CITY ADVERTISEMENTS. I GENERAL ADVERTISEMENTS. TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. A Warrior in Tears. There was a thrilling scene at New York on the swearing in of the British volunteers, by Major Taylor. The company with uplifted hands, was ranged opposite to where he stood, eaeh eye beaming with sternness, and each figure planted firmly in bold position. War Terms. The Colombiad or Paixhan (pronounced pay-zan) is i large gun, designed principally for firing shells—it being far more accurate than the ordinary shot mortar. A mortar is a very short oannon with s large bore, some of them thirteen inches in diameter, for firing sheila. Those in use in our army are set at an angle of forty-five degrees, and the range of the shell is varied by altering the charge of powder. The shell is caused to explode at just about the time that it strikes, by means of a fuse, tho length of whioh is adjusted to the time of flight to be occupied by tftl|, Vfhich, of conrse, corresponds with the r#nee- The accuracy with which the time of the burning of a fuse cap h? adjusted by varying its length Is surprising; good artillerists generally succeeding iq paving their shells explode almost at the exact instant of striking, In loading a mortar, the shell is carefully plaoed, when the piece is discharged the shell is completely enveloped with flame, that the fuse is nearly always fired. !fhe fuse is made by filling a wooden cylinder with fuse powder, the oylinder being of sufficient length for the longest range, to be down shorter for shorter ranges as required. A Dahlgren gun is an ordinary cannon, except that it is made very thick at the breech for some three or four feet, when it tapers down sharply to less than the usual size. This form was adopted in oonsequence of the experiments of Oapt, Dahlgren, of the United States Navy, having shown that when a gun bursta it usually gives way at the breech. The Niagara is armed with these guns, and at the Brooklyn Navy Yard there are sixty, weighing about nine thousand pounds each, and six of twelve thousand pounds weight eaoh, the former of which are oapable of carrying • nine-inch, and the latter a ten-inch shell a distance of two or three miles; and there is one gun of this pattern which weighs fifteen thousand nine hundred and sixteen pounds, and is warranted to send an eleveninch shell four miles.

Your Blayfes lave just as much right to declare theflitelves free, resist jo.gr laws, and steal  property, as you have to rebel against your country, resist its laws, and steal it* property. Such right belongs to neither. There was, undesignedly and unguardodly, a most unwind remark in your letter.— After admitting my loyalty to my government, you go on to describe it as most 'develish, lying, contemptible," &c. Now, C am not willing to admit that I am either Tool or knave. I would have to be both to ae the willing tqol pf sqch a government, 10 "utterly destitute of every principle of truth, honesty, civilization, that generations ret unborn must be purged away befcrfe the south will rccognigp the eons of such iirea as worthy of trust and confidence."'"" Now, I hope that the blood of my generation will never be purged to a point so thin that it oannot love these United States, and repftse confidence in the multitude of good men who oncc dwelt in it. I know that there are wicked men it it. Bat descendants of even Old Zeke Folk, traitor as he was, have become worthy of honor and trust. John Tyler himself is now one of Virginia's jewels. And Pryor has become i decent lamb of meekness, or else your theological Professors have fallen into strange associations. Even Floyd has oeased to be a dishonor to his State, and has beoome worthy of all confidence and trust among southern men. And Jeff. Davis himself is the worthy president of a people who submit to him without their votes.— All these pprgings have taken place before one generation has passed away. So yon see that I do not believe in the slow process you prescribe. All that is necessary to restore peace and confidence to the country, is, that each man confess his own sins, repent of them, humble himself before God, and seek for those things which are pleas-, ing in his sight. Then the work will be easy, pleasant and^rmanent. You tell me that you "know your des& ny," and ask me if we know ours, correctly stating that "this questiou is a poser." No, you do not know your destiny, nor do we know ours. All that I know, is, that great blindness has happened to our opoe happy land ; such blindness as God permits to fall upon those he intends to punish for their sins. We are now beginning to drink'of the cup of his wrath. Qh I how bitter it is, even before we reach the unmingled dregs at the bottom I What the result is to be, none bnt God oan tell; no man can foresee. Our forefathers oalmly, wisely, patriotically examined the whole subject of the union and the separation of this continent, an4 they determined that our safety consisted in just such a union as has existed for nearly eighty years in this land, and made it the greatest and happiest land on earth. We are not "contending," as you say, "for a theory," but for a demonstrated fact. If we desire a dcniQcratio republic, we dare not consent to despotism. "The military despotism" you speak of will be upon us both if wc separate, I was once a eitiicn of these United States, and by birthright and as a citizen of the United States a citizen of every State in it. Yon say "Virginia is no longer yoqr State." How came I robbed of my right ? How did rebels and traitors dispossess me of the paves of my fathers 1 Military despotism is at work with you already. No legal proeess, no constitutional appeal, no remedy, in law or right, permits me to try my right, It is gone, you say, forever. Eighteen millions of freemen a few weeks ago claimed in common, Virginia as theirs. All, every one of them, with me, have been made aliens, not by a vote of Virginia's few slaveholders even, bnt how ? Is there no despotism here? Neither Virginia, nor Jeff. Davis's soldiers,gave me and the eighteen millions of freemen their right of citisenship in Virginia. They have no right to take it, and shall never owa it to our exclusion, except by military despotism- Never was there a greater mistake than that made by yon. Yon are not "fighting for principle, nor "facts," nor "hearths." You are fighting for the destruction of this Union ; for the doctrine of secession and the denial of tbo right of your "government to coerce obedience on rebels revolting against it; for abstractions and imaginations. The fact that you gave, " that Virginia did not and would not seoedo," unless your government attempt to enforoe its laws, defend its property and collect its revenue, and it did secede the moment the people were called upon to do their duty, proves this statement. Your only reason for the sudden change, was, that (he President called upon you to raise your quota, with others, to execute the law. Why was your secession kept scoret, and made before the 24th of May, without a vote of the people 1 That Goiport and Harper's Ferry and Washington city might be stolen, while you were crying out, "If you ooeroe us not to steal, or to help coerce the rogues who have done so to restore their pelf, wo will esteem it a declaration of w*r." Your language about "mobs" and "freedom" sounds strangely to me, with your two letters beforo me. In your first you say, "my respected uncle, it grieves me to say it, but I must speak the truth, you qr any other minister holding your sentiments would be mobbed here." In yonr last, "we are forming a home guard totake ease of suoh northern abolition Christians, whose seal," Cfco. Yonr abuse of Philadelphia was strange.

A» the Major looked upon their striking visages, while he administered the oath to "defend the Constitution of the United States ." he turned his head away, and bending down covered his face with his handkerchief, to hide the tear that waa welling from his eye. Recovering himself, he turned to the company and said : "Gentlemen, the occasion quite unmans me. I have never been so affeoted by any such sight in my life." It is said that this incident had a great effect upon the company. As the old representative of the American army went the words of the oath, the electricity of his words seemed to enter their systems and nerve them for the ooming strife. GEO. W.

Doubtless the predominant thought was that those stern, earnest warriors were genuine representatives of that mighty nation from which we came, and which has won a name for martial prowess more substantial thau that of any other modern nation.— Hastings was before him with its incipient British valor. The strong men of Creasy, Poitiers and Agincourt passed before him, in the dim distsnoe, not armed by Colt, or by Sharpe, Burnside or Bowie, but with the same sturdy souls. The innumerable battles of the Roses, confused as to purposes, but all demonstrative of the bulldog valor of the raoe, came up before him. Kspeoially he lingered over Gdgehill and Marston Moorand Naseby, where the "mudsills" showed themselves quite able to cope with valiant chivalry. Gibraltar reared its hoary head before him with English hosts storming it. At Culloden he saw Charles Kdward—the usurping Jeff. Davis of the time—bow low before the fathers of these men who were now to show their strength in the cause of legitimate government, law and order. Through tho smoke of the Battle of the Nile and Trafalgar he saw Britannia asserting her right to " rule the wave." Waterloo arose with all its oonse. quences, and the stout work of the Crimea. In all this retrospect there was oauso enough for such profound emotion. No. 225 Greenwich Street, Between Barclay Geo. I. N. Zabriskie, 1 William Lttniby. J September 27, 1800. and Veaoy, NEW YORK.

"I won't answer for your property here if you  for your personal safety," was the rejoinder of the officer. "Give me twenty-four hours to get ready," said the northern man, which was granted.

The dread of ita being "intercepted, and the fatal consequences to myself and property if it become known that I had rcceived: a letter from a rebel," is in keeping with a great deal of southern knowlr •dge of northern sentiment. We have not got down so low as some people who pledge life, fortune and saored honor, who well know that but little is risked in the vow except Kfe. Pennsylvania has passed no law forbidding business and friendly correspondence. She only forbids.giving aid and comfort to her enemies. With the exr ception of the sentence "We are well, and send love," there was nothing of comfort in yonr letter j all else was pain, sorrow and mortification. I cannot take that as a "farewell letter." Write again, and like one who has less of tongue to abuse and more of a heart to Jove and to forgive even your enemies.
