JOHN H. STOKES, / 008 TOI ABCH etrtH.’l- WEDNESDAY, NOV. 1862. OUR GRAND ARMY IN VIRGINIA. Burnside Changes his Front—Oar Troops Ope rating front Fredericksburg—On to Richmond by a new Route—The Army Moving—A Rebel Converted Affairs at Warrenton From • Htarper’s Ferry—Gen.-Joseph Hooker, &c; ‘ RICHMOND VIA FREDERICKSBURG. Wabebxtok, Nov. 18.—That Fredericksburg—acces sible os it ia to. supplies by water, and furnishing, as it ■ shorter and better road to Richmond than any other port—possesses ,unusual .advantages as a base of operations against Bichmond.is so apparent that we are compelled to wonder whF it was not originally chosen. Owing to General McClellan’s tardiness in performing the -part allotted to him, the grand strategical plan ar ranged at Washington, has preyed a /oust pas— a com plete failure. A newmove had'consequently to be de termined upon. In consequence of the time reunited for planning it, and the necessary delay arising' from a /change of commanders, oar army has laid comparatively ’ idlefßihce entering’ this place, a little more than a week sidle. .Before the expiration of another week, however, every regiment will bo on the onward march, or we shall , realize the truth of the old adage, that < s appearances are . often deceitful.” THE ARMY MOVIKO. JWabbekton, Nov. 18.—Three weeks ago, when we ■ crossed the Potomac, our advance did not mean much. It'was well nnderstood that the then oommander tid not ' originate.it, .that he.did not approve of it, that he began it with great reluctance. Again andagain I was told by, bis immediate confldential friends, “This movement. . means nothing, and will accomplish nothing. It was undertaken. simply to satisfy the public clamor for ad-, vance. Winter campaigning In thiaoountry ia impos sible. Theonly wav to goto Richmond ia by the Pe ninsula.” ■ ■■■■"'" ' -This movement is of ano her sort. Gen. Burnside originates it, and bis. heart is in it. -It means business, ft means rapid marching, It means change of base toi a mcjre direct, more defensible lias. With the army, in ’•three columns,led by “Glorious Jo« Hooker,” Sumner, the bullet-proofoldwar horse, and Franklin, reputed to possess every eoldierly guality but industry, it means qeeperate, decisive fighting. It means Richmond. 5, -Among .division and corps commandera the - be'lef '•'obtains mat, nnder Bnrnside,' there will be no more , : fruitless drawn battles. When the dash of arms comes again, it will bring crowning victory or overwhelming .defeat. "It. will .bo a day big with the fate of the Be publlc. ‘ ' f; The-weather and the roads are propitions. If they 'only continue so for the next thirty days . . A FEMALE REBEL CHANGES HKR BASE. ■ ' One ofthe.moet rebellious ladies of; Warrenton, of much social influence, with whom l accidentally became 'acquainted when here last summer with Gen. McDowell, ‘remarked., to me yesterday that in' the next engagement she hoped their army would be beaten. An officer who ..was standing by her side when she made the remark im mediately left, but soon returned with a large jar of Spickles,': which he presented to her with his aconstomed ’grace, and remarked that it pleased him greatiy.to learn 'that the : most spiteful .rebel in Warrenton had become one of the. most dooile and hnmble Yankees.

FROM GENERAL GEARY’S COMMAND. * Hakpeh’s Ferry (Ta ), Nov. 17.1862. General Geary took out a working party, of eight hun dred men; to the vicinity of Charlestown to-day, to clear away a belt of timber. They were protected by right hundred infantry and two guns. A squadron of rebel cavalry, unaware of their strength, appeared to recon noitre, but were astonished to find themselves under ar tillery fire, and soon fled. The work then progressed uninterruptedly. A rebel scout was captured by the pickers, with hiß horse and equipments, to-day. He be longed to the 12th Virginia cavalry. PEN-AND-INK. PICTURE OF GEN. HOOKER. . There are thosewhosay that Gen. Hooker ha 3 been dis appointed. He is said to have had higher aspirations than bis present command—to have looked to.filling the place now occupied by Gen. Burnside. I have It from the best authority that these assertions are untrue. Gen.- Hooker has ambition; butitie an ambition satisfied with Barring his country in any position assigned him. His country is hie first thought—himself secondary. - Confident of his own abilities, he is not the man to shrink from responsi bilities; and, , should his wiee and brave acts in the coming conflicts elect him to a higher position, ho would take it—that'is, did he think by thus doing he couli do service to . the canse—and he would not take it otherwise. ' Thoie who know the man well say this of him. And it is such men that are needed—men of unselfish patriot ismand earnest purpose Such men 1 the army: has con fidence in, above those whom facllonal politicians and misjudging friends or influence Have plseed.in high,com mands. Now that Tam upon Genofat 'Hooker, I will drawrapen-and-inkißketohof thqsjhan.- He looks the , joMler—tall, compactly built, sinewy strength in his mns • cles, a natural vigor of frame,' showing great capacity of enduranoeji'and every Behaament of his countenance be- BPtaking firmness, manly: faith fir his own powers ana heroic daring.

His bearing and heroism in battle—where I have not yet had opportunity of seeing him—are; matters of familiar .record. He has a flue executive mind, a man of rapid condensation of thought and details. He is a thoroughly practical man. He acts for a purpose.; and once assured that he is light, he will accouplisb that purpose if its accomplishment lies in the scope of human possibility. And yet, while bold, he is cautions. He will not rashly and needlessly expose his men., JTnder Euch a leader, who shall say that this corps shall not maintain in action the brilliant reputation it has already won—that it shall not go dn oonquering and to conquer ?

THE BATTLE OF CORINTH, Official' Report of General Reseeranß, Washington, Hot. 18,1862—The following has boon received at tha headquarters of the army: Hbadquartjsrs Army of the Mississippi, Third Division, District of West-fenneasee, . . Corinth, October 25,3862. Majoi: : I have the honor to submit, for the Informa tion of the Major General commanding the district, the following: BEPORT OF THE BATTUE OF COEINIH. - - . : PRELIMINARIES, ! The rumors which followed the battle of Inka were, that Price had marched to the vicinity of Bipleyand waa being joined by Tan Born, with all the available rebel forcein Horth Mississippi, for the purpose of cap turing Corinth, or breaking cur line of. communication and. forolng ns to retreat ..towards Columbus.. .Theee rumors gained strength until the let of Ootobor, when, strong cavalry scouts, sent ont for the purpose, demon strated the fact that the rebels were moving from Blpley via Bnckeiaville, and the main body.was at Pocahontas. V THE QUESTION, Then was," where they would strike the main blow.'! . Equally favorably sttnatedi to. strike either Bolivar, Bethel, Jackson, or Corinth, which wonld it; be 7 Un fortunately for me, there was no map of the country northwt at of this place, to: be fouad, therefore I could not ' tell whether to expect a strong: demonstration here: to hold os insuspense while the blow was struck elsewhere, or vice versa. Knmors’that the attack was to. take the . direction ofjack&on or Bolivar, via Bethel, were so rife, and tiie fortifications of Corinth were so well known ,to : the rebelSj that I had hopes th’eywouldjnndertake to mask me, and,passing north, givd me an opportuilty .to beat the mashing force and cot off their retreat. ' . This hope gained some -strength from the supposed difficulties of the country lying is the triangle formed by ' tile Memphis and Charleston, the Mobile and Ohio Rail roads, and Cypress creek To be prepared for eventualities, Hamilton’s, and' Stanley’s divisions were placed idst beyond Bridge creek; the Infantry outposts,were called to from Inka, Burnsville, Btenzl, and Danvillej and the ontpost at Chewalla retired to Hew Alexander, and strengthened by another regiment and a battery, early on'the morning of the 2d. ■ . Boring that day, evidences increased showing the practicability of the country northwest of us, and dis clcaed the facta, not before known, that there were two good reads from Chewalla eastward, one leading directly into the old rebel entrenchments, and the other crossing - over Into the Pittsburg Landing road, . Accordingly, the foliowing disposition of the'troops, - for the 3d, was ordered at half past one o’olook A. Mi, of :thatdayA-viz: . ..... . , There being Indidltlons of a possible attack on Co rinth, immediately the following dispositions of troops will be made: Gen. McKean, with bis divirion, will oc cupy the present position. "Gen. Davies ,will occupy the Hue between;, the Memphis and Colombus roads. Gan. Hamilton, with bis division,’will -take position between the rebel works on. the Purdy and on the'Hambnfg roads, wd Gen. Stanley will hold fits.division to reserve, at or near the old headquarters of Major General Grant. The respective divisions will be; farmed in two lines, the Second being either in line sf battle, or closo column by division, as cironmstances may require:. - The troops were ordered to move towards their posi tions with,one hnndred rpnnds of ammunition and three ' days' rations per man, by A. M. There dispositions were made. and the troops, at nine o’clock on tie morning of .the 3d, occupied the positions shown on the accompanying map; Hamilton on the right, -Davies in the centre, McKean on the left, with ah ad vance of three regiments of Infantry and a section of artillery, under Colonel Oliver, ou the Ohewalla-road, at or near Alexander’s, beyond the rebel- breastworks. The cavalry were disposed as follows: 1 See map accompanying 001. Mizner’s report ], A battalion at Burnsville;. one at Hors’s mill, on tlie Jacinto and Corinth road j 001. Lee, with.the 7th Kansas and part of: the 7!h Illinois at: Kossuth and Boneyard, watobtog the rebels’ right flank; 001. Batch and Oaptain ■Wilcox on the eret and north fronts, covering and recon noitring. : • The reasons for these dispositions flow obviously from the, foregoing explanations of onr ignorance of the northwesterly'Opproaches, and of the possibility that the rebels might threaten ns on the Chewalla, and,at tack ns by tbe Smith’s bridge road on onr left, or go round, and try os with his main force on the Purdy or even Pittsbnrg Landing road. THE GENERAL PLAN, which was explained to the division commanders, ver , belly, on the morning, was to hold the enemy at arm’s, length by opposing him strongly in onr assumed poei iions. and when his force became folly developed, and he had assumed position, to take a position which wonld give ns the nseof enr batteries, and the open ground in the immediate* vicinity of Corinth, the exact position to be determined by events, and the movements of the enemy.''. OPERATIONS OF THE BATTLE OF OOTOREE 3. Early in the morning, the advance, under Colonel Oliver, found, strong indications that tbe pressure under which he had retired on the 2d came fromjhe advancing foe,- and accordingly took a strong position on the hill, near the angle: of the rebel breastworks, with bis three : regiments and a section of artillery. By hike o’clock, the enemy began to press them sharp ly, and outflank them. Brigadier General Arthur, whom I had requested fo go to the front, reported wide spread ent slack skirmishing, and said the. MU was of great value to the advanotog force. 1 ordered Mm to bold it pretty firmly, w|tb that view. Abcnt ten o’clock, word came that the enemy were preEßing the point hotly, and that reinforcements wire rcqnired, or they must yield the position. Supposing, its importance was, properly understood, and that it was held in subordination to the general views of its use, which I explained, I directed General Davies to send up from his position two regiments. But.it proved that General Me Arthur had taken up four jmore regiment® from 'McKean’s division, and was contesting the gronnd almost as for a battle.. It was pro bably this which indneed General Davieß .to-askpermig-. sion to rest his right on the rebeTentrenchments, arid to : which I ednsented, adding the verbal order to Lieutenant -Colonel Ducat, that he -might use -his judgment about leaving his pretent for that position, but in no event must he cease to tonoh the left on McArthur’s right. ; the leaving Me Arthur’s - and Dayfoa’-loft, tbe enemy developed his forces'’along . that line,as McArthur, retired-from his -posi’ioh, which lave lfie rebels an opportunity to advance behind Da vies’ left, and forced if, after obstinate resistance, to faU back, rapidly, about a thousand yards, losing two heavy guns. Onr txoops-fought with the'most determined cou rage,firing very low. At one P. M„ Davies having re w£sSL“^tß6ljaiße ; and McArthur’s brigade having fought a heavy force, it ; beet me evident that the enemy were in fall strength and meant mischief : , McKean, with Crocker’s brigade, had seen ouly sldr- ■ miihers ; there were no signs of any movements on onr. lift, and only a few cavalry skirmishers on onr right. It ■ was pretty clear that we were to* expect the weight of the attack to fallen onr centre, where hopes had been given by onr falling back. . " Orders were accordingly given to McKean to fall back to the next ridge beyond our entrenchments, to touch his right on Davies' left; for Stanley to move north ward and eastward, to stand in-close echelon, but nearer-town. General Hamilton was ordered to face towards-Ohe'waUa, and move down until his left reached Davies’ right, Da vies was tofoimed of these dispositions, told to hold his ground obstinately, and then, when ho had'drawn them' vin strongly, Hamilton would swing in on their front and rear and close the.day. ........... Hamilton was carefully instructed on this point, and entered into the spirit of it : ” -Owing to the loss of time in conveying orders to Gens. McKean and Davies, the orders were less perfectly con formed to, bnt nothing materially injurious resulted therefrom. But owing to the tremendous force with which the: enemy pressed Davies back, Stanly waa called with :.bis- division into tbe batteries, and sent 7 a brigade, ua- - der Col.- Mower, to.snpport Davies, whose right had'at tost. become warmly engaged. Mower .cams, up 'while Davies was contesting a position near the: House, - and Hamilton began to string' to On the enemy’s flank, across the Columbia Baiiroad, through a very impracti cable thicket, when night closed to and put an end to the operations for the day. . " The details of the heroic deeds of the tooops of Davies’ divisor), of Me l rthtii’s and Oliver’s brigades, as well as these ot BnlßvAh’e brigade of Hamilton’s division, will be found in the accompanying sub-reporst.

Hamilton’s staunch fightie g division was on the • right with Dillon’s battery, supported- by two regiments posted on the prolongation of Davies 11 line. ' The design of General Hamilton was., to use the hill, - where the batteries 'stood against an approach from the weat, where Buil!van’ 'fonnd the enemy on the last eve’ ning. - Against my better judgment, expressed to him at the time, lyielded to his wishes, 1 and allowed the occu pation as described. . .. t.- * : Early in the evening, I called the chiefs of divisions . together, Bed explained to them the plans', and having supervised the positions, retired at 3 A. M , on the 4th, to take some rest. I was soon aroused by the :openiog of the enemy’s artillery, wbicb he had planted within six hundred yards of battery Bobinett. THE BATTLE. This early openinggave" promise of a hot day’s work, bht the heavy batteries and the 10th Ohio, placed north of General Halleck’s headquarter*, silenced them by seven- o’clock, .and there was an interval of an hour, which wasemployod in going over onr lines. About 9 o’clock the skirmishers, which we had sent into Ibe woods on our front, by their hot firing pro . claimed the presence of their forces preparing' for the assault. Soon the heads :of their columns were .seen emerging to attack onr centre, on Davies .first, Stanley next, and Hamilton last The drawing shows these peritionr, and is referred to for-the sake cf brevity. I shall leave to pens dipped in poetic ink to describe the gorgeouß pyroteebny of the battle, and palnMn words of fire the heroes of the fight, the details of which will be found graphically depicted in tbe accompanying sub-reports. . I will, only, add .that, wbehPrice’s left bore down On” our centre in gallant style, their force was so overpower ing that our we si led and jaded troops yielded and fell back, scattering among the houses. I bad the personal mortification of witnessing this nn- - toward and untimely stampede.

General Snlllvan was ordered,, and promptly advanced, to support General Davies’ centre. His right rallied, and retook Battery Powell, into which afew of the storming column had .penetrated, while Hamilton; having played upon the rebels on his right over the opening, effectively sweptby bis artillery, advanced by them, and they fled.. Tbe battle was over on the right. ' ; ' - * - ■ During all this, the skirmishers of the left were moving in our front. A lit eof battle was formed an the ridge, as shown In the drawing.

[Correspondence of the Charleston Mercury.] Biohmonb, October 20,1862. Gen. Bragg appears to be in high spirits, entirely sa tisfied with his reception. He gives a gloomy account of Kentucky says he, got only eleven hundred recruits the people are hostile, or cowardly, tic. Doubtless, but if the army of liberation had whipped the Mmy of occu pation (Yahkecß), . we 'should have heard other news. An officer ,in Bragg’s command, who wsb with him in Kentucky, Bayß the reason he did not fight was because he considered bis army as the main stay of the Confede racy, not to be risked in a general' engagement unless positively certain of success. Yesterday we had the (for some time) unusual specta cie of an'artillery train moving down Main street. Or ders were received by the officers in command near the city to be reedy to march at a moment’s notice. There 1b talk of a Yankee attack on Weldon, and if the force at Suffolk is what they say it is, Weldon is In some danger. Officers from lees army represent things in a favorable light. The army is a pretty large one, most of the treops tolerably clad and very oheerfni. As to contemplated movements, I refer you to my letter some day or two ago.

The Enquirer also urges people to invest in eight per cent, bonds, instead of vacant lots and barren farms, both of which trill depreciate at the first prospect of peace.

But the people are rushing apples into the stilt, and foe conawpption of ap ple brandy is; enormouß.

Interesting experiments have been made within foe : last week with the' McEvoy fuse, which promises to prove foe sorest, simplest, and oheapest fuse ever invented. Highly satisfactory experiments have also been made with the fiat-headed bolt, capped with wrought iron, for we have little or no steel. It is not advisable to toll bow many inches of iron have been penetrated by these bolts. Let the Yankees find ont first, and then the secret will be worth telling. A number of officers from Bragg’s army are Intowas They apeak of him without mercy.

[From the Charleston Mercury, Bov. 4.] At the regular meeting of the Ofty Connell, hold on Tuesday last, the mayor stated that, in accordance with the resolution passed at Die last meeting, he had conferred with Mr. Furman, chairman of the commission appoint ed by the Governor and Council for providing for the re move! of the women and children from the city in the event of an attack, and found that the commissioners were progressing In the work assigned them. He also had an Interview with Adjutant General Jordan (Gene ral Beauregard being absent), and was informed by him that no provisions could be expected from the army for non-combatants. How, there can be no' doubt that many non* combatants would not be able.to leave, and as it was reasonable to conclude that none ;of the merchants who usually pro cured supplies for the city would bring much of a Block to it while it was menaced by the enemy, it became ths duty of the city authorities to take measures to insure the ne cessary supplies. He, therefore, recommended that a committee be appointed for that purpose. On motion of Alderman Williams, the following com mittee was appointed : Aldermen.

Seward, Mercier,' and Mejean— Friendly Dispositions of .the French Go vernment, Ac , Ac. Washington, Nov. 17,1862.— The news of the arrival ef the Frenoh Bear Admiral Remand at New Orleans, at the head ol a flotilla of three vessels- of- war, and the account of the demonstration made on that occasion by a procession of a large bOdy of Frenchmen, led by ths principal officers of the foreign legation, have been re ceived at Washington. As this news may be construed by the correspondents of the New York press in this city into a show of-.hoatility on the part of France, allow ms to state here what I know to be the true character of the mission of Bear Admiral. Beynaud, and the sense to be attached to the public reception produced by his presence.* 1 ; Sometime ago Id. Mejean, the consul of France at Hew Orleans, finding ft very difficult to conciliate what ha deemed to be recommended to him by the duties of his position with toe dictatorial governmentof Gen. Butler, came to Hew York to advise with M. Merrier on the best course to pursue. But as both these gentlemen wished to avoid any occasion to excite toe suspicion or disturb Un friendly relations which; notwithstandingtbe aggressive language of certain newspapers, still prevailed between this country and France, they resolved not to do any thing withoutthe knowledge mid assent 'of bur Govern ment < Consequently, they both-left Hew-York in the beat of last summer and went to Washington, when tfiey bad several Interviews with the President and Mr. Seward. ...... The conversation was as open and candfd asitispossl hle to.imagine it between diplomats. M. Ms-jean, with out foe least -personal feeling egsinßt General Butler, stated that .France, having considerable ' interests at .stake in Louisiana, had to attend to their protection, as much, at least, ea circumstances permitted. In his esti mation these interestß bave neither been respected nor protected as they, ought to have been, and, as a proof, he mentioned foe cage of the bark Eliza Balii, in which the Government of foe United States had, to Its honor be it said, acknowledged the justice of the French claim and. made prompt and ample reparation. “But," added M. Mejean, ‘-French claims are not, unfortunately, limited to: in juries of a material nature sustained by French commerce and industry. . “ In several Instances the persons oMTreneh citizens, who enlisted to a man in the Foreign Legion and saved the cify from pillage and plunder at the time of the taking of toe city by the Federate, have been the objects of BUCb unaccountable vexations—and, let me say the word, of persecutions—that it would be a disgrace foe my Government to let these acts pass unnoticed” It was becauae be knew the friendly disposition of Mr. . Seward towards France, and the high sentiments of jus tice and wisdom of his policy, that be had taken the liberty to come and to explain to his Excellency the In jury infiiottd upon French interests and French citizens, by foe abnormal condition of things prevailing in Hew Orleans. . Mr. Seward, having listened attentively to foe remarks made by Count Mejean, replied, with that, cordiality of expression end that serenity of language which have marked his transactions; with-the repreientativea of France, that it wm with the greatest regret to at he had been made acquainted with the facts above mentioned, and that it would have' been a great satisfaction to him to learn that bis Frenoh friends in America had gens through the mighty conflict in which toe United States are engaged without injury of any kind to their interests or persons. Such not being the case, he hoped to see the representatives of France make the best of circumitanoeg, and take into consideration the difficulties under which foe United States Government was laboring: difficulties > produced by the necessity of establishing exceptional and temporary government in a conquered country, and among a population in a great measure hostile to it. The position of the Federal Government, by this ab normal state of things, was snob that in many instances it was impossible fo discriminate between the propriety or justice of toe acta of its officers, and the oomplainte made against them in oonaequence. He further observed that the peculiarity of foe state of thin®! prevailing in Hew Orleans was such as to take away from ths Admini stration a part of the power belonging to it in ordinary times, and to transfer it info the hands of a responsible agent, invested wifo absolute authority. -Ha would, however, see that justice he done to the French residents at Hew Orleans; and by all possible means secure the re dress of all well-founded grievances. M- Merrier then said that he was thankfal to his Ex cellency the secretary of State for bis good disposition towards France, and kind regard forjjrench interests. He would beg leave to remark, that,din£gshe Adminis tration had transferred to a rosponsih!B’offirek,a part of bis authority, his Excellency could ripf.bi§)Bfnded If the French Government, in view of timfjdfffigtilfles under which be was laboring, would dflegipSvaifFrench offi cer to Hew Orleans who would look after the in terests of French residents, and play towards Gene ral Bntler the part which General Bfitier htmidf seemed to play towards the FodereaS&bvemment • He thought that this would simplify the ’conditioß of things, facilitate (he reiations'between France and thß United States, and prevent further complications He then communicated to Mr. Seward, a projecTHe had al ready matured, and which consisted in sending BBsr Admiral Boynaud, then in the port of Hew York, to Hew Orleans, in company with Count Mejean, the French consol, with authority for the former folooktnto the condition of the Frenoh residents of Hew Orleans, and report accordingly. Mr. Seward said he had no ob jccHon to make to the desires of bis JExcelto=«* Count mercierrauu me meenng-enaca-nrniomosrcdrdial man emt. / Such is the simple relation of the facts whlch'bw,. a termtaed the sending of- Bear Admiral Beynaud to New- Orleans. As to the procession of the thousands of Frerch residents, who, according to the French papers published in that city, went to pay a visit to the Admi ral’s lodgings, it is explained by the fact that these rssi dents saw in his presence among them a proof of that constant solicitude which the French Government ex tends to all the natives of France, both at home and abroad. After bis arrival at New Orleans the French Admiral paid a visit to Gen. Bntler, who, aware of the character of his mission, had returned his civilities in tha most cordial manner. His visit on- board the French mail boat, tha Oatinat, and the assurance of friendship on that occasion by the American to the French officer, are indicative of tha disposition cfGentral- Butler, who is said to have de clared that he would do everything to his power to satis fy his French friends. The names of the vessels composing Amlrat Beynaud’s flotilla are: The steam-frigate Guerriere, which he was compelled to leave at the mouth of the Mississippi on ac count of her heavy draught, and the two mail boats, Re naudin and Oatinat, of four guns each, now in the har bor of New Orleans.

Captain Ericsson on the Passaic's Turret To the Editor of The World: Toot statement that the mnzzle-box of the Passaic's turret “ was shattered to pieces” during the trial of Satnrday.is utterly .erroneous,'* The facts are as follows: With a view of determining certain theoretical points I requested Chief Engineer Stimers tO;remove themuzzle ring, a contrivance which medifles the pressure in a peculiar manner, hot not until the trial bed determ'ned ■whether the concussion and smoke had been obsilted. The success of the means adopted proved so complete that Ur. btimers, after the third round, deemed the point folly settled, and accordingly, with Admiral Gregory’s and Captain Drayton’s acauiescence. removed the muz zle-ring. The effect was precisely as I had previously demonstrated: considerable increase of pressure within the mnzzle-boxi the effect being that some light bolts, whieb;teroporarily secured the front;p!ate, were broken and the plate bent forward a few inches.- This, you will admit, is e very different affair from the box being shat tered to pieces. . ' Engineers will understand how trifling must be the in ternal pressure of the muzzle-box when informed that its front consists of a plate one-half inch thick, four feet wideband six feet long, without asingle brace or support. The yielding of some light bolts before the muzzle-ring was removed afforded practical data for estimating ex actly the small amount of interna! pressure. I refrain, for obvious reasons, from entering farther into detail.
