More Munitions of War for the South
   The Bristol News says quite a stir was created at the Depot of the East Tennessee & Virginia Railroad in that place on the 27th. ult., by the arrival of several car loads of warlike instruments, in transit for Montgomery Ala, consisting of two immense Columbiads, weighing near 16,000 lbs each, with their carriages and a quantity of shot and shell. These monster guns were cast at the Tredegar Works of Joseph R. Anderson, in Richmond, from whence several trains loaded with munitions of war have recently been dispatched to the South.
