Spiking Cannon.
The TitUburg Ley itch contains the foK
lowing interesting icformation : Thero
is no method of spiking a cannon which
will forever prevent its use. If the spiko
is made of iron or unhardened steel, it
may be removed by the drill. If it is
loosely insetted, or without much force,
it may bo blown out by firing a charge of
gunpowder placed in the bottom of the
bore. Tin t if tho spiko is mado ofharden
ed steel, to fit the vent closely, nnd is dri
ven in with great force, and if its lower
end is made soft and riveted within the
bore, then neither tho drill nor gunpow.
der can romovo it; the vent remains per
manently closed. The remedy, in such
rases, is to drill a ne v vent, which may
be done without impairing the servioeahle
ne.ss of tho gun. A new vent may be drill
ed in any cannon by a skillful machinist
in two or three henrs.
In experimental firing, whn r. vet, t be
comes to much worn and enlarged, we
"nu a r.ew one, ami sometimes a many
1 Ml .
a.s three or four vents are made in the
same gun, and mnny hundred fires ara
made afterwards.
During the recent Crimean war, an ar
ticle relative to spiking cannon was pub
lished in the London TW. in which it
w:ls asserted that the use of

Tho reader who is carious t i kno ex,

will gwt a clear i'lea of il by taking the
map and tracing it as follows; It com
mences at tho point on tho Atlantic coast
where the dividing lino between Virginia
and North Carolina commences; passes
along the line dividing those States; along
the lino between Tennessee and Ken

of Missouri and Arkansas ; thence through

there are about 3aj,0u0 square miles of
territory, including Indian reservation
while on tho north thero about 1,300,000
square miles south of ,10 GO there is not
the slightest probability that lliero could
be carved out more than one slavo State.
All New Mexico, comprisingnbout 'JlU.l'oi)

territory, from the tact that it is not adap
