LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. Tue Unite STATES ARSENAL AT Wasuinc- tox—Contemplated Improvements.—The Present | condition of the Arsenal is rather unfavorable,on account of several inconveniences which renders the prosecution of the work in several branches in many respects difficult. The grounds of the Arse proper comprise a space of about twenty-- ght acres, of which some eight or haps ae are tit for buildi: urposes, alt! fully orcu- at present, there being no additional room Bic the purpose, except in front, which would be too narrow, being so near the river bank. The War Department has in contemplation the con- struction of stone wharves to supply the place of the old ones, they being of wood, and liable to burn. The cost of a new wharf, such as. they pro- pose to construct the coming summer, }s estima- Yed at from $4,000 to $5,000. On the east front of the grounds extends a stone wall, running u; Jones’s creek (some 500 Is) to the Peniten- ry wall. This takes fn the ground on the »stern Branch front, from the west to the eastern rf. where the two channels unjte. The Poto- mac channel en the western angle is of twenty- four feet water, and the Eastern Branch channel as cf the samedepth. These two channels meet Tectly south of the Arsenal wall, some 300 yards n it. forming the principal channel down the ‘iver, aud leaving a triangular flat between the two channels and the Arsenal south wall. ‘This triangalar shoal, if filled up, would afford litional space comprising an extent of one wand feet south, and then running west on Potomac channel, making an additional space fifty thousand square yards, all fronting on the ater, Which would give more than two thousand in extent of deep water front, and greatly im- prove the grounds, ides facilitating the opera- tions of the Navy. The Nayy Yard channel some hundreds of yards above the junction of the two channels, is obstrneted by deposits carried there by north- erly winds blowing across. the Potomac flats, ing an expensive excavation necessary when- a la ship passes upto the Navy Yard. By extending this wall to the intersection of the channels, the action of the worthwest winds would be intercepted. The Arsenal buildings consist of the manufac- turing shops; the arsenals or store-houses for otms and engines of war; the — magazines; baildings for labor and supply, and the officers’ and soldiers’ quarters. ‘The manufacturing buildings are in a state of ruin, being cracked, crumbling and falling in every direction. This is x to the nature of the ground, which being “ made land.”’ is con- ng and giving way. he buildings ever so good, they would iciemt to meet the wants of an Arsenal like this, which is of the first class, being an Ar- senal of constriction. As regards the arsenals, there are but th-ee of them which can be regarded as in good condition, and one of these is used at the present time for a mber store house; the other two, inthe seuth square. are too stall and illy-constructed to be adequate to the requirements of the Department. There are four t porary buildings now filled with new and valnable stores, to the amount of several hundred thousands of dollars worth, and subject to loss by being thusexposed in buildings equate for t rvation The powder buildings are also inadeqaate— there being but three small buildings for this pur- post—one of brick, and two frame laboratories. The latter are mere shells and of no value what- ever. In time of war this department would be very deficient from the small number of hands they would be enabled to employ in the mannfac- turing of ammunition for small arms, mortars, «onnon, war rockets. ete. The buildings for labor and for supply, such as cuzine-honses, &c.. are very deficient in quality as well as in uber. narters ‘are amply sufficient for number of officers and soldiers needed in an arvenal of this size fn case of an extension of the grounds, they would need little additional accommodation; perhaps one set of buildings would be Soe sgpione tear the works, which would be situated at a considerable distance from the present quarters. in front of the quarters of Major Bell there are ed various cannon and mortars, which have aptured by our forces in some of the bat- ae Revolution, and in the war with Mex- ive. Two brass cannon taken from the Castle of Juan de Ulloa, at the capitulation of Vera Craz, an interesting — of this group, as also two surall pieces which were used by Gen. Wash- tzton at Valley Forge, and are cf wrought twisted iron, one of which bears in rusty characters the name of the Queen of France. As regards the proposed extension of the Arse nal grounds, there was an act of Congress passed at the last session making (as ix well known to our citizens) an appropriation of 250,000 for the purchase of all the ground north of the Peniten- tiary to P street soath, and from the Potomac Tiver to James’ ereek, as laid down on our city ; including about 41 acres, of which about oposed to be purchased, under the late net, at 10 cents per foot. The rest of the space is covered by streets and avenues, and will not therefore cost the Government anything. This will reduce the whole purchase to about 33 cents Per square foot. In addition to this there are Il aeres of water privilege which may be added by 2 proposed sea well on the Potomac front. Then if the Peniteatiary should be moved there will be 5 aeres more to add, which when added to the 5 acres now used by the present Arsenal works, makes an aggregate of 55 acres. All this is ex- «lnsive of the triangular shoal below the Arsenal seuth wall before joned, which could be so sivantageously walled in from the Navy Yard chaunel Maj. Bell propeses this spring to drain James’ creek by means of a tide gate to be established at the oatlet of the creek. The sum of $2,000 was tated at the late session of Congress for mrpose. On this creek there is a fall of $34 iret from G street south to the Arsenal on the marsh sonnding. The advantage of this drainage to the health of that portion of the city will be great and immedi- 2 id this advantage will be felt over the whole eastern portion of the Island to Capitol ud 2 up the Tiber back to English Hill as the residence of Jude Douglas. It is li known that the south wind blows the mi- + which arises from this marsh all along that portion of the ci 1 nseet to construct a grand ship canal avy Yard channel at its iatersection imac channel, up Jones’ creek in a faicht direction to the southeast wall of this point to the conjune- with wh with the F nearly . nth, ght, the tide would make up with great for: ceping italwayselear, thus furnishiny the means of bringing heavy ships up into the heart of the city It will be remembered that Col. $8.

The expense of the canal would, it is es- timated. he S000 The improvements of the Arsenal by the Ppro- posed extension will be of great advantage to the rity, as it will greatly increase the annual expen- diture of the Goverament here, giving employ- at to a largely increased numberof bands and remove besides. the dificulty to the Gover: ment of having to obtain the heavy work to mee! the wants of the service here from distant places One additional and very great advantage wili he the probable removal of the Penitentiary to some other and more convenient point, where the Government can erect wre suitable building, the present one bein, thing like the Arsenal, inadequate to supply the wants of the civil ser- vice. If this is done, as it isfin ¢ contemplation to do, from the present deficiencies of that institu tion, it would enable the Government to use the present building, with very little additional ex- pense, as a brass and iron foundry; it would have 2” water front on the river of 25 feet channel, and the buildings are aduu: ly adapted for the pur- pose mentioned by removing the floors and put- ting in necessary machinery, which would cost some 210,000 to $15,000. This plan would save the Government an ex- pense of $150,000, which they would be subjected t», and which the various Secretaries of War have, for the last twenty-five years, urged upon the con- sideration of Congress, and without success, in consequence of the great expense involved, for this very purpose. Such a foundry would don- bie the expenditure of the Government jn our city, and at the same time save the expense to the Government of pie Ser heavy cannon, &e., fom the distant foundries in the North. An ad- ditional advantage would be the having these operations famnediately under the eye of the De- partment. . The title deeds for this purchase are beinz made out, and the necessary arrangements will be in a few days completed. To the comprehensive mind and personal ac- Uvity ef Major Bell, the Commandant, the Isiand people are indebted for the contemplated im- provements which seem destined to make that qua: ter the sost healthful portion of the city, and the most desirable for private residences as well as for business purposes.

The Nicaragua News. New Yorx, April 16.—It is ascertained from one of the officers of the Tennessee that great dissatisfaction existed among the officers of Col Lockridge in Nicaragua, because of his refusal to attack the enemy at Castillo. Those well in- formed, however, of the strong position of the enemy, think that Lockrid ze pursued the wisest course in retreating, as the enemy had three stron; positions, the old castle at Castillo being fille with troops, the battery on the river's edge stronz- ly fortified, at least five hundred troops on Nelson's Hi Notwithstanding this formidable array, how- ever, the officers of Lockridge felt satisfied they could drive the enemy out. Much bitter feeling existed because Lockridge did not make an at- tempt, and a large number refused to follow his fortunes further. Some two handred were there- upon disbanded and disarmed. These will como home to the States by the next opportunity, pre- bably via Key West, to which point it was un- derstood they will be taken by an English man- of-war. They would have been brought by the Tennessee, but there was not sufficient time to get them on board. The force of Lockridge is now consequently reduced to about one hundred men, incinding ninety Texans. With these it was his intention to proceed on the steamer Rescuc to Punta Arenas, from thence to Aspinwall, thence to Panama, and next to Rivas, where he will join Walker. This course would cause some loss of time, but insure the safety at least of all hisarms and ammunition, as he would not be allowed to take them across the Isthmus The last accoants from Walker represent him to be still at Rivas, strongly fortified, with 509 men in yood fighting order. There were also some three hundred men in the hospital and others on duty. He has alse plenty of arms and four months’ supply of provisions. So firm ix his po- sition that he believes he can hold the place with a force of only 150 men.
