THE PITTSBURGH POST: THURSDAY MORNING. DTX~!F,MRB!B jj 1863.
LOYALTY THAT PAY’S
John P. Hale, Senator from New
.Hampshire is one of the most intensely
loyal Abolitionists in the country, and is,
besides an occasional lecturer upon public
and private morality. Last session, on
one occasion he wept quite copiously
over the degeneracy of the times, observ
ing that out* institutions were in more
danger from .corruption in our public
servants, than they were from the rebels
; in arms. In fact the New Hampshire
Senator was quite equal to Pecksniff in
his lamentations over the decline ot pub
He virtue iif high places. From recent
developments, however, it appears that
Hale, in his dissertation upon the degen
eracy of the times, web only speaking in
a pickwikian sense indalgingin one of bis
accustomed bits of pleasantry. It turns
out that this same wag of a U. S. Sen
ator waa not long since engaged in secur
ing tbe release from a common jail of a
person charged with having oommitted a
crime against the Government. For this
little service he received the comfortable
sum of three thousand dollars. Hale's
justification is that he was acting as an
Attorney and not qs a Senator in this
business, which we consider another of
his jokes; for who in the name of Black
stone ever heard of a three thoosand
‘dollar retainer, in such a case as
the one in question. It was the Senator
who was engaged; hia influence us a
Senator, not hia limited ability as an
Attorney was what was required to rescue
a fellow from punishment who stood
charged with having committed a seriore
crime against the Government. It was
his political and not his legal influence
which was wanted; it was to keep the
accused clear of the court that Mr.
Hale wbb employed. He obtained the
money the culprit goes clear. For such
an act, twenty years ago, a Senator
would have becu expelled forthwith.
Now we suppose that Mr. Hale will
continue to favor arbitrary arrests, the
suspension of tho h-abeas corpus, and all
soch measures, and will thea slip arcund
by eome back door to liberate in pri
vate those whom he denounces in public
HEENAN AND KINO.
Yesterday’s Commercial editorially al
luding to tbe refusal of eome of the fancy
to give up bets made apon Eeenan re
marks :
‘ ‘At any rate, nothing will bo done in the
way of {settlement until Heenan himself.-
aud bis friends on the other side, can be
officially heard from. In all the grog
genes about town “the mill" continues
to be the eole topic of conversation.
Even the recent advance in tbe price of
liquorß, from six to ten cents per horn,
is lost sight of. 1
This last sentence, about the advance
of “nips" from six to ten cents each,
sheds a great deal of light upon many
things, heretofore unac-cn-ictable, wkirh
have appeared in the editorials oi tlu
Commercial. The queer things it printed
about its “gifted minds;" its incoherent
aud mazy lucubrations about nepotism,
and its muddy definitions the other
day, of Government demonstrated that
there was a screw lose somewhere. But
ft is ail exprainea, suucg t rct
potations have done their work. Nor
will the rise from “six cents to ten" we
fear prevent our estimable tut weak
neighbor from indulging in potations pot
tle deep.

To steal away his brains."
GOOD NEWS Fft Oil THE ARMY,
Although wo have no visitors to an
nounce, we have wbat is almost as good,
thedetormination of our veteran troops to
reinlist for another term of three years.
It is reported upon good authority that
two thirds of the Army of the Potomac
have accepted the bounty and furloughs
tendered there is reason to be
lieve that the same is true, of Generals
Grant’s army. The nation i 3 thus in
sured against the possibility of the dis
bandment of any of the divisions of our
veteran armies. We say divisions, be
cause the organizations of onr grand
armies are yet safe, as not over one fourih
of the troops now in the field will bo en
titled to their discharge daring the comiDg
year. The men who are re-enlißtiDg are
those who volunteered during tho first
year cf the war. It speaks well for onr
military service that so many men who
entered the army during a period of gen
eral enthusiasm and excitement, should be
willing to remain in it after three years
hard Bervice had dissipated all the romance
there was connected with life in the tented
field.
These re-enlistments may have some
thing to do with enforcement of the draft
on the 6th of Janaary. The ostensible
reason for the call for volunteers was to
fill np the gaps in the ranks of our armies
caused by tho expiration of the term of
enlistment of so many of our Boldterß. it
the soldiers generally re enlist the admin
istration may conclude that a draft will
not be necessary, especially in view of the
fact that over a hundred thousand volun
teers will have been secured by the time
a draft was to have taken place.
OKS. OBAST FOB PRESIDENT.
The New York Herald pitches into the
oounlr/ pross for objecting to its candi
date lor President. Oar neighbor of the
Commercial comes in for the following
share:
“The Pittsburgh Commercial , another
mean little paper, published in a smoky
little town, and apparently verymuch be
fogged, speake of General Grant’s fame
as a ‘mere momentary or superficial prom
inence.’ The Commercial has evident
ly not yet heard of Vioksbnrg and Chat
tanooga, and when the news of those sub
lime military exploits reaches Pittsburgh
the foggy little paper will sing a differ
ent tnoe.”
TERRIBLE BiUROAII ACCIDENT.
Fonr Peraoiu* Hilled and Fifteen
Wounded.
The Washington Chronicle learns that
about six o'clock ou Saturday evening,
tbe train from Brandy Station ran off the
embankment at Bristow Station, destroy
ing several yards of the track, the locomo
tive, and four cars, besides killing four
men and wounding fifteen. At tbe time
of the accident, the train was moving at
the rate of at least 20 miles an hour. At
Briatow Station, where there is a switch,
the track is in bad condition. Within
eighty yards ot the scene of the accident
is a bridge of considerable size, which
must have given way had the train pro
ceeded farther, thus rendering certain the
loss of at leasfrone hundred lives.
It is stated as tike cause of the catastto-
pbe, that the switch haviog become nn
moveable farther than to a certain point,
the person whose duty it waa to change it
ran up the track towards the coming
train and attempted to stop it; but being
unprovided w.th either lantern or toroh,
hiß efforts were fruitless. «
The following are of the kill
ed and wounded :—% -V

of Philadelphia, andYormerly a lieutenant

LATF. EUROPEAN NEWB.
Laaocli of nn Iron-Cla<l.
An important addition was made on
Dec. 12 to the Royal Navy by the launch
of the armor cased screw steam-frigate
Minotaur, at the premised of the Thames
Ironworks and Shipbuilding Company,
Blackwell. The Minotaur is of the same
**ize and class as the Agincourt, now
building for the Government by Messrs
Laird of Birkenhead, and the Northum
berland, building at Millwall. The fol
lowing are the dimensions of the veeßel •
Length between perpendiculars, 400 ft.

■ engines are of 1,350 horse power, and are
iully calculated to perform a speed of
14 kucia an boor, nothwithstanding the
immense nzc and weight of the vessel.
Her armor plates are 6$ inches thick,
>.»r one inch thicker than in vessels of the
Warrior class, and her backing is compos
ed ot 1 inch teak limber. The armor of
the Warrior extends only over a length
of 212 feet, the entire length of that vea

D° compiru-ly irt'U-ciad from stem to
aieru, leaving no part of the vessel unpro
tected. About one-third of her armor
nus already been bolted to her sides. Her
armament will consist of 6*> gnus of large
calibre, the descnpMon of which has not
yet beeu determined on, the Admiralty

Th,- Smaalilni; Power* of the Arm
strong «oo Pounder
From the London Timon
"I he - mashing powers of Sir William
Armstrong's 600-pounder shnnt-gnn were
tested on Friday (Dec. 11,) at Shoebnry
Dess against the Warrior boating target.
The target is an exact counterpart of a
section of the Warrior’s side, and meas
ures 13 feet long by 10 feet in bight, It
is constructed of iron plates of the best
homogenous metal, 4i inches thick, bolt
ed to a backing of teak 13 inches in
depth. Behind this come two sets of jj
inch plates, rivited to massive ribs of f
iron—the whole being shored np by
slanting beams of fir ol immense thick
ness. The target was moored at 1,000
yards distance from the firing poinls of
the GOO BDd 300 pounder Armstrongs, and
wooden tarkets for ascertaining the cor
rect elevation for this range floated close
by, a little clear of the iron one.
The first shot from “Big Will” was a
dummy oast-iron shell, weighing 600
pounds, and was leveled with each uner
ring aim ot the wooden target as to smash
it literally to powder. The elevation of
the piece in this instance was 2= 6 , and
the charge of .0 pounds. The next shot
waß a steel shell, wilh a cast iron-bead,
weighing 610 pounds, and containing 24
pounds ol powder, which is only four
fifths of its normal charge. Before firing
this shot a consultation’took place among
the artillerists present ae to the elevation
to be given, it having been discovered
that the woodeu target demolished by
the first, shot had been moored at 1,020
yards instead of 1,000, as had been origi
nally intended. After some discussion,
the gun was fired at 29= 10' elevatiop,
the shell passing just over the top of the
target a little to tho right of the central
iine.
The next two shots—live steel shells
similar in all respects to No. 2—demon
strated in a most surprising way the won
derful accuracy of the gun in obeying tbe
Brightest change in elevation. For shot
No. 3 the piece was depressed to 2= 3',
the shell passing through the exact center
of the top of the target, and carrying away
a piece of the wood framing of a semi
circular shape. The fourth shot was fired
at only 3 less elevation, and struck the
target as near the center as possible,
making daylight through it, and exploding
at the very moment ot impact. A hole
2ft. by 20in. yawned in the 4*in. plate,
level with and a few inches on the left of
the bull a eye The teak backing was
splintered into fragments from the size of
the cccoanut to the merest fiber, and the
4 3, p.fttesacd onft ol the ribs were com
pletely torn away like so much paper In
front, below the hole, there lay a huge
rnase of iron plate, weighing three or four
hundred weight, and looking like a piece
of crumpled b ack rag. The plate above
the one which was pierced was started
from its place and bulged outward, nearly
the whole ot the Lolls hoiding it to the
target being broken away.
In tact, ail present allowed that sinoe
■he great, battle ol gun versns plate had
began to be waged, there had never been
such a complete triumph tor the former
combatant, At first it had been intend
ed to Iry the effects of the 600 pounder
upon the Warrior target at 2,000 yards, bnt
the first blow al 1,000 yards so disabled it
as to render a new target necessary. On
returning to the firiDg point the .300
jounder was next tried —lour shots being
tired; bnt owipg to several causes only one
of them took effect, striking the right top
corner of the plate, and smashing but not
penetrating it, owing to the target having
seen slewed around to an angle of nearly
40 degrees with the line ot fire by the
fourth shell from “Big Will.” This con
cluded the firing for the day.

land University, died at his residence In
