Guss.-A peep in cat the Arsenal
under the Leighton House, discloses the
fact that Keokuk might be pretty we'll
armed on short notice. There were
great many military organizations in this
part of the State holding State arms which
disbanded or vent into service, and their
arms, some of which were left in a most
deplorable condition, are being collected
together and put into seryiceable condi-
ton by our STATE authorities, until We
have now between !, 900 and I, saU guns,
including some excellent rifles, besides
the 50 held By the City Rifles" in the
keokuk Arsenal. Many OF the State
arms were loaned to Missouri companies
and many are still in the hands of indi-
viduals throughout the country, which
are being collected as fast as circum stan
ces viii permit. Regular military com
panies by fling proper bonds. we under
stand, can secure arms. on application to
Col. G. w. Lowrie, of this city. We OBJ
serve the Arsenal is well guarded, night
and day, and the tap Of the drum would
bring oat hundred men from the Hos
pital rooms above in Eve minutes, in case
of an attempted seizure.

THE REBEL Press IN EURopH.--We have seve-
raj times explained the nature of the connec-
tion between the rebel ENJOYS in London and
pitfalls, and warned our readers against placing
undue reliance upon the statements OF those
journals. By our latest files from Europe we
see that the Paaie, of Paris, asserts once more
that "they learn from London, on good autho-
rity, that there is nothing but what is very pro-
bable in the question of the recognition of the
seeded States being Immediately brought on
the tapis and solved, in accord with France, in
the sense of fats accomplis'
The Patrie has made this same statement not
less than q dozen times during the last six
months 1t is well known in Paris that even
before the advent Of Slidell the PHrie was a
subsidized organ Of the Davis government,
Judge Rost having accomplished that transac-
ton before he was superseded by Slidell. The
Potrie has, for space of many months pub
iished the most unfounded statements as re-
CARDS our affairs, and has inserted on more
than one occasion fabricated dispatches and
letters made up in Paris, thereby rendering
itself liable to punishment for the dissemination
of false news, had our Minister in Paris have
chosen to give an example of frmness, and
thus checked the lies and mischievous state
ments of the Davis organs in France.
The Patrie has. at times given, in its semi
official capacity, publication to rumors of
arrangements between the Cabinets Of st.
James and the Tuileries for immediate action
IN, Of tha Oft
ments used upon those occasions, the con-
clusions arrived at, and, in fact, giving
so circumstantial a description of the whole
affair as caused great uneasiness to loyal
Americans abroad. Time invariably proved
these assertions to be base fabrications,
and we may safely assert that now, as then,
the Patrie utters a falsehood when il states that
recognition is near at hand. With it the wish
is father to the thought; it hopes, perhaps,
that the lie but precedes the action. France,
however, has matters of more direct import
to her to attend to. At present the Italian
question is evil sufficient for the day, while
she must settle her affairs in Mexico, and place
herself upon better footing there, ere she in
tervenes in our quarrels.
Both France and England are we'll aware that
any direct steps on their part in favor of the
ceded States would call forth bitter and prompt
reprisals from the indignant North, and they
are well assured Of the power and might which,
once thoroughly reused, would set the world
ablaze.
We have nothing to fear from the soi-disant
allies, except underhanded tricks and coward
ly encouragement to our enemies. Open aid
they will never get from England, however
foolishly or rsshly Napoleon may act in the
matter.

TuE DRAFT AND THE ExEMPrIoNs.-One of the
most amusing episodes, perhaps, which the war
has produced was the result of the panic created
some months ago, when the draft was first
tpoken Of upon tie Presidents call for an addi-
ti6hal six hundred thousand men. Hundreds Of
people upon that occasion suddenly discovered
that they were subjects or citizens of any realm on
the face of the earth except the United States of
America. Weakened skedaddlers began to
bolt in focks towards Canada and Europe, and,
when hauled up by the peremptory orders from
the War Department, those who were not lucky
enough to get away made raid upon the foreign
consuls, the County Clerks Office, and every
other point where an exemption claim could be
fled. As to the County Clerks sanctum, it
was fairly besieged with applicants, and the
eddition to his fees from this source alone, in
the shape of filing papers, administering affida-
Wits and SO forth, must have been something
handsome Notaries public and commissioners
of deeds made small fortunes out of the fears
Of those who anticipated the unsought honors
Of carrying a musket, wearing brogans and eat
ing salt pork in the ranks of our patriotic army.
Thirty thousand dollars, we presume, did not
cover the amount expended in this way in the city
during week or two. The best part of tho affair
is that all these precautionary measures amount
to nothing; for, according to the order of Gene
raj Anthon none of the exemption claims SO
put in hold good. Every able bodied man
liable to do military duty must take his chance
in the wheel Of fortune when the day Of draft
arrives. Whatever claims to exemption he may
have must be decided by the appointed CON-
missioners; 80 that oil the time, money and
anxiety expended by the weak-kneed and weak
backed have been thrown away.
