From PErERSRURG.

Our regular informant, who visits our lines in
front Of Petersburg daily, in prosecuting the
duties of his position, says that yesterday all was
ogan quiet. Although he conversed with many
OF our men and officers in reference to the CNpo-
sion noticed by us in Yesterdays ISSUE he was
unable to gather nythiug additional. IL there
fore Sill remains among the unexplained mys-
teries OF the war. The ,dltor of the Express, the
evening before, was equally unsuccessful in his
efforts to unrayel 1t.
After taking long walk along our lines in
quest of an explanation, he says the explosion as
near as could be Judged BY those who heard
and saw il, occurred some distance in the rear of
the Yankee lines, rather to the left of Blttery
No. 5, and TO the right of Battery No. 8, on or
near The City Point road. Ii is represented to
have been terrific in It's proportions as the volume
of sn oke was immense, and ascended u gres.
height, the flash very brilliant, and the shock
great. The cause of the explosion is, of course,
unexplained, and 1t can only be coujactured
whether il was intentional or not. The reports
continued for several seconds.
In addition TO the explanations OF the explosion
which We have already given the Express says
that some think that Grant was blowing up his
inner folthc.ltions preparatory 10 leaving. We
dont believe ii, because it is not pre- blble. Now,
who knows, on The other hand, but that Ulysses
has been taking powder in his whisky 20 make
himself warlike and having though ossly taken
into his over-charged stomach Il quantity OF
Cayenne pepper as continent, has accidentally
eNp'oded. Strange things are recorded In very
good books.
The Express learns that the Court of Inquiry to
investigate the uses of The late disaster to the
Yankee arms in front Of Petersburg has been
convened, and is in session at City Point. Major
General Hancock is President OF the Court. OF
course somebody will be made the sclpegoat.
viii it be Burnside
Between D and O'Clock on Tuesday afternoon,
8 me activity seemed TO prevail on the centre.
Picket firing increased to much heavier degree
than usual, and n very lively sheIling was in pro-
press for the space of an hour. Towards dark,
however, everything became quiet.
AN APPROPRIATE INSCRIPTION.
A curious correspondent wishes 10 know If the
Yankee regiments which He'd 10 the rear after the
recent "disastrous fanre" near Petersburg will
have "MiRe Run" inscribed upon their banners,
as did those regiments which crossed the Rapidan
one day last fall, marched to Mine Run, got
whipped, and returned 10 the north side of the
river as soon us possible.

PROM CHARLESrO TON.

We have news from Charleston TO the three
hundred aud ninety fourth day of the shelling.
There is nothing new or interesting, however.
They are still battering away at defiant Sumter,
the unparalleled defense OF which will stand in
history in contrast with the cowardly surrender
OF Fort Gaines, rs the unpurchasable patriotism
OF Joseph Reed now does with the damnng
treachery of Benedict Arnold.
The Courier says that during the twenty -four
hours ending Friday night, three hundred and
thirty-siX shots we're fired at Fort Sumter, fifty
seven at the city, and thirty nine from Battery
Gregg, at Sulliyan's Island.
The gunboat PatoRee left StOno, and came in
side the bar on Friday afternoon, and anchored
near The flagship. No other change.
The good people of Carolina are sending
melons, fruits, and vegetables to the gallant de-
tenders Cf Fort Sumter and the hospitals of the
city. Let our people continue to initiate their
example, and send our sick and wounded in the
Richmond hospitals bountiful supplies Of these
healthy and necessary articles of food
The Yankees around Charleston failed 10 o.

beBburg to levy contribution sf 100000 to

of their houses, burnt two weeks since by Hun

was fired, and two hundred and hfiy-four houses
burnt This may open their eyes 10 the fact tha
two can play at this game. 1t was a sad alterna-
tive, but nothing else was left u.s.
To quietly submit TO the one-sidcd game longer
would have been cowaTdice. Winchester may
pay the penalty. If so, Harrisburg must come
next and all the thriving towns and fine barns
along the border. In one day we can destroy
more than they can in month. We have few or

already partially destroyed, whilst the entire
