es improving the quality of the powder. As other examples may be mentioned the casting of shells with polygonal cavities, securing the bursting into a determinate number of pieces, ingenious devices for the ignition of time fuses for the shells of rifled guns, etc. As giving some idea of the scale on which the current work of the arsenal was done, the following statement may be quoted from a paper written by Genl. Gorgas after the war. The principal issues from the Richmond arsenal from July 1st, 1861 to January 1st, 1865, including work done by the Tredegar Company and by outside contractors, were: 341Columbiads and siege guns. 1,306Field pieces (including captured guns repaired). 1,375Gun carriages. 875Caissons. 152Forges. 6,852Sets of artillery harness. 921,441Rounds of field, siege and sea-coast ammunition. 1,456,19Friction primers. 1,110,966Fuzes. 17,423Port-fires. 3,985Rockets. 323,231Infantry arms (chiefly arms from battle fields repaired). 34,067 Cavalry arms

A few words upon the most important supplies furnished to the armies will close our sketch; and in order that we may complete two official reports, both incomplete, we shall embrace in this summary the two years comprised between the 1st of July, 1861, and the 30th of June, 1863: the figures we append herewith were considered by the Secretary of War as below the real amount. During the year 1861-62 the government bought 109,799 horses and 83,720 mules: what disposition was made of them is not stated, but at the beginning of the fiscal year, July 1, 1862, we find in the depots 14,842 and 16,899 respectively of these animals. During that year the purchases amount to 174,832 horses and 86,254 mules, of which, 45,755 horses and 46,226

rience in such a war would occasion. We have, however, had some experience, and the mistakes and indiscretions of the past should be a warning for the future. There is a decided change for the better already perceivable, and we are sure the dignified and gentlemanly appeal of the honorable Secretary of War will have the effect of inducing the press to be still more guarded in what it has to say about preparations and events: Confederate States of America, War Department, Richmond, July 1, 1861. To Newspaper Correspondents: Gentlemen:--While I have not withheld permission from any of the representatives of the press to visit the camps in Virginia, and while I am as much the uncompromising advocate of an unshackled press as I am of the freedom of speech, and of the Independence of the Confederate States, yet I have thought it proper, under existing circumstances, to make an appeal to you to forbear from the transmission and publication of such intelligence as might be d

I am, gentlemen, yours very truly, Fred. J. Cridland.

Virginia State Convention.Sixteenth day--[Second session]. Richmond, July 1, 1861. The Convention was called to order at the usual hour by Mr. Southall. Prayer was pronounced by Rev. Mr. Hall. Mr. Macfarland arose and said: The Convention will please give me its attention for a moment, while I refer to a gross misrepresentation which appears in the Dispatch of this morning, [in the report of the proceedings of the Convention as reported by the Reporter.] purporting to be a report of a conversation which occurred upon the floor on Saturday last. I say the misrepresentation is gross — gross. If it proceeded from ignorance, the ignorance is pitiable; if it proceeded from design, the malignity is contemptible. I refer to the conversation which occurred between the member from Wetzel (Mr. Hall) and myself. I have called his attention to the statement in the Dispatch, and am happy to find that he concurs entirely in the correctness of my recollection. I will read a portio

[from our Special Correspondent.] Fredericksburg, July 1, 1861. Another engagement occurred at Mathias' Point on Thursday afternoon, in which nine of the enemy were killed and many others wounded. Our troops took a large number of picks, spades and sand-bags, and left the field unscathed, as usual. From the accounts which have reached me, I judge the enemy numbered about fifty, and landed for the purpose of erecting some kind of defence. The accounts are so vague that I am unwilling to give any statement positively, except that of the number killed and the quantity of implements found in the deserted boat. Captain Ward, of the Freeborn, was killed. Our citizens were thrown into quite a furor of excitement yesterday afternoon, about 6 ½ o'clock, by the arrival at the wharf of the steamer St. Nicholas, of the Baltimore and Washington line, and at a very late hour of the night the wharf was crowded with those dubious about her identity, and curious to know the circumst

From Norfolk.[Special Correspondence of the Dispatch.] Norfolk, Va., July 1, 1861. It is evident that desertions from the Lincolnites at Old Point have recently taken place. Several small boats have floated ashore at Sewell's Point with muffied oars, which warrants the conclusion. They have been secured by our forces, and appear to be boats belonging to some large ship, probably the Cumberland. It is likely the deserters made their escape at night, and after landing some distance up the bay, set these boats adrift. Capt. Ferguson, commander of a company at the above Point, came into our city on Friday and brings us this statement. Mr. Thompson, of whom mention was made in a former letter, states that the infamous Pendergrast presents a lock of depression which bespeaks of deepest sorrow, and it is said that his own associates do not respect him, and are actually afraid to place the least confidence in him. There is great sickness, I am told, prevailing at Old P
