LAUD WARRANTS STOLEN.
About the 1st of February last, was stolen from me,
out of niv baggage car at the Depot in this place, a
sauUl Tin Box containing TWO LAND WARRANTS,
and other articles. The Warrants were both issued
to Margaret Barnes, widow of Dorse Barnes, and were
for Eightj Acres each, the lirst and second issue to
soldiers of 181'.'. The date and No. I do not recollect.
There was no assignment or writing on the back of
either.
This is to give notice to the public that 1 intend to
file a caveat in the General Land Office to prevent any
person from locating said warrants, and for the pur
pose of obtaining duplicates of the same.

RIFLED CANNON AT MONTEBELLO.
Detailed information which lias been received
from the seat of war relative to the slight artillery
action near Yalenza, in which the rifled four
1'ou rulers were first brought into action, lias afford
ed great satisfaction to military men, and has quiet
ed many apprehensions, by demonstrating the
practical utility and inuiense superiority of the
new arm. The range was over 2,500 metres,
(2,784 yards.) upwards of a mile and a half. The
accuracy of fire was no less surprising than the
range, and the destructive effect was still more
marvelous. Those who have witnessed the experi
ments at Vincennes, when tbe solid masonry for
tifications were shattered by a few rounds, and
yards of stone revetment were tumbled down,
were scarcely prepared for the results obtained at
Yalenza agaist earthworks. After five rounds,
the fortifications of the Austrians were reduced to
ruins. It is believed that these effects were due
mainly to tlie long range, and that at short
distances the fire would have been far less destruc
tive, as the shot would have made a clean hole.
To understand fully the advantages of the rifled
gun, it should be remembered that the Napoleon
cannon a light twelve-pounder cannot be relied
upon for ranges beyond one thousand yards, and
that the infantry rifles will not carry more than
eight hundred yards with accurac3r. The French
authorities have represented to an officer of a
foreign army that they have two hundred of these
rifled cannon in Piedmont, and here an artillery
officer said they had twenty batteries or one hun
dred and twenty guns There is good reason,
however, to believe that both statements are exag
gerated, and I had evidence to-day that the re
sources of France in modern artillery are exhaust
ed. This morning the batteries that were embark
ed were all smooth-bored guns- I examined one
of them, and found, to my surprise, that it was
an eight-pounder, cast at Toulouse, November 14,
1851, and engraved with the Republican motto
"Liberte, Egalitc, Fraternite," and near the
muzzel with the name of a French victory, Bau
tzen. This fact speaks volumes; aud proves that,
with all the progress which has been made during
the last eight years, and the expenditures during
the Russian war to rovide specimens of the
new arm, the re-organization of the French artille
ry is not sufficiently advanced for a great European
war. Still it is believed that in rifled guns she
possesses a great superiority over Austria who is
said to have none with her armies, and only a few,
after the Swedish systeoa, in her fortified towns.
Indeed, it is stated here, in military circles, that
if it bad not been for the superior range and ac
curacy of the four guns which General Forey
opened upon the Austrians at Montebello. the
result would have been very different, and the
Allies would have been compelled to give way
before the deadly effects of the Tyrolese rifles,
which wounded the colonels of the four regiments
engaged, and thinned the ranks of the officers to
to an extent to undeceive many as to the nature of
ihe contest.
The land of the sugar cane is the soil which
yields the acid fruits; love, true love to God, al
ways makes a man bold and uncompromising.
Fanny Fern says she ''once had a narrow escape
from being a minister's wife." If she had a more
narrow escape than the minister, we are much
mistaken.

POPTTT.AH TETrr.TNG TN E5GLAWP.
We copy the following from the Loudon
correspondent of the National Intelligencer:
Although the present condition of England is
a serious one in cousequence of tbe continental
war, yet there scarcely ever was a time when the
course of duty in governing was more distinctly
marked, or when a Ministry possessing a majority
and steadily pursuing that course could count with
more confidence on the support of Parliament and
of the nation. The country desires a coiitinuancc
of peace; it desires a vigilant attention to the
national defences; and it wishes for a measure of
reform in the representation. If the Liberal
members of the new Parliament are able and willing
to agree on these three subjects, aud will uuite in
doing so, they are perfectly competent to govern
the country, and they will be supported if they
undertake the highly responsible duty. We shall
be agreeably surprised if, in the event of the
Liberals refusing to unite to carry out these objects,
the Conservatives should undertake to do so, and
will do it in such a manner as will secure the
support of the country. Some of the daily journals
unequivocally declare that Lord Derby is prepared
to do this.
As to the question of peace and neutrality, tbe
universal heart of the country seems to be more
determined to maintain both than we remember
it to have ever been upon any previous occasion.
Notwithstanding her Majesty's proclamation upon
the subject, which seems to JLave abundantly
satisfied, the public so far as the present is concerned,
there is a very growing desire that something
should be known respecting the future; if, in the
contingencies of that future, England should be
forced to abandon her neutrality and mingle in the
deadly strife. There is a good deal known publicly
respecting the leaning of influential members of
the present Ministry towards Austria, and there is
a rapidly growing desire that England should
boldly proclaim to the world that, in the event of
her being compelled to draw the sword, it should
not be in favor of Austria, but in behalf of Italy.
This would, however, be in opposition to any
professed intention of neutrality, and would at
once destroy the possibility of neutrality being
maintained. We trust to the watchful care of
the House of Commons to keep the pulse both
of the Cabinet aud the Court iu unison with
that of the public.
As to the national defences of the country; well
who can remember the commencement of the
present century, when the threats of Napoleon I
and the great preparations by France ibr the
invasion of England caused tens of thousands of
men to go to bed at night with an impression that
they should probably be roused from their slumbers
by the blazing of beacons along the coast arid
across the country, the tolling of alarm bells in
every village, and theory "the French have landed;"
we, who remember this and shared in it, do not
think the desire to arm and defend the country in
every way and to the last extremity was greater
then than it is at the present moment. Then
every man who could bear arms was a soldier, and
took his place in some division or other of the army
en masse, whilst even the elder boys were attached
to the wagon train to convey the women and
children and infirm old men to a place of security.
At this time there is a uniform desire throughout
England to establish everywhere volunteer rifle
corps, and the youth of England are entering with
alacrity and zeal into the duty of taking part in
the national defence.

Perished thus the luckless Digger,
Perished, too, from Drinking whiskey
Strychnine whiskey, sharp as lightning,
Ruin blue and minnie rifle,
Knock 'em stiff and flaming red-eye
Such as kill 'em at the counter,
Forty rods or any distance.
Perished thus the wretched Injin,
By imbibing strychnine whiskey,
Sold by some confounded bummer
At three cents a glass or cheaper,
Strychnine whiskey whiskey strychnine.

"You are welcome to it, I'm sure, wliat is it ?"

THE LATE CYRUS W. FIELD.
No event of late years more strikingly illustrates
the transitory character of human glory than the
grand ovation which was given a year ago in tbe
North to the pafrons of the Atlantic Telegraph,
but which has sunk almost as deeply in the waves
of oblivion as the Telegraph aforesaid in the briny
waters of the Atlantic. Some recent talk in
England of reviving the project has in a very faint
degree galvanized the defunct interest of the
public, and oar own attention has been slightly
stimulated by a newspaper article apologetic of
Cyrus W. Field's participation in the New York
celebration, which it is now alleged was compulsory,
and did extreme violence to the shrinking sensi
ti vness of that constitutionally retiringand morbidly
modest benefactor of mankind. It is hardly worth
while resvrrcctin; either the Atlantic Telegraph
or the excellent Cyrus W. Field at this late hour
of the day. The gigantic harp of a single string
lies voiceless in the deep caves of ocean. There
ia no use in sympathizing with the Telegraph, but
those who have tears to shed, should give them
freely to Field. Up to the moment of the incuba
tion of the Atlantic Telegraph, Cyrus W. Field
had been an-innocuous aud esteemed member of
society. He was known as a respectable trades
man, a kind husband, an affectionate father, and,
in the eloquent language of a panegrist of the lato
lamented Louis Philippi, "a very nice man." But
the Atlantic Telegraph changed all this. Some
inscrutable decree of Fate extracted Field from
his obscure position in the social framework, and
involved him inextricably with the Atlantic
Telegraph. Other men claimed the paternity of
that sea monster. Morse, the begetter of magnetic
communications, had of course often demonstrated
the practicability of an ocean line, and predicted
its- accomplishment in the most precise and prophetic
manner, but during the actual laying the telegraph;
it was Field who performed the process of incuba
tion, whilst 3Iorse was afar off, and in fact has not
been heard of since the telegraph breathed its
last. It was Field who saw it stowed away in tho
vast bowclsof the Niagara; Field whosaw it uncoiled
and consigned to the waves, that took it in; Field
who paced the reeling deck of the great wire sdiip
in the mid-night storm, and with the first peep of
day leaned over the stern to look after the well
being of his beloved wires. Morse only invented
it, as he did lightning, thunder, and all the other
phenomena of Nature. Field put the thing in
operation, and there was no happier being in
existence than Cyrus, when the last link was
fastened to the American shore, and the ears of
the New World heard through that mysterious
medium the roar of life and intelligence in the
streets of London. If Field had died in that
blissful moment, he would have been saved a degreo
of humiliation as intense as bis triumph. If his
friends had behaved with becoming delicacy, and
left him to that dignified retirement so congenial
to his stay aud sensitive soul, he would even then
have been spared all sensation of chagrin and
every painful emotion, except that which ail
connected with the enterprise have suffered from
the abortion of a magnificent scheme.
But this the besotted populace of the great
cities would not permit. They determined to
make a demigod of the exemplary Field. They
put him in an open carriage in Broadway, and
caused him to ride down the whole length of that
maguificent thoroughfare amid the shouts and
plaudits of an immense multitude. They even
compelled him to stand up in the carriage, that
the thronging populace might peruse accurately
every lineament of his respectable countenance.
They paraded his likeness in the newspapers, and
gave long biographical sketches of Cyrus W. Field,
and of all his relatives. They feasted and toastetl
him in splendid banquets, and made him the subject
of excellent sermons. No one imagined at the
time that Field was an involuntary victim at the
shrine of popular enthusiasm; that be was garlauded
against his will for the sacrifice, and led, like an
unwilling ox, to tho slaughter. Such, hawever, it
now appears, was undoubtedly the case. A recent
publication insists that all these horrors were
forced upon Field, but he uttered no word of
complaint at the time; he bore his excruciating
notoriety with the fortitude of an Indian, he even
smiled serenely amid his torture, and hugged
the blazing faggots of glory which consumed
his soul.
A project hits been renewed in England to
revive the Atlantic Telegraph, but, with the
experience of the past yet fresh in its recollection,
the public cannot be sanguine of success. At all
events, the people of the United States have no
interest in a project which, in time of war, would
give Great Biitaiu an incalculable advantage over
this country. In the event of a war with that
kingdom, the first thing our fleets would have to
do, would be to cut up any telegraph line which
would connect Great Britain and her North
American possession. A direct line between the
United States and England, would be a different
affair, but such a project does not appear to be at
present in contemplation.
The Methodists Ahead. The spire has
been completed on the beantiful new Methodist
Church, corner of Fourth Avenue and Twcnty
j Second Street, New York. On last Saturday
! evening the climax to the structure was capped.
It is the highest spire in New York. The finishing
stone is described as a solid block of marble,
octagonal in shape and tapering in graceful curves
to a sharp point. On each side are rudely cut the
initials of several of the prominent men connected
with the Church. The church and spire now
1 completed, form one of the finest specimens of
' ecclesiastical architecture in the city.
