Thau yester day never was It wore animated; than last night never was It more Ray. Tho cross-grained pre dictions which, from time to time, have appeared that the "City by the Sea" would have to record ituclf a failure in 180.arc meeting with deserved refutation in the cumulation of all those elements and circumstances which go to make tho success tf a place of summer resort. The trains which arrived here yesterday and the day preceding were thronged. Fashion, beauty, wealth, and plcanurc, as if started by some sudden impulse, sent their hundreds to greet Old Atlantic upon this smooth beach. Upon the porticoes of the hotels are congregated this morning far more than .i 1 number of guests; all is life and lailgh- ... .. ,.1 nniii-'matioll ot coining. With fruition of nre'sent pleasure. gic a cheery ring t' each voice and a sparkle- to each rye. Yesterday many came with tint special pur rose of participating in the grand ball that vhrti in honor of the. Philadelphia Kins Zouave., 1-nt the United Slate Hotel last night. Major (ienrral (ioorgc C Meade, accompanied by his wife and son, Captain II. larnsworui. i . . A Aulc-dc-caniitloCcner.il Meade, Colonel J. I'"' Brace. Paymaster U. S. A., and a number of other military men.rc.iched here in the morning. Ocncral Meade, alter taking a ride along the fccuch, was escorted to the pal lors ol the L nned Plates Hotel, and at a o'clock he was honored with a formal reception, conducted under the auspices of Major S. B. Wylie Mitchell, Surgeon Martin Ricr. Major Carstairs, Captain K. V. Shields, and other olliccrs of Hie Fire Zouaves, and Select Councilman Kersey. Common Coun cilman Joseph B. Hancock, James X. Kerns. Ej., and other civilians. During the reception an orchestra, under the direction ol Pinion llas-ler, rendered -Hail to Ifae Chief.' At 7 o'clock last evening the Zouaves assem bled in dress parade, on the broad plot of ground near their tamp. Everybody on the island went to witness the spectacle. The press was great the multitude thronging upon the very ranks of the Zouaves that they at times found some difficulty in their mano uvres. The scene waf beautiful" Everybody was well pleaded. Aj.ropo to the parade come- the prominent feature in tlie camp of the Zouaves. Directly l-ack of the smaller lent-, towering over them, a pyramid to sand hills, rises the huge dining tent of the regiment, .o extensive is it. so many tables and benches does It contain, that under it the whole command can eat '-rations" at one and the same time, and room is yet left lor the teatiEg of visitors or guests. The review of the regiment by General Meade was auother occurrence gratifying to the Gene ral, the men. and the spectators who witnessed it. Company F wa s detailed by Colonel Sellers to act as a guard of honor to General Meade and staff, lrom the United Suites Hotel to the camp. The company proceeded from the camp, headed by the Zeuaveband, drew up in front of the hotel, received the General with preseuled arms as he ntrrcd his carriage, and then escorted him to the camp. He was dressed in full uniform, 1't.on reachintr the lield. he at once took his rositiou. and the review and inspection pro reeded. Afterwards, bv his request, the regi ment was put through Ahe battalion drill. Company A. of the Zouaves, then went through the Zouave drill, comprising company movements and bayonet exercise, in his pre tence. The evolutions of the company elicited rreat applause, and the General complimented them. Adjutant Clement R. See was then presented with a handsome silver pitcher by the Manhattan Club. But everything else was eclipsed by the reccp- tion ball at i the United States Hotel, General II. H. Bingham acting as Mastsr of Ceremonies. This well-known and favorite Louse has not seldom been the scene of hops, soirit. and balls, memorable for their pleasure and brilliancy, but never did its walls compass an entertainment of the kind at all comparuble to that of last evening, or eho the voiceb of au assembly as splendid in appearance as that which tripped it there on the 'light fantastic. The room was tastefully and abundantly, uo to fay profusely decorated, with Hags and bunt Ingof our national colors, and here and there was suspended some military device or emblem in honor of the soldiers to whom the ball was tendered. From the frout of the hotel, also,llags and banners rose and fell in the ocean's hrceae. and rustled their folds in unison with the strains of music that wafted from the windows. The majority of the participants on the floor were iu full dress. Many ol Philadelphia s lair oarue and pretty demoiselles were there. The grounds. also, surrounding the hotel were brilliant. The lawns In front and iu the rear of the house were lighted picturesquely and erratically by myriads of Chinese lanterns. . At t o'clock the bail-room w as thrown open. Iu a brief while every seat was occupied. General Meade, accompanied by his staff, entered a half hour later, promenaded nee around, and then took a position at the head of the apartment. Tile hundreds there who had waited his arrival to open the time of plea sure fell into promenade line, and to the music, of the orchestra filed past him. At 11) o'clock Uie dancing commenced. lit every respect the ball was a perfect suc res't. Unquestionably It was the most brilliaut that ever took place at Atlantic City. When General Meade and staff entered, the Philadel phia Fire Zouaves' band, which was present, performed 'ilail to the Chief." The dancing music was rendered by Hassler's and Carl Kenlz' combined orchestras. In the absence of iencnilJoshua T. Owen, who was selected as mabterof ceremonies, Brigadier-Geuc.ral Henry 11 Bingham, Postmaster of Philadelphia, acted. Among the Itoor managers were Colonel James Page, .lames N. kerns, William II.

An English paper, Just received, contains the following: On the mornlnir of the 2lst nil iiui o'clock, another terrible explosion occurred In the 'Queen" pit. llaydock, near 8t. Helens, the scene of the explosion In December Jast, when some twenty-six lives were sacrificed. Messrs. liiehard Evans A: Co. are the proprietors. The pit has been worked about ten vears. It ls 2ii0 yarcs deep, and is worked In two seams, known as the Wigan nine feet und the Kavcnhead main dell. The explosion of last year took place in the former; as yet it has been Impossible to a orlain with anv degree of certainty the ito of the still more appalling calamity which took place yesterday. Ordinarily some :$00 persons arc employed' nt this pit, but latterly the number of colliers has varied lrom 150 to '200, owing to the lepi-c-sion In trado. The Liverpool Coiirnr of the 2-M ult. says that though two explosions have now taken place In this pit.it has never been considered a dangerous one. Miorilv liclore tlie llrst occurred the undcr- lookcr visited the exact spot where the ignition took plui-v, everything being then apparently pale, and no indications whatever nro said to have hceii percciwd of the second disaster pre vious to its cici uircncc. It is alleged that the usual Inspections hae been regularly made up to yesterday morning, when the pit was reported all'rlght belorc the men descended. Work was commenced at ti o'clock in the morning. The exact, number of workmen who were lowered Into the pit ls not vet known. being variously estimated at from 150 to 1,0. Though apparently of a terribly violent charac ter, the explosion seems to have spent ltsell In the internal winkings. Nothing whatever had been disturbed at, the mouth of the pit, and happily tint means of communication were left entirely unimpaired. Everything proceeded hi the ordinary maimer till "about live minutes past eleven o clock. At that time a banksman named Thomas Taylor, who was working near the mouth of the pit, had his attention attracted tiv a volume ot smoke ami dust wtiicii was sud denly ejected from it, and at once con jectured that, something serious had occurred. A girl standing near him was thrown backwards by the gust, but was not inpireil. An immedi ate conference of the workmen employed out side took place, and w hile u messenger was tics- patched lor Mr. Isaac Hillings, the uiiderlooker, repeated signals were sent to the bottom of the shall, but were unanswered for at least live minutes, when ii young man came up and brought, the sad Intelligence that a frightful ex plosion had occurred. In a very short time the neighborhood of the pit was thronged by crowds ol men ami women in the w ildest state of ex eitemeut, imploring information respecting the late ol relatives or Irteuils employed there. Mr. Isaac Hillings, uiiderlooker, at once organ ized a stall of searchers, aiiiotig the earliest volunteers being John Haines and James I.ea- thcrbarrow. The exploring parlies commenced their perilous operations aboul I o'clock, from which hour till early this morning lllly or sixty men have hecu continuously at work. In relays displaying (he mod commendable anxiety to do everything in their power to save life. Evi dence of Ilie Irightfuf nature of the explosion was soon met with. The airways and stoppings were Ituiiul to be extensively damaged, llui wagons were iu many eases blown to pieces. and the lirsl. and second party ol searchers mioii reported thai I he v bad met with more than twenty bodies iu tin- main dell. Twciily-llircc carts wcie ohtaiiicil, ami In these over sixty sullercrs sent up lrom the pit-eye were carefully taken to their own homes. Only two of this large number of injured were siillering from uui ns, one ol whom, a hov, lieing since dead, the rot having been more or less nlfectod by the choke-damp. The proprietors were in Manchester when the explosion took place. A telegram was lorwarded to them, and In the course of a few hours Messrs. Joseph and Joslah Evans hurried to the spot. Telegrams were also despatched to Mr. Miicld, the county coroner. and to Air. Peter lligson, the (iovernnient In Krtpotdl for the dial I'iet 1 ti fril'ln 1 oir thf.tn of tlwi catastrophe. Mr. Mercer, of the Park lane col liery, and .Mr. Chadwlek, the surveyor, remained tor fiomt, limn fit tlie lilt-el'. aiim,rlitfeiilmr the labors of tlie exploring parties. It is said that the uiiderlooker made a thorough inspection of the various workings on I uesilay, reporting them to be in good working order. When our reporter left the pit last night, he was informed thai, thirty-three bodies were lying at the lilt eve; but, it was greatly feared the list of dead would at least reach tortv.

Our Texas exchanges continue to bring us ac counts of the unprecedented devastation occa sioned by the recent Hoods. The corn crop on all the lower bottomlands along the San Antonio river, and though tlie crop is geuerally made, it will prove damaged beyond computation. All the cotton on the bottom lands, it is believed, has been inundated, mid iu some instances, de stroyed. Kences have In many instances been swept oil'. Many of the ranche houses on the river hunks were in water four and six feet deep, and those in tho bottoms back from fhe river have been well-nigh submerged. Tho cattle in the bottoms are reported iu a hogged-down con dition to quite an extent. Such 'was especially the case at (iraytown aud vieiuity. The streams in Atascosa aud Frio counties were never known to be so high. The damage done is limited, and so far as heard from no lives had been lost, the people geuerally making hasty (light to tho hills. Tho AuMin State tliwtte re lates the following Incident: About nine miles below us on the river, iu the neighborhood of Mr. Coalson, a widow lady, name uot remem bered, with six small children, driven from her house, which was swept by the high water, took refuge in a tree with all her little ones. As the Hood brought nlong fence rails aud drift-wood, she caught them and constructed a sort of raft around the tree, so that when one of her chil dren slept and loll it was caught by the platform below. Here the heroic mother, with all her precious treasures, remained tor twenty-four hours, until Mr. Coalson constructed a boat and took them all safely to the shore. The loss in the valley of the Guadalupe will be very heavy, though cotton only partially" sub merged seems to be- still grow ing. It is thought the cotton-worms iu the valley were drowned out. The Rastrop Adrer tist r 6nys that the destruction to property has been great: many fanners have been stripped of cottoii and corn, thousands of rails, some few houses, aud any number of cabins. Furniture, clothing, provisions, aud valuables of all kinds followed in the wake of the resistless tide. Hundreds of freedmen were forced to take refuge In trees, and children were lashed to trees. In which condition they remained twenty four hours or more before assistance was given by parties In skiffs. But it would fill many columns to recite half that has been told of the thrilling eveuU connected with the Hood that occurred iu the river bottom. The crops in that county will be about half destroyed. A strong appeal has been made by tlie (ialvcston Chamber ot Commerce for the relief of the sufferers. Relief committees are to he organized In every county, with a central committeo at Galvestou. Only ll Year.
