Marcy, Day A Cos., William Battersby A Cos jy Re-opening off Railroad Coin indication .in Florida. [From the Florida Union.) On Thursday last week the first through train from Lake City arrived at Jacksonville. This places us in direct connection with the interior of the State for a distance of two hundred miles, with branch roads running in each direction.. The benefits derived from re-opening this route are already manifest in the shipments of cotton, sugar, syrup and other products of the country which are daily arriving at this pl&ce, and the ship ments of goods of all descriptions, which are daily being sent into the interior in exchange. The railroad from Jacksonville extends to. Lake City. At Baldwin it crosses the Flori da Railroad, which at present is in running order to Cedar Keys only. At Lake City the Pensacola and Georgia railroad com mences and extends to Quincy, about two liuudred miles from Jacksonville. At Live Oak station some twenty-five miles from Lake City a Branch road extends to the Sa vannah and Gulf road. Thirty miles from Tallahassee is a road eight miles in length leading to Monticello. At Tallahassee a branch road twenty miles in length runs to St. Marks. • Under the present arrangement a traveller leaves Jacksonville at two or three P. M. on Monday and arrived at Lake City the same evening at seven or eight; there he is com pelled to lay over till four the foUowing morning then a train leaves for Tallahassee and Quincy, making connections with the branen roads. Thus a traveller is not only subject' to a vexatious delay, but does not even gain advantage of a full night’s rest. It is stated that tbe condition and interests of the Pensacola and Georgia road will not permit night travel. There are important stations on the road, and connections which render it essential that trains should pass over it iu the day time. The expense, business, con dition of road and rolling stock at present warrant only tri-weekly trips. With all these connections and facts before os we see no reason why passengers should not be trans ported to their places of destination without detention. The fact that daily trips are at present impracticable renders such an ar rangement more important. The condition of tne road according to engineers and oth ers supposed to be capable of judging, will allow a speed of twenty-five miles per hour, exclusive of stops, except a few miles be tween Jacksonville and Baldwin. We will suppose a train leaves Jackson ville at sa. m. Monday. Allowing for the extra care in running over the newly and un perfectly laid track, two hours is certainly sufficient to reach Baldwin. A train could here be in readiness to start for Cedar Keys, with little detention by transfer of passen gers. Tbe remainder of the distance to Lake City is a trifle over forty miles. There are, we believe, five stopping plates. Allowing fifteen minutes stoppage at Baldwin and ten minutes each at other stations,■ would make 10 a. m. the hour of arrival at Lake City.— Allowing half an hour for changes at that station, the train would leave at half past ten. For Lake City to Tallahassee is one hundred and five'miles. At twenty-five miles per hour this would be accomplished in a trifle over lour hours. There are ten stop ping places between the places. Allowing thirty minutes stop at Madison station to dine, 15 minutes at the junction of the Mon ticcllo road, and 10 minutes at the remaining eight stations, together with other delays, we will say two hours and a half, is thus consumed; added to four hours, make six hours and a half, making the hour of ar rival at Tallahassee five P. M. Allowing the usual stoppage (one hour) at Tallahassee and ten minutes at each of the three way stations, the train would reach Quincy at seven P. M. Thus the entire journey would be accomp lished without compelling travellers to start or arrive at unreasonable hours, any vexa tious delays, or night travel. The return trip on the following day could be made on the same time-table. This being the direct line, passing through aud connecting the most important points in the State, the branch railroads, of course, make their time table conform to it. The only one of any considerable length is the Cedar Keys road. The trains could leave Baldwin soon after the arrival of the train from Jacksonville, reaching Cedar Keys the 9ame day ; return ing could leave Cedar Keys in time to con nect at Baldwin with the train returning to Jacksonville. The remaining branch roads would have to vary but little from their pre sent running time. This arrangement allows ten minutes stop at every station, (many of which do not require two minutes detention) ample time at all points to make changes, etc., where necessary. The City op Cologne —This ancient Ger man town which is now holding an interba tional exhibition is growing with almost the rapidity of an American town. Within the last twenty years it has more than doubled the number of its Inhabitants. From tbe 66,000 it hsd in 1844, it has, Within less than a generation, grown to be a city of something like 140,000 in 1865. Trade it flourishing, and not a trace left of the 12,000 meodiosots who, under the ecclesiastical government, subverted as late as sixty yur? ago, used to infest the streets in a professional wav and plant themselves at fixed »ation9.

PRICE. 5 CENTS The He*ry Ordnance of the United States. In the report of the committee on the con duct of the war occurs the following with regard to the heavy guns in our service: Under tbe head of “heavy ordnance” your committee would call attention to three classes esof guus: First, those made entirely of cast iron; secondi, those made of cast iron and banded with wrought iron; and third, those made entirely of wrought iron. Os the first class are the guns generally known as the Dahlgreen gun and the Rodman gun. Os the second class is the Parrott gun. Os the third class is the Ames gun. There is still another gun known as the YViard steel gun, but as ii docs not come, so far as you committee have been able to leara, under the head ot “heavy ordnance,” they have not deemed it necessary to devote much atten tion to it. THE RODMAN GUN. The Rodman gun, while having to some extent its peculiarity of form, is principal ly distinguished by the mode adopted in its manufacture, which is an invention of Ma jor T. J. Rodman. The casting is made around a hollow core, or core-barrel, as it is termed, into which is introduced a stream of cold water, the outside of the casting being kept heated until the cooling from the inte rior reaches the outer portion of the mass of metal forming the casting. This mode of manulacture, it is claimed, insures two im portant advantages over the old method of casting the gun solid and then boaring it out. The strain upon the metal produced by cool ing in large masses is reversed, rendering the gun less liable to burst from the explo sion of the powder in it; and a much greater degree of hardness is given to the interior surface, rendering the gun less liabltf'to abra sion in the bore by the passage of the pro jectile along it, aud the action of the gases of the powder upon the metal. It is gener ally held by the witnesses that no effective gun of large caliber can be made of cast iron except upon the Rodman principle, or the principle of cooling from the interior. THE DALGREN OIN. i The Dablgren gun is the invention of'Rear Admiral John A. Dablgren, and is distin guished bv its exterior form. The plan adopted to avoid tbe strain consequent upon cooliug a solid casting of large size from the outside is to make the castings considerably larger than otherwise would be needed to produce a gun of the required size, anneal it alter cooling, then turn tt down to the prop er size and lorm. But the Dahlgren guns of the largest caliber are now being manufac tured upon the Rodman principle. These two guns are the only two guns of large caliber, made entirely of cast-iron, which are now used in the service. They are generally smooth-bore guns, but few, if any of the larger caliber being rifled. THE PARROTT GUN The rifled gun of large calibre, employed almost wholly in Ihe army and naval service, is the gun invented by Robert C. Parrott. It is composed of a cast-iron cylinder, with a wrought iron jacket or band, shrunk upon the breech of the gun, in order to strengthen k about the scat of discharge. The cast-iron cylinder of this gun was formerly cast solid, and then bored out: but latterly those of the largest calibre are cast upon the Rodman principle. The Parrott rifled-gun of large calibre is used upon our naval vessels, being able to throw projectiles with greater accu racy and to a greater distance than the smooth bore guns. At the time of their in troduction into the service they were un doubtedly tbe beßt rifled guns of large calibre which the government could obtain. But the bursting of the Parrott guns of large cal ibre, together with the bursting ot some of the cast-iron guns of large calibre, upon tbe vessels engaged in operations against Fort Fisher, has tended to weaken confidence in tbe durability of these guns. THE AMES GUN. The committee refer, somewhat at length, to a wrought-iron gun, which to them seems to possess those quali ties of strength, durability, and safety, which are so very desirable. It is the invention of Horatio Ames. But few of these guns havo yet been manufactured, yet they have suc cessfully withstood every test that has been applied to them. Upon the 21st ot August last, at the request of the inventor, the President ordered the appointment of a board to test a gun #f seven-inch caliber manufac tured by Mr. Ames. As the result of the examination the board report: “It is the unanimous opinion of the board that Ames’ wrought-iron guns possess to a degree never before equalled by Any cannon of equal weight offered to our ser vice, the essential qualities of lateral and longitudinal strength, and great powers of endurance under heavy charges ; that they are not liable to burst explosively and with out warning, even when fired nnder very high charges ; and that they are well adapt ed to the wants of the service generally, but especially whenever long fqpges anu high Velocities are required. —Abraham Stemberger, a citizen of Kos ciusko, Tenn., who bad fled from .home at the beginning of the war, and been residing dt Memphis, was on the wav- to his borne when he was murdered on tbe highway. He had considerable money on bis person, which was taken, and roost of bis clothing. He leaves a wife and four children, who reside in Philadelphia. A cat in Titusville, Pa., has given birth to a litter of four kittens, which are joined to gether at tbe back and sides in such a man ner that when two of them are walking tbe other two are on their baqks, with their feet sticking up. —The grape rot is attracting tbe attention of Cincinnati horticulturists.
