terday and to-day have had to walk
several miles to obtain tidings, if possi-
BILE, of relatives. An old and expert
enced manager who was in the pit during
the whole of Friday night, says although
it had been his lot to witness the effects
of many explosions, he never during the
whole course of his career, beheld such a
sight as that which he witnessed below.
He is, also, Of opinion that, unless very
great care is taken, other explosions will
follow. Many of the bodies that have
q been brought to the surface are frightful-
ly burnt, the clothing completely de-
stroyed, and in some cases portions of
the body have been literally burnt
away, the charred remains presenting a
sickening and frightful spectacle. At
the time of the explosion thirty
horses were working in the pit, and
every one of them has been killed.
Some of them had portions of their har-
ness still on, but every vestige of
hair was burnt off. 1t is diff
cult to conjecture what has been
the cause of the accident, but
it is feared that long immunity from ac-
cidents in the Rhondda Valley have
made the colliers reckless of their safety.
Some of the lamps have been found open,
but some believe that this may have
been caused by the force of the explosion !;
but those who are well acquainted with
the construction of the safety-lamp de-
clare that to be an impossibility. In
the colliery is a new stable, in which it
is said that four carpenters were work
ing with naked lights. This is believed
to have been the cause of the accident,
as a large quantity of gas is said to be
constantly in the pit. There are numer
Gus rumors aaoat as to the cause of the
accident, but nothing reliable has yet
been ascertained. - p.

RAILROAD ACCIDENT AND Loss OF LIFE.
A serious accident occurred on the 25th ul-
tlmo on the Mobile and great Northern rail
road. The Mobile Tribune says:
The cars had on board Castello's and Van
Amburgh's menagerie. The accident was
caused by the springing of rail, and six
cars were precipitated down a forty foot en-
bankment-three platform and two stock
cars. The cages of the animals were upon
fhe platform cars, and were thrown off
smashing them up. A lion, three bears, two
tigers, hyena and hippopotamls were there
by turned loose, and produced much excite
ment. One of the bears getting hold of a
beautiful American deer ma de short work of
her. After great difficulty all of the an
imals were secured with the exception of the
hyena, who showed fight; she was finally
knocked senseless by Il blow from heavy
piece of wood and thrown into cage Mr..
Lewis Burrows, attached to the circus de-
partment, was killed, and four others severe
ly wounded. One horse was killed and sew

Calvin J. Rogers.

We insert the following, at the request of
Mr.. Rogers. We will simply state. that. so
far as we have been able to learn, the charge
against Mr.. Rogers was based entirely upon
the subsequent statements of Mr.. R. Tilly,
and perhaps others:
To the Editors Of the Sentinel:
GENTLEMEN 1T having been stated in
YOUR paper, soon after the late election, that
had " imposed upon illiterate white men,"
and got them Improperly to vote the Repub-
lcan ticket, and as this statement does me
great injustice, 1 have to request respectful
ly that you give the following certificates
from Robert Tilley, William u. Holloway,
and A. G. Jones, a place in your paper,
which will show that the statement referred
to has no foundation in fact
Very Respectfully,

THE LAST DAY OF THE CONVENTION.

THE LAST DAY OF THE CONVENTION.
MONTGOMERY, Dec. 6.
The Convention to-day adopted memo
rial to Congress, requesting an alteration or
amendment of the laws, so as to require only
IL majority of the registered voters, voting ON
the question, to determine for or against the
adoption of the Constitution.
An ordinance was passed to protect cleo
tors. 1t provides for thepunishment of per-
sons who intimidate voters, or deceive them
as to the day of elections, the candidates to
be voted for, &c.
An ordinance was passed declaring all
debts made for the purchase of slaves abso-
lutely void. and setting aside all judgments
or DEGREES by any State Court since the 10th
of Jan. 1861, upon all evidences OF debt bas-
ed upon the sale or purchase of slaves The
ordinance also declares null and void, at the
option of either party, all contracts for the
sale of land made between Jan. 18th, 1861,
and May 8, 1865, where the purchase money
is unpaid or the title-deeds remain unexecu-
ted, unless paid for, or contracted to be paid
for, in United States Currency, or property
other than slaves. All notes or other evil
dences Of debt outstanding and unpaid,
given for or in consideration of Confederate
currency or bonds, are declared null and
void.
The President of the Convention, who is
the Radical nominee tor Supreme Court
Judge, opposed this ordinance, declaring

Gov Worth of South Carolina is in town.
and is endeavoring to obtain from the War
Department an order defining the exact
powers and duties of the Military comman-
ders in the South, and their precise relations
to the civil officers of the Southern States

We presume this is Gov. Worth, of North
Carolina. Gov. Worth went to Washington
about this time last year, to urge the Presi-
dent to continue the whipping-post in
North Carolina He now wants to know
his "prerise relations" to the national govern

We publish to-day the proceedings of a
meeting held in this City by the Republi
cans, in relation to municipal affairs. The
term of the present Mayor and Commission
ers will expire on the 10Th of next month,
when the duty will devolve on the command,
ing General to fill the vacancies by appoint
ing loyal Mayor, nine loyal Commissioners,
and loyal Chief of Police, who can take
and subscribe the iron-clad test-oath.
The meeting referred to was very largely
attended. 1t comprised much of the intelli-
gence, bone and sinew, and loyalty CT our
people. Excellent resolutions were adopted,
and the proceedings were marked by .ludg-
ment, order and good ten per- AS an old res
ident ofthe City, and as one deeply concerned
in the prosperity of the place, we can assure
the commanding General that this meeting
not only truly represents the great body of
our loyal people, but that the persons recon-
mended are in all respects well qualified for
the places for which they have been designa-
ted by their fellow-citizens. It is not neces-
sary at present that we should advert to the
very improper and unjust administration of
our affairs by the present Rebel Mayor and
Commissioners. We may do this hereafter.
1t is sufficient to say that the great body of
our people desire thorough change, and
that they look with confidence to the COM
u,anding General to order this change
1t was to be expected that the rebel papers
of this City would bitterly assail this move
ment. These people, who have been so long
RECALLING themselves at the public teat, must
be expected to squeaf when they are pulled
away from it. The Sentinel speaks OF the
Republican nominees as fellows" and
whines over the prospect that the interests OF
-'property- holders" are about to be sacrificed.
The persons recommended are as intelligent,
as decent, and own as much property as the
present Board. If this is denied, and if any
further reflections should be made on the
Republican nominees, we shall go into Il
strict comparison, man by man, and show
that the proposed Board will lose nothing in
any respect by such analysis as to character
and "property"
The Sentinel, assuming to represent an eff
ft tie aristocracy, turns up its pug nose at the
r epublican nominees, because they are me-
ct ,anics and working-men. They are not of
tn elite They do not represent the potato
to D, with the best part of their families in the
or, ,und That paper does not like the hard
hal I'd of labor, or the countenance imbrown-
ed by toll in the open air. Poor Sentinel!

its altar of roses, and take things as they
are. The people are going to rule. Poor

New York Tribune says:
* Nearly all the members of the National
Republican Committee are here to attend
the meeting on Wednesday, at which the
time and place for holding the National Con

to be between Chicago and CINCINNATI, with
the chances in favor of the former. Chicago

Disastrous Earthquakes at st. The ,mas--
Immense loss of life and property.


HAVANA, Dec. 4.-Forty-seven sho. ;ks of
earthquake, rapidly succeeding each other,
were felt at st. Thomas on the Goth of No
vember. One shock lasted two minut, s.
The sea rose sixty feet on the city, and eve
rything was submerged. The loss of life
was enormous, and immense quantities of
merchandise were destroyed. The survvil ',g
inhabitants, houseless and destitute, fled t 0
the mountains. Those that remain are
striving by every means to leave the island.
The steamer La Plata is the only vessel
which has sailed since the calamity, and she
let .ae hundred and fifty persons behind for
Man' oi !. accommodation. Every business
nrm on tne 1irnd is insolvent, and all the
doned it. No coal :. to be- had has ana ao Gu.
wharves are destroyed. At the time of the
sailing of the steamer the earthquakes con-
tinued at intervals. The destruction is in
calculable at st. Thomas, and also at Tortola
and St. Croix. Little Saba is horrible
