Dupont Powder MILLS Explosion.

Dupont Powder MILLS Explosion.
The explosion of the Dupont Mills at
Wilmington, Delaware, on the 18th inst,
was the most, terrific and destructive of
life that has taken place for some years.
Three of the mills engaged in making
Government powder were blown to atoms.
Other buildings were very much injured,
and ten men were instantly killed, being
torn to fragments. An account says:
1t may be cited as evidence of the terrible
force of the explosion, that great heavy beams
were lifted up like rushes into the air, Whirled
distances of over 800 feet, and imbedded 90
deep in the ground, frozen hard as flint, as to
stand firmly on end. Great hollows were
scOoped in the ground by the mere conclusion
seemingly, and timbers scattered in profusion
over the fields around. Not vestige of some
OF the exploded mills remained, save the foun-
dalton walls and SCARED EARTH The heat gen.
Grated by the sudden ignition of such large
quantity OF powder was so sudden and intense
as to char great trees in twinkling-the moist
green bark burning readily as finder, but ceas-
ing to burn when the last rumble of the roar
Of the explosion had died away. The windows
in the surrounding country were, of course,
damaged much. In Christ Church (Episcopall
every pane was crumbled, and in the house of
Mrs. Alexis Dupont, which is situated one hum
dred and fifty feet from the scene of the disas-
ter, the glass was shattered 80 violently that
some OF the family were cut by the flying frag-
mems. The house was shaken from roof to
foundation and seriously damaged.

follows:
If have not been able to do for the loyal
people of the State all desired in securing
them from invasion by a combined campaign
against the enemy west of the Mississippi nor,
failing in this, to retain the necessary troops
at home to put an end to three years of most
barbarous guerilla warfare, trust that in what
have done to raise troops, organize citizen
guards, establish system in administration of
martial law, defeat secret conspiracies against
the State and nation, secure outside help, Or
ganize and direct our own forces, save our own
main depots and most Of the State from the
hands of formidable politco-plundering and
recruiting invasion, and bring that invasion to
nought, while it gave. triumph to the loyal
people in the late elections, / have done them
and the nation. some good. And in parting
they have my best wishes, hopes and congrat.
ulations in the suspicious signs which already
appear for their future greatness, founded on
the broad principles of justice, humanity and
freedom, without distinction of creed, color or

shooting OF Bounty Jumpers at
Indianapolis.

A correspondent gives the following de-
scription of the execution of bounty Jump
ers and deserters at Indianapolis recently:
In accordance with the sentence of a court
martial, Chas. Billingley, of the 9TH Indiana
battery, Thomas Ryan, of the 51st infantry
and John Murray, of the It'll cavalry, were
shot to death at Camp Burnside, about o'clock
tnis afternoon. (Dec. 23d,) for the crimes of
bounty jumping and desertion. The conduct
W Inc whole affair was placed in charge OF
C0l. a. a. Stevens, 9Th Veteran Reserve Corps,
VINO 10 entitled to great credit for the decorum
proceedings.
Inc troops in and around the city were all
present, numbering about 1000 men, compris-
ing Ine 9th, l4th and 18th Regiments of the
their stats, Coils. Warner and Stearns and many
OF our citizens were present. The prisoners
were marched once around the square formed
by the troops to the north side, and after heino
Invested Of their coats, their feet were fastened
together, and each man was made to sit down
upon bis coffin. A detail of thirty.six men,
under MAJOR Gazzum, with reserve of TWEEN.
ty-four more, were elected to carry the sen.
tence into execution. The unfortunate men
were attended by Father Bessoine, of St. Johns
Catholic Church, and the religious rites of the
church were administered in very impressive
manner.
The prisoners remained, to all appearance.
infexible and unmoved to the last, though
the awful preparations going on around them
brought tears to many eyes. The order to fire
was given, and the rifles of the guard cracked
all as one, and the men fell. Two of them
Murray and Ryan, were killed outright. BIZ
lingsley, not being found dead, on examina.
ton by Surgeon Kipp, guard of four from
the reserve were ordered up, one of whom dis
charged his musket at the prisoners breast
ending his sufferings instantly. The bodies
were placed in collins and delivered to Father
Bessoine, who acted for the relatives of the de-
ceased, and they were inferred in the Catholic
cemetery.
Col. Warner received telegram at o'clock
this morning, from President Lincoln, reprisv-
ing Doyle for ten days. He was not, therefore,
made to suffer with the rest.
Some thirty bounty jumpers, now in Gus
tody. were brought up under guard and made
to witness the miserable fate of their fellow
criminals. The lesson was sad, bat probably
q thorough one.

Bad Men In 0mce.

We clip the following article from the
New York Tribune, and heartily endorse
its sentiments. The article in the Chicago
Journal to which the Tribune refers, was
undoubtedly intended to describe the char
acter of Ex-Gov. DICK YATES, the most
drunken and proAigate politician in the
State of Illinois, but who is unfortunately
the choice of many for United States SEN
ator at the ensuing session of the legisla-
ture Of that State. But the Tribune arti-
Gle has general application, and should
be well pondered by respectable men of
all parties. The Tribune says:
BAD MEN IN OFFICE.
The Ecensng Journal (Chicago) has leader

covert attack on some candidate in that State;
yet we can see nothing in it that points to any
individual, unless 1t be some one already made

But, whatever may be its impulse, the article
itself is right and its sentiments should be every.

The Letter Of Muller,s Father.

100 AeStef OF mQ1lofs0 Eothe1s
The letter written by AuI1za, the re-
Gently executed murderer, to his father,
asking the paternal blessing, has been
published. The reply, which reached
MULLER two days before his execution,
was very brief, and was worded as follows {:
Unhappy Son: We received your letter on
the 9Th Of November, but alas! how deeply
have you fallen. You ask % to forgive you:
we do forgive You, and if you are guilty may
God forgive you also. If you are innocent
may God tighten your last hours. I must con-
clude, for my thoughts fail me. God be with
You. Amen. YouR UNHAPPY FATHER.
Langen Dembach, Nov.9
The extreme brevity Of the letter, in
comparison with the length of that of the
son to which it was reply, and its general
tone, produced an impression on the minds
of the sherifs and the authorities at New
gate at the time that the convict had failed
to convince bis father of his innocence.

TIE New Haven Register quotes the
following remarkable assertion from an
other paper: ..
The gold seized by Gen. Butler in New
Orleans, over which so much fuss was
made, was distributed for the relief of
Louisiana women and children, in accord
ance with instructions.
And pointedly says:
This is the best dodge yet invente :, A
little while ago it was authoritativeiJ as
serted by his organs that it had been de-
posted in the treasury; but when the fall.
