Accident at the Min es,

A sad accident occurred III the Boiiam
mines on Saturday forenoon, the result of care
lessness by miner. He had too much pow
der lying about him, and when his blast ex-
plodcd, which he had just fixed TO blow out
blast of coal, it ignited some loose powder
which communicated with some kegs Of pow
der, exploding four of them With tremen-
dous crash. -Four men were considerably
burned, and one of them badly. IL is won
der to us such accidents do not occur oItener.
We were down in these mines few days ago
anu were astonished TO sec a man sitting
down with about quart of powder in a news
paper, spread out loose before him, while
with his hands he poured it into a tube made
OF paper to fit into the driit. His lamp all
the time hung dangling from his cap, and
within few inches and Immediately over
the loose powder. They handle it as careless
ly as though it were sand. The report mu-.
have astonished the natives down there IN
the rooms adjoining the explosion. This vein
of coal is 285 feet under ground and is only
about five feet thick, so that the explosion
must have made the atmosphere little too
dense for the comfort of the workmen for a
while.-EUIhsviNe Enq.

We understand nearly all the candidates
for nomination to the various offices are alrea-
dy in the city. A goodly number of dele
gates are also ON hand, and we presume the
aggregate will be largely increased to-day
The intense coldness of the weather, how
ever, for the past few day will probably pre-
vent rs large an attendance, especially from
remote counties, where there are no railroad
facilities, as would otherwise be the case.
We hope and believe that the candidates
and delegates are fully impressed with the
necessity and importance Of union, harmony,
and Cancellation. That there should be con-
siderable rivalry is very natural anil proper,
hut ~ have not doyb, but that the moment
--<{hv-e50uvcntion makes the nominations, all
disappointments and heart-burninss will be
forgotten, and all will go to work heart
and hand to route the hosts of Black Repub'

RICHMOND, Jan. l. 1855.


JUDGE PERKINS:
Respected SRA diversity of opinion ex-
lists with .he advocates of Temperance in re-
gard to the prohibtory liquor law of our
State. There seems to be misapprehension OF
tAe decision made by our Judges-some de-
claring the law to possess no force-while
others think enough is left us for protection
from the ravages of Intemperance.
We wish to understand it, and TO know
how much is left for us to act upon.
To this end, in the name of the Social
Temple of Richmond, we ask you to inform
US how far it will be lawful for us to act in re-
straning the evils with which intemperance
is again filling our city. For the sake of
truth and happiness will you please write US
