Definition of War Terms..Desirable
Information.

In these warlke times the following from
the Scientific .Amcricdn will be read with in
terest:
The Columbaid or Pai1han pronounced
payzan) is large gun, designed principally
for firing shells-it being far more accurate
than the ordinary short mortar. A mortar is
a very short cannon, with large bore, some
of them thirteen inches in diameter, for firing
shells. Those in use in our army are set at
an angle of As degrees, and the range of she'll
is varied by altering the charge of powder
The shell is caused to explode at Just about
the time that it strikes, by means OF q fuse,
the length of which is adjusted to the time of
flight to be occupied by the ball. which OF
course corresponds with the range. The &C.
curscy with which the time OF the burning
of fuse can be adjusted by varying its length
is surprising, good artilerists generally sue
ceeding in having their shells explode almost
at the exact instant Of striking. In loading
mortar, the shell is carefully placed with
the fuse directly forward, and when the piece
is discharged, the shell is SO completely en-
yeloped with flame that the ftlse is nearly al
ways fired. The fuse is mado by filling
wooden cylinder with fuse powder, the cylin-
der being of sufficient length for the long
est range, to be cut down shorter for shorter
ranges, as required. A Dahlgreen gun is oh
ordinary cannon, except that it is made very
thick at the breach for some three or four
feet, when it tapers down sharply to less than
the usual size. This form was adopted in
con equeuce Of the experiments Of Captain
Dahlgreen, of the U. S. Navy, having shown
that when gun bursts 1t usually gives way
at the breech. The Niagara is armed with
these guns, and at the Brooklyn Navy Yard
there are sixty, weighing about 5000 pounds
each and six OF 1900 pounds weight each,
the former Of which are capable of carrying
nine inch, and the latter ten inch she'll
distance of two or three miles; and there is
one gun Of this pattern which weighs 1876
pounds, and is warranted to send an eleven
inch she'll four miles. A casemate is a stone
roof to fort, made sufficiently thick to resist
the force of cannon balls, and a casemate gun
is one which is placed under casemate. A
barbette is one which is placed on the top OF
the forttcatiou An embrasure is the hole
or opening through which guns are fired from

EE The Ediuburg (scotland) Courant,
of March 18th, in leader on the American
revolution, says:
awe must recognise the Confederacy, di-
Dramatically, and negotiate with it fr,e'y-
Just as we should with any new power that
might form itself-just as we did with the
South American Republics, when they sepa.
rated from Spain. Here, our duty and IN
tersst coincide; and our commerce Will act a.
n check on the selt.hness of either Coned-
eracy. If the north excludes our goods, they
will aow in at the Gulf ports aud ON the
Southeastern borders of the Atlantic; and
perhaps. too, We shall get share Of the car
rvipp-trade. This is our interest-but it is
also that of the Americans themselres-the
negro included, who, whether enancipated or
not, must, at least, work if ho means to be
fed.'

And scattered shining threads
