We presume from the complexion of the report Of
guns ill be allowed to CO. While we look on this as
madness shall not oppose the decison Of the meet
ing this afternoon, the subject. The telegraph In
forms that these guns ordered for the forts at
the mouth OF the Mississippi and at Galveston before
the outbreak of the present excitement on secession.
II true then why not counermand the order at once
Before the guns reach their defamation, the States
which would certainly either seize or demand their
surrender will las we told on all hands, have
coded from the Union and shall we be foolish enough
just TO place the guns within their grasp
Although we had been assured that no shipment Of
small arms designed three dray loads Of thirty
heavy boxes, which the draymen informed con-
tsined muskets and bayonets, were hauled from the
Arsenal to the steamer Key West, late Wednesday
afternoon, directed GairestOH, Jerds. We have no
doubt the remaining will be shipped from time TO
time, until on the South seeding, she will have all
the arms and the National Government none
There are large amounts of cannon, arms and ammu-
milton at Baton Rouge and st. Louis, and there can
be excuse or honest reason for robbiDg this part
of the Union Of all means Of defense.
Major Symonton assured our reporter yesterday
there were more orders TO FILL and that be had that
day received communication whatever from the
War Department. We cannot reconcile THIS with the
fact that two citizens Of Lawrenceyile state three
dray loads Of boxes marked Galveston, Texas, left
the arsenal that afternoon that other citizens. and
of reporters load OF ten boxes, and that
the drayman stated that the boxes contained muBkets
and bayones, and he taking them 10 the steamer
Key West at our wharf. We give readers all the
information obtain-and the sources whence u
is derived. They draw their own conclusions.
Wepresume these guns and the Is, 600 muskets, cav
airy accouterments gunpowder, &C., &C., owned by
the United States and now at the arsenal will be
shipped South and be in the hands of the enemies of
the Union before the 4th OF harch-and that Lincoln
will find the arsenals IN every Northern State "a bare
OF arms and munitions the national Treasury is OF
cash. the Indian trust funds Of bonds the present
Administration Of honor, honesty or petriotlsm-for
our Northern people has q supersious reverence for
law and order which will not allow them TO thwart
treason, unless by due course OF Law, when III their
power. The meeting to-day will prove mere
safety valve" for surplus gas and to-day the stealing
Of tie public deieDses i'll go under the order OF
thote cut-purses Of the Republic who have already
" robbed the Exohequer y
Those who have engaged in the work will have the
satisfaction of knowing that every dollar thus earned,
is stained with the blood Of soldier shot down by
these arms in defending the national flag
The Committee on the subject have received nothing
from Washington--not even an acknowledgment that
their earnest remOnstrance had arrived.

The REMOVAL OF THr CAssOs.-The removal OF
the cannon from the Arsenal TO the wharf we learn
will take place to-day unless the order be counter
mandtd. public meeting has been called by the
Mayor, in pursuance Of request signed by large
number Of leading citizens without regard 10 party,
10 convene at the COurt-House this afternoon at
o'clock for the purpose of taking the matter into con-
sideratiOn From the feeling exhibited by our people
generally we have no doubt that the meeting will be
large one. In the meantime it is TO be hoped that
the officers who have the matter in charge Will recon
cider their determination 10 remove the guns Their
removal would not be prudent in the present excited
condition Of the public mind. The people have lost all
confidence in the fidelity and the patriotism OF those
who have control Of the Government. Let there be
general attendance at the meeting, and full ex-
precision of feeling The times demand decisive &C
ion.
