TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.

On Friday morning at - minutes before two
o'clock, an explosion occurred in one OF the Black
Herh Coal Pits in Chestcrfield-in consequence
of one Of the furnaces not being KEEP, mp, and The
current OF fresh air being thereby cut OH A barrel
Ut .;unpow,irr FIRST ieDt'd, and lis explosion
fired the gas. which was secrcted. Twelve hands
were in the PITT Englishmen and Negroes
@ belonging to Mr.. A. Reid, = 10 Mr. Malone,
10 Mr. Page, and ! 10 Mr. Drakc)
Mr.. Clifford the General Agent of the Compa-
nv. exhibited much intrepidi,y on the occasion.
and descended accompanied by Mr. Joseph Hail.
one of the Agents. About Ten yards from the foot
of the shaft, one of the Enslishmen Doseph Jew
ely was found, still living, hui senselesS lie will
probably recover. We learn from Yesterdays Com
piler 10 whom we are indebted for most of our
iacts) that all the bodies of those killed by the ey
plosion (excep, two of the Negroes were found,
horribly disfisured on Saturday, after an active
search The six colored men were burie, on Sa-
,urlay. and the three Englshmen were consigned
to the grave on Sunday morning. To-day, al
- NJ. Bishop Johns will preach their funeral
sermon al the house of Mr. Clifford. We should
be glad to listen to his eloquent commentary on
this awful diSpcnsaton of Providence
Much credit is due to Mr.. Benton, the mining
agent of the Black Heth Company, and 10
Mr.. Marshall the mining agent OF the Mid
lothian Company, for their energetic efforts,
for twenty hours, to recover the dead bodies.
The President of the Midlothian Company gene
rously placed his whole force al the disposal OF
Mr. Gilfonl-and Mrs. Kennon Of Norwood, with
the most praiscworhy kindness, sent her teams TO
render assistance. The neighborS promptly came
forward 10 do all in their power.
Ii is supposed that the mining operations will
be resumed about Thursday next
Since the terrible explosion Of 1910, when 81
lives were lost every precaution has been adopt
ed TO guard against danger-such as the use OF
Sir Humphrey Days safety lamps, &c but,
from the neglect of orders, this tremendous loss
of life occurred.

NEY KENT COUNTY.

At meeting of the Democratic Association Of
New Kent county, held at the Courthouse, on the
18th day of June,-that being Court day-Wm.
R. c. Douglass, Isl Vice President in the Chair,
and John s. Lacy Secretary, the following pream-
bic and resolutions were adopted:
Whereas the Democratic Republican party of
New Kent have learned, with feelings OF the
deepest regret, the rejection by the Senate o' the
United States off hc late Treaty, submitted To
them BY the Executive, for their concurrence, and
have seen the votes OF our Virginia Senators re-
corded among those whovoted 10 reject the Urea
" oil annexation: And whereas. We consider tina,
the vital interests OF the Union depend upon The
annexation of that Territory, as protection
against foreign aggression and domestic dsSen-
sion BY interposins natural barrier To foreign
inroad upon our South Western Frontier and 10y
quieling the appreliensions OF the South, and ar
resting the spirit OF Abolition, which threatens
our domestic peace
/. Re0lrsd, That we condemn unquailiedly
the votes of our Senators. recorded against the
proposed annexation of Texas and we consider
them Justly chargeable with neglectinS the interests
of Virginia and the Union and sacrificing the
dearest rights Of the country at the shrine OF
party.
9. Re0lred, That we consider the annexation
of Texas to this Union as OF vital concern TO the
whole country; and while il would rebound IN
calculably 10 the pecHaiarp interest OF The North,
it is measure which, by giving the South Just
weight in the national councils, will tend TO The
preservation Of its peculiar interests and the
safety Of the Union, BY producing an equilibrium
between it in all its parts.
3. Re@lred, That we have seen, with consIer-
Richmond enquirer. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1815-1867, 1844-06-18

Mr.. Simpson Member of Congress from 5.
Carolina, writes home, that he had the day before
seen "Mr. Van Zandl, the Texan Minister, who
informed us tina, he received letters the night be-
fore from Houston, the Texan President, stating,
that if the United States did not consent to take
Texas into the Union, application will be at once
made to England, Who as the correspondence be-
tween our Government and England shewS is
ready"
We must protest against the decision of Congress,
in relation 10 Texas-and throw the whole ques-
lion before an enlightened People. They ought
10 aet-and with promptitude and ,spirt-so as 10
cheer up our friends in Texas, and TO concentrate
public sentiment al home. The election of the
President, next November will be hailed, 10 some
extent at least, as the test Of this important question
If Mr.. CLAY be elected, his friends will consider the
verdict of the People as sealing the fate OF Texas.
Hence, we mus, raise the Flag OF POLK and
Texas"
Some of the friends of Texas in the South are
Tor holding a Southern C0nrenti0n-Eut II Con-
vcnlion be held, let il not be confined to section
LEI it not be called a Southern Concca,ti0n-but
lei il be Convention of Delegates, from the
friends of annexation, wherever they are found,
whether in Maine, in Pennsylvania, or in Lou
isiana-And lei not rush into either OF the ultra
alternatives, as has been advised by the "South
Carolinian," viz
THAT Convention of the slave States, BY De
legations from each, appointed as aforesaid, should
b. called TO meet at some central position, TO take
into consideration the question of annexins Tex
aSto the Union, if The Union nil accept IL; or, if
The Union arM mt accept a, then, OF anaersns
feras 10 tic Southern States!
THAT the President of the United States be re-
quessed by the General Convention OF the slave
States, to call Congress together Immediately,
When he final issue shall be made up, and the al
tentative distinctly presented to the free States,
