The Monster Gun at the Mersey Steel
and Iron Company’s Works.
•Phis marvelous piece of ordinance, the greatest
wonder in weapons of modern warfare, is progres
sing rapidly to completion. Some idea of the vast
ness of this gun may be gathered from the following
particulars of its dimensions: when finished the bar
rel will be 15 feet long; it will be 27 inches in diam
eter at the muzzle, or 84 3-4 inches in circumference;
and 44 inches in diameter at the breech, or 188 I*4
inches in circumference. The bore will be 13 feet G
inches long, and 13 inches in diameter. When com
pleted itis estimated it will have cost the company
£O,OOO in material alone. The gun is expected to
be ready in about six weeks, and, with tho trunnions
complete, will weigh something over 24 tuns. —
When finished, it will be drawn through the town
by 20 of the company’s fine horses, and will ulti
mately be taken to Waterloo to be tested. The
charge will be over 100 lbs of gunpowder, with one
•of the shots of 302 lbs.

Crime iu New Orleans.
Thousands of persons are said by the press of that
city to live by pillage only. The number of persons
now awaiting trial before the Criminal Court is
thirteen hundred. About three hundred of these
are in prison, and on an avarage sixteen more are
“ sent up” for trial every day. There is but one
Court to try these, and the justice there meted out
is often the scoff of the bad and shame of the good.

Coal in Kentucky.
The Geological Survey of Kentucky, states that

occupying one fourth of the entire surface of the
State with a depth of from 25,000 to 30,000 feet.—
In Union county, the Survey estimates the value of
the coal which can bo dug from each acre of the
beds at SBO,OOO leaving a profit of $30,000. A
bright prospect- for land owners, but delusive we

A Romantic Miss.
A young lady of respectable conncct’ons, in Phila
delphia*” who had probably been reading some of the
late flaming novels of Southern life, became determ
ined very suddenly, a few weeks ago, to leave the
narrow limits of the city and satisfy herself on the
slave State in the South, at the same time enjoy her
self among its pleasant towns and villages. She
clothed herself in man’s attire, in a fashionable suit
of broadcloth, took some change in her pocket, and
in a very quiet manner eloped.
She arrived in the city one day last week, to all
appearance a lad of some 15 or lti summers, stopped
a day or two, and in the meantime fell in with some
extravagant young travellers, proposed champagne
with them, took snacks at the “Bower,” and flew
around in quite handsome style. Yesterday after
noon she was on the point of leaving in the South
ern cars, when her father, who having fortunately
guessed her course was in pursuit of her, and had
just arrived by the Richmond train, found her seat
ed in the smoking car of the Weldon train puffing
away on a prime Havana, with her tiny little feet
cocked up against the stove, and withal quite at
home. On the affectionate parent beholding his
gentlemanly daughter thus metamorphosed, he was
at a loss to express himself, but finally managed to
exdaim, “Is that you Louisa?” To which the gal
lant runaway responded, “This is me father. Oh!
I’m so sorry l left you,” and she burst into tears.—
For the fair wanderer's sake we suppress names.

Rumored Disaffection in Canada.
A Toronto correspondent of the New York Daily
Times writes on the 4th inst:
A portentous story is at the present moment pas
sing fr w mouth to mouth, and meets with some de
gree of credence. It iB confidently stated that a
plot been discovered, having for its object the
placing of Canada under the banner of the stars and
stripes, and that a number of men holding high of
fice in this country are implicated in it. It is said
that Mr. Seward, sometime ago in the United States
Senate, spoke of the probable conduct of Canada, in
the event of war with England, he - proceeded not
on a vague estimate of the state of public feeling,
but on tangible documentary evidence, in the shape
of letters from influential parties on this side, then
actually in his bands. And it is added, that the
conspiracy has been blown up, nnd that the Gov
ernor General is now in possession of the names of
eight members of the Canadian Parliament, and of a
number of Canadian M agistrates, who have been en
gaged in treasonable correspondence with Mr.
Seward.
Negro Diplomatists.
The London correspondent of the New’ York Her
ald says:
“The negro representative of Soulouque made his
appearance this week at the Queen’s levee, nnd in
spite of all the affected sympathy of the English for
free “ niggers,” he was avoided as something “odi
ous and not to be endured.” A good joke of our
Minister at Paris, Mr. Mason, has come over here. —
He was yt a Court ball lately at tho Tuilleries, and
his eyes happened to light on the Charge d’Affaires
of Soulouque in France, a fine looking black. Some
one observing his steady gaze, said: “ Well, Mr.
Mason, what do you think of yonder blackee in his
embroidered coat?” “Think,” replied Mr. Mason,
still regarding the negro with the eye of. a connois
seur, “why, clothes and all, I think that fellow is
worth a thousand dollars.” This is “Old Virginny’
all over, and every body is laughing at. the bon
mot.”

Surgery in Illinois.
Mr. Brown, of Big Muddy, had his leg crushed by
a log, nnd had all the doctors of Richmond, Clay and
Jasper, in attendance. Not a set of surgical instru
ments could be found—and amputation was impera
tive. A rusty butcher knife and butcher’s saw was
obtained —the knife whetted on a brickbat—the saw,
rusty and greasy, was good enough. The incision
was made, and the (iesh cut in professional style, the
arteries taken up with a crooked fork, and tied with
the basting thread from one of the M. D.’s jacke’s;
tho end of the bone was scraped with a case knife, to
get off’the grease and rust left by the saw’; the flesh
was turned over the end. of the bone, and a cotton
rag stuck on to the wound with shoemaker’s wax.—
Eight inches of common whisky was put into the pa
tient before the operation commenced, which made
him oblivious. This is considered one of the great
est triumphs of the science of surgery extant, and
shows that money expended for instrument is thrown
away .—Olney Republican.
Spontaneous Combustion.
Benson Blake, Esq., informs the Vicksburg Whig
that fire had burst out of the centre of a pile of cot
ton seed that lay by the side of his gin house, on
his plantation on the Yazoo river, a few days since.
The cotton seed had been exposed to the weather
all winter, and he had commenced hauling it away,
when the fire broke out of the centre “’inf the pile.—
After it was extinguished, on examination it wa--
found charred to a considerable depth, and bore the
appearance of having been smothered in for some
time. Mr. Blake assures us there can be no doubt
of the fire originating from the heat of the seed.—
No doubt this is the cause of many gins burning
down, and we would advise all who have piles of
cotton seed lying about their gins to haul it out
forthwith.
South Carolina College.
We have learned that the Professors ofS uth Car
olina College, in view of the various rumors which
are in circulation, have addressed a communication
to the President of the Board of Trustees, requesting
a full and rigid inquiry into their course in reference
to the causes which may be supposed to have led to
its present condition. This, we think, is just, dig
nified and manly. They have appealed to tho tribu
nal, to which they are directly responsible, instead
of resorting to newspaperjdiscussion, which might
involve painful issues highly detrimental to the best
interests of the College.— Carolinian.
jSF“Mr. Everett’s lecture on Washington, at New
York, on Monday evening, before the Mercantile Li
brary Association, was attended by an immense
audience. Hundreds who were late, looked in and
went home again. Six thousand tickets were sold,
and there were, probably, some five hundred invited
guests present beside.
This lecture was first delivered in Boston, on the
22d of Feb.llas,s f , on which occasion the Advertiser
spoke of it thus:
“By the desire of the orator, we abstain from at
tempting a full report of this most splendid oration;
we subjoin, however, an abstract, prepared under
his own eye; an outline which will show its scope
and the originality and variety of the treatment of
the subject, although itnmst utterly fail (and indeed
the most complete report would fail) to give any
idea of the felicity oflanguage, the richness of illus
tration, and the burning eloquence of the perform
ance. * * * * * ’> * *
“The oration occupied two hours in the delivery.
During the whole of this time the orator did not
once refer to notes, or once refresh his lips with any
liquid—and the earnest interest and attention of the
audience remained fixed and unflagging from begin
ning to end. No idea of the passage of time could
have entered the mind of any hearer. There was
no opportunity for any, the least feeling of weari
ness. The pleasure of the audience frequently broke
out in bursts of hearty applause, and at the close
there was a universal feeling of regret that the in
tellectual feast was over, and of gratitude for its
wealth and profusion, which manifested itselfin long
continued and earnest plaudits.”
These strong, though doubtless well deserved com-1
pliments, arc reiterated in all the leading journals !
of Boston—the Post declaring that this oration is j
the greatest of all Mr. Everett’s great productions. J
The original price of the tickets to the oration was !•
one dollar, but so great was the demand for them
that tho entire three thousand was sold two days be
fore the time, at prices ranging from three to ten dol
lars.
fW” Joshua R- Giudings of Ohio, in a recent
speech in New York in favor of Black Republican
ism, used the following language:
“ I look forward to the day when there shall be a
servile insurrection in the South; when the black
man, armed with British bayonets, and led on by
British officers, shall assert his freedom, and wage
a war of exteruination against his master. When
the torch of the incendiary shall light vp the towns
and cities of the South, and blot out the last vestige
of slaver}'. And though I may not mock at their
calamity, nor laugh when their fear cometh, yet I
hail it as a dawn of a political inilleniutn.”
ISF* There are said to be 1,800 banks in the
United States, which in last January circulated
$117,157,412, while of coin in circulation there was
$185,109,605, showing actually a greater amount of
coin than bank notes to be used in the business of
the country. The whole amount of money in cir
culation was $859,265,017, giving to each individual
an average of SIB.BO, and showing an increase of
about $60,000,000 in the last ten years.

“The world is full of poetry —the air
Is living with its spirit; aaul the waves
Dance to the music of its melodies
And sparkle in its brightness.”
This spirit of poetry arouses our loftier train of af
fections, which are borne upon the gilded wings of
Cupid’s messenger, in the form of a Valetine, tosomo
fair friend breathing the pure sentiments of friend
ship, esteem, and all the kindlier regards for those to
whom we donate. It may, perchance, be received
with silent approval, told only by the fair face,
“Where eloquent blushes burß and fade,
Rich with the wealth of warm omotion ;
Or starry dimples mock the shade,
Like jewels in a restless ocean.”
alentines are the ambassadors of thought, where
language fails. They substitute, in glowing eloquence,
the reading of the heart, by their symbolic meaning.
Faithful to my trust, as a sc.vant of the public I
am doing all in my power to further the interests of
those youths and maidens who arc suffering from an
affection of the heart. To all, of every ago, and of
every rank in life, I offer a specific that has never
failed. Such is the wonderful power of the Valen
tines sold by me, as a philanthropist and conservator
of the tender passions, that none make love without
sending one as a pioneer. BENJ. G. LIDDON.

more or less, about 150 cleared, tho rest in the woods,
and l hazzard nothing in saying, that some of this
land is as good as any to be found in the county.—
There are about 200 acres oak and hickory land, well
adapted to the growth of com and cotton.
But to any one wishing to engage in the Lumber
business, this place offers rare inducements. There
is a good SAW MILL, with excellent water privileges
on tho premises, and by a smgll outlay in fixing up
the dam, any one of industry may soon realize the
amount paid for the place. There are also, two sets
of Mill Stones, which is an inducement to any one
wishing to erect a Grist Mill. A good framed House
with several Negro Cabins stand near by, for the ac
commodation of a miller and hands.
The market for lumber is good. The mill is two
miles from Powelton, ten from Sparta, and six from
Mayfield. Public roads pass by the the mill to each
of these places, which bring them in direct commu
nication. The route surveyed for the Rail Road from
Warrenton and Milledgcville is but a short distance
from the line of the land, and if it is boilt, will make
the tract almost invaluable. I wish to sdl the whole
in a body, but- if desired, will sell in parcels to suit
purchasers. Several elligible building sites, with
good Springs, make a division quite practicable.
As I am too far re r.ovcd to make these lands avail
able, my residence being in the Southern portion of
the State, I am determined to sell, and 1 promise any
one in want of such a place, that hv applying to me
early, at Perry, Ga., they shall have a bargain, cith
er for their own use or for speculation.

kind upon my land, in Hancock county, as des
cribed above. The law will bo applied in every in
