Mr. Gilmore, of the Zanesville Gazette, has published a pamphlet of some fifty pages, giviug full and detailed particulars of the men buried in the coal mine on the Muskin- gum, of which we have already published ac- counts. This most extraordinary affair ex- cited the deepest interest throughoatt the whole country, and thousands rushed tothe scene of disaster es aga a helping hand or add their sympathy In behalf of the sufferers. Such was the rush for this little narrative that the first edition of two thousand copies was sold intwodays! In their thrilling narrative they say: We experienced but little difficulty for want of air, though we were very much annoyed hy the dust of which our bed was composed. it was very fine and dry, and every time we turned or* moved, it seemed to raise a cloud. Even clearing our throats, when our faces were turned downwards, would blow the dust allovereach other. Our throats, and tongues, and teeth, would become coated with this dis- agreeable substance so that it became neces- sary to scrape it off with our fingers wherever we could reach it. It would cover our teeth in scales. It seemed to add very much to our thirst, and keep us using the copperas water continually is water, although very dis- agreeable at first, became oo pleasant towards the lest. It seemed to possess some nourishment. It began to have a taste, final- ly, like sweet milk, or rather like the whey of buttermilk. We always felt better after drinking it * We think we did not sleep much, nor long atatime. We were too cold todoso. Some- times one of us would be able to sleep alittle by getting in the middle, and have another lie on the top for a coverlet. Edgell says that Pearson made the heaviest coverlet they had, aad they vouldn’t bear him on very long at a time. We sometimes used the heads of each other for pillows; but the pillows generally grumbled considerably before we had occu- pied them as long as we desired. We, of course, had no way of measuring time, but we thought we could tell from the coolness of the air whenevening came. We ch a there must be some crack in the bank, through which the air was adwitted, for there was « difference at regular intervals We did not attempt, however, to keep any ac- count of the days. It was along, unbroken night to us. ‘owards the last, Pearson did not go to the break-down at all. Savage and Catwood say that they finally became so weak that they could not go the whole distance without stop- ping once, and frequently twice, to rest. Ed- gell, however, was able to make the whole distance without resting. Very little merrimeut was indulged in by any of us. Gutwood remembers haying taken one laugh at xen amusing quarrel which took place between Pearson and Edgell, as to who would sleepin the middle. Edgell also had a laugh at Ned Savage once They had start- ed on their Lands and feet to go to the break- down, and Ned, who was behind, stumbled and fell, iming as it happened, ‘I'll be darned if that ain’t down once for the first time ’ Savage seemed to keep in better spirits than any ofus. He was in the habit of lamenting less about his friends. His principal cause of trouble was conceruiag his wantof sleep. He frequently became spunky because not al- lowed to sleep inthe middle, and when his request was not granted, he would threaten to tell his uncle ‘‘Duck’’ Menear, and get us all a thrashing after he got out We did not make use of the oil as food. Edgell says that after they had beep in about a week or thereabouts, he took one swallow of it. He found it very pleasant, resembling chicken gravy, as much as any thing eise he can think of. He did not taste it afterwards, nor did he tell the other boys, but threw the can into one of the empty rooms. He says, “I thought that death was certain at all events, and using the oil would only have rolonged our sufferings. I did not wish to te the last to die.’” After the water in our jugs gave out, we used to quarrel a little as to who shouid go for water. We got our water in a room about fifty feet distant, which had dip, or low place, in the floor. It was very strongly impreg- nated with copperas. In order to get it into the jug, we" took the cover of atin bucket, which had contained the dinner, and bend- ing it so as to make a suitable mouth, we would dip up the water and pest it through the left hand, which was held funnel-shaped atthe mouth of the jug, This water was, at first, very disagreeable, but Pearson thinks there was something about it which in some way helped us to sustaip life. He thought very shortly after he beghn using it that the pangs of hunger became less severe and fre- quent, and the gnawings of his stomach less painful. For sometime after we were first confined, the paroxysms of hunger were fro- } quent and terrible to bear t seemed as! though we must have food or die, then, as the houra wore on, these paroxysms became | less and less eommon. Towards the last they seldom oceurred. ‘After a time,’’ he says, “TI become delirious. Strange dreams were running through my head. very good din- ner I cver ate seemed in turn to be standing before me again. I did not merely dream that [ saw them thus, but they were as plain before my eyes as you are now, sir. Tables logded with noble baked hams and delicious pies, were just within my reach, but my deli- rium never extended so far as to make me believe I was eating them. Notwithstanding they were so temptingly near me, I never en- joyed more than the sight of them, and then t would wake up from my delusion to the full horror of my situation.’’ Whether we had any hope left, Ido not know; I can hardly tell. e would often talk over the chances of being rescued. They seemed very dark, and yet we frequently wont towards the en- trance. It was the way out to the world; though we knew it was blocked up and im- passable for us. Gétwouod says, ‘I had the lirium of which Pearson eve splendid dinners standing ed to recollect ali the good meals I had ever eaten, Once I sonnel to be at home sitting at the table in front of my muther, in the po- sition I always occupied. She passed the bread, I thought ; I took it, brought it to my lips, and was aroused to find that I had filled my mouth with coal and dust. At another time I thought my father came into the bank, bearing in his hand a plate, containing sev- eral pieces of freshly baked short-cake. I could see the yellow butter running melted down the edge of it. Father said to me, “James are you stary- ing?’ and, having handed me the bread, turned round and passed out without another word. I took the bread and byought it to my mouth, but was again awakened to find my- self biting one side of my hand.

AMERICAN SHEPHERDS. W. Ken- dall, whd is engaged in woll in West- ern Texas, writes thus to New Orleans Picayune : ‘* But you should see our flock tenders here- aways on the [ndian frontier: I laughed out- right as one of them appeared before me, with some 800 sheep in chi Ordinarily we are wont to look upon she; 8 @8 peaceful folk; poets sing of them in gentle numbers, while painters spread them before us with crooks on their shoulders and perhaps lutes under their arms, ready to pour forth simple lays to any Tastic maidens within hearing of their walks. But instead of encountering one of these, you may judge my surprise when a ferocious, Fra Diavolish looking fellow stalked up to me, a double-barreled gun on his shoulder, a Bowie- knife hanging on one side, and one of Colt’s six-shooters on the other, at the same time an- nouncing, from a mouth completely hidden behind a fierce surrounding of beard and moustache, that he was keeper of his flook ! A more brigandish looking shepherd was P Pp surely never seen; yet the arsenal he carried about him he deemed absolutel: for his own protection against Indians. Crooks and lutes are well enough in the other settle- ments, but the Camanches are not to be charmed into good behavior by such pacific contrivances. Another flock tender, rimi- larly armed, soon came up, and it struck me that were all of them to enter the bureau of Jeff. Davis at Washington, accoutred precisely as when I first saw them, he would sorely puzzied to make them out as peaceful shep- herds; he would take them for regular high- waymen first. Such is protection.” Srveutan Case.—A correspondent of the Machias (Me.,) Union, details a very currious case. ss oS Tufts, of this town, having ina keg in his store, about two pounds of gun-pow- der, and wishing to use the keg, poured the contents into @ paper, which he carried to the house and give to his wife for safe keeping. Mrs. Tufts, being busily engaged in her do- mestic affairs, put the powder in the oven of a stove in an unoccupied room, with the inten- tion of taking it out when at leisure, but for- got to do so. Not long after this, while Capt. i. was sawing in a lath-mill—one of his hands, coming in contract with the saw, was nearly cutoff. He was carried homecompletely ex- haustedjfrom lossof blood. His “ye jan and friends had nearly dispaired of his life, as every effort to stop the blood had proved un- availing. In the meantime. a fire was order- ed to warm the room for the reception of Cap- tain T. Immediately after kindling the fire, his friends proceeded to carry him into the room, and had just reached the door, when the powder exploded—breaking the clock, stove, window, glass, &c , into atoms, and starting from its place one end of the house. But the curious part of the story is, Capt. T. received a shock which immediately stopped the blood, thereby saving his life; for it was the opinion of his physician, that had he bled another ounce, it must have proved fatal. Mount Vervon.—Edward Everett, in his letter to Governor Bragg, of North Carolina, says: Perhaps you will pardon me for adding, that, in all my appointments to repeat this address (except the very first made last summer,) among others at the Universities of Virginia and New Jersey, I have stipulated that the proceeds should be appropriated in aid of the tund for the purchase of Mount Vernon, for which provision is made in the act of Virginia, of the 17th of March last. The recent letters of the proprietor throw doubt on his present willingness to cede the estate. It cannot, however, be doubted, that it will eventually become public property; and in the mean- time, I do not understand that the efforts to raise the requisite funds will be relaxed. The sums which have come into my hands have been safely and advan' usiy invested in trust, and I shall make the same disposition of any that may hereafter be received by me, without the deduction of a dollar for personal expenses Should the attempt to purchase Mount Vernon fail, the funds rai can be appropriated to some other patriotic pu neral interest connected with the memory of of —— mes + I remain dear sir, wit! _ faith- fully yours, \DWARD Sranere. Communism Dyinc Our—The reader is doubtless informed of the fact that, since the expulsion of the Mormons from Nauvoo, Ill., the site of that town has fallen in the occupa- tion of Mons Cabet, who, at the head = a body of French socialists, entitled the Icarian Coleny, has, fora few years past, been en deavoring to putinto practice there the prin- ciple of communism ‘or some time they got on passibly well; but at length the apple of discord was rolled in, and the community be- come so divided that, whilst Cabet himself and minority of the colonists are understood to advocate immigration from France, a ma- jority opposes such a course, and directly warns their foreign brethren against risking the chances of much discomfort and suffering, owing to the divided condition of the colony. If we mistake not, all the numerous Phalans- teries, that seven years ago dotted the north- ern and middle States, have died out. and that the Icarian community should timely fol- low their fate, may reasonably be expected.

Evopement in Hics Lire.—A beautiful girl, about seventeen years of age, daughter of a wealthy and prominent gentleman of thiscity, recently eloped to Europe with an officer in the late war with Mexico, in which he distin guished himself for his bravery and heroism. He isa man of large fortune, and before leaving provided bountifully for his family which he left behind.

She was genteelly educated, and all the accomplish- ments that wealth could bestow. Her every wish was gratified by her doting parents.— Tribune.
