TERRIFIC ExPLosIoE-A terrible explosion
| of the boilers OF the steam saw mill a. Indus
| tria five mile. above Mnreapolis) took place
on the Sd inst. The St. Anthony News says
At the time of the catastrophe there we're IL
men in the mill, and it is q very miracle that
many were not killed on the spot Tie noise
| OF the explosion was terrific, and the wreck was
total and most complete. The report of it was
dstinctly heard in st. Anthony, and oven as far
| off a. the Half Way House, on the ST. Paul
road, ten miles away! Hardly one timber was
| left upon another, and all the men standing
nearest were crushed in the ruins. The mill
was demolished The Engineer, Mr.. J. Wolf,
had his leg broken at the thigh, and was other. |
wise severely injured. William Hall suffered
horrible fracture of ono leg, portion Of is
being carried away. Four others, whose
names we did not learn, were badly wounded.
One of the boilers, thirty feet in length noarly
three feet in diameter, and weighing 5000
pounds, was blown quarter Of mile, by ac-
teal measurement, through the air, passing over
two dselling-houses in its fight. Another
boiler sunk half its length in adjacent
bank while the third remained unmoved. The
disaster is attributed to the sa!ety-,aves being
out of order

MERCANTILE IkTgGRIry.-The Philadelphia /
Inquirer states that, during the height Of the |
pressure and panic which recently prevailed,
leading wool house of that city aseertaincd that
it had on hand promissory notes amounting in
the aggregate to three hundred and twenty tour
thousand dollars, and all given by manufactur-
ing firms in New England that had suspended
temporarily. The entire lot OF paper AS re-
newed for six months, and the interest in each
case paid in advance. few days since,
the same house, on looking over its accounts,
found with some surprise, as well as no little
qualification, that every dollar of tho paper thus
renewed, with the exception of about three
thousand dollars, had been paid at maturity.
ANOTHER SUBMARINE CABLE FArLKD-The
submarine cable from Dover to Calais has
ceased TO do Geographic duty. 1t had been in
successful operation for years, and its failure
now is proof positive that the modes OF insu-
lation AS yet discovered are inadequate for
permanent communication under salt water,
even for short distance. This renders the
case Of the great Atlantic Cable, in its pre-
sent predcamen:, utterly hopeless. At the best
it could not have been relied on for a great
length OF time. New inventions and sub tan
tal improvement 3, however, making electric
communication across the Atlantic fixed sue
cess, not to be despaired of.
SLAVERY IN NEBRAsxA-Mr. Daily, Of Ne
maha, introduced into the House. on the 25th
ult, b il prohibiting slavery and involuntary
servilude in the Territory Of Nebraska, after
the lst Of January, 1859. II was referred to a
select committee Of fve., with instructions to
report the Sd inst. The nature Of tho re-
port we have yet to learn.
THE REPUBLICAN Stare TIcKEr-We have
the satisfaction Of announcing this morning that
returns have been received from all the coun.
ties in the State but three, footing up as follows
Republican Is, 905, Democratic llO,77l-Re-
publican majority S,l34. The counties vet to
hear from are Calhoun, Jackson and William
son, which gave Richardson $3.50 over Bi.,seH
in 1856. This would leave the Republican ma.
jority 5,344 in the whole State. The official re-
suit will probably not vary 800 votes from these
figures. Our majority is as likely to 20 above
5, 900. as to fall below it. We shall nubii sh the
full official returns as soon as received--Chicago
Tribune.
Says Mrs. Darlington, "when woman has
once married with congcaling heart, aad one

er want to come into the maritime state again."
