THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND OR FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND GOOD ARMY GUNS IN THE SOUTH NOT THOUGHT OF. To the Editors of the Exauuriwmfv r - Our people over-estimate the value of the arms manufactured expressly for war, and they do not appreciate the value of the immense number of rifles in their posession. Now, if every man in the South and especially those whose highest duty it is at this time to look after the means of defence which are in the South, would consider the facts which I will now detail, and act upon the suggestions given, we will soon be the best armed people in the world. The Southern people are proverbial for the passion which they have always had for hunting-riiles and prize-guns. There are but few of these (runs which are not over the length of the Minnie rifle (39 inch es.) Their barrels have metal enough to bear bor ing out for large balls ; there are smiths enough in every county in the South to bore and rifle them out in ten days, so as to carry an approved, uniform and required Harper's Ferry ball. In the size of the bore and that shape of the ball is the great virtue of the Minnie rifle. This im provement, ordered at once by the authority of the Confederate States, 'and a single bullet-mould sent to the clerk of the Circuit Court of each county as a pattern, and every rifle cut down to thirty-nine inches, would at once arm the whole county. If our State Convention would make the move, the whole South would adopt it Improved rifles would at once be in the hands of those accustomed to their use. To satisfy any person who is at all skeptical on this point, let him measure off four hundred yards from a barn-door, load his small-bored rifle with a double charge of powder and a round ball, and, after trying three fires, then let him try three fires with the Minnie ball. He will And that the three first balls will not reach the door, and that the three last are killing shots. I have tried this with a rifle, shooting a ball the size of a buckshot, and therefore know what I say to be true. The masses will not examine and pry into the philoso phical principles which demand that this change should be made at once. There are a few scientific reasons which will convince all thinking men of its propriety, viz : the hollowed ball receives the full volume and force of the powder, none of it escap ing by the side, as in the case of the round ball. Its expansive' power causes more resistance to the powder, thereby enabling the gun to burn more powder, and give more force to the ball. The coni cal shape of the ball causes less atmospheric resist ance, and the excavation of the ball causes a rush and concussion of air that absolutely tend to sustain tLe ball in its flight. The masses will not experiment The guns, which will take off a squirrel's head at eighty yards, altered as I propose, will kill a man from six to eight hundred yards. You had as well say that a rifle carrying an ounce ball will shoot as far as a cannon as to say a small bored rifle will shoot as far as a large one. Our people are willing to obey their rulers, (and with one accord they would heed Jeff. Davis.) If the order was given requiring a change of all our rifles, it would be obeyed instantly. Our people would then test their guns from a spirit of awakened curiosity, and every Southern man, being thus convinced of the fact that he had as good a shooting gun as the world afforded, would be ready not only to obey orders, but he would rush to the field already armed. Conscious power would infuse new ador into our entire population, and we would hear no more of the only fear that is expressed in the South, and that is, that we may not have arms enough. AYe have the men who can whip the world upon our own soil, and this move would give us the arms. We would at once be a nation of soldiers. I believe that I under-estimate the number of rifles in the South. Our merchants have never ceased treating them as an article of merchandise. Men own rifles who scarcely own anything else. I know one such man who owns five. I know the fact, that there are about a thousand rifles in this county, and it is one of the smallest counties in the State. I know the fact, (little as the North thinks of the mechanical skill of the South.) that we have in the county of Smyth one hundred men who can make this proposed alteration of rifles ; and, up on short notice, I can bring together Smyth county men who can change, at Marion, three hundred rifles a day. We have every facility here for a Gov ernment Armory, either upon a large scale or a small one; and, if the suggestions given are heeded, work should be commenced at once. SMYTH. From the Hillsborough Recorder False and malicious reports have been circulated extensively that myself and all my boys are Abo litionists, or Black Republicans, which is a positive lie. I have always been decidedly opposed to abo litionism and always expect to be ; and I challenge the man to say that I ever expressed any such sen timents. I have been 6trong for the Union, and have said that the South was too hasty in her action of secession. I believed that the best plan was for the South to hold a convention of all the Southern States, and consulted what their best interest re quired; that we should have set forth our claims, and said to the North this is what we claim, and it you will comply with this all will be right; but if not, we will leave you. These are and have been my sentiments all the time ; and if they would agree to these, then, I said, the South can all go to gether. I thought it best for the Union to be pre served. I though that it was best to let Lincoln take his seat, and see what he would do. I have said that there were other Presidents, I had no doubt, that had entertained abolition principles as well as Lincoln, and that it would be time enough to oppose him when he did wrong. I have no use for abolitionists and never had, nor ever expect to have as long as my head is hot As for negroes be in" set free amongst us, I have been and shall al ways be opposed to, unless they could be sent to a country to themselves. That is all the abolitionism that belongs to me, and I can produce any amount of authority that may be required of the truth of the above statement, though I think this will satisfy my friends,' as they have known mo a long time, menu, jr LEMUEL "WILKINSON. 2F" The Raleigh Standard and Milton Chronicle are requested to publish the above. Warrek Codnty Levy. At an adjourned meet ing of the Magistrates of Warren County, held on Saturday last it was determ-ned to levy sixty per cent on the present amount of taxation, which sum is to be appropriated to the support of the families of the volunteers who have left their homes to serve in the wars of their country. This assessment, it is supposed, will raise between thirteen and fourteen thousand dollars.' The meeting also determined unanimously, to increase the assessment if necessary. This is the way to do the business. Let our volun teers feel assured that their wives and children will be cared for, and their hearts will be cheered, and their arms nerved with ten fold vigor.
