IT IS a COMMON OBSERVATION that there
are more sufferers from debility, among
Americans, than can be found among any
other civilized nation. The reason is OBJ
vious. We take too little exercise, and
forget the wants of the body in the absorb
ing pursuits of business. la all such
cases, ordinary medicines can do little
good. What is required is inst such Il
tonic and invigorltor as DR.. ]. Hostetter

From WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, Oct. s.-As the Campbell
Artillery were passing near the Presidents
house this afternoon. on their way from
the great cavalry and artillery review, the
the ammunition box on one of the gun car
riages exploded with noise of n cannon.
The box contained shell and solid shot
The three artilierymen sitting on the lid
of it were violently lifted, aud falling into
the street were considerably bruised. They
were at once placed in au ambulance and
taken to the hospital.
The explosion was principally at the back
of the ammunition box, that section being
broken into several fragments, while the
lid on which the men were seated escaped
fracture. It's doubtless owing TO these
facts that they were not more seriously
injured if not killed. The wheel horses
were severely scOrehed.
Secretary Cameron left Washington this
morning to thoroughly inspect the Pitts
burg cannon foundry with view to pro-
viding an increased supply of artillery for
the army.
a telegram from Gen. Rosecrans says he
will be able fully to sustain himself against
tile combinhd forces of tho rebel Generals
Lee and Floyd. Neither he nor Fremont
will have OCCASION TO complain of INSULT
cient force, ms the administration is not I'M
mindful of the Importance ofafor1ing them

WAsHIxGroN, Oct s.-AIr. Date, the Com
missioner of Indian affairs, has returned
from his official visit 10 the Indian tribes
in Kansas aud Nebraska. He was receiv-
ed by them with gladness. They sought
every opportunity to express to him their
friendliness TO the United States. He con-
versed with returned Kansas officers, who
took part in the battle of Springfield, and
who informed him that no separately or
ganized Indian tribes were with the rebels
on that occasion, but that comparatively
few of the half tribes only were in the
ranks of the enemy.
The efforts Of the rebels ut arFaying the
Indians against the U. s., so far as tue
Commissioners could learn, were attended
with only partial success. The Indians, as
class, are disposed to he friendly, bnt
those who were in hostility have been CO.
creed in their course by the rebels. No
doubt is entertained that 1t would require
no persuasion to raise a large Indian force
in Kansas and Nebraska to operate against
those who may be brought into the field
by the rebels.

From tile cincinnati Gazette oflast night
western Yirgiuia.


Willie "the greatest military review ever
witnessed on the American Continent" was
taking place Mt Washington, yesterday, n
call for help flashed over the telegraph
wires from Gen. Rusecrnns; and the Wer
Department, in response, asked Gov. Den.
nison to send forward achievements. Two
Ohio regiments llnve accordingly been or
dpred to the Kanawha.
1t appears that Floyd and Wise have
been reinforced, aud Rosecrans and Cox
had fallen back from Scwell Mountain
The report is that Lee had reinforced the
rebel Generals, hut this cannot be, for it
was only on Thursday that the rcconuois-
mnec Under Geen Reynolds found his army
to be fifteen thousand strong; and he could
not have reinforced Floyd since thnt time.
That the rebels have bcen strengthened
is undoubtedly true, but it will lie found
that this strength came from Beauregurd
and not from Lee.
While tue grand army is being reviewed
at Washington he can afford to send men
over to ovcrpowcr Ruserrans; and when
the latter is in Hanger, Ohio is telegraphed
tO rcinfhrce him; while Kentucky is calling
for help, and Gen. Johnston is at Columbus
with IL force greatly superior to any we
can bring against him, preparing to strike
II blow in that direction. Well, Rosecrans
is in danger, but Washington is safe.

FEELuNG THE SLAVE PULSE.

those who have any accurate knowledge Of the
Slave States have not been looking TOR al imme-

dcporable event has not yet arrived. Up to the
present time the relation of master and slave in

when the slaves find themselves deserted by their

IMPLEMENTS OF WAR.

In the present struggle between the patriotic
masses OF the Free North and the desperate
u,,rmidons of the Slave Power, stlDg to mad
ness by the unexpected resistance ttey haze en-.
couDtered 10 their reasonable plots, there is not
likely to he any serious want OF the material for
soldiers by either party. But regiment OF
infantry, arIptd with the nmt-lork mu'bcis of
our Revolutionary sires, would make but sorry
fight if opposed by an equal number Of well-d s.
clpned forces equipped with rlfled muskets and
supported by battery of rlfed cannon. 1t is
not surprising, therefore, that the attention of
the public in both sections should be drawn to
the means ut hand for efficiently equppihg their
respective forces, or that the mechanical inge-
nuity among us, at least, should be largely con-
centrated on the means available for supplying
the deficiency resulting from the wholesale theft
of our munitions Of war by the chiyalrlc South.
1t will be useful, therefore, to lay be ore our
mechanical readers, and the public as well, a
summary Of what has been done, aud what
needs to be done, in ths lue, that they may
avoid useless expenditure of money upon
schemes which have been tried and found I'M
practicable, and possibly aid in the develop
ment Of more efficient weapons Of oiIense aud
defense.
GunpOwder is the InOtive-power Of modern
warfare. 1t bears the same relation to the
sings and crossbows of primitive times that the
steam engine, as developed in the locomotive,
bears to the chariots in which the warriors of
aotquty went forth to battle. When We re-
feet that the pressure of the gases generated by
the explosion of gunpowder has been ascertained
by actual experiment to exceed twenty five
hundred atmosp hcrcs, or thirty seven thousand
pounds per square inch, and that the initial ve-
locity Of rne-ball is not less than one thousand
feet per second We see the folly Of oil expert
ments looking toward the use Of high pressure
steam or centrifugal motion as substitute for
powder.
The difficulties in the use Of steam-guns are 30
many and obvious that they have been entirely
abandoned; but centrifugal guns have again and
again been brought to public attention, aud at
the present time some Of our morning journals
are endeavorDg to puff into notoriciy one On
trial in this city. The ab.urdity of the statement
that sit ia capable Of throwing 800 shot per
II" minute to O distance of nearly mile" becomes
evident when we compute the power required to
accomplish this result An initial velocity of not
less than q thousand feet per tecoud would be
required to attain this distance. The weight Of
