inch plank at the distance OF $50 yar,ls. The
'Totectiie force is obtained by the centrifugal !
endency OF the ball To fly off from horizon

prove corrcci, this fearful engine of dcs,ruc-
lion will doubtless be os great service TO the
Government in the prosecution Of any war,
present or pro speciive; and we trust tina, ils
powers will be fully tested by competent
commission. In the experiments of saturday,
the balls were driven with much force against
an iron target, at the distance OF some seventy
yards, the limits OF The yari net permitting
