The GEORGE LAW MusKETs.-A gentleman
who arrived to-day from Virginia, says it was
reported there that the Geo. Law muskets
which have made the circuit of almost the
entire globe for purchase-which were ship
ped in the barque Grapeshot and sent to
Vera Cruz several years ago, in the hepe of
their being disposed of to the Mexican gov
ernment, and which were afterwards boxed
off to Italy TO be sold to Garibaldi's army
were finally brought back to Montgomery
about two months since, and made such a IA
3orable impression upon jeff Davis, that he
at once purchased them to the numb2r or8,000
at Sl3 a piece. These muskets originally
cost George Law 81 so each, and for altera-
alton, 81 IS additional. When they were
distributed and fred, it is said that nine out of
twelve Of them instantly burst.
A commission was accordingly appointed
by the Southern Confederacy to examine
them the result of whose labors proved or
rather confirmed what was abundantly prov
ed, that they would be more dangerous to
the person using them than to those at whom
they might be discharged Phil Press.

DESPERATION OF THE TRAIroRs.-Col. For
ncy writes TO the Philadelphia Press that a
desperate contest must be expected. The
traitors perceive that thus far they have been
outgenoralcd, hence buid forward movement
is demanded at the hands of Davis and his
set, TO save themselves. Davis has at last
reached Richmond lie is there in bad health
and worse spirits. lie is there a broken
hearted, bankrupt man. All his chiefs are
sick OF sulen. There is not one man in the
whole cabal that is not either ashamed or dis
gusted with himself They look upon the
movements of the North with terror and with
horror. hey beheld the awful power of the
Government of the United States, now rap
idly developing, with amazement and wonder.
They know that their only safety is in fight,
and fight they will, even if it is but one bat
tie, and that their last on earth.

Much has been said of the privations of
the lst and I'd regiments Ohio Volunteers
since they left our State for Washington, and
some censure has been cast upon the State
authorities. This is unjust, as the regiments
before they left the State were mustered into the
service of the United States, the Government
assuming the task of arming and equipping
them and if there is blame anywhere, it at
taches to the Washington rather than the
Columbus authorities. But Gov. Dennison
has not been Indifferent to these complaints,
and he has commissioned w. A Platt Esq, of
Columbus, to repair to Washington with full
authority to Immediately supply all their
wants without further waiting on the motions
Of the federal government.
