorded their intelligent appreciation of tho fino arts of naturo by appropriately denominating it Lake instead of Oakland County. Healthy villages and an aspir ing if not notorious city dot the road from Holly hero. Davisburg, Springfield, Clarkston, Drayton Plnins, Pontiac, Bir mingham and Royal Oak, greet you in turn. Pontiac has crown into uncnviablo notoriety for some imaginary evils that arc said to " bo at homo " in it. : If a wag or termagant wish you in that placo which, accordiug to theological ge ography, is paved with firo and brimslono, they'll tell you "go to Pontiac." The peoplo, withal, look human; and had you i been fated to come through it in your ( hey-day of life and leisure, and had seen as many beautiful specimens of 6ugar sex flock round the train as I, you would bo led to inwardly ejaculate that pious in junction, 44 Deliver me from temptation 1" That part of tho depot reserved for the cars is not as large as those of other roads of loss business, capital and pretensions. Tho offices, however, aro larger, more airy and commodious than thoso of tho Mich igan Southern, Michigan Central or Grand Trunk Roads. The Superintendent of tho road, I havo been endeavoring to describe to you William K. Muir is yet young in years, though ripo in manhood and experience. Ho is about thirty-two years of ago, of medium height, strong and athletic in ap pearance, high, broad, prominent forehead and massive brain. Born in Scotland the descendant, no doubt, of those liberty loving Covenantors who scorned tho tyr anny of England as they haled and des pised tho then debilitating mysticisms of Romo ho inherits many of their good and pious qualities. He did not, like others that I wot of, blunder into the high and honored position he now holds and so creditably and satisfactorily fills. Born amongst,not abovo nor below, the people, his sympathies are honorably and charit ably cntertwincd with them, and tho wid ow or orphan, the ncody or destitute, who have ever appcalod to him for relief, can attest to tho Lonevolcnt munificenco of his naturo. Ho is a strict business man, nov- er departing from his lino of duty to dab bio in the dull materialism of politics. An experience of sixteen years, hero and in his native laml, lends a senso of socu rity to his business movements and trans actions. Liko all thoughtful, intellectual and meditative men, ho looks oldor than his years, his countcnanco and features indicating rays of sunny sadness ever dart ing through his. mind. At a lime when not only journalists are "jours" but quack doctors, tract venders, bogus preach ers, members of Congress, and feather-bed 44 army officers " aro dead-heading their way through the country, you can imag ine his surprise on learning that I, who have written so much relative to his road in the Milwaukee Sentinel, should pay full faro the whole way. It is a strange and unusual 6i'ght in this age of trickery and 44 smartness," to meet one who bold ly and defiantly fronts and pays his way through the world. Detroit is, like most largo cities, rival ing yours in the virtues aud vices to which mankind in common is heir to. It has threo good daily newspapers to puri fy its moral and political Atmosphore tho Free Press, (dein.) edited by II. N. Walker; tho Advertiser, (rep.) Joseph Warren, editor; and the Evening Trib un e, conducted by II. Barnes. I will not institute a comparison between these gentlemen, lost I may unintentionally daub that which I would desiro to paint. Fort Wayne, whero aro now stationed about eight hundred recruits, is throe miles from tho City Hall, - on tho right bank of, aud overlooking, thc.Dctroit riv er. Thero aro no arms nor munitions of war in it now, save thoso in the hands of tho recruits and a worn out six pounder mounlod on an old fiold carriago, which serves to fire salutes and occasionally startle tho neighborhood. There is little dissimilarity between it and a bastionod fort or field redoubt, only that it possess es ro-outoring angles, and is of polygonal form. It is not open in tho rear, being intendod to resist au attack on all bides. In these military times, your readers will, I trust, pardon mo for partly explaining to them tho component parU and torms by which designated in a work liko this. Insido tho fort are tho barracks, a sol id structure of brick and iron, capablo of affording quarters for two thousand sol diers. Tho roof and chimneys only aro visible from the outsido, tho parapet and outer mound of tho fort intervening. Tho magazine is about fifty foot from the bar racks, is composed of rough-hewn stone, with a wall soven feet thick, (it is said,) tho outer door being iron. Anticipating, some day cr other, an attack from the river or Canada shore, (which is loss than a mile from it on tho Southern or oppo site side,) the Superintendent had tho magazino out into, and raised to the level of tho banquette. Plates of sheet iron could securely mantle it against explosives in caso of war. The component parts of all works, or entrenchments, are the parapet, which is the mass of earth thrown up to cover tho troops; and tho ditch, from which the earth is taken to form tho parapet. That part of tho parapet toward the cn omy is called tho exterior 6lope; it re ceives generally, as in this work, the samo slope tho earth takes when thrown up; the lop of the parapet is called tho tupe- rior slope; tho part which tho occupants lean against when firing is tho interior slope. Tho banquette is the part on which the men stand to firo over tho parapet; the top of tho banquette is called tho tread, and the inclined piano to tho rear is named tho slope of tho banqvette. ,Tho crest is a term given to thoso points whero a salient anglo is formed, and tho foot is the term applied to where a ro-entering anclo is formed. Tho bcrm is tho snnco between tho parapet and ditch, intended to prevent the earth from giving way ; tho scarp is tho slope of the ditch next the parapet; tho opposite sido is called tho counterscarp. Outsido tlio fort, and fronting tho river, is what seems to bo a curtain, from behind which tho enemy could bo much annoyed. It was, perhaps, intended for the firing of hot-shot, as tho furnaco is imraodiatoly in rear of it. Tho furnace, however, could bo easily got rid of, as it is very much exposed to the firo of tho enemy. Tho main and outer works aro connected by two Inrgo ontrnn cos, or 44 sally-ports," which aro guarded by two heavy doors. The angular parts towards tho enemy aro called salients; thoso towards tho occupants tho re enter ings. By this flanked arrangement tho enemy's flank is reached by the firo of the retired parts when ho is entering on tho salients. Onus in salients are said to bo 44 in barbette," that is, they are intendod to fire over tho lop of the parapet. Those guns rest on an iron pivot, and aro, when mounted, made to revolvo on a 44 train " or band of thin rail laid ou cut stone, run ning semi-circulnrly all round, enabling the gunners to deliver and oblique as well as direct fire. Immediately below this, separated by a small mound or ramp, aro embrasures for guns calculated to swocp the trench on either sido. A gun is said to be "in embrasure " when it fires thro' an opening cut through the parapet. This fort, when in good repair and well mounted, could be held by ono thousand good and true men against ten limes the number of liko. material. ' This furnaco can hold at onco and heat about fifty balls. A person who has seen "puddled" or Railroad iron hcalod in a rolling mill, can easily comprehend tho manner of heating. To commence with, it requires ono hour and fifteen minutes to heat a ball; after tho furnaco is onco heated, a twenty-four pound shot is bro't to a rod heat iti . (weDty-fivo minutes argcr balls requiring their proportionate fnw moments more. . Catridges for hot shot aro generally double bagged, one within tho other, to prevent accident from loose powder. When loading, the muz tlo of the gun is elevated sufficient to al low the bnll to roll in off tho fire 6hovcl ; a dry wad follows tho catridges when an other wad of wot hay, or clay, is insert ed between it and tho dripping ball. No danger is apprehended' by experienced gunners by explosion; the ball could bo left to cool with safety, tho powder alono being injured by tho smoke from tho wet wad. The penetration of hot and cold shot into wood is equal undor the samo circumstances. A red hot shot retains sufficient heat to set fire to a vessel after haviug struck the water sovoral times. Smaller charges of powder aro usod with hot than cold shot, for its intent could not bo accomplished did it penetrato deep er than from eicjht to twelve itichos. Onco more, and for tho last time, adieu. Tuos. C. Fitzoiddon. Seeino the Sunns. In Boston, ono lay last week, while a military man was nnssin?? nn tho steps leading lo the Stato llouso, ho observed a very tat lemalo of middle ago, accompanied by two chil dren, evidently from tho rural districts, climbing up to tho Stato Capitol. The woman, who was very puny and short ot wind, approached a short, thick, but ex ceedingly sunny-faced gentleman, who seemed to bo hurrying up tho steps, and inquired 44 if be could toll her whero she could see tho Governor?" Tho sunny- faced littlo man replied in an exceedingly courtoous manner, 44 1 am the Governor, madam, what is your business I "Noth ing, particular, sir, only I havo brought my children to the city to see tho sights, and have been to the aquarial gardens, on tho common to seo the soldiers, lo tho menagerie, and havo alstfsccn tho hippo potamus, and thought wo would liko now to take a look at the Governor." 44 Well, madam, iudulge your curiosity as quickly as possible, as I am in haste, ' pleasantly replied His Excellency. "Comohcro you children, and seo tho Governor," shouted tho woman to her youngsters, and after a good long stare, tho female and her chil- dred made a low courtesy, with a " thank you, sir," nnd left, evidently satisfied that they had seen all tho sights in lioston. Be Gentle. Bo ever gcnllo wilh the children God has given you; watch over them constantly ; reprove them earnostly, but not in anger. In tho forcible lan guago of tho Scripture, 44 Bo uot bitter against them. 44 1 cs, they aro good boys," I onco heard a kind father say; 44 1 talk to them very much, but do not like to beat my children tho world will beat them." It was a beautiful thought though not elegantly expressed, ics, there is not ono child in the circle round tlio inula, healthful and hannv as thov look now, on whoso head, if long spared, tho storm will not beat. Adversity may wither them, sickness may frown on them, but amid all let memory carry them back to a home whero tho law of kindness reigned, where the mother's reproving eye was moistened with a tear, and tho lath cr frowned 44 more in sorrow than in an gcr." SST Tarson Green, nn American preacher in tho habit of sometimes draw mg upon a box of sermons bequeathed him by ins lather, who was also a minis ter, upon ono occasion cot hold of a ser mon preached to tho Stato prison con victs. It opened well, nnd the congrega tion were oocoming dooply interested, when all at once tho parson surprised them with the information, that, 44 had it not been for the clemency of the Gover nor, every one of them would have boon hun long ago."

Our readers may have observed recent ly, among our maratimo extracts, tho copy of the contents of a slip of paper found in a bottlo some weeks ago, on the west ern coast of Ulst, in tho Hebridges nnd forwarded to us by our agent at btorno way. Tho paper in quostion, apparently the leaf of a' pocket-book, used in ihe hurry of tho moment, was . covered on both sides wilh pencil marks from which the following was with ililhculty ueci phcrod : 1 "On Board tho Pacific, Vvoo to N. York. Ship going down. (Great) con fusion on board. Iceborgs around us on. every sido. I kuow I can not escape. . I wruo mo causo oi our joss umi hivum may not be in suspense. Tho finder of this will pleaso get it published. " WM. UKAUAM. , If wo nre right in our conjocture, tho ship here named is tho Pacific, ono of tho Collins' steamers, which vessel loft Liver pool on January 23, 1850, three days bo fore tho Persia, and has not sinco been heard of; and this slip of paper, threo inches by two, is probably tho only rec ord of the fate of that missing ship. Tho writer was evidently some person accus tomed lo the perils of the sea, for it is difficult to understand how any person whoso nerves nau not, uccn naruoncu uy tho presence of frequent and appalling dangers, could havo written with such manifest coolness in tho immediate pres ence of death. Tho self-possession at onco negatives tho idea that tho person who could exhibit it in a momontof such supremo peril could possibly havo mistak en the name of the vessel whoso loss ho has recorded. Then, again, wo find from tho records of tho lost Pacific that a per son named Graham sailed in her from Liverpool on her ill fated voyage, and in air probability was on board at'iho time sho was lost with all hands. This is tho strongest point in tho entire chain of evi dence, for it connects the writer of tho memorandum directly with tho lost ship, and the ship with tho writer. Lnslly, sinco tho memorandum has been given to tho world now somo weeks wo havo had no intimation that any ship named Pa cific, sailing from Liverpool recently, has been lost or even missing.

Old Squire's II was a very successful and snbstantinl farmer in an interior town of Massachusetts, and a moro amazing cater never lived in any town anywhere. And especially much did ho cat when fresh pork was to bo his nourishment. Well, at a certain timo one of his hogs had been killed. Tho next morning there was fresh pork for breakfast, and the old man ate most wondrously. In the courso of the forenoon ho ato his lunchcou, con sisting of bread and butter, mince-pie and chcoso. At noon his dinner consisted of fresh pork, pickles, mince-pio, and the usual accompaniments. His afternoon luncheon was like that of tho forenoon. When ho came home lo supper his favor ite dish had not been prepared as part of that meal. The old man fretted and scolded till fresh pork was added to tho substantial. Ho ato voraciously as usual. In the evening ho toasted somo cheese, buttered and ato it. Just before going to bed, ho roasted a couple of apples and cat them. In tho night he was taken wilh a severe colic. Tho doctor was with him all night, and nearly wrought a mir acle in the old man's life. Tho next day Bolles W , ono of his neighWs, went in to condole with the 44 Old Squire." 44 Bolles," said tho old worthy, 44 1 liko to havo died last night. I'll novcr cat another roast apuJo as long as I live. I never did love them very well, nnd last night I ate only two, and they nearly killed me."' . ; ,' , i ' Bolles never told this story without laughing.
