tely known. Although they submitted the ordinance for ratification to vote of the people, to be taken on a day then somewhat more than a month distant, the Convention and the Legislature, which was also in session at the same time and place, with leading men of the State not members of either, immediately commenced acting as if the State were already out of the Union. They pused military preparations vigorously forward all over the State; they seized the United States armory at Harper's Ferry, and the Navy-Yard at Gosport, near Norfolk; they received, perhaps invited, into their State large bodies of troops, with their warlike appointments from the so-called seceded States. They formally entered into a treaty of temporary alliance and co-operation with the so-called Confederate States, and sent members to their Congress at Montgomery; and, finally, they permitted the insurrectionary Government to be transferred to their Capital at Richmond.

Though not quite so highly polished, his rifle is equal if not superior in shooting qualities to that of Springfield or Harper's Ferry. Mr. Barrett manufactures every part of the rifle except the lock, and will manufacture that when it can no longer be bought. Mr. Brown, of Washington county, Va., is manufacturing powder.
