RALEIGH, N. c., Oct. IL, 1872.
The DAILY Ne,rs OF this morning has the follow
ing The city Of Raleigh was alarmed about one
O'Clock this morning by terrible explosion, which
shook nearly every building In the city. Soon the
alarm OF fire was given and 1t was ascertained that
the noise proceeded from the Office Of the Raleigh
Sentinel The 1remen were promptly on the spot,
as the Sentinel Office adjoined the engine house.
Upon examination OF the press room 1t was found
and scattered In every direction. The press on
which the Sentinel was printed was completely de-
moished, the type In the composing room adjon-
ing was all Knocked down and pied, and everyth
was In the greatest confusion aud disorder.
A large crowd OF citizens soon gathered around
the disinantled building, and the impression was
universal that some hend In human form had
blown up the Sentinel press by placing powder
under 1t. This opinion was fully confirmed by q
subsequent examination of the ruins. small J0D
press In the composing room, which escaped
destruction, was examined, and paper OF powder
was found under IL, with slow match, which nau
been lighted but had gone out. II Is said that
about ten minutes before the explosion colored
boy, who lives near the ONCE saw two lndlvduais
running from the spot In the direction OF tne depot
with hats In their hands. We learn that the once

gentlemen, thank you for the honor you have

AZ Mr Lawrence ceased speaking and took a
cONGRATULAroRY.
Calls were then made for Horace =. Clark, who
came forward and made few remarks. He said
he united in cordial approval with those who had
brought Mr.. Lawrence into the contest. The
nomination was the best made for the
experience went. He knew Mr.. Lawrence
to be man in every way ut for the position, and
everybody knew him as a leader OF reform. He
been able to shake of its bad men and make
clean sweep OF all the villains who had robbed her
Of her good name. The nomination was an evil
dence OF this determination. She had by it also
given proofthat as much depends upon the strength
Of nomination as upon the strength OF the Or
ganization which n0minates. She would deserve
to fall II she failed to press forward like Mr..
Augustus Schell, John Kelly and Judge Spencer,
IN answer to loud calls, also made short speeches,
much In the same stratn as that OF Mr.. Clark.
A TELLING HIT.
Mr.. Kelly remarked that he firmly believed that
the only objection the Committee OF Seventy had TO
Mr.. Lawrence was that he did not intend tosupp0rt
face OF the fact that they had protested some time
ago against dragging national political issues into
municiDal campaign. This remark seemed to be
highly reiished BY the delegates, who applauded
loudly.
The Convention shortly after this adjourned, but,
II must be said, not until the chairman put a mo-
tion-which was carred-that communication be
sent to the Committee OF Seventy, IN the name Of
the Convention, challenging that committee TO
''pass uponn their nominee; In other words, ask
them II they had better man TO put in the field.
or course the Committee Of Seventy is expected to
be heard from.

State elections In rearranging their columns,
broken by the late disastrous onslaught OF the enc
my in Pennsylvania and Ohio and preparing for
continuance or the campaign under the altered
condition OF anairs. It is fully admitted that the
States mentioned are lost to the opposition for the
coming struggle, and It now only remains to the
throw their strength into those States which are
still doubtful, and which, carried, win result
in the election Of Mr.. Greeley. 1t is claimed

Of the anal result as heretofore It is argued that
the liberal republican strength lies among the more
intelligent Of the republican party not apt to be
swayed by the prospects Of success or failure, and
that in those States where fair expression OF the
wishes OF the people can be had with no opp.or-
