Tho war spirit has aroused the inven? tive -genioiw of our mechanics in the way of making more effective weapons. A. few days ago we noticed a breech-loading gun invented by Mr. Henry Stibbs, and erdav ;we saw the model of another pattern~niyvehted by Mr. J. W. Vanhou tcn, which posseses some important and peculiar advantages. It is quite'simple in its operation. The breech has an ob? long mortioo running entirely throug it perpendicularly, Into which is fitted, with great nicety, a steel chamber containing the charge, Tho chamber is, supported in. its position by a pin running under? neath it, and removed by simply with? drawing the pin, when it drops entirely through ti e mortice of the gun and is caught, in another mortice which runs down tho trail of the carriage. The op? eration is sr.mple, and can be performed very rapidly, as with half a dozen of the cham ? bers the pieco can be discharged as often as \ one can be dropped in. It also seems to be secure from any premature discharge. The number of chambers provides against i\o difficulty of heating.?Savannah Re? publican Look Out !?Wo make an extract from a letter received a day or two since, from Hen^ersonville, to put our citizens on the look <sat for suspicious characters.'

The facts of tho case coming to the knowledge of Sheriff B. L.

The End of Unionism in Arkansas.? The Little Rock Gazette, probably tho ablest, and certainly hitherto a most un? compromising opponent of secession, thus" defines its position in the present conflict: We fairly and deliberately, in the light of day, and in tho exercise of our calm and cool judgment, take upon ourself the position of resistance to, and rebellion against, tho present Government of the United States; and if there be any who wish to denounce us for this as treason against Lincoln's government, or war against Lincoln, we are willing and ready to furnish them the testimony, by the commission of an overt act whenever an opportunity offers.

It only remains for us'to take leave of our patrons with tho best grace we can, with the hope that the wars will soon be over, the edi? tors back to their posts, and ail things ng?tin move on smoothly.

The rea 'sons which actuate us in this course arc two-fo'd and conclusive. The expenses of the office ans materially increased by our absence and the in? come proportionately decreased, owing to the etringciit times and non-paying customers.

Of course, subscri? bers will lose but little substantially by the delay, fo.i the entire volume or year will be given I hem when its publication is resumed. Besides, a large proportion of-our readers have been receiving the paper nearly a year, and have only a few moro numbers due them. But we will not impugn their patriotism, generosity and love of country so far as tC' even insinuate they will be greatly dissatis? fied with our course, when tho necessity is brought about onlg by both editors having donned the uni? form of the "Palmetto Riflemen," and are seek? ing io defend their section against tho invader. With Ihis explanatory card, wo bid farewell for a season: IIOVT & HUMPHREYS. -& John T. Homo?Again. Tho " Madison County Republican," a paper published at Anderson, Indiana, was . handed to us last week, in which this dclcctablo piece of human? ity is exhibited as the most abused of God's 2 crea? tures. Had nornc gone to the North and iold the truth, ho would no doubt have received sympathy and aid from the mad fanaticism that reigns there, but the utter recklessness of his falsehoods, shall if we can effect it, debar him from it. Home says he was robbed of two hundred and twouty-fivc dollars in money, six hundred dollars worth of tools, and five hundred and scvonfj'-nine dollars in notes, took his wife and children from him, took him to the woods, and gave him about one hun? dred and fifty lashes, and all for uttering a few Union sentiments. These are the principle mistatcments of Home, but there arc several minor ones equally devoid of truth. . The facts of the case were published at the time in the papers at this place, but nauseous as the imbject is, wc wilt substantially repeat them. Horao was arrested for uttering and writing alolir lion sentiments, and convicted upon tho most irre fragiblc proof, and then by his own confession, when he was informed that ho must leave. Hin notos were assigned by himself to secure dcbt< that he owed here, but what money he had on hand (thirly-scvcn dollars) was not touched by any? body. Ho was then offered fifty dollarsSnorc and his tools, or one hundred dollars and to lcavo his tools. Ho chose the latter alternative, so that wit i fifteen dollare aud fifty cents given to ht3 wife and daughter at the depot, he left here with one hundred and fifty-two dollars and fifty cents, given to him openly by tho friends of his wife and daughter, and,not one dollar was slipped into his pocket by Union men as he states, for there was not a Union man here to do so. Horno was then informed that whenever he would send fifty dolhv.-s here, that his tools should be scut to him, and thiat premise was made by such men ns he knows wou ld [ fulfill it. As to the whipping, he received twenly lashes with a single strap, instead of one hundred and fifty with a double strap as he states, and he then acknowledged that the citizens of this pla;c would have been perfectly right in hanging him, as he was a traitor to his country, and thanked them fur letting him off so lightly. As to his assests left hero, when his tools arc sold for the most they will bring, and if all his notes should prove good, ho will still lack two or hundred dollars of paying out here what ho owed. That big spree told of by Horne, has never 3 et come off, and probably will not, until he returns to take part in it, when it will bo closed by Home himself, dancing at the lower end of a tight rone. These are the material facts of tho case, and will be attested when necessary by all the citizens of this place, and not being one of them, wc will say, that thcy^ are equal in respectability in moral worth to any community in this, or auy other country. If any reasonable, correct thinking man of Indiana wishes a correct attested statement of tho case signed by the citizens here, they nan probably get it, by addressing the Ilun. Jami:s L. Oan, or Gen. J. W. H.vunisox, Anderson Court House, S. C. -o Sain, Crops, &c. We have at last got a.good rain, and it has came in time too, to fully rcsusitatc vegetation, and en-, able the farmer to proceed profitably with his work. jJvery hand should now be put to work, doing all that can bo done, make every blow tell, and with a fair season, we may expect their labors to be blessed. The times are stringent we know, but that should incite us to greater perseverance. We are in hopes that the national buffoon at Washing? ton wiU socn eithcr-rclent or get well whipped, when our boys can come home again, and enjoy with us the fruits of our labor, well content to live under the blessings of peace. But let what will come, wc can have the satisfaction of knowing that our condition is, and will be far better than that of those who arc now pouring out their thou? sands to cut our throats. The South can sustain a three years war better than the North can one, and then recover from, it in a fourth part of the timo that they can. - I WaWbe xnistri^6."1 7? wnfitently expect to setter the"^?? le?l0?s ?* tkc fie1^ of Yir^'nia a***^1"^'anU> as "t"c ^*P~ scatters the ^^^^Toaves."

Dear Intelligencer : It wa3 our purposo to have written last week, but to have done so, would have involved the necessity of neglecting other and im? portant dutic3, as to our future punctuality we make no rash promises at least, not until wc havo 'jeeomo most thoroughly iuitiatcd into the myste? ries of camp life. It wa3 thought necessary last week, fj-om the crowded and compressed state of V Camp O'Connell " to divide the command, a de? tachment tinder a Lieut, are now quartered, as the heading of this article will indicate at Camp Bo quet. The origin of this poetical soubriquet may be traced to tho multitude of exquisite llowcfs which decorate different portions of the otherwise barren walls of Barracks ; votive offerings of pa? triotic iadics to gallant soldiers. At all times aud under auy circumstances, theso manifestations of kindness would impress the heart with deep feel? ings of gratitude, but under present circumstances a new mode of expression must be invented to give uttcraucc to the deep and unqualified appre? ciation felt by the recipients of such favours. Every day witnesses additional acts of kindness upon the part of tho citizens towards the soldiers. Since establishing ourselves in our new quarters, wc have to acknowledge (and it is with great pleasure) favors from Mrs. Noivni, her neice Miss Maky D-, the editor of the Carolinian, and and many others; matrcssea have been tendered for tho benefit of the sick, which were politely de? clined, through^car of adding too numerously to tlio sic/: list. Edibles which the veriest connois? seur could not improve upo:i have made our hearts glad. Wo wifT say-en ;j,iesant, though it might have been as appropriately said elsewhere, that this city challenges the world for tho beauty of its daughters, which u equalled .only by their patriot? ism and unselfish devotion to the cause of their country. Few will leave it without cherishing deep.and lasting impressions of the warm-hearted hospitality of its citizens. There are at this time, wc believe, near two thousand two hundred (2,200) volunteers encamped about the city. Being a member of the Palmetto Riflemen, we sec but little of the other companies, consequent upon the man? ifold duties which wo all have to perform, pre? cluding a frequent" intercourse one with another. A call was made during last week upon the differ? ent companies composing the -1th Regiment Tor volunteers for the Confederate service, the Pal? metto ItitTSMEX responded with a will ta tho call; we believe not less than seventy-five (7")) signified their willingness to go any where it was thought they could best serve their State, or the great cause of their country. Other companies re? sponded with equal promptness with the Rificnien, and are ready, willing and impatient to meet the invader and teach him that the successful culmin? ation of our efforts in the victory of Sumtcr i*bnt the beginning of the cud of this war of sections. The Palmetto's have b<?en several times compli? mented?twice by receiving invitations to parade before the young ludies of the Methodist College. Through the indefatigable and untrying energies and attention of Capt. Whit-neb, they aro winning golden opinions, and attaining an enviable repu? tation for their proficiency in the art Militare. In? deed thoy were beginning to be vain of their at? tainments until they witnessed the precision with which the Arsenal Cadets performed tho most dif? ficult and intricate evolutions. The Butler Guards arc, wc believe, returned the crack Company " of the 4th Regiment, and one of tho companies that iiave transfored their ser? vices to the Confederate States. But as Sergeant James has doubtless furnished you with matter more interesting and more in detail?for <he pre? sent, wc bid you adieu! W. W. II. -<? From Baltimore.?Our latest dates from Baltimore, by mail, arc to Tuesday. The Sun has the following : The city, yesterday, was again quiet, though there was a greater number of peoplo on the streets than during Satur? day and Sunday. There was no excite? ment of an)'- consequence, and the police records at night showed that the people arc disposed to assist tho police in the preservation of good order, by refraining riom anything that may bo calculated to produce excitement. But few arrests were made during the day, and these for trilling offences. A perfect good feeling appears to prevail throughout the city, tmd the excitement of the past week hav? ing almost entirely subsided, most persons having turned their attention to their pri? vate affairs, though ready at a moment's warning to respond to a call of the au? thorities, should necesity require. The Savannah JS'cws rejoices over tho arrival in that city of a cargo of ice from Nova Scotia, tho first of a Tike fleet, and*<j says Yankeedoodledom can freeze up now and close their ports, if they wish, as wo are independent of them even'for their j great staple.

Fleet.?Wo cxtracfl the following information from the Wash? ington Star of Thursday . evening last, which is the latest paper recived from that point: -The Star is one of Lincoln's minor organs, and. we presume, keeps pretty well posted up in the coercion movements against the South. The threat that not a bale of cotton will find its way to market is all gammon, so long as the navies of England and France ride ^thd seas, and their spindles and loems decant* a supply of raw material: We learn thaf?g, dozen vessels of Com? modore Stringman's fleet wiil very short? ly put to sea. It is 'to consist of at least fifty war vessels of various descriptions^ accompanied^ by sufficient steam trans? ports for the accommodation of a land force at least 20,000 strong. Thus it will prove sufficient to make an efficient block-a ade of every inlet on tho Southern coast" into which any vessel drawing six feet of water might otherwise enter, while it will' devolve on the disunion authorities the? necessity of keeping in arras, feeding, &c, distinct armies sufficient to cope with tho land .forces accompanying it. in or near Norfolk, Charleston, Savannah, Pensaco? la, Mobile, and New Orleans. Or at least an aggregate of 120,000 troops stationed for the protection of those Jmportant points alone. " The operations of tho fleet alone thus bid-fair to monopolize the attention of alL the military: force the disunionists can pos? sibly keep in the field, unless they pro? pose to abandon to tlie United States the cities we name above. That not a hale of cotton or a cargo of the other Southern production can "seek a market through - any Southern port is to become a fixed fact within one month from this day; and without tho proceeds of the sale of their crops, the disunionists will have no means whatever of procuring military supplies of any discription ; for they do not'produce or manufacture them, it will be remembered, and their wealth is by no means in money. MilitaeyPisplay.?Our military friends improved tho fine weather of yesterday by a general parade. The first was at ten o'clock in -the morning, when tho Third and.Fourth Regiments, under Cols. Sloan and Foster, paraded as a Brigade. They marched .down Main Street to tho Stale Hou3c, and "then returned up tho street to their quarters, thus giving our citizens a good opportunity of viewing them. Wo were pleased to observe ui great improvement in their drill sineo they have been here. Conspicuous among them were the Quitman Riflemen, StaU' Guards, Butler Guards ar.d'Palmetto Rifle? men. The last namcd company attracted universal admiration for their fine bear? ing and excellent Inarching, though they were at the extreme rear, and out of hear? ing of the music. In the altcrnoon, the Congaree Moun t? ed Rifles, and the Richkmd Rifles, both honorary and volunteer, paraded, and went through their_cvcdutions to the sat? isfaction of a large crowd of spectator:;.? The Butler Guards also had a parade. The correspondence between Seward and the Governor of New York shows the intention of the Lincoln Government to wage a protracted war?a war of sub? jugation. They are determined to retake?-or at least try to retake?all the posts and forts that have been captured. The Richmond Enquirer hears that General Scott, on Tuesday last, told a distinguished citizen of Virginia, most unequivocally, that the Lincoln Government intended to retako Harper's 'Ferry, tho Portsmouth Navy Yard, and indeed, all the other late Uni-' ted States posts now in the hands c? the ;' rebels," be the consequences what they may. v-; - From Missouri.?The Atlanta Common? wealth of Friday last says that a messen? ger from the Governor of Missouri to President Davis passed through Atlanta that morning, for the purpose of solicit? ing aid in taking the arsenal at St. Louisv The samo paper states that provisions to the amount of ?500,000 have been pur? chased in Missouri by President Davis, for the use of the Confederate States army. From Pensacola.?There ['are about 8.000 Confederate troops at Pensacola. The work of erecting ^batteries at all points within reach goes on briskly and assiduously, thouglyt is understood that they still lack some days'of preparation to enable them to open effectively. The unfinished gap i:i tlie railroad to "Mont? gomery, wiil be closed up by the \'\\ of May, which will enable our .Govemment to transport some heavy siege artillery, which is grcatl}- needed. About twenA? Columbians, most of them of eight>iiW!T calibre, and two or three mortars, are al? ready mounted. The other artillery is ostly 32-pounders. Great enthusiasm was manifested in Savannah, on Thursdajf; over the despatch announcing tue secession of Tennessee. The gun, ;tOk! Secession," in Charleston also proclaimed its -welcome of the grati? fying intelligence. ScliOol Notice. npHE Trustees of the Audcrs?n Classical and MiIi-?
