The Burglar Gun
We have recently. witnessed tlx pari
furmiince ,of this extraordinary gun;
end whether eoliHiderrd in reference lo
the Certainty end efficiency with which
it per formed it* functions. or its adrni*
rable adaptation to our want", in time*
of "Uch general demoralisation, we were
led lo I ha cOriclurion that, sooner or latef,
it mu>t come into general use, end
take rank as one of die wutl traluable
discoveries of the time*.
'The ciedit of ihi* invention ie due to
Hie lion. John Wilson, of Anderoon,
S. C. And it ie underetood that the
idea was suggested to bis mind by the
net of an audacious burglar who entered
his office in the night-time, with intent
to commit felony, and ma Ie a clean
sweep of the contents of parse and
pocket book \ We predict, however,
that a similar experiment will not be
made upon bit honor during <be re
marnder of "his lifetime, (lis name,
henceforth, will be inseparably connect
; ed with, and always suggestive of this
faithful, sleepless seuiiuel, and bis
worldly effects much better secured
against burglar* and thieves than tbejr
could have been by locks, and bolts,
and bars.
This burglar gun, like ail fullv perfected
inventions, unites in an eminent
degree, both simplicity and efficiency.
These are the leading elements of their
usefulness, and must convincing proofs
of tbe genius of the inventor. The
whole structure Consists of a gun or
pistol, resting on a pivot, or upright
rod proeedwg from the centre of a hollow
noetnlic drum, about the *iee end
shape of ? peck measure. Within this
druui ia planted (tie machinery that
gives rotary motion to the rod, on which
the gun reata, ao that it ia made to fire
in any one of four direction*, instantly
and aith fatal effect. Four very deli
cate aire* proceed from thK internal
machinery in opposite or different di
rections, to any point that may be *e
lected within the range of the weapon.
There wirea, aiwaya in a atatt of alight
tension, cannot he touched without au
immediate discharge from the pistol,
but, by far (he most a*toui?hing feature
of the performance ia, that (be dia
charge ia aiwaya precisely in the direction
of the wire touched. For, although
the gun may he pojpting in ho opposite
direction, in the course of either of
the other wire*, it inMautly resyouds to
the burglar's touch, lurua on ita pivot,
and fire* at him. . .
The writer ie not acquainted with the
ingeniously planned m?chatii?m by
which the inventor ha* imparted such
precise perceptive power* to hie haul
ling, but ia well a*eured that it baa been
done at a co*t of much thought and
uneurpaeaed ingenuity.
But, in forming an estimate of the
merita of tliia invention, the great quee
lion to be solved in advance ia. a* to
the piactical advantages to be'derived
from it ; and the propriety of it* use as
a resource against burglars and tbievee,
in a moral point of view. As respects
the fir*f, it i* beyond all question one
of the most reliable safeguard*, and uncompromising
sentinel*, ever placed in
charge of the property of a citizen. It
effectually supercedes the necessity of]
all other means of security. Locks
may be dispensed with and doors thrown
widely open, and yet the answer of the
sentinel, could the inventor have iinnart
ed (lie power of -pencil, to the question,
u Watchman, what of the night, would
always be, "The day is daWning, and
all fa weH.n
lis efficiency has been tested in many
localities, and in every instance with
complete suecees. No im-loaure, no
garden or orchard, baa ever been enter*
ed or approached where the presence of
this gun wax suspected. There fa a
1 (error even in double aa to ita where
ahonta, M that hanta the wretch to order.M
Waa thia weapon introduced to
generaf uae, we are not prepared to aay
it would make men honeat, or (aspire
rogues whb a distaste for stealing?the
present demoralised condition of the
country frustrate# ad such expectations.

number of convicts in our penitentiary ;
and above end beyond all else, it can
preftect the property of honest people
against burglars and robbers through
all coming time.
At to the moral tight of a eitisen to
plaee a deadly weapon in charge of bis
ptoperty, it would seem to us unquestionable.

ly all that I* valuable on a farm. It
restricted in tbi? -way by statutes, no
honest person would ever bo injured by
the burglar gun. The lock on a door
of agate would announce In unmistakable
language, tbe presence of the fearful
watchman. And surely if an au
dacious thief should have the hardihood
to forca an entrance under such circumstance*,
and should lose bis life by tbe
experiment, be would have simply met
his reward, and should be buried in a
felon's grave, wiihohl the honor of a
sigh or a tear to his memory. lie would
be no loss to society?there would be
plenty of the same sort left. This department
of industry and enterprise n
already over-stocked with competitor*
?so much so, that if hundreds weri
destroyed annually by Wilson's gun, ii
would not amount to an appreciable
diminution of their number.
Iiul the protection to property afford
ed by this gun is not necessarily limited
to the above named enclosures ?
Placed in conspicuous localities, just
long enough to be seen, in melon
patches, orchards, and even corn fields
though never charged with ball at all
it would be'none the less effective. Th?
robber would be totally ignorant of bit
immunity from danger, he could kno?
nothing of the stratagem, and woubi
Cower before the fearful uncertainty.?
The bare fact, a* soon as known, that t
citizen bad purchased a burglar gun
or. that some two or three neighbor*
had procured one to he owned In com

would amount to a never-billing resource

1 Looking to the pest, we now eee
clearly that the American Revolution,
in ao far as it wu supposed to have es
lablit-hed the right of self government,
was a blunder as well as a ciiiue. The
experiment has failed signally and (for
ages to come) hopelessly.
We believe hi inly that Grant's dec-*
lion is certain, and that Grant will
i prove their master.
Nor need the South fear Grant. Ho
is not the fool he is said to be. He is
i not the Radical he is thought to be.?
I lie has played and is still playing bis
game for absolute power with counum
mate skill. Prom an obscure outcast
t from the regular army, he has arisen
i to the supreme command of that army.
) Lie has made himself a nscesvity to the
t Radical party. Strong as that party
> lias been and is still, it is powerless
without Grant, and they, know it. He
knows it. This day, were lie to side
<- with Johnson* Radicalism would go to
> the wall. He does not side with John
1 son because he hates the South or loves
i ibe negroes, but because Johnson rep,
resents constitutionalism, and his game
, is outside and above the Constitution,
i lie is seeking dominion, and he has ali
uiost grasped it. Whether the wisdom
i which has led him so far be bis own or
I another's, the fact remains?Grant is
the power in this country. Call it fori
tune, luck, what else you will, it does
; not change the result. v,
i lie will use the Radical party as a
stepping stone to the iiupeiial purple,
ami then be will strangle it. lie is a
, man raised up o( God for that purpose.

horses, for dogs and cigars, his bad

i do uol the least until him for the part
, he has to play. Wheu. the Courier

These two, put wnb many other things,

The true way *for the large land
mlder to raUe the piico of his lands i4
o settle them up, as fay as he can,
aith small fat mors. This will raise the
rice t?f (he residue. Population, so
t is indwsti ious, creates a demand for .
eal estate. This is why city real esate
is worth so much more than vil?
age property, and why, io the ceutrd
?f active population, city property is at
ts highest value. Yet, if between our
;reat blocks of stores on Canal, of
Damp." or other streets, there were
whole squares of unimproved and unlet
properly, (he rest would suffer in ralue;
sjpJ property oil .other streets, all buHl
up and put to use, would become ac,

So, lo<J, wiih plantation property.?^
If il be divided up, so as to affortf
homes to n great many producers, alt
htifiy, and mechanic and country store
upporiing people, wanting good
unool*, courche*, and moderale social
advantage*, not " stuck up" with
pensive notion*, needing to go awav
from hotue for their gratification, ail
the real estate around will take a high
value ; but if there are great waste* ? f
plantations, inaccessible to the moderate
buyer, between tliera, all will proportionately
be damaged in value.
Rich land will, of course, be wortlf
in any case more than poor, but land
uf like quality will be worth inorei
when the country is populous tbatv
when il is thinly settled, even if the
lew in the latter ca?e have come inttf
the region with wealth, either of their
own or borrowed frotu banks or com
mission merchants.

that all the forty acre Iota will he sold

or while some are offered on s >
credit"; the others, to prevent too extensive
purchases?purchases for spec*
elation, and not for use?could be held

vendor would either have left a portion,
sayhwlf bis properly, to rite in value
with th9 thrift around it, or have a sufficient
sum with which to mske pur-4
chase* of other plantation property to
be divided and sold in like manner.
There is ouly one thing in this which
ill h? in lU ..r ? -I- ?
.uv vr? a cirni-PI^Uini
man, and lb At is that poor covetous bum?n
nature bates to have its neighbor
profit by one's own enterprise and good
management. The same spit it which
induced John McDonough to buy square
after square of property in the rear of
the city, and to rtfuse to sell or ptoper*
ly improve it, for fear that adjoining
owners, whose land he craved, would
have their property enhanced in value,
and thus to permit bis own to reniain
unprofitable, and the whole neighborhood
to become a desert, leads the planter
to be unwilling to divide up and"
sell his property, for fear Jones and
Smith's places along side him will fc'ecome

MI was commonwealth attorney of

only three Jews, and two of them
were most honorably acquitted, there
being pot a particle of evidence to sustain
the charges. During ray fourteen
