Shocking Accident--ExplOsiOn of Detonat-
ing Powder,

Yesterday morning, about o'clock, dread
ful accident occurred at the residence of Mr.. Ed
ward I. Finch, on Clay street, near Adams st.,
adjoining the new Methodist Church. Mr. Finch
was engaged in making detonating powder, for
percussion caps, in the rear chamber of the ee-
cond floor. A negro girl was rendering him
some assistance, and one of his children little
girl-was present, looking on. A small lot of
powder, which he had prepared, being dampen-
ed-probably by the absorption of moisture
from the atmosphere-Mr. F. undertook to dry
it by spreading it on newspaper, which he
placed before wood fire kindled in the CRATE
for the purpose. He no doubt thought it was
sufficiently remote from the fire to avert the Gan
ger of explosion, but fate decreed otherwise, and
while the unfortunate man was prosecuting his
work, the powder exploded with terrific effect
Mr.. Finch was badly burnt and confused. His
face was shockingly cut, and his eyes so injured
that it is feared he may lose the sight of one if
not both, should he survive. His right hand
was badly lacerated, and soon after his extrica-
tion from the ruins, the doctors amputated the
thumb and third finger. The negro sustained
severe injuries about the head, side and thigh,
which render her recovery doubtful. The little
girl miraculously escaped serious injury. She
was caught under a ratter, one end of which fell
upon bed, near which she was standing, and
held her fast upon it until she was rescued Mrs
Finch and her two children were in front cham
ber, and two more of her children were in the
parlor below-making nine persons in all who
were in the house at The time of the explosion.
Mrs. F. and these four children escaped without
injury, though they Were nearly overwhelmed
by the falling timbers and bricks.-Richnaond

New Market sth Star ARTILLERY.

Inns gallant company, under command of Oar-
tam VIM. ID. Rice, was ordered to this point bv
Major Harman to join the expedition to the
North West. This company was furnished here
"ith hne park of Artillery for their use which
was sent up from Richmond. The men were
unframed in the use of the cannon, and being
called upon by Gov. Letcher to give up the can
non to trained company of gallan. Tennessee

them as soon as it could be furnished. this gallant
company generously responded to the reouest

each other in generous emulation in the service
Of their State. They do not stand upon the or.

To the Militia

Now that the militia are required to muster
as often as once week. and will in all probabil-
ity be soon called into active service on the tent.
ed field, we would suggest the propriety of elect
ing all their officers anew, and of using their
guns in the drill that they may learn to use them
as the manual requires Each company should
The honor of the company and proper care for
the lives of the soldiers demand this. We are
sure that those who are officers now will not OBJ
ject to an election, for if they are the choice of
the company they will be reelected, and if not,
they would not desire to command them. We
have no doubt that the officers generally will
take pleasure in giving their companies an OPP
portunity to Indicate their choice.

MT. Crawford Cavalry.

Rockingham county was represented in the
camp at this place last week by the Mt Oraw-
ford Cavalry, Capt. VIM. N. Jordan. This COM
pany showed that it was animated by the pro-
per spirit by the willingness it manifested to take
any kind of arms, and to go in any branch of
the service that was deemed advisable by the
commandant. Whilst as Cavalry, though they
preferred pistols, yet they were willing to accept
double-barrelled shot.guns. When they found
that they would be more effectual in the country
to which they were to be sent, as Infantry than
Cavalry, they voluntarily and cheerfully dis
mounted and accepted muskets. They said they
were willing to go any way, if they could but
get chance to meet the enemy.

them, the Whig says:
ssWe have reliable information that similar re-
ports were at the same time heard in Campbell,
Bedford and Amherst counties, persons from each
of those counties coming into Lynchburg to as

Discharge of Ed. C.. Randolph,

We noticed last week that Ed. @. Randolph
had been arrested as prisoner of war and a
spy, and that Saturday had been appointed as
the day for introducing testimony to establish
that there was "probable cause" for his arrest
The trial was entered upon on Saturday and
concluded on Monday yesterday when the
prisoner was discharged. After his discharge,
the prisoner requested the Judge to administer
to him his oath of allegiance to Virginia or the
Southern Oonfederacy. The Judge told him it
was unnecessary as he had already taken that
oath in Bath county when he took the oath of
to the United States. ,sts@

That the result of our shots were as stated, my

The behavior of our men on this, as well as on
all occasions. was creditable in the main.
