The Rifle.-—Many persons who are very
expert,in the use of the rifle know nothing-
of the principle on which it operates, and
would be at loss if asked why. a grooved bar-,
rel throws a.ball,truer lljaa a smooth bore.
The reasons are these:.
In the first place, pq.bullet is or can be-
ca-l perfectly spherical. One side is always
heavier than the oilier, and the ball there
fore swerves from, the right line of projection
However hard,it. may be to prove this lheo-
retically, practice, dmons.tiates.it. The same,
bores, immoveably fixed, twice loaded wiili,
the same charge of.the same powder and.
with halls casL in the same mould, will not
plant them in the same spot at the same
distance. Ihe riffle barrel is a female screw
which gives the tightly driven ball a,rota-,
ry motion so that if the bullet or,railkitr, tho.
slug swerves with one twist of the screw
another revolution comets the error.
There are but three motions of a rifle
ball — the straight forward the spiral and.
downward caused by the power of gravity
A rifle of thirty to the pound drops its ball
about a toot in a bundled yards Rifles are
sighted therefore lo meet this deviation. On
leaving the barrel the ball moved above, tha
line of sight continually falling in a parabol
ical curve till it intersects it. The point of
intersection is called the point blank.
Who invented the rifle is not known. Its.
principle was known to the North American,
Indians before the discovery of the continent
I heir arrows are feathered spirally, and
precisely in the manner pf a rifle ball.

The Cotton Crop.—From all parts of Mis
sissippi and Alabama, there is general con
currence of accounts above the great calam
ity to the cotton crons, (a few weeks ago
so promising,) from boll worms, and the
unpropitious rainy season. A letter shown
the editor of the Missippian from a gen
tleman who has just traveled over a large
portion of Mississippi and Alabama, express
the confident opinion that the crop cannot
exceed 2, 500, 000 bales.
