Terrible CoIIicry Explosion in England

NcrflDfci Coltlery Explosion IA England.
Onthe 9th ult. another collcry disaster occur.
red in England. Fifty-four miners were killed
by an explosion of free damp in the Edmunds
Main CoIliery, Worsbro' Dale, near Barnesley.
A charge of powder was fired between half
past seven and eight O'clock in the morning to
dislodge some coal About hnlf dozen men
were engaged at this spot, and the shot was
fired by Joseph Walton. The effect Of the shot
was to ignite quantity of gas which was dis
lodged by the explosion, to set fire to the seam
of coal, and to destroy portion of the brattices
which regulate the current of air through the
mine. iNH h'o- l.4
Those nearest the entrance were warned by
the sight OF the coal on fire TO hurry to the shaft
Five got TO the shaft, and declared that they
were the only ones from that locality who es-
capped. One Of them, who had nine hundred
yards to run, felt the approach of the insdious
choke-danip and stuffed his cap in his mouth to
prevent suftocation by the gas. As he ran he
stumbled over a score of bodies Of dead and dy-
ing men whom the gas had already reached
The main body of the miners. TO whom no mer-
ciful message telling that imminent danger ex-
listed had been sent, first knew their danger by
the oncoming Of the stealthy choke-damp. All
who could hasiened to the shaft, and were rais-
ed to the surface as rapidly as possible.
1t is said that among the first TO ascend was
an old man, Wesleyan who, before he left
home in the morning, had told his sons that he
felt presentiment of an approaching calamity.
After engaging in family worship he said.
{" Lads, don't feel easy yet; let's ask the Lord
again to protect us" They bent their knees in
prayer again and then proceeded to their work
They had not been in the mine very long when
one ofthe sons ran to the old man, who worked
near the shaft and said, "Father there's wall of
smoke coming up the pit" The experienced
miner knew the sign, and leaving alltheir clothes
except the trowsers in which they worked, the
father and his sons got on the Grove OF eonls
about to ascend the silaft, and were the first to
give the Information Of the explosion. Many
times the cages were lowered and raised with
living freight to the intense joy of the women,
whom the speedy rumor ofthe explosion brought
to the spot, and who recognized their husbands
and sons in the saved. Irt
| Shortly before o'clock the last attempt was
made to explore the mine The party descend
ed to within ten yards Of the bottom of the
SHAFT, when they found so much heat and SO
great quantity Of choke damp that they wero
compelled to give the signal to be raised. The
unsuccessful result ofthis experiment establish
ed the fact that all the men remaining in the
pit were dead, as suffocniicn speedily ensues
where the choke-damp Penetrates.

The Presidents Message.

We regret that we did not receive the
Presidents Message in seas on for this
paper. 1t is brief, sensible, practical
document. 1t gives clear and cheering
statement of our foreign relations, and
of the progress made in subduing the
Rebellion. The President announces his
belief that the Emancipation Proclama-
ton has been of great service to the Ma
tiOnai cause, both at home and abroad.
and his determination to uphold it unless
it is set aside by decision of the Supreme
Court,
The President also submits Procla-
nation with reference to the people in
the Rebel States, offering pardon to all,
except certain designated classes among
the leaders, who shall take an oath of al
legiance. such as he prescribes. The plan
seems to be fair and feasible one.
The Message and Proclamation will
command universal attention, and will,
we believe, give the country renewed
confidence in the ability and discretion Of
ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
