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 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.
BOOKS FOR CAMP AND HOME. —James Red
path. Boston, announces a series of ten cent

class than the dime publications now in the
market. They will contain from 96 to 124

van Retreat " Then follows a splendid

This brief notice was written by herself some time
before her death, and left with the request that there
should be nothing added to it. It mav not be improp
er however to state here what will be made known in
another way that she made a will in which she be
queathed a considerable sum of money to various
christian and charitable institutions. She was lovely
in life and peaceful in death; her memory is now pre
cious and her bliss is doubtless perfect.
At a special meeting of Aughwick Lodge, No
-472, I. O. of O. F. t held at Newton Hamilton, Februa
ry 15, 1864, the following preamble and resolutions
were unanimously adopted :
W HF-REAs, God in his allwise Providence has remov
ed from amongst us by the hand of death, on Satur
day, February 13, inst., our well-beloved brother P. G.
WM C. TATLOR, (who was a veteran soldier in Co. B,
49th Reel., Pa. V 015.,) and whose intercourse with our
Lodge lias been long, intimate and most cordial,
therefore.
Resolved, That in the death of our highly esteemed
brother wo have sustained a loss whieh we greatly de
plore. That we deeply feel for his bereaved family
in their affliction, and that we tender them our sincere

DERRY TOWNSHIP, July 17, 1863.
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.
