It consists of Minnie rifled muskets, Sharpe's improved pistols, Colt's navy revolvers, navy boarding pistols and the improved navy cutlass. There is also on board a twelve pound boat howitzer, fitted for the launch.

This vessel is rated as A2, 1,953 tons burthen, eight feet draught, has two decks; is built of oak, copper and iron fastened; has a walking beam of engine, with a stroke of twelve feet, and a seventy-inch cylinder; was built in Niagara City in 1854 for the lake trade, and was then known by the name of the America.--She was brought down the rapids of the St. Lawrence with the Canada, another vessel of the same line, and was then, after great alteration, fitted out for the Havana trade. The Philadelphia has also been chartered by the Government, and will shortly be gotten ready for service. The destination of the foregoing vessels is supposed to be Fort Sumter, but we should not be at all surprised to find that they are every one to be sent to the Gulf of Mexico for the purpose of reinforcing Fort Pickens and the other forts along the Florida coast.

for the South. The New York papers of Thursday furnish the following list of the vessels about to sail from that port for the South: The Empire City is a hired steamer, of 1,751 tons burthen. She has taken out clearance papers for Indianola, Texas, and is to bring back the troops of the U. S. Division recently disorganized there. The Star of the West is well known for her unsuccessful trip to Charleston and rapid retreat. Her clearance is for Brazos Santiago, Texas, and her dutsoldiers, were placed on the two upper decks. There was a small supply of coal on the lower deck and in the hold, but apparently not more than would have been required by the steamer for her own use during an ordinary passage from this city to Indianola and back. She is no better prepared now to stand a raking fire of cannon than at the time she received the unpleasant salute tendered her from the masked batteries of Morris' Island. She is a lighter vessel than the Empire City, being 1,172 t

She has taken out clearance papers for Indianola, Texas, and is to bring back the troops of the U. S. Division recently disorganized there. The Star of the West is well known for her unsuccessful trip to Charleston and rapid retreat. Her clearance is for Brazos Santiago, Texas, and her duty is to bring back U. S. troops--a duty similar to that of the Star of the West. Her supply of stores, doubtless intended for provisioning the men during their passage to the North, consists of about two hundred barrels of meat (beef and pork,) three hundred barrels of bread, two hundred barrels of flour, several barrels of sugar, beans, whiskey, and such like stores, a few large bags of potatoes, supplies of coffee, tea, &c.

Secession flag Raising. --A large number of citizens, resident in the neighborhood of "Skin quarter," in Chesterfield county, raised a secession flag on the 14th inst., amid the firing of guns and other demonstrations of joy. Samuel Flournoy addressed the assemblage, (a large majority of which is stated to have been composed of recent Union men,) in favor of a Southern Confederacy. The flag bears seven stars, and an inscription of "Secession per se," and "Southern Confederacy." The movement originated with a prominent opponent of the Secession candidates at the last election.
