to powder, close by the mouth of tho
well. Some "a were wounded.
At the time Of the explosion, every,
thing in the ncighborhood-sixtv OF
seventy rods-took fire. and shantics
derricks, engine.houscs, and dwellings,
were at once involved in flames. The
boiler of Dobb's well, so rods from
the original fire, blew up with a trc.
mcndous explosion, killing instantly
the engineer, Wesley Skinner, adding
another intensity to the evenings hor-
rors. At this time the air was on fire.
The jet of oil rushing up forty feet
was almost a pillar of livid flame,
while the gas above it to the distance
of hundred feet, was lashing, cx-
ploding, dashing toward the heavens,
apparently licking the clouds with it's
furious tongues of heat. All this time
during this tremendous combustion,
the sounds of the explosions and burn
inGs were so tremendous and continu-
Gus, that they could be compared TO
nothing but the rushing of a hurri-
cane or tornado through a forest. The
heat of the fire was so intense that no
one could approach within $50 feet
without scorching their skin or gar
ments. 1t was the most frightful.
and yet, the grandest pyrotechnical
display ever vouchsafed to human
being.
On Friday morning the oil was still
rushing up, on fire, with the same
regularity and speed, throwing, it was
calculated, at least 100 barrels an
hour, covering an immense space
with flaming ola loss to the propri-
ctors of the well of $4,000 daily.
No human poweN can extingnish the
fiamcs, and the oil must burn on until
the we'll is exhausted. No pen can
describe its ficrccncss-no tongue
describe the magnitude of its horrors.
The following wells with machinery
were burned, with the accompanying
estimated loss of oil
Wadsworth's well, 800 barrels daily.
Dobbs' well, 26O barrels daily.
V. Anderson's well, 100 bbls. daily.
L. Morian's well, $50 barrels daily.

THE IOWA SOLDIERS WIFE.
ny CHARLES A. BARNEY.

One parting kiss the time has come,
That sewers thee and me
hear the rolling of the drum,
The Stars and Stripes l see
My heart leaps up; I catch the cry
OF frecmcn old and young:
Away God speed you do, or die!
De first our foes among!
The Hawkcye State will fondly keep
Her heroes in her sight;
Away ;! let slaves and towards weep;
De bravest in the fight
Uphold our flag, its Sumpter stain
Avengc with Titan blows
Smite down to earth, with lea,lcn rain,
Columbia's brutal foes
mourn not Richard that lose
The star of all my life;
Go; and remember that choose
To be soldiers wife.
I'll teach our boy, :. il thou shouldst fall ;
The greatness of thy fate
Thy name shall he his :" all in ALL
Thy grave his best estate.
I'll twine around his golden hair
The laurel thou mayst earn;
And battle cry. and martial air,
Our darling boy shall learn.
The gildcd eagle on thy breast
Against his heart I'll bind,
The crimson sash that keeps thy vest
Around his waist / II wind.
And then I'll tell him how you went
All grandly to the strife;
All, Richard, I was surely meant
To be soldier wife.
Fear not for us 4; as strong as oak
The arms you gently feel
Last night prayed; ere morning broke,
My heart was changed to steel
Go-welcome any shape of death
BE my ambition thine!
Fight bravely-every trumpct's breath
Proclaims this wish of mine.
Fight bravely, Richard! fight for me;
Fight bravcly, repeat
Sustain the flag or let it be
My husbands winding sheet.

For the st. Charles City Inteligcn,
WHY SHOULD WEEP?
BY MISS 4. j. COLE.

BY MISS Il. J. COLE.
why should ! weep? the gentle tear
Dispels the clouds so dark and drear
Which DER my being lie;
As the bright dcw-drop to the flower
That bows beneath its gentle power,
Then mcckly points ON high
Thus the bright tear-drop often flows
And lessons the dark cloud of woes
And makes the burden light;
OFT will the spirit gaze on high,
Gained by the heartfelt fearful sigh,
Stronger in Jesus might.
Why should weep this sinful heart
OFT from my Savior doth depart
And grovcl in the dust,
Piercing again his bleeding side,
Who for II rebel world has died,
Forgetting all my trust.
Why should l weep our Savior went,
Beside the grave where Lazarus slept,
And Gained the loved ones fears
His wondrous power he there makes know
The seed in tears of sorrow sown,
In life and joy appears.
Should we not weep when Jesus went
AS never mortal eyes could weep
Der ruined, fallen man
Yes, let us weep and humbly pray.
Securely tracing the bright way,
Up to that blood-washed band.

Virginia.

Oh, Virginia that was, the mother
of Presidents and States, the admired
of all admirers !! Alas ! Virginia that
is, in her maternal throes, instead Of
statesmen, ushering dwarfs and pig
mics into the light of existence, who
tug at her exhausted pap until she is
reduced to hopeless inanition in
stead of being the mother of States,
she cannot sustain her own indepen-
dence and dignity, but voluntarily
lashes herself by the skin of rattle
snake to the tail of South Carolina, to
be drifted through the mire of treason
and all its concomitant crimes, whith-
crsoever madness or depravity shall
lead her. Alas p! How are the mi ghty
fallen Fire Democrat.
