A Fjre-Dnlnp Explosion.

The London Tmes.of the 9th gives the fol-
lowing account of a fre-damp explosion in
the Sheriff Pit, Silverdale, Stafordshire, by
which nineteen miners were killed:
The scene of the explosion was a new work
ing in the eight-foot seam, 300 yards below
the surface, and 600 yards from the pit shaft.
In TINS seam about thirty men were working,
OF whom twenty were in the vicinity OF the
spot where the gas fired, and nineteen were
killed. The rest of the men, who were out oil
the range of the gas, escaped, along with the
horses In other parts of the PIT there were
some fifty other men, but they were 800 yards
off, and were not affected by the occurrence
The explosion happened about half-past one
and was heard by the men employed at the
foot of the shalt, who at once assembled the
pit and reported what had occurred. Mr.. Lu
cas-, the ground bailiff, whose heroism, more
than once shown during The painful task he
had undertaken, deserves mention, descended
the pit with body OF men, for the purpose Of
rescuing the living, if any, and recovering the
dead. They found the airways, roads and
workings blocked up with rubbish dlslodged
by the explosion, and in many places it wa:
necessaryto eXcavate passage. After open
ing the airways and restoring the ventilation
the explorers went on and found five bodies

structions, and searching for the bodies OF the
dead. They succeeded in opening the whole
of the roads, and recovered thirteen bodies
They also ascertained the position of some o
the remaining six, who were most of then
buried beneath ruins dislodged from the roo
and walls. .t..
Two of the men were working in row
when the explosion came, and they had nj
chance to escape, while others, hearing tn
report, ran away to get out of the way, ant
were met in their flight by fire and damp
and killed. Only two of the thirteen dea,
bodies recovered up to yesterday evening wer
mutilated, the rest having slight burns, an,
| exhibiting evidences of death by suff0catior
The search was continued all day yesterda
and last night, and it was expected the re
mainder of the nineteen bodies would be re
covered by this morning.

PosTPoNEMEMT OF AN EXECUTION AT
ELKTON, MD.-Geo. Harris, who was to
have been hanged at Elkton, Nd, yesterday,
for the murder of A. Russum in December
last, has been respited by Governor Bowie
until the 25th of November. The accom-
plice of Harris, man named Benz. Thomp-
son, alias Bolt, who, it is alleged, did the
stabbing, was some time ago found guilty
of murder in the second degree, and SEN
fenced to eighteen years in the penitentiary.
Repeated efforts had been made to have
the sentence of Harris committed, but the
Governor persistently refused to do so, and
as is learned from the Cecil Democrat,
every preparation was made for the execu-
ton, even to the erection of the gallows
and purchasing the burial suit. On We'd
nesday evening, however, Mr.. Constable,
accompanied by Hon. Alexander Evans,
set out for Annapolis to make a final APP
peal, or at least secure respite. 1t was
not believed, however, that they would be
successful, and yesterday large crowd
assembled to witness the execution. The
committee from Annapolis returned late
on Thursday night, bnt did not reach the
scene of the execution until yesterday
morning after the people had congregated,
when they brought the respite. The Dem
.ocrat adds that the crowd were not very
well satisfied with the result.-,Sun Sept. 8

THE FALL OF NAPOLEON.
OPINIONS OF THE AMERICAN PRESS.


From the New York World.
Meme, Meme, Tekel Upharsin.- ever the
awful words that famed in judgement on
Belshazzar's palace wall fitted the solemn
story of falling throne and a broken
sceptre, they fit the tragic scene which
passed at Sedan on Friday, the second of
September
These things, we say, it is becoming to
recall and to record to-day of the fallen
Caesar. And these things bring us to the
moral of his fall. For if man so much
more highly endowed, and in the main so
much more nobly moved, not only than
most princes born in the purple, but than
a decided majority of the elected chiefs of
men, could not make Casarism a success
in such country as France, what man in
what country can ever do so The sur
render of the third Napoleon, we repeat
then, is the surrender not of the man but
OF the system. 1t is surrender in which
all the world, therefore, may rejoice, save,
perchance, the very monarch who received
it. The cry which went up in some parts
of Europe yesterday, hailing a new Emper-
or of Germany in the stead of the falling
Emperor of the French, will be cry of
evil omen to victorious Germany if it be
heard and answered by her.

From the Neao York Herald.

What fate is in store for Napoleon the
Third2 1t will be well to leave this cues
ton unanswered for the present. Much as
we blame Napoleon for this war, we would
not heap abuse upon him now that he has
fallen from his high estate We cannot
forget his many merits. If, as the result
has proved, the Empire has been a hollow
institution, it has at least been strong !;
and France for twenty years has basked in
prosperity for which Napoleon is mainly
to be credited. His star has gone down I;
but we must not allow ourselves to be de-
ceived into the belief that the French peo-
pie will soon forget the House of Bona
parte. Death may soon relieve the fallen
Emperor of his cares; but if his unfortu-
nate son is spared. distracted France at
some future time may rally around him as
deliverer. The Empire is dear to the
French people; it is necessarily associated
with the House of Bonaparte; and al
though it may pass away for the present it
is not impossible that it will reappear in
pride and splendor under fourth Napo-
leon.
Fom the Nep York Sun.
With the surrender of Mcmahon the
last disciplined troops of France are gone,
and for the time they are at the mercy of
the Germans. She has other men under
arms, four or five hundred thousand, all
and brave Jealous. But at present they are
as useless as that considerable proportion of
McMahon's army which he did not dare to
lead into battle. 1t will require at least six
months to make these men effective fight
ers. No doubt the patriotic spirit of
France will ardently desire to continue
the war. 1t is but justice to say that as
yet no other wish or purpose has been
manifested in all the nation. But common
sense must after all decide; and the pre-
scription OF common sense is to submit to
the hard necessity, and to make peace on
the best attainable terms. That will
probably soon be the Judgment of the men
into whose hands the Government of
France will fall. 1t is possible that the
more desperate and heroic alternative may
be adopted by the French people: but it
is more likely that the conclusion of peace
at an early day will leave Europe at liber-
ty to persue that new course of develop
ment which the war has commenced,
From the Neo York Times.
France though bleeding from every pore,
will not yield. We record the fact with
regret, out without surprise, Since 1t has
been life and death struggle to the end,
it must go on until France is annihilated
as first-class Power. The French people
appear to take this view of their situation:
If they acknowledge themselves defeated
now, their glory and honor are gone. 1t
can be no worse if they continue to fight
Such sentiment is not incomprehensible,
but we cannot but lament the existence of
it under present circumstances. The work
of Germany may be prolonged-in our O.
pinion it cannot be defeated in the end.
From the Ne~ York Evening Post.
1t is the Empire that passes away, while
France, once more in charge of her own
destinies, will gain more than she loses by
the humiliation she suffers, if with the de-
feat comes the wisdom to accept and and
improve it.
