Inspection of Arms.

On Friday evening last, the arms OF the
'sStaunton Artillery" and Augusta Guards
were inspected by Adjutant General Richardson
at the Stanton Armory. After a careful in
spection, he said that he had never seen arms
kept in better order After the inspection was
completed, the s'Staunton Artillery" with two
cannons, commanded by Lieut.. Hartman, the
'Augusta Guards" commanded by Capt. Bay,
lor, and the interesting juvenile "Junior Blues,
commanded by Capt. Lilley, paraded near the
Depot, where they were reviewed by Governor
Letcher, General Richardson, Major-General
Harper and Brigadier-General VIM. H. Hartman.
After performing various evolutions in the most
gratifying style, they saluted the Governor, who
was escorted by Generals Harper and Hartman.
The weather was unfavorable, as it was raining,
but it did not dampen in the least the military
ardor of our noble soldiers.
We challenge any town In the State to con-
trast its military companies with those of Staun-
ton. We feel proud of them-they would be
an honor to any town in the Commonwealth.
After these ceremonies were over, the "Juniol
Blues" marched to the "Virginia HOTEL" before
which, In the presence of the distinguished dig
nitares before mentioned, they exhibited the
remarkable proficiency in drill which they have
attained, and gave three cheers and tiger fol
the Governor. If these little "Junior Blues
were provided with arms, they would soon bt
enabled to give the sblues" to any enemy they
might be called upon to encounter.

The .svireinia Pacificator."

We have seen exhibited by Lorenzo Sibert,
Esq, and Col. J. Marshall McCue, Of Mt. Scion,
in this county, the greatest gun of the age, with
the above designation. The workmanship Is of
the finest character, and was executed by gun
smith in North River Gap, near Mt. Scion, by
the name of William Shafer-excepting two
elliptical silver plates which constitute part
of the establishment of the stock, which were
engraved by Messrs. Garfield, Bro. & Co.,
Baltimore. The one on the left has the
words, "The Virginia Pacifcator" around the
border, and the Virginia coat of Arms in
the centre. The plate on the other side has
the thirty-three States represented by the same
number of stars around handsomely shaded
border, and pair of clasped hands in the
centre surrounded by the motto
GA union of guns and union of lands,
union no power shall sever;
A union of hearts and union OF hands
And union no power shall sever
This gun is certainly piece of most ingenious
mechanism, and yet so simple that it can be
used with ease and dispatch by any one who
has ever handled any ordinary gun. The for
tunate inventor is Mr.. Lorenzo Sibert, of this
county. So far as we are able to judge, it prom
ises to supersede all others, SIS soon as it can be
manufactured in sufficient numbers to be brought
into general use. The model we saw will shoo
40 times without re- loading, as fact as the trig
ger can be pulled. This gun may be made, b,
increasing the length of the chambers to shoe
almost anv number of times in the same way.
