GLAb nc HEAR 1.-THE Richmond Ehig
of Friday, in an editorial on the war says :
''WGare no longer without arms. An immense
supply Of them and Of ammunition is now Oh
hand
This is capital news, if il be true. The Hing
does not, of course, give any details explanatory
of its statement, but the statement itself is Of SO
positive a character as to show that it rests upon
reliable authority in the estimation Of that jour
nal, from whose columns alone we get the iutor
nation, no other that we have seen contain
ing IT,.
Il we have the arms we can get the men, and
we presume that with the i" immense supply "
mentioned by the Hdig, we shall soon see our
armies sufficiently increased 10 enable them to

~GREENoUGHs LOUD FIRE-A Yankee
journal says:
Some thirteen years ago, A. Lincoln, then a
member Of the House Of Representative, and
H.. Hamlin, then a Senator, brought before those
bodies q discovery Of " liquid FIRE " as a means
of attack and defense. Mr. B. +. Greenough. of
Boston, is now experimenting, before officers de-
tailed for the purpose, with a " liquid fire "
which he throws through a small force-pump,
through twenty-five feet of rubber hose, in 3
fluid state. At the nozzle Of the hose it passes
through wire gauze, on leaving which it is jg-
uited aud thrown in q stream Of flame, setting
fire TO what it strikes. Perhaps before long he
may try it ina setting fire TO the navy yard at
Norfolk.

FERRY DIFFICULTIES. I'VE regret to learn
that very vexatious difficulty exists be-
twecn the two ferries opposite this place
John Prosser and E. S. Davis proprietors.
The former. who established ferry here
some years ago, and has maintained II
through many difficulties and embarrass-
ments to the present time, desired very nat.
urally to enjoy his privilege without COM
petition; but the increasing business at
this point on that line, offering inducement
to enterprise, to engage in the same bust
ness, Mr. E. S. Davis, an old and highly re-
spected citizen, applied for and obtained a
license to establish ferry short distance
below the place Of Prosscr's crossing, and
has built very good boat, and is running
it, at we suppose, profit. Mr.. Prosser, on
the ot..cr hand, has tried to get an niunc-
ton, to restrain Mr.. Davis, but failed in that.
Previously he had bid off at Sherif's sale,
the land over which the roads from both
ferries pass, and on the strength, we sup
pose, of bis proprietary rights in the soil,
proceeded on Saturday to cut down the sign
of tho lower ferry and INSTRUCTED the road
with brush &c. There was good deal of
excitement on that day, the town being full
OF people, but fortunately no serious acct
dent. We trust the matter may be adjusted
