Improved gun.

We are inclined to believe that the new breech-loading rifle invented by Mr. C. W. Alexander, is the very best arm of that kind yet invented. It would be well for the army if it were possible now to furnish it with a large supply of this pattern of gun. Mr. Alexander, who is now in this city, desires to secure the co-operation of manufacturers in the manufacture of his rifle. A lucrative business might be done in this enterprise, and we trust, as well for the sake of our cause as for the benefit of a gentleman who merits success, that some one who has manufacturing skill and means will undertake it at once. Mr. A.'s rifle has received the unqualified approval of the proper officers in the Ordnance Department of the Government.
