Vanhoughton's Breach-loading cannon.

--We are gratified to learn that several of our citizens, impressed with the superior merits of Mr. Vanhoughton's invention, have determined to raise a fund to enable him to go to Virginia and have a gun made at the Tredegar Works, in order that the principle may be fairly tested, and the gun brought immediately to the notice of the Government.-- Savannah News.
