Military Resources.

The war is fast devolving the me
chanical skill and resources. Of our
people. On Saturday we examined
at the foundery establishment of AIessrs.
Cameron & Co, a beautiful wrought
iron twelve-pounder rifed cannon,
made from original models and ander
the immediate superintendent and
direction Of the enterprising pro-
prietors. The piece has not as ve.
| been tried, but from it's appearance
there can be no doubt that it will
prove most efficient weapon for
either field or privateering purposes,
or in fortifcation. It is intended
for rapid firing, and can be moved
very quickly from place to place
The piece is at the workshops foo:
of Hasell street, and open to the ex-
animation of the public. It will more
than repay visit. We also witness
ed in successful operation percu=-
sion cap making machine, capable OF
turning out from $4,000 to $4,000
caps daily. This machine was in
vented by tina: skillful draughtsman
and master mechanic, Mr.. Tylor, oge
of the proprietors. Although SIM
pie in its operation, much thought
and patient perseverance We're req,.i-
site to bring all its nice combinatians
to work with accuracy and facility.
But the necessities Of the State
demanded it. Mr.. Tylor was furnish
ed by Col. Manigault, Chief of the
Ordnance Department, with strip
of copper, a cap, and a star cut from
the copper to show how the caps
were made. Mr.. Taylor immedi-
ately set to work, and in less than "a
months time the machine was in
operation. The copper is cut into
strips Of the proper width, and then
passed through rollers which form
the stars. From that they are ca
ried forward to die and made into
a cap. We would advise the curious,
however, and all interested, to see
the operation themselves. The pro
prietors take great pleasure in extern
ding to all visitors every possible
facility. A large 32-pounder, recent
ly rited at the establishment, and
designed for Fort Sumter, was also
exhibited to us. An attempt at dess~
cription of this handsome piece OF
workmanship would only mar the
pleasure of an examination. The
proprietors have invented machine
for rifling cannon Of any size or
twist that may be desired, from ten
to forty feet. These gentlemen de-
serve the highest credit for their en-
spirit and the zeal they
have exhibited to render service to
the State at a moment of pressing

Ercitemeut ut st. Lou,s.-A gen
tleman who left St. Louis on Wed
nesday afternoon last, after full par
ticulars of the battle at Springfield
had been received, informed the Lou
isville Courier that the people were
greatly terrified, and thousands were
leaving the city. The Germans es-
pecially were packing up and leaving
III large numbers. Soldiers with
muskets were stationed at every corr
ner in the city. The federalists were
under great apprehensions Of an at
tack, and it was the general impress
sion that ST. Louis would within :.
few days be in possession of the Stat
troops. Communication from s..
Louis on the railroads was irregula.
and uncertain, and Constant fears
were entertained that the trains would.
be stopped by the "rascally rebels
4 number of Germans belonging to
Seigel's command, who were in the
fight at Springfield, came into s.,
Louis Wednesday morning without
arms, and generally without hats, and
in a dilapidated condition.
