Quakers Arming.
Since the requisition of Gov. Kirkwood for Barclay Coppic, the peace principles of our Springdale Quakers have almost forsaken them. We learn that they have received boxes of Sharpe's rifles, and that they have revolvers in the hands of all the young men of the place. We learn that they have taken a brick store formerly occupied by Thomas Winn, and converted it into a fort, making holes in the upper part to shoot through. They say that Coppic shall not be taken.
