NEAR MAR W 2
CITY OF N.LitalliitUßG,
The Rebels in Misery.
A correspondent of the Charleston Mercury,
writing from Richmond, tells tales out of school
thus:
" There is universal complaint made of the
want of efficiency in the Commissariat Depart
ment. It was felt severely and , immediately
after the battle of Manassas. Our brave troops,
particularly the sick and wounded, suffered
greatly. Some of the troops were without pro
visions from Sunday breakfast until Tuesday
after the battle. Since then it has occurred
more than once that many have been without
food for twenty-lour hours. Great indigna
tion is felt throughout the army and in
Richmond on account of this on us and
unendurable inefficiency. The ency of
the army is impaired, and even its move
ments retarded, through the want of .sup
plies. I learn it has been and is a matter
of bitter complaint and earnest remonstrance by
the Commanding Generals. And not only is
there a want of sufficient quantity, but the pro
visions are not good—are, In fact, positively
unwholesome. It is not only so at the camps
in Fairfax county, where the army is large, but
also in other camps. A great deal of sickness is
the natural consequence. One regiment near
Acquia Creek has lust sixty men, and another
thirty. The weather has been intensely hot,
and the great mortality is attributed by the
troops to bad providuns, unsuitable at any time,
especially during such a season.
" The country people, camp traders, sutlers
too, in the neighborhood of Fredericksburg and
Acquia Creek, charge the poor fellows most ex
tortionate prices for everything they buy. I
have heard it is the same in other places, but
that it is there lam assured by the best au
thority.
" And not only is the department of subsis
tence ill-managed, but the equally indispens
able department to the mobility and effi
ciency, transportation, is also lamentably be
hind. It was the condition of these two
branches of the army which prevented General
Beauregard from advancing to meet McDowell,
as he had intended. It was his unprepared
ness in these which prevented him from fol
lowing the defeated enemy from Manassas. It
is these which now paralyze him, prevent a
forward movement, and is daily losing the
south the substantial fruits of the great victory.
Beauregard has used superhuman exertions, and
struggled against terrible and unappreciated
difficulties and discouragements. His great
determination, and the pluck of his troops, have
accomplished wonders. But the Executive via
inertia is a huge obstacle to success, and the pub
lic interest peremptorily requires that no man,
or set of men, shoulJ stand in the way."
Luther's Residence at Wittenberg.
Ascending a rough, neglected stairway, I en
tered the room in which Luther resided after
his marriage. His old furniture is still there.
There is a table on which he wrote—the chair
he sea t wham
he to an conver-ea with - ma -Calm
rina—all chipped and sliced,by Vandal travel
ent There, too, lit the old large stove, whose
plates are covered with figures of the four even
gelists, cast after devices by Luther himself.
That, fortunately, cannot be cut into chips. A
little case protected by glass doors, contains a
number of relics, such as specimens of his hand
writing, some old documents and embroidery
wrought by his wife. There are fragments of
a drinking glass, said to have been broken by
Peter the Great. When a young man he visit
ed Wittenberg, and desired 'o carry away the
glass, but being refused permission, he dash -d
it in pieces ou the floor—an act worthy of this
haugh y and paesionate Czar.
There, too, is a beer mug of large size, which
thiee centuries have not changed the Ger
man's devotion to his favorite beverage. Over
the door is a scrawl in chalk, protected by glass
which may be guessed to be "Peter," and tra
dition says was written by the Czar. If so, the
scribbling propetkity is not confinvi. to Ameri
cans. In an adjoining room is the de k k from
which the great Reformer lectured. On its
front are four circular paintings, representing
the four faculties of the university—law, medi
cine, theology and philosophy, The latter
contains a fine female figure which my guide
said was a likeness of Catharine, showing alike
Luther's taste and affection. On the walls are
portraits by Crenach. There is also a cast
taken after Luther's death.
I was looking at these momnments . , and ask
ed where is Luther's when my guide pointed to
a plain stone at my feet, which was a part of
the floor, whereon was the name of Luther.
Itemoving this there is a neat bronze tablet,
with his name, and date of birth and death.
Such is the simple monument; a simular one

Coming Back to First Principles.
The first cannon ever used by the English
were made of stout wooden staves hooped with
iron. At the battle of Cressy, guns thus made
barrel wise were used ; but they generally burst
ed after a few dischat gee, doing quite as much
execution upon their owners as upon the enemy.
The Griffin guns, now being largely made at
Phoenixville, in this State, for the use of the
Government, are got up upon the same princi
ple ; but they are considerably improved in re
spect to strength. The Griffin guns are made
by laying a sufficient number of strips of iron
together to form the lining of the bore of the
cannon. When the irou staves are thus "set
up," long rods of the toughest and best iron,
and made flat, are rolled closely together around
the staves at white heat, and in contracting dur
the operation of cooling, they of coursed bind
with very great force. Six layers of hoops
are laid on in this manner, the hoops running
obliquely, and the direction of the oblique
ness alternating with each layer. After
these wrappers have all been put on, the mass
is heated to a white heat, and passed through a
powerful rolling mill until the whole is welded
together. The trunnions, or arms, are then
welded on. The ooteide of the weapon is finish
ed off on the lathe, the inside is bored out and
rifled, and the cannon is complete. Any person
with the first idea of mechanism will see at a
glance the immense advantage in respect to
strength possessed by these guns over the ordi
nary cast-iron affairs. The tough fibres of the
iron rnn just in the direction in which they are
needed to meet the explosive force of the pow
der ; and there is about as much difference be
tween their strength and that of ordinary can
non, as there is between& Yankee bucket turned
out of the solid wood, and without hoops, and an
oaken vessel well finished with stout iron bands.

described, should be proof against btu 2l4 4-7 -

IMPORTANT FROM KENTUCKY
It is understood in Frankfort that Governor
Magoffin refusns to play into the hands of the
the rabid secessionists ; that he has had a quar
rel with Breckinridge and refuses to demand the
breaking up of the United States camp in Giw
rad county, and declares he will submit to the
will of the majority of the people of Kentucky,
as may be expressed through the Legislature.
"FItANICFORT, Sept. S.—Go*. Magoffin has
privately declared to several members of the
Legislature his determination to sustain the
action of the Legislature, whatever it may be,
to the extent of his power. Neither House has
yet done anything offichlly, except the organi
zation of the lower House.
"The Senate is occupied in settlfrig contested
seats, but I am assured that the Legislature
will abandon the neutrality position, vote to
raise the State's quota of troops, and assume
her portion of the military tan levy, without
putting the government to the trouble of col
lecting it. Kentucky is all right. This may
be, relied upon."
