:dent, is about ~ years of age. He was
born in Weston, Oneida county, y. Y, where

Terrible Powder Explosion at Hazard.
Vile.
EIGHT LIVES LOST.

Precisely at 3 o'clock Wednesday after
noon, five of the buildings used in the manu-
facture of powder by the Hazard company,
at HazardVille, Ct, exploded from some I'M
known cause. Seven of the workmen and
one teamster were instantly killed. Severe
damage was caused to the buildings in the
village, especially by window-glass breaking,
and the noise and jar of the explosions ex-
tended perceptibly over an area of 20 miles
or more, and were at first attributed to earth
quakes. The first explosion occurred in a
press building; and the cause of it will new
er be known, as all the men therein were in
stantly killed. The second explosion was of
another press building; the third, fourth and
fifth explosions were in cracker or corning
mills, and came so near together as to sound
like one report. The men killed were most
ly foreigners, having families, and their re-
mains were SO badly shattered and mutilated
as to defy recognition, except in the case OF
one who was bathing in the basement He
was found dead though apparently uninjur-
ed.
The building in which the first explosion
occurred was ian old settler" having stood
Tor twenty years, without damage, through
many former explosions. The loss of pow.
der and property are not so serious as to in.
terfere with the regular business of the COM
pany, which is now running on government,
orders. The cartridge works were uniniur.
ed. The lost buildings will be replaced as
soon as possible. The company has some =:
buildings left, including duplicates of al
those destroyed.

A Border State Call.

We have read nothing more suitable to
the crisis or more spirited than the following
call to arms, by the Louisville Journal
"Iet every citizen prefer his manhood,
and if necessary his life and his means to the
last farthins. Let there be no more half
way measures-no moie bitches, halts and
fents-in the prosecution Of this war to a
speedy and triumphant close. Let the gov
eminent require at once all that is necessa-
~, and let every man in this nation leap to
fill up the requisiton. Let 100000, and If
necessary as perhaps it will be, 100000 men
spring Immediately to arms Let one grand
national volunteer aid society be organized
throughout the country for the purpose of
giving all necessary protection and support
to the families of those who may voluntarily
relinquish all for their home staying neighbors,
and their country's good and let there be
in every precinct and community all immedi-
ate and most energetic, systematic and thor
ough organization and association for the
purpose Of putting its full quota in the field
without delay. Let merchants, jobbers,
bankers, capitalists. and all business men,
make and save their fortunes and their char
acters 10y coming at orce, universally to the
rescue. Let them consider well, now and
here, what will become of them all-their ac-
foundations, custom, and business prospects
If this war lie not successfully terminated
within twelve months. DO they not clearly
foresee common ruin and general bankrupt
cy? We say, with all the circumspectress
and confidence with which we are capable,
that by far the mos, profitable and produc-
tive as well c-edtable and praisworthy in
yestment of means for moneyed men this day
is in encouraging cnlistments, and pushing
the war right forward with increasing, ire
sislibe speed, directness, and momentum, to
It's earliest possible termination. All the
wise considerations that can appeal to the hu-
man mind, and all the great and grand and
good incentives that can touch the human
heart and thrill the human soul, call you this
day, fellow-citizens, in trumpet-tones, to &C
ton and to arms. Come, Kentucky. first
and foremost-tO the rescue-come.

ESome young men talk about luck. Good
luck is to get up at six o'clock in the morn
ing; good luck, if you had only shilling a
week, is to live upon eleven pence and save
penny; good luck is to trouble your heads
with your own businessman to let your neigh
boris alone good luck is to fll the command
ments, and do unto other people as we wish
them to do unto US. They must not plod but
persevere. Pence must be taken care of be-
cause they are the seeds of guineas.

~ 1t is every mans duty to vigorously
kick any person who is found to be guilty OF
hording silver or selling it to brokers, and i!
this duty is rightly performed, and if Con-

shall have no further trouble about scarcity

| Of whon hsGa eagstls psid auy price to obtain
anthracite in preference to. bituminous COAL
And this for an obvious reason. The steamer
burning bituminoua coal is vieible ct sea oven
whom on the very horison Its faring column
of smoke is seen evcn when tho hull of lhs
ship is beyond sight, Rhcreas the anthracite
coal shows no smoke whatever The differ
ence in fuel has therefore .pecomo distin.
gushing mark Of the American navy, which
uses the lister coal, while British and French
steamers use the former.
1t has been constant pcactic, Of the
privateers, and of such c,rtrabsGd vessels as
tho Ella Marley and other traders betwes
NASSAU, Charleston and Savannah, to lsy in q
sock Of anthracite at the British Islands, aud
thus add u most important aid to their means
of eludiDg Our er'l'Rera This game, it is no
Doubt the purpose government tG terminate.
Two, and perhaps more steamers, ladan with
arms and munitions for tha rebels, are on their
way from England, designing either 10 tram
ship their cargoes at Nassau, or to Iun- the
blockade. II is not the intention Of govern
ment to facilitate tLia Traffic by keeping up
the supplies of anthracite at accessible points.
IL is. on tho Contrary, the intention to draw the
li1s 10 sharply between national vessels on
the one hand, and rebal and foreign steam
ships on the other, that tue smoke pipe shall
decide whether doubtful vessel is entitled to
approsch or pass the blockade.
