THE RIFLE.-We find in "The Yankee -

The RIFLE.-We find in "The Yankee"
the following in reference to the principle of
construction in the rifle, which is so peculiar
ly the American weapon, that all should COM
prehend its principles of action:
"Many persons who are very expert in the
use of the rifle, know nothing of the princi-
pies on which it operates, and would be at
loss if asked why a grooved barrel throws
ball truer than asmooth bore. The reasons
are these:
"In the first place, no bullet is or can be
cast perfectly spherical. One side is always
heavier than the other, and the ball, therefore,
swerves from the right line of projection.
However hard it may be to prove this, theo-
retically, practice demonstrates it The same
smooth bore, immovably fixed, twice loaded,
with the same powder, and with balls cast
in the same mould, will not plant them both
in the same spot, at the same distance.
"The rifle barrel is female screw, which
gives the tightly driven ball rotary motion,
so that if the bullet, or rather the slug, swerves
with one twist of the screw, another revolu-
ton corrects the error. There are three mo-
tons in a rifle ball: the straight forward, the
spiral, and downward, caused by the power
of gravity. A rifle of thirty to the pound drops
its ball about a foot in hundred yards. Ri
ies are sighted, therefore, to meet this devia-
ton. On leaving the barrel, the bali moves
above the line of sight, continually falling in
a parabolic curve, till it intersects it. The
point of intersection is called the point blank.
"Who invented the rifle is unknown Its
principle was known to the North American
Indians before the discovery of the continent.
Their arrows are feathered spirally, and move
precisely in the manner of a rifle ball.

FROM TANPlCO

The schooner Sarah Elizabeth, Capt Webb,
arrived yesterday from Tampico, having left
there on the Oath of June
We learn from Mr.. Mitchell that the Eng
lish steamer Avon was lying off the bar, Ian
ding quicksilver. She would shortly proceed
on her return voyage, touching at her several
appointed ports, but she would take little or
no specie with her, as in consequence of the
guerilla parties it is deemed unsafe to trans
port even merchandise in the interior without
a large escort of troops Tampico feels sensi-
bly, this state of things. There is little bust
ness doing, the people being afraid to venture
in with the ordinary products of the country.
The accounts of the health of the city are at
variance. While Capt. Webb represents that
the Louisiana Regiments suffering dreadfully
from the fever-less than one-fourth fit for
juty-the Sentinel of the goth uit says the
health OF the town continues good, with the
exception of some cases of intermittent fever.
The U. S. bomb brig Heckla, Lieut.. Com
handing Fairfax, is blockading the port OF
Soto la Marina
The Sentinel has files of Ell Republican, to
the 18th of June-three days later than we
have received-but says they contain not a
word of news, but are full of war articles

quarter"
