TERRIBLE POWDER MILL EXPLOSION.

WLsIsoroy, AUo. Sour citizens were startled
this morning about eight o'clock, by two distinct and
very heavy explosions, which shook the houses and
shattered the glass in many windows. The cause was
understood 10 be an explosion at Gnreches Powder
Mils near this city. The drying house Of the e.
| tablisLment which is located in Eden Park was
blown up as is supposed through the c"relessness Of
n workman. The house contained about ono and
half tons OF powder aud the explosion ana eohcue
sion resulting, were tremendous. The house bad
been in operation for about forty years without an ac
cident and was considered the safest house at the
Works All connected with its operations were Kill
| cd nt once. They were blown 10 atoms and the re-
| mains were found at various diStances-from forty
70 two hundred yards from the house. Three OF the
worknen were Frepchmen named Eugene P"rene
Joesph DuPearce, Francis Fisler. BOY nanea M
! .Jobu Pugh was also employed in the house az 'ne
! time-all were killed. ~ :.
Tb. eInlosiou of the dry house caused mill, st-
unted about three hundred yards distant to explode,
| In this mill four persons were dangerously hurt ano
two badly wounded. Peter N. Giney was thrown
about 40 feet and, thought, Will harny recover.
| Patrick Burck wus running from the null when the
liohnng rod descended, fracruring his skull Hsrs-
c4ysry ia doubtful. Thomas Mullen had his collar
hone broken by the descent OF piece OF timber
The engineer, Mr. Mitchell, was seated at his post,
reading newspaper, when me explosion took place,
He saw barrei OF po"oel eAPioue' Jul eoSoPeo wiz
The mill was torn to pieces. There were shout
140O pound. of powder in it. which is less than usual
The trees around the drying house were blows
up by the roots and one or TWO norses ID the neigh
| borbood were killed.
A man not connected with the mill 10 said to have
been killed, but this seems doubtful
Drs. A.kew, Bush, Wilson and Draper, from Will
mington are present, rendering all the aid N heu
power to the wounded.
Mr.. Garesche says the explosion must have been
caused By one of the Fr-nchmen who worked IN the
packing room, and was addicted to smoking pipe
Mr. 6. had cautioned him two weeks previous ao"u'
i and told him 10 Gui, the pre,n;.es, quit his pipe
and be supposed until now that be lad abandoned

A SINGULAR FACT.

The Judiciary Of only State in the Union has
declared the fugitive slave Inv unconstitutional
that of Wisconsin, the majority Of whose citizens are
foreiguers.-l National american.
Before the National American can prove what il
aims TO prove it will have to show that the Judiciary
of Wisconsin is composed Of foreigners. Should II
succeed in doing that it will have proved bu. small
proposition.
There is another proposition, however, that is easy
of proof IL is that the delegates from the Northern
States to the ln;e National Know Nothing Conven'
ton, with few exceptions, "declared' in favor OF the
repeal of the Nebraska bill, against The admission OF
new slave States into the Union, and against tile Il.
riiive slave law Most Of those men retired from that
Convention, and as We are informed, are now CO.
operating, actively and jealousy cooperating i'll that
great fusion abotunlsta, fanatics, and disunion'
sts which has most falsely aud protanely assumed 10
itsrlf the tiine-honnred name of Republican:
Thcre is another thing that is true, and should DO
distinctly and gratefully remembered. It'll that when
all Massachusetts up in arms against the enorce'
,nen of the Fugitive slave law, i'll the case OF An
thony Burns aud when but the bravest and most
loyc would venture To strike for law order, the Con-
otution and the rights of property, there was one
military company that sgnazed itself for its devo-
tion and its services. That not Massachusetts

TO OUR MERCuA N,rS-A SUGGESTION.

~ YIN mERIftAN lS-A SltIGESIlON.
A few days ago, We had n conversation will, mcr-
chant from the country, who Submitted certain sug-
gcstions touching the trado of Richmond, which we
deem OF sufficient Importance to ny before those of
our merchants who rend the Enquirer The gentle.
man in question is Il man Of Intelligence and speaks
by the card rs he has frequently experienced the dill.
hculty to which he alluded.
The gst OF what he said is contained in the remark
that the merchants uf Richmond, ought. by oil man.
ner OF MEANS to have their goods in store by the 18th
of August, at the very latest. The reason assigned
by him WAS thn formerly country merchants had nu
need to have their goods in store earlier than the
first OF May and the middle of October, while now
they could no. prulcntIy wait longer than early i'll
March and September. Tho people of the country
buy their supplies al IN earlier period OF the season
than they formerly did. This change OF habit among
the nnni''" has cnmsrd corr.sr"~ I:s cnnngc III the
habits of the merchants. They come into the city
early in August, before the houses here have made
up their st"cks, and finding our merchants unpre-
pared for the trade they go further aud make their
bills in Baltimore, Philadelphia or New York. Our
informant stated that while he had ever been dis.
posed TO buy in Richmond, rather than elsewhere, he
had on several occasions beon compelled to go fur
thor III order to get his goods homo in tims for the
opening of the season. His was not singular case
the same thing having happeaoI to other. within his
knowledge.
These remarks will scom to apply chiefly 10 the
wholesale bouses but in the estimation OF our friend
it was not less important that the retailers should
have their stocks in uso The reason assigned was,
that there were many articles which country mer.
chants had to purchase Of retailers, because they
were not kept by tho wholesale houses.
These suggestions come most too late to he Of any
advantage 10 tho trade the present season, and nigh,
for that reason, worry well have been suppressed
But We have the welfare Of our beautiful city too
much at heart to keep back anything that may by
possibility contribute to, or enhance i:s prosperity
1t may he that friends suggestions no, such
will avail anything to those for whose benefit
have penncl and printed them. 1t is well, however,
to be armed ut all points, and prepared in every re-
spect to accommodate all who may come into our
| market 10 supply themselves
