WAsH1SGTox, Mar. 22--Weare assured
from a perfectly reliable source, that
there is not an Armstrong gun in this
country; nor has Sir VIM. Armstrong
ever made gun for any other service
than that of the British Government.
The large rilod ordnance procured from
England by the rebels are made ut the
Lowmoor WoSks, and arc made after the
design of Captain Blakely, formerly Of
the Royal Artillery.
About twenty OF these Blakoly guns.
100 poundor rifed cannon, have been
delivered 10 the rebels, which with thirty
smooth cannon, constitute all tho heavy
ordnance Of the enemy obtained from
abroad which has escaped capture,
Most Of the riaed cannon used by the rob.

and many Of them have burst from the
enomous,strOin put upon them, which
they we're not designed to bear.

head Of six hundred men. detailed in

D9scourasr D the South,

A French gcndshan Of distinction
who went to Richmond few weeks since
full Of admiration for the spirit display
ed blythe rebels, anda strong sympaLhizer
with the cause, has recently returned in
very different state of mind. He re.
ports that the feeling at Richmond is
one OF utter depressions and despair
the leaders try TO animate the courage Of
their followers by false statements Of
southern SUCCESS, aud by boasts Of what
they are going to do; but the people are
not deceived, and the prevalent Impress
ion was, to use ouf;n!ormant's own words,
"that secession WAS surrounded by a wall
Of fire from which it was impossible to
escape" It's only necessary, we think
to read the rebel journals, aud notice the
desperate efforts made to draft men into
the military service TO be convinced Of
the ruth Of the represeutalion.-IN. Y.
