the progress OF the existing war, to become a
most important arm in its successful manage.
ment We are pleased to see that it is not
to be neglected. In the unexampled aiacri-
ty with which the brave SONS of Tennessee
have responded to the call for volunteers to
resist the threatened and actual invasion of
the South, there has been no neglect of the
Cavalry service. Several companies have
already been mustered into the service, and
others are forming. which we hope to see
promptly accepted by the State for its de-
fence. Among these is the marion Dra-
goons." which will be composed of the bra
vest of the brave, and will be promptly equip

them drill and become skilful in the exercises
peculiar to that branch of the service, and be

felt in the mOmentous struggle now being
waged for the maintenance of our honor and

the trial of the first Cannons made in Nash
vile, (six pounders,) turned out from the es
tablisbment of Messrs. ELLIS & MOORE, OF
South Market street. On arrival at the place
designa ted, we found in attendance Capts
Ross and DEvEREAUx, Ordnan Officers fol-
the State, prepared with all the necessary ar
ticles for testing the guns On examination
with glasses they found the bore and finish Of
the guns all that could be desired. The first
test was with a charge of three pounds of
powder and two six-pound balls 1t was fired
with the muzzle of the gun on a block and
was touched off by Capt. Ross, making rath-
er a sharp, rife report, the shot taking effect
about midway between the waters edge and
Top of the bank on the opposite side of the
Cumberland. The second test was the same
as the first, with like result; and the third.
two pounds Of powder and one six-pOund
ball; showing clearly that Tennessee manu-
fIctories with Tennessee Iron, can make as
good guns as can be made
We are gratified to add, that after these
guns were tested, they were purchased by
private parties. who had witnessed the test

the heat of summer, 1t is the safest aud most
healthy beverage that can be used, and pro

use of distilled liquor.
It is put up in barrels for the use of deal

ing it my duty to those afflicted, and to the
one who cured me of two malignant Fever
Sores upon my legs, which made my life bur-
densome for five years, having applied to
several physicians who could give me no re-
lief, and trying all kinds of medicine could
get, which was recommended for old sores.
All seemed to fail. gave up ever being
cured, and wishsd for death to relieve me of
my misery. For many months my limbs
panied me to that extent could get no
sleep, until my father, who. being cured of a
severe Rheumatism by the Indian Doctor,
at No. 100. High street, purchased for me a
bottle of his Blood Purifier and box of his
All Healing Ointment, which relieved me
Immediately. My legs are now sound and
well. My general health and strength is
better than it ever was in my life. And If /
owe any man on earth debt OF gratitude.
that man is Doctor Anderson. wish every
man, woman and child In the world, who are
afflicted as have been afflicted, who have
suffered as / have suffered, may read this
letter and thus find where they can be cured.

be relieved of misery, and also be permanent
