Minor Cobb and Col 7. B. Lawrence, &C.
companted By detachment from the new
Light Artillery Battalion, proceeded to Win
throp Beach on Saturday, and made series
Of experiments With new rifle cannon, pre-
pared foE them at A1ger's works, using as pro-
rife cannon, made BY Ager, have peculiar
twist by which all the advantages Of The gain
twist arc preserved and it's defects entirely
ob4iated. The grooves arc one-twenticth Of
an inch IN depth, and make about one-third
twist: The projectiles are the invention Of
Mr. John +. Schenkl, and are entirely new.
The shot are somewhat In thcshape Of m egg,
though resembling q tadpole quite az much;
largest diameter, three md threa eighths
inches; length, seven and one-fourth inches;
weight, eleven pounds. The heal Of the shot
could be presented By the half Of an egg; the
tail is. at its junction with the head, about
diameter Of the head, ffom these tapefing
down to . diameter Of one inch ct its end.
On to, and containing the tail Of the shot,
Is fitted solid cylinder, Of paper pulp, equal
in diameter with the head Of the shot. At
the discharge Of the gun, this cylinder Of
pulp is driven further on to the tail Of the
shot, and thus increased In size to such an ez-
tent Us to be fitted accurately to the bore
and grooves Of the gun, invariably imparting
to t1a shot rotary motion and the true d.
rection.
The shell Is externally precisely like the
shot, snd weighs niue pounds when loaded;
It can be used os q time or concussion shell.
The conclusion shell Of 9chenkl differs from
Ill others, inasmuch as the shells TINT haye
been used before have either been dangerous
in transportation or uncertain to explode when
fired. THIS shell cannot be exploded by acci-
Gent ,.nnd Is certain to be by firing
With targct ten feet wide By fifteen In
height, rapge one thousand yards, eight solid
shots were fired; five hit; one went about two
feet above, and struck just below tho target,
every shot perfectly In line. at q distance of
thirteen hundred and twenty yards, thirteen
shells were fired; SIX went into the target,
two within sfx inches Of the bulls ere. At q
dlstancesof two thousand yards but three shells
we're fired, all Of which struck the bank few
feet to the right of the target,
Ihe whole number Of solid shot nud shell
fixed ut the target Has thirty. six. Sc7erals shot
were fired into the aiE to get the extreme
range, which was determined to be about
three and half miles. 4 shot waa made to
rechochet six times upon the water. When It
is considered that these shot were throwa
from six-pounder field piece, with its wheels
in soft sand, BY men who had never used a
r.ae cannon before, and no one man firing
twice In succession, it must be looked upon
Us extraordinary practice.
The experiments were Witnessed by Dr.. G.
T. jackson, Aessrs. A1gcr, Dana, and other
gentlemen, and seemed to give the most per.
1ect satisfaction to all.-Boslon Ast.

THE COTTON QUESTION,

Tho New Orleans papers affirm TINT not
pound Of cotton will be permitted to
leave the South by rail1oad OF river during
the continuance Of the war-that until the
ports OF the +" Confederate States Of Ameri-
ca" sre opened, the whole world must
starve for want Of the staple, ct cetera.
The Crescent says that any railroad con-
ductor or any steamboat captain who un-
dertakes to carry off a bale by any route
leading northward, viii be surnmarily shot
By the outraged populace. The fa7orite
idea Of Ill the Southern journals is that
the cotton will be left where it Is grown,
"until somebody comes to buy it, pay for
J" it and caTit of" Unless it is proposed
to shoot the man who goes there to buy it,
pay for it and carry it of, nc do not see
how this state of things is inconsistent
with the theory that it may find its way to
Lowell or Liverpool by way of the 1riszis-
s:ppi river or other inland routes. We
presume it makes little difference with the
cotton broker who does this business, whe-.
ther he buys it on the plantations and pays
for it there, or whether he draws his check
for It IN New York and picks it up from
the South street wharf, provided he is not
molestcd en- route.
But the idea sought TO be eonveyed~is,
That the planters will allow their negroes
and families to starVe rather than permit
their staple to reach market by the only
route through which it can pass. or course
it is optional with them to do 50. They
ask us in the profoundest amazement what
wc Of the Northwest are going to do, now
that our great southern market for bread
stuf1s is cut of? We reply that the whole
world is Etill open to us. Great Britain
has not blockaded our ports yet, and, in
deed, maniests no alacrity in undertaking
the job. And we ask in return, what are
the growers Of cotton going to do when
their ports are hermetica1ly sealed, II they
refuse to allow their property to 60 by my
different route to the factories ofthe United
States, England, France and Germany
The necessities Of other people to bug
their cotton are not greater than their own
necessity to'sell it, and if they can worry
through season without selling, it is just
possible that others can get along without
buying. But one thing is exactly impossi-
ble. Ii il impossible for them to send q
pound Of anything from Charleston, Sa-
rannah, Mobile, or New Orleans On ship
board to any place on the map Of the
globe The dilemma is before them, and for
the present they can Take their choice,
Six months hence the control Of the ques-
tion may not be wholly in the hands ol

MATTERS AT CAIRO.

The letter Of our correspondent ut Cairo,
printed herewith, indicates that there is
general expectation in that camp Of visit
from Gen. Pillows forces now concentra-
ting in Tennessee. In spite Of the reports
oftravelers and spies, We are by no means
sure that an onslaught upon our boys is in
tended. As we read the Southern papers
and us re construe the contradictory and
cflcn absurd reports Of men fresh from the
South, tie danger Of a movement upon
Cairo has been daily diminishing since the
Chicago. troops went to occupy that place.
Boosting Of what Gun be done and will bc

New Dalomey; but we haye failed to learn
il if there has been, Of is now, any serious
design to drive our troops out Gen. Pn-
Low wifl take Cairo as Gen. Lee has taken
Washington-in the newspapers; and if
he has gathered any considerable forces at
Memphis, Randolph and Columbus, they
are to prevent descent of our boys upon
the South, rather Than to support an attack
from the South upon US: And if as our
correspondent intimatcs there arc ten
thousand rebel soldiers gathered along the

Pillow with his ragamufins is welcome to

In your remarks upon the eresolutions Of the
Irish Brigade, You say, ut Was mistaken
zeal On the part Of the friends Of the Brigade
which placed the estimate of the appropriation
asked, at figure twice, If not, as we think,
three times too large.
The report Of the Citizens Committee to the
Council vas madeafter full adViscment a. to the
reeds Of the Brigade and after consulting mill
taIy men and furnishing houses. Tie appro-
priation WAS not asked as an absolute necessity,
but to maintain the high position Of the city
for It's loyalty, ite spirit Of patriotic bcnevo-
lenee a1 and pride IN sending to the Capital Of
our nation Regiment Of as brave, gallant and
hardy soldiers Is can be mustered Tor the de-
fsnce Of the best government on the globe.
The estimate Of the committee was none too
high. Fifty dollars Per soldier would not be
eztravsgant and some OF the Council so said;
but In order to relieve the finance committee
to whom the subject Of this appropriation
Was referred, the citizens committee with the
consent Of the Brigade furnished another and
more limited estinQate to be presented to said

Making the sum total, SIS, $50. 90


But this Last amount the Brigade wcre viii
ling to forego, for with IN appropriation Of
seventeen thousand five hundred dollars they
could make respectable appearance and be
comfortable; but nothing short Of 1t. Cheap
er clothing could be furnished, but It would
be much moro expensive In the end, and not
meet the needs Of the soldier.
It Is an easy matter for citizens to sit down
In their offices, supplied with all the comforts
Of home lu1uriee, and talk periodically, aud
then figure down tho equipment Of our Vol.
unteer Soldiers. We can dt1ate largely upon
their bravery, and their qualities tor endur-
ance; but let them take the place OF these
soldiers, and quite adifferent estimation would
be allowed w1thouta word Of complaint II
this Brigade were going forth only for 80 days,
service, then the seventeen thousand five hun
dred dollars eatimate would be mona too high,
for every article specified Is an essential; but
they are going for the entire war, and they
ehon1d be provided for with sincere care for
their health, comfort and efficiency. cannot
but believe that the Council will appropriate
. liberal sum. Every member with whom I
hare eonversed has manifested o commenda-
Bile disposition in this regard; and I cannot
doubt that speedy appropriation will be
made that will reflect credit upon the gener.
ons and patriotic sentiments Of our people.
The only fanlt (if It be one) is the tafdineas
Of the Councils action, when no time should
be lost. It will take ut least from ten to lf-
teen days to provide tho uniform after the
same Is ordered By the appropriation and
hence the necessity Of prompt action.
