Blown 40 AToMs.-rhe City of Mad
ison, a Cincinnati steamer, while being
loaded with ammunition at Vlcksburg,
and had received nearly her full load,
when a negro, carrying percussion shell
on board, let the same fall from his
hands on to the deck, and an explosion
ensued. The boat took fire, and almost
instantly the fire spread TO the ammuni.
ton, and the most terrible explosion fol.
lowed that was ever known. The steam
err was shivered Into thousands Of atoms,
and pieces OF the machinery, woodwork
and human beings, were thrown high
into the air. Out Of one hundred and
sixty men on board, only four escaped
instant death. This is the most terrible
accident that has taken place on our
Western waters for many years. The
City OF Madison was about four years
old, ami owned by Capt j Stout Neal, OF

NEW YORK, August 28.--A uerald's
special says The first interview between
Gen. Meredith, recently appointed Com
missioner OF Exchange, and Mr., Ould,
rebel Commissioner, took place at City
Point, on the 23d.
Some points in dispute were arranged,
and arrangements for the exchange of
paroled prisoners was not completed, but
negotiations are still in progress.
The Imprisonment Of John Morgan
and his officers in the Ohio penitentiary
has brought the rebel authorities 10
terms; and it has been agreed that Col.
Straight and the officers of his command,
who have been so long similarly i'm
prisoned, shall be placed on footing
with other prisoners Of war.
This will probably be responded TO by
the restoration of Morgan and his off i

b. LAST NIGHTS NAIL.
From the Potion C Army.

Adviccs from the army of the Potomac
say that large numbers Of horses have
been found in the mountain gorges and
appropriated by our troops.
Our cavalry held the line of the Rap
pahannock on Saturday between Kellys
Ford ard Waterloo
The Washington Star says:
On Thursday last, while the Sd and
9th army corps of Meade's army were
living at the mouth of Manassas Gap, on
this side, information was received that
Longstreet was sending brigade of his
corps forward in order to possess himself
of the Gap
General Spinola, commanding the Ex-
celsior Brigade, with 500 men, was at
once ordered forward The command
ing General supposed that the rebels
were only in small force on and behind
the crest of hill, about one mile from
the Gap, between it and Front Royal,
and therefore supposed that this brigade
was sufficient to dislodge the enemy.
About IA quarter of a mile from the
crest of the hill was a stone wall, and
behind this there was small rebel force.
Gen. Spinola at once took an observation
of the ground, and, after pointing out to
his regimental commanders the work
they would have to perform, he ordered
his gallant brigade forward, and with
bayonets fixed they rushed forward, when
the rebels quickly fed from the hill, and
took refuge behind the stone wall. Up
to this the brigade rushed also, when
from behind it arose a whole brigade of
Georgiaus and two regimentsSof North
Carolina sharp shooters, all under com
mand of Gen Anderson. But our troops
needed them not, and amid u shower of
rifle bullets and an artillery fire in front
and on our flank, pushed forward, and
with the bayonet drove the rebels from
their protection, and sert them scamper-
ing over the field The rebel loss was
not less than 500 killed, wounded and
missing We had no artillery, while the
rebels had at least seventeen pieces.
That night our soldiers bivouacked on
the battle-ground, and the rext morning
marched into Front Royal In this fight
it is the opinion of military men that the
rebels outnumbered us at least two to
one, b1t they appeared tagged out, and
after being dislodged from the stone wall
they could not move up hill on their
way, in an upright position, but crawled
on their hands and knees, thus giving
our men an opportunity Of pouring in a n
effective fire, of which they eagerly
awaited themselves.
In this fight General Spinola received
two very severe wounds, one in the right
foot, which tore open the heel for two
or three inches, and one through the
heshy part of his ride side.

which to transact business. When the

their places supplied with substantial

would rent readily and at good figures,

MAJOR MCCOoK-A strange and mel
oncholy coincidence has been noted in
the history Of Major McCook's family
and their connection with the war for the
Union. His youngest son, Charles, was
killed on the Dist day of July, 1861, at
the battle of Bull Run; another SON
Colonel Robert McCook-was killed on
the Dist Of July, 1862, in Middle .Tennes-
see; and on the 2lst of July, 1868, the
father, Major Daniel McCook, died of
wounds received in battle for his country
two days before.
Nor is it less remarkable that all three
were shot in the abdomen, and in nearly
the same part of the abdomen.
There are yet four sons living, three of
whom are now in the army of the Cum
berland-Majo General Alex. Mcdowell
McCook, commanding the Doth army
corps; Daniel McCook, Colonel of the
% Indiana cavalry; and Edward Nc
-Cank- Cnlnnal of q m
George, the eldest, the well-known
lawyer, likewise rendered good service
