HEAVY GUNs-The Committee on the Con.
duct OF the War, yesterday, through Senator
Wade, made report calling attention to three
classes of heavy guns-the first, those made
entirely Of cast iron, the Dahlgren and Rod
man gun; the second, those made Of cast iron
and bound with wrought iron, the Parrettgun
and third, those made entirely OF wrought
iron, the Anes' gun. The committee say that
Admiral Danlgren never received any COM
pensation in the nature OF royalty; that Mr..
Parrot never charged anything excepting
what he deemed fair manufacturers profit;
and that Mr.. Ames has made only twenty.one
guns for the Government, charging so much
apiece for them. The committee have exam
ined into the bursting Of the Parrot gun OF
large caIibre, together with the bursting of
some of the cast iron guns of large calibre upon
the vessels engaged In operations against
Charleston aud Fort Fisher, and which has
tended 10 weaken confidence in their durabil-
ity, and seems to show the necessity OF obtain
ing, II possible. some other gun, which can be
more implicitly relied upon. The bursting OF
these guns is generally attributed to the pre-
mature explosion of shells within the nave of
the gun The committee, in view OF the facts
elected by the testimony, recommend that Con-
gress Immediately adopt such measures as will
enable the War and Navy Departments to OBJ.
tain and introduce into the service wrought
iron guns, especially Of larger calibre, at as
early day as practicable.
