Return the Public Arms.

Col E.. P. Alexander, Chief of Ordnance
of the Confederate States, has published az
advertisement requiring the immediate return
of every musket, rifle, carbine, pistol and sword
belonging in justice to the Confederate service,
but now in the hands of citizens. Citizens are
appealed to by every consideration of honesty
and patriotism to return these without DAYS
delay There is urgent need of them all
For ever one of them. a volunteer is kept out
of the field, sent to risk his life with fow ing
peice, or flint lock. Money cannot supply
their places; they were bought with blood, and
their absence from tie field will surely cost us
more bloed
All having these arms, even parts of them
are implored to return them and magistrates
and police officers, everywhere, sIe requested to
apply the law to those having neither honesty or
patriotism. Let them be sent Immediately, by
express, to Ordnance Office, Manassas Junction,
where all charges on them will be paid.
Those in this county having belonging
to the Confederacy will leave them at the Ord
nance Office in this place, as directed 10 the al
vertisement of Lieutenant G. 7. Getty in another
column.
