Two workmen at the granite quarries in this
city, by the name Of Msrston and Sten were in
jured on Monday last, by the breaking of rigging

injured, while Stein escaped with slight bruises,
and is now able to be about his work as usual.

Mr. William S. Marshall of this city, received
on Monday last the sad news of the death, by
yellow fever, of his youngest daug hter, at Savan-
nah, Ga. A granddaughter of Mr.. Marshall
also died OF the same disease recently; and his
son Theodore, and another daughter, were sick
with the dread disease, but hopes were enter
tanned of their recovery. The ravages of the fe-
yer in Savannah and other Southern cities are in
deed fearful.
We Learn that the case Of forgery brought to
light in this city last week, involving one Of our
adopted citizens in trouble, which he probably
little dreamed of when the act was committed, has
been arranged, without prosecution by parties
interested, from considerations deemed wise and u-
dicous doubt, under the circumstances Of the
case.
Abundant harvests have rewarded enterprsing
husbandry to satisfactory degree throughout
our State and the country generally; and un-
mistakable evidences of the revival of business
are apparent on every hand.

Warren Powder Mill Explosion Reply to
Mr.. Burriil.
We see the powder mill man rises to explain.
And though he hopes the good people of Warren
will tremble in their shoes more, vet he is very
much mistaken if he supposes his "quiescent"
articl, will have the effect We do not propose
to enter into controversy in regard to making
powder, for powder must be made. But we do
distinctly want it understood that We the citizens
of Warren Village, protest against its being made
in Warren, basnR our grounds of objection upon
the knowledge Of the power of gunpowder gained
and felt in the last disaster.
Will Mr. Burrill please tell us if his mind was
as placid as he would like our article to be, on the
second days disaster, when he contended fercely
with the fire company about putting their engine
onto the grounds few moments previous to the
last and most destructive explosions How does
he know how the description looks to a distant
Observer He was present and felt more interest
in saving property than in the safety of the people
of Warren, as bis article proves. As to his story
illustrating burnt powder. &c, facts and observa-
ton proves the contrary; so we can afford to re-
ceve his thrust he would like to have us receive
his explosion.
Mr. b. says "the building was old timber-
standing now; other mills have blown up ard not
much damaged, &C." Yes, they were old, and
gentleman who has worked powder mill Cor
years, and had several explosions, says he never
saw such havoc before, from ike causes, If it
was demolished it was demolished. Yes it stands
now, but too broken to be repaired without taking
down. AS to the damages, of course the treasurer
ought to know, and we only have to say we think
that Mr.. B. acted the gentleman. In our articles
