Through the neving of Floyd, and the recent requisi( us of Government, the arsenal has been early stripped of muskets, pistolB and atuion. but of other munitions there is et an ample store. A large number of tamls are engaged in the preparation of unmunilion ; six thousand ball cartridges ire maoe daily ; most of these aio inended for the Mime rifle, but large ntiiu>ers of the old fashioned round ball carridges are also manufactured.
