The milling of tumblers and sears, which
has been entirely suspended since the fire,
will be resumed this week. Polishing,
which occupied ninety frames for day work
in the shop which was burned, is now car

eight frames and work going on constantly
night and day, SO that this department
does not run very much behind hand. As
sembling was recommended last week, and
the old order of things would be renewed
if the other shops could run their fullest.
But at the water shops Mill River is SO low
that some of the machinery is run only
part of the time by day as well as by night,
and large numbers of workmen are con-
sequently without work, though the loss is
distributed as equally as possible.
Under these circum stances the accumu-
latiOn of guns at the arsenal is necessarily
slow, but it has reached two hundred and
eighty-five thousand. A new order for
bids any person entering the arsenal or
going to the tower without pass, and a
gate, which is kept locked, prevents en-
trance up the stairs. Thirty of the Gals
sons made at Wasons and two thousand
sets OF infantry accOutrements, with two
hundred and twenty-five of cavalry made
by W. FL. Wilkinsons, were recently for
warded to the Washington arsenal. Pay
day at the arsenal is still delayed Ac-
COrding to recent precedent, the PAYMENT
for May should have been made on the
Goth of last month, and the time for June
draws nigh, but no money for either has
been received from Washington. The
payroll for the former month amounts to
$179, 354, and the number of men to whom
it is due is two thousand nine hundred and
fifty-five. Nearly half Of these have al
ready obtained their money from the
different banks in the city at one per cent.
discount.

Mobile,

The Philadelphia Inquirer thus points
out some Of the mysteries of the opera
lions near Mobile:
There are some very curious circum-
stances connected with the rebel accounts
OF the surrender. Anderson is reported
to have communicated with Admiral Far
ragut by flag of truce, and with the con-
sent of Gen. Page, who commanded at
Fort Morgan. Now why did the latter al
low his subordinate to visit the Federal
fleet? Did Anderson bamboozie his SUI
periOr officer as to the true object of this
communication? But the most curious
part of the affair is the statement that
Gen. Page himself visited Fort Gaines on
the 9TH, at night
When there he learned that Anderson
was on board of the Admirals ship, ar
ranging the terms of capitulatiOn. In
stead of remaining and taking command
OF the fort, SO that Anderson's ''treachely"
might be circumvented, the gallant Page
did not stay and prevent the surrender,
but he went back again to Fort Morgan,
leaving orders that Anderson should be
arrested upon his return. The garrison
must nave nad good reasons for nOn-cOm-
pliance, for Anderson was not arrested,
and the next morning the stars and stripes
were flying over one of our repossessed"
forts There is much here which is con-
cealed, and which will doubtless explain
the whole mystery hereafter
Whilst waiting for the details, we can
congratulate ourselves that upon rebel in
formation, everything looked hopeful for
US at Mobile on the Sth. Admiral Farra-
gut had added to his iron-clads the crack
vessel Of the rebels, the ram Tennessee.
HO has captured the Selma, cotton-clad,
caused the Gaines TO be beached, and sent
the Morgan, crippled, up to Mobile. He
has also captured one fort and caused the
demolition of another, and cut OFT the most
powerful of all, Fort Wright, from hopes
of being reinforced. This is very good
work for five days operations. y.

The Springfield ArnOry.
REPAIR OF TIE BURNED sIIOP-wORK DE-
LAYRD BY Low WATER.

The Springfield Republican has the fol-
lowing account of affairs at the United
States Armory in that city:
The walls of the shop destroyed by fire
at the armory, month ago, were found
to be in such good condition that it was
not considered necessary to tear them
down and build anew, except in a few
places where they were cracked. New
floors and new roofs have accordingly been
built, and the shop would now have been
about completed but for the delay in OBJ
tanning slate for the roofs. Only the front
side of the roof of the old shop is yet COW
cred. Several improvements will be made
upon the shop as it was before the fire.
There will be no attic over the polishing
room, the possibility of another fire orig.
mating in the way the one of the Cd uif
did being thus prevented; and the con-
tingency of fires will also be provided for
by placing large reservoir of water over
the machine room adjoining. The rooms
in:the lower story will be one foot higher
than formerly, and the case-hardening and
,tempering room will be provided with d
vsntilator to relieve ito fits saperabundant'
heat. Work has been going on in this
