Seizure Of Eight Hundred Rifled
Muskets by the Authorities.
From the Pittsburgh Republic, Goth ult

From the Pittsburgh Republic, Goth ult.
Some days ago the United States dis
trict attorney Tor the western district OF
Pebnsy !vania, r. b. Carnahan, Esq
received Information that the enians IN
Erie were receiving large quantities OF
United States arms and the usual equip,
ments. Mr. Canadian received instruc-
tons on The sui Jet from Washington
lhe hrSt discovery OF the shipment OF
arms to Eiie was made by the watchful
agents Of the BRUSH Minister.
Mr.. Carnahsn telegraphed to the sheriff
OF Enc county, requesting him TO keep a
lookout for tie arrival Of the arms intended
for Fenlan Demonstration. On Satur-
day last, the sheriff seized eighty>one
boxes, apparently containing arms. They
were found 10 the possessions Of captain
N. j. Cronln, prominent Fenian of
Erie. The captain, on the seizure Of the
supposed arms, said he ev n didn't pro
pose to harm Canada, but i! he makes such
an attempt, be hopes to succeed better than
the New York branch of the Fenian in
sututlon did a, Campo Be!o.
On Wednesday, district attorney Car
natan proceeded 20 Erie TO look into the
matter. On Thursday he made an ex-
animation Of the boxes seized by the sheriff.
There were eighty -one boxes in ALL of the
usual pattern of government: boxes for
the storing arms. The boxes were sealed
and marked as if containing hardware,
glassware and cry goods. On directing
the boxes to be opeped, MIR. Canadian
found that twenty. one Of them marked
hardware, contained eight hundred and
hfty new United States ritled muskets, in
perfect order and ready for use. The re-
malnder of the boxes sixty in number,
marked as if containing dry goods and
glassware, were found Of muskets accous-
rements, such as cartridge boxes, belts,
oayoue' shea,hs and knapsacks-a!l
entire new. In fact, except powder and
lead, all the material necessary to put a
regiment Of Fenians on a war footing W as
found.
The arms were shipped from New York
10 EIle ty persons unknown. They were
formally taken possession of by the United
States military authorities at Erie and
placed 10 store houses inaccessible to the
beligerent trshmen.
1t is supposed that the parties at Erie
interested in the ownership of the arms,
viii attempt to regain possession of them
by an action of replevin against the
United States officers in whose charge
they are.
The government officers at Erie appear
to be on the alert for Fenlan demons
STATIONS. There is small garrison of
troops stationed there, (who have charge
OF the arms above referred) and the re-,
venue cutter Commodore Perry, in the
harbor, hold jealous watch and ward over
all departing vessels. Every boat and
vessel going out of the harbor is over
hauled and examined, and some small
craft have been brought to time rather
suddenly.

TIE Army WonM.-Thls pestiterous
worm has already made its appearance in
this country, and promises to become very
troublesome the coming season. We
understand that in some places the mead
ows have been already destroyed, and in
others very much injured. They are
thorough in their depreda,ions, commenc
ing usually on one side of the field, and
cutting everything as clean as if moved
with sharp scythe 10 the opposite side.
Crops of all kinds are destroyed without
mercy. They are the dread and the bane
of every farmer. Should some person in.
vent a process BY which these plaques
could be destroyed whenever and where
ever they make their appearance, be
would confer great blessing upon the
wealth and labor of Southern Illinois.
They are very often found so thick tina,
thew entirely fill bitches and burrows, and
lay N piles on the ground.--Nount Yer
