Imprisoned in a Burning Mine.

MUsCoGEE, 1. T., Dec. 13.-An ex-
plosion occurred in the Indianola and
Hathewa Mine, hree miles from Poteau,
late last night, causing the death OF at
least FIVE men. Twenty-Five others are
imprisoned in the mine, which is on
fire. The disaster was caused by an
explosion of dust following blast. One
hundred men were at work in the niue
at the time. There seems to be little
hope of rescuing the entombed miners,
as there are hundreds of tons of earth
to be taken away before the men can be
reached. A hundred men are working
to rescue their.comrades. This is the
second time within three weeks that an
explosion has occurred in this mine, two

q. S. TROOPS IN HAVANA.

The Two Hundred and Second New
York regiment began to land in Ha-
vana at six o'clock yesterday morning,
and at 10 o'clock a column about 1000
strong started to march from the St.
Jose wharf to the Christina Railroad
station, the regimental band playing sim.
pie marching airs. The color sergeant
bore the Stars and Stripes and the blue
and gold banner of the State of New
York. \The route, which was mile
and a-hali, was the most direct course
from the landing place to the railroad
station, and did not pass through the
principal streets. There were only the
ordinary number of people in the
streets, and it was onlyioccasionally that
cries of viva Espana!" "Vivs Ameri-
canosl" or viva Cuba Libre" were
heard. The onlookers were mostly ST.
lent, and were merely curious to see the
American soldiers. The regiment ar
rived st the railroad station at 1880,
and after some delay two trains loaded
with troops pulled out of the depot.

ing deep emotion, the men embracing
one another, the women weeping from
excessive pleasure, and the children
shouting endearing names as the North

were amazed at the intensity of feeling
displayed. Several hundred Cubans
followed the regiment all the way to
Marianao, distance Of seven miles.

THE BATTLE OF FREDERICKS.
BURG.

December 10, 1862, thirty.six years
ago, 1.-THE Battle of fredericksburg
was ushered in with heavy cannonad-
ing all along the line. The 18th regi-
ment, Virginia Infantry, being about
the centre of the Confederate line, was
not actively engaged, but only enjoyed
harmless Smelling. 1t was cold day,
and we stood in line all. day expecting
an assault. On our right we saw sew
eral lines of federals melt away under
CALLING fire from Jackson's men. On
our left we could hear the heavy fire OF
the artillery from Marye's Hill, where
the federals charged up against
that wing of our army, leaving many
dead and wounded, who laid there all
day and night, presenting next day a
CHASTITY sight. Breastworks had been
made of the dead, when charge after
charge was made by the federals. The
hattie was one of the hardest and most
hotly contested in the war. 1t was
Confederate victory. Gen. A. E
Burnside, commanding the federals,
had splendidly equipped army of over
100000 men. The CoDfederates under
Lee and Jackson, had about $1,000
men. The forces actually engaged on
the federal side 1 do not know. Gen.
Lee reports that only 10000 of the Con-
federates were actively engaged. The
federal loss as reported was 124 officers
and 1 ,160 enlisted men killed, 654 Off
GERS and S,946 enlisted men wounded.
and 20 officers aud 1,7S4 men
taken prisoners. The Confederate loss
as reported by Gen. Lee was 1900 kill
ed and wounded, and 700 taken pris
oners-these figures include thesskirm
ishes on the 18th and 18th of Deem
Der. This is net an attempt to describe
this battle, but only as a reminder TO
the "boys," and as we have no "pen-
sion days" to keep US in mind I think
we will be psrdoDed if from time TO
time cur battles are referred to for the
benefit of our children, "lest they for
