Gen Sheridan's Administration

WASHINGTON, April 5.-General Sheridan
has not yet sent report to the President OF
the causes that induced him to remove MesSrs
Heron, Monroe and Abel, at Now Orleans,
nor has he asked any Instructions about his
action under the reconstruction acts. The
Secretary Of War to-day laid before the Pres-
dent a copy Of correspondence between General
Sheridan and General Grant, respectively, of
the I'd and Sd instant.
General Sheridan says that General Griffin
Of Texas, recommends The deposition or re-
movaI Of. Governor ThrocEmoron, Of that
STATE that he (Sheridan) agrees with Griffin.
Sheridan thinks he will have TO remove the
Governor of Louisiana. He further says he
will commence the work of registration as soon
as he receives certified copy OF the law that
he (Sheridan) feels himself equal to the task
imposed upon him by the law, and will per
form his work with credit to The military
Gen. Sheridan concludes by saying IF shall
make bnt few removals. Gen. Grant replies
that it would not be proper to remove Govern
ors that the subject is now under considera
ton, and it il not believed that military com
manders have the power, and removals can
only be made by the act Of Congress or by trial
under the sixth section of the law.

EXPLOSION AT CLOVER HILL COAL
- PITS, VIRGINIA.

Yesterday we published brlet account OF
terrible explosion and loss Of life at the Bright
Hope pit, Glover Hill Since then We have
obtained the following additional particulars OF
this awful catastrophe, which has hurried to
their graves at least eighty human beings
thirty white men and about fifty blacks who
we're engaged at work in the pit at the time,
besides large number of mules. r.
All the facts that have come to hand are
contained in the following extracts iron letters
received yesterday by Mr. D. 5. Wo3ildldge,
coal merchant, from Mr.. James II. Cox,
Superintendent at the pit
IAN exnlosion occurred at he Bright Hope
Pit to-day at RI O'Clock ?. NJ. The extent OF
damage to the pit. and the loss Of lite Is not
yet ascertained, but il is believed the INJURY 10
the property is slight; II 10, however lcared
that the loss Of life is considerable. We are
nov ready TO descend the pit 10 learn all the
particulars We have not had time OF course
to investigate the cause Of the calamity, but
present indications 60 to show that 1t was
caused by the imprudence or drunken gas
man. .....
The above was received in the morning, and
about 9 O. clock in the evening the annexed
ing particulars, was received:
Glover HILL, April 4, 1867,
9 o'clock a. NJ.
D. s. WooNchdge, Esq: ..
Dear Sir-Whcn The pit bottom Was reached
last evening it was ascertaincd that the lumber
house in the pit, which contained some powder,
was on fire. [ endeavored to get the men to
put it out, which no doubt could have been
accomplished, but the men feared the danger
of another explosion, and we're unwilling to
work The pit has been again examined this
morning, and the fire is SO small that 1t could
be managed if the men were willing to risk
the danger Under all Of the circumstances,
have determined to save the pit ny closing
both shafts We are now engaged in this
work. All the men, about seventy IN number,
and all the mules that were down III the PIT,
are of course lost The bodies cannot be re
covered unii the fire is eXtmgulshed and The
pit reorrrei. Respectfully, }. II. Cox.
Tho Board Of Directors OF the Glover Hill
Company went Mp this morning to The pits,
the eurlieSL pracl cable moment after the receipt
Of the distressing intelligence OF the unhappy
occurrence.
1t is terrible TO contemplate the cruel neceS-
sily that forced the closing Of the shafts, aud
that prevented any further effort being made
TO rescue amy Ui the victims who mig int possibly
be alive but, doubtless, all was done that
could be accomplished in their behalf and,
besides, there was scarcely I hope entertained
