SHASTA COURIER.
SATURDAY MORNING, SEPT 8, 1866.
WHOSE FAuLI is Ir?-Great complaints

WHOSE FAuLI is Ir?-Great complaints
have been made lately about the irreguiarity
of the mails for this place, and last Sunday
the San Francisco mail was carried past this
Post Office to some point above, and came
back here on Tuesday per the Yreka stage.
Now whose fault was this? If all the mail
for this Post Office was properly collected TO-
pether at Red Bluff, we cannot see now sucn
mistakes could occur. And in this connec
tion we will also remark that Red Blum is
not properly the distributing ofhce for TINS
upper country. Shasta is the proper place
for that.

AT 1T AGAIN.-For many years before the

Andrew johnson were caterwauliag all the

of the rebellion, but are at it again now,
hammer and tongs. In fair, stand up
blackguarding match, we think the Parson
is a little the heavier, the one using nothing
but "dead ducks as offensive projectiles,
while the other filings "dead dogs" with ap-
palling dexterity.

PRUssIAN NEEDLE GUN-Thc following is
a fair description of this famous weapon

a fair description of this famous weapon
The cartridge used in the needle gun is
made of stiff card board, the ball. powder and
explosive composition being contained in one
and the same cylinder. Its great peculiarly
is that the decorating powder is placed i'm
mediately in rear of the base of the ball, and
between it and the powder. The advantage
of this is that, when the powder is ignited.
that portion next the ball, in which combus
ton is first perfected. cxerts its full force
upon the projectile, the powder In rear also
exertng its influence. as it becomes almost
instantaneously' ignited. Under the present
system in which that part of the powder next
to the breach of the gun is first ignited,
portion of the powder is frequently expelled
IRON the gun with the ball in condition of
only partial com mbustion, the explosive force
of the powder first consumed being adequate
to expell the ball and the powder in its front
before the whole charge has time to become
entirely ignted. Thus in the Needle gun
all the powder is consumed, and applied
to the best effect, and so to obtain its full
est force at the same instant and in the same
direction. The Needle" gun is a breach
loader and wien the trigger is pulled. a
stout 8 needle or wire is thrust through the
base of the cartridge. parallel with its axis,
into the detonating charge, causing its expIo-
sion and the ignition of the cartridge. In
accuracy the . Needle gun cannot be sur
passed. and its effective range is said to be
about fifteen hundred yards.
