It affords us much pleasure to state, that the large workshop belonging to the Armory, at this place, which was partly destroyed by fire on the 8th May, has been so far repaired as to put into operation some of the useful machinery which it contains. This has been in use for a week past, and the work is progressing so fast, that in a few days all the workmen will resume their tasks. The building alluded to, is one hundred and fifty feet long and fifty wide. This result shows a most laudable zeal and activity.--Ib.
