Mr.. Norman Wizard has plan tor rining the old
smooth-bore guns of the Rodman, Parrott, and
DahGren patterns so as to make them, if his state
ments to be believed, not only rifles of
binary power but just az valuable for use smooth
bores ever. He got $4,000 from the Navy De-
partment, recently, for conducting experiments
near Boston. which appeared to show that there
was some merit in his system. Now he wants to
make contract with the War Department ON a
grand scale which will involve the payment to HIM
of Sl.5OOOOO The Secretary Of War transmitted
WARDS proposition to the House on Thursday, with
an Endorsement by the Acting Chief of Ordnance,
recommending liberal appropriation for
exhaustive trials of the new system. Mr.
Wizard demands 100000 for furnishing two
l2-inch guns riling one or more 15-inch guns
and one or more i0inch guns of those on hand, and
furnishing proectiles of lis device, for the trial !;
and makes condition that, If the tests demonstrate
that the rihed guns are greatly Increased IN power
and endurance and not injured as smooth bores
he is to have contract for nillng 200 old guns at
$500 each, and making 20 new l2-inch guns at
$4,000 EACH and - 10-inch guns at $1,000 each.

AN ARGUMENT IN OPPOSITION TO THE EADS
PLAN OF IMPROVING THE MISSISSIPPI
Prof Forshey, a civil engineer from New-Orleans
made an interesting argument before the House
sition to the proposed jetty system of improving
the mouth OF the Mississippi, and in favor of the
Fort ST. Philip Canal as the only practical plan for
securing deep navigation from the River to the Gulf
He said that nature had already constructed S7mes
of jettes below the heads of the passes, and that
the whole force of the current was driven
through these natural jetties upon the bars
with no other effect than to push them
further into the Gulf. He maintained that
The works proposed by Capt. Eads could not be
constructed, because they would be swallowed up
in the soft mud and that if a stable foundation
could be cot for them they would be of no effect
save to accelerate the natural process of pushing
the bar further and further out without giving any
greater depth of water upon it, the professor de-
clared that in regarding Capt Eads's plan vision
ary and mpracticablc, he expressed the conviction
of the New-Orleaus Chamber of Commerce and the
people IF Louisiana. he canal he regarded as per-
fecty feasible although Formidable work, Tequir-
ing five years for its construction.
