For their mother, may Heaven defend her.

We are assured from perfectly reiia-
BILE source that there is not an Armstrong
gun in this country, nor has Sir VIM.
Armstrong ever made gun for another
service than that of the British Govern
ment. The large riaed Ordnance, pro
cured from England by the rcbele, were
made at the Low Moor Works, and are
made after the designs of Capt. Blakely,
formerly of the Royal artillery. About
80 Of these Blakely guns are hundred
Founders rified cannon, have been deliv-
cred to the rebels, which, with thirty
smooth siege cannon, constitute al tue
heavy ordnance Of the enemy obtained
from abroad, which has escaped capture.
Most of the rifed cannon used by the
rebels have been sfneeth Navy guns Fifed,
and many of them have burst from the
enormous strain put upon them which
they we're not designed to bear.
Lieutenant Worden is improving. His
friends are now confident that he will
completely recover his eye sight.
