WASHINGTON, April "A terrible explosion
occurred on Wednesday evening about two
O'Clock, in the Bright Hope coal mine at Glover
Hill pits, about thirty-one miles from Richmond,
resulting in the loss of seventy persons killed.
The following letter from the Superintendent of
the coal pits explains the disaster:-
CLOVER HILL PITS, April 40 A. ND. S;
WorLhRm-Dear Sir:-When the pit bottom was
reached yesterday it ascertained that the lumber
house in the pit, which contained some powder,
ON fire. Iendeavored to get the men to put It out
which doubt could have been DONE but they feared
the danger OF another explosion, and were unwilling
TO work. The pit has again been examined this morn
ing and the fire is small that could managed
the workmen were willing to risk the danger. Under
all circumstances have determined TO the pit
by closing the shafts. We are now engaged in this
work. All the men, about seventy in number. and all
the mules that were down in this pit OF course,
lost The bodies cannot be recovered until the fire is
extinguished and the pits repaired. 70 RS etc,
NED II. COX,
P. S.-About twenty of the men were white,
and the rest colored, Everybody in the PIT at
the time of the accident is supposed to be killed.
The explosion was the result of neglect, and,
Il is supposed, of drunkenness.

Notwithstanding the eXertons made to con-
ceal from the public the true state of affairs in
relation to the explosion which threatened to
destroy the Academy OF Music last Monday
night still the Herald is enabled to furnish adj
dilional facts in connection with the accident.
The statements which have appeared and the
rumors which have gained currency, that only
one man, has been injured, appear singularly
incorrect when the following statements from
eye witnesses of some OF the sufferers have been
perused:-
FROM A THIRD AVENUE CAR PASSENGER.
About five minutes after the explosion Of the
gas occurred on Monday evening last, at the
Academy of Music, one of the victims, boy
about fifteen years of age, entered Third ave-
nne car, in which was riding up town. The
boys balr was all siLged round mis- head, and
his face was in a complete blister from chin TO
eyebrows. The passengers got up on his enter
ing and asked the cause. He told 1t IN very
few words:-'The gas" he said, (which had
been left turned on, by some ones negligence,
had filed the room;. he went in to light 1t, and
was blown out of the place. 1t was wonder
that the Academy had not been blown out, and
that the roof had not fallen in, thus causing a
general catastrophe / think 1t showed great
heartlessness, to say the least of it, to send this
boy home to his residence in FiftYninth street,
on cold night, without first calling doctor to
have no consideration for humanity.
Ascertaining that DR.. Henry Senff, of No. l09
Clinton place. had attended oneIof the boys who
was burned at the time of the fire, he was
visited last evening for the purpose of learning
the condition of his patient. The following is
his statement:-
DR. sENFFs STATEMENT.
The boy whom am treating for injuries sus.
| tanned at the fire in the Academy of Music last
Monday night, is very dangerously burned about
| the head face, neck both hands, and even In
| the inside of the mouth, tongue. and the palate;
| with care, after long time, he will probably
| recover, but it will require great care and at
tention; visit my patient daily.
The condition OF James Cox whose statement
appeared yesterday, is some what improved.
| His father called at the Academy of Music
yesterday in order to see If he could obtain any
redress tor the injuries received by his son, and
he received little or no satisfaction, Mr. Cox
feels very much aggrieved at the treatment ne
The other boys, 80 far as ascertained. who
were burned were much in the same condition
as on the previous day.-N. Y. Herald.

OBITUARY.
George Wythe Randolph.

BY telegram from Richmond we learn of
the death OF George Wythe Randolph, a grand
son of Thomas Jefferson, and distinguished dur
ing the late war as the Confederate Secretary of
and received military education at 1--WE be-
lieve) the Virginia Military Institute. He also
studied law, and at the outbreak of the Rebel
lion was pursuing his profession, and ranked
among the ablest speakers and debaters
at the bar of the old Common
wealth. Beng an ardent supporter of the
secession movement, hOstilities had scarcely
been inaugurated before he raised a company Of
artillery, serving with distinction and being
General. In 1862 upon the reorganization of
the Col fedeIate Cabinet, General Randolph was
offered and accepted the position of Secretary
of War. He entered upon his duties with vigor
and determination, and under his sklful lmin-
istration the Confederate army, which had
been rapidly becoming demoralized, soon re-
covered It's efficiency, and was enabled to force
Mcclellan from his position in front of Rich
mond. The long train of Victories which
attributed principally to the great administrative
powers of General Randolph. He was too in
dependent however, 10 satisfy Jefferson Davis,
and a quarrel between the two resulted in his
rendering his resignation which was accepted,
and Mr. SeddoL appointed to ill the vacancy.
From the day General Randolph resigned the
downfall of the ConfederacY commenced, and
u is doubtful If reinforcement OF one hundred
thousand men would have done the Union cause
as much good as did his retirement. For several
years past the deceased had been afflicted with
severe bronchial affection, which threatened
az one time during the war to carry him OFF.
personally General Randolph was an excellent
man, and those who knew him speak in high
terms OF the purity of his private character.
