The proprietors being convinced that an insttu-
ton of this kind would be blessing to the SICK and
the invads Of our city and state, and those Of our
sister states, who would resort to this mode Of cure,
have spared neither pains To place this in

temperature Of $40 Farenheit, highly impregnated
with carbonic gas in constant effervesence. The
water is remarkably light and all the springs are
shaded by large trees. Walks lead from one to the
other, giving ample opportunity for walking. The
place is known one Of the heahiest and most de-
lightful in Maryland.
As Hydropathic Institutions are not places Of
amusement, but are only for the sick and iRvalids,
every thing more readily may and will be done to
promote their comfort and health. Neither is the
time Of visiting or entering them confined to one
season. but they are open at all Of the year.
Experience having proved that the winter or cold

when abreast of the fngae Raritan,
that vessel was discoveref,o be on fire
on THE main deck, and that they imme-

her passengers, who volunteered TO as
sist in suppressing The flames, and put
back TO Norfolk for engines, which
they obtained from the frigate Pennsyl-
vania. However, on again reaching
the frigate, Capt. Sutton found that the
volunteers among his passengers had
nearly suppressed the flames, and thai
he then started on his passage. After
leaving the frigaie he observed several
boats from the friga,e Columbia APP
preaching the Rar,tan, one Of which
was swamped and overturned, and Ell
ther two or three Of the crew drowned.
The FIRE is supposed to have been COM,

yhey might as well repudiate the loans

that any member of Congress, posses

Buncombe, but, as heretofore he will
talk in different way in the Senate
Last year, at this time, he threatened
the President with an impeachment for
having sent General Taylor to the
frontier. Blu, we heard nothing more
of the matte: after MIR. Webster took
his seat. He had friends in the House
whom he could have induced and aid :
ed to propose an impeachment, but he
was quite inactive on The subject.
Last year, again, Mr.. Webster told
The people Of Massachusetts that "no-
body voted for the war" The journ-
ais Of Congress, however, showed that
almost every body voted for it. He
now, therefore, lakes a new ground
that Congress was surprised into the
war; Congress, it is % be hoped,
has, by this time, recovered from their
surprise, and viii, act with more vigor
and promptness than ever in relation 10
any measures brought before them for
the prosecution Of the war. They
will find that we are in the war, and
that all hopes and promises Of peace
are likely 10 prove delusive, as they
have done heretofore. They will find,l
in word, that we must either abandon
the war or fight il out. The admins
tration will do their duty and prosecute
the war with all the means at It's dispo-
sal, and there is no reason to doubt that
Congress will follow its lead, and Sc
cond all its Efforts.

THE NATIONAL CONVENTION.

Several of the democratic papers in
New England seem to be very much in
favor Of holding the convention for the
nomination of candidate for the pres
idency upon the anniversary of our ma
tional independence. They urge sew
eral weighty considerations in support
OF their views, while they believe that
no good reason can be given against
them. Beside the enthusiasm and
Kind feeling and harmony which that
glorious event IS calculated to inspire,
they consider short and vigorous
campaign more likely to ensure success
than long and spirltless one. Among
The papers which recommend this
course, are the Bangor Democrat and
Frontier Journal in Maine, and the
Boston Post and Barnstabe Patriot in
Massachusetts. Several other highly
respectable journals have taken the
same ground. The Patriot says:
"Wbai day SO appropriate, for this
great national purpose as the FOURTH
OF july? What happy, harmonizing
influences always affect US on that glo-
rious day. What spirit of unity ard
concession would inspire the coun-
sells Of the conven,ionn' awe
hope to see the Democratic press of
the whole country recommending the
Fourth of July as the proper day for
holding the great democratic national
convention"
For ourselves, we seq no objection
certainly to the Attn of July 1913, as
the tine for holding the eonvenion.-
We shall cheerfuIly acquiesce in the ses
lection of any day most convenient for
the meeting. AT all events, we do not
hesitate to express our opinion that it
would be better to hold it at a later Pc
Rod than May, l84s.-U Union.

DREADFUL .CALAM1rY.-T -enen-
dous Ponder MIL Explosion and Loss
Of Life One Hundred Houses destroy
ed.-A Geographic despatch from Gin
cinnati, Oct. Is, IL, P. NJ, to the
Philadelphia papers, communicates the
following dreadful intelligence, being a
portion of the awful effects of the late
storm. The despatch says;
The Nashville papers received here
this evening, contain a most dreadful
narrative of the explosion of the extern
sive powder magazine, at that place,
on Tuesday evening last.
During the prevalence of an unusu-
ally severe thunder storm, the maya
zine was struck by lightning, and a
terrific explosion followed j literally
blowing the building to atoms, and
what is most dreadful TO relate, sever
al persons were buried in the ruins. 49,
AS soon as the CONSERVATION into which
the people had been thrown 5y this
sad occurrence was subsided-,hey
Immediately went to work and remov-
ed the rubbish, for the purpose of ex-
treating the sufferers, and they have
already succeeded in digging ont ten
dead bodies-but so horribly mu'iIated
that it was with difficulty that they
could be recognised.
The scene was heart-ren1lng in the
extreme. Mothers, fathers, brothers
and sisters, were present, and ever and
anon, as body was recovered, they
sent up wall of anguish that told too
true the fate oflhose who We're dear to
them.
How many bodies are entomoed in
the ruins is impossible to tell.
Upwards of one hundred houses were
entirely destroyed or completely wreck
ed. The following are the names of
some ofthe persons who are prominent
among the sufferers, by this sad catas-
trophe: William Taylor, Mrs. Ceve-
land, Messrs. Reed, Chandler, Bang,
Turner, Harris, Moore, Cole, Stout,
Deanny, Stephens, Chandler, J. l.,
Smith, Rev. Henry Warch.
There are at least fifty Others, but it
is impossible to give all their names a,
present.
The new Methodist Church and the
warehouse attached, shared in the gen
ruin.
The dwelling of Mr.. Showers, near
the Magazine, was entirely demolished,
and young lady, a membenof his fam
lily, was instantly killed, and the rest OF
she family more or less injured.
The explosion was heard for several
miles around, and many thought 1t was
the rumbIing of an earthquake.
