The CONCERT OF THE OLD FoLKs.-We were
gratifed to see Naughtons Hall well filled and
packed lAet night BY an admiring and delighted
audience. We we're gratifed at the sight, be-
cause we know Of no entertainments that go
agreeably unite innocent amusement and saluta-
~ instruction as these concerts of the Old
Folks We were, therefore, pleased to see last
night, by the smiling looks and the frequent
plaudts Of the audience, that our community
knows how to appreciate genuine merit, espe-
cially where novelty, amusement, instruction
and artistic skill, are happily blended as they
are by the Cd Folks.
The entertainment last evening was to our
mind even more pleasing than that OF the frst
night, and was we'll splced with the amusing
and eccentric characteristics of the singing of
the olden time, which excited the audience to
frequent and hearty applause. The soloists
acquitted themselves with great credit; the
chorusses were sung with admirable precision
and effect, and, in fact, the entire performance
passed of with an eolat such as We have sell
dom Witnessed.
Success to "Father Gulick" and bis troupe!
We intend to pay our respects to him nightly
during his sojourn in our city, and we advice
all our friends to do the same.

The building, which belonged to Mr.. Jack.

feet square, standing on hundred foot lot.
Mr. Jackson was engaged In filling an order
for Colts revolver cartridge for the United
States Government, and had about fifty girls
and tWenty-fO men working for him.
The cause of the explosion is yet unexplained.
It's effects we're terrible. The edIfice was scat
tered in ruins; at least four or five of the work
people were killed instantly, and two or three
of them were blown to minute fragments. The
adjacent property also suffered. Nearly every
window pane for q square around WAS broken,
fences were demolished and fragments Of hu-
man flesh were flung on top Of high roofs and
smeared over the walls A head, probably
that of man, was blown nearly square up
town, landing in Ellsworth street. A police.
man gathered up nearly barrel full OF arms,
entrails, legs and other pieces of bodies, just
after the explosion. One or two females were
blown Into Tenth street, with their clothes all

" rendered all the aid possible, and the ruins
were examined at onoe. The dead and wound

Four or Ave Of the employees we're In

THr rebels, there Is every reason to believe
are concentrating an immense army in the
southwest. Il 10 said their new line extends
from Decatur. Alabama, to Island No. 10 on
the Mississippi, and that they can marshal all
their forces On any part Of the line which may
be menaced. A correspondent Of the Louis
vile Journal estimates the rebel army under
BEAunrsARD at two hundred Thousand men, but
this is probably an exaggeratiOn. General
BAloe is with BEAUREaARD, with small army
Of trained arsillerists from Pensacola, and 1t Is

LAST NIGHTS DISPATCHES.

WAsHINeToN, Sept. 6.-The arrest of
struggling officers continues daily and
nightly. In the last 4s hours several hun
dred have been secured and brought be-
fore the Provost Marshal in disgrace, and
sent to their respective regiments under
arrest.
A prisoner who has just arrived from
Frederick direct, states that on Monday, af-
ter our evacuation, many of the inhabitants
who had purchased boots and shoes from
suffers, ostensibly for their own uset pack
ed them into wagons and sent them off to
the rebel soldiers. 1t is believed they sent
away large quantities of much needed sup
plies of this description to the rebel army.
A fine colored man, a drayman. was ar
rested and summarily hung by the oonfed-
crates, at fredericksburg, for carting artt-
cles for contrabands.
Mr.. a. NJ. Pierce, General Superinten-
dent of the Hospital corps Of male nurses,
has ordered no more nurses to be enlisted
for hospital purposes, the large number OF
citizen nurses who have generously offered
their services to meet the emergency hav-
ing proved sufficient.
When the train of wounded from the late
battle field reached Alexandria last night,
they were halted at the camp Of the seth
Massachusetts, regiment, aud generously
provided with hot coffee and bread, which
was gratefully appreciated by tie wounded,
who hak ridden through the hot sun. The
regiment that performed this act of gem
erosity, is among the new troops which
arrived.

HARRISBURG, Sept. I've understand
arrangements are being made to forward
to the Cumberland Valley all the troops
now here in camp aud other regiments
from New York and the East that have ar
rived and are detained here for that pur-
pose. II an attempt should be made to
invade Pennsylvania, warm reception
will await them. The citizens are organ
iziDg themselves into companies. Under
the Governors proclamation they are not
required TO clothe or equip themselves.
Arms will be promptly furnished.
The Governor has messengers extended
all along the border of our State, and is in
constant communication. He has received
intelligence that the rebels have crossed the
Potomac at or near Point OF Rocks, anG
now occupy Frederick, Nd. Their pickets
extend nine miles towards HageFs:own
They possessed themselves of all the shoes
clothing, &c. in the stores at Frederick
paying for the same in Confederate scrip
The rebels say they are going to Balti-
more.
The telegraph operator remains at Ha.
GerstOWn, but says he cannot hold the
office much longer. Nearly all the Union
men have left the place.
Our people should awaken to the fact
that invasion is imminent. Although Gov
Curtin is doing all iG his power, his hope
for the future is based entirely upon the
prompt response of our citizens when
called upon to march.
