THE BUBGLAE G UH; We have recently witnessed ths performance this extraordinary gun ; and whether consider* in reference lo the certainty and efficiency wi which it performed its functions, or its admirab adaptation to our wants, in times of such goner demoralization, we were led to tho conclus-' that, sooner or later, it must come into gener U3e, and take rank as one of the most valuab discoveries.of the times. The credit of this invention ia due to the Ho John-Wilson, of Anderson, S. C. And it is unde stood that tho idea was suggested to hi.? mind t tho act of an audacious burglar who entered h office in the night-time, with intent to comm felony, and made a cleon sweep of the contents i purse and pocket book. We predict, however, th: a similar experiment will not be made upon h honor during the remainder of his lifetime. H name, henceforth, will be inseparably connecte with, and alway? suggestive of this faithful, slee] lesa soutinel, and his worldly effects much betti secured against burglars and thieves than tb? coukl have been by locks, and bolts, and bars. This burglar gun, like all fully perfected ii ventions, unites in an eminent degree, bol simplicity and efficiency. These are the leadir clements of their usefulness, and most convincin proofs of the genius of the inventor* The who structure, consists of a gua or pistol, restin on a pivot, or upright rod, proceding from tl centre of a hollow motalio drum, about th size and shape of a peck measure, within th drum is planted the machinery that gives rotar motion to the rod, on which the gun rests, bo tht it is made to fire in any one of four directions, ii stantly and with fatal effect. Four very delical wires proceed from this internal machinery in oj posite or different directions, to any point tb; may bo selected within tho range of thc weapoi These wires, always in a state of slight tensiot cannot be touched without an immediate discharg from the pistol. But, by far the most astonishin feature of the performance is, that the discharge always precisely in the direction of the wii touched. For, although the gun may be pointin in an opposite direction, in the course of eithi of tho other wires, it instantly responds to th burglar's touch, turns on its pivot, and fires at bin Thc writer is not acquainted with the ingen ously planned mechanism by which the invente has imparted such precise perceptive po'wcrs to h: bantling, but is well assured that it has been don at a cost of much thought and unsurpassed ing< nui ty. But, in forming an estimate of tho merits of thi ?nvention, the great question to bo solved in at vance is, as to the practical advantages to be dc rived from it ; add the propriety of its use-as a rt source against burglars and thieves, in a mort point of view. As respects the first, it is beyon all* question one of the most reliable safeguard! and uncompromising sentinels, ever placed i charge of the property of a citizen. It effectual! supercedes the necessity of all other means of sc curity. Locks may be dispensed with and door thrown widely open, and yet the answer of th sentinel, could the inventor have imparted th power of speech, to tho question, "Watchmar what of the night," would always be, "The day i dawning, ond all is w jE." Its efficiency has been tested in many localities and in every instnnce with complete success. K inciosure, no garden or orchard, has ever been en tered or approached where the presence of this gui was suspected. There is a terror even in doubt as to its whereabouts, ''that bauds tho wretch t orden." Was this weapon introduced to genera use,, we are not prepared to say it would make mei honest, or inspire rogues with a distaste for steal ? ing?the present demoralized condition of th country frustrates all such expectations. We se men all around us, once regarded as high-tone< and honorable, thrusting their roguish paws inti 'he pockets of their more honest neighbors ant former friends, and growing proud and consequen liai on ill-gotten gains. Thc love of money hu: been sown broadcast in the human heart; and lik< the fabled Upas, sheds the dew of death upon evcrj budding virtue. No, no ; it is impossible to mak< men honest ; but Wilson's gun will prevent then from stealing?can diminish, if not entirely abaft trials, for grand and petit larceny, before oui criminal courts?lessen the number of convicts ?e our penitentiary ; and above and beyond all else, it can protect the property of honest people against burglars and robbers through ail coming time. As to the moral right of a citizen to place a deadly weapon in charge of his properly, it would seem to us unquestionable. And if the public mind was fully enlightened as to the beneficial re? sults that would follow its introduction to general use, the legal right would be promptly provided. As a general rule the weapon should be placed in enclosures, where no one has ? right to enter ex? cept the owner of tho estate; and where none would except for felonious purposes?such as banks, mercantile houses, mansion houses, and other buildings with locked doors, and gardens with locked gates. These contain nearly all that is valuable on a farm. If restricted in this way by statutes, no honest person would ever bc injured by the burglar gun. The lock on a door or a gate would announce in unmistakable language, thc presence of the fearful watchman. And surely if an audacious thief should have thc hardihood to force an entrance under such circumstances, and should lose his life by the experiment, he would hove simply met his reward, and should be buried in a felon's grave, without the honor of a sigh or a tear to his memory. Ho would be no loss to so? ciety?there would be plenty of the same sort left. This department of industry and enterprise is al? ready over-stocked with competitors?so much so, that if hundreds were destroyed annually by Wil? son's gun, it would not amount to an appreciable diminution of their number. * But the protection to property afforded by this gun is not necessarily limited lo the above named enclosures. Placed in conspicuous localities, just loug euough to be seen, in melon patches, orchards, and even corn fields, though nevor charged with ball at all, it would bc none the less effective. The robber would bc totally ignorant of his immu? nity from danger, he could know nothing of the stratagem, and would cower before the fearful un? certainty. The bare fact, as soon as known, that a citizen had purchased a burglar gun ; or, that some two or three neighbors had procured one to be owned in common, and exchanged to meet their aevcral necessities as they might arise, would amount to a never-failing resource for thc protec? tion of their rights. Tho writer, after an attentive examination of the subject in all its relatious, is forced to regard the burglar gun with special favor ; nor, has he any doubt, but that, if brought into general usc and the manner of using it, and thc localities in which it should be placed, regulated by law, with heavy penalties annexed for a reckless and im? proper use of it, but that it would soon be regarded as an invaluable acquisition to the best interests of society. The inventor has ndded much to his former repu? tation as a discover iu the aita, and entitled him Bclf to the gratitude of his country. Were he paid ? the one half of on? per acut, for the use of his gua on tho value of all property that would be i from the depredation of thieves and plundc his annual income would amount to many sands of dollars. But whether he ie to fare t hands of his countrymen as did tho Yankee, was paid sixty thousand dollars fora dancing or, aB Robert Fulton, who fathomed nature's and made steam the world's great motor, and in poverty and rags, is yet lo be seen. Such ever been the varied fortunes of men ; suci gross ingratitude of States and nations. FIAT JUSTIT! _-^ IMPEACHMENT PROCEEDINGS. In the impeachment court on Saturday last, Stanbert, one of the counsel for the President, eluded his speech as follows : Now listen for a moment to onewhounderst Andrew Johnson better than most of you?fo opportunities have been greater. When ni two years ago he called me from the pursui my professional lifo to take a seat in the Cab I answered tho call under a sense of public c I came herc almost a stranger to him, to e member of the Cabinet except Mr. Stanton, had been friends for many years.

From the moment 1 was honored with a seat in the Cabinet of Johnson, not a stop hns been taken that die come under my observance ! Nota word was that escaped my attention. I regarded him eic in Cabinet and still more so in private and c dential conversation. I saw him often tem with bad advice. I knew that evil Jcounse were more than once around him. I observed with the most intense anxiety, but never, in w ! in deed, in thought or in action, did I discovi that mam anything but loyalty to the Constitu and the laws. Ile stood firm as a rock agains temptation to abuse his own powers or to exei those which were not conferred upon him. St fast and self-reliant in the midst of all diffic when dangers threatened, when temptatione - strong, he looked only to the Constitution of country and to Hie people. Yes, Senators. 11 seen that man tried as few men have been ti I have seen his confidence abused. I have i him endure day after day privations such as men have ever been called upon to meet. No : could have met theo with more sublime patie Sooner or later, however, I knew the cxplo must come, aud when it did come my only woi was that it had been so long delayed. Yes, Si tors, with all his faults the President has t more sinned against that sinning ; fear not, tl to acquit him. The Constitution of the countr as safe in his hands from violence aa it was in hands of Washington, But, if Senators, you < demn him, if you strip him of the robes of o? if you degrade him to the utmost stretch of y power, mark thc prophesy. The strong arm the people will be about him. They will fir way to raise hint- from any depths to which may consign him, and we thull live to see him deemed, ar.d to hear the majestic voice of the ] pie saying "well dono, faithful servant ; you ? have your reward'." But, if. Senators, as T cannot believe, but it been boldly said, willi almost official snncti your votes havo been canvassed, and the doon the President has been sealed. Then let not judgment be pronounced in this Senate Chambe just here where our Caniillus, in the hour of greatest peril, single-handed, met and baffled enemies of the Republic. Not here where he st faithful among the faithless; not here where fought the good fight of the Union and the Con lution ; not in this Chamber whose walls ech with that clarion voice, that in the days of greatest danger, carried hope and comfort to mi a dosponding heart, strong as an army with b ners. No, not here. Seek out rather the dark and gloomiest chamber in the subterranean cesses of .the Capitol, where tho cheerful lighl day never entere.
