HARPER's FERRY ARMORY, Jan. 30 1861
Mr.. EDITOR | find the following paragraph in
your paper of 29th inst: at is said that valu-
able improved arms are being sold at Harper's
Ferry, for mere trile, in obedience to an order
given several months ago, by Secretary FLOYD, os-
tensibly to sell lot of old and uuserviceabe
arms
The only arms th at have been, or are being sold
here, are lot of Halls rifles, which were made
about the year 1882, and were condemned as unser-
! viceable during the Florida war. They had been
| lying, boxed up in the arsenal, for II years.
These arms are breech-loaders, but in the battle
field, are about apt to inure the shooter as the
| shot at.
When some Of them were sent to a company in
the FLORIDA war, the captain sent word to the De-
| partment, "For Gods sake send me arms which
| will give the who stands behind as 0ood a
| chance as the one he shoots at ~
| Perhaps your correspondent is not aware that
there is an officer connected with the Ordnance De-
partment, who is inspector Of arsenals and armo-
rles, who makes an annual tour Of inspection If
there are unservceable arms or stores of anv kind
on hand, the superintendent has an accurate nven-
| tory and description of them prepared which is
presented to the Inspector together with the stores
| Ii, on inspection he thinks they are worthless
| to the Government, he recommends to the Depart
ment that they be sold, and the matter is merely
presented to the Secretary of War for his official
| sanction. When the sale takes place. it is viola
| tlon OF the rules governing the armoii les that
single item shall be sold that is not included in
| the inventory submitted to the Department. The
|
| lntendent OF this armory, Alfred NJ. Barbour $50 .
should be an assurance that no wrong would be
| done to the Government under his administration
which is not only popular here, but approved by
| the Ordnance Department.

DEFENSIVE PREPARATIoNs.-If any one doubts
that the South is in in her present attitude
visit to the Tredegar Works, in this city, will
| dispe the delusion. Even the " eminent Seward"
might learn something from survey of operations
| there at the present time. We have heretofore
noticed the shipment of formidable implements of
war to the seeding States, and there are more of
| the same sort in preparation. Two ten-inch Co
| lumbiads, destined for Alabama one nearly COM
pleted, and two fierce looking mortars for South
Carolina, will shortly be ready for the troops of
| that Republic In the casting of one mortar and
one gun, last week, $4,000 pounds of metal were
used. Smell and cannon shot lay about promiscu-
ousiy and in heaps, and large number OF men are
| engaged in the manufacture Of these destructive
| messengers. Several cannon, of large and small
cahore, are in process of manufacture, or already
completed, and in another department the gun car
riages are getting ready, under the hands of com
| petant workmen. The whole place has warlike
aspect, which looks strange to US who have SO long
] patch.

The PRINCE OF WALES made quite brilliant

The PRINCE OF WALES made quite a brilliant en-
cry into Cambridge the 10Th ultimo, on his way
to Gls College. The bells of the town were rung
and flags and banners displayed, while the munich
pal,authorties, in the servile phraseology in use
abroad, ''humbly craved permission to offer to his
Royal Highness" their congratulations. The Prince
was then duly matriculated member of the Uni
versity, swearing to maintain the supremacy of the
Sovereign, her heirs and successors, the Church
of England by law established and the privileges
and imnunities of the University. After this there
was irregular scramble among the ladies present
for the pen with which the Prince signed the
circulation book. The Prince, we told put on
his academical robes, went through the buildings
with the Master of the College, Rev. DR.. Whewe
and ended the day in the Tennis Court with Gen.
Bruce.
On election day, at Richmond, bands of music
