work is TO begin.
Through the medium OF our private
correspondence in st. Louis, by which
means the public were made aware OF
the first shipment Of arms to Memphis,
(which, for reasons best known TO them
selves. the Radicals destrOyed), We learn
thst the utmost activity exists among
The dealers and manufacturer of arms In
that and other Western and Northwest
srn cities, and that Weil-known Radical
emisssries are purchasing large quaint
les sf weapons Of all sorts, and ammuni-
lion, for shipment South. From the same
authority We learn thstfcur cannon OF the
heaviest caliber were recently brought to
st. Louis for shipment 10 Memphis. For
whom or what purpose these guns are
destined, no information has az yet been
elected. As soon, however, as it is
known We will make it public to our
readers.
From all directions the same informa-
ton comes to us-the purchase If " arms
for the South" by the so-ealled State
governments, or seslawsg emisssries.

Again, the New York Sun OF s late
date, under the head OF "COntrabaDd
Arms for the South, " says, e~ditorially:
"Several individuals are now in New
York engaged in purchasing and ship
ping arms 10 Southern States. One Of
them is from Texas and another from
Georgia; two are from South Carolina,
and two or three others are from Als
hama, Louisiana and Tennessee. They
are purchasing revolvers and repeating
or breech-loading rifles. All the models
of muZZie-lOading weapons are discarded
and The purchasers are understood to pre-
fer short barrels to long ones"
There remains, as We have stated, nc
