The Sword Makers Of Richmond.
In the show room Of the Ames Manufactur~

Mass, hang two remarkable specimens Of
caga1ry sabres, the history Of which is thus
given. Some two years ago the manufacture
Of swords was commenced at. the Richmond

To this armory at Richmond, the stolen ma
chinery from Harper's Ferry has since been
added A couple Of Thousand Of these prun~

hammered out the blades into rs many differ

not interchange with any others! So they
shipped them to the Ames Company, with a
request to have them fitted to scabbards, or

almost any one else, but Yankee ingenuity

TO Hon. PHI. B. Fouke:
slR w hen you undertake to defend Gen.
halleck's Order No. 5, do it for yourself, not
1or tho army Of the West, for you libel it and
10 injustice to the men, even Of your own
command, in many instances by leaving the
impression that it is endorsed BY all the sol
dicrs in the field. You would not dare to take
tue same position at home before your con-
st'tuents, am sure, for they are not all fools,
surely. Sir, it ought to be known BY this
time to the seo1ad-bt leadcrs-of the nation, and
particularly to tho Legislative and military
ieadefs combined, that 'Nberty and Union,"
cu7VSeafaon OF al property of rebels, and the
Mancipaffot1 of all their Slaves, arc the desircs
ana demands of the great army Of the stars

monlze with these ideas arc offensive, sud Al
1ns'At to the nation and its brave defenders, At
such times as these, while freedom so1s arc
being murdered by Slaycocratic trlitors.
ANY Order which will need Congressional

lhe recent instance Of private William
johnson, Of the Lincoln Cavalry, shot dead
IN the presence of a division Of the army
Of the Potomac, in accordance with the
finding Of a Court Martial, opens q new
cru in the war. Hc is the first to expiate
with his life the crime Of treason. True,
his military offence was desertion: but 1t
was more than that, because hisflight from
our lines was towards the encmy's camps,
His design was not merely to escape service
IN the ranks, but to betray to the rebels
important secrets with regard to our forces
and their position. So full was he
OF this purpose that it escaped him
at his first interview with what he sup-
posed were rebel pickles. Fatally for him,
his traitorous revelations were made by
this mistake to our own nen, and his ar
rest, sentence and death followed in rapid
succession. The necessity Of the stern ex-
ample was undeniahle, and the entire divis-
ion was marched by his bleeding corpse
to make more sharply apparent and real
the deserved penalty Of treason.
And this humble Pennsylvania private is
the first who has paid his life forfeit to
the dark disloya1ty which las precipitated
upon the land the horrors Of civil war
From his dishonored grave solemn voice
calls that lie should not be the last and
only one among discovered traitors to meet
thejust doom Of treason. Tardily drawn,
the sword of Justice should s1uite others
far more guilty than this poor soldier
Earlier than now, seven months after the
Inauguration Of this rebellion, the Govern
ment would have won dignity and vindica-
ted itself more unmistakably before tie
world, by q rigor humane because preven-
tive, righteous in every point Of view, and
made the more notab1c in seeking out for
examples traitors, 1ot1icr in position and Of
darker guilt.
If it was q capital offence for Il lowly
trooper to 60 over to the enemy with the,
al best, scanty means Of injuring the Gov
erument by his revelations, what should it
be for officers high in position to transfer
not only themselves but their important
trusts, military and naval, to the side Of
the rebellion? What should be the doom
Of those detected and arrested while con-
spring against the Government? Have
we won respect abroad by misplaced gen
tleness in the treatment Of these greater
traitors, and has not the rebellion grown
r. r
under Buchanan; and continued up to the
present period? Punish the lowest often
der, but let not the highest escape. Prompt

Gen. Stone, in command at Edwards's Fer

cecding diligence at niggcr catching, aud this

him at the siege Of Lexington. These were
oycrioyed to sec the Colonel, and it was IN in-

Mulligan and his Indy with soldiers fare, and
then formed his regiment in line and formally
presented to them tho hero Of Lexington,
They received him with three tremendous
cheers, to which 1c responded in a short
speech full Of eloquent illusions to the history
Of the old sixty-ninth. He said that ColoneI
Corcoran and his men nearly atoned by their
courage and vaIor for the disaster at Bull Run,
and under their new leader they would still
bear up the Republic On thcir lines of loyal

volunteers that enlisted for three years OF dnrlng
the war; to serve longer than three years, il the
enlistment?
By answering the above question you will oblige
many readers.
Very respectfully, E. RI.
Two OF three inquiries are sent US Of this
class. By the terms Of enlistment the yolun-
tcer may claim his discharge if the var closes
at any time within three years otherwise that
is the limit of his service The alternative is
in his favor if the war is Of brief duration, but
he limit is given at which he is released by
expiration Of the term he is enlisted to serve.
