Pow der ETiI Explosion.

At twenty minutes past five o'clock
on Tuesday afternoon last our village was
startled by report of the explosion of the
press house of WILLIAM RUssELL?s Powder
mill situated just east of the village. As
the shock from the explosion was very light,
it was some moments before any one from
this part of the village started to ascertain
whether any serious accident had occurre
The circumstances of this explosion are
simply these Two boys, aged from six to
eight years, went to the mill for the purpose
of getting a small bottle filled with powder,
but those who have charge of the mill deem
ing them to young to be allowed the use of
powder, refused to let them have it, saying
that they had none to spare. But they were
allowed to remain upon the ground, and
finally worked themselves around to the back
Green-Mountain freeman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1844-1884, 1857-09-17

side of the press house, where it is supposed
that they either set fire to some scattering
powder upon the ground, Or one of them
had got inside of the building, and in soma
manner applied a match to some SCATTERING
powder, whereby the building together with
nearly ton of powder which was in it at
the time, were blown to atoms. A gentle
man, who was passing in the road Just op-
posite the mill at the time, says that he saw
one boy in the air nearly 20 or 80 feet from
the ground, but the Physicians do not think
this possible, as neither of the boys were
bruised in such manner as would necessarily
be the result from such fall. One of the
boys, HERBERT W, son of Mr.. H. E,
BRADFORD, when found was dead, with one
side of his face and the back of his head
burnt to a crisp, and in fact nearly his whole
body was burnt and BACKED in a shocking man.
ner His skull was badly broken, and he was
probably instantly killed by the explosion.
When found he was but about two rods from
where the building stood. He was buried on
Wednesday afternoon; his age was six years.
The other boy, son of Mr. NELSON HARVEY,
is also burnt in horrible manner. His
skull is badly fractured, 50 much so that it
was impossible to prevent his brains from
oozing ont.
We hope it may never be our lot to again
witness such sad and horrible sight a.
these two lads exhibited on Tuesday after.
noon, About two hours before the sad
calamity occurred, both of them left their
homes in perfect health, but when they re.
turned, one was the lileess remains of him who
was but short time before busily engaged in
his boyish and innocent sports. The otter,
although living, will undoubtedly, should he
recover, carry the marks of this accident to
his grave with him. Mr.. BRADFoRDs son
had but recently recovered from severe
sickness of the lung fever, which it was not
thought for long while he would, and now
after watching by the side of his sick bed
for so long a time, and when these fond pa
rents had just begun to feel that he was past
all danger. to have him brought home
lifeless corpse. in such a manner that hardly
the least features of him could be recognized,
is a blow which falls very heavily upon this
family and one which will receive the
deepest sympathy from all our citizens.
At the time the explosion occurred, the
hands employed at the mills were all absent
to tea, otherwise the loss of life would un-
doubtedly have been much greater. To-day
wednesday, the Harvey boy is alive, but
the physicians entertain but slight hopes of
his recovery,
p. S. Since the above was in type the
Harvey boy has died, and will be buried at
10 A. M. on Observation-Disclosures Ban

THE Press ON THE PRESIDENTS LETTER.
Many of the Journals which h4yS-givea their
support to the general Kansas policy of the
President, do not find his letter acceptable.
The N. Y. Commercial advertiser, says:
1t seems to us that the President has
needIessly thrown down the gauntlet of de-
fianee to the popular sentiment of large
majority of the people of this Union, and
unquestionably to all the Free State when
he says that slavery constitutionally exists
in every territory of the Union, and that it
is a mystery to him that anybody should
ever have doubted it! One is almost tempt
ed to ask whether Mr.. Buchanan himself
did not doubt it before the decision was
made in the famed bred Scott case. Our
own impression is that the language of his
inaugural implied such doubt"
The N. Y. Times, while declining to COM
ment upon the particular sentiments avowed
by the President, says:
We publish the reply of the President
in full to-day, conceding to it the consider
able space which it occupies, more as mark
of respect to the National Executive than
because of any particular value inherent in
the production itself. The whole transaction
strikes us as both superauous and undigni-
fed. The letter of Mr.. Buchanan, while it
announces nothing which had not before been
potent to the country in the policy of his
administration, deals with grave questions
of State in the spirit rather of a politician
than of a statesman, and is just as unsatis-
factory as it was uncalled for"

WALKER NOT SUSTAIN Ell. The cry that Walk
or would be sustained 10 his decaratio that all
the people of Kansas should have the privilege
OF voting, does not tally very we'll with the
new tack Of the Administration. The follow
ing was Walkers position, taken from his
speech Of June last
" In October next, not under the act Of the
late Territorial Legislature, but the laws OF
Congress, you, the whole people OF Kansas,
have right to elect a delegate to Congress,
and to elect Territorial Legislature, and
through that Legislature you can speak your
views"

choice of representative Of the State of NewJersey
in the Senate Of the United States in the place Of John
r. Thomson, whose term of Office will expire on the
fourth Of March next is at the present time engaging
the attention of the newspapers and politicians of New
jersey especially Of those belonging to the admnistra-
ton patty. The prominent candidates are Senator
Thomson who aIdently desires TO be reelected, Gen.
L. r. V. Wright, John p Stockton, and Gov. Rod

Buchanan, with his coadjutor, Mr.. Wright, and with
most Of the Democratic newspapers in the State. He
un ioubtedy possesses strength than any other Of
those who seek the poet. Gen Wright has been
prospecvely candidate for the past three years and
for year past his friends have been actively at work
TO promote his prospects. He has fast friends it
is believed, in the State Senate, who viii adhere to
him firmly and prevent any ether choice 10y voting

Delaware has been one Of the States 10 which
ordinarily the Sham Democracy has been IN lean
minority. The American movement has resulted
in giving that party political strength there such
as it never possessed before. AT the last election
the sO.called Democracy completely swept the
State, which they carried by majority quite I'M
exsmpled in the history OF Delaware. or the
twen.y-one members who compose the Lower
House of the State Legislature all are Democrats,
90 called and the Senate would have been equally
unanimous but for the holding over of part Of
that body AS it is, the Democrats have five out
of the nine Senator's. As il to give greater eclat
to ibis triumph it deyOlyed on this Democratic
Legislature TO elect two United States Senator's
Mr. BsysIGs term expiring with the preSen: Con-
gress and vacancy existing in the seat lately oc-
cupitd by John NJ. Clayton. On Wednesday these
seats were filed by the reelection of Mr.. Bayard
for the long term, and the election Of Martin W..
Bates for the short term.
It woud have been difficult for the Legislature
to select two persons whose political character pre-
stnted stronger contrast, at least if We are to
Judge from their past history and present reputa
tion. Dir. Bayard has on all occasions shown strong
Pro Slavery pIOcliyities. Being member OF the
Convention held a few years. ago to frame new
Constitution for the State, he introduced provis-
ion, and contriyed to get it adopted, BY which the
Legislature Was to be stripped of the power Of
passing any law of emancipation. Mr. Bates was
also member Of that Convention. He moved to
strike out the provision which had been adopted on
Mr.. Bsyards motion, supported bis proposition by
powerful speech in which Slavery was handled
without gloves, and prevailed on the Convention to
reject what they had just before adopted.
Mr. Bayard voted for the Kansas-Nebraski
ipiquity, and in pubic speech at Wilmington
justified the outrage Of Brooks upon Sumner. Mr..
Bates We have doubt, utterly detests both those
proceedings. Indeed, whether We regard him as a
private citizen or a public man, the Legislature
might seem to have selected MIN expressly By way
of contrast to his colleague.
