BREAk1NG Ur.-The Republican
party is breaking up in all the States.
Judge Martin Growers letter shows
how large and serious is the detection
in this State; and Senator Doolittle
has just published letter which
practically puts him in a position to
affiliate in time with the Democracy
of the Northwest. He says:
81. That the policy of Mr. Lincoln
and Mr.. Johnston, of leaving that to
be determined by those States for
themselves, is the only just and wise
policy.
go That it is in accordance with
the letter and spirit of the Constitu-
tion.
~. That it is almost inconceivabIe
that any Federal Administration
should attempt to enforce universal
negro suffrage in States where, fo1
two hundred years, the negroes have
been degraded by slavery, when, at
the same time, nearly two-thirds OF
the free States deny suffrage to per-
sons of the same race, who have been
educated as freemen, among freemen,
with the thoughts, habits and respon-
slbilities of freemen.

from the Charleston Courier, in which

I do not know from what source he
has drawn his information, nor do
doubt the sincerity of his assertion,
but as every citizen of the State is
interested more or less in the records
OF this Office, and those of the Sur

relieve the anxiety which may arise,
by correcting mistake into which he
has fallen. The records of the Sc
cretary of State, and Surveyor-Gene-

know something of these records,
from painful experience in saving
them. -
Ny long connection with these
offices had taught me; the inestimable
value Of their records to the State,
and I thought of the enormous job Of
packing so large a number of books
and papers, and getting them off in
time to save them. With the short
notice given, I knew if I saved them
I must sacrifice every thing I owned;
this, sooner than see the State lose
that which could not be replaced, I
determined to do, and by laying aside
my private interest, devoting my
achole time to the service of the State,
working day and night, using my own
wagon and team, and the servants of
Il friend, and leaving the contents of
my own house, and the house itself to
the torch Of the enemy, succeeded in
packing and saving every record and

An interesting paper, relative to
the small arms trfede of Birmingham,
was read a, few days ago before the
British Association. We extract the
following:
tTrom ssthe returns I have in my
possession, Ihave drawn out as accu-
rately as I possibly can, the; number
OF arms manufactured In Bnn1ing-
ham and elsewhere, FOR the Ams1s-
cans, during the last four years. The
first shot was fred ut Fort Sumter,
on the 10Th of April, 1861. On the
9Th Of May following, Ave purchasers
OF arms, some commissioned by differ
ent Northern States, others private
spectators, arrived in Birmingham.
Each had so well kept secret the OBJ.
ject of his mission, that when they
found themselves all engaged in Bir-
mingham on the same errand, they
suspected each other Of purchasing
for the enemy, and their anxiety was
increased accordingly to secure the
few thousand arms that were then in
store in Birmingham. The few in
hand were at once shipped off, and
large orders were at once given,
which continued to occupy the trade
at their full power, with one interval,
till March, 1868. The interval I
alude to was on the occurrence Of the
Trent affair, in November, 1861,
which led to an embargo being laid
On the export of arms, on the 4th Of
December, 1861. This embargo was
removed, early in 1862. On the re-
moval OF the embargo, one steamer
took out from Southampton no less
than about $1,000 rifles to New York.
The trade worked at its full power,
straining every nerve, till q fnd by
the return from the Birmingham
Proof House) that in one month-the
month of October, 1863-6O, 343 rifle
barrels were proved. being very few
short of 1000 per day from Brming-
ham alone, number altogether un-
precedented in the history of the
trade. At that time, the supplies
produced in America, at the Spring
field Armory and elsewhere, began to
tell upon the demand. We still find,
however, that the numbers were
40, 600 to 50, 600 per month, till March,
1868. They then fell to $4,000 per
month, till, in September, 1868, the
Northern demand ceased altogether.
Without notice, the orders were sus-
pended, and guns that had been sent
over were even returned to this coun-
try. The United States Government
found, at that time, that their facto-
ries were equal to supply the whole
demand. From Proof House returns,
I obtain the following numbers, show
ing the extent Of the supply of arms
