Experiments with the Minnie Ball

TIC
Experiments conducted for several days
by direction of the Military and Financial
Board, demonstrate that the Minnie ball, in
the Tennessee rife, with the same charge of
powder used with the round ball has a range
and force three fold that of the round ball.
A rife carrying 100 balls to the pound,
used with the ordinary sight is, at 800 yards
most deadly weapon, projecting the ball
with greater accuracy and force than the RI
fed musket. The rife of larger calibre has
greater range and force.
The ball should be of less diameter than
the round ball, so as to admit of great ra-
pidity in loading. The cartridges should be
dipped, or if a cartridge is not used, the ball
should be dipped in compound of beeswax
and tsllow, and patch should not be used.
A rifle thus used may be fired 100 times
without cleaning.
1t is thought proper to call the attention
of the people of the State to this fact, so
that they may know the value of the weapon
which all possess.
Newspapers throughout the State will
please copy.

Harries, Cream Ale. Pure,

Harries' Cream Ale, Pure.
LOVERS OF ALE have pronounced this the
most delightful Beverage, and Physicians
continue to recommend it for the cure of
Dyspepsia.
Its virtue lies in its purity. Being COM
pounded of Malt and Hops, its curative
properties must at once become apparent to
those acquainted with the virtue of either in
gredient. Its manufacture is conducted with
the most scrupulous care, and 1t is undenia-
or the old country at the present day.
1t contains no intoxicating liquor or inju-
rious drug, and will not intoxicate. During
the heat of summer, it is the safest and most
healthy beverage that can be used, and pro-
duces none of the evil effects caused by the
use of distilled liquor.
1t is put up in barrels for the use of deal
ers, and in kegs for family use. Price, in
barrels, ten dollars; in fifteen gallon kegs,
five dollars, in bottles, packed in boxes of
one, two, three, and four dozen, Two Dollars
and fifty cents per dozen.
Dealers will learn the wholesale terms by
addressing the Wholesale Agent.
The money must, in all cases, accompany
the order, and funds on all solvent banks Ia
ken at par.
