It was the aid and assistance in this affair which Ross Winans extended to Dickinson that led to the arrest, by Butler, at the Relay House, of that sterling patriot and friend of the South. The mode of operating and equipping this gun for service being known only to its inventor, Butler's conquest has been wholly useless to the U. S. Government. It is known that he made the most liberal and tempting offers to Mr. Dickinson to join their cause and render this gun available to them; but being a true friend to the South, and too honest to be bought by the Yankees at any price, Dickinson persistently refused and came to Richmond, and now offers to cast another and better gun than that that fell into Butler's hands, at the Tredegar works, and have it ready for service in six weeks, if the authorities will give him authority to do so. The writer does not hesitate to say it will be a great blunder on the part of the powers that

He considered it so exceedingly difficult to handle large bodies of men, that he said that as great as were the Marshals with which he had surrounded himself, there was not one of them who could successfully manœuvre more than 20,000 men. If that were true of these great warriors, what are we to say of Butler, and Cadwallader, and Patterson, et id omne genus? In our struggle we are to have, as we have already had, a lively illustration of the manner in which the odds of numbers is met and overwhelmed by the superiority of moral power derived both from a sense of right and a sense of the inequality of numbers. The noble Southern men whose education has been on the sea, and who have surrendered their poses in the Federal Government to come home and fight for their native States, will feel as
