Prompt R,spoass-When the news reached
this city that Harpers Ferry had been taken
by abolition emissaries, the Governor at once
gave orders to Captain Dimmock to have pre-
pared two thousand ball cartridges, aud i'm the
course of that night the order was filled
Notwithstanding the fact that there were then
but very few cartridges in the Armory. and
most OF the men knew nothing about making
tutHu. AS tile news SpTedQ through the COuu-
try, demands were made upon the Governor
for arms and ammunition, and he in turn gave
orders on Captain Dimmock, so that by the
time all demands Were supplied, Captain D.
had issued 5u,0no ball cartridges, 5000 stand oi
arms, several field pieces, and a large number
of round and grape shot, thus fitting the SOL
diers of the State for active service in a very
short time. When the fact is considered tha,
there is no arsenal here-that the commander
of the Arrnory had to rely upon green hands
whatever neadqA had T.,
superintend in person the filling of nearly all
his orders, we think ii will be admitted that
he performed wonders, and is justly entitled

over The roll, we find that nearly every men,
