REVOLUTIONARY MATERALs.-A curious
letter, from Mr.. George Law, is published in the
New York Herald, in reply to some comments
about the purchase of arms for Kossuth's scheme
OF revoutionizing Hungary. We insert the fol-
lowing portion for the singular facts which it de-
cares:-
My purchase from the government of the
United States of one hundred and fifty Thousand
muskets, and my owning several millions of ball
cartridges, has been several times alluded TO- and
1t has been stated the muskets are ..worthless. y
and were condemned" and '.second hand "and
that | have sold them to Governor kossutb fo.
S2 piece, &c. There is not one word of truth
In the statement that any of these muskets have
been sold to Governor kossuth, or any body else.
tor Hungary. The statements depreciatino the
worth OF the arms, | denounce as a SANDER of
my property, calculated to iniure its sale. The
muskets cost the Government to make them,
about thirteen dollars, and they are worth that
sum. Ihey are new-not ''second-hand' -they
are not condemned and worthless arms. So.
Nevertheless, as they did not cost me, and those
Interested with me so much, they will be dis
posed OF for less than half that price: and we
will also, in case OF sale of larger number, rive

ION OF republican patriots to aid in extending the
area OF freedom in Europe. Governor Kossuth
does not allude IN his speech, quoted by you, to
those muskets, OF to any arran cement with re-
spect to them, though we shall be happy to sell
him all he may want on moderate terms.
The contract he alludes to is with other mar
ties, for muskets which cannot be equal to ours.
Ours are new and in good order, of the best ma
nutacture, accompanied with full accoutrements.
