Sir Jobo saye:— "Up toa tange of one thoveand yards (and probably further trials will carry it some undreds of yards boyond) rifle orddance bas been ascertained ‘give the velocity avd provision ef practice required Ww effect breaches, whereas with the spherical missiles six hundred or sever hundred yards may bedeemed their mimost practical limits.” It was little foreseen dy Sir John Burgoyne that, scarcely two years from the publi- cation of these words, a fort would be breached by rifled ordnance, not st a range of one thousand yards, and poe- sibly a few hundred yards beyona, but from a distanee tt two and one half rilee.. In reference + the praétice agaipet the Mariclio tower Sir John observes:—Triale ‘Were nubsejuentiy made to breach a Fimilar tower from Smacoth bored sixty-eight and thirty-two pounders at the ~#&me range of one thousand and therty-two yarde, and abo result may be deemed altogether @ failure, both accu- racy of fire und velocity of the missiles being quite de- Gcient for such range.

But in- “@emnuch as Sir Jobo speaks vaguely of the eflect Of the tire of ritied orduance at a greater ranye, it may be doubted whether the Armsirong gun would be effective Sgelnet masonry at more than 2,000 yards. Here, bow- ever, we have sort ~uinter breached by the Parrott gua eta distance of more than 4,060 yards. lt*cannot but be Geeirabje that the attention of England should be drawn to Abese «farting developments, and that she snould not waffer herself to ve iuiled into a fancied security, and 10 ‘nve in a fool's paradise, because she bas lav: millions she Armstrong gun. But if ag regards breaching practice the superiority of fhe riled ordnance over smooth bores is manifest) i There appears to be in ingland, and especially among ‘paval officers, a very general idea that at short range here is no xun so formidable against iron plates as the ld cixty cight-pounder or eight-inch smooth bore. I am potat liberty to mention the exact results gained by Captain Brooke's trials against the target with bis own &: but it will be sufficient to state that in my belief 'y would astonish Europe. It is imagined in England abet becuse one of the Monitors off Charleston has Bitherto been sunk. the Confederate guns cannot be very formidabie. Thatthis is not the belies of the federals is evinced by the very wide berth which their tron- clad vessels give to the Confederate batteries. A vast Gea! of nonsense has been written by correspondents of Northern journals about the Monitofs approaching within 250 yards of Fors Bumter (before its guns were dis- Mounted) and “delivering their fire.” The truth renily is that no Monitor Bas ever appronchod nearer Forts Sumter, Moultrie or Johoson than 900 yards, except the Keokuk’, which came within 700 yards, and was sunk. 1s ie asked, “Have you any gan in which could luk the Keokuk at that distance?” ie question must be answered in jand itself. Notbing is more certain ‘than that the sixty eight pounder could not attempt such a feat, Whoh the wreck of the Keokuk was examined it ‘was found that, in addition to the Brooke bolt which ber, three shots from the ten-inch smooth bad riddied ber turret through apd through. To wee anything smaller than the tev-iuch emooth bore» tron plating is scoiled at op this continent.

Again, we are told that the Parrott gun ‘reached sort Sumter at four vhousand yards; but we are algo told that after months of bombardment Fert Sumter stil] exieis as imprognable as ever. Even when we come to gune the eame want of accurate -Ga/a imapedes our couclusiens. We presume that by the “Parrow”’ gun ig meant a two bondred.pounder, but we do net kn0w exectly with what obarge it is fired, nor at what range |t +s considered effective; nor cam we tai, what much needs to be known, how ‘such guns stand firing. As to the “Brooke” gun, we are agsured that its performances against ‘the target’? would astonish Borope, but as our correspondent is not at liberty to de- scribe these resulte, we cannot make use of them ior <comparieon. Wecap dut repeat in this plaeo what we have said co more than one occasion—that, to the best of our velef, the artillery used tu our service would accom- plieb everything that bas been actually accomplished by Americanartillery. The fact is, that the amount of these achievements is verymlight indeed. Only one iron-clad has ‘been sunk at Charleston, and it ie asked, we are told, in America, ‘Have you any gun in England which could ink the Keokuk at that distance?’ We answer that we ertainiy have such guns, The distance in question was «within eeyen bandred yards.”’ and the Keokuk was pro- tected with only the most imperfect armor. What we ike to ask 1p reply ig. “Have the Americans got a gvo which could pierce the Warrior target?” We have argued these pointe on the presumptions which the Americans evidently entertain; but we need hardly add, for the imformation of the public at home, that our improvements ip artillery science have already carried a8 beyond the stage at which we are imagined to ‘be stationary, Instead of speaking of sixty-eight-pounders and ove bugdred and ten-pounders, we might speak of Our eix-hondred-ponnders; instead ot offering the Warrior target a§ our latest conception of strength we might offer tho target recently constructed by Mr. Reed and pounded in vain with heavy sbot. But it je more prudent to keep our eyes on tho fact that the Awericans differ from us net oniy in practice but in prin- ciple. ‘The object of Europe seems to be to pierce or perforate iron armor by ek bolts driven at im- menee velocity; the object of America, to smash in the ‘sides of iron-clad vessel y ponderous spherical projec- Ules, driven at a low velocity.’ That isa correct state- ment of the difference, and when it is remombered that an equally wide difference prevails ting the best method of appiying armor to a sbi ide, it will be seen at once that the two countries are at variance on fundamental points, The question is, which is in bts vd ——— not = to (eadhapessien nimi shot 8 pol gun, and worked ditcalty jm sea going ships— the American orduance. jon, — is quite vergence of practice to ‘We do not believe that any better track than oursel: of y , a8 wo never refuse to learn, and never shot our eyes to instruction, we Dope that tho letter of our correspondent may conduco to some profit. lt shows that we have not convinced the American: a it may vot show that they ought to convince cs. No harm, however,can be done by reconsidering the question as often as afresh jight is thrown upon it. By such & policy we eball gain onc of two advastages—either atimely conviction of error, if we are wrong, or a con- firmed assurance it we prove to be right. ii Submarine Warfare. [From the London Review, Dec. 12.) Few things in the present American conflict have been 80 much spoken of and have produced such small resulis asthe much dreaded ‘ ”? One, several weeks ‘ago, was exploded in Charlestoo barbor under the bows of the Ironsides, raising a wave which swept her deck and extinguished the engive fires, but without injuring the bull. Another, early in the present year, exploaed under @ transport in the Yazoo river, and destroyed her. Confederate coast, harbors apd rivers ribed as thickly planted with these agen- cies of destruction, and many enterprises have been abandoned by the federais out of sbeer terror of encountering this unknown danger, these are almost the sole instances ip which any practical result has been effected. This mitted by Captain Maury inthe course of the sions atthe late meetings of the British Agsociation. Our own experience inthis epecies of war is somewhat similar. We ht ne’ indeed, attempted stationary explosive vessels, for t] uificiepnt reason that we are ‘Bot in the habit of standing merely on the defensive, only situation in which they would be serviccable. But when we gought to attack the French flotilla at Boulogne Means of catamarans,as they were ealled—veesels it twenty-one feet long by three wide, filled with forty barrels of gunpowder, londed till they’ juet floated Jovel with the surface, and fitted with clockwork to cause the explosion avy given number of minutes after being cut adrift and sent with the tide among the evemy’s ves- sels—only ove proved ellective, the rest biew up harm lessly iv the midst of the hostile fleet. So when, a short time before, Jord Cocbrane prepared in the Aix roads five ‘explosion vessels,” filled with fifteen bundred la of powder and strewn over with thousands of shells and grenades, only one performed its work properly, though !p that single case the violence of the shock was £0 great that !t broke into fragments the massive boom which guarded the harbor, and drove the French in torror from their ships, wb:le the wave {t rafsed almost inped ibe gallant auibor of the device in the small boat tn which the crew were pulling for their lives {rom the vessel after the fuses bad deen lighted, Perhaps, therefore, even in the case of a war with Russia, we need pot feel any very great alarm at the vew defences with which Crovetadt is being surrouoded, which consist, ac- cording to the last advices, of uumbericas torpedoes, each containing seventy pounds ef powder, sunk tn the channel, and of a mysterious submarine boet, composed of two boudred tone of jrou and steel, which is to attack our ebipy i that part which im taem, as io tue human subject, is least capable of defence. The Confederate devices differ from these antiquated arrangements in other respects besides the fact of their being Stationary. Our explosion vesseis and catamarans wore intended to explode on the guriace, or immediately ander it, and at a Oxed pericd after being fred: while theirs are submerged, avd intended to explode on being touched by the hoetile skip. But whether it is that the machinery for this purpose is too delicate and becomes casuy deranged, or that the f shock aud its object deadens its effect, mn tingularly ineflective.

But any armor, even the thinnest, involves a great addition to the weight of the veseel, and must very eerieusiy affect all questions respecting their ize and form. And, indeed, it may well be doubted whether we shall be able to build any vessel, with stow- ‘age capacity, which shall be aole to Lear this additional it. Certainly, at once, we may consider all ebips ‘with mere wooden hulls, like en. Oak, or those new vessels which Lord Palmerston fhaists on our laying down inorder to use up the dockyard stores of timber, and which Mr, Reed is accordingly now desiguing, as placed hors dé combat by this last novelty in the art of gunvery. It will bave been seen that we do not anticipate any serious diificulty in the way of its practical application. Our m¢ ic8, and thoee other nations, are quite ingen!- ous enough 8; ily to devise for us self-openiug and self-closing submarine ports, from which a gun may end its contents into its opponent’s hull. For barbor defences une placed permanently below water in the channel, pointed upwards tn a known direction, and ‘ired by a ga!- ‘vabic battery on shore when the hostile ships are overhead, are an obvious method ef applying the principle, and pro- bably would be far more efficacious than avy - acting torpedoce. But even without any mechanical ap- Pliance, is st impossible for eailors to sling a heavy gun, soady loaded, overboard, and fire it by a tube or wire as they run alongside the enemy? Innumerable questiovs of this character will rise from these preliminary Porte- mouth experiments. But while waiting for their develop- ment and solution, it cannot at least be denied that tho discovery of means by which the old perilof a shot be- tween wind and water, which bas sent so many i gallant vesse! to the bottom, is converted into the peril of a Yawning chasm made three fathoms below the surface, and the later application of horizontal shell firing, bas abolished wooden vessels above, is directed again: tbe hulis beneath, opens up @ new epoch in the science gud art of naval warfarc.

Duncan, of Hanover, and the names of tweuty vice presidents aud three secretaries. Mr. Duncan, Upon assuming the duties of his position, said that the democrats might be called traitors, but the future would call them patriots. They were in favor of the constitution aud the Union; they presented no yactious opposition to the administration, but would do all they could to rescue the country from threatened evils, He believed that at the Rani gensicn they would carry the State, and thus rebuke the government for the violation of the fundamental principles of civil liberty; for the violation of the rights of the press, of speech, and of free elections. violated its promises made at mn ‘The administration bad ‘the beginning of the war, but they were here determined to sustain their own hberties and the rights of States at all hazards. « Hon. Jous H. Groncz made a epeech declaring himself in favor of @ vigorous war upon the thieves and shoddy- ists of the administration, coungelling the democrats to maintain their rights at all hazards, and ridiculing thoee who call themselves war democrate.

The acts of the administration are condemned as in- Toads upon the rights of the people, and fears are ex- pressed that greater outrages may be attempted. The fluancial policy of the administration 1s condemned as out us ard dangerous, The corruption of persons in official positions is denounced, and the deeds of the army praised.

We are indebted to the Evening Buileten for the following abstract:— Governor Curtin, after alluding to the moral and mate- rial blessings which the Almightly bas bestowed upon us daring the last year, proceeds to the consideration of the financial condition of the State. the total indebted- ness amounts to thirty-nine and a half mil- lions. Hitherto the State has paid ite interest in coin or ita equivalent. But the Govegnor recommends the careful and immediate consideration by the Legisla- ture of the subject, aud expresees the opinion that the Commonweaith will have fulfilled her obligations by pro- viding for the payment of interest in the currency of t! goverument. He deems the policy of paying coin to foreign and currency to domestic holders as wholly unwise and founded on no legitimate principle. Among other financial recommendations js a tax on the gross receipts. of all railroad, capa! and mining companies.

But it is not only against territorial dismemberment. that we are struggling, but against the deetruction of the very groundwork of our whole political system.

Message of Governor Cony, of Maine. Avorsta, Me., Jan, 7, 1864. Governor Cony’sgmessage, which was delivered to-day, is plaiu and practical: He recommends an increased Stale tax; the passage of an effectual militia law; attention to educational interests; attention to agricultural colieges; the appointment of a commission to classify public lands: thinks the practice of granting lands in parcels injurious; caiis attention to the existing laws relative to capital punishment. Twelve convicts are now in the State pri- son under the penalty of death, and murder ts alarm- ingly increasing. He recommends making it imperative on the Executive to issue death warrants upon the expiration of the year of grace; recommends that the soldiers tn the tield be allowed the rigut of suffrage; says furiher legisiation is necessary relative to the reciprocity treaty—the benetits of which are all on the side of the provincials. ‘The dream of trade is over, and the treaty has signally failed in eliciting the gvod feeling of our ter- ritorial neighbors. A railroad to the northeastern fron- tier is necessary as a means of defence. he construction of such road cun only be accomplished by a combination of private enterprise and public aid, either State or ni tional.

He says that the financial aflairs of the ~tate were never in a beiter condition; that the public debt has been reduced $70. 000, and that the militin syetem adopted by the Legii Iature last winter has preved a success, He recom: mends that the banking corporations now existing nuder State authority be given all reasonable facilities for vios- ing their business. He attributes the escape of John Morgan to nogligence, arising from @ misunderstanding between the civil and military officers at the Peniten- ti of their respective duties. He calis attention to the ail’ and gallantry of our soldiers in the ficld, and say*at although this wicked rebellion still con- tinues, we can justly claim for Ohio a full performance of duty im the effort to orush it.

The share market exhibited a better feeling this morning, and stocks, relieved from the pressure of the previous day, recovered a portion of their lost ground.
