Ignition f r.mpli Cm In Vault A ftevcre Explo.lon Enne Three Mt llndly InJnred-WlnUowB, Inrnllnre, and WooU.ork Mialtered. For some time past neither Philadelphia's air sor Ftnladtlrihia's buildiOK bave been shaken by any strious expiotionx, n we uau ucnu w hope that the calamitous results of the last Ones bal given us a lou resoice from their recur lence. This morning, however, at quarter bo lore nine o'cloct another occurred at the United States Mint, on Cuenut '.icet east or Broad. Ihounu particularly severe In its character was lug the entire structure and rumblinir far among the surioundiu ouildinas it did not at once result In auv loss of life. The circumiUa ce attending it were as fjlloe: At the southeastern nnirle of the Mint is located the ollice of the Chief Coiner. In the back portion of this room an extenlve vault Is built in the Vf all. It is some cleht feet wide by fllteen tect long, and has a ceiling about four teen Het in height. Its siilei support numerous shelves and drawers, filled with manuscripts, documents and books. A eas tube, descending to within seven feet ot the floor, hanm from the ccilinp. From this gHB had been escap ing during the night, coming either lrom a leak, or lrom an ouiision In turning off the etop-cock. When the doors of the vault were opened this moiulng tue smell of gas was plainly perceptible, aud it bi found that a leak aome wnere ex bted. Tho door was allowed to stand ajar while a mei-seuuer was despatched for a fas-fitter. In a short time Mr. William Horner, a plumber, arrived. He entered the vault perceived that the gas had been stopped off and then called lor a mutch lor the purpose of making an tKntmnntion. One was banded to him by Alartin D. Davis, the Chief Coiner's assistaut or cU-rk. Horner drew it opon the jam of the door, but had hardly done ao when the explosion occurred. At this mo ment Mr. Andrew 8tiet, an assistant counter, wus silting at a table in tho room; Mr. Homer was just loside the vault; Mr. Davis was stand ing ner by. tsimultuneoubly with the explosion, the ignited gas rushed In flames through the doorway of the vault. They reached Mr. Stief, aud badly singed him about the heaJ and neck, lairly burning also the coat from hu back. Mr. Davis was hurl.-d away Irom the door, receiving Injuries about his head, face, neck, Hiid arms. Mr. Horner was the most severely hurt of the three. In addition to serious burns aboat the exposed portions ot his b,)dy. he was either thrown or leaped from a window immediately adjoining the vault, lie was picked up in the jard beiow with deep cuts upon his head. A trail ol blood ma-ked his pa-sage from the vault, through the window to the ground. Tne ttmgs Inside the vault were all totted about and badly scorched. The furniture in the room was thrown hiiher and thither, the window-panes were fcbiered, a heavily-ouilt door.ailording exit to the hull, was shivered and torn from Its hinges like a piece of veneennsr. The ink-pot on the writing deck executed a somprsaulr, leaving its traces on the walls; while flying pieces of wood deeply indented both walls and ceilintr. Every thing near the door ot tue vault was blickened aud burnt. The whole building shook. Dr. Lindermau, Director ot the !5ut, was sitting at the time in his office directly over the room in which the exptosiou took place, lln first inti mation of the occurrence was a lift of some three feet trom the floor. He rushed to the window, and saw Horner lying in the yard below. The xeport was very loud. In a lew minutes a large crowd ot people collected in the street, and several fire engines hastily repaired to the spot. No fire, however, broke out, as the explosion spent itseli in a moment. Tne structure itself did not sustain any damage. It is supposed flint as there was no circulation ol air through the vault, the escaped gas did not issue through the open door, but amended to the ceilint, aud there collected in a mass. Of course, if this theory be true, the introduc tion of a lighted match would at once set it ablaze, and produce such an explosion as oc curred. The employees in this place wore con siderably alarmed, but no one was injured save th'isc mentioned. These were at once attended to by Dr. J. Kuea Barton. Tbey were all mar ried men. Horner was removed in an arabj limce to the Pennsylvania Hospital. Davis was taken to I113 home at Nineteenth aud WnlUce street; Stief to his home at Six'.h aud Poplar streets. None ot their injuries are considered nccestarily lutal. CITY CRIMINAL CALENDAR.

EXCHANGE OF PRISONERS. Another Letter from Kx-ltebel Conunls Moiier Oulil. RicnMOND. Aug. 27, 18C8. To the Iditc- of the Aalwnal Jnte igencer Gentlemen: The Chronicle ot the 25, h instant gives the following letter of mine, without date, addressed to Gene ral winder: I'iit Point Sir: A fUu-if truce-hotthu arrived Willi set political prisoner, yeueral Barrow and seve ral olLer pioiulneot men amongst llieui.

Brigadier-General Winbkh. The letter Is genome, it was written, I be lieve, In tbe spring of 1803. The Chronioie, fal lowing in the track ot Chipman, who introduced the letter on the Wixz trial, parades It as evi dence ol a purpose on the part of the late Con federate autboritu s to starve Union prisoners ot war. It any fair man will cirelully rea I the letter, be will see in a moment that tbe Utter paragraph, which the Chronicle has italicised, dees not refer to soldiers at all, but to political prisoners. Borne time bilore the dale ot the letter, I bad entered into an agreement with the Federal ae.eut of exchange tor the release of all political prisoners ou both side.'. Some three hundred and dity of that class bad arrived at City Point, and being aoxiou ; not to detain the Federal steamer, I wrote to General Winder to send all the political prisoners he had in his charge, as well as soldiers. It was as to these po litical prii-ouers that I wrote the la-.ter paragraph iu ibis letter. That manifestly appears from the context. Every word ot that pvaurapli was true, both as to the class received and those sent off. Not one Coutederate soldier In service was received at that time. Scarcely any one of the three hundred and tlitvbad been In prison amouih. All hud been recently arrested as sym pa'.h zeis with the Confederate cause. Those seut off were miserable wretches indeed. Tbey wera mosily roboers and incendiaries from Western Virginia, wbo were Confederate when C'a fedeiate armies occupied their country, and Union when Federal Irocps held it; and In turn they preyed upon side and the other, and pilluged that portion ot the country until it was almost given over to desolation. They were men without character or principle, who were ready to take any oath or engage iu auy work of pluuder. And I here reitemte what I wrote then- tbey were "a set of miserable wretche3." Tbe Federal foldiers who passed through my hands, I hope, know well that I would not have applied any such phrase to them, and especially ho it the calamities of prison life had prostrated them. Moreover, I speak of this as "an arrange ment" which 1 bnd made, aud. therefore, must have referred to the exchange of political prisoners, which I had just negotiated, and not to ihe exchnoae ot military prisoners, which, was netotiated by the cartel. The Chronio'e is wrong in supposing that I a'ttrnateiy chareed "the iesoonrdbilitv for the starvation ot Union prisoners" upou Secretary StantoD. General Butler, aud General Grnt. No previous statement of mine varies in any par ticular from the publica'ioo in the lnte'iinencer ot the VOiti instant; nor did any one of them re late tc I everal matters which are contained in that publication. If tbe facta therein detailed itnplica'ed Secretary Stanton, General Butler, and General Grant, or either of them, it is not because I charge them jointly or severally, but b -cause facts are stubborn tutues. I have re trained trom charges or epithets acalost indi viduals, and only brought to the attention of the country the humane endeavors of tho Confederate authorities. My pnrposo was to vindicate the truth of history, and not to asperse or even make an assault unon tbe fume or pretensions ot any man. Tbe Chrotude says Gsneral Httchiock "has cnmpletely overthrown, by the production of proofs, every charge and every insinuation of the lie dpi uommis.ioner uuia." neither Gene rai liitefccork or any otuer person his ever refuted the "material facts," or any material fsct stated in the publication; nor has General Hitchcock nor any o her pe-son even atterantel to do so, as to most of the mat ters therein con tained, lias wenerai uuencock said, anything ar.oui me uonieaeraie oner to receive r eaeni ftirgeons, lood, cloth ng and medicines; or the offer to surrender the sick and woun led without requiring eij'.i'valeuts; or the unuoticel pro posal to ptirensse iucmiviuv lor mo exclusive usg of the Federal sick? TDe C ror.ic'e say I was discharged from attendance ou the Wirz trial because my evi- dnce was upon a Hue of de'ense which the Cour' held to be irrelevant aud incompetent ai a delense for the crne'tiea praeuceu ou our prisomrc" Pray, how was it known what my evidence would be? I was summoned by Wirz. not by the Government. What right had the prosecution to take lor granted what my test! mony world be, and rule it out before it was ollered. I confess I do not belouj; to that class ot lawjet who "are familiar with this procee I- Ine." and most lerven' iy uo i ii'ne i nver wilt As to the imputations of falsehood In which the Chronicle luduUpj, I treat them with the scorn which is.their due. I am content that the people who kuow tne shall judge between us. Respectfully, jour obedient servant, Ro. Ould. JIEA VY LAWS UIT. A Million liollnrm Maimed by n Voimir ttrl. Tte Loolsvll'e Courur of Aug. 28 relates the fnllowni!? remarkable cuse: One of the mo-t extraordinary rises on record it nnw nenctitiir before Judge liruce in the U t- cuit Cour. The tacts connected therewith, so fsr as we ru been able to gather them, are a ffillnii7C- l)r. Samuel E. McKiuley. son of Juda:o McKln ley, lornn rly Judge ol the Supreme Court ot the Minted Mates, ami United HiaieeJudse of this Circuit, w hs residing aud practising his profe-i aiou at New Orleans when that city was captured by the Federal trmy. ns was retained as snr er on for the Confederate sick, and was a it wards tetaloed In the United Mates service. The Doctor married a very wealthy eiress, a Mist M rrison, of 1-oui'ians, by whom ke bat two ch ldren, one a boy pameJ James, who Is tow wiih him In Bt. Loots, Hud ia3 ptber V tie girl, B. J. Lyon McKinley, tlve year of ge. Hit wife dying during the infancy of the girl, the Doctor la 18C4 moved to New Albany, Indiana, taking with him his two children. About a year ago last winter, he moved to this city, where he remained till tome time in 1867, and becoming desirous ot going back to New O leans to look after his property, left hie little daughter at the Ursultne Academy, a Catholic female school in this city, for education, send ing her from time to time monev to pay ker expenses. Before, or about the time of vaca tion, the Doctor having moved and established hini'elf in St. Louis, requested Judge Taylor to send 'by Adams Express his little daughter to h ro, the Expre.'S Company agreeing to under tke the care aud custody of the child. When Judge Taylor applied lor tbe child the Superior of tbe Academy oniected to letting her go till her tuition sbouid be fully paid. The Doctor, on learning thi, declared he bad sent by mail the toll amount, and then came for her himself. His counsel advising him thit the AcaJe-ny could not retain a lien on the child lor their money, he sued out a writ of babas corpus before Im Honor Judge Bruce, and this case, as It happens, is the first brought be ore Julgo Bruce since qualifying as our Circuit Judge. The Superior ot the Academy answerii.g the writ, stated that the girl was named Lizzie Brown; that she was not the Doctor's daughter; that she was fifteen learsof age, and that the Doctor was drunken and unfit to con'rol tbe child. This nw r was yesterday adiudgud In sufficient, ard the respondent was required to state tbe time and the means bt which respon lent ob'atned po-sesion of the child; that a mre allegation that tbe Doctor was not ber fataer wn no ground for respondent to retain ber. While the Poctor was away some two weeks, it seems that the Superior applied to the County Court to become ber guardian, and exhibited, it is claimed, a muted envelope with tbe name of K. J. Lvon McKinley, in which ber father had inclosed money to his daughter this being the true name. It is also alleged he h is letters from the Superior calling her his daughter, Lyon. It Is further said that she has become a Catho lic, contrary to Ler father's wi"hes, who Is an Kpisconaiun, and that she will, at ber grand father's death, become the heiress of more than a million.
