The enn made of wrought iron; and is of immense ',lie. Exneriments will be ittado again this week.—New York Sun. Capt. Stockton's gun here spoken of, together with his improvements in connection with it, may be classed among the great improvements of the age. The gun itself isa curiosity. his made entirely of wrought iron, highly finished, and is some twelve or fourteen feet in length, with a ball bore twelve inches in diameter, sufficient in capacity for a leaden ball of three hundred lbs. weight, or an iron ball of the weight above men tioned, and achamber somewhat smaller in diameter, calculated, we believe, for a cartridge of twenty-five pounds of powder, enough in power, if rightly confined, to produce a young earthquake. It was calculated by its projector to carry a ball point bhuilt, fir certain exe cution, the distance of three miles. as the experiment above mentioned proves it to have been done. Being of wrought iron, it is of course moth lighter in weight of metal than would neve F•arily be required for one of the same capacity if made of east iron; if indeed one of its capacity:could be cast, and beinghighter, it of course opposes less resistance to the reactive force of the explo sion upon the balhand would be likely from that force to make a greater rebound. To obviate this difficulty or inconvenience, Capt. S. has so contrived a Couple o f heavy timbers in connection with the carriage, as that the round itself fornis them into a double inclined plane, the inclination being made to increase gradually in proportion as the moment urn diminishes. For deck service, Capt. S. has introduced an im proveznent, simple in its2lf, ando`y,t calculated for math ematical precision and certainty in tit,' shot, as well u pan a rough sea and rolling vessel as during a calm. It consists in the application of a lock for firing, to bet work by a plum, which latter is brought to bear upon it by the very roll or motion ofthe vessel, when such motion shall have brought the gun to the right position. In connection with this is a very fine and exact angular in strument, for measuring distances; so that when the ex act powers of the gun shall have licconie learned, in case of firing over the distance above mentioned, the minim' elevation of the piece can be decided upon in a moment. In the old mode of gunnery—sighting with the eye add firing with a math—the roll of the vessel, the dis tance tithe the shot, the time of applying the match, the powder burning, the ball passing, &e., &e., had all to be calculated and adjusted in the mind of the gunner, and there could then be but little certainty upon a rough sea, with the must thoroughly practised gun ners, while mathematical certainty is obtained by the improvements of Capt. Stockton. We can see nothing to prevent a small fast sailing vessel, carrying one or two guns of this description, and the improvemmts cennected with it, proving itself suc cessful against the largest 74, if not indeed a whole fleet of them. While it c ul lbe kept entirely out of the reach ortheir guns,it could bring cow.tToaly to bear upon thorn these instrumenis of terrible destruction.— Baltimore Sun.

On the bast year, much surprise was expressed by planters that Mr. Smith should have succeeded in rai sing sixty-=even bushels aid eivhreen quarts of corn to .ttv , acre.

The land en ‘vbich the present crop is planted was originally poor, arid much exhausted by injurious culti vation. It was thoroughly ploughed, arid menaced with stable manure in proportion of sixty single cart-loads to the acre. The corn was soaked in saltpetre, rolled in gypsum, and planted on a flat surface, in double rows— the sterns eighteen inches apart, in rows of four feet.— Very little use was subsequently made of the hoc. The cultivator was run through it a few times. The luxu riance of the growth kept down the grass, and rendered all further culture unnecessary. The cars are now fill ed; and the crop is considered safe from any vicissitudes of the siia.son. The field has the appearance, in its rich green foliage, of a rigorous growth of a young for est. It is the finest field of corn I have ever beheld; and it is believed by good judges that the product will not full fur short of one hundred bushels per acre.— Charleston Me rot ry. FOR PRESIDENT, JAS. BUCHANAN, Subject to the decision of THIS DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION iCIN Oak) irtorning pint. PHILLIPS Br, SMITH, EDITORS AND PROPRIETORS PITTSBURGH, SATURDAY, AUGUST 12, 1843 THE COMPROSISE.—When we first stated that ne gotiations were on foot between the Whigs and antima sons, to call the two Conventions together, and form a new ticket on which both factions could unite, the Gaz ette indignantly denounced it as a falsehood, and deem ed it 30 absurd as to be scarcely worth a denial. It de clared "THAT THERE WAS NO SUCH DESIGN EN TERTAINED OR THOUGHT OF. rt only exie, in the fruit fa! imagination of the editor: of the, Post"— Here is a denial, plain and positive, that no such design was " entertained or thought of." We knew that this denial was false; we did not make the statement until we were certain of its truth, and being well acquainted with the mendacious character of the Gazette, its denial did not shake our confidence in the truth of the state ment we had made. We reiterated the charge, and when we heard that Mr. Craig contemplated taking a trip to Virginia, we remembered that it was while he was on a similar visit, that the unicn of last year was formed; and we very naturally concluded that his pres ent visit might be but for the purpose of giving his friends another opportunity of coalescing. In this sup position it seems we were mistaken; he had run "once too often on a 17nion ticket," and was not disposed to do so again. It had, however, the good eireot of bring ingfrom Mr. Craig a full history- of tlm attempted re. conciliation of which we spoke, and which the Gazette said had never been "enierlained or thought of." In Mr. Craig's letter we have the information that it was no. only "entertained" and "thought of," bin that the parties had actually entered into negotiations to settle the grounds of Union, and they were only abandoned when he declared lie would entertain no proposition that would sacrifice one of his antimasortie colleagues. The fallowing is Mr. Craig's account of his interview with the grand Plenipotentiaries of the factions: "Well, Mr. Craig," said they, "what do you think of having the two Conventions called together to form a new ticket?" My reply was nearly in dick words:— "If the people should choose to have the Conventions called together, and they should drop my name, I will cheerfully submit." "But," said the gentleman, "sup pose they put you on the ticket?" "Why, then," said I, "I will at once decline. I have already raa once too often on a Union ticket, aad I never will *l9 it again; nor will I consent that one °Filly colic:1;1;0i on the An timasonie tiCket shall be sacrificed." There is the testimony of Neville B. Craig that a u nion teas "thought of," and more, that if he had agreed to the sacrificerf some al th,! anti masonic eamliflatss, he could have "whistled Mr. Brackenridge down the wind with a single breath." These facts must have been known to the editors of the Gazette. No compromise, certainly, would have been made, without acquainting the editors, whose support would be necessary to sustain the new ticket; and yet the Gazette was so regardless of truth as to de clare, that no such arrangement was ever "entertdined or Thought of." What brazen-faced falsehood. How will that editor now attempt to evade the odium of ut tering a wilful falsehood? Were his party afraid to trust him with their plans? We will do him the justice to say, that he is worthy to be trusted in any scheme having for its object the betrayal of friends; and this sacrifice of a portion of the ticket, corresponds so well with his political conduct, that we arc certain they would have found him "a marvellous proper man." The antimasons of the count• have now the Gazette in its true light before them. Since the formation of their ticket it has been assailing the Lodge with uncea sing virulence; it has denounced the ticket supported by the Advocate in the most unmeasured terms of a buse, and after calling them every thing that was vile and worthless, capped the climax of its wrath, with the appalling denunciation that tlwy were Masonic 117tigs! If any one supposed the editor to be sincere, the pres ent developements will dispel his credulity, and show that while that editor was publicly denouncing the "ma sonic whigs," the city clique were secretly plotting the transfer of the Aniimasonic pnrty to these same mem bers of the Lodge. With this statenielit we leay..? it to the citizens of the county to say what confidence can be placed in a journal that will act as the Gazette has done in this matter. E.:7 Mr. CLUIG'S letter, which we publisked yes terday, developed fully the project between the factions to firm a union ticket, and to sacrifice a portion of the two tickets now in the field; but he neglected to give us "more light" respecting the "awful disclosures," nor has he even given the slightest intimation that he will hereafter furnish the public with a full history of the oaths, grips, songs and toasts, as related to him by the renouncing mason, and which he was requested to publi-lt as cool as possible. His rejection of the union proposition has be. 7% of considerable adven t:y.o to his reputation as a consistent antimason, and will do much to clear away the suspicion created by his neglecting to report a bill while in the Legislature for the suppitssion ofextrajudicial oaths. All that is wanting now to establish his honest hostility to the Lodge, is a concise statement of those disclosures. We hope he will publish them previous to his Virginia journey. The papers by yesterday's mad were very bar ren; they did not contain one good murder, suicide, elopement, robbery, or any other incident that would shucl:, astonish or amuse the public. The curiosity about the Philadelphia storm (the first thing, by the be, that that city has furnished for a long time that was worth noticing.) has blown over; the election returns were:not attractive, and every body votes general poli tics a bore in the dog days. It takes bard scraping, scratching and clipping to make up a good paper i n such dull times. But as Sam Patch used to say, "some tLtSg_ can be done as well as others," and our readers hcree no doubt perceived, we have managed to do it is the paper Line, notwithstanding the dull mails. - LAY VIPLIBIN--400beStateOf' tuid A.../ adjoining States, friendly to the election of Hen ry Clay, can be supplied with music otall descriptions. —with flags - and banners fur processions or conventions —by addressing a note to the ettl , nrior, and left at the Whig Reading room, coot,: ut Cli ESNCT and FIFTH street, or at the Whig Head quarters; Boli var House, or to D.

It is unquestionably to be taken as an indication that the system of election eering adopted by the Whigs in 1840, is to be again attempted. Mr. Clay i 9 now advocated as "the Mill Buy of the Slashes." To give force to this idea, there will be miniature "mills" instead of "log cabins," counterfeit bags of grain instead of "cider barrels" and "gourds." And ragged "mill boys" will supply the place in the federal menagerie which the "coons" and "badgers" occupied in 1840. We really pity this "Clay Whig Trumpeter." He has commenced his blowing rather too soon. The editor of the Boston Atlas, who declared that he "would give no rest to the sole of his foot" until Cla l y shall be elected, is all the man we hear of that is fairly started on the Clay pil grimage. Mr. Beck can go before this solitary wayfa rer, encourage him with stirring music, and beck-on him on to victory. What a design for a picture this would be—the Atlas man on his endless pilgrimage, and Mr. Beck the "trumpeter" leading the way!— Poor Beck! Ile will blow his eyes out, long before Clay is elected President. r.ar The storm of last Saturday was almost as heavy at New York as at Philadelphia, although the damage done was not as 'great.

This is honest and it would be to the credit of all die 'ivhig, journals if they would throw offal] disguises and 'come out openly for the only measure for which their party is a consistent advocate. We would expect the editor of the Advocate to have sufficient candor and manliness to follow the example of his Georgia brother, and declare candidly, the only desire the wbigs have for the election of Henry Clay, is to accomplish the establishment of another national monster.

By the bark Chancellor, we have Buie .. los 'hYres dates to the 7th, and Montevideo to the 21st The brig Oriole was repairing; the. Serene, of Bald ' more, had been condemned; the brig Aurora, of Boston, had also been condemned; the Oswego, of Salem, would - sbare the same fate. The bark Hobart, ashore at Montevideo, had not been got off when the Chancel lor left. We extract the following from the British Packet of the 17th June: The news of Commodore Purvis's extraordinary pro- ceedings having reached Corientes, a few of those un grateful demagogues whom the generosity of the Gov ernment allowed to remain unmolested in the province, mistaking the personal acts of the British naval com mander for the execution of the positive orders of his Government raised the standard of revolt against the legal authority. The insurrection, as might have beene,suspected, after the sad experience which the people of that province had undergone, has proved a complete failure. The revolutionists met with no sympathies among the peas antry, and although. from the absence of an adequate armed force they were enabled to seize the capital, they could not find a single man of any standing that would accept the office of Governor; every citizen of respecta bility having emigrated on their approach. Since then they have been attacked by a combined division of Cor renrinos and Entrerianos, under the command of Col- Raimrez and Col. Tacuabe, and completely routed at Curucuatia. As thii victory would lead to the re-occu pation of the capitakand consequently to the restora tion of the legal authorities, Col. Lucas Moreno, who had been detached by General Urquiza with a strong column, had repassed the Uruguay in ord.nr to join his commlnder, and the latter at last advises from Paysan du, was making active preparations to cross the Rio Negro with an imposing force, and, what is more, an abundant supply of spare horses. Indeed, we believe by this time he will have passed that stream; and we have no doubt that Rivera will soon be obliged either to try his fortune in another engagement with the conquer ors of Arroyo Grande, whither he has been already pre ceded by hi friend Baez, and many more of his late tollowets. _ . By the steam packet Cincinnati, Captain Smith, ar ! lived yesterday, we received the St. Aueustine News, of Saturday lust, fromwhich we take ' the following article.,:—Savannah Georgian.

Lassos cur iol.rs.—Las week we !rid time only to notice tie return of Gen. Worth from a eb bit to the Indians near Tampa Bay. In that visit he was ac companie 1 by Gen. Hernandez and the Hon. .1. 11.

Emigrants may now seek a residence here with as much -safety as in any part of the com.try. In thus declarleg our Indian difficulties closed, it see ins proper to allude to him who has effected a result ridesinible. Gen. Worth has not only been the instru mont, hot to his energy and efficiency as an officer, is this glorious and happy event to be attributed. flee protier,i:orA may have ably protracted the ivat, and one ably conibteted it, vet to Gen. W. ahem remains the hoaor of eloslag it. To his unceasing activity and untiring energy is the whole country indebted. Though he was greatly assistedby the gallant officer under his summand, yet his was the genius that inspired the whole. That was a fortunate 'day for bleeding and suffering Florida, on which he was invested with the cammand of tile "Array of the South"—it was a day scarcoly Isis fortunate fir the Treasury, the Country, the kiany, and fir humanity. We trust his efforts here may be known and duly appreciated by his country man, and that he may have cause to regard the day on which he assumed the command in Florida as a fortu nate ono for him. The hist,ire of hit eam:elieas and his success m - ty be read in Li., laconic reply to an iraptiq for his Ilead Quarters, that "they were in his saddle." Adopting this plan instead.of "summer (primers," showed that he knew a soldier's duty, and intended to perform it. The Commissi ):Ivr, appointed by Maine and Massa chusetts to examine ihe claims of the settlers on the St. John and run out their lots, have taken recess.— The weather has been very unfavorableduring the time they have been e riployed,and we understand that they have not made much progress. The business will re quire a much longer time for its completion than has been supposed, as the settlers are more numerous and the claims more difficult to be adjusted than seems to have been anticipated. Cases too arise which the Commissioners cannot dispose of withott additional authority. They will renew their labors die first of September. It is reported that the Boundary Commissioners have disagreed about the meaning of the language of the treaty, and that one of the surveying parties has suspended its operations in consequence. Mr. Webster rendered himself about as odious in ne gotiating, this treaty LIS in the course he pursued during the last war. He permitted Lord Ashburton to take all the British wanted, to unite the British Provinces and to remove us from the range of mountains, a strong po sition, commanding Quebec and but twenty-five miles or a day's march from it. It was a monstrous conces sion, and a sacrifice that Maine will never forget. It was an unnecessary sacrifice too, besides being cruel to us and derogatory to the dal ion. It was worse than sel ling out; the land was given away and a commanding position voluntarily abandoned. Unless the policy of our governnment is changed, that plundering nation, England, will yet obtain the Oregon country, and then she will cover our whole rear. She can now send troops from Liverpool to Quebec in thirty days, at any season of the year, and the treaty opened the way which was before impracticable, without passing over our territory.— Bangor Democrat.

The depth of a shop on Broadway is pierced fur a corridor entrance, and this is lined with counters tend ed by tho prettiest Ilebes of their class. Traversing this alley of temptation, you descend to a marble paved circular court, tented with gaily striped awnings, and embellished with the carvings and gorgeous colors of barbaric architecture. The seats are around a fountain and tine statue of a water nymph stands in the centre, holding above her head, a horn, frbm which issues the water in a jet resembling an umbrella. The baain is rimmed with flowers, the falling water makes the con stant murmur which is needful for tetra-a-Wes, the shy looks in through the lacings of the awning, and the ices are •hnado of real cream." The whole scene is more Oriental than Spanish, and would have been bet ter named a serail or a kiosk than the Alhambra; but it is a "faity spot," (as well as a man can judge who has never seen "fairy land,") and for the price of an ice cream it gives the untravelled anew idea of luxury.

The Bosttin Post points out a curious coincidence iu the history of the Bunker Hill monument. Both its beginning and completion mirk the two epochs of a democratic state administration in Massachusetts. The corner stone was laid in 1325, when Marcus Morton was Lieut Governor, and was elected with Levi Lin coln as the democratic candidate for Governor. Its completion has just been celebrated under an adminis tration democratic in all its branches. With the ex ception of a glimpse of sunshine in 11139, when Morton was elected by a single vote, Massachusetts was under a cloud during all the time that elapsed from the be g-inning to the completion of this great monument. It stands also in the democratic town of Charlestown-- The Post well says: "The spirit of 'Z6 must rejoice in this exemplification that their principles are still the principles of Massachusetts." n -- " There was a case of practical Abolition of Slave ry at Princeton, N. J., a few days since, that reflects more credit upon those concerned, than all the frothy incendiary speeches and poems of rabid agitators will ever deserve. A negro tiam-d James Johnston, who had lived five years at Princeton, was arrested last week ns a fugitive slave from Maryland, and upon a tri al by Jury, the claim was sustained, and Johnson de clared a slave. Much feeling was excited by this de cision, as Johnson bad many friends; but his freedom was finally purchased for six hundred dollars—a wen/- thy lady advancing five hundred of it. fir which John son agreed to work live years.

'An azcident occurred at the Episcopal Trinity church in Washington city, which, though ludicrous in itself, was very serious in its consequences. The Rev. Mr. Stringfellow hud just closed a solemn and impres sive discourse, when ayoung man rose in the choir and screamed "lire! tire!" at the top of his voice. Of course, a general uproar ensued, a rush being made for there from all parts of the house. Several ladies fainted, the children screamed, and the noise was increased by the efirts of the pastor and elders of the church to re store quiet. Order was, however, finally restored, and after the young man alluded to had been pretty roughly expelled from the church, it was ascertained that he had been fur some time partially deranged.

PROSPECTS or rat DEMOCRACY IN GEORGIA.—TtIe Savannah Georgian of the 29th ult. says:—"Letters from correspondents in middle Georgia give us the most cheering assurances that the people are wiibi awoke in sustaining the nominations' for Governor and for Con- . grei.s. One asks what is old Chatham doing? We will tell them in October next, when we hope to raise a shout for Cooper and Stark which will be wafted by our east to distant Murray." The following remarks from that son nd democratic paper, the Washington Globe, of the 7th inst., are so just and appropriate, that the re-publication of them in your paper, will. I this!., afford satisfaction to many of Your readers. The doctrine of ROTATION IN OF- E, is especiaJiv democratic, and the views of the editors of the Globe, will strike every dispassionate mind as particularly worthy, at this time, of the calm consideration of the democrats of Allegheny county.— In calling- attention to this subject, it is proper to ad vert the fact, that among the candidates for the con gr,,sional nomination, is one man ,who never held any Oka. I mean ED IV AIM D. G_tzz.tx, who is neither a judge nor an ca-judge, but simply one of the people. A FRIEND OF ROTATION. "It is highly important that the people should love their Governmmt. This is necessary toreader it effi cient and stable; and the people never can have affection for a Government managed by men who hate them, and who are hated in return. Besides, popular institu tions are more faithfully served by men attached to the popular cause. Such men execute their trusts in spirit and in truth. Capable functionaries who ditlike pop ular sovereignty, although they execute their trusts ac cording to the letter of the law, are yet constantly exert ing the influence and opportunities of the stations they occupy in the Government to change the spirit of its institutions. Besides, the tendency of long tenure of office is to senarate in feeling the incumbents, who receive the taxes, from the masses who pay them.— The spirit of a class springs up in such men. They come to look upon their oifices as property, and their rightto hlod them a personal privilege; and hence they gradually contractajealousy towards those who have nu offices, but who assert an equal right to hold them with those who have. In those with whom uninterrupted indulgence has begotten the idea of a life estate in their stations, and a wish to hand it down a 3 an inheritance, the very stagnation of the authority which grows old with them introduces a corruption— or, at least, a decay of energy—in the organs of the public administration.

COTTON caoes..—The cotton crops of . tlis and the adjoining parishes, have for the last three years been seriously injured either by rust, ball worms, caterpil lars, high water, excessive rains or excessive drongles,, and our planters therefore looked to this year as being the year when nothing was to interfere to prevent then! : from making bully crops. The cold weather in the early part of the season, did trouble them some, by making them plant over two or three times, but after thev lot a "stand" every thing was considered safe. The high water then came and destroyed a great deal el cotton, but that was soon forgotten, as the remainder 1, , fine and promising. Rainy weather then set in, but as a little rain was rather an advantage to the crops in the early part of the season, it was not dreaded until it had nearly drowned the crops. Still there were hopes entertained of a tole!-able crop—a few days of sunny wcatleT would , notwi th :rand ing all this, produce a pretty fair crop, if nothing eLse cam: to prevent it. But no sooner did the sun make his aTipcarance, than the rust and ball worm sin then - is:yes. And, as if these were not enough to ensure a total destruction of the crops, last, hut nt• 1 , •ls• of evils, cams the catter pillars.

The. Williamsport (Md.)
