The notice Is an important one, and should be con scientiously responded to by all whom it may concern. It is right that tbe law should be carried out in tbe spirit and in tbe letter, and to do tbis tbe more eflVc'n afly and satisfactorily tbe hearty co-operation of tbe Dublio ia essential.

They are composed of excel lent material, as wss apparent when drawn up in lice im Artma ttaruta. , Tbe Artillery movements, by their accuracy ana ra bidity attracted much attention. We undenetand that competent judges bsve spoken or tbeir drill in the high est terms of commendation. We could wish that some ol the horses looked better than they do. ' Capt Howard's Cavalry company was alao out, snd after performing various mantravret on the parade, took a position where they could accustom their boms to the reports of the guns. Tbe Independent Guard added to the display, which might almost have passed for a geuc- ral review, although no general officer was priwnt that we know of.

Io publishing this account we expressly stated that it was more than doubtful. It turns out to l uo larger doubtful, however.

Blfla rimio for Cavalr SVrvte The necessities of tbe times are producing a number of warlike inventions, and developing tbe genius of the Booth in new cbsnoek of nsefoloess. Msny of these, already noticed in oar columns, have been of a very In teresting description. We were shown yesterday, in tbis city, a new arm of service tbat hss attracted the attention of the Government, aod that promises tbe moat flective service in the field. It is a rifle cannon, 4-pourxW, invented bv Mr. John Mullane, late of Lnois- ;iio I.'.r.f tt'im ulil tn Im the moat nowerful gun of its weight and calibre in tbe world. The gun weighs only 280 pounds, and aboots a conical ball, weighing six pound, from 2i to 3 miles 11e barrel is made on tlie stub and twist principle, of wrought iron, using longitudinal bars to form a tub, with two series of iron baodinjr wt lJed solidly to tbis tube and to one another. Hy this mt-sns tbe gun is forged hollow, which is said to accooVit for its wond-rlu! combination of atrength and lightw-ts. This formidable arm can b mscu-uvrfd in the field by two men, adapting it to tbe rapid movements of light cavalry. The Government, we understand, baa ordered tbe manufacture of a num ber of theae enna. The tests, as to the quality and trenirlh. hav been verv satisfactory, 248 rounds of ball cartridge having boen shot out of one of tlieee guns with a satisfactory result. Richmond Examiner, We believe some of these wrought-iron rifie csnnou will probably be made here perhaps a few kept here. Affaire law I ppr Pasoanae. A friend Juet from Jefletson county gives ns mora minute Information respecting tbe lata stirring even's which oc curred at Khepherdstown, io that county. Tbe public ia aware tbat Shepherdatown is immediately on the Potomac, about 7 miles above Harper's ferry. A federal re ffiment baa for soma time beea stationed jutt op posite, on tba Maryland side, professedly for the purport of protecting tha canal, but really to molest and annoy ttieir neigbuora on me opposite snore. It teems tbat on Tuetdar. tbs 17th inatant. about eeventy five of tbe vandala ventured over tbe river, eroaaina it at the ford about a mils below tba town, aod aucceedt d In penetrating almost to tba centre of tbe town before any one knew It. At sooo at tbeir preence was known, aod amid the rreat conaternation of tba inhabitant, all the dtlttena capable of bearing arms were busily getting ready such weapons at tbey could muster to give tbe invadera a spir ited resistance. Just at this moment, about a dozn of A h by'a Cavalry, who bad been Scouting, galloped into the town, and led by Daniel H. Morgan, (brother of Captain Morgan, of Ktuart'a Cavalry,) daabed down the street up which tbe enemy were coming, and dispersed them In every direction, sending them in double-quick acroa-i tbe river. Thia charge deaervea more than a paaaing notice. Thoae gallant twelve charged the enemy against tbe entreaties and proteatationa of the ottizena, they tup posing it waa roadueaa for ao email a number to encoun ter a force ao much superior. They deserve great credit for tbeir gallantry. But one of ths most outrageous f nd atrocious acta of the whole warremaina yet to be told. On the Friday foilow Ir.gf at half-paat nine o'clock at night, the report of cannon, followed by the noise of four-pounders and pieces of iron, told too plaiulv that the vengeance ot the vandala could only be aupeaaed by a regular bombarement of the town, and that, too, without giving a moment's warning to the bslnleta women and children who were sleep ing within ita precincts. The firing waa ktpt up at Inter vals for alihut two hours, and only ceased, we are informed, becauxe their cannon t.nrtt (another luterpnaition of Provi dence) and prevented further mischief. They succeeded, however, in driving nearly all the women and children from the place, many ot whom had to encamp nut all night. Sev eral bails and pieces ot old iron fired by the savagea were picked up by the citizena. Most of the talis struck near the cenlie of the town, and tbe maivel It how the inbabi tanta eacaped, for, strange to tay, uo one wat injured. Col.

Accord ingly, the mo;t eitraordinary activity prevails in tbe army, and everything betokens a spwly engagement. The Federal force at and around Washington is vari ously estimated at Irom 75 to 150,000 men. Tbe Con federate numbers it would cot be prudent to give, but tbey are believed to lie ample to cope with the hosts ol Mcuieilan. Accounts as late as yestcrdiy, direct srora Fairfax Station, contradict the report tbat our lines bad fallen back so far, and confirm the statement that our advance still occupied Anandale. President Davis was at Fairfax Court-House. Ilia arrival at tbe railroad station was greeted with immense encers. Tbe Post Cffice Department bos given instructions teat nve dollar treasury notes are not to be received io payment of rostae-e, until stamps and stamped enve lopes cso be procured. 1 he act of Congress is construed as making these notes receivable only. for stamns and stamped envelopes, and not directly in payment for jmt- age. wti. .xomtner, za.

On Tuesday morn ire the Judge announced that be should take up tbe civil docket as usual, without any regard to ine stay law ana mai unless aeicnuaots bad some pood cause of continuance, tbey would be requjred to try tbeir cases, the stay-law notwithstanding. Defcndantrfon this circuit will therefore do well to take notice of tbis and be ready for trial.

Ve had no time on Monday, when, just as we were going to press, we heard ot the retire ment of Lieut. Col. Lsne from the 1st Regiment, ia consequerce of bis election to the Colonelcy of tbe 28tt", to soy even a word in addition to what our correspon dent F. said of him. IJut it is proper to add, tbat fa our many letters from the Cunip, Col. Lane baa often bee n mentioned, and always with the greatest respect as well as afJeclion. Tbe Regiment pans from him with sincere regiet. It is lelt, bowever, tbat he ought to go, ns be desires to continue iu the service after the time of the 1st Regiment expires. Some months ago he de clined promotion ofLred by another Regiment, for lie was proud of the 1st and the 1st of him. But now, its time being so nearly out, all feel that he ought not to miss tbe-opportunity thus presented. Fayettevitle 0 sertrr. . . Direct from Yankeedom Two seamen of this place just arrived Irom IVew Yotk City, under circuin atanot s and through channels both funny and interesting, but which it won't elo to tell, report that great activity is manilested at the Navy Yard iji tbat city iu fitting out tbe new gun-boats intended lor oar iuland waters. They report that they were; ju the Yard about two or three weeks ago and saw some 50 or CO boats which were then launched and would be. ready lor action in a short time, and were told by the woikmen that tbey were for the expedition to North Carolina. The boats are so constructed as to carry abont 300 or 350 men and when fully load.'d and ecpiippenl will draw from C to 7 leet of water. Tbey are b 'avily corked from the waters e-eltre np and covered with hiavy irou torthe top of the railing. That those boats are being constructed admits of no donbt, but whether they are to come into our waters or not, ol course we don't know. But when we consieier that the y arc of the right draught and thut tbe Naval officers there are anxious to employ, immediately, pilots are'iainted with our Eomids and rivers at s Juries as high as $150 per mouth, it may not be unwise ia us to pre- j 1 .1 . luxe lor uii rariy vrcii. iiuui u.at tjum uer. a Newbem Progress, 4& inst, , 1eatii or a Captive.
