By Special Orders No, 2 of the 1867 a Board of officers was conver rity for the purpose of examining and report.

About the tumo the Board the discharge of its du- ties, the new system of infantry tac prepared by Major-Gen, adopted by the War Department at Washingion, and it wronght such. radical al- Jerallons in the tactics of the army as to ren- ler the previously acquired knowledge of the manual of arms comparatively useless, Among the cardinal merits of the now sys tem ie ite adaptation tothe use of the im- breech-loading rifles, with which the of Badowa showed the battles tn future be fought.

In charging and firing an ordinary breeel loader, not more than five motions are required, and, twenty discharges and upward per minute are easily attainable, In view of these facts, the appointment of tho Boand of Examinora by Gov. Fexton was titaely and judicious, and he would have heen justly chargeable with remisenesa had be failed to take nection in the premises, The Boord of Examiners discharged the'r duty in a ereditablo manner, and their report is among the most valuable contributions to the military literature of the day, The only expense they incurred was the trifling outlay for targets, and the per diem allownnee of two of the members of the Board, amounting tothe eum of about five dollars apiece for each day actually employed. The ammuni- tion was furnished and all other expendi tures Incident to the teating of the pieces were met by the respective inventors, Be: tween thirty fiveand forty patterns of breech loaders, comprising all the most approved arms of this country and of Europe, tho Prussian needle. gun included, were examined in the most critical and thorough manner. Finally, the Board unanimously resolved that the Roberts aystem for the conversion of muzzle loaders into breech loaders was sa. perior to all others examined, and recom: mended that the muzzloloading arms ownod by the State be converted into breech-londers: upon that system, With respect to the cost of conversion : sealod proposals, with two approved sure. were submitted to the Board by the several Inventors for altering ten thousand of the rifled muskets belonging to the State. When the proposals were opened, it was found that the owners of the Allin patent, which has been adopted by the United States Government, offered to do the work for the sum of $6.75 per gun, to which is to be added the sum of $2.50 for reduction of eali bre by the introduction of an iron tube into the barrel. The Berdan patent was offered at $6 per gun; the Conroy patent at &10; the Remington patent ot $8; and the Rob. erts patent at $6, ‘The contract was accord. ingly made Inet summer by Gov, Frxton with the Roberts Company at the rate of $7 for each mueket, it being stipulated that for the additional $1 the arms were to be takon by the Company from the arsenal in this city and returned when completed with out any further charge.
