Next to the importance of Rifted Artillery, to meet

naval use it would not hold the second place, as

European tmtions spent millions of treasure in
the solution, Rifled cannon have been success

manufacture ofand experimenting upon breech
loading cannon, the British nation are compelled
to admit a failure, and abandon as rubbish Borne

The difficulties in making breech loading can
non practically useful, have been that the

diffkuit has it been to mako a joint that would

time) of the cnarge and tooling the joint, so as
to become unservicablo in action, thAt these ob
jections have been at last almost insurmounta
fle and unavoidable. other difficulties have I
consisted In making the working parts sufficient- I
iv simple to be easily worked without being lia
ble to derangement. I
The experiments with Mr. Mann’s gun have ■
thus far proven that the joint at the breach is to I
all intents and purposes practically perfect. A i
shee t of paper placed in the joint is not in the
k ast soiled /by t he gases upon discharge, and Mr.
Mann has m his portfolio the paper that was
thus tried in the s-inch gun at Trenton. The
joint is made in such a manner that considerable '
touling would rot injure the serviceability of ‘
the gun—-but this question is not like to arise i
tor their is no fouling. -Mann’s gun is absolute-
i\ stronger at the breech, than corresponding r
muzzle loaders—the working parts are of that j
simple character that commend themselves to ’
the practicable judgment as likely to work for a i
long time without derangement, and they are all
of such nature as to be speedily and easily re
newed even in notion should It be required, by •
haying dupUcates at hand. The proof, moreover, j
of the test in the case of the 3-inch riiegun flreti
440 times must be weighed in corroboration of
the mechanical appearance. Other advantages
in favor of the breech-loading gun are that the
charge docs not traverse the piece before being
tired. s.i ving, not only the risk and danger to the
gunner? hut considerable wear to the gun, es
pecially in rifted ordinance—also danger from a
latent spark in the chamber is entirely obviated,

vantages of bn-< .•h-lo niing over muzzle-loading

enough to subsist the rebel army three to
six months. In one place he destroyed
over two millions of property, and" in
other places immense stores, thousands
of bushels of wheat were consumed. He
brought in large droves of cattle, several
thousand head of mules, eight thousand
negroes and four hundred prisoners,
with a trifling loss of men and material
on onr side. "In addition to this by the
destruction of very important railroad
lines, General Sherman has relieved
McPherson’s Corps from guard duty
along the Mississippi Railroad to actual
service.
