ANOTHER POWDER ExpLosIoN.--A dispate

ANOTHER POWDER ExpLosIoN.-A dispatch,
dated Philadelphia, July Both, says:
Shortly after o o'clock last evening two severe
shocks of distant explosion or an earthquake
were heard in the lower part of the city, and also
at Winchester Much anxiety was felt for the ar
rival of the cars from Wilmington, the general
impression being that it another powder ex-
plosion, which proved to be correct. 1t appears
that one of Garresches powder mills, about a
mile and half from Wilmington, exploded at
O'clock, killing the Waterman, j. Lynch, and Sc
verey injurng d. Cannon, the engineer. There
were three heavy explosions, which caused quite
a commotion in the city of Washington. The
property about the mill was not much damaged.

Poole is too big coward to fight me fairly at any
other place acknowledge that got the worst
