TRIAL or WARDS SrEKr. RrFLED CANNON.
"A grand public trial Of the steel guns furnished
by Mr.. Wizard for the Sickles Brigade came OF
yesterday on Staten Island, at point about two
ard half miles below vsnderblt's landinY.
A twelve.pounder, which was 6r,. fred at q
target at the disanoe Of 900 yards, made an
average distance Of n. II in. from the centre
Of the target for six successive shots, 6.cd at an
elevation Of four and q ha'f degrees. A six
FOUNDER wss then placed on the carriage, and
number Of shots Gred from it at different elevA-
tons TO test It's extreme range. 1t was found
that at an elevation of 80 degroes, with a charge
Of tbree-quartsrs of pound Of powder, a ball
was from 81 ii 10 81 4 S soconds ia i.s fight,
which, taking the mean velocity Of 800 feet
per second, would give ss the extreme range q
this pound gun ovER POUR MILES. The
Navy Department has teen "a seconds. Guns
q an inc'eEod sizs viii possess proportion
atoly increased degree Of power. Shot were
also fred into a bank of ssnd, and again dug
out, TO exhibit the manner OF the riAing Of the
grr, and certainly nothing could more nearly
arptoath perfection.
The elevation Of 30 degrees h. been spoken
q, and in this connection Il would be well 10
observe that this extreme elevation "a only at
tanned on carriages such as those on which
those guns are mounted. The Parrot gun
carriages only allow an elevation Of six and
tie u. s. army pattern of 10 degrees, while
these Wizard carriages will allow the gun to bo
elevated to 40 degrees, tho advantage being
gained by placing the trail below the axle.
Tie maLufacturo Of these guns has been at
tended with immense expense to tho inventor.
The whole process Of their construction and the
tools snd machinery employed in it, being diff
ierent from anything hitherto in use. The
puns are made by welding together bars Of steel
until they form massive insoi, without flaw
or dnmage, sId from this by immense labor,
tho gun is brought out into tic perfect aud elc-
giant shape in which we see it finished.
To-day tho first Of three batteries Of these
guns ordered by the Ordnance Department for
Sicklcs' Excelsior Brigade, will he sent on. It
consists Of four six FOUNDERS ard two twelve
pourders, with caissons battery wagons, forge,
ammunition, etc, complete.
