The Effect Of Freedom.
While tho District emancipation bill

acknowledged "cause Of the rebellon,'
were loud in their protestations against
the bill. They suddenly acquired a re-

Springfield Mnsjtcts Wantefv
The War Department is overrun with
applications from all directions for Spring
Held muskcts for the troops under the
new call, now ready to take the field -
The supply of that style of muskets is
not at present equal to the demand, and
the department is making pro rata di-
vision among the States. The New Eng
land troops are specially stringent on the
point Of havi g no arm but the Spring
field musket
Gov. Morton has been telegraphing
for more arms Immediately for the Indi-
ana troops, and Gov. Denpison has been
here on similar errand for Ohio. Their
applications are being answered with the
statement that they can have only GER
tain number of Springfield guns, but that
there are plenty of good Austrian rifles
that can be forwarded at once.
Between this and Monday three car
goes Of captured arms are expected to ar
rive, which will at once be used to sup
ply the present wants. 1t is not known
what these arms are, but they are sup
posed to be Euield riffs. The ships
msnifests were all thrown overheard be
fore capture, and the boxes are marked
"scythes," "hoes,' &c, so that it is i'm.
possible to tell how much can be depend
ed on from this source till the vessels get
into port and are unloaded.
Within short time the governments
orders for arms from abroad will also be.
gin to be filled, and meanwhile the man
utacture at the government shops is
pushed day and ri ght. There is no scar
city of arms now, but all cannot be suit
ed in the pattern of arms they want for a
short time yet.
SPRINGFIELD MUsKErs.-The Spring
field musket is composed of ZIG distinct
pieces, each one the exact counterpart OF
the corresponding piece in either of the
others. SO exact is every minutla con-
nected with the make of these guns, that
the Government allows but variation Of
the 25 10 600 part of an inch in ths
bores Of the pieces. These bores are
tested by means Of truncated cone,
with defective figured circles, inserted
into the muzzle of the piece, and the
variation detected By microscopic exam
ination. The same mathematical exact
ness is required in the work Of every
part of the gun.
