MONTGOMERY, April 8, 1861.
Several important items have beenre-
ceived to-day from New York, which
have caused some excitement in this
city. The most absurd rumors are a.
float, and men are leaving for Pensaco-
la on the strength Of them. No import
ant orders have been sent from the War
Department to General Bragg, neither
has anything of positive nature been
received from Washington, unless it be
in the dispatches which came this even
ing, and upon which a Cabinet meeting
was called. The result of this meeting
is not known ; but, Of course, the sur
misses as to it's import are many. There
is little talked of here but Pensacola,
and the prospects there.
The Georgia and Florida troops are
passing through here at the rate of four
hundred day. They are fine, noble
looking men, and avow their anxiety to
be in the field in the service of their
country. They expect work at Pensa-
cola, and look fqaHard with eagerness
for the ball to open.
The offers of volunteers continue to
pour in daily, and am credibly inform
ed that more than forty thousand men
have offered themselves to the War De-
partment as ready and willing to enter
into the service of the Confederate
States, or the Provisional Army. Since
the result of the Connecticut election
has been known, and the probability
that the coercionists would prevail in
the Government at Washington, large
number of companies have offered them.
selves from the Border States. No less
than seven thousand men from these
States have rendered their services du.
ring the last few days. In addition tc
these, two thousand Indian warriors
living on the border, have signifed their
intention of fighting against the United
States Army, and in favor of the Con
federate States. The offers from the
Confederate States is legion, and the
department is overwhelmed with them
This is a voice direct from the people
and in case of the Border States, shows
they are still with US in heart and feel

them to occupy false position.-Ner

sound now bursting forth, now listened

You may fill your churches with

many of the dear dead have been car

they gave themselves to God, seems te

with the spirit.
Think for moment of the assembled
company who have at different times
and in different places, joined in the
familiar tune! Throng upon throng-
the stern, the timid, the gentle, the
brave, the beautiful-their rapt faces
all beaming with the inspiration of then

The EFFECT OF SHoT.-A shot does
not make hole of it's own size right
through wood, but indents it, the fibres
springing back after the shock. Gen
orally, the course of shot can only be
traced by wire, sometimes by hole as
large as mans finger. The damage
most often happens in the inside of a
vessel, in splintering and breaking the
wood, after the main force of the shot
was spent. Forts Hamilton and Rich
mond, which are about a mile apart,
with vessel lying between them, could
not, with their guns, send shot through
two feet of it's timber. There is rare
ly an instance where a ship was sunk
by solid shot. Hot shot and shells
do the mischief: the latter will some
times make apertures of several feet in
extent, through the sides of vessels.
