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.

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. iVOKTII (MKMiS MILITARY INSTITUTE, Charlotte, N.

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. The Placerville (Cal.) Observer thus ac counts for the sudden death of an Indian of the Digger tribe who recently departed for the spirit land: 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. If you would find out the depths into which human nature is competent to sink, you must sec j a woman, with her moral faculties inverted, her j angelic graces demoralized, and the sweet wine of ; her sensibilities turned to vinegar. Some of the vainest men on earth are constant- j ly prating about their unworthiness, and depre- ! eating all commendation; while, if they were really humbfe, they would let themselves alone. A modern philosopher gives several potent rca mtm why a man should never marry for money; but an old epigrammatist argues the case very pleasantly on the other side: Whene'er you marry, Croesus said, Take a rich widow or rich maid; For any wife may turn out ill, But 'gad ! the money never will ' In the first place, make up your mind to ac complish whatever you undertake; decide" upon some particular employment and persevere in it.

Treat every one with respect and civility. a a A lady said to her beau, after fifteen years court ship, "Charles, I'm going out of town to-morrow.' "Where?" 'I don't know." "When are you coming back ?" "Never." "What are you going for?" "I am going to look for something which you have not, never had, and yet can give me with out loss to yourself." "You are welcome to it, I'm sure, wliat is it ?" "A husband!" "Why you might have had that fifteen years ago, if you had only said the word; but I was afraid to ask you the question." 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. J Improvement or Time.
