Awful Explosion.

The account of the explosion Of the Pow
der Mill near Pla,tvllle, Grant Co.; has been
furnished US by friend, who had the Partic-
uiars from person who has been on the spot
since the unfortunate event.
Mr.. MARBLE left Platveille on Monday
morning, for the Powder Mill which is some
distance from the town, with the intention of
packing Powder, and was probably engaged
in packing at the time of the explosion, which
occurred about 1 o'clock, the explosion be-
ing felt for great distance around. Numbers
were soon on the spot, when a search was
commenced for the remains; one hand, the
beck portion of the head, the soles of the feet,
and one ear, together with few small peices
not recognized were all that were found, some
of which were two hundred yards from the
Powder House.

large staff, was hailed with pleasure
Fifteen hundred military, an indefinite

The New Administration.

Scarcely has the cold earth ceased to
fall upon the coffin of the war-worn vet
eran who 50 recently filed the highest Of
fee in the gift Of free people and while
the tears of the nation are yet streaming
from the eyes of her devoted sons for a
loss SO irrepairable as that which has just
fallen upon this Union, the most vague
speculations are going forward as to the
course of policy that will be pursued, I'M
der the present critical state Of affairs, by
President fillmore.
Rumor. with her Thousand and one
tongues, is busy in laying out the course
of policy he will probably pursue The
selection of his cabinet, in our opinion, is
a sufficient guarantee that the reins of
government have fallen into discreet
hands With regard to his qualifications,
there cannot exist doubt His long ex-
perience in the councils Of the nation, in
connection with the shining example Of his
immediate predecessor, will enable him to
conduct the ship Of state safely through
the storms which are hanging over US :
and in SO doing he will not only deserve,
but will receive the gratitude and affee-
ton of the nation. We have no fears Of

THRILLING SIGHr.-James Me5er, in eros

may appear, he found himself but little brui-

SPIRIT KNocKINGs.-A Doct Grimes, (not

New York Tribune, says he has discovered
the secret Of these mysterious ;. Knockings "
The following is his account of it, as obtained
from one Of the females in engaged in the bust
ness -
/ The knockings were made by various me-
/ chanlcal tricks and by the aid Of three confed-
/ crates, one of whom was a yong woman, who
/ lived at the next house and the other two
/ were young men, her cousins-J he knocking
in the middle of the floor was caused by a
board under the floor poised Iikea lever and
/ so arranged that when she stood near
window she could step upon a peg W ich was
! connected with one end of the lever and
cause the other end to rise and knock against
! the middle of the floor.
! The knocking on the table was produced
| in several ways sometimes by one of the
cOnfe !erates, who had his hand or foot under
/ the table, but in most instances It was done
/ by deception which is similar TO that often
/ practiced by yentri loquists thus, the compa-
/ ny all sitting or standing around the table,
/ expecting a sound to proceed from it, will
most of them believe that the sound actually
/ does proceed from the table, although in real
/ ity it is produced by the rapping Of a finger
( against a chair several feet from the table. IT
/ the leading persons present were shrewd and
\ skeptcal, and manifested d disposition TO
scrutinize the proceedings too closely, the plan
was for the spirits to refuse to answer until
they ware gone and their places suppl ed by
