construction can be put upon the
language of this writer than that he
is ready to rebel against the gov

Democratic brethren to resist by
physical force, the authority of our
Government. Now we suggest,
that if this writer reflects the real
sentiment of the Democratic party
upon thepower of Congress, whcth-
or (if, as he says, they have the
physical force) it is not time for
the Government to employ a
stronger military force than they
have contem. lated in their recon

at defiance the execution of the
laws of Congress, it will be because
they distrust the physical power
necessary to success, and not be-
cause they are loyal to the Govern

| Special dispatch to the Gin, Gaz.
yellow SPRINGS VIA XENlA o.
March l2, 1867.
The dry house of King 4 Dickey's Pow.
der Mill, situated on the Little Miami
Railroad three and half miles south sf
this town, blew mp this morning at twenty
minutes past 8 o'clock.
There were about ten tuns of powder in
the building at the time the explosion took
place
Two men, Jasper Luck, and Ira McMan-
agan, were instantly killed, and horribly
mutilated.
The latter was thrown distance of
three hundred feet from the building and
literally blown to pieces, his bowels being
torn out, and his limbs hands, feet, and
other parts of his body being scattered
here and there.
He had been a soldier, and while in the
army had finger shot off of one hand.
By this his mangled remains were recog
nized.
The other man was badly mutilated, e,
and could not be recognized. He was
thrown nearly quarter of mile from the
building.
The explosion was most terrific. Every
portion of the fated house was swept away
and only the blackened and torn up ground
indicated where it stood.
Every building within circuit Of
quarter of mile was more or less injured.
Several persons were prostrated by the
shock, and child was considerably in
jured by portion Of the exploded building
falling upon it.
The Little Miami river runs near the
scene of the explosion, and for consider.
able distance the waller was swept from the
bed and poured in flood upon the neigh
boring fields.
Glass was blown from the windows of
the houses in 0ldtown, two miles south of
the mill.
The weatherboarding was furiously rip
ped from the sides of Il large barn more
than an eighth of a mile away,
For minute and a half after the explo-
sion, the air was horribly convulsed, and
terrific sounds, resembling succession of
heavy thunder claps and Ills, could be
heard in every direction.
The graning mill of this establishment
has been blown up frequently before. but
this is the first time the dry-house has ex
perienced n like fate.
The mills are widely known as those of
the Miami Powder Company, The de-
in busiuiss will be at once re
lieve. Temporary arrangements will be
made for continuing, and the mill regular
ly supply the trade as heretofore.
The entire loss of the Company by the
explosion will not fall short of Sl0, 900.

makes some material changes in our
system of working the public

ges Is, that it gives the control of
the improvements Of roads within

Our Turnpikes.

" may have been in past years Il
engage in valuable enterprises, w
want our neighbors to understand
one fact, and that is that she stand
the first county in the State, in tn
enterprise ofbuilding graz eled turn
pike roads. Her people in thi
matter, have eyinced a spirit Of ell
ergy and laudable progression tina
is not equaled by any county in tn
State, under the law authorizing tn
construction of turnpikes, passed
last April Already there are thre'
roads put under contract and vii
be built this Summer.
This week we have printed post
ers FOR securing sealed proposals fol
building five more roads: One
from Gill9spie's Corners, three
miles North of this town, on the
Mt. Sterling road, (already under
contract) leading through Bloom
ingburg to the county line North,
at thafarm Of g. Paulin, nine miles.
On The Prairie Road, from Cole
man Hays to JeGersonville road,
at the Northern county line, ten
and a half miles.
81. The Washington and Hills
borough road, from Washington to
Wabash creek, six miles.
4TH. The Washington and Chilli
eothe road, from Washington to
the Ross county line, at the farm OF
Milton Heagler, nine miles.
5Tu. The Washington and Lees
burg road, from Washington to the
farm Of Daniel Payey, 124 miles,
This makes eight different roads,
and the aggregate number of miles
is 7S,
In addition to these roads, some
two or thre more are in contempla-
ton All Of these roads except the
one from Mt Sterling through Wa
terloo, in this county, lead to this
place,
Fayette is one of the best agricul-
tural counties in the State, and the
people are determined they will
have the best roads.
For a good many years this
county was looked upon with indif
ference; it was regarded as a poor
I'D swampy county, one that
y0ifd YrodHce little else tllan
gooferop Of frogs; but the hun
dreds Of miles Of undertaking |
that has been made In the lands OF
or farmers, has revealed an agri-
cultural wealth in this county that
was never dreamed Of before; and
now the further enterprise of max
ing good turnpille roads through
p rts Of the county, will make
this one Of the most desirable coun-
ties in the State, in which to locate.
IN view Of the lead our people are
taking in improving their lands by
draining, and making good turn
pike roads, ii must not he said that
they are a community Of Old Fog
los, not a bit Of it. Fayette Is a
progressive county.
