Chakgld Quarters Aoaik. We see that
the National Volunteers, the " hay loft organi
zation," have again changed quarters, ana are
now safely ensconsed in a room over the Jack
son Hall restaurant. The secession organ in
this city, the Slates and Union, the reporter of
which has freo Ingress and egress not being
compelled to secure the services of a " host
ler "says they had a very "spirited" meet
ing on Thursday night, " nnd a largo number
of persons wero proposed for membership,
consisting of those persons desirous of evincing
their sympathy with the South at this juncture
of affairs." We'll have to get our "hostler"
friend on their trade again, it seems.
Mad Doo Killed. A mad dog was killed
in tho vincinity ot St. Matthew's church, on
Thursday afternoon, after being chased a long
distance by a large crowd of persons. It is
feared that other dogs may have been bitten
by him.
Honorably Acquitted. John Green, who
was nrrested a few weeks since, charged with
stealing several negroes from a lady residing
in Maryland, appeared before Justice Donn for
a hearing on Thursday afternoon, and was
uuuuruuiy ucu,uiueu.
More Treason-. Arms for the South Con
necticut Manufacturers Aiding the Enemy. It
Is reported that immenso activity prevails at the
private manufactories of arms in Hartford nnd
other portions ol Connecticut, and that orders
from the South are constantly received and
filled. At n single factory in Hartford, one
hundred nnd Gfty men arc working night and
day, making patent rifles for the rebels of the
Confederate States. Great numbers of the
ordinary sty lo of Sharpo's rifles are also manu
facturing in the same city. It is further re
ported that tho orders from tho military authori
ties of the seceded States are of the heaviest
kind. It is no unusual circumstance to receive
orders for work to the amount of ono hundred
thousand dollars a day. These contracts, wo
are iulormed, aro exclusively Southern, aud we
learn, moreover, that they are invariably ac
cepted, and are now filling as rapidly us possi
ble. It thus appears that the Confederate
States, who are m rebellion against the Gov
ernment, still find aid mid comfort Irom the
North.- New York Post.
