ARsxNAL.-We learn from the Fayette-
ville IN. Co., Observer, that the construction
of new arsenal. in that town, has been ac-
lively commenced, and that a large number
of workmen have been engaged, who are ex-
pected TO complete the work in about four
years. The side chosen is Haymount, at the
top of Hay street, about a mile from the town
house and three miles from the bridge.
1t will consist Of about twenty-five buildings
of all sizes, disposed upon the sides Of a
square FIVE hundred feet in extent, and con.
nected by brick wall; the great house of
deposit for the stores, occupying the centre
of the square. The disbursement in the pro-
gross Of the works will be from IS 900 to 1907
600 dollars per annum until finished. 1t is
to be not only an arsenal, or place for the
deposit Of warlike implements and munitions,
but also the great place Of construction for
the South, and therefore Of much greater
magnitude than any arsenal IN the country.
Ixponrarroxs OF WHEAr.-By a statement
in another part Of our paper, it will be seen
that the quantity Of foreign Wheat imported
into Baltimore since last harvest, including
$4,000 bushels received coastwise, is upwards
of Sc 900 bushels. This would suffice for
the manufacture Of about $4,000 barrels Of
flour. But Notwithstanding the supplies thus
derived, the city inspections for the quarter
ending on the 3Ist December, shows falling
off Of 1850 barrels. Hence may be some
idea, though very imperfect one, Of the
extent Of the failure oflast years wheat crop,
in those sections Of the country, whose -four
is forwarded to this market. The real def
cit is no doubt much greater than would be
indicated by these data, as the failure has in
duced system Of economy, and substitution
in the ordinary use Of wheat, where it is
grown, that has greatly lesseued the consump-
ton Of the article in the interior, during the
present year.-Balt. Pat. 81
