ference that the arms were intended for loyal
citizens. Yesterday she again called at the store,
and recalling to one of the propretors the former
trade, stated that her son was in the army, and
that several of his comrades were SO pleased with
his pistol that, through him. they forwarded $500,
to be expended in procuring the same description
of arms. While the selection was being made,
one of the firm waited upon the Collector and in
formed him Of the sale that about being made,
when that gentleman requested him to so ahead,
and he would atterward attend to the lady. He
did SO, and having undoubted information that the
pistols were destined for kentucky, he seized upon
them as Contrahand. The fair conspirator, indeed,
in all candor owned up, and aughingly remarked
that she had already made several cOnsignments
to Louisville, and she detied the Collector to make
treason out of it. [Cincinnati Eng.

Crops AND WEATHER.--The weather continues
warm, with no further showers, although the
clouds give daily indications Of rain from all quar-
terss of the compass. The crops, should a good
soaking shower be long deferred. will soon begin
to suffer for a little moisture. The thermometer
has ranged between so and so, Farenheit, during
the week.
Since the above was in type, (Tuesday morning
last) the clouds opened their foodgates, and the
country around and about has been the recipient of
good old. fashioned summer rain, which has put

French musket made two hundred years ago; the
other is the breast-plate Of armor. How this
latter remiuiscence came here is subject of much

Judge Chilton's speech had fine effect, and i'm

thousand dollars in money and cotton were sub

that persons living in town who were not present
have since subscribed. Agents for this place were
appointed by Judge Chiffon, Mr.. Pratt being one,
we believe, who are doing their best to swell the
LIST to hundred thousand dollars, which, we
have doubt, they will accomplish. Mr.. Pratt
| Subscribed ten thousand dollars to the loan for
himself, two thousand for Mrs. Pratt, and two

DR.. Willis Pope and Mr.. VIM. G. Allen made very
liberal subscriptions, the former putting down fifty

There is the highest authority for Contradioting
the stories about the Rebels having made peace
propositions to the Government, though some per-
sons and journals have professed to give somewhat
minute details. There is no truth in it whatever.
On the contrary. the Administration have received
assurances that the Rebels intend prosecuting the
war with the utmost Yigt@, and, if possible, over
| throw the Government and destroy the Republic,
| even though they perish in the ruins. They feel
that the two Governments cannot exist in such
close proximity, or even on the same continent.
No fall official account Of the Great Bethel affair
has, as yet, been made public, and it is thought
here that our loss is much larger than has been
supposed. 1t is known that just as the order to
retreat was given, the Rebels were leaving their
outer intrenchments, fearing they would be carried
