An officer belonging 10 Gen. Grant . army who
arrived hero sht from the font, ssys that when
IN. Rebel soldiers learn, ira Mcclellan WA noIn-
mated Nv tho Chic 60 Convention, they gave hearty
cheers. which were dist nc ly heard by our men.

cline in our army. liz ono division in tho Fifth
Corps. which las distn uished itsef for bravery
and efficiency in the presest campaign, there are

Under the Presil enrs lat call FOR Ave hundred
thousand men tie enlistments for the first nine
days Of tie fifty between tn CO aid the time hxed
for tho draft, a,era I: less than two hundred per

AMERICAN MADE ARMS.
IL Is understood that the President has deter
mined to issue or ers TO Inspectors Of arms at pr-
vate sIsenas to insuguratc system of Inspect
ion that shall be more liberal than has been the rule
heretofore.
The stringent inspect that las been imposed
upon arms, inaugurated y the Wet Point element
f the ordnance departmt Mt, WIS fast becoming an
Undesirable oppression VI on the proprietor Of pr-
vate arsenals and was having the eject to dscoVr-
age the worlmon. 1t is ga flying to notice TINS
improvement, az The manufacture Of arms Is be-
coming an important industry in this country.
Ia 1861 Arms could be prod God in Europe cheaper
than here Sinoe tAat timo the heavy Tariff,
abundance Of currency, IN tie extraordinary Home
demand, have SO imulated this business that not
less than twenty million, Of calital have been IN
vested in the most perfect machinery for the manu-
facture Of arms and from ten TO fifteen thousand
skilled work men have become engaged in it. We
can now produce a ms Tor lfy per cent tho cost we
could ia 1861. Hereafter sha furnish arms Of a
quality that no where be equalled, and shall I'M
doubtedly supply the Whole world; and AZ
manufacturers Of arms have heretofore had
but one customer, because Of the proLibi-
ton of eXportaiior, and ~ more arms are pro-
duccd than are now re- uired by the Govern
ment. the President has also determined 10 permit
the exportation, sub eft ony 10 s)me necessary re-
striclions. WoTkmen, also, in private arsenas, are
to be permitted 10 an!.e clubs Of substitutes, To
be sworn into the United States service-the psr-
sons for whom the substitute are to act 70 be re-
ccircd until after the draft, whcE they vii stand
for those Of the club who have bscn drafted.

hosp,asof this department. since tho crossing fihe
Rspdsn by Cen. Grant in hay last, is four thou

osic. forbids any officers and salaried employees
connected with that Bureau fiom engaging, d.
roctly or indirectly, in tho business Of furnishing
