These professions of good manners, however, will not excuse its habitual practice of falsehood and de traction. We never knew a sneaking scoundrel, and hypocrite, who did not deal in nice phraseology, and who could not turn up his sanctimonious eyes in well feigned piety,even while picking his neighbor's pocket. But this only ren dered the scoundrel the more infamous. Without wishing, however, to make the application to the Commercial, we de sire to impress that paper with the fact that its imitation of Uriati Heap and Iminidab Sleek, will not add to its rep utation. The devil, it is said, can quote scripture for his purpose, and so can whining Abolitionists assume an air of gentility, even while grossly slandering their neighbors, It is merely an as gumption, however, the vail is gener ally so thin as to expose the ghastly features it Is intended to conceal. Refreshing. The Commercial says the "Copper heads" polled fraudulent votes in this city because the Polls were not properly watched by the Shoddyites when we consider that at every ward,borough,and township in the county with one excep tion they had the majority of election of cers, and that scores of Republicans were at every window challenging Deinocratic voters, the statement must certainly be entitled to credit—excuses for a defeat must be nearly run out when this averment is made. Martial Law In Indiana We refer the reader to an article on our outside, giving an idea of the out. rages resorted to by the Abolitionists of that State, to carry its late election.

All the gain is on the side of the Dem ocrat party, and now that the current has fairly set in, It will move with accel t -rated force up to the time the Novem ber vote is taken. The present is a good time, therefore, to present s , mae esti mates of the probable result In several States when the Presidential vote is taken. The whole number 01 votes in th' electoral college, (not counting Tennes see or Louisiana,) is two hundred and thirty one, of which one hundred and sixteen aro required to give a clear ma jority and elect a President. Now, can General McClellan secure one hundred and sixteen votes? We think—nay, we are sure, he can and will; and we give the following estimates as the basis of the faith that Is in US: STATER CEETALN TO TOTE FOR MC CLELW. Missouri New Jersey.. New York....

Ittswith sincere sorrow that we con firm the telegraphic news of yesterday. of the death of Chief Justice or the United States. He died at hismidenc( in Washington, on the 12th inst., in the 83d year of his - age, and thirteenth of the tenure of his high office. Well may the nation—and this sentiment will, for a moment, again make us grid—lnman) at the bereavement. A great andigood man has gone from us, and gone, too, when we most needed the influence of such men; and, we repeat, in every State of the ancient Union—in the coun cil chambers, and camps of the North and 'of the South, will there be genuine sorrow and strong expression of respect for his memory. Twenty-nine years ago Mr. Taney was Taney has survived every member of elevated to the Chief Jnsticeship, as the successor of John Marshall, who had held the office for more than thirty years the Supreme Court, except Judge Wayne, who was on the benoh at the time of his appointment—Story, Thomp son, McLean, Baldwin, and Barbour. He administered the oath of office to seven Presidents. His has been a long career of usefulness and hon or, ana now, in this agony of our Federal system, one feels, in recording his death, that another link is broken, and, as it were, one more rivet torn out of the great machine of Government, and that, too, when it most needed the close cohesion which such influence gave. There was, so long as this great con'stitutional jurist lived, a confidence, a sorb of repose, a faith that there was still some anchorage, which sustained the most despondent. It is all gone now. While the horrors of violent deaths are around us, and in the very crisis of the fiercest civil strife the modern world has even seen, amid the clangor of arms an( the hideous shout of triumph, the quiet' peaceful death of this old man, close to the edge of battle, is, and will be felt to bo most impressive. There must have been thoughts of sorrow for those he left behind to witness continuous mis ery, in the heart of the dying man. But there was no reproach. His had been the function, and nobly had he discharg ed it, to hold aloft the Law and the Con stitution; and though the hand had be come feeble and the frame wasted, the intellect and the moral power survived to the last moment of fife, and the Chief Justice died, es he lived, a brave, un daunted, truly "Loyal" man, for it was the Law he was faithful to. And then, too, k.t every lover of his country re member with gratitude, in this moment of national sorrow, what may be described as Chief Justice Taney's last prom • nent public act—his assertion in the case of the Maryland Habeas corpus, of the right of the Judiciary to give a hearing to a prisoner held by military authority. • It was a protest—for the defiance of law o py the Executive allowed it to be noth . ing etae—of the real Chief Magistrate of the Nation, against the worst, because the Initiate violation, of the Constitu— tion. Let us honor him for his whole career. Let us especially honor him for the closing act of it. Sincerely anxious to mingle no word of unkindness with these words of pr aise, it la still impossi. ble for us to be silent as to the future Although the function of Federal Chie Justice, under existing circumstances, and, with the necessary decadence o judicial independence which war and its mischievous influence evolve, will be far less Important and dignified than it has been, still as a mere matter of pic- turesque Interest, we may be excused for some solicitude as to the successor o .Tay, and Rutledge, and Ellsworth, and Marshall and Taney. Who will be ap pointed by Mr. Lincoln, is a question on the lips of every thoughtful man. It is beyond the acope of our conjectures except in this, that be it who it may, pure judicial independence will hardly be required as a qualification. The Ad- ministration has too many unadjudicated political questions to permit it to be in dependent tteelf ; and we look forward to one more dismal spectacle in our day of ugly visions of the Federal Judiciary tottering to the grave, which threatens to swallow up all that once was dear to Thus much have we ventured to say, .. 4 •• a under an impulse which, we are not ashamed to confess, has moved us.

Editor of the "Commercial" Dirks SIR: In the editorial columns of your paper thisimorning, I find this sentence. "Their candidates for Con -grew in this _distris3t (Hopkins) made a speech at the McClellan Headquarters in thirreitY, on the evening of September 17th, in, which he said, speaking of the army, they are an 'armed' rabble and mob whom I will not legalize by daring an army. We have the Dames of some of the most reliable men of this commu nity who are prepared to foster this 'dec laratim upon Hopkins in ease he denies it." 1 Now Sir, Ido deny it emphatically and challenge you to the proof. So long as I was a• candidate, I took no special trouble to correct any misrepresentations that were made about me by opponents in the heat of the contest. But now that tha electiom is over lam unwilling to submit to a misstatement that does me such gross injustice. I have always entertained. the• highest respect for the bravo army who have been fight— ing the battles of our country and have invariably spoken in terms of praise and gratitude of their patriotism and valor. No "reliable man of this community," or elsewhere can truthfully say that he ever heard Me "in speaking of the army" use the language SAtributed to me in your paper, or anything which any fair man could so conatztic The meeting to which your article re fer 4 was ealled, to eelebfate the anniver sary of the - adoption' of the Constitution. I spoke of the nen who formed that sa cred instrument of the circumstances tinder which iewas idopted, and of the object sought to be attained by especial ly remarking upon the desire of its now- Pre "to secure the blessings of liberty to themselves and their posterity." 'Wend to the several provisions by which they sought to "secure the blessings of liberty." Commenting upon the various violations of those provisions, and the consequent dangers which threaten the liberties of the people. 1 spoke of the right of writ of habeas ooTpts, of the right of free speech, and free press; of the right of every citisen te, have his person free from arrest and his house exempt from invasion or intrusion unless upon law ful warrant issued upon information &c., .of the right of trial byjary, &c. I point ed out the violations of all these safe guards, and spoke, among other things, of the arbitrary arrests that had been made, and said that those persous who would batter in a man s dooro at mid night and drag him from his family and home, were committing an unauthorized and unlawful act, and hence - were no more than an armed mob, and their acts could not be legalized by calling them soldiers. This is the only thing in the whole course of my speech which could be distorted into the language your article attributes to me. To say that a soldier or a squad of soldiers have committed an illegal act Is no more of a reflection upon the army, than to call a man a quack, a pettifogger, or a ' scribbler. Would denunciation of the whole class of physicians, lawyers, oranthors. A simple statement of the language I did use and the connection In 'which it was used is sufficient to show that the inference you have put upon it is as illogical as it is unjust. I have no disposition or de. sire for a newspaper controversy; but it is due to myself and to truth to make this statement, and I trust to your cour— tesy and fairness to publish it. Respectfully yours, Jasiss H. Hontras. The Relative Dentruotiveneas of Shot and Shell. M. Dufour, a surgeon of the French navy, nas published an account of the wounded seamen who were brought to the naval hospital at Cherbourg, after the engagement between the Alabama and the Kearsarge. One of the first re marks suggested by reading M. Du— four's statement is that the greater num ber of wounds were caused, not by can non shot or shell, but by splinters from the ship. It has been observed by na val surgeons that since the use of shells in naval engagements the destruction of human life has been much greater than when round shot alone was used. It has been learned from the same sea engage ment that it is an error to suppose that the plating of wooden ships protects the crew from the splinters scattered abou•. The increasing calibre of the gulls used in modern warfare require a greater number of men to serve them, and it follows that one shot may cause more destruction by striking a compact group 'of men. Thitrlvas the case on board the Alabama, A shell fired from the Kear- Barge falling among nineteen men who were serving one of the Alabama's guns, killed or wounded fifteen. The Alabama fired altogether 270, shots, of which the greater number were fired - front howit zers. There Were hut 10 shots fired by the Kearsarge. lrobody appears to have been killed by the round shot, and the Injury was inflicted directly or indirect. ly by the shells. The captain ot the Kearsarge very soon ceased firing froin his four 82 pounders which produced lit tle effect, and used hitetwo 11-Inch how itzers and a rifled 20-pounder placed for ward.

The guns are moulded solid throughout. The f.ection around the bore is moulded first, and by each sub sequent heat the moulds are extended outward. Each section is , composed of thiee I rings; the first has a diameter of ten inches, with a hole in the center. This ring is accurately rurned to fit inside of a second, which is also turned to fit the third' and outside ring, each course be ing sir inches thick. This furnishes not only purity in the metal, but the most perfect solidity throughout the entire mass. The hole at the center permits the impurities cf the metal to be worked out from the inner rings, while being heated and hammered, while the scales which may accumulate on the outer rings are permitted to fall''outward as the weld extendstowards the circumfer ence.
