LETTER reox general HRsx1segEv.-From the

LETTER FRoM GENERAL instrumentation the
Montgomery Mail we extract the following T.:
The following report of the committees appoint
ed respectively by the Governor and both branches
of the Legislature of the State Of Alabama to test
the efficiency and safety of the called Law Minnie
muskets Cor u. S. muskets altered into Minnies)
confirms the opinion expressed OF them in a re-
cent letter to the Montgomery Advertiser. The
solution of this question might appear to be only
matter of State interest to Alabama, and Of only
limited interest to her, as these arms were but few
in number, and as no others of the same character
can, that am aware of, anywhere be purchased.
l beg leave, however, to call attention to the
matter, because in fact it is important to all the
Southern States. large portion of their armament
now consists, and may for a long time consist OF
various kinds of o. s. muskets. By recent returns
the United States Congress it appears that since
last spring over COO United States percussion
muskets and flint muskets altered to percussion
have been to the United States arsenas in the
Southern States. 1t became, therefore, matter
of public interest to determine by authenticated
experiment that, by alteration, the range and ac-
curacy of these arms could be MANIFOLD increased
up to the full efficiency of any heretofore MANU-
| featured by the United States Government, and
| that such alteration may be effected with perfect
| safety. ... ..I.
This, submit has been fully established. I would
| remark in conclusion, however, that IN the use OF
all longranging rifles, much depends on the shape
and perfect manufacture of the shot, as regards
accuracy aud continued facility of loading. AL
the shot have seen South, including those cast
from the mOulds furnished with the last Y United
States Minnie rifles deficient in one or other OF
these particulars. The shot furnished with the
Law Minnie rife, differ from the original form and
are very badly cast. The shot furnished with the
United States last Minnie rife are defective in shape
| The former would often eEnbarrass inexperienced
hands to push down the barrel. The latter must
often tear within the barrel, leaving in it portion
| of the lead, which | hear those using them com
| plain of. a slight alteration in the noulds will,
| however, ohviate this difficulty. 1t is worth re-
cordng, that in the experiments aboyereferred to,
| several hundred shots fired from each Law
| Minnie musket without washing out, and without
missing fire. the same result may be obtained with
any Minnie rife even by the inexperienced, through
the use of properly made shot and by loading in
| a proper manner; otherwise, some difficulty and
disappointment may be experienced.

Col Ben McCnlIoch publishes circular to those
who wish to enter the military service Of Texas,
the object of which is to have every man prepared
for the service who wishes to enter it for twelve
months, if not sooner discharged. The Colonel
says that the Federal troops are now abandoning
the frontier posts, and their places must be occu
pied by those of Texas as soon as possible. He
saya:
Our frontier must be protected. Let it not he
said that Texas cannot defend herself she did in

men Of Texas respond to the call.
A good horse Colts pistol and light rife, or
double barreled shotgun that can be used on horse
back, are the best arms Tor sHch service.
Mr. Lorenzo Castro, one Of the Commissioners ap-
pointed by the Governor to receive testimony in
regard to losses suffered by our frontier citizens
from Indian depredations for the past fourteen
years. and also to ascertain the names and ages OF
persons killed by Indians in the counties of Atlas
| coso, Medina, Uvalde, Bandera, Kerr, Gillespie,
Blanco and Bexar, has furnished the following ez-
tract Of his general reports hi"

Total amount of various damages suffered in the

THE VULNERABLE NoRTu.-In case Lincoln and
his Administration choose war with the South, one
of the first steps in Southern enterprise will be the
issuing of school books and other works that have
been copyrighted by Northern men. From this
source alone an immense profit has been annually
drawn from the Southern people. Another meas
ure would be the establishment of works for the
manufacture OF Northern patented articles. A
sewing machine for which the Northern patentee
receives fifty dollars can be made for ten. The
Southern maker can sell for twenty-five dollars and
realize an enormous profit. So with Colts pistols
Or sharpe's rifles, or agricultural implements, and
a hundred other things. And this would be almost
as nothing compared with the cutting up of
Northern commerce ny priyateers. The Southern
people can stay at home and destroy the North.
They now stand on the defensive. They await an
invasion. B;it when it commences they will strike
the North in every vulnerable point.
