FROM GRANTS TIcKsBURG ARMY
Two senI-omcIaI Letters to tho Secretary
OF War.

During Gen. Grants campaign upon the
Mississippi River, near Nicksburg and be-
fore It, Mr.. G. A. Dana was sent there by
President Lincoln rs n special representa-
tive Of the War Department. Hc joined
Grants headquarters about month before
the siege began and remained until tho
town was surrendered His reports of the
battles Of tho campaign and the varying
events OF the siege were forwarded daily by
telegraph, and have been published in tho
vast series OF documents relating to tho
history OF the civil war that is issued under
the authority OF Congress. A few elab-
orate letters, three or four in all were
also sent to tho Secretary OF War through
the Post Ofllce; but these were not filed
in the archives OF tho War Department,
and as copies OF them were not kept
by the writer, the attempt to recover them
was long prosecuted without success, until
recently two of them were found. These
two letters formed the conclusion OF tho
series, and the earlier ones related mainly
to Grant, Sherman, and Mcpherson.
It Ia hoped that they may yet bo discovered,
In which case they shall be given to the
public. Meanwhile, there appears to be no
sufficient reason for Withholding any longer

thus far led would not seem at first sight cal

harsh and repellant surroundings he was des-

A NARROW ESCAPE.

An ExplOsion ut Winchesterss Yester-
day-Jerry Spillane Just About to
Enter the Building.
About $50 yesterday morning there was
the report of loud explosion at Winches-
ter's arms factory, which Immediately drew
out big crowd of excited people. The
explosion, it was found, had happened in
small building apart, in which the full
inmate is manufactured. This building is
hardly more than hole in the ground,
bricked up to level with the ground, and
a canvass covering. As explosions are not
unknown and likely to happen at most any
time, the most damage that can be done
the building is the blowing away of this
tent-like roofing. Very fortunately no one
was in or near the building yesterday at
the time, or there would be tale of hor-
ror to relate. As it was, Jerry Spill
lane, well known in the Ninth
ward politics, who has charge of
the making Of the illuminate had narrow
ing, and only little way off when the ex-
plosion occurred, and was considerably
Jared by it. The result is easy to ina
CINE if that explosion had been postponed
a minute or so. Mr.. Spillane was reported
around town to have narrowly escaped
being blown up at an explosion that hap
pened there three or four months ago.
The damage done yesterday was only
slight, two or three hundred dollars cover
ing it, but the report was very violent,
being heard all over the city. The houses
IN the vicinity, on Ashmun, Admiral and
Henry streets, we're considerably shaken,
but nothing shattered. The cause Of the
explosion is not known, as mo one had
been about the building that morning.

A NEW LUTHERAN CHURCH.

A Plan Among the Norwegians and
Danes for Forming Church of
Their Own.
There is good and growing field for
church work among the Danes and Norwe-
gians in this city and for some time past
they have been thinking seriously of Or
ganizing Lutheran church of their own.
In this they are largely aided and infiu-
enced by Mr.. Dahl of the Yale theological
seminary, who has been laboring among
them for the past few years. A meeting
was held yesterday afternoon in the Ger
man Lutheran church on George street,
and well attended, for the purpose of dis
cussions and laying plans. The first sub
ject was the need Of organizing, and then
the plan by which to do it. They voted to
pay, each one, at least twenty-five cents a
month, and as much more as possible, to
form the nucleus for their new church.
They have ALSO been promised liberal as
sistance from the German Lutheran
church, of which Rev. Dr. George Seel ia
pastor, and also the use of that church for
meetings Sunday afternoons. The matter
is to be discussed again next Sunday.
There are in the city some four or FIVE
hundred Danes and hundred or more
Norwegians. Whether they will build a
church soon is doubtful, but apparently
there are all thesindications of a crystal
hzation into an organized church.
