MORNTNGLEADER.
a Norel RIae Baitery.

The n. y. Tribune gives the following
description of new rife battery lately
constructed in that city;
The battery consists Of twenty-five rifle
barrels, arranged upon a horizontal plane
and held in position upon a light field
carriage by an iron frame. Upon this
frame, in rear Of the barrels is fitted a
sliding bar, worked by two levers, one on
each side, by which the cartridges are
forced into the rear Of the chambers. Be
tween the sliding bar and the rear Of the
barrels is rest Of thin sheet iron, the
edge or which is scalloped so as TO hold
each cartridge with its point toward the
chamber The sliding bar is hollow, and
has q small perforatiOn opposite similar
opening in the rear Of each cartridge. BY
a lever under the franc the barrels may
be diverged at the muEEle $50 inches in
2S.44 inches their length, which would
scatter their balls about 800 feet in 1000
yards. The cartridge is the common cop
per-cased fixed ammunition. In loading,
twenty-five of these are fixed in sheet
iron frame so that they may be loaded as
one. Upon the sliding bar in the rear Of
the middle barlel is cone for pistol
cap, upon which falls hammer worked by
a lanyard.
The operation of loading is easily and
quickly performed. A frame containing
twenty-five loads is placed in rear Of the
barrels, the rest holding them in proper
position; by movement Of the side-levers
they are driven into the chambers. A cap
is then placed upon the cone, and the gun
is ready to fire. Upon pulling the lanyard
the middle cartridge is fred, and throws
gas and flame through the perforation in
its rear into the hollow sliding bar, whence
it communicates from one 10 another with
such rapidity as to allow no perceptible
space Of time between the explosions. The
elevation is obtained by an ordinary ele-
waiting screw under the rear Of the frame,
the lateral aim by front and breech sight
in line with the middle barrel. The test
yesterday was for accuracy, distance and
rapidly The distance that the balls
would be effective is about 3 miles. Three
