Death Of the State Armorer.--The Dispatch
received on Sunday an intim2tion of the
death Of A. M. Bali, ESQ.,. the former Superin-
tendont of the Armory at Harper's Ferry 1t
was, however, on . subject which did not ad-
init Of q wrong announcement, and being
withal couched in very ambiguous terms, ii was
deemed better not to give currency to it. II
appears, however, that Mr.. Ball il dead. He
reached Harper's Ferry, from this city, last
Thursday evening, and shortly after retired,
to all appearances, in his usual health but on
going to his room the next morning he was
found dead on bis couch. His death is
ascribcd to apoplexy. The loss of such man
at the present juncture is to be regretted on
many accounts. While the Harper's Ferry Ar
mory was owned by the late United States
and Mr.. Ball was Superintendent thereof, he
acquired a high reputation for mechanical
skill. He made many valuable improvements
in machinery for the manufacture of firearms.
Mr.. B. was also distinguished for gentlemanly
bearing. and was much esteemed by a large
circle Of friends.
We call attention to the following paper
which was left ut this Office, as we have init
| mated, on Sunday. There is great reason
why its recommendations should be attend
ed to:
"a subscription has been opened at the TX
change Hotel for the relief of the widow and
four children Of our lamented friend, Master
Armorer at Harper's Ferry, A. NJ. Ball, of
Virginia who has left his Wife and four chill

Ereainq Parndes.-Just now the most in
teresting localities in our vicinity are camps,
and especially so in the latter part of the day,
when the volunteers assemble upon their even
ing parades. On these occasions the President
is frequently present and reviews the forces.-
This was the case yesterday afternoon at How
ards Grove, where are encamped the Zouaves,
the Washington Artillery, of New Orleans, a
Regiment of Georgians, and other corps whose
names do not occur TO mind. Probably not
less than three thousand ladies and gentlemen
were present on foot and in vehicles, and
between the gay attires and handsome faces
of the women, the various colored uni
forms of the soldiers, the flashing bayonets,
the martial tramp Of the men, and the
inspiring music Of the band, the scene was in
vested with life and beauty that kept out OF
mind the solemn object Of all this demonstra-
ton.
The President was on horseback, accompa-
MED by Gov. Letoher and an aid. Hon
Pierre Soule, of Louisiana, and Ex-senator
Wigfal,, of Texas, also mounted, were likewise
upon the field, interested observers of passing
events.
| In all the camps, preparations for active ser
| vice are constantly going on. Men are daily
| drilling, inuring themselves to the hardship'
| hereafter to be encountered, and learning those
| lessons of the soldier which is to enable then
| when in the presence of the enemy to combine
their brave determination with the most etiec
| tive mode of displaying it in the defence o
| their rights, their homes and Eresides.

Percussion Cap Naehine.-We are gratifed
to announce the completion of ibis ingenious,
and, at the present time, very important piece
of mechanism, and we are now independent,
80 far as the manufacture Of percussion caps
is concerned. We witnessed the operation of
it yesterday, and found that it turned out caps
as expeditiously, and as well, as the famous
Government machine exhibited at the Me-
cbanics' Institute some years ago. 1t is,
moreover, handsomely finished, and not likely
to wear out by constant usage. The caps,
which it turns out at the rate of 10000 a day,
are as good as any we ever used. The inven-
tors and makers of this machine are Messrs.
W. L c. Bradley, whose establishment across
tho river has heretofore produced some as fine
and ingenious work as any manufsctery in the
country. They are certainly entitled to the
thanks of the whole South for what they have
accnm plished in this instance

Virginians do not begin to appreciate the
fact that we are at war. If SO, thousand
carcasses Of the enemy would by this time
have told the tale. We have been preaching
about guerillas. Where are they? On pa
per. jackson, the brother Of the Alexandria
martyr, ia the only one of whom we have a
bloody record. lie is doing his duty like a
man. Some nineteen are said to have already
fallen under his rife, and not a night passes
that he is not skirting among the bushes, and
picking of the outposts of the enemy. Had
every man done as well, Virginia soil would
not be trayersed With the holiness and impu-
nifty which characterizes its present invaders.
When one can inspire terror, what may not
hundred or thousand do. If there are
guerillas, let them be no longer n myth. Go
to work. Let bullets take the place Of words.
Mott Of the old Officers of either the Navy
or Army of the United States, who were en-
