F. DROWN.
COPY-RIGHT SECURED.
Prepared only from the Original Prescription of the late
PROFESSOR MUTTER.
AT FREDERICK BROWN’S,
Northeast corner of FIFTH and CHESTNUT Streets,
Philadelphia.
This Remedy Is a safe and simple preparation from the
receipt of the late distinguished Professor Mutter, with
whom it was a favorite prescription. That he used it in
his extensive practice, insures to the timid a certain
proof of its pure aud innoxious elements, and to thoso
who know his character for skill and careful attention,
to prescribe only such remedial agents as should secure
restoration without euW-ju-jnt evil, h vyiit be
welcomed as a real good. Under the guidance of a Phy
sician (to whom its combination wit! unhesitatingly be
made known), it will always be found very beneficial,
and in cases where a medical adviser is not at hand, it
may be used with safety, according to the directions, in
all cases of short or long duration. For sale at

The Invasion from Eastern Kentucky,
[From tilt Richmond Dispatch, Nov. I-i.]
It has been apparent, for many months, and is
obvious now, that the enemy is making a formidable
demonstration towards East Tennessee from Eastern
Kentucky. Our correspondence from Tazewell
count}’, in Southwestern Virginia, which we pub
lished yesterday, sets down the column operating
against Colonel Williams at ten thousand strong, and
it was believed that the force before General Zolli
coD'er. from which that general has been obliged to
retreat upon Cumberland Gap, is probably twioe as
large. At the same time that we hear of the re
treat of Colonei Williams upon Found Gap, we hear
amtrehensions expressed for the safety of Gen.
Zollicoffer at Cumberland Gap.
The object of the enemy in pushing forward these
columns is probably threefold. The chief purpose,
dpuMsss. is to bring into ( its own support the large
disaffected element of the population in East Ten
nesseo which have been corrupted by the clamor of
Andy Johnson, Maynard, Brownlow, and Trigg.
The next object of the enemy is, probably, to get
possession of the salt works on the western corner
of Smyth county, where half a million of bushels of
salt ft year are now manufactured. And last, but
not least, the enemy aims at the possession of a por
tion of the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad, so as
to cut our direct communication, from the seat of
Government, with Nashville, Mcmphiß, and our ar
mies in Western Kentucky. The clandestine burn
ing of bridges, at a concerted period, in Eastern Ten
nessee, proves the enemy’s designs upon this im
portanthighway of transportation and travel.
It is very plain that, however ouc own Govern
ment may depreciate the importance of tluise de
signs of the enemy, the enemy himself is pushing
them forward With his accustomed enterprise and
perseverance, It looks now as if the oid tacticsare
to bo repeated. We are to sit still until the coun
try is occupied—until the enemy has enterod,
taken possession, and made himself at. home ; and
then we are to wake up to the fact that something
must he done. In military tactics, no les3 than in
medical economy, does the maxim hold good that
an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
It is not yet too late to bring this maxim into play.
A few regiments, and a moderate supply of arms,
ammunition, and artillery, properly, but immedi
ately, distributed at commanding points in South
western Virginia, Eastern Tennessee, and along the
chief approaches from Kentucky, will do more now
than a great army could effect if once the enemy
gets into that region of country.
Southwestern Virginia is intrinsically very im
portant to the Southern cause. She has sent a very
large quota of her young men into the Confederate
anny. Her population are true, and we have an
earnest of what it is disposed to do in the announce
ment from Tazewell, which we published yesterday,
that General Bowen, of that county, was bringing
his brigade of militia into the field to meet the
enemy in the passes of the Cumberland Mountains.
That is the temper of the people in all the counties
of that region, Smyth, Wythe, Washington, R.us
soll, Lee, Scott, Wise, Buchanan, and Tazewell.
They lack arms and ammunition, but they do not
lack the disposition to fight the enemies of Virginia,
or to meet and drive back the minions of Lincoln.
They may lack skill with artillery, bat they are
masters of the rifle, and know how to make that
Instrument speak a language before which tho
stoutest invader must recoil. No Government can
afford to let such a population as this be overrun,
or to lose a district from which so many of its best
soldiers are supplied. Intrinsically important as
Southwestern Virginia is to the Government, from
the qualities of its people, it is even more import
apt from its geographical position. If that country
he given np, and East Tennessee be in conse
quence lost, the empire of the South is cut in
twain, and we become a fragmentary organiza
tion , fighting in scattered and segregated locali
ties for a cause which can no longer boast the im
portant attribute of' geographical unity,
We arc glad to believe that the Government is
fully impressed with these views,.and that orders
have already been issued to meet the emergency of
the case. A strongdemonstration in the threatened
quarter would overawe the enemy, and keep him
ut hay behind the rocky ramparts of the Cumber
land ridge of the Alleghanies If he knows that
the whole Secession population of the counties of
Southwestern Virginia are armed, provided with
ammunition and artillery, awaiting his approach,
and that several Confederate regiments are
guarding the passes cf the mountains and the
line of the railroad, he will not dare to show his
face on the eastern slope of the Cumberland bar
rier, even if he should have the temerity to attempt
to force the passes.
The Perris of Peace.
[From the Richmond Dispatch, Nov. 14.]
PHILADELPHIA.
nol2-12t*
De Bow's November Review has an admirable
article entitled the “ Perils of Pence.” The obvi
ous danger of an immense Yankee immigration,
which will Abolitionize the Eorder States at the
ballot-box, unless such restrictions are placed npon
the exercise of suffrage as will prevent them, from
ever httvim; a vote, are painted in letterg of light.
AYe have often referred to this danger as one which,
if not provided against in time, will render all the
blood and treasure expended in the war entirely
profitless. The same writer also contends that,
whilst our present foreign population, which has
proved eo gallant and faithful in the Southern
cause, should retain the possession of every right
which they now have, the same privilege should
not be conferred upon future emigrants to this coun
try. Ho also expresses the opinion that no Euro
pean, and, we may add. Northern citizen, now re
siding in the South, unless it be one who is still an
alien in feeling, will condemn a feeling whieh docs
not deprive Northerners or foreigners, now vi
siting here, of any right whieh they possess, but
only proposes to exclude hereafter those who are
now endeavoring to deprive every Southern man of
his liberU es ‘
Froposed Hew Rebel Flag.
(From the Richmond Dispatch Nov. 14.]
YYc cordially sympathize with the desire so gene
rally expressed that the present flag shall not re
main the permanent ensign of the Confederacy. It
looks altogether too much like the old concern for the
emblem of a separate and independent nation.
While we are emerging from the chrysalis, the pre
sent flag may appropriately represent a transition
state ; but, when we nave attained onr unquestion
ed place among the nations, let us have a flag as
different from the United States flag as it is possible
for the wit of man to devise. Wc want nothing in
our insignia, any more than our principles or senti
ments, to remind us of the hypocritical despotism
which we have thrown off.
McCulloch's Army to Winter in the Ar
kansas Valley.
(From the Fort Smith (Ark.) Times, October 123.]
"We have iftiWin&tioti from reliable g6UNS6S that,
after a sixty days’campaign, in Kansas and Mis
souri. the McCulloch division will fall bach into
Arkansas! The quartermaster has advertised for
the building of stables to accommodate 5,000 army
horses and a largo number of mules; also, for
100,000 bushels of corn and 3,750 tons of hay, to
forage these animals.
The valley has been drawn upon during the on
tire summer and fall for the support of General
McCulloch’s army, and we hope and trust that the
encampment of such a large number of men and
animals among us this winter will not materially
pinch us in our own necessary supplies.
The Galveston Cm/ww*says that “at last ac
counts (Jen. Houston was slowly recovering, and
was deemed out of danger.”
Governor Brown, of Georgia, in his message to
the Legislature, recommends an advance of two
thirds the value of cotton to planters, and that the
State pay the war tax, and subscribe to the con
struction of a direct European steamship line.
Georgia has fifty regiments in the held, he states.
Zollicofler’s Plans.
The Louisville Journal, of the 16th inst., says
It is reported at the Crab Orchard that Zollicoffer
had blockaded the road from Cumberland Gap to
the Ford, by blasting immense rocks on the hills
and rolling them down, so as to intercept any for
ward movement of our troops, while he moves his
forces to aid Buckner.
If Zollicoffer has made these unusual efforts to
render the road leading into Tennessee impassable,
we do not believe it was to enubiu him to make n
detour to Bowling Green, but on account of his ap
prehensions of being cut off. We showed yester
day by extracts from the Richmond Examiner
that the Confederates were fearful that Zollicoffer
Could not maintain his position, and these fears have
doubtless been predicated upon the destruction of
the railroad connections in East Tennessee. At
Nashville, on the Otb inst., it was reported that two
bridges had been burned the previous night on the
Georgia State road, 15 miles beyond Chattanooga,
at Chicaxnargo creek, in Hamilton county, and
on the 12th this report was confirmed ; while it was
stated, in addition, that another bridge over tbe
Hiawiissee river on the East Tennessee and Geor
gia road, in Bradley county, two on the Tennessee
and Georgia road over Lick creek, in Green coun
ty, and one over Holston river, at Strawberry Plains,
Jefferson county, was also burned, Hamilton and
Bradley counties are to tbe west of Knoxville, and
the Georgia railroads pass through them, while
Green and Jefferson counties are to the east of
Knoxville, on the borders of North Carolina, and all
railroad communication from Virginia and North
Carolina comes through them. Such being the
case, wc arc not surprised that Zollicoffer should
endeavor to block up the passes of the Cumberland,
or that much anxiety should be felt in Nashville on
account of his critical situation. The rebels ac
knowledge that the destruction of these bridges
was a preconcerted plan, that the loss is heavy, and
will cause great in«onY»Bience, Cumberland Gap
is in Claibourne county, Tennessee, and there is
only the small county- of Granger intermediate to it
and Holston river, which is the boundary between
Granger and Jefferson counties. If the repair of
the bridges in this vicinity will occupy any time,
Zollicoffer cannot obtain transportation for his
troops, to nid Buckner in any advance movement
the latter mny contemplate.
The proximity of our forces in Southeastern Ken
tucky, under Generals Thomas and Schoepff, to the
Tennessee line, and the number of fugitive Ten
nesseans in our army who are thoroughly ac
quainted with the various paths across the Cumber
land and tbe Long Mountains, render it highly
probable that frequent communications have boon
field with the friends of the Union in East Tennes
see, those very men of whom it was said in the
Nashville despatch to the Memphis Avalanche, of
Monday last, that they “ did not vote at the recent
election for the reason, it is understood, that they
do not acknowledge the Confederate Govern
ment.” These patriots, we cannot doubt, have,
by preconcert with their friends in Kentucky,
destroyed the bridges in order to prevent Zolli
coffer from being reinforced. We therefore think
that the movements at London, in Laurel county,
contemplate a consolidation of all our forces for a
forward movement through Knox county, by the
way of Barboursville, to the Cumberland Ford.
Gen. Nelson has doubtless prostrated the Secession
movement in Eastern Kentucky, and he can readily
hold the disaffected in check while Gen. Thomas
pushes forward, or Nelson may perhaps pass over
into Virginia along the headwaters of the Big
Sandy, and menace the southwestern part of that
State. Whatever may be resolved upon, it seems
quite clear that Zollicoffer can no longer say, as he
did in bis boasting letter of Sept. 16, to Gov. Ma
goffin, that if the Federal forces will withdraw from
their menacing position, the forces under his com
niaud shall be immediately withdrawn. He has
already been driven back, and Kentucky, appre
ciating the “ religious respect” he feels for her. has
determined that he shall be expelled entirely from
her soil.
THE WAR IN MISSOURI.
The Rear Giiard—Price’s Camp—lie is
Southward Bound—No Intention of
Giving Battle—The Devastation or the
Rebels, Etc.
[Special Despatch to the St. Louis Democrat.]
Si'KixcFiKLi), Mo., Monday, Nov. 11—A. M.—
The rear guard of the army consists of the brigade
of General Wyman and portions of the divisions of
Generals Asboth and Sigol. The latter is in com
mand, and will bring up the rear. No one antici
pates any interruption from the enemy, who at last
accounts had again pulled up stakes and were
southward bound ; besides that, they will not care
to follow too closely after Sigel- Price encamped
Friday night at Pineville, tho county-seat of Me
Donald county.
McCulloch’s force diverged from the main army
at Cassviile, and on Friday was in Carroll county,
Arkansas, also southward bound. This shows con
clusively that the rebel leaders have no idea of
giving us battle.
Price’s foraging parties arc devastating the coun
ties to tho south and west of Springfield, for the
evident purpose of impeding the progress of any
pursuing force. Several flouring mills on the Cass
viile road, below Wilson’s creek, have been burned.
The property of Union citizens receives no quarters
from these bands. The incendiary toreh is applied
to everything, sometimes to the dwelling itself.
The Union citizens of Springfield and vicinity are
leaving e/i masse in company with the army. Their
experience with tho rebel soldiery has not been
SUCII its to lead them to desire a further acquaint
ance. Those who have wagons and horses, load
them with their families and a few articles of furni
ture, but many—a great many—were long ago
robbed of everything resembling a team, and are,
accordingly, obliged to walk. Ido not think that,
in a week henee, there will be a dozen Union citi
zens left in the place, AH of tho sick and wounded
will be taken along. Adequate provision has been
made for their accommodation, not, however, with
out great trouble, transportation being so scarce.
Dr. Melcher, who has been in charge of the hospi
tal here since the battle of Wilson’s creek, has
them under his charge.
It is stated that Price intends wintering In Crop
Hollow, Washington county, Arkansas, and about
twelve miles south of the State line.
The rebels had not, probably, heard of the re
trograde movement on the part of the Federal army
much before last evening.
Gen. Wyman’s brigade is just leaving forßolla.
He will be followed by Gen. Asboib to-merrew,
and Gen. Sigel on Wednesday.
Retrograde Movement.
[Special Despatch to the Missouri Democrat.]
Camp Gkaxt, Headquarters Gen. Wyman’s Brigade,
1C miles south of Lebanon) Tuesday evening) Nov.
19,1861.
Gen. Wyman's brigade, which left Springfield
yesterday morning, has progressed this far on their
retrograde movement.
There are 340 of the sick and wounded in chargo
of this brigade, and also about 40 prisoners, in
cluding Col. Price, a noted robel scoundrel, notori
ous in this seotion.
All of the sick and wounded will be conveyed
from Rolla to St. Louis by special train. A rumor
overtook us from Springfield this morning that Lane
had had a brush with the enemy near Mt. Vernon.
It is not credited by Gen. Wyman, Lane having left
Springfield for Greenville. Nothing now from
Price's command. Country hereabouts perfectly
quiet, with no Signs of the enemy.
Three small gunboats have to-day arrived en
route for Hntteras Inlet.
There is no news about Old Point, or from the
South.
The Virginia Eastern Shore Expedition.
Salisbury, Md., Nov. 18. via Baltimore.—All
the United States troops, except the Parnell Le
gion, and the Second Delaware Regiment, left
Newtown yesterday, for Dixie. A messenger with
a flag of truce had arrived at Newtown, and com
municated to Gen. Lockwood that those in arms in
Accomac county, Va., had lain down their arms
and claimed his protection.
Captain Richard's cavalry, with Captain Merrill
as guide, had advanced as far as Drummondtown,
and left there on Sunday morniDg for Northampton
county, to learn the determination of its citizens.
A messenger just from Newtown arrived as the
boat was leaving Salisbury, and informed your cor
respondent that Gaptain Merrill had returned, and
the cavalry did not go below Drummondtown, but
that the stars and stripes are waving over the
place.
From New Mexico
Kansas City. Nov. 18.— The Santa Fe and Car
son City mail arrived yesterday, two days ahead of

The through messenger from Santa Fe reports all
quiet along the road. The roads were in good con
dition.
The Navajoe Indians have been committing se
rious depredations in different parts of the Territory
within the past few days.
Captain Hatch has been appointed brigadier
general in the volunteer service, and will bo or
dered to tbe States to take a command in General
McClellan’s army.
At twelve o’clock on the Ist instant, the flags
were hung at half-mast in Santa Fe, and a salute
fired, to the memory of General Gibaen, who for
forty years previous to his death had been com
missary general of the United States army.
Colonel Canby, having made a requisition upon
the Governor of New Mexico for twelve thousand
militia for the United States army, the latter has
issued an order to the Major Generals of divisions,
in which he designates the proportion of men each
is to provide. The forces thus raised will bo sta
tioned at tbe different posts in the Territory, to
garrison them whilst the regulars and volunteers
are in service in the field. Four hundred will be
stationed at Fort Union, four hundred at Albu
querque, four hundred at Santa Fc, and two hun
dred at Fort Craig.
Twenty-two Wagons anil two Hundred
Oxen Recaptured from the Rebels.
Kansas City. Novembor 18.—Captain 8011, of
Colonel Jennison’s force, who left here on Satur
day, for Pleasant Hill, succeeded in capturing
twenty-two wagons and two hundred oxen, belong

rebels of that place.
A rebel force of twelve hundred men, encamped
three miles from Pleasant Hill, will be attacked to
night.
Government Stores Captured by the
Rebels at Wavcrley.
Leatestvouth City, Jfov. 18. —The steamer

From Washington.
Washington, Nov. 19.—Tenders of troops con
tinue to be made to the War Department, and it is
probable that before the meeting of Congress, the
hs)f wmstm authorized to be accepted will do sup
plied.
Offers of additional regiments of cavalry are de
clined, owing to a sufficiency of that branch of the
army.
Intelligence has just been received of the confis
cation of a considerable amount of property in South
Carolina, belonging to Northern citizens, among
whom is included Hiram Walbridge, of New York.
The guards have been withdrawn from the resi
dence of Judge Merrick, who has resumed his scat
on the Circuit Court bench.
Launch of the IT. S. Gunboat Penobscot.
Belfast, Me., Nov* 19-—The United gtftteg
gunboat Fenobscot was launched to-day at high
water.
New Plan of Campaign
Since the success at Port lioyal an impression be
gins to prevail that the Government intend to here
after conduct tho campaign mainly along the sea*
board with a view to obtain possession of all the
porta. This done, the rebellion will be fairly
choked to death for want of air. With Galveston,
New Orleans, Mobile, Pensacola, Fernandina, Sa
vannah, Charleston, Wilmington, and Norfolk in
our possession, wc can then afford to wait until tho
interior rebel territory comes to its senses. Such
is the last theory of the outside speculators. It is
very certain that the navy Is to be very actively
employed for the rest of this winter.
The Movements of Our Armies.
The indications of comprehensive ideas concern*
ing military affairs are seen in the grand combined
movements of columns in every direction. Setting
asido what Generals Butler and Burnside are to do,
(which is a matter of speculation,) six columns are
now menacing the Confederate States. First, that
moving upon that part of Virginia east of the
Chesapeake.' second, General McClellan’s, here ;
third. General Rosecrans’ ; fourth, Gen. Buell’s ;
fifth, General Hallcck’s ; sixth, General Hunter's.
Slidell and Mason’s Documents.
It is stated, upen authority, that ‘ ‘ all the papers
and documents” belonging to Messrs. Slidell and
Mason, as envoys from tho Confederate States to
foreign Powers, were taken by Captain Wilkes,
and forwarded to the State Department. The
documents, Ac., are said to be voluminous, and will
be'very interesting. Though they may not be
fublishcd now, they maybe laid before Congress.
fc is stated, however, that tho members of tho
family of the ministers proceeded on their voyage
in tho British packet, and it is surmised that any
Confederate instructions to the ministers may have
been committed to them, and have thus escaped
publicity.
Gen. Beauregard at Centreville.
General Beauregard is now at Centreville, near
which place a large body of Confederate troops is
posted. There is no appearance of a withdrawal of
any Confederate forces from this line to tho South.
Seizure ol an Important Mail intended
for Slidell and Mason.
The Government bos secured a large mail in
tended for the rebel commissioners, Masoft and
Slidell. Information was given to the Post Office
Department that letters and despatches for these
commissioners would probably be forwarded, by
way of Havana, to go out by the mail steamer for
England from New York. Detectives were set at
work, and the mail intercepted* It contaius files
of Southern papers, letters, despatches, drafts, bills
of exchange, Ac.
THE FUSE COVEIS
are made of angular slips of ordinary drawing paper,
which arc stretched upon a table* and covered with »
light wash of glue. Thej' arc next wound upon a per
fectly ruuml roil of brass, at the same time being well com
pressed by hand. As the glue hardens they become as
rigid as bits nf board, and being placed upon a rapidly
revolving spindle, a fine file is pressed against them. By
this operation (in wliich the paper flies off in fleecy
shreds, like flecks of snow) the inwiuaHtiosof their sur»
face are not only removed, but they are so bevelled as tofit
precisely the bore of the fuse-plug. After they have been
filled, as above described, their ends are cut off squarely,
exposing the composition within them, bv means of an

TIMING THE t'L'dES.
What is meant by timing a fuse, is ho regulating its
chemical composition that it shall bum for a specified
time before exploding the shell. As may be supposed, it
is mi operation of considerable nicety. The fuses now
being made at the arsenal (which are intended for the
Ptift'iiisYillc rifU'drciHinon projectiles) will bum precisely
eleven seconds. One of them was yesterday tested, for
the first time, in onr presence.
Being screwed firmly in the jaws of a vice, a bar of
iron, hated to a cherry red, was applied to it. Instantly
ft lanceolate-shaped flame (if we may so speak.) shot up
to a height ef three inches, assuming ‘a wb'tish-ye-Uow
hue, except around its base nud lower edges, where Hie
color alternated from blue to violet. It burned with alt
the violence of a flame produced by an oxyhydrngen
blowpipe, and wa* accompanied by u very perceptible
hissing sound. As Hk* combustion progressed, tins sound
became more and- more audible, ftud its termination was
marked by a sort of sibillaut puff, and the ascension of
an unpleasantly odoroiw column of smoke. The cover of
the fuse, strange to say, was not destroyed.
These fuses are composed simply of meal-powder and
sulphur. The former ingredient will bum precisely two
.seconds to the- inch, while-a composition of one part of
sulphur and two ef meid- powder bums just five seconds
to the inch. To increase the time of combustion, as
when long ranges are desired, a greater proportion* of
Huiphur mußt be added. We learn that 60,000 fuses are
to be made at the arsenal.
THE SHELLS.
It hag been shrewdly surmised that the delay of our
army to make a- forward movement in Virginia has
rather been occasioned by the lack of artillery Ilian-by
any indisposition to incur tho attendant risk or any such
movement. As is well known, the Plimnis Iron Com*
p&ny is now engaged in filling a contract with the Go
vernment for 300 throe-iuch guns. Immediately upon
their completion, our army will be in a condition to make
an aggressive move with- every prospect of success.
The projectiles to bo used with these guns are oblong
shells, the casting of which iu sufficient quantities will,
perhapii, requite mottths. The Hr.fct instalment will U
received at tlie arsenal in the early part uf next week,
from Messrs. Sellers & Co., of this city.
Contrary to the generally received opiniou, the fuse of
a shell is never placed toward the vent-hole of the gun,
but directed to the muzzle. How it becomes ignited in
the charge is altogether a mystery—tlie more inexplica
ble in the citpe of the projectile just referred t»i inasmuch
as its base is surrounded with an expansive rim ol lend
to fit the bore most accurately: so that it would seem
almost impossible for even the gases generated iu tine
chamber to come in contact with the fuse. Mr. Perkins
informs us that some years ago lie experimented with,
shell at West Point. He found that when placed in tho
gun, fuses foremost*they invariably failed to explode}
and nil ollfltig projectile lielng hi fide, with fuse? upon
either stefc, the fuse-plugs were blown away in the dis
charge, and the shell, as before, remained unexploded.
The subject, to say the least, is a curious one.
THE FUS-E PLUGS.
The work of casting plugs for the shells has been couv
menced at the arsenal within the past two days, it is
entrusted to cuFcfni and intelligent lads, varying in age
from twelve to fifteen years* They are furnished with,
moulds which are filled with a molten composition of tin*
lead, copper, and antimony.
The plugs are about 2# inches in length, and on tlucii*
exterior they are providwl with a thread, which screws
into the vertex ef the shell. A circular opening, about
half an inch iu diameter* passes lengthwise through their
centres, and allows of the insertion of tho fuse. Titov
are now being cast at the rale of 250 per day.
TUB FRICTION PRIMEI!
This justly celebrated munition is being manufacfcwed
at tho Bridesburg Arsenal in enormous quantities, a spe
cial building being devoted to-it. It consists of ft small
brass tube, about au inch and a half iu length, filled
with detonating powder, which L> discharged by the fric
tion of a small wire, the wire being pulled by the gunner.
Tho powder is inserted into- the- tube in the form of paste,
to preclude all danger of explosion, and allowed to dry by
evaporation. The lube is finally coated with varnish,
which renders it waterproof. About 8, OOOfiiction primers
arc now being turned out per day.
Crtiilkk UU!U*l6&te.
One hundred and eighty tliousand percussion caps are
hero irmmifuctiired, on an average, in each twentj’-fbur
hours. Sixty sheets of copper are thus consumed, each
weighing three pounds. It is estimated that a slieet,
which costs one dollar, will yield 2,240 caps. Fourteen
thousand cap* may be filled Frobi A poUhd of fttlmlootmg
powder.
Since the outbreak of the war, 100,000 German arms
have been sent hence to Washington and other points.
Recently, between five and six thousand of them have
been inspected here and sent forward, axil about eight
thousand more are daily expected to arrive.
Over 1 00, 000 set»of euyaLry accoutrements have been
sent to the arsenal within tbe last Bix months, and after
undergoing inspection, have been forwarded to such
points as the department has directed—principally, how
ever, to Washington. They have been furnislied by
Messrs. Moyer, Phillips, and other well-known parties in
this city and New Ttnfe Sinee the 12th of August last,
one firm alone has nmde up 40,000 sets.
The accoutrements are placed In packing-boxes—five
sets being placed in each. No less than 4,308 of them
will be Despatched to the seat of war to-day, iu pursu
ance of a reijmsition to that effect. For many mouths
past they have been received at the arsenal, at the rate
of from twenty to sixty wagon-toads per day.
About two hundred persons are now employed in the
establishment. Ono hundred of them are engaged in tho
making of percussion caps, friction primers, etc., under
the constant personal supervision of Mr. Perkins.
Arrival or the New York 09™ Kegi

hour yesterday morning, and were properly carod for, as
usual, at the Volunteer Refreshment Saloons. Among
the list was the New York Sixty-ninth, which reached
the city about daylight. They were treated to a good
breakfast at the Refreshment Saloons, aud after a stay of
About three hours in town, again left the city. A large
number of the men in the ranks were participants in tho
fight nuur Mantissa** and they go to the seat of war full
of a determinatum to wipe out tlio diggrace inflicted on
the arms of the country at that time, and to put the rebels
out of conceit with the idea of hanging Colonel Cercorau.

New Depot of the Philadelphia and
Reading Railroad Company.
The fnct of the old depot of the Philadelphia and
Heading Railroad Company having been recently
leaped by the Government, to be used ns a hospital
for the Pennsylvania State Reserves, reminds us that
the new depot of this company, now in course of
completion at Itrond and Callowhill streets, is des
tined to be one of ihe largest and moat convenient
edifices of its class in this country. When finished
the building will occupy the entire square, extend
ing from Broad to Thirteenth, and from Callowhill
to Willow streets, covering an area of 600 feet, by
-tOO foot, ori24,(lOUsquaro yards. On the Thlttetnth
street front, it is the design of the company to de
' voto II depth of seventy-five feet from street to
•street, to office purposes, tlioso on the first floor to
be employed for the trAnauctiim of businew by the
various clerics, whilst the Sfcec.nJ story will be ap
propriated for the use of the president, treasurer,
and other officials. This front will he massive and
handsome, and will contain an immense door-way
in the centre, sixty feet high, by thirty feet span.
Tho Broad-street front will be divided intu throe
spaces; the southern to he devoted to passenger
purposes exclusively; the central one to the storage
and handling of goods intended for shipment from
Philadelphia, and the northern for goods shipped
: in Philadelphia from tho various paints along the
line. The most complete facilities for transporta
i tion between here and the river front are secured
| to this company by their use and ownership of the
M'illow-strcet Railroad, which, with the fact of
' of their having a superior position on the Delaware,
and ample room, afl'ords them accommodations for
{ transacting an almost unlimited business.
The interior view of this immense structure,
from an elevated stand-point, ia very striking, and
suggests the vast amount of labor performed daily
| through the agenoy of this rood. One immense
platform, 450 feet by 30 feet, is, during the busy
months, filled to .a' considerable depth with mer
chandise, anil emptied ones every day. This is the
platform devoted to down freight; tho one used
for freight shipped from, this point being the same
f size, although the latter will soon, from necessity,
be consMeMily enlarged.
In the Broad-street fWofrwill fee placed a large
illuminated clock, with thq dials so arranged av to
, make the hands visible from tho street, and all tho
‘ Ulterior points of the depot, The roof is sustained
; by one hundred and four hiiiisitfl iron oplumojv and
an iron tressel work, entirely unique, light in ap-'
1 pearance, but of great strength. The building ia
! lighted by means of two hundred and fifty gas
. burners, equally distributed. The track inside the
building for the neeetamedatiea of freight and pas
senger purposes exceeds a mile and a half in length.
The coal business of this road we need scarcely
say is very great, the average rate of shipment being,
• for city use alone, 300 car loads, of five tons each,
I per day. in winter, and about two-thirds that
! amount during the reft of the year, This coal is
| daily, as it arrives, distributed to the various coal
1 yards and railroad depots throughout the city, for
; which the central location of this depot is admirably
! adapted.
I A short distance from the depot, on Pennsylvania
; avenue, west of Fifteenth street, are the stables,
which, to persons interested in the preservation of
i horse-flesh in a good condition for constant U3e, arty
well worth a visit of inspection. Out of over sixty
horses employed, wc found but three on thesick
, list, which, considering the severity of their labor,
, is extraordinary. At. Seventeenth street, the com*
, pony has in use a crane of ten tons power, and at
; Willow-street wharf one of thirty tons power. The
■ full force of hands employed ou the road is about
i three thousand, all of whom, by an arrangement
voluntarily entered into some months ago, are now
1 investing a portion of their monthly earnings in the
7.30 per-cent. Govornmentloun, the average amount
, being from one to two days’ wages per month. Wo
have already commended this example, as worthy
the emulation of employees of other roads.
The rolling stock of this road consists of 7,000
eoal ears; 1.500 cars for carrying merchandise ;
250 oars employed for transportation, exclusively
in the use of the Railroad company ; 150 locomo
; tives, and 00 passenger and baggage cars; making
; the enormous aggregate of nearly 9,000 cars ThS
is the largest rolling stock of any railroad in tho
, world, and one which, if kept in constant use, is ea
i pablo of carrying 5,000,000 (five million) tons per an
j num; the space devoted being equivalent to 7,500,-
: 000 (seven million five hundred thousand) cubic
I yards. The amount of merchandise sufficient to fill
I this space is almost inconceivable. It would nearly
fill one of our widest streets, from pavement to
! house-top, from tho Dolatvaro to the Sohuylkill!
| The agricultural, mountain, and river scenery
along the course of the Reading and Philadelphia
Railroad, we need not say to those who have tra
Telled over it, is, taken as a whole, unrivalled for
i its beauty- It is as grand and picturesque in win
. ter as it is charming and sublime in summer.
For many of the above facts, and the polite man
; nerin which they were communicated, wo acknow
-1 ledge onr indebtedness to John S. Hilles, Esq., who
has the entire superintendency of everything con
■ neeted with this station. Mr. Hilles is a thorough
: railroad man. and Pikes a special pleasure in afford
: ing nit the information at his command to persons
: interested in the great improvement wc have here*
described
PENNSYLVANIA ITEMS.
The Destination.— Tho destination of Colonel
McCarter's regiment of Zouaves, we learn, is to be
Fort Delaware, and we are informed that it will
pass through this city on to-morrow or Wednesday.
This looks as though the defences of the Delaware
were to be attended to. and not through any fear
of the Secessionists. —Eemfing Times.
Two flags were presented to Colonels White's
and Power’s reginirnts at Harrisburg on Monday,
on the eve of their departure for Annapolis. Gov.
Curtin made the presentation speech, and, iu the
course of bis remarks, said; “Tour destination is
South Carolina, where this rebellion first began,
and I hope you will be present when Charleston is
laid in ashes ! ”
Col. BciiLATPKCKr.it has now some six hundred
men in camp. In the course of two or three weeks
his regiment will be rti route for Dixie.— Erie
Smri'iKG Oil bv Canal.—On Monday, of this
week, says the West Greenville Anjn three boat
loads of oil passed up the canal through this place,
amounting, in the aggregate, to 1.000 barrels. It
was, shipped from Oil creek upon flathoats to Pitts
burg, and nt that point put upon canal boats, by
which it was taken to Erie, and shipped to Eastern
markets probably by water. We learn that a large
quantity will yet be shipped by this route this sea
son, if navigation does not close tee soon.
Large Shipment or Shells. —Two hundred
thousand pounds of shells were shipped to Cairo on
Saturday, on the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne, and Chi
cago Railroad. They were consigned to Commo
dore Foot, Western naval fleet.
Shocking Suicide.— The wife of Thomas Liddell,
of Clearfield, committed suicide, a few days since,
by cutting her throat with a razor. She was
visiting her father in Jordan township, and iu the
absence of other members of the family, laid her
child in the cradle, and taking her father's razor,
gave herself two fatal cuts across the throat. Ne
cause is assigned, other than that of temporary
aberration of mind. Site leaves but one child.
Lieut. E. J. Keenan, of Greensburg, brother of
T. J. Keenan, prothonotary of tlhe Supreme Court
for the Western District of this State, was a signal
officer in the fleet to Port Royal. Mr. IC. was edi
tor of the Greenburg Democrat.
Suicide.— On Wednesday last, the 13th in3t.,
the body of an unknown man was found suspended
to the limb of a tree, by a rope, near the Falls of
French Creek, Warwick township, Chester county.
He was apparently 25 to 30 years of age, thinly
dressed, and had with him a small bundle of cloth
ing. He had evidently committed suicide, but
who he was, or what esusod him to take leave of
life in this summary manner, remains a mystery.
Another Report from Orrsvilll. —ln the
small village of Orrsville, Armstrong county, Pa.,
consisting of about twelve dwelling houses, on the
first of April last, or shortly after the President
made bis first requisition for monty-fire thousand
men, on inspection there were found hut thirteen
men in the town able to go to war, yet since that
time there have gone of these, and ethers who have
since moved in, no less than twenty persons, into
the service of the United States army. Persons
doubting the statement can have the names and the
regiments into which they have gone.
GENERAL NEWS.
The Manufacture of Salt.—The salt
works at Saginaw, Mich., are manufacturing salt
at the rate of 3CO barrels per week, from sixty
kettles, and they will soon be enlarged. Tho salt
is produced at a cost of about sixty cents per bar
rel, and sells for about $1.30. The enterprise is
yet in its incipiency.
Gen. Sumner’s (laughters are married to
Virginians. One, Eugene E. McLean, is now an
invalid in Richmond. He was a quartermaster in
