The battery of field-pieces, taken from the arsenal at Fayetteville, arrived here on Sunday under charge of Lieut. Rose, who leaves with them to-day for Raleigh. We understand that the United States officers lately in command at Fayetteville, as well as the artillerymen under them, agree in the opinion that this is one of the best, if not the best, battery in the country. The guns and all the equipment are in perfect order. We did not learn the purpose for which they were transported to Raleigh, but we suppose they will be used at the camp of instruction established there.
