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*

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.

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, *

"Well, that's what I've thought of but
