THE PAIXHAN GUN.

This new device for the destruction of human
life, which it has been supposed, from its vast pow
ers OF destruction, would put end TO war, is in
fair way to be held at its true value-and that, in
our opinion is, humbug Of the first water.
The Savannah Republican, in the article below,
contends, that is unfit for attack upon town, and
fortihcatons because the shell is not projected with
sufficient force to penetrate Its reasoning on that
head, we think good. But the Editor might have
gone farther, and said, it still more worthless
when used by ships against ships at sea. Its great
destructive powers spring from the bursting of the
bomb. But the vessel from which it is thrown as
well as that against which it is directed, must be
stationary, as the bomh can only be thrown a GER
tain fixed distance. If il fall short of the mark, i,
produces no hurt, it it goes beyond, it does no more
injury than any other shot. This fact, fully tested
by experiment, as we have been informed by dis /.

THE PAlXHAN BOMB.

The Baltimore American has short account Of
these shot, which shall notice briefly for the So ke
of correcting some important in their
statement. We find that The world will insist tina,
when one OF these shells is projected against the
parapet wall OF fertilization, its effects are prod
gIously destructive whereas they are Comparatively
harmless, because being hollow they break into a
thousand fragments, instead of making the impress
sion produced by solid shot.
The American speaks OF the powerful efficacy
of these shells as displayed in the attack on ST. Juan
de Ulloa, and on 81. Jean d'Acre The truth is
that the effects there produced are not attributable
to these Shells and stated the facts IN en- article
published IN this paper some three months since
The fortress OF St. Juan de Uoa was surrender.
ed after SIX magazines had been blown up by shells
thrown from common morlars.
That OF ST. Jean d'Acre IN like manner was car
rIed 10y assault after the explosion Of the principal
magazine, VIII ch We believe was not effected by n
PaINhan shell. This projeciile, as the American
states, is thrown from gun OF large calibre and de-
scrlbes ft curve like any round shot thrown
from guns n ordinary use. This fact being gran
ted. II follows that such proectie, even # It shou
strike the roof OF maya zine, would impinge upon
II al an angie so acute cause il to glance off IN
stead Of penetrating. But as a universal rule all
the magazines IN a lOrhclliOn are securely placed
behind the scarp wall and their roof does not rise so
high as the coping stone Of this wall so that on the
supposlIloE that gun could be so elevated as to
reach this height with its shot (which IN ordinary
cases 1t could not beg even then no injury would be
done.
BUTT is widely different with shell thrown from
a mortar at an angle Of elevation Of forty five de-
grees Then the she'll ascends to an immense height
and IN It's descending parabola strikes uoon roof
az an angle under which il IS sure to enter unless
the roof IS bomb proof
The truth - then that the Pdixhan shot is not
good at all times and IN all places. But neverthe.

has ever seen, when used by Notifications against

We DO not speak from mere theory, our state

Washington Arsenal, 10 which we have already re-.
iened. The error, however, is popular and al
most usiversal one, that these shells are not only
dfeldiuIy destructive when used against ships but
also when used against Forifcatons.
