Arms IN THE HANDS on THE REBEL PRIsoS-
ERs-AN USFoUSDEp RUnoR ExPLoDED.-For
several days past stories have been circulated
throughout the city-exaggerated as they went
from mouth TO mouth--that great number of
arms had been Struggled into Camp Morton for
the use OF the rebel prisoners on the first favora-
BILE opportunity. Many giving credencc to every
absurd statement in this regard, we have been at
pains to inquire concerning the matter. IL ap-
pears that some of the prisoners bad retained by
permission of the officers in charge such quaint
and worthless knives, of all sorts and shapes,
and such antique. halfcOcked and empty pistols
as they had brought along with them. They
were permitted To retain them because they were
in some sort relics priced by the poor fellows,
and because, though the knives might he useful

ammunition, couldn't 20 off so 70 hurt any
body much. Col Owen, ascertanng the foolish
rumors aiipat ordered the delivery up by the
prisoners OF all these arms which order was
promptly and willingly obeyed Some forty OF
fitv pistols and about three times mIny knives
were taken possession OF. Each article was
labeled with the owners name to be redev cred
TO him whenever he shall be liberated
These are the whole facts in the case, and the
internal secession sympathzers" in our midst
are, in this instance, in no wise implicated We
will add that it indicates singular want of
tdence. on the part of any portion OF the com
munlty, in Col. Owen, who has proved himself a
most able and efficient officer to intimate that

1t is thought among military men the destruc-

uncomfortable proximity to our falling shells. and
that the possibility of Federal success in MiSsis
sppi were the cause of evacuation of the enemy s
works, which are of great strength and capable of
stout resistance.
