Original caption: When the celebrated Fort Fisher (which was situated at the mouth of Cape Fear River and was the cover to the vast amount of blockade running into Wilmington) was captured by General Terry and Admiral Porter, among many other evidences of the friendship of England for the Rebels, there was found one of the noted Armstrong guns, made only for the English Government, and bearing the imprint of the "broad arrow," or Government brand of England. This is a view of the Armstrong gun furnished by the English haters of the United States to our enemies to help destroy us. But "John Bull" was not a "bigger man than old Grant," and the "Government at Washington still lives."
