second disaster spread like lightning,
and hundreds of the friends and rela-
tives of the poor creatures in the pit
were quickly on the spot. The scene of
Wednesday was again renewed. The
poor women could be met on the road
TO the colliery fainting with excessive
grief, while others were seen tearing
their hair, apparently wild with ex-
element. The scene in the neighbor-
hood of the colliery was truly heart

THIRD ExPIos1oS.

At A. NJ. the pit exploded again,
killing all the volunteers who were
searching for the dead. Happily the
foulness of the pit had been SO great
previously that about ten minutes to
nine all the searchers, to the number of
sixteen, came back. When they did so
they were accused of cowardice by
the men who were waiting to descend,
and these latter at once went down to
continue the search. They had not
been IN the pit many minutes when it
fired, the crash of the explosion being
distinctly heard at places nearly mile
distant

lost was about four hundred and fifty.

GAIN OF FOURTEEN CoNaREssMEN.-lt Is fair
question for the Radicals to consider how long
they could retain their majority, even in the Rump
Congress- if all the States should follow The exam
ples Of the last two in which Congressional cleo
tions have been held Connecticut and Kentucky.
In those States there is the extraordinary and un-
precedented change of fourteen Congressman
against them. If Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York
and the other great States were now to elect the
entire politi ,al composition Of the House Of Rep
resentatives would undoubtedly be changed.
Gin. Enquirer.
We find the foregoing statement going the
rounds Of the Southern press. The Cincinnati
Enquirer ought to know that no good can result
from such delusons as it is calculated to produce
It ought to know that parties have been closely
balanced in onnecticut-formerly Democratic
stronghold-and that victory has alternated dur
ing the last five years between the opposing par
ties by very small majorities and that in the last
election the democrats needed gain of but five
hundred votes to enatle them to carry the State.
1T ought to know that the cause which would
operate to give the anti-radical party victory in
the Southern States of Kentucky, would have an
effect directly the reverse In the Northern States.
It imposes upon popular credulity and creates
hopes upon hollow basis when it talks about
what would happen in Ohio and New York if cleo
tions we're now to be held in these States. 1t has
been but few weeks since all election took place
In New York when but little over half of the votes
in the State were cast, and the Republican
majority was twenty thousand. AS for Ohio, we
NAV infer what would be the result of an election
in that State from the fact that in Cincinnati re-
Gently, tho Radicals elected their Mayor by four
thousand majority.
There may be changein the tide of public SEN
tment in the North at some future day. but it will
not be in time to reverse the DEGREES of the present
Congress, which has term of two years to run.

FmE.-Between the hours of u and O'Clock on
Monday morning the elegant and commodious re-
sidence Of Col w. A. Harris was discovered TO pc
on fire. The alarm was sounded, but before the
Are department conld reach there, the mansion
was enveloped in flames. The house and furni-
ture, together with fine private library, were de-
troyed; only few articles Of furniture and one or
tMopaintings saved. -
The fire was undoubtedly caused by an act OF In
cendiasism, as the family Of Col: Harris has been
absent for two or three months, during which
time no fires have been hndled in the house. we
understand that the incendiarys torch was applied
to three diterenta localities in the building, and
this accounts for itsrapid destruction. Col Harris
slept in an Office on the premises, and was only
awsked to find his beautiful residence pile OF
burnine ruins. He had fine private library, be-
sides works of art, family portraits, 60, winch
were all destroyed. 80. -,
We learn that an attempt was made some two
or three months ago to fire this residenca but was
frustrated by the discovery Of the combustlbles IN
the basement Of the building. Since then pretty
strict watch has been kept up, but at the time OF
the fire no policemen were In the vicinity. Mr;
Harris was insured for about s14 600, which would
scarcely cover the cost OF the building The reed'
men, We Iealp, were prominently conspicuous IN
trying to save the property. We REFER 10 tne caro-
of MIR. Harris in another column.
There were other buildings in the vicinity which
were endangered, but were saved by personal ex-
ertions Of fremen and citizens.-Ca. .PhHntr.

The Cotton Trade.


The New York Shipping and Commercial List of
the 18th inst, publishes the following in reference
to the Cotton trade
Such English authorities as are noted for keep
ing careful and precise accounts OF the movements
of Cotton together with the future prospects OF the
trade are unanimous in the opinion that Cotton
has about touched bottom; that the point has been
reached at which consumers, in England and on the
Continent, can buy freely and work to moderate
profit. and hence, that there is now legitimate
foundation for healthy business. On the other
hand supply is 80 ample $50 900 bales ofal kinds

with the stock kept pretty full till late in the Au

place aside from the possible widening Of the mar

American. The arrivals of Egyptian cotton at Liy-
CROP has turned out much less than was expected,
the import to June 1st showing the trifing in
crease of 5000 bales over that of last year. Owing to
this Disappointing result, an advance in this
kind Of 1sd.@5d. from the lowest point
had been established, while Brazil and In

hunger and is short Of powder, while all the pro

GENERAL ORDERS No. 25.l
It appears from sundry petitions and official repre-
sentaons that the present scany supply Of food In the
Carolnas is seriously diminished BY the large quantity
of grain consumed in numerous dtshleres put up and
worked in defiance OF the revenue laws OF the United
States it is reprcs ned that few or none OF the require
ments of law are observed in any Of these esabshments
that the officers the internal revenue service while
endeavoring to and collect the whiskey taI are
frequently treated with dissespect, and sometimes
menaced with violence; and that when offenders are
prosecuted in the civil courts, and violations of the in
terna laws indisputaby proved uries ail to
convict the parties it is further shown that this un-
lawful traffic makes food dearer in places where large
numbers are depending upon public and private bounty
that tho Government is, esdes, defrauded OF large
amount of revenue that the authority Of Its civil officers
s brought into contempt; and furthermore that the
mischief complained Of tends to increase poverty dis
order and crime therefore, in the exercise OF the au
thority vested in the Commanding General it is ordered
that
The distillaton or manufacture of whiskey or other
spirits from grain is prohibited In this Military DlslcI

two officers of the army next in rank duty within the
territorial limits of the Post. If the eIigences OF the
service do not permit the detail of other officers that
no 6u1y the Post Commander Will

some inconsistencies exist between that given be-
