rIanufacture of Arms.

Previous to the separation of the COnted-
crate States from the Federal Government,
we were almost entirely dependent upou
Massachusetts, and other Northern States for
all our arms except heavy cannon. II has
now become necessary that We make these
instruments of war for ourselves, and under
the circumstances that surround Us, it Is de-
sirable that the manufacture begin at ones
This work has generally been left to the
State to inauzur4te, and machinists have, we
presume. been waning fer specifications and
other inducements to be held out By the State
or General Government. This process would
involve delay, since the public armories are
not adequate to the occasion, and much time
would be consumed in building others or
charging those We now have.
Under the circumstances it becomes neces-
sary to rely upon individual enterprise, but
efforts at manufacturing mnst be thoroughly
organized TO be rendered efficient. Mr.. L.
B. Voolfolk of this county, who has just re-
turned from Richmond. has been commits
stoned TO set on foot measures that will bring
the largest amount of mechanical industry
IN hear QpOQ l1e u Inc mug
KITS. He proposes to resort to the principle
of division OF labor. by which each portion of
the gun viii be manufactured ia different
establishment, and all the parts assembled"
in one central shop. This method presents
great advantages TO those who may engage
in the manufacture In requiring smaller
outlay for machinery, and in enabling those
who will engage in it to commence opera
lions within few weeks, thus sfording the
quickest possible returns, snd by the exclu-
sive use of machinery diminishing the cost
aud increasing the profits in proportion.
By this method every foundry in the State
NAV be made branch of one immense arm
DRY, which operation may commence within
six weeks. and once begun may be extended
30 as to furnish promptly any quantity of
arms that the public interest may demand.
There can be no doubt Of the eminent
practicabiIity of this plan, and Mfr. Voolfolk
will within few days be ready to furnish and
arrange ths best parts of the gun, and will
receive bids from founders, machinists, and
others prepared TO engage in the manufac-
ture, He can be addressed at Nashville.

The Great General.


The greatest General of the age, the master

to victory on the bloody plains OF Manassas.
He is undoubtedly the best strategist in the
field, and the coolest commander in action

The Panic at Fortress MOnrOe-=Ex-
ed and PIliaged.
The Baltimore Republican of Tuesday
evening has the following intelligence from
Fortress Monroe, not a word of which was
forwarded by telegraph. The news that the
Confederates had advanced on Yorktown,
and had sent in a flag of truce to get nom
eombatants out of the way:
The retreat from the village, which took
place at a late hour on Friday night, was
made in great disorder, and was occasioned
by a rumOr which reached the Federal troops
that the Confederates were coming down
upon them in heavy force. An immediate
scamper took place, and the Germans attach
ed TO Max Weoer's regiment of Hessians,
soon began the work of destruction, every
dwelling which they passed in their retreat
was pillaged, aud in many instances ired.
After destroying the new and old jails. they
entered the Odd Fellows Hail. and seized
upon the regalia and books, after which they
set fire to the building. After gratifying
their curiosity by reading the books belong
ing to the ordrr they were destroyed, the re-
gala being retained as "trophies of war;"
a detachment of the Naval Brigade during
the excitement entered grave yard near the
village. and bursting a vault actually bsirsted

doing so that they had been informed that
there was money buried in the vaults
A gentle man who went from this city to
take Photographic sketches, and having a
pass from General Bntler, was arrested by
the Naval Brigade, who refused to recognize
the order of General Butler, and be was here
lore forced to accompany them some distance
as prisoner. but finding they could not
make say money out of him, which was
doubtless their intention, he was released.
On Saturday night Geographic dispatch
was received from Hampton. announcing
that there were sepsn fires raging in Hampton.
A portion of the Naval Brigade We're sent to

hasty retreat back to the Fortress.

81 We observe that the Northern jour
nails are giving Yankee Doodle concert to
revive the people of that section from the
depression consequent upon their overwhelm-
ing defeat at Manassa. The three months
volunteers who are now returning to their
bones give most melancholy accounts OF
that memorable rout, and it becomes abse-
lutsls necessary to do something to restore The
confidence and enthusiasm which that disaster
did so mnch 10 weaken and dissipate. To do
this, they are calling their inglorious SIAM
pede a repulse, and telling all sorts OF stories
about the cruelty and barbarity Of the South
ern soldiery. By such nefarious agencies they
aroused the North to war upon The South,
and will keep it up. The people OF that

liberties, had IS we'll be undeceived at the

they can extend the effort so far as to over

TEE UM1T OF TIE SoUTH.-The
people of sill the States that have entered
into the government Of the Confederate
States, are now thoroughly united among
themselves In an unalterable determination
to accomplish their disenthrallment from the
Northern despotism.. As much as they have
been heretofore divided on questions of eco
nomicaI policy looking to the best mode OF
conducting the government, they have Patri-
oticaIIy laid aside those differences, and unit
ed almost a. one man IN the establishment of
an independent nationality. II is this which
gives rs our strength, sustains our arms, and
will in the end crown our labors with COM
nlese success Nothing but this unity of
wish. aim and action will make Us triumph
ant Let the people remember this, and frown
Indignantly upon any and every attempt
to disturb cur harmony or create divisions
upon whatsoever prete1t.

As MIGHT BE EXPECTED-AN ABOLITION
IsT ON THE BATTLEFIELD-"I TUMBLED HIN
OUT."-The Cleaveland Leader-a noted Alb
clifton sheet-publishes letter from "a
Clevelander," who was in the rout at Manas-
sas, and who went on the ground as civil
ian, In company with Others, having baskets
of provisions and heavy armament of navy
revolvers, carriage, driver, &c. The writer
is member of Congress, who is fierce for
the prosecution of the war, and ready to de-
nounce all as traitors who favor peaceful,
honorable adjustment. In giving an ae-
count of the rout he says:
'Well, the further they (the soldiers) ran,
the more frightened they grew, and although
we moved on as rapidly as we could, the fu-
gitives passed US by scores.
"The heat was awful, although now about
six; the men were exhausted; their mouths
gasped. their lips cracked and h.-ckened with
the powder of the cartridges they had bitten
off in the battle: their eyes starting in fren-
": no mortal ever saw such mass of ghast-
ly wretches.
"As we passed the poor, demented, exhaus-
ted wretches, who could not climb into the
high. close baggage wagons, they made fran
tic efforts to get on to and into our carriage
They grasped it everywhere, and got on to it,
and into it, and over it, and implored US eve
~ way to take them on. We had to be
rough with them. At first they loaded us
down almost to sand-still, and we had to
push them off, aud throw them out. Finally,
Brown and /, with pistol each, kept them
out, although one poor devil got in in spite
of US, and we logged the coward two miles.
finally opened the door and he ioas tumbled
out"
The Cleveland Herald justly and indig-
nantly exciaims:
'sGreat Godl One OF those men with
cracked lips and blackened with powder. eyes
starting in frenzy, who had been without food
for twenty-four hours, and all day In the
most desperate battle of the age, was tum-
bled outn by this member of Congress! And
how he stigmatizes the brave men who had
been risking their lives to keep him safely in
his seat in Congress at Washington ''Ghas-
~ 3retches!'' "Poor, demented, exhausted
wretchesi" "Poor devilsl'> "Cowards!'
Why, slave owner never talked worse about

volunteered to defend Washington aud the

GEN. SCorT.-We print in another place an
interesting article vindicating Gen. Scott, SO
far as be chooses to be INDICATED, from COM
plicity in the disaster at Bull Run On the
points presented, that vindication, if any
were needed, il complete.
There are some additional considerations
that might be submitted at another time,
which would be utterly out of place now.
Gen. Scott is now the sheet-anchor of the re-
public, and everything that strengthens him
strengthens the nation. There can be no re-
naming doubt that he was right in the pre-
misses 10 choosing to postpone an advance,
and .lat we who differed from him were de.
plorably wrong. Let every thought of dis
trust be banisheg, while We rally around the
