The rout and capture of the Secession column at Pikeville, united with the burning of the bridges in his rear, will, beyond question, compel Zolli coffer to retreat from Cumberland Gap. The burning of the bridge over the Cumberland river is to the Louisville and Nashville Railroad ■what the destruction of the bridge over the Susque hanna would be to the Pennsylvania Central. With both his hanks heavily menaced, with, indeed, the eastern one turned, and his base line of operations thus out off with Nashville, nnd his front heavily threatened by General Buell’s column, how can Buckner maintain his position at Bowling Green ! Has it not become a military impossibility ? With Buckner driven back to Nashville, Price forced into Arkansas, how can Polk maintain his position at Columbus ? Can ho stop short of Mem phis unless he throws his whole central column out of line with his left and right wings? Without a monstrous blunder upon part of our generals in the West, resulting in defeat, (and, aa yet, they have committed none,} the front line of the enemy, within the space of two weeks, will rest upon Knoxville, Nashville, Memphis, and Little Rock. The evidences are, that a GovemmentstiU exists, and that a strong Union feeling prevails everywhere in the Southwest, a wailing only the presence of the Union forces to develop its strength and power. How the Ring is to he Formed. More than a month ago The Press showed how, by the line of Gauley, Lynchburg, and Weldon, or by that of Gainesborough nnd ltaleigh, with a simultaneous movement from the sea-coast, either from Hatteras or Wilmington, all communication between the Cotton Slates and Virginia could be cut off. Circumstances would seem to point out that this line of interception has been determined upon farther to the westward, and it is to be made through South Carolina and Tennessee. Perhaps the Government has wisely chosen that as the most accessible and defensible ”coil for the ana conda ” to make. With Kontucky devoted to the Union, in case of reverse, there is a home frontier to fall back npon. Both Nelson and Schoepff are within sixty-five or seventy miles of the Tennessee and Virginia Railroad—the former nearest to Grenvillo, the home of Andy Johnson, and the lattor to Knox ville, the home of Parson Brbwnlow. When this medulla spinalis —this central cord of rebellion— is reached effectively, then, indeed, the woundod snake of rebellion will writhe in mortal agony. “ Now, by St. Paul, the work goes bravely on!” Fortress Monroe, Va., Nov. 11, 1881. The Forty-eighth Regiment, Pennsylvania Vol unteers, will leave this point this evening, on the steamer »?• If* Spaaid tug for Hatteras Inlet.- - This regiment is commanded by Colonel James Nagle, who served as captain in the Mexican war, was one of the first to Tespond again to his country’s call when the Southern rebellion broke out. The major, and most of the other officers, served under their present colonel daring the three months service. After the expiration of their term of enlistment, they immediately commenced and recruited the present regiment. I understand that itisaneatire Schuylkill county regiment. From their drilling and discipline one would suppose they had been in the service for two years, instead of three months. Should they get a chance at the rebels, I am sure they will render a good account of themselves. General Mansfield regrets their leaving his com mand, and would have been better pleased could they have remained. The health of the regiment is very good; only some five will be left here in the hospital. J. Iv. S. The Successful Departure of the Bermuda from 'Savannah. Wc have been permitted to copy the following extract from a private letter, written by an officer of our navy, giving an account of the manner in Which the Ezrwuda ran the blockade: C. S. Steamer “Huntress, 77 ) Savannah, Gn., Nov 3,1861. j Dear : I have only time to write to you a very hurried letter. We came back from a suc cessful expedition awhile ago. We went down last night to carry the Bermuda out, loaded with about 2,000 bales of cotton. We confidently expected a fight, as the plan was for us to attack the blocka ding vessels, while she was to pass out. Went down to Fort Pulaski about dark-—the five vessels of our mosquito fleet, the Bermuda following. A heavy gun was fired from the battery at Warsaw, which was the signal, but on going out we found rone of the vessels, as the night was very dark, rainy, and stormy, just the thing for us, and their attention, I suppose, was drawn off by the signal gun. So we fooled them, and gave them the slip completely; all of us returned in high spirits, and “nobody hurt,” as wo certainly anticipated en gaging them last night. The Peninsula. (From the Norfolk Day Book.] Since the great Federal fleet sailed from Hamp ton roads, we have had no rumors of actual or ex pected battles below Yorktown. Oar advices re present that everything U quiet, the health of the camps generally improving, and (he men engaged in making preparations for cold weather and other events that may occur. n«t»i Ajjpo'Jmment.

The Hew York Herald's Washington correspond** cnt sajs: The despatch in the Herald of Sunday last, an nouncing a reported discovery by Emperor Napo leon, in the British .Museum, of a copy of a treaty made at the time France ceded Louisiana to the United States, stipulating that the Mississippi should at all times be kept open to the navigation of French vessels, has created quite a sensation in diplomatic circles here. The private letter receiv ed by a distinguished gentleman of Philadelphia from a London banker, announcing the fact from •which I originally quoted, was handed to Secretary Seward to-day. All the treaties known to the Go vernment, on the subject of the Louisiana pur chase, have been examined this afternoon, but none yet discovered appear to contain anything that could be construed into such a pledge on the part of our Government as is indicated in the private letter from England * except clauses six and seven, on page sixteen of volume eight “ United States Statutes at Large.” It is only necessary to state, and I do so authoritatively, that the Government of the United States will adhere strictly to the re quirements of that treaty, and will act promptly to carry out all of them with the full force of the army and navy. In short, the Government is now in the act of clearing the Mississippi river of the rebel batteries erected on its banks, with the purpose of preventing the exercise of this very ripht now said to be claimed by France. The river is not closed by the Government, but by opponents of the Go vernment. The Union blockade at the mouth of the Mississippi is only a part of the work of tho Go vernment to open it to navigation. It therefore remains for France to settle whether she will aid a legitimate Government in sustaining international law, or will join a horde of miscreants who are in re bellion against all law. There is no treaty existing betwen the United States and any other Power on earth that will cot bo strictly adhered to by that Government at all times. [We bave been permitted to publish the follow ing extract from the letter of a private in the Fifth Regiment of United States infantry, in.

We expected to go to the States, but the surrender of Major Lynd, with seven companies of the Seventh infantry and some mounted rides, to a ragged band of Texans about 220 strong, caps everything; so the com mander of the [department, Colonel Canby, thought It necefsary to keep the Fifth infantry in New Mexico still. “ I have been talking to men of the Seventh that were at Fort Fillmore, or where the surrender took place, and they tell me the affair was most disgrace ful. The men were willing to fight, but the officers would not. and surrendered to a half-armed, half elQthed, miserable set of wretches from the New Mexican townß along the Rio Grande. What do you ihink of that? A good many of the men told me that the only gentleman and officer in the com mand was Lieut. Criily. He carried water in his ambulance to the stragglers behind on the road, and fired the only cannon shot that was fired.” Serious Accident to Gen. Tom Thumb. A serious accident happened to Charles S. Strat ton, better known as Gen. Tom Thumb, at St. Catherines, Canada, one day last week. The To ronto Globe gives the details as follows : Gen. Tom and his suite were proceeding to Ni agara town, being advertised to appear there that day. They had scarcely left the Welland House five minutes when the axle of their conveyance broke; the horses, high-spirited ones, immediately became uncontrollable and started. After carrying away tho hind part of & buggy standing by the road side, the fore wheel came off They then made for the sidewalk, which is an embankment twenty feet bigb. One of the horses went over the bank, but fortunately at this juncture the pole broke, freeing the animals, and, part of the debri3 becoming en tangled in the fence, luckily saved them from a boih in the Welland canal. Tho General was thrown out with great violence, alighting on his back. He w«s instantly picked up by Mr. Tomlin (who was much cut and bruised) and carried into a -store, where fortunately no bones were found to bo broken, but he was much bruised and shaken. Mr. Pierce, being seated to the driver, was ena bled to take a spring and escaped unharmed. Messrs. Wells and He Vere were badly bruised, as also was tho valet.. Mr. Caswell, the pianist, took a flying leap and alighted on bis face, much to the derangement of his nasal organ. The little foot man was much alarmed, and his smart livery was iu a pretty pickle from rolling in the mud. The re mainder of the party were more or less bruised. The General bore the mishap with great coolness and composure, and appeared much gratified when he learned that none of his retinue were seriously injured. After a short delay they again started. rejoicing that no worse misfortune had befalleu them. The General was advised to rest himself for the day, but he resisted all solicitations, being de termined that the Niagara public should not be disappointed. THE CITY. roil ADDITIONAL CITY NEWS SEE INSIDE. THE RETURN JUDGES. MORE TROUBLE IN REGARD TO TJIE ARMY VOTE. THE MATTER AGAIN IN COURT. Tlio Return Judges reassembled yesterday morning at 10 Morris S. Farker, president, iu the chair* Before the meeting was called to order, Mr. Gowau made h's appearance, and served upon each member a writ of mandamus. Mr. Simpson refused to recognize the writ, on the ground that it was not properly attested, Ac. A man whom Mr. Gowan said was his assistant was excluded from the room. The Board was now called to order, and the roll was called—all the menibors present. An exciting discussion took place between Messrs. Simpson and Carrigan relative to the writ which had just been served. Several of the membqrs took the floor, and Tor a time the greatest confusion and excitement pre vailed. The writ says; “Now, therefore, wo command you, Joseph Tree, Merit Gibson, J. K. Carrigan, Hubert Connell, Andrew Gillespie, I. H. O’Hara, M. A. DeGroot, Thomas Harper, Morris S. Parker. William D.

Or forthwith to us, to sho* cause why you have not exe cuted this our writ of mandamus, and how you shall exe cute this our writ, you 9ha!l certify to us at a court to be holden at 10 o’clock, on the 13th day of November, 1861, and have with yon there this our writ of mandamus. The original writ was served upon the president, who inquired whether it hud been issued by the president judge. The officer responded that it had been issued by the court. Mr. Simpson remarked that the writ had not boon is sued by Judge Thompson. r Mr. Carrigan replied that it hinl, and a sharp conver sation occurred between those two gentlemen, which WAS finally brought to u close by the President. Mr. Stafford moved that a committee of three be ap pointed to wait upon Charles D. Knight, the prothouo tary, to request bis attendance for the purpose of stating the reasons why he did not make all the returns at once, and why the additional returns made on Tuesday were Withheld. Mr. Simpson said that when the prothonotary of the court was here yesterday he said he had certified to all the returns that he had considered formal and in accord ance with the provisions of the law. The returns now sent here by order of an associate judge of the court were not, in bis opinion, pioperly attested. We do not kuow what kind of letnvns they are, as they are not properly certified. Upon the face of tlio accompanying document it appears that the returns are hoFore us by the direction of Judge Ludlow. Mr. S. did not think that Judge Lud low had anything to do with the return judges or the re turns, as the law provides that they shall he certified by the prothonolary of the court. Mr. Stafford said he understood that some of these ad ditional returns, now before us by the direction of Judge Ludlow, did not come to the pruthonotary as provided by law, some having come by private conveyance, and not by mail. The resolution was agi eed to, and Mr. Stafford appointed chairman of the committee. The committee to wait upon the protlionotary return ed, and stated that he would soon bo present. The prothouotary, with Chas. Gilpin, Esq., his coun sel, coon after mode Ills AppeftrAtifie, Atul tllO Ohjod for which he was summoned was stated by the president, as follows: Mr. Protlionotary, this body is desirous of ob taining some information in regard to the returns from the army. Whether they come according to law] Whether they come by mail or express 7 Also, such other matters as will aid the judges to complete tlio Counting of the vote. Mr. Knight replied that liia counsel, Mr. Gilpin, would reply for him. Mr. Gilpin then said : It affords the prothonotan* great pleasure to appear before you, or before the court with which he may have any official connection. At this mo ment his appearance before you, and whatever ho may Bay might be, and no doubt will be, the subject of much discussion and canvassing throughout the city. I have advised him to say nothing, and to speak only by tn© card. You will appreciate the embarrassing position in which he is placed, lie tas endeavored to do his duty, and intends so to do. He may be in error in a matter of judgment. His Honor Judge Ludlow thought the pro thonotary bad not done his duty. He complied then with what he considered the direction of the court. There h an obvious impropriety at this moment for me to say a word about these returns, especially as the case is being heurd now in the Common Pleas. It may be proper for me or the prothonotary to give you information, hut only at the proper time. We consider that the returns here ure under the authority of the judge. I have great respect for Judge Lfldfow, andwill bow to his decision, whatever that may be. The jndge may be wrong, a lawyer uiuj in.* aud r«e© voi-awy-n/ur mo jwigp-to above a lawyer, and, therefore, the latter should submit, whether right or wrong. I have kept my eye and my heart single to carry my client through these troubles successfully. I have every reason to act with caution, especially when I observe that such men as Judge King and Judge Ludlmv differ in their opinions on any vital point. Judge King, you will remember, was of the opinion that tho celebrated^ 44 Schimpfillor ” vote ought to be sent to Harrisburg on'tlieir reception at the office; Judge Ludlow that only the certified copy should be sent. Under these circumstances, he felt obliged to decline answering all questions as to whether theso returns were the certified copies or the original. Mr. Simplon tli6ii Asked Mr. Gilpin whether the returns last sent to the return judges were all received through the mall ? ’ Mr. Gilpin. So far as thi3 is concerned, I say yes; not ascounsel, however, for the prothonotary, but a 3 a private citizen. Mr. Wright protested against any questions being an swered in this manner. If that course is to be adoptod, we may as well open the doors and admit other citizens, Mr. Simpson. Were you present, Mr. Gilpin, when the returns were opened 1 Mr. Gilpin. Some, butnot all of them. Mr. Wright again protested, and the subject was dropped. The president then returned tho thanks of the Board to the prothonotary and his counsel for their attendance, and they retired. Mr. Stafford moved that, ‘as an argument was now peuding in the Com t of Common Pleas relative to the re turns, they should take a recess until oue o’clock. This was objected to by several members, and a wrang ling debate followed. Mr. Simpson said the state of affairs was now different from yesterday, when they took a recess by request of Judge Ludlow. Now, the other side of tho question was being discussed before the court, and out of due deference to that body a rccesft should be taken. The motion to take a recess finally prevailed, when a disgraceful scene followed—caused as to who should keep possession of the returns until the reassembling of the Beard* §pmc of the members charged others with fraud, and were unwilling that tho returns should be loft in their care, for fear alterations might be made. Their conduct was anything but gentlemanly. The Board met again shortly after one o’clock, when it was understood that the court had adjourned. A motion was therefore made to take a further recess until two O’clock. Mr. Hancock submitted the following as an amend* men! - ** Whereas, The business of the Return Judges has been retarded by the numerous writs and proceedings be fore the Hon. Jas. R. Ludlow, one of the judges of the Court of Common Pleas, and by the request of said Judge this body yesterday suspended their business, and, as we are informed and believe, that other proceed ings will he had before said court; therefore, “Resolved, Out of respect to tho Hon. J. B, Ludlow', we do hereby agree to take a recess until such time as shall enable the said judge calmly to adjudicate all ques tions which have been or may be presented to him touch ing tho rights or duties of this body, and that said judge bo respectfully requested to notify the president of this Board when he shall have concluded and disposed of all such question?, so . that this body may be called together to flDlfh ibvir duties according to law.** After some discussion, the resolution was postponed for the present. It was then agreed that hereafter, during all the re cet ses of the Board, the returns should he held by the president. The vote was then taken on Mr. Hancock’s resolution to take a recess, and was agreed to by a vote of 14 to 10. Mr* Wright wished to know who was to call the Board together again. He was told the president. Mr. Wright said the resolution did not provide for this; he bad misunderstood it. In bis opinion the body was not yet adjourned The president overruled Mr. Wright, and declared that the Board stood adjourned, or had taken a recess. A number of the members then started off to go Into tho Court of Common Pleas for the purpose of informing Judge Ludlow of the passage of tho resolution. THK MATTER IN COURT. Yesterday morning, in consequence of the return judges not counting the votes in the certificates forwarded to the Board, under the advisory opinion of Judge Ludlow, d writ Of alternate nmililiimuri was applied for from Judge Ludlow to compel ihe return judges to compute the votes according to law. The writ was made returnable at 10 o’clock yesterday morning. The Democratic members of the Board made a return to the writ that they were will ing and ready to compute the return sent in on Tuesday nijzht by the prothonotary. Mr. A. C. Goweu, who served the writ, made affidavit to that effect, anil that J. Alexander Simpson, one of tho members, refused to accept service of the writ, as it was not issued by the president of the court. Messrs. Riddle, Hirst, Cnssidy, J. E. and A. C. Gowen appeared for Mr. Lawrence, the relator in tho writ, and M. Russell Thayer represented some of the return judges who had refused l* obey the writ. Mr. Thayer moved to quash tho writ, on the ground that tlm act of 1105, which regulated thu issuing of tho writ ofmandamu.-q required the president judge of the court to be present. Next he urged that the return judges had their duties to perform, and, in the exercise of their duties, the court could not interfere; and if injustice was done, the courts were open to the parties, and a contested election case could be tried in the manner set forth by the acts of As sembly, The argument was continued at length by Mr. Thayer, and at the conclusion Judge Ludlow said that the ground which he had maintained, at considerable expense to his feelings, was now being shown to bo correct. His view was that, at this stage of the proceedings, neither the court, t]»e prothoiwt&ry, nor the return judges could exercise judicial discretion. He then proceeded to dis pose of thu motion to quash. When tho act of 1705 was passed, the associate judges were laymen, and, therefore, the propriety of allowing only the president judge to issue the writ of mandamus. A subsequent act, applying to the county ol Philadelphia, gave, as associates, judges learned in the law. It haa been tho practice in the court for years for a ainglo judge b, issue the writ, and lie would, therefore, refuse the motion to quash. Mr. Thayer desired time to prepare tho answer-of the judges, and the court accordingly granted an adjourn ment until half past twelve o’clock. At that time it was stated by Mr. Thayer that previous to tho determination of bis motion tho return judges had adjourned until one o’clock, and until that time he would not be able to ace thorn, mid would llioroforo ask a further postponement until half past one o’clock. This wag granted. At half past one o’clock the return of tho return judges to the writ was read by Mr. Thayer, setting forth that they had not refuted to compute the vote, and tho reasons for their delay. To this a demurrer was filed by the csunsel for the relatori*, on which an argument was bad, which reunited in.7ndge Ludlow sustaining the de murrer, but granting to the return judgea a further time to prefer un amended answer—to wit, until five o’clock. The court then adjourned until that hour. AVjmt ox M-andamckOk anted.— Long before the court was opened at five o’clock a large crowd as as congrega ted outside the door, which, when opeued, was besieged by a host of applicants for admission. The room was completely packed in a few minuted—a largu number be* log unable fo gain admission. The proceedings were opened by Mr. Thayer, who slated tlmt it had been impossible lor him to confer with his clients, as they had adjourned previous to the court doing so. He had visited (heir residences and places of bmim*ss. and yet was unable to meet them all. He Wished tlifit further time Might bo granted him. He had fallen into an error during the mumfngi by quoting from an net as passed in 1705, when, in reality, it was passed in 1836, anti therefore, by a fair construction of tho pro visions of the act of Assembly, uo single judge could issue the writ of mandamus. Up to 1836, courts of Common Pleas had no right to issue writs of mandamus. Mr. llirst, after a few remarks, read from an net of February 3, 1843, showing that one associate judge of the Court of Common Pirns had the right to tone » writ of mandamus. Mr. Thayer wished time, in order to examine whether certain sections of this act hud not bceu repealed. Mr. Hint now asked that a peremptory writ of man damus might be issued. He then explained the nature of the writ and ita service. If, ''hen issued, it be dis obeyed, the court may then determine its remedy. judge Ludlow wii/1, before determining on granting the writ, he would Inquire whether tho returns were not iu safe bunds. , . , The counsel for relators did not know anything fur ther, except that Hie leturns had been placed in x tlio hands of tho president of the Board. After some further discussion. Judge Ludlow said that, in order that it might not ffppfftr he had boon hasty in *lhis matter, if the counsel wishes to amend the return •• filed, he would adjourn the hearing till this morning. Mr. Thayer repliod that Mr. Green, one of the return judges, was present: he could answer for himself. Mr. Thayer consulted with Mr. Green, and soon re plied that the latter did not wish to amend the return filed in the ittemtag. Judge Ludlow then said, believing, as lie did, that reasons of a public nature require ibat this cause should be disposed of at the earliest possible moment, he should now proceed to decide it. This was the first time within his knowledge that the clients represented by a gentle man at the bar had left the latter without communicating with him. Why they had not done so was no reason why the proceedings of the court should be delayed. It seemed there was no intention to amend the return, but these gentlemen desired the judgment of the court, and, therefore, ub matter of law, ho would proceed to de termine the case. Nor was It to* be understood, the opin ion about to bo delivered is tho result of hasty action upon the part of the court. We would do injustice to dutselvtg if we did not publicly ductaro that for nearly a week the whole subject lius been under investigation. first opinion delivered in this causo was the result of a deliberate conviction. 'TUc,_Bpocitic ad vice given, ou Tuesday, to the prothonotary was the result of the same deliberate conviction. Nothing could have tempted him to order tho prothonotary to certify a single return. Tho right of this court, or of the judge, to issue the mandamus was based upon a construction of the acts of Assembly. He fell into error as to tho date of one act, but that the court possessed the power he could not doubt. If this should appear to bo a mistaken view, no attachment will be issued against the respondents. The questions of law which arise from this act of man damus have fllw Hoff the subject of consideration. So far, then, as the merits of the cause nro concerned, the opinion was well considered by him, and not a hasty judgmeut. The Judge finally entered judgment on the demurrer, and granted a writ of mandamus, returnable this after noon at six o’clock. The court then adjonmed, Another Meeting of the Return Judges.— Last eve ning, after the decision of the court, A number of the re turn judges assembled in the Supreme Court room. B. L. 'Wright, Esq., in the absence of the chairman, was called to the chair, hut, there being no quorum present, the meeting was adjourned until this morning at 9 o’clock. The Navy Yard.— Business at the navy yard has much increased of Ute—so much, indeed, that the lately mooted extension of its area is more than ever talked of. Already the workmen have to resort to all sorts of Bluffs and manoeuvres to accomplish the simplest pl6*d of work, if tho material to bo handled happeiu to bo of unusual bulk. To remedy this incohvenience, which is owlug to the vast increase of work, several of the shops arc being, or are to be, enlarged. The enlargement of the gun-carri age shop, which was done some months ago, has not af forded sufficient room for the increase of work, and Addi tional accommodation will be necessary if the orders con tinue to come in as they have .done for the past few months. Carriages »ro made there for all tho vessels fit te 1 out at this port, while in the other shops work is only done for the Government vessels fitted out at the navy yard. The blacksmith and plumber shops, though re cently enlarged, are not yet largo enough for the addi tional work required to be done in them. To give the reader some idea of the numerical strength of the navy-yard “brigade,” we subjoin the rolls of the different departments, from which it wilt be seen that a larger force of men aro now engaged here than has ever been the case in any previous year: Carpenters 502 Sparmakers........... 17 Gun-carriagemakers,, 87 Rigger 5,,,,.,,,,,,,,,, 81 Carpenters’ laborers... 100 Painters... l2o 26 Boat-loaders 140 Plumbers.,. .. 122 Block-makers. Blacksmiths. 191 Dock-men.. 90 Machinists. Joiners.. Caulkers. Oakum spinners 28 Gunner’s crew... 27 Scrapers.,,. 7 Yard Carpenter's gAtig, 6 43 Teamsters. Beainers..,,., Laborers 571 Engineor’smachinists, Yard-men, (watchmen, Wrighters Ac.) Sailmaker?, The quantity of ordnance stored in tho yard is—large enough. It is unnecessary that we should go into de tails, for reasons which must be manifest to everyono. Outside of the largo ship-house there arc twenty.one eight and ten-inch Dahlgrens and five smaller ooes, of six-inch bore. Just opposite, that is, on the outside of the smaller 6hip-house, there are eleven six-inch Dahl grens. There are quite a large number of heavier guna outlie plot of ground east of tlm commandant’s office. The majority of these have been scraped and repainted recently. The eight and ten-inch guns belong to the United States steamer Brooklyn , having been removed from her about tliree weeks since, to permit of her over hauling. They will mostly require new carriages. Large numbers of Daldgren guns have recently ar rived here from Pittsburg. In connection-with this sub ject, we learn that a new proving ground will soon he oc cupied, in the vicinity of Wall’s station, on the Pennsyl vania Railroad. It is designed to use the ground in prov ing the heavy guns now being constructed at the Fort Pitt works, and thus avoid the necessity of unshipping them. In using the proving grounds above Tarontum on. A. V. B. 8., the ordnance is brought back to the arsenal, and stored there uutil ordered to some other point for USC, lot RS the Dalilgren guns are required immediately iu the East, they are not stored. A switch runs out from the road into the proving ground, and the cars containing the guns are pushed out on the sideing, and left there until the guns are unloaded, proved, and reloaded, when the car can be taken Eastward without further delay. As the guns are proved by ten rounds of service charges, the firing takes longer lime than on the ltodman guns, and a heavy cast iron carriage has been constructed for the purpose of mounting them. Yesterday, wliile we stood in the yard, four furniture cars filled with shells were unloaded opposite the ord nance department. We noticed their arrival in Phila delphia a few days since. The timber principally used in the yard is white oak um UCBI itmi vim bo proouroJ for tbp iuirpnGf,. V wrznorly largo supplies of live oak came to us from Florida; but, from obvious causo6, we are no longer in lecelpt of it, aud have, consequently, turned to Delaware and Mary land for a proxy. The white oak of the former generally attains n height of from sixty to eighty feet, and, in this respect, makes an excellent ship timber. Within’the past month or so we have boen getting ex cellent white oak from Chester and other neighboring counties, via the North Pennsylvania Railroad. It is principally brought in planks, varying in thickness from two to six inches. We know of one party in Chester county who is now engaged in filling a contract with the Government for four hundred thousand feet of such tim ber. It Is worth in the forest, before felling, one cent per foot. By the time it is delivered in this city it is ge nerally worth about 535 per thousand feet. Wilmington and New Castle have latterly awakened to a sense of the importance and value of their oak forests, and the result is that such timber lands have considerably risen in value. It takes about two bundled and twenty thousand fctt pf white oak to build one of the new Government gun boats, from which tlio reader elm judge for Idmsclf the total amount consumed since the Navf Department or dered their constructioo. The Wissahickon r which lies just below the navy yard, will probably receive her armament to-day, as, with that exception, she is complete and ready to put to sea. A de scription of her appearance and interior arrangements may be worth Inditing ; The captain’s cabin, which we first entered, has a Con tinental air of neatness and comfort about it, that we had little expected to sec on board a vcssel-of-war. Tho Uoor was covered with Brussels carpet; the furniture, including a pier table, lounge, and reception chairs, was of highly-polished walnut, and the ceiling had evidently been treated to an extra coat of pure white-load, that aWne like Clnua-gloss. On eieli side of the mirror, op posite the door, are bookcases, and behind the lounges ample storage room is provided, in a sort of Burroptitious Avuy, that would scarcely strike a visitor’s notice. Adjoining are the captain’s sleeping apartment, a pan try, storoorom, etc , all fitted up in the walnut fashion, A sufficient amount of light and ventilation is secured by means cf four port#—two on either side of the vessel. Next in order is the ward-room, which contains six double-berthed state-rooms, each of which is fitted up with a cloeet and wash-stand. Below is the storeroom, which is only accessible by means of a hatch. The sin gular and romantic arrangement of having a trap doorto open; through the oilcloth, follows as a necessity. You would not notice it at first, for the trap fits very evenly, And it wau no blundering hand that matched its oilcloth pattern with that upon the floor. Thence we were ushered into the steerage, where the meet? and engineers consort. It invites no description, but is neat and trim to.view. It is immediately adjacent the engine room, through which we pass, and, ascending a perilous ladder, are onco again on deck. The steering apparatus is of solid mahogany and locust. The hide* ropes attached to it arc somewhat of a novelty, and as « tough as oak,” but require to be soaked in oil to be made sufficiently pliable. Passing a bell inscribed— “ United States Gunboat WtssaAtcfcott, John Lynn, buil der, 1861 ” —wc come to a coil of leather hose. In case of fire it is ready to be attached to a pipe from tbo en gine, and will lead to any part of the vessel—even to the powder magazine. The forward berth is chiefly noticea ble as being the sleeping-place of the crew, who repose 111 lianimOCke suspended from the ceiling. In a comer is the doctor’s dispensary, provided with medicine-shelves, and a desk for writing out prescriptions upon, which can be folded away into invisibility with wonderful presti tidigitatical effects. Back a piece is the culinary department—if a cooking stove concealed from view by potß and pans and kettles can lay claim to such a term. Still backward a piece is the general stove-room, with copper tanks for the oil, tumntmo, and paints, which arc treacherously combustible to have aboard a ship. The armament (as we have said above) completes the vessel. We have already described itju these columns, and bave nothing to add to that description. At high water on Saturday next, the new war vessel Miami will be launched at tho navy yard. This is one ofthe new side-wheel tteamera ordered by tbo Govern ment. Tickets for the launch will be issued by Captain Turner, at tho navy yard. At the shipyard of Mr. John Lynn, below the navy yard, the new propellor for the Boston line of steamers is nearly finished, and will be launched on Wednesday next, bhe is to lie called the Barton we believe. After the Barton is fairly off the stocks, another pro peller for the mine Jine will be commenced. Her frame Is now being prflporcd. " Tiie Philadelphia and Erie Railroad— The Leash Confirmed. —Yesterday morning the stock holders of the Philadelphia and Erie Railroad Company held a meeting at their office for the purpose of taking action upon tho proposed lease of tho road to Ul6 Pdttll. sylv&nia B&iiroad Company. The chair was taken by Hon. Ellis Lewis.' Mr. Philip S. Price acted as secretary. The terms of the lease, as modified by the Boards of Directors of the respective companies, were read by the president of the Board of Directors* in a report coining from tiie Board. The report concluded with a resolution ncceptingthc various acts of the Legislature relating to the lease, and confirming and approving the lease and contract, and the sale of the rolling stock to the Penn sylvania Railroad Company. After the reading of the various pipers relating to the lease and contract, Judge Ives and Mr. Dillon were ap pointed tellers to take a stock vote upon tho resolution offered by the Board of Managers, to accept the acts of the Logislnturo, and approve tho lsasa and contract! The meeting then took a recess Until half past twelve o’clock, to allow time for taking the vote. The meeting reorganized at the time named at the ad journment. The tellers reported tlmt 27,515 votes had been cast, all of which were for tho resolution ; so tho lease and contract were unanimously confirmed. The meeting thou adjourned SiMfl die.
