THE DISAPPOINTED
There are two classes of men hi this country
who, have been bitterly disappointed during the
lent year. The one are identified with the re
bellion by open hostility, while thew other class
in connected with it only by secret sympathy:
The _disappointment consists in the fact that
`while preparations were in progress for the
rebellion in the south, secret arrangements
were being made in the north to give the rebels
all the aid and comfort which men could render
and at the same time still maintain a sort of
seeming loyalty to the government. We all
remember the assertions of President BuChanan
during the last months of his administration,
on the subject of the rebellion, and the com
placenoy:ith which he announced his convic
tion ' that he would be the last of the Presi
dentiof the United States—that his adminis
tration would form the last grand chapter in the
hittory of the Republic, as when he' went out
of power, the end of free government would
.
be the triumph of the slavery oligarchy that
had, asserted the authority and set up the
forms of a government in the south. These
boasts and predictions tints made by President
Buollanan, were not Merely the idle conjectures
anctizilly foreshadowing of an old man intoxi
caakiliirith vanity and coirupted by power.—
They were th e opinions of one who had a
knowledge of what was designed by the traitors
by. whom he was Surrounded—the;
so were tho conspirators themselves also disap
pointed, When the withdrawal otthe southern
men;from Congress first startled the country
with tiireal designs of the traitors, tile fact
seemod,tqproduce no other sensation among w
certain islassiithe•north, than that of gratifi
cation and approval. It was deemed one of the
legithinttn result of, the. political defect of the
Dernoiratio,party, that the south should secede
from: the Union ; and this defect was also made
a justificathin - in the ,north for every act which
the reheis Perpetrated, up to the firing on Fort
Butat`ttr, When the traitors suffered tbeir seal
to outstrip their discretion in that act, they
disappointed both their northern allies and
thenitielves, because from that hour, from the
very momept that the first shot boomed and
sped. from Charleston harbor.as a missle Of at
taolvitnd death tollie gallant defenders Of 'their
country's honor hat fort; the whole country
was ariised, and northern sympathy for treason
became the most obnoxious feature in the pro
gramme of the rebellion. It was no longer
safe for the dough•face Lemocracy to insist on
the, right of tha south , to rebel—nor was it a
boast either with the rebels that the masses of
the north Were willing to aid them in any effort
to terdient the adminstration of Abraham Lin
coln frOm peacefully exercising its Constitu-•
tional authority, or of carrying on the business
of goyerneeent as the requirements of the' law
or the loorease of the country's prosperity de
mand., et • '
Thadisappointmentsof these parties, the rebels
of the sou thou the one hand . and their friends in
the north, on the other, has had the effect of
placing ,the struggle in which the government
is engaged in , a nobler position than it could
haveloasibly occupied, had. not this undeistood
alliance been exposed 'and destroyed. It proves
to the liorld that the traitors had other objects
in view than the ..mere rediesS of local wrongs
—that they warred . to 'lclifeve Other purposes
than thetiterntinciPation lbw a union that was
burden:ll4dg 4 ?And .as other disappointments

discoyothe 51‘3P1Pable plan which has been
concocted for their oppresSion and* enslave

to resist, while they are at the same time re- ,

THE STATE ADMINISTRATION.
The readers of the 'I ELI:IRA-PEI will respond
as heartily as we freely coincide with the Erie
Gazette when tt declares that although the
af
fairs were never more faithfully and tfficiently
managed than by our present Governor, Hon.
A. G. Cusrm, yet perhaps no man has ever oc
zupied the position who has been more assidi
°telly and malignantly assailed, or whose acts
and motives have been mote wickedly misrepre
sented. Coming into power a hurt time be
fore the rebellion broke out, and at a period
when - the 'polio of Kt: BIJOHANA'N'S AdMini,-
tration had brought the country to the very
brink of ruin, he had to encounter difficulties
and embarrassments which none of his prede
cessc*Sieltecniredjtciineet. Ainidst his va
:rled and onerous duties, a military system for
;the Commonwealth had to be developed and
Matured whieh, in Itself, impxed labors' and
responsibilities sufficient to occupy his whole
lame. And yet-by dint of judgment, energy
and' perseverenoe,le surmounted every difficul
s
.ty and placed the State in a position which
f,elinited eno3miums of loyal men every
'where. The natierial Executive and various
members of the cabinet, have complimented
on - the .ability he has displayett; and
inewspapers of other States lave spoken in
icommendatroy teems of the Poble spirit man
-llfested by Pennsylvania, through her Chief
Illagistrate, in connection 'With the war for the
preservation and perpetuation of the Union.
.The attacks made upon governor Curtinhave,
foi the most part, been secret, but nut on that
account less bitter and injurious The resolu
Lions introduced Into the - donee by Mr: iiOP-
Fun, a DemocratielitiPresentative from Wash
Ington county, proposing an investigation into
the acts of the' Legislature, are underatood to
be designed to strike a blow at the State Ex-
Ocutive, Westre.gratified to see that the W
ine has been boldly met by Governor CURTIN'S
friends, and that Mr. ARMSTRONG, of Lycoming
County, promptly challenged, by authority of
the Governor, the proposed investigation—thus
imcoveriiigthW real object of the resolutions,
and embarrassing the Democratic leaders, who
hoped to provoke•the opposition of the Repub
licans in the House to the • movement, and
fbereby secure an issue with which to come be
fore the people neat fall. The investigation
Was accordingly granted by an almost unani
mous vote, (only one dissenting,) and we are
confident that it will not only result in a fail-
Ore to convict governor Curtin of any corrupt
'Complications, but in a triumphant acquittal of
any charge upon which to base even a suspi
cion. .
Having suppOrted Governor Curtin fur the
Office he now fills, and strongly recommended
him to our citizens as worthy of their confi
dences and suffrages, it affords us peculiar
pleasure at this time to point to the proofs of
his capacity, idtegrity and ;devotion to the in
terests of the state and country presented by
his official acts during% twelve months of severe
trial.

the following extraordinary statement, on
which it is not necessary to remark at all:
"A few nights ago, the garriblers of Rich
mond held a convention in this city, and after
the fashion of ' the noble refrigerators' of Con
gress, transacted their business in secret ses
sion. We are informed that one hundred and
fifty 'members of the gambling and ' plug'
fraternity were present : that fifty thousand dol
lars were voted and subscribed to as a fraud to carry
the next election for Mayor : and that the nomina
ted as likely to unite the gambling and rowdy
interests of Richmond is an ungrammatical grocer
and whiskey-worm of the name of David T. Saun
ders. We are very much of the opinion tbat,
if matters are not speedily bettered in Rich
mend, the gamblers, , iplugs* and'-the retired
arid'unsavory wislieY dealer they propose as
their candidate will be in the bands of a vigi
lance committee before the date of the next

COMMANDO PORTER% EXPEDITION-DESCRIPTION
•Commander Porter's morterliotllla ii rapidly
preparing for sea at New York: A large part
of the vessels of the fleet have received their
formidable armament, and have started for-the
rendezvous at the South; or are ready to sail.
The twenty heavy mortars which form the
principal armament of the fleet,' *tire cast at
Pittsburg, and are of immense size and
strength. Their avenge weight is over seven
teen thousand pounds, or eight and a half
tons—almost equal to the weight of the ten
inch columblads, which are nearly three times
the length" of the mortars. The diameter, of
the here is thirteen inches. Those with which
Commodore Porter's vessels are provided,
which - may be used alike for sea and land . ser
vice,
are about double the weight and strength
of the "approved" 'English mortars, which
have frequently burst, thOugh comparatively
Small charges of powder were used and short
ranges obtained.
The vessels of the mortar' fleet number
twenty'one, And, with 'the exception of, the
flag-ship, ale sailing vessels. Nearly all of
these are schooners of two or three - hundred
tons buithen. Originally they were fitted out
as war ves4els, and pierced for four or six guns
flteamers cannot be advantageously employed.
Ati almost solid Masa of wood has been built
from the keel to the upper deck. This staunch
groundwork is composed of timbers over one
foot squaro, and twefve in length, interlaced
and firmly fastened. Two or three inches
abovrthe upper deck the "bed" is built, con
gaing of a solid horizontal surface, circular
in form, with a "truck" near it& edge, upon
Which rues rollers bearing a revolving platform.
t lhe great Mortar bed is caieftilly braced, and
supported by the entire strength of the vessel,
so as to bear the recoil of the mortar. The
design is apparently perfect.
The circular platform surmounting the bed
and bearing the mortar carriaga is constructed
Of heavy timbers, and is one footin depth and
nearly twelve (Cain diameter. When in posi
tion for a discharge, it lies flat and firmly on
the bed, but by ingenious mechanism it may be
Made to revolve, in order to aim the mortar in
any direction, or to relight it if the vessel shifts
its position. The chahge of direction is easily
and quickly accomplished. By means of lopr
eccentric axles in the platforms to which layers
Are fitted, the mortar and machinery (velghing
altogether over ten tons) may be raised, and
the weight transferred by the same' movement
to a grpaterinumberofmtetallie i rolleis attaehed
to a franieworkiof iin iddeb sifength tuidee tile
platform. Then, by means of tackle already
rranged, the whole mr.ktmay be moved to its
desired position, and,, instantly, by a reverse
movement, t i ePlaiCed.6' it!theibedl.

fire, with the single exception of those used in
the Rodman Collqmblad, of fifteen-inch bore.
Efetiveen seven and eight thousand of these

In 'addition - to the mortar armament, each
vbeael of the fleet has been provided with two
"long thirty-two's," of.• the best description of
smooth-bore ordnance!*Eacii: of 'these weighs
thirty-seven hundred weight, and throws roUnd
shot and' shell. The vessels are also *tided
with swords, pikes and other necessary weapoits.
The entire fitting out, with the exception of
the mortars, is quite similar to that of oriinaiy
war vessels.
FIRINQ NORTABS.
The mortars are not toys. . Professor Wind
ship will need to practice a king white before
he can lift one. A Benison would find them
Otte as heavy as were the gates of Gaza. They
weigh seventeen thousand pounds. A gentle-
Man has just asked me to describe one for his
benefit; and as there may' be Otheni who have
never seen them, it may not be amiss to make
the attempt: They are shaped like -kettle
denim, or more like half globes. Tbeyntelrom
five to seven' feet in diameter. The chamber
fok the shell is' fifteen inches in' diameter 'and
about two feet deep. They are placed orilkon
Ws 'of great strength, and are' moved to obtain
elevation by gearing. The letter II upon a
horizontal line may represent a mortar upon its
bed-plate.
A mortar in this position would throw twahell
