fm N ' I ** ? . t with an awful cm&, that shook ?vary heaso in % the oity, and capped the greatest alara and excitement. In an instant astonishment and honor were depicted in every face, and soon " hundreds were running with breathless haste to the locality of the sad occurrence. A scene ,i there met the eye that censed the stoutest heart to qoadl The two story brick building need aa the labratory was blown to the smallest atoms, and the debris were scattered for several hundred yards aronnd. All the men and womenernployed in the building at the time had been hurled to instantaneous destruction. Shockingly mangled bodies of both sexes lay around in the most frightful and horrible positions?being blackened and disfigured so as to almost defy identity as human beings! One man had a leg torn off and his brains literally blo#n oat The body of a poor girl was hanging by one foot to the limb of a tree; she was evidently dead, but her clothes were still burning. Other bodies were blown to the distance of from fifty to one hundred and fifty yarcU and presented a mutilated and most shocking appearance. The packages of powder and shells were yet continually exploding, as the fire of the burning ruins reached them, and many who attempted to go nearer, in order to render assistance, if needed, were thus warned to desist until the danger was over. In a short time many of the friends and relatives of the unfortunate victims were on the spot, and scenes of the most affecting and heart-rending character took place as the awful fatality was known. Only two out of twenty-one young women are known to be saved? twenty-nine'bodies, through the humane exertions of the Mayor and his attendants, have been gathered together for burial. Some of them have not been recognised, so severely have their features and bodies been distorted. The other buildings of the Arsenal were comparatively unininred. but som? nf t.h? Hwallinn* ? # ' ?- - "fb" in the immediate vicinity were considerably damaged. Their oecnpants had a wonderful escape, and were terror stricken for hoars after .the occurrene. V"' A cry for Peace. The Boston Pilot of the 25th ult contains an editorial strongly urging Lincoln to offer terms of peace to the South. It says: The President has issued many proclamations which he patriotically believed would be followed by an increase of Unionism in the South. But his manifestoes are spit at and himself derided. Hia documents are of no avail but one ?that of enlarging the spirit of rebellion* Can he mention a single proclamation of his that has realized bis hopes? We should be sorry to impede him in saving the Union. Bat his past experience should tell him now that an armistice should do good. What does the South want! Can he not put a question in this nature f Can he not try the value of a sngestion for peace ? This may not be the highest spirit?it may not be in accordance with the way in which guilty rebels should be treated. But it is prudence. We cannot break the spirit of the South by arms, and. without their spirit in its freedom, their overthrow would lead to nothing. Buough blood has been shed, enough of lives have been lost( enough of desolation to all branches of industry has been done, and enough coercive proclamations have been issued; let us now try the virtue of peace. i i Dying Rich.?When the steamer Golden Gate was going down, off the coast of California, one of the cooks on board gathered up two carpet sacks full of coin and other valuables, and jumped overboard. Of course he sonkfimmediately, and never again appeared at the surface, but he had the satisfaction of dying rich, * . i The mqyer of a diminutive oity, called to consult a legal friend with regard to the method of quelling riotous proceedings, whioh were growing ungovernable.
