By the thousand tons.

--One hundred and fifty men have been for a long time past, and are yet, busily engaged at the Watervliet (N. Y.) Arsenal, as we learn from the Troy Times, making gun carriages, preparing caps, cartridges, &c. Thousands of tons of war material have been sent off from that station to Fort Pickens, Jefferson, Tortugas, and other fortifications. Shell, canister and grape shot are being sent off to a fabulous extent, and heavy gun carriages to mount the forts have also been quite plentifully sent away.
