Georgia Aiming.


Yesterday there arrived by the steamer City
of Hartford, from Hartford, $50 cases Of Sharp's
patent carbines, containing 10 pieces each,
raaking in all arms for / 800 men, and 40 cases
of conicsl balls. each containing 900 bullets,
or 1000 cartridges in the aggregate. These
arms and ammunition were ordered by teIe
graph from the Governor of Georgia, and will
Be sent to Savannah by the next steamer
The Same factory has also received orders from
Alabama for 1000 stands Of the same DEATH
dealing weapons.
Cooper & Pond Of this city, receive from
twenty to fifty orders daily from South Caro-
lima, Alabama and Georgia-and people who
suppose that the South is not paying custo-
mer may be astonished to know that their
business transactions in this line are strictly
on cash basis. Cash With thirty days is
their invariable rule Most of the orders are
for rifles and Navy reyolyers, though Cooper
& Pond supply an immense number Of flint
lock muskets. They lately sent twenty gun
carriages to Georgia, and have done brisk
business in all kinds Of small arms and am
runition with ell the principal Southern
States.
Another large house in this city has filed
orders for about 5000 stand of muskets Of the

artillery, swords and army pistols. Its orders
come from all the Southern States but main
ly from those in which secession is regarded
as the only remedy for Southern grievances
A third extensive establishment has supplied
an immense number Of Colts revolvers and
rifles to Georgia, principally to Columbus
All the wholesale houses and agencies in the
city have been hard pressed to supply the Or
ders for every imaginable species OF weapon,
To the above list may be added Ames' Man
ufacturing Co., viii h has furnished Georgia
with cannon and with 300 artillery SWORDS,
and has done large miscellaneous business
with all the aggrieved States.
The Journal of Commerce introduces these
facts with the following appropriate remarks
These Republican editors, preachers and
lectures who think that the Indignation Of
the South is best put down BY ridicule, and
who, therefore lavish the resources Of Their
buffoonery upon every reported attempt of
Southern State to arm her citizens for an i'm
pending conflict, will find in the following facts
more evidence that the South is in earnest,
and that the calamities of disunion, which
hey would laugh away with their ill-timed
tests, are actually imminent
