overlaid with railroad iron, so fitted together as to present a smooth inclined surface, to be properly greased when ready for action. Its heavy guns, three in number, were fired through embrasures supplied with strong iron shutters.

They were, in fact, the first experiments from which sprang all iron-clad war vessels and land batteries in the United States, and to them may be attributed most of the important changes and improvements since made in naval architecture and armaments. On the 6th of April, says General Doubleday, in his Reminiscences, Beauregard restricted our marketing to two days in the week. On the 7th

Attempted murder. --A most diabolical attempt at murder was committed near Benton, Miss., a few ughts since.

Andy and Steven standing in the yard, the latter having his double barrelied shot gun cocked and presented towards his head. He fired one barrel, the contents of which fractured his left arm severely and the other passed over his left shoulder, leaving one buck shot. The cause of this is not known, as he was an indulgent master.

It appeared that he was employed to carry trunks and the carpet-bag from the depot to the hotel. The trunks came to hand, minus the carpet-bag. Jonathan admitted that he received the carpet-bag. It not appearing that any search had been made, the prisoner was remanded for further proceedings. Steven, (colored,) for breach of the peace Steven was arrested on Franklin street while trying to get into a quarrel with a white man.
