The Scene of the Great mapegre te elock last yht the wor! bringing the bodies ot dead Tolne surface at the Av. dale mine was succeeding steadily. Sixty bodies had then been raised.

The followmg subscriptions of reliet have beea received:— New York Board of Brokers, $5,000); Asa Packer, €2.500; Governor , 8500. The Avondale min been worked for two ears, Three months ago the miners struck. resumed work on Thursday last. The Mine ts entered by a shaft on the hillside. This is the only entrance. Wooden buildings, 10) feet high and 200 feet long, covered the mouth of the shaft. The mine was filled with narrow from four to ten feet high, which Oscasionally opened inte immense po? caves. A railroad track Was iaid on the bot. tom of each of these passages. The cars were filled with coal three-quarters of a mile from the shaft by the miners at work. The coal cars Were then run throngh the various wooden. supported paesages to the shaft. then ran upon a platform. which was ruised to the top of the the same as a common elevator ora vertical railway. When the cars reached the earth’s surface they were run out over a trestle railway through the wooden baildings and dam; As there was but one main shatt to the Ayon- dale mine, its ventilation was difficult. It had not been worked for some time. and much foal air had collected in the damp places, Bes; the bad air generated by the men and horses, And by the burning of lamps and gun powder, inflammable gases issue from crevices in the coal. gases mingle with the foul air of the mine, and will explode on the approach of 8 lighted candle. This gas is the fire-damp so much dreaded by the miners. To breathe it thirty second is sure death. The fire-damp is composed of carburetted hydrogen, and cboke-damp of carbonic. When blasting coal it will frequently issue in jets called blowers. At times, when the cavicies are broken in the coal by picks or crowbars, these blowers will burst out, creating a singing noise by the force of the current. The great danger is from opening pent-up reservoirs holding under great pressure immense bodies of gas disseminated through large area of coal, or collected in abandoned workings. When such bodies are inflamed, the Whole at- Mosphere of that portion of mine explodes, &nd the coal dust floating tnrough the passa- ges is ignited. The flames rush through the long corriders, causing repeated explosions in some cases they spring up the shafts as if issuing from the crater of the volcano. The subteranean walls are frequently shaken as if by an earthquake. The miners in the work- ings. their lights blown out by the force ef the explosion, hasten through the dark passages, stumoling over heaps of rubbish Itis possible that the accident at the Avon. dale mine was caueed by one of these explo- sions. Persons entering the mine complam of the sulphurous fumes choking up the corri- dors. The mine was ventilated by a farnace at the bottom of the shaft. By this furnace the air was made to circulate through the compli cated passages of the mine. The air for teed- ing the furnace was of course drawn from the lower part of the mine. The real cause of the disaster will never be known. At early morn a stream of fire shot up the shaft with frightful rapidity, and the buildings above were wrapped in flames so quickly that the engineers and others barely had time to escape. The wood of the shait eitber caught fire from the furnace or the rush. ing blaze came from the lighting of a fire damp within the ming, The dryness of the mine fa- vors the former supposition, but the sulphur. ous gases choging the explorers, and the caet. Less of the fire, would mdicate an ignition of a fire damp. Virginia News.

Itseems that Carter hac, repeatedly threatened the life of Steakley and Doc. Churles—a brother-in- law to Templeton—because they had assisted im arresting Carter in Alabama. The threat- ued parties knowing how well Uarter usually kept bis threats, were afraid to go about their crdimary business, Steakley and Templeton armed themselves for the purpose, and were lookout for Carter, They overtook him night, at Jim Clark's ‘an Buren county, and of a mile beyond Rock of the Kentucky and Sparta road. Understanding the situation, they concealed themselves near by, when Cur- tersoon rode up; and just after he dismounted (perhaps he had stepped into the drinking shop and back again) they fired upon him with double barrelled shot-guns. Carter fell at the first fire, and fired himseif three shots. The concealed men then rushed upon Carter, when he begged them to desist, as he was already killed; but they fired upon him with pistols. Swearing he should not escape this time. He exclaimed; “Oh, my wife aud poor children; ‘what will become of them'’ @ lived only ten or fifteen minutes. These two men were the only participants in the tragedy. Steakley and Sempleton are still at large, and stow 10 desire whatever to evade an arrest. They are both young men, and under the mediam size, and do not look, talk, nor act like they committed any crime.—Nashville Union « American, 3d. 87 The next step in the solution of the lay estion in the M.
