Bor eeveral yeare past ibe inventive genius, not only of &merica, bul of tbe worll, hae been largely exercised in Znveating new and more destructive firearms for the use of infanuy aud cavalry. The result is thata great mary spatents bave been taken out, especially in the United ‘Btates, for guns containing real, or at least alleged, :m- ‘Provemenis in thelr models or weke Some of these guns can do discharged with from four to six times the rapidity of the old percussion cap firelook, which at present enjoys the monopoly of u#e in the United States eervice. The reason that these old maskets have been retained so long in the ‘army is that they are strong, of @ eimpio model, not liable {0 get out of order, or oasily broken by carcloes soldiers. ‘Many of ihe now guns aro complicated in their models: und therefore lable to get out of order; thoy are also sub- feot to accidents jn the hands of the common soldiery. If ‘a body of in’antry, by being armed with some one of the new rifles, would be able to fre double the number o ‘sbots in a given period, an equal per centage of the whole umber of shots Ored taking effect, they would soon over Some an equal force of infantry o,posed to thom and arm. ed with the old felock. This {s one of the advantages @laimed for the new guns; another ts the avcuracy’ with ‘whiob, and the distance to which they carry a ball, so tha: @ select body of men armed with them could “pio off” the offlcers in the enemy’s army, even at @ distance of several hundred yarus. By act of Congreee, itis the duty of the Secretary of War 40 test the accuracy, fo'co and safety of these new guns On the 24th of June last he had trial at Wathington of ome of the mos: colod a od vow rifles and pisiols, the re- ult of which was publiched ia the Hanarp at tho ime.
