An ARrrUL DoDGE-A month or two ago almost
every number of Ihe Governors organ at Raleigh
contained one or two General Orders" with line
at bottom, "Plpers of the State please COPY
From the manner Of their publication it was doubt
ful whether the authorities expected to pay for their
insertion, and two Democratic papers made the
INQUIRY whether it was intended to pay for them as
advertisements, or was it expected that the papers
would advertise for the State gratuitously-(a very
pertinent inquiry, by the way, when many of the
papers were going down for want of their usual
patronage, and all of them were in straitened cir
cumstances) Well, after some little delay-suffi-
cent to consult about the policy of an answer yea
or nay to these Democratic papers-the organ repl-
ed that the authorities expected to pay for those
notices as advertisements. That was all right and
satisfactory But from that day to this, we believe
not of those State notices General Orders has
had appended to it the words "State papers please
copy" But instead of that there has appeared an
order for three four favorite papers to copy In
one instance the GreenSborough Patriot was includ

sage remark we may observe, (since the matter was
deemed Of sufficient Importance to be mentioned in
the Convention,) that Col. Hills admirable " Detail
ed Report of the Battle of Bethel furnished to
one paper in Raleigh even before it communicat-
ed to the Convention, and day before it was hand
ed to the Convention printer who had been ordered
to print % copies for each member.

removes any doubt that we might hdre had Obut

TEE MINNIE BALL.-MAKE NoTE OF THIs.-The
shape of this ball Is what gives range to the social
ed Minnie rifle. The ball is named after Capt Min
ME, French officer of distinction.
Any rifle, no matter what is its bore, can be made
Minnie rife by simply cutting ball of the elon-
gated shape, followed at the bottom, and having
circular grooves about the lower end and using that
ball. because Capt. Minnie has no especial rifle for
his ball. An ordinary rifle can thus be made into
so-called Minnie rife
The length of the ball should be about twice the
bore of the rife and it should so Gto the bore very
easily, so as not to drop out The ball having
hollow, the powder drives the lead against the
grooves so that it is not so important to have the
ball fit very tight
Any rife having bore from four-tenths to seven
tenths of an inch will make good Minnie rifle by
first using this ball.
If the bore is about six-tenths of an inch the ball
must be little less in length than twice the size of
the bore, otherwise the ball will be too heavy. 1t
should never weigh over twelve to the pound
The charge of these rifles should be about one
tenth to oneeight The weight of the hail. being SMALL
as the ball is heavy.-NashUiIle Union
