A Coop SELEcwoN.-It is known to our readers that the legislature appropriat- ed one hundred thousand dollars for the purpose of arming the State. It was d fortunate selection which the legislature made of commissioners. Captains Danley and Churchill have both had considerable experience in the use of arms. having serv- ed together in Mexico, and it was but proper reward for past services to accord to them the honor ofputting the State in condition to defend her rights, if need be, by the arbitrament of War. We suppose they will leave in few days to purchase arms and munitions for the defense of the State

Gsr We announce this week Messrs. Pope and Danley for seats in the State convention. These gentlemen are we'll qualified for the positions in which their friends desire to place them.

FmE.-On Sunday morning just before daylight, the tin-shop of Mr. John Brisbin, on Markham street, caught on fire and was entirely consumed His loss was about S3,0OO. No insurance. After the fire Mir. B's safe was found open, Itis thought that the house was entered by burglars and the lock of the safe blown off; and it is further supposed that, to hide their crime, the burglars fired the house, or that the fire was accidently communicated by the pow der with which the safe lock Was blown off Fortunately, Mr. Brsbn had removed all of his money from the safe the night before the fire. But for this his money as well as his shop, tools and stock would have been lost. We regret Mr. BriSbin's loss, for he IS one of our best citizens, and we hope that, ere long he may regain aIl
 One word to our citizens on going to fires, Instead of running immediately to the fire, they would make themselves far more seviceable if they would first go to the different engine houses, and assist the tremen in bringing their engines to the place where they are needed. The engines were kept back several minutes from this last fire, for the want oi sufficient force to get them there in time.-G GazeR.
