Our land Is now in the furnace Of affection.
Civil War, one Of Gods own judgments, is
upon US in Ill It's horrors. But whilst it is a
Judgment Of Coo, Furnishing the Inhabitants
of the land for their w1ckedness, il IS also
the earnest conflict OF truth with eFor-of
wrong. The principles and interests in-
yolved are SO vital to the well being
Of man and the honor Of God on earth, that
no christian or patriot can look with indilf-
erenee on,the struggle now going on. Every
pulsation Of his heart wiE be quickened with
government In this its daJ: Of trial, and tor

The war department is oyerTuu with Gppli-
cations from all directions for Springfield
lnusket6 tor the troops under the new call,
row rrady to take the field. The supply of
that style OF muskets is not at present equal
to the demand, and the department. is making
a pro rata division among the States. The
New England troops are specially stringent
on the point Of having no arnt but the Spring
field musket.
Gov. Morton has been telegraphing for more
arms Immediately for the Indiana troops, and
Gov Denrison has been here on similar er-
rand for Ohio. Their applications are being an
sxered with the statement that they can have
only certain number Of Springfield guns,
but that there are plenty Of good Austrian
rifles that eau be forwarded 8: once.
Between this and Monday three caryoes of
captured arms are expected to arrive, which
Will Ut once be used to supply the present
wants. 1t is not known what these arms arc,
hut they are supposed to be Enfield rifles.
The ships manifests were all thrown overheard
before capture, and the boxes are marked
"ecythes,' "hoes," &C., SO that it is impo5-
eible to tell how much can be dcpended.on
from this source ILL the vessels get into port
and are unloaded.
Within short time the governments
orders for arms from abroad will also begin
to be filed, ard meanwhile the rlanufacture
at the government shops is pushed day aud
night. There is no scarcity Of arms now, but
all Cannot ae Euitcd in the pattern Of arms they
want for short tine yet.

BADLY BEATEN A man who bears the
title Of "French Ben," residing on the oppo-
site side of the river, received severe beat
ing, last Sunday night, at the hands of some
soldiers belonging to the 35th regiment. The
facts, as far as we can learn them, are as fol-
lows:
A soldier visited house of bad repute,
situated on the opposite side, last Saturday
night, and whilst there received some pretty
severe injuries at the hands of Ben" Last
Sunday evening his comrades to the number
of twenty or thirty, procured passage across
the river and surrounded the house, demand
ing the,enan who had inflicted the injuries,
stating that they would take him to camp
