TERRIBLE ExpLosToN-Y esterday, at
q few minutes to two O'Clock, p. M; an ex-
plosiou occurred at the Powder Works a
short distance above the city, resulting in
the death Of eight employees and the des-
truotion fthe Granulating House, which
was the'immediate scene Of the accident.
The quantity Of powder exploded was,
We learn, very close in the neighborhood Of
5000 lbs, and, had it not been that the
building was light and frail CONSTRUCTIVE,
the, damage would have been immensely
greater. As it was all but one Of those en-
ployed at the time were blown into frag-
ments, portions Of some Of the bodies It is
stated being hurled to the distance Of over
a!hundred yards. The names of the unfor-
tunate victims are as follows: Tom Ford,
Foreman; James Heath, James Shields,
Thomas Reese, Benjamin Scarboro, Brant.

soldier employed as guard. This latter
was the only ODE not instantly killed and
even'he, though living some ten minutes
after the explosion, was unable to givean
information as to the cause Of the sad dis
aster. From the fact that match box was
found in the debris, it is supposed thatsome
matches, contrary to express orders, had
been conveyed into the building
