GREAT EXPLOSIONS!

THREE POWDER MILLS BLOWN UP!!!
One Dwol1ing House-One Barn, and
t,ro out Buildings blo1rn TO atons!!--
And strange to say, no Ines lostH!
On Monday morning last, at about
half past ten o'clock, the Powder Mills
belonging to Messrs. Foot & Gilbert,
standing about two miles west of this
village were blown up. There were
three distinct explosions at intervals
Of twenty or thirty seconds. The first
was the Cylinder Mil, which was a
short time before put in operation;
and the workmen had left but about
five minutes previous--and who were
at the time working in the Corning
Mill. about five rods distant-and
which blew up within twenty seconds
giving the men barrel y time to leave
the mill, and throw themselves into
the brush within twenty feet of it.
And strange as it may appear, they
escaped slightly injured-one without
mark of injury except from being
BACKED by the powder; the other re.
ceived billet of wood in his breast
They had scarcely arose from then
hiding place, when the packing house
which contained four or five hundred
barrels of powder, exploded, prostrat
ing them again-and leaving not
vestige to mark the spot on which i
stood. The ground for several fee
around was swept clean of ever.
thing. A dwelling house standing nea
it was unroofed--two sides wer
blown in, and not even joist LEI
standing. The piastering of the stand
ing walls were shaken from them
The partitions were broken to piece:
feather beds were SHOOK up," and nc
person, of the six or seven in tn
house, injured.
The conclusion was so great tina
buildings in the village received col
siderable injury from it. One buil'
ing at least mile and half from tn
mills had twenty or thirty lights br'
:. ken out, and another had one windo'

sed up in his bed. His request was
granted, when he Immediately reach
ed out his skinny hand beneath his pill
low, and lo-another box was found
cunningly concealed, ntaining about
five hundred dollars in French gold
pieces, which it is understood he took
from one of the banks; about the time
OF the suspension Of specie payments.
All these buried treasures were given
in the keeping of his neighbor for the
benefit of others. He said there was
one other box, but that he didn't like
to tell where it was, he might want it
himself. He however consented to
write the place of interment on a
piece of paper, SO that the secret might
not perish with him. He died soon al.
ter, and his hidden treasures--no in
considerable sum--were counted over
at the close of the funeral cerelno-
MES.
Thus died, a: an advanced age, one
whose only aspiration, through a long
life, seems to have been the boarding
of specie and burying it, where it
could be of no earthly benefit to any
one-a perfect miser--a lover of mo.
ney, not for the blessings which ii
might impart and ditiuse around him
but for its own sake-not for the name
Of possessing it--for he feigned and
was thought to be poor-but because
the mere habit of acquisition had be-
come y passion, and the bare con
seriousness Of possession was pleas
Urea phantom of delight, which he
could hug with rapture to his bosom
Well will it be for such if they have
laid up treasures in Heaven as wei
as on earth. But we will not sermo
nize---the lesson conveyed by the
sketch is left with the reader.--Clarc

THE BANKS.

Great and very just complaints are
made by both political parties, and
particularly by the wings, (who seem
determined to prove that they are not
the Bank party,) against the line OF
policy pursued by the banks in the
present crisis. Wanting unity Of ac-
ton among themselves, and indeed
entertaining the most absurd jealous
les Of one another, they contend and
struggle for their individual safety, and
are willing that the merchants should
be ruined. Indeed it has been sug-
gested by some of the wise managers
Of their institutions, that it would be
we'll to make one half of the mercan-
tile community stop payment so that
the market might be relieved! A pref
ty piece Of philosophy that! If the po-
pulation Of this city were starving for
want Of bread, we suppose that these
humane sages would advise that one
half the citizens should be butchered
SO that the ,otherhalf might have plen.
ty to eat! But the people will moi
Elong tolerate the outrageous tyranny
of these monied institutions. If they
do not soften their tone, they may ex
pecta run for specie. Nothing is ca
4 sier than to create panic Of this kind
and if these small monsters do no
! close their devouring jaws pretty soor
I. they must be ready to be caught ant
4 Gagged in such manner as to proven
, their future depredations. Establish
ed expressly by the laws of the State
for the assistance and relief of trade

A SKETCH FROM LlEE.-And old fell
low, whose name we vail under that
of Hunks, died in the adjacent town
of Charleston last week, who would
have been a capital subject for Dick
ems, and might have sat to Scott for
his inimitable character of Trapbois
in the Fortunes of Nigel. He was a
misery, close-fsted old hunks, a real
skinllint, who, it YVES supposed by his
neighbors, had scraped together, as
such characters will, in one way and
another, considerable amount Of mo-
nev. This was not kown however.
Some said that he had money con-
cealed in the earth-otners, judged
from the slovenly manner in which ne
lived and dressed, that he had nothing
but the the few acres which he culti-
waited. He lived like the poorest, shut
ting his door upon every intruder
till at last Death knocked, and he was
obliged to open. During his sickness
he was won't to send daily fora small
purse Of silver and gold, hid in the
wall Of his cellar, which he would
count over with that feeling of pain
full delight, which inhabits the bosom
| of the true miser alone. Disease, how
ever, wore down his frame rapidly,
and a9 last he was unequal to the task
Of going through his daily custom Of
| counting the pieces in his purse, and
!, could only. as they were displayed be-
. fore him, pat them softly with his
hands, as lady pats her favorlte dog
on the back. One day during the las1
stages Of his disease, he sent for ;
neighbor, and, expressed to him wlsf
| to impart a secret to him.--''Go dowr

residence of the minister of the Cos
pei, and the ladies and gentlemen
allghted and proceeded 20 see the
pastor. After a time had elapsed SUI:
hclent to tie the Gordian knot, they
sailed forth with a smile of satisflc-
ton beaming on each countenance,
and to cool their perturbed spirits,
they took a stroll towards the capitol
The bride was a young lady of fifteen

they looked like a charming pain.
The bridesmaid and groomsman fol.
lowed after, loobingas pleased as tho
they had escaped from an earthquake.
They sauntered along, mute with un.

tering the capitol gate, when the
brides papa and her brother, who
were laying in ambush. seized the la.
dy and her attendants and carried
them to a carriage. The groom at.
tempted a rescue, but he was knock.
ed down, and his bride was spirited
away before he recovered from the
shock. She and her fair companion
were conducted, in the safe keeping
oftather and brother, to Alexandria

cancellation or an appeal to the laws

From the N. Y. Evening Post.


My dear S;ir,-The following brief
extract on the case Of the prisoners
of the Amistad, from discourse which
| delivered on last Sunday morning,
| have been requested to send for in
sertion to some Of the public prints.
| confess that / am induced to do it,
not more by the request, than by the
comment which | have frequently
heard since Sunday, on the boIdness
of the passage. Boldness, sir? Has
it then come to this-that, from the
unhappy controversy which has arts
en- among us, concerning Slavery, we
are to be prevented from expressing
the sentiments of common humanity?
If it be so, then | think it is time that
those who are not Abolitionists, as |
am not in the technical sense Of that
word should let it be known that nei-
Their are callous to the claims of eter-

"What if we were doomed to take
the place Of those unfortunate men,
who are now immured in the prison
OF a neighboring city-yes, and I'M
INJURED there for the very act which
has rendered our forefathers illustri-
ous-for drawing the svord for free
dom! We honor the memories Of our
fathers, and incarcerate those who
have initiated them! And know
not but that the abused freedom Of
our discussions, on kindred topic
abused alike in the maintenance and
in the resistance Of them-has lessen
ed the sensibility wsich just and
! generous people ought to feel, to the
affecting case that is presented to US.
Let me then turn from the particu-
lar subject Of my discourse to speak
| of it for Il moment. A company Of
persons are torn from their homes and
sold to the man-stealer that ever
prowls about the coast Of unhappy
;. Africa. Alas! that that iniamou:
, traffic should still prevail--nay, anc
, with Increased extent and atroclty
, These unhappy persons are thrust IN
to the hold of a slave ship-treatet
: with cruelty never inflicted OF
: beasts-sutler all the indescribabl'
5 errors of the middle passage-and a
f length, are landed upon an unknown
$ shore, far from their country, thei
: children and their homes. Their re
). purchase in Havana, their change 0
r masters, and their conveyance OF
: board another ship, altersnot the cas-
# to them; it is all one tissue Of wrong
|. fact strengthening into the bond c
y endless slavery. If the worm, trod
; den on, will turn; if the insect, press
$ ed by an unwary hand, will sting;
J. the wild beast will tear and rend t
q free himself from the hunters toll:
= will not a man, conscious of right i
n his bosom, rise against the injustic
J. that binds him to hopeless captivity
70 know not what the laws of nation
p what treaties and compacts ma
= demand-but | know what humanit
4 demands. And the man who will ne
f.. groan within himself if these alread
suffering, wronged and injured being
70 must be sent back to a bloody deaf
j. in Cuba, deserves not himself to |
rs free"
