Monster Gun. —The Pittsburg Dis patch says that a twenty-inch Rodman gun was successfully cast at the Fort Pitt Works in that city, on Thursday last. This is the largest gun ever cast, and its success is a high tribute to the skill and genius of the parties engaged in the work. In twenty-five minutes after the turnaces were tapped the mould was filled, and in that time 170,000 p< unds of metal was passed through the pool, nearly 7,000 pounds pei minute. The weight of this mon ster gun. when finished and turned from the lathe, will be 115,000 pounds. The whole length, from breech to muz zle, will be —40.03 inches, a little over twenty-one teet. The length of the bore will be 210 inches, seventeen and a halt feet. The maximum diameter will be sixty-four inches, and the min imum thirty-four inches. The solid twenty-inch ball will weigh 1,000 pounds, and the shell about 700 pounds. The charge of powder will vary, ac cording to circumstances, from sixty five to eighty pounds. Some two weeks, it is said, must elapse before it can be lifted from the pit in which it was cast. —The Copperheads of the Pennsyl vania Senate still prevent the trans action of all business. —America producesonehundred mil lions of gallons of whiskey per annum, and drinks most of it herself. —The privateer Alabama has cap tuied in all fifty-eight sailing vessels and one steamer, the liatteras. Manchester, X. IT. is suffering for factory work girls. The pay is high, but the crinoline scarce. —Nineteen hundred and fifty-three bales ol cotton passed Cairo on the 4th instant for Cincinnati. —Judge Barbour, of the Superior Court, in New York, fined a jury 3250 each, on Friday, for bringing in a ver dict of "We agree to disagree." —A sensible Jerseyman has willed 3200 to the Now Jersey Bible Society for buying spectacles for old people, so that they may see to read. —Armagh, Brown and Union town ships offer two hundred dollars local bounty, and the remaining districts are also moving in the matter, so that with proper liberality our county may escape a draft. —Michael Dan Magehan, Esq., for a number of years past the oldest practicing attorney at the Cambria county bar, died rather unexpectedly after a brief illness, of inflammation of the lungs, at Ebensburg, on Saturday a week, in tlie 59th year of hie age. THE ENROLLMENT BILL. The following is the enrollment bill as amended by the House: It provides that the quota of each ward of a city, town, township, precinct, or elec tion district, or of a county, where the same is divided into wards, towns, town ships, precincts, or election districts, shall be as nearly as possible in proportion to the number of men resident therein sub ject to draft, taking into account, as far as practicable, the number which has been previously furnished therefrom; and in as certaining and fiiling the same quota there shall be taking into account the recent number of men who have heretofore en tered the naval service of the United States, and whose names are borne upon the enrollment list as already returned to i the office of the Provost Marshal General , of the United States. Any person en rolled under the provisions of the enroll ment act, whorniy hereafter be so enrolled, may furnish at any time previous to thp draft an acceptable substitute, who is not liable to draft nor at the time in the mili tary or naval service of the United States, and such persons so furnishing a substitute shall be exempt from draft, not, however, exceeding the time for which such substi tute shail have been accepted. But no private soldier, musician or non-commis sioned officer being actually in the military service of the United States, shall be pro cured or accepted as the substitute. The boards of enrollment are to enroll all per sons liable to draft under the provisions of this act, and of the enrollment act, whose ; names may have been omitted by the pro per enrolling officers; and all persons who shall have arrived at the age of 20 years before the draft; all aliens who shall declare their intention to become citizens; all per sons discharged from the militarv and naval servioe of the United States, who have not been in such service two years during the present war, and all persons who have been exempted under the pro visions of the second section to which this act is a supplement, but who are not exempted by the provisions of this act; and the boards of enrollment shall release and discharge from draft all persons, who, be tween the time of the enrollment and the draft, shall have arrived at the age of forty five years, and shall strike the names of such persons from the enrollment. Any person drafted into the military service of the United States may, before the time fixed for his appearance for duty at the draft rendezvous, furnish an acceptable substitute, subject to such rules and regu lations as may be prescribed by the Secre tary of War. If such substitute i 3 not liable to draft, the person furnishing him shall be exempt from draft during-the time for which such substitute is liable to draft, not exceeding the terra for which he was drafted, and if such substitute is liable to draft, the name of the person fur nishing him shall be liable to draft in fil ling future quotas; and if any drafted persons shall hereafter pay money for the procuration of a substitute under the pro visions of the act to which this is an amendment, such payment of money shall operate only to relieve such person who was drafted, unless the names placed iu the box become exhausted, in which case the names shall be returned to the wheel. Members of religious denominations who shall by oath or affirmation declare that they are conscientiously opposed to the bearing arms, and who are prohibited from doing so by the rules and articles of faith and practice of said religiousdenominations, shall, when drafted into the military ser vice, be considered as non combatants, and shall be assigned by the Secretary of War to duty in the hospitals or to the care of freedmen, or shall pay the sum of 8300 to such persons as the Secretary of War shall designate to receive it, to be applied to the benefit of sick and wounded soldiers : Pro vided, That no person shall be entitled to the benefit of the provisions of this sec tion, unless this declaration of conscien tiou3 scruples against bearing arms shall be supported by satisfactory evidence that his deportment has been uniformly con sistent with such declaration. Any mari ner or able seamen who shall be drafted shall have the right, within eight days after the notification of such draft, to enlist in the naval service as a seaman. No pilot, engineer, master at-arms, acting master, acting ensign, or acting master's mate, having an appointment, or acting appoint ment, as such, and being actually in the naval service, shall be subject to a military draft while holding such appointment. The following persons are exempted and excepted from the enrollment and draft— namely: Such as are rejected as physically or mentally unfit for the service. All persons actually in the military or naval service of the United States at the time of the draft. All persons who have served in the mil itary or naval service two years, during the present war, and who have been honorably discharged from the service, and no per son but such as are herein excepted shaH* be exempt. The two classes heretofore provided for in the enrollment are consoli dated. In all cases where colored persons have been heretofore enlisted in the mili tary service of the United States, all the provisions of this act, so far as the pay ment of bounty and compensation are pro vided, 6hall be equally applicable, as well as to those who may be hereafter recruited. The bill also contains the section for enrolling all able bodied persons of African descent; upon which a separate vote was taken before the bill was passed. The above amendments do not, in our opinion, repeal the 8300 commuta tion clause in the old bill. The Sen ate on Monday disagreed to the amend ments, and the bill therefore will have to go to a committee of conference. —Our borough quota is said to bo full. WAR NEWS. Richmond papers of the 10th instant contain a manifesto from Jeff. Davis to the Rebel army. He is extravagant in his eulogiums ot the Rebel soldiers who have re enlisted in the face of a wholesale Conscription act that would have forced theui back into the army—and contrasts ; their action with what he terms ' the halt ' ing and reluctant service of the merce naries who are purchased by the enemy, at the price of higher bounties than have j hitherto been known in war.' He says that the 1 brave battle-cry' of the Southern legions in the coming spring campaign will ring through the land of the enemy and 'will silence the vaiuglorious boastings of their corrupt partizaos and their pensioned press, and will do justice to the calumny by which they seek to persuade a deluded people that you are ready to purchase dis honorable safety by degrading submis sion.' These are big words, the like of which we used to hear early in the rebel lion, when the rebel army was to march to New York and dictate terms of peace. Part of it is merely bnncombe, but there is undoubtedly an intention on the part of the rebel leaders to make their final and des perate stjuggle in the coming spring, and it behooves us to be promptly and fully prepared to meet it. Colonel Streight, who with one hundred and nine other Union officers recently es caped from the Libby Prison at Richmond, h„s safely got within our lines. A despatch I from General IJutler states that Colonel \ Streight, with seventeen ot the officers who ' escaped with him, had arrived at Williams- I burg, where our forces under Gen. VVistar are encamped. Despatches from Yicksburg state that the town of Jackson and Yazoo city are in the hands of General Sherman. This move ment is understood to be in connection with a movement at Chattanooga. The steamer Fulton, arrived at New York, brings advices from Port Royal to the 9th and Charleston bar to the 10th. An expedition had gone to Florida, its object being to capture Tallahassee, the capital of the State. General Gilmore had left Port Royal for Florida. The British war steam er Petrel had been refused permission to communicate with the British Consul at Charleston, by Admiral Dahlgren. The Sanannah Republican gives a gloomy ac count of rebel affairs, and states that only one mouth's subsistence is in possession of the rebel Commissary. Admiral Dahl green had also gone to Florida. The rebel guerillas on the line of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad are proving themselves accomplished highwaymen and practice pocket-picking on an extensive scale. On Thursday night the express train going west was stopped beyond liar per's Ferry by throwing the engine off the track. The rebels then took possession of the cars and robbed every passenger on board who had anything worth taking. Money and watches were principally look ed after, but even smaller articles, such as pocket knives aad tooth-picks, were not overlooked. Oh, the chivalry. A letter from Morris Island, S. C., states that the Rebels at Charleston recently attempted to send one of their torpedo steamers out through Beach Inlet for the purpose of destroy ing the gunboats Housatonie and Nep sic, which were lying off Maffit's Chan nel. The steamer, however, sunk, carrying down eight of her crew. A late Richmond paper says :—' We understand tha' the military author ities felt warranted yesterday, acting upon information disclosed through an anonymous correspondence, in adopt ing extraordinary measures to prevent an uprising of the Yankee prisoners of war held on Bell Isle, such a de monstration being hinted at as on the tapis. A Correspondent in the Cincinnati Gazette, writing from .Nashville, says that ' some little time will elapse be fore the army can move, but when it does there will be a crash.' The veter an regiments in General Grant's army have already begun to return to the field, and are largely recruited. The 66th Ohio arrived at Nashville 103 stronger than when it went home, and the 3d Wisconsin returned full. A despatch from Memphis says that on the sth instant General P. G. T. Beauregard through his agent, paid his United States tax on property in that city, amounting to over 8100. This indicates that, even if he has faith in the establishment of a South ern Confederacy, he has no expecta tion that Tennessee will constitute a portion thereof. The iron-clad gunboat Chickasaw was launched at Carondolet, Mo., on Wednesday morning. A sad accident marred the occasion. A coil of rope attached to the anchor spun out so rapidly as to carry overboard a daught er of Captain Eads, three other ladies and a sou of ex-Mayor Filley. All were rescued save one, Mrs. Bradley, who was drowned. —Gold is quoted at sixty premium. —The theatres in London are open on Sunday for public preaching, and many of the leading clergy of various denominations officiate. —lt seems to U9 that, according to Webster, it is hardly wrong to call a chief instructor a principal , even if there is a supeiintendent, and our old friend Mount's grin therefore is over the left. —The Democrat makes light of our doing thirty-five jobs in January, and alleges that he sent some to this office. We do not believe there is an office on the Juniata that did a greater number, and we doubt whether the Democrat printed as many from the Ist of No vember to the 31st of January.

Pain in the Back and Limbs, Cramps. &c. MR. Swyers. by repeated experiments, has succeeded in compounding a Linn ment which possesses ail the magic powers of a perfect Pain Exterminator. Its virtues have been unmistakably tested, and every application has given almost mmediate re lief; and the object io giving notice of the above discovery is. not to enlarge the list of worthless compounds already quite too large, but simply to inform any who may be afflict ed with any of the above named diseases where they can be supplied with an infallible remedy. A long list of names of individuals who have had access to the ablest physicians, and have tested most of the patent remedies, all to no advantage, but who were almost im mediately relieved bv this powerful I.iniment, couid be obtained. We, however, give but a few, knowing that the Liniment will speak for itself as soon as applied : Jacob Sscsr. Y. H. Sumnen, James Mendenbtll, John Smith, John A. Brought, Seymour Downs, W. P.

Mr. Swyers: Sir: I bave trnd your lini ment for a pain in my side, which I have been subject to for several years. Some time last May I took a very severe attack in my side and breast, and aftrr using other tnedi* cines without receiving any apparent benefit from them, I thought I would try your lini ment, and see what virtue there was in it. I got a bottle, and after using it bnt a few day* I found that I was much better, and at pres ent consider myself perfectly cured. Yours, truly, Isaac Price. DERRY TOWNSHIP, April "27, 1863. Mr. Swyers: Sir: I have used your l ni ment for some time, and have found a great benefit by the use of it.
