INDIANAPOLIs, Sept II
An order was issued to-day from the General
Commissioners office, frOm which the fol-
lowing extracts are taken: asa
The returns are now all in, and the quotas Of
the several townships in each county will be for
warded 70 the Enrolling Commissioners Of the
several counties before the close Of the present
week if possible. Each township will thus be
be enabled TO ascertain its deficiency, and if that
is supplied by volunteers before the day fixed
for the draft, then there will be no draft IN that
township, and if the deficiency IS only partly
supplied BY volunteers, then the draft Will only
be made for the residue, according to data fur
nished by the General Government
The number TO be yet supplied by Indiana to
relieve her from drait is about G,100. VOlun-
teers will be received for twelve months, not
only to supply the deficiency Of 6,OOO, but in
equal numbers from the State at large will Be
received, making a total OF 1900. The draft
will take place on the sixth Of October next, in
every township in which any deficiency exists ct
that time.
Indiana has in the field and in camp over
5000 volunteers, and It is confidently believed
that no resort to draft will be necessary for the
small yet required to hll her compile
ment.
Passes to leave the State are no longer re,

PITTsBURG, September II.
A fHghtful explosion occurred at the United
States Arsenal this afternoon at o'clock, in a
'arge frHme building known as the laboratory.
About l7G boys and girls we're employed in the
building at the time Of the disaster, of whom IS
o. so we're killed.
One explosion followed another, until the en-
tire building was destroyed Those who could
not escape in time burned up. The scene was
most appalling. Dead bodies were lying in heaps
a. they had ALLEN. In some places, where the
heat was intense, the whitened bones could be
seen through the smoke and flame.
In other places large masses Of blackened
flesh are visible. Up 70 the present time sixty
three bodies have been taken from the ruins.
The cause Of the explosion is not known. Il is
admitted by all to be an accident.
