Recent occurrences Rave strengthened the
conviction in the popular mind. not only
that the present treasonable outbreak in

pose. but that it has been encouraged and
promoted by the active use of the patron
ace. moRey, and means of the general Gov
ernment, applied to this end by members
of the Cabinet 1t has already been stat
ed on the authority of Cen. Wool. that on

10000 muskets at the Watervliet arsenal
to be sold to S. B. Lamar of Savannah,
Georgia, at $3.50 each; and that they were
shipped on the l4th. He has also recent.
ly ordered large quantities of ordnance
and warlike stores to be remtved from the
arsenal at Pittsburg to extreme southern
points where there are no United States
troops. and where they are morally certain
to fall into the hands of the disunionists;
and has expressly authorized all the arms
deposited in the L. States arsenal to be
taken possession of by S. Carolina mil

inquiry into the matter, and We find that
dnring the year 1860. there have been re-
moved from the armory in this city, and
deposited for safe keeping in other arsenals
of the U. States, l35, ,430 Government
arms, as follows;
