rERRIRLE LOSS OF LIFE.

Ar explosion occurred on Monday last about
noon. at the Black Heth Coal Pits, in Chesterfield
county, II miles from Richmond. by which twenty
men were instantly killed. Of the whole number
down in the mine at the time of the explosion, only
one man escaped with his life,
The "DispatclP who sent special courier TO ga'h-
er the particulars of the sud affair, says:
When we reached the pits our heart became
appalled, at the shrieks and groans OF widowed
wives, whose husbands, many Of them IN t'e priine

suffer TO loss, being amply unidentified
This is probably the end OF one OF the most re-
markable cases to be found in the criminal annals
OF the country. The facts are familiar TO Our read
ers and indeed to nearly the entire people OF the
United States. An enormous fraud, supported by n
perjury. was practiced upon the Government, and
an amount exceeding $4,000 was drawn from the
Treasury. The principal in this ncarous transac-
ton was convicted, and one hour after the verdict
of the Jury was rendered, he committed suicide by
taking poison. His brother forfeited his -c"Ogni-
zance and it is reported and believed, that he left
the cit5 two weeks since toI some place beyond the
United States
The two Gardeners were prosecuted by Phillip
Richard Fendal Esq, late District Attorney of the
United States, and by the Hon. Henry May. of the
House of REPRESENTATIVES with the ability. zG& and
frmness for which they arc distinguished. About
$4,000 of the money improperly obtained tr0In the
Treasury, by George \. Gardiner, was soIIu time
since attached in the hands OF Mcssrs. Corcoran
Riggs, and WILL in due tn:e he returned to the
Treasury. The probability is, that the history of
the Gardiner claim, and report of the trial which
resulted in his conviction, Will, ut very distant
/ day, be publishcd; and il will be found 10 be
the most imposing and remarkable case 10 be
found liz the criminal authorities of this or any 9TH
