a name and u position abroad, cither *hy extra

horn. •’ W,. -V- - •;
There is one late charge at Paris, and a man
who has been secretary ofLejration at several of
the courts in Europe. We allude to Henry S.
Snndford. Independent in fortune—an edu-
' cated gentleman—his whole life devoted to
American interests, with an experience beyond
compare with any other—with ability to bo of
great use in Enrope. his services are dispensed
with by the Pierce Cabinet, and he-is allowed
to remain idle, while our ignorant American
foreign asses are making fools of themselves in
Europe. There is one consolation in this state
of things: It is, that tho people are uniting as
one man. to toss his administration and all con
nected with it, to the bottomless pit. The soon-,
er the betterynnd with Americans in power, the
wretched diplomatic appointments will all ho
rescinded, and new men will be sent ont It is a
great, pity that the election for President could
not come off to-morrow. We should like to see
the fun, and tho result would astound weak
minds.-—Ak Y. Pick. ' Nr S v

On Alabama street in this city, is located one
of the oldest “drinking shops” in the place. It
is owned and kept by an Irishman, a pretty clev-
• r fellow, and one of our oldest citizens. That
“.-hop" is the reliving point for all Mao's coun
trymen about here, who are fond of taking a
“«ve dhrop." A few evenings since, the jolly:
comnany dispersed about dark, and the proprie-
torclosed b ; - front door, and went home to sup- i
per. A light wns left burning in the "saloon,’’ j
nnd the shutters of the windows were left open. '
fb "n after the proprietor had disappeared, two i
, neighbors discovered » man (an Irishman) j

for and wide by every swelling blast, tho very
abundance of light, knowledge and truth, which
they spror d over the length and breadth of tho
land, ha6 induced a refinement of taste, a seve
rity in criticism, and a demand for reading mat
ter of a substantial and sterling character.
These wnnts which Periodicals have been in-
strnmcntal in creating, are now being reflected
back on them3 Ives, and thoy, if they would
stand on their own intrinsic merits, must bo so
conducted as to respond to, and satisfy those
wants. To say nothing of the requirements of
an editor, to cr-tcr to the capricesand prejudices
of all tho diversified classos of people—of tho
different tastes ho is expected to gratify, and
the many responsibilities ho is required to per

satisfy the expectations of people in a more
rudeand no eh]jgii tone d>.
This is emphatically nn ago of progress, and
the Press, which ought to bo able to lead and
gnidQ public opinion, must bo on tho alert, evon
to keep paco with it" Tho restlessness of the
American mind is biit an exponent of its rapid
development And tho 'many new i»m» and inno

and legitimr.t-j channel.
In view oT nsv own incapacity for aiding in
tho achievement of such an end, and of the
many and rcspnsible du tic:-lying be! ore me, lean
only assure you, that whatever is in ray power
shall bo contributed to sustain too " Courier”
in Ihe high standing it already occnpi s. My
accession to the editorial department will, by
no means, bo incompatible with my own polit- States
ical views, and from an intimate acquaintance ! time :
of eight years with Mr. Coburn, the present in
cumbent, I have every assurance that our opin
ion? in regard to American policy, are ono and
identical. p- ■ !■ r-C&}

Ho leaves many warm and zealous friends be

Deaths by Violence.—We have just re
ceived the painful intelligence of the death of
two men in Fannin county, by tho hand of Mr.
onter. • ■’••jK '
We understand tho facts to be as follows :
Three men came to Mr. Gunter’s house In search
ofa Mr. Smith, nnd not finding him, went on
their way; but returned in a short time and
commenced throwing down Gunter's fence ’in
order to ride 1n.> Gunter came out of hi? still
house, which was inside the inclosure and for
bid them throwing it down, but they persisted
and a fightqnsned. and the three being nn ov*r-
mateh for Gnnter, ho retired into toe -tillhouse.
One of the men whofeo name was Mill -r. and
who had fired a (revolvor) pistol during tho
rencounter now rode up to the door of tho still
house and fired at Gnnter in at the door. Gun
ter then shot Miller with a rifle, who fdl from
his horse and immediately expired. Another
one| of-tho combatants by the name of Nash
seized tbe pistol which had fell from Miller’s
hands and fired at Gnnter in at the door, where
upon Gunter stepped out with anothrri!!. see
ing which Nosh turned and 'fled, and Gunter I
■
pact appeared rather moje favorable. But the
shock to bis system was too much, anddeath
suprevened about forty hours after ^jp'acei-
dent . -
The Lancaster Gtrs.—The Montreal G»-
acUo of Dec. i>, furnishes & particular account
of this new arm of which a» much mention to
mado in too reports of battles to the Crimea,
and from which such astonishing effects bar*
been predicted. The article In the Gazette to a
controversial one, but we extract from it th*
following particulars. * *
The Lancaster gun has the appearance of ant
ordinary large cannon, but its peculiarity eea*
sists in the bore, which is elliptical in shape,
and slightly spiral. Tbe month instead of be
ing circular, is elongated like an egg. From
the mouth the boro winds gradually tc
breech, in such a degree aa to make a quar
of a circle—that is the projectile if vcrtics
inserted r t the mouth, will lie at tbe breech at
right, angles with its first position—that is hor
izontally. The projectile shell or shot is of tho
shape of tho mouth of the gnn, and flattened.
When toe gun os fired the hall acquires a rotary
motion, and must mako one revolution every
four lengths of the gun.
This is tho effect for which small arms are ri
fled. It is impossible to cast balls whiohareper-
fectly round. Tbe slightest inequality of the
hall necessarily deflects it from the true range.
Tn sinnll arms tho barrels are rifled so that a
rotary motion is given to the bullet, which
counteracts the tendency to fly off in any uCe
direction, nnd scuds it straight forward. This
plan may answer for small arms and leaden bul
lets, but it is impracticable to groove cannon
for iron balls. The Lancaster gnn is therefor#
a substitute for rifled cannon, throwing an el
liptical shot ont of an elliptical bore, to which
a rotary motion has been given by a spiral curv#
in the gun.
Several of these gun3 have burst, and there to
some apprehensions expressed of their liability
to 'mr*l in cr»n--<yi<m>-o of ton incrnnii*d resis
tance within the bore to the iron ball. They
are used at long ranges, and they are described
a* wonderfully true to their aim.

in<r letter from Mr. William Smith O’Brien

ont in the Afottrass Manufactory of Mr. D. A.
Cole, on Market street The combustible nature
of tho contents of the manufactory, caused the
fiame3 in a few moments to present an appalling
aspect. After having nearly burnt up the Mat

Manufactory of Messrs. McKay & Karr, on the

Hodges, on the North, both aojoining. the for

of its roof. By the most, heroic effort? the fire
men prevented the fire from extepdins to the

Tho contents of Messrs. McKay & Karr's

individual loss wi'l be light. They will suffer

Mr. Editor—I was pleased to find in your
last paper, a notice of Mr, Shoibley’s School.
Allow one deeply interested as a Parent in this
school, to say a few words in addition to toe
favorable notice already published. As a Fath
er Having several children to educate, I have
studied hpw I might, with the greatest facility,
ascertain the abibity of a Teacher to do my
children good without waiting till the end of
a Term or year to judge by their measure of at
tainment. As yet I have fixed upon hut one
sign that has not disappointed me; by this
criterion I can form a tolerably just, estimate
during the first week or two after the school
opens. When my children do not wish to retire
to rest at night until they have learned their
lessons for the next day—or when they will rise
quite early in the morning to review the pre
vious night’s studies; I am satisfied that their
teacher will do. He has secured their respect,
and infused into them a spirit of emulation.
Such a teacher possesses a gift which is more
potent for good to tho young, than Till the eru-
dition aUd ’experience of Mr. Shcxbley, or any
other man, without this talent; Pmean, the
art of imparting what ho knows. This is too
magic key which unlocks his own stores of
knowledge and the avenues to the minds of all
his scholars. If two yeareof close observation,
will greatly gratify ono who is in earnest to
judge in such a case, Imay bepermittod to say,
that this art is possessed nnd exercised by Mr.
Sheibly in an eminent degree. Wero I to say
all which a just estimation of this gentleman’
system as a teacher or ability ns a scholar would i
prompt; soma persons might conceive this to
be a mere complimentary card. I will there
fore oulyremark that I am much interested ns a
Parent in Mr. Sheibly’s remaining among us;
thfp ho ought not to he ejzpec’ed todo unless ho
is well sustained ; tind ns ho is often receiving
advantageous propopositions to leavo us, my
hearty desire is that ho may always have, as
long os ho desires to remain, as good a school
as he dould get nnywhero else. M

THE KNOW-NOTHING MOVEMENT.
The present movement is duo to a deeper.
yoml expression the sentiment which has indu
ced a large portion of the Iri?h nation to evince
anxiety for 137 return: and I feel deeply grate
ful for the sympathy which has been exhibited
in tbe United States, the British colonies and
elsewhere, toalft? the TriAi political exiles; but
it does not seem tome to be consistent with the
dignity of tn:' country to solicit foreign inter
vention on our behalf.
For my own part, I am not conscious that I
have done anything which disentitles me from
spending the remainder of my life in Ir«l— V
and, which country is not ODly the home of **
affections, but also the nat ral sphere, of my
duties : aud I am convinced that sound policy
as well as genorous feeling dictates tbe promul
gation by the British Government ofa complete
and general amnesty, with regard to the proced-
dings of nil those who were compromised in toe
insurrectionary movement of the year 1348.
I now find myself compelled to remove my
family, in the middle of winter, from their cher
ished home in Ireland, and-to seek for them a
domicil sn some foreign country. Such a lot,
though preferable to imprisonment in Van I>ie-
inti-.i’s Land, naturally gives occasion for much
.-oiictade; but I would rather remain forever
aa exile from the land which I love than return
thither under restrictors incompatible with :my
persona- honor, or with tue rights and duties of
an Irish gentleman.

to foreigners as such have had much to do with

that this element, foreign in its origin, ignorant
and irresponsible in its character, and secret
in its operation, has long, been courted by po
litical parties, and has more than once decided
the policy and toe career of tbe country at

at. a time when the old parties have lost their
hold npon the confidence'of.the people, when
the issues that havo divided them have been
decided or have died out, when their machine
ry of intrigue, their shuffling evasions, the dodges
the chicanery, and the deception of the leaders
here excited universal disgust, and have crea
ted a general readiness in the puhlio mind for
any new organization that shall promise to
