- THE CASE or G APT. ARMSTRONG. vilnf
Capt. Armstrong. late commander of
the Navy yard at Pensacola. will probably
be deprived of the ceremony. Of IA court
martial, and be summarily stricken from
the roll of the Navy without trial., after
the manner Of Gen. jackson in the case Of
Col. Gates. This will of courc be very
unsatisfactory to Capt. Armstrong, who
will undoubtedly seek trial according to
the regulations, where he will attempt TO
defend himself, and bring out some new
incidents of the; secession scheme, ,

Secretary Floyd boasted in his Rich.
mond speech that he had supplied the pub
lie arscnals of the South with arms as a
precautionary measure; but he failed to
state what provisions he had made at the
the expense Of the Government he had
betrayed. for his own private equipment.
The fact has been ascerfained that two
splendid pieces, imported or manufactured
at the expense Of the War Department.
disappeared simultaneously with the de-
parture Of the late Secretary. and it re-
mains to DC seen whether that funetionary
has carried them away by mistake. OF
whether some subordinate has stolen them
lmputations of the grosscst character are
freely indulgel in by military men here
which hesitate to repeat. 1t Is rumored
that the matter is before the Gran.l Jury.
and If that rumor turns out to be true. il
is to be hoped that the purloincr may be
brought to justice. Among the missing
pieces are double barrelled shct-g OF
Richards best. imported from England by
the order of Secretary Floyd. at cost OF
S2f5, exclusive Of duties, and a double
barrel rife which Floyd had male for him
self at Harpcr's Ferry. One Of similar
pattern was made at Springfield for his
Chief Clerk anil Lieute nant-Gen. Drink
ard. who probably retains it in his posses
sion in a state Of armed neutrality
