CITY BULLETIN.
A CALAMITY IN THE SECOND
WARD.
Frightful Explosion and Loss of Life
Heavy Loss of Property
About o'clock this morning, the Southern par
of the city was thrown into a state of consterna
- - - •
Lion, by a frightful explosion at the Machine shop
of Messrs. Merrick & Sons, on tho South side o
Washington avenue, (Prime street,) between
Fourth and Fifth streets. One of the huge
boilers which supplied the steam power for this
extensive establishment exploded about th e
hour named, killing and wounding a
number of the workmen employed in the place
and 'if molEliiig a considerable portion of the es
tablishment. Our reporters reached the spot no
twig after the occurrence of the accident and found
a vast crowd of people, the majority being women
and chi.dren, collected in front of the works on
the adjacent streets. Every tongue was busy
in discussing the affair," and many
among the concourse looked anxious and excited,
their husbands, brothers or sons evidently being
among the hundreds of workmen employed in the
unfortunate establishment. Many theories were
rife as to the cause of the explosion, and the usual
exaggerations prevailed as to the numbers killed
and wounded. The police were promptly on,the
grourA. and kept perfect order among the multi
tude, which occupied every spot for more than a
equate in front of and around the works.
Under the guidance of officer Barton, our report
ere visited the immediate scene of the calamity.
They found one of the most terrible illustrations
of the power of the giant Steam which has ever
been seen in this city. The boiler shop no longer
existed, a mass of ruins representing it. The
boiler which had exploded was rent to ribbons,
portions of it having been thrown towards all
pouts of the compass, though the mass of the re
mains were V be found almost fifty feet in a south
easterly direction from the original location.
A second b tier, adjacent to the one which
exploded, and of equal size, was lifted bodily
from its position as though it were only of a
feather's weight. In the quadrangle in which the
toiler shop was located, the ground was covered
with pieces of iron, bricks, and debris of all kinds.
The slate roof of =the -immense blacksmith
shop was perforated. 'with a thou
sand holes, and in some places great
plates of iron were rolled together like a scroll.
.The "smoke stack" was blown bodily on to the
roof of one of the machine shops, Its weight par
tially crust ing the roof in. In the machine shops
anvils, hammers, axles,wheels, bricks, /sc., were
strewn about as if Titans had been at play, and in
their sport had flung huge metallic projectiles
around the works. In one place we saw a piece
of a massive iron girder. which had killed a man
in its court e, atter the girder had been broken to
iragmer is by the force of the explosion.
At the time of our visit the firemen were actively
engaeed in quenching the slight tire which the ex
plosion had caused among the ruins near the
boilers, and the traces of the confusion Were, being
efftcientty removed under the direction of the pref..
A prierors of the establishment, •
- .
A large police force. under the Charge of Chief
Ruggles and several of the Lieutenants, were early
upon the ground, having been summoned by the
Ir , cal telegraph. Mayor Henry also visited the
scene of the disaster.
THY EXPLOSION
occurred at fifteen minutes before 9 o' clock.
There were three reports heard and immediately
the air was filled with pieces of the boiler, bricks
and other articles. The boiler and its mate were
situated in a hollow square formed by the buildings
composing the establishment. The boilers were
horizontal tubular ones, and the one which ex
ploded was new, and had been used but three .or
four times. It bad been tested with 75 pounds of
steam but this morning was running with 55
pounds. The boilers were 12 feet long, 8 feet Wide
and 9 feet high and were of 25-horse power.
The boiler-house,whch was only about large
enough to cover the boilers, was completely de
molished. It was a fire proof building with iron
girders. The laver were shattered to pieces and
scattered about the premises.
By the explosion the end of the pattern-shop was
stored in, the side of the boiler-shop was de
molished—the slate roof of the smith-shop was
completely riddled. The main building, which is
the foundery, located at Fourth and Federal
streets, had all the glass destroyed and the gable
end was knocked down. A large smoke stack over
the boiler, was thrown high in the, air, and came
down in the pattern shop.
The establishment of Messrs. Merrick & Sons is
very extensive, and covers the entire square,
bounded by Washington, Federal, Fourth and
Fifth streets. Some seven hundred men were em
ployed in the place, and by the disaster are thrown
out of employment for the present. The firm was
engaged principally on Government work, and
will be obliged to cease operations until a new
boiler can be put op.
The loss by the destruction of property cannot
e estimated as yet, but will probably reach quite
a heavy amount. .
THE MILLED.
Joseph Weiser, who was employed in the black
smith shop, was standing just inside of the door.
He was struck upon the head by a piece of one of
the girders of the boiler-house, and was instantly
killed.
Daniel McLaughlin. the engineer, had half of
his face blown off. He resides on Juniata street,
in the neighborhood of Fourth and Reed streets.
Patrick Brannan the fireman was also killed. He
resided on Carpenter street between Fifth afid
Sixth.
John Dougherty a laborer residing on Tenth
street below Ellsworth.
Charles Webb, a carpenter residing at Front
street and Palm's alley.
John McGowan, residing at No. no Federal
street.
Edward Banan, residing at Eighth and Cross
streets, was injured about the body and had both
arms fractured. He was taken to the Pennsylva
nia Hospital where he died about half•past ten
o'clock.-
THE WOITEDED.
We are nnable to give to-day a correct list of all the
persons `ho were injured by the accident. A great
many were slightly hurt, and walked away before
their names could be ascertained, and others were
hurried off to tbeir.homes. The ambulances of se
veral fire companies were early upon the ground,
and were employed in removing the wounded.
We append a list of those who were injured as
far as could be ascertained up to the ho ur of going
to press:

street, was badly cut in the side by a flying mis

when they can't take care of one as she ought to
be with cotton flannel forty cents a yard and flour

shapes for Spring wear arel now ready. Gen
tlemen are respectfully invited to call and examine
them. It - is believed that the styles now being of
fered will prove very pleasing. The brims are
made "narrower than heretofore, conforming
in this respect to the best fashions
of London and Paris, and in com
pliance with the expressed wish of many
Who give attention.to matters of dress in this city
as welt as in New York. Broader brims will be
kept in stock, or made to order for those who desire
them.
The prices of silk, as well as felt hats, have
necessarily advanced. Nearly every article en
tering into their construction being either prepared
or produced abroad, can consequently be bought
only with gold or its equivalent. Such is the en
hanced cost of material and labor that the very
lowest grade of silk hat (when made oftnelo stock)
cannot be retailed for less than five dollars. Every
endeavor has been made to maintain .the quality,
and to keep near to the prices of the times pre.
ceding the rebellion.
Present prices for fine dress hats are now $6 and
$7. For blocking or refinishing hats an increase of
price Is also made necessary.

The Times correspondent writes:
The rumors EO thickly flying about that General
Meade is to be removed, may as well be set at rest.
It is now understood as a settled matter that
General Meade will be retained in command of the
Army of the Potomac, more firmly fixed in posi
tion than ever.
A few days ago. Sergeant Fish. let Connecticut
Cavalry, while on picket near liartwood Church,
was captured by rebel bushwhackers, and shot
three times with his own pistol, and left for dead
at the roadside. He was subsequently, brought
into camp, but no hopes are entertained of his
recovery. Three other members of the same regi
ment were wounded the same day, and two others
captured.
Several troopers belonging to Dahlgren' s com
mand, captured near Richmond, have succeeded
in effecting their escape and rejoining their regi
ments.
Frank Blair will resign his seat in Congress on
the 20th, and immediately proceed to join his corps
in the Southwest.
Lieutenant-Colonel A. S. Austin, Chief Com
missary of Subsistence, cavalry corps, Army of
the Potomac, has been sentenced by court-martial
to be dismissed the service. The sentence has
been approved by General Meade.
LETTER FROM TEE 104 TR PENNSYLVANIA.
REGIMENT.
[COrrespondenee of the Doylestown Democrat.
Mounts ISLAND, S. C., March 24, 1:81.—Col
Davis is now in command of all the troops on thi
island, the most important post on the Atlantic
coast. Por prudential reasons I will not mention
our present aggregate of men equipped for duty.
It would, if known, surprise our rebellions friends,
as well as friends at home.
The men of the regiment are now doing heavier
and more arduous duty than eye r before, owing to
the great diminution of the force on the island con
sequent upon the departure of the veterans for the
North; but they do not murmur, for it is all for the
Union.
We have in our midst at present a full•sized
Commissioner from Pennsylvania, the Hon. Seth
C. Hurd, a fine old gentleman, who, in the Fre
mont campaign, stumped tee Eastern States for
the Pathfinder. He comes to us clothed with full
authority from the Governor to investigate and
report to the State Department the condition of the
Heystoneregiments. His is truly a noble mission,
for the gallant old State has suffered in the past
from this very desideratum.
The veterans have been mustered for three more
years. They number one hundred and eight men.
They have written by this act their names high on
the roll of fame, and their devotion to our distracted
country will always be honored and appre
ciated.
The regiment is not now unrepresented by a fid
Lieutenant. Commissions have arrived for the
following named non-commissioned officers: Ser
geant Joe M. Wyatt, Co. A; Sergeant Henry Wid-
Wield, Co. it: Sergeant Cnarles Itlichener, Co.

The famous 30-pound Parrott that has thrown
so many destructive shells into Charleston, has at
length gone the way , all guns go when fired too
often, namely, collapsed. The gun has been fired
4,615 times, almost incredible, but nevertheless a
fact. Our friends on the opposite side of the chan
nel still maintain, by cannonading us, their diver
sity of sentiment, and their small, pale flag still
waves over Sumter's ruins. Occasionally a reb
is seen groping his way along the ruins of the
hither wall, but his presence isnot long visible.
We have been having most terrible weather for
the last few days—frequent showers of rain, and
the wind blowing a constant gale, and as we gaze.
out upon the ocean and see the huge waves sub=
merging the decks of the monitors, ourhearts sym
pathhie with our friends of the Navy.
Capt. Harry Pickering, , Co. K., is now on the
Staff of the Colonel Commanding, occupying the
position of Assistant Inspector Iteneral. Capt.
Harvey now commands the regiment, and is win
ning for himself new laurels by his courtesy to all
under his command.

ALEXANDRIA, VA., April 4. —Rain has fallen
incessantly for the past forty-eight hours. The
streams crossed by the Orange and Alexandria
Railroad have risen to an unprecedented height,
and most superhuman exertions are being made to
prevent the bridges from being destroyed, but the
task seems almost hopeless.
General Lee seems to have' taken it for granted
that the mid Virginia route to Richmond is not to
be abandoned. Strong fortifications are being
thrown up on the south side of the Rapidan, at a
point opposite Mitchell ' s Station,or what is known
as Clark's Mountain. The new works are plainly
in view from our signal stations.

Notwithstanding the prevalent rain storm, the
work of preparation for an active and decisive
spring campaign is going on.' The Commissary
and Quartermaster's Departments here are busy
in refitting and furnishing the army, and the pass

the stirring times of 1561, when the Army of the
Potomac was being formed.
The protracted storm hes swollen the river to an
alarming extent, and serious apprehensions are en
tertained for the safety of warehouses and other
valuable property on the wharves of George

jCort espon den ce of the Cincinnati Gazette.]
' EIEADQ'CAP.TERS AT ST. LOUIE, Mo., April 2
Whether brigadier-General Guitar was removed
from the command of the District of North Mis
souri because of the clamorous demand of the loyal
citizens or net, is a question not to be decided
authoritatively outside of military circles; but cer
tain it is that it is regarded by the loyal citizens,
not only in the district, but throughout the State, as
one of the most righteous acts that General Rose
cran.s has performed since assuming command
here.
The Rolla. District, to which General Guitar is
transferred, lies south of his former command and
runs to the Arkansas border. There are not over
three thousand inhabitants in it, the country being
very rough, mountainous and unproductive. In
some of the counties a few :wretched houses bud:
died together and called a town are the only traces
of civilization to be seen, and the conclusion forces
itself that there is very little to save in the district.
The facilities it offers to guerillas are very great as
far as shelter and concealment are concerned, and
it will become the almost sole duty of the com
mander to dislodge these or prevent their rendez
vousing there to carry on their predatory incur
sions.
General Guitar will be succeeded in the com
mand of the District of North Missouri by Briga
dier. General Clinton B. Fisk, one of the most
faithful and steady friends of the Government and
the Administration now in the service. - General
Fisk has not seen as much active service as many
of our brigadiers, but the able manner in which he
has discharged his duties as post commander in
various places, but especially his military admi
nistration in St. Louis, justly entitle him to the
confidence and praise of all true men. He will
make his headquarters at St. Joseph instead of at
Macon, and he will be accompanied by his staff.
Among the recent events in the North Missouri
District worthy of special notice, are the facts of
the death of Joe Cole, a noted guerilla captain.
by a squad of men under Lieutenant Kempinsky,
and
d nc ra e t i h se e d wa in r
of the
6 n 7th
commenced, Cole, s
Callaway county, at the head of a gang of despe- -
e Ablmorn(mat
ratices and outlaws, ravaged the entire Northern
part of the Sta.e. His name was a
terror. Of powerful organization, brutal pas
sions, and ungovernable temper, he committed
almost every crime on the calendar, and he only
needed the opportunity afforded by the savage
mode of war authorized by the rebels to give a
loose rein to Ills natural appetite for bloodshed and
p I under.
Several efforts were made to capture or kill him,
but without effect, for he was so thoroughly
acquainted with the country, and was so cautious
in his movements, as to completely baffle or elude
pursuit.
Lieut. Kempinsky, with his company, was sta
tioned at Wellsville Montgomery county, in Feb
ruary last, and toward the close of that month sent
out a scouting party to • .beat np" guerillas. The
party heard that Cole was near the Missouri river,
on the border of Montgomery and Callaway coun
ties, and reported the fact to Lient. Kempinsky,
who took ten chosen men of Co. B, marched the
thirty-nine miles from his station to where
Cole was, and reached the house where the gue
rilla captain was sheltered. After surrounding
the house, Lient. K. knocked at the door, and
demanded admittance. As he did so, he placed
his ear to the key hole, and heard the voice
of a woman telling "Joe" to conceal him
self; for soldiers were at the door, which
she delayed to open until the guerilla
had dressed and armed himself.
Cole then ran upstairs and tried to escape through
an upper window, butes he cast his eyes down
ward he saw ten musket barrels shining in the
moonlight and leveled at his bead.. Meantireshille
woman of the house was swearing by all that was
sacred to Lieutenant K. that she did not know
Cole; that he was not and never had been in
h-r house. The officer told her to take some
clothing and leave the house, for he would burn it
up. and straightvray t out for that purpose. The
woman then closed the door and held a brief con
versation with Cole, who descended the stairs and
made his appearanceat the door with a loaded re
volver in each hand_ lie then sprang forward
firing his weapons as he went, but Lieut. Kempin
sky anticipating this had taken the precaution to
draw his men Into the shelter of the house side,and
as soon as the guerilla chief rushed eut. the men
fired, and he fell pierced by twenty bullets It
was not, however, until ho had re :e.ved a death
blow Imm the butt of a musket, that he ceased to
use his revolvers.

LIVIN.GSTON, TEN"..i., March 27, 1864.—Colons
S (ace. Commanding at Sparta, Tenn.: DRAI: Sun
Colonel, rumor informs me that I and my com
mand will be allowed by yon to appear at Sparta
and take the oath of allegiance to the "United
States," and in regard to that, Colonel. I wish to
fairly understand whether all this is false, or done
in order to deceiive me. Colonel, if you will assure
me that myself and men will be allowed to take
the oath and return home, or',' Colonel, if not con
trary to your orders, 1 had rather take a parole
and be exchanged as other prisoners. I prefer the
parole.
You will be good enough to let me hear from you
as coon as possible; and I will consult my men,
and I am sure all will be right
Colonel, I consider that I am not to blame for
the kind of warfare that is carried on in this coun
try, between the few Confederate soldiers and
your command, and if you require it, I will give
you a lull explanation of the Calf-Killer affair,
which I am satisfied will give you full satisfac
tion on my part.
I am, Colonel, very respectfully, your enemy,
JOHN M. HUGHES,
Col. 45th Tennessee Regiment, C. S. A.
P. S.—l do this because I believe it to be the
only way to save the lives of men. As for myself,
it matters noti.. I had as soon die as be disgraced as
a soldier. I - joined the Confederate army to fight
for three yews, and my time will be ont the first of
August next, and. then I am no longer a rebel sol
dier. But it has always been my rule to fill my
contracts, but it seems that I will not be able to fa
that.
If this is agreeable, I hope there will be no more
killing until the thing is fixed up.
J. M. HUGHES.
lINAP QUARTERS U. S FORCES, SPARTA, Tenn.,
March 18, 3864. -J. H. Hughes, Colonel, 25th Ten
nessee Regiment, C. S.A. bin : Yours of the 27th
inst., has just been banded to me by Mr.Yelton.
In reply, I must say that the rumor you allude
to is correct. I stated to some of your friends, (or
at least acquaintances,) that I would pelmit you
and your men to come forward and take the oath
of allegiance to the U. S. Government, and re•urn
to your homes in peace, provided you and they
would deliver to me your horses, equipments and
arms, and were not guilty of murder, robbery or
rape.
a soldier is one thing, and a murderer or robber
is another. This does not apply to raids made
into Kentucky, but to willful and deliberate mur
der or theft.
I have already permitted some of yours and Ham
ilton's men to take the oath who had been in these
raids, and in all the fights since I came here. They
of course delivered up their horses and arms—the
seine I require of yon. They, of coarse, were not,
as I was informed, guilty of any of these outrageous
crimes.
I prefer not to parole any one, but will treat you
and your men as prisoners of war, by sendingyon
around to Camp Chase for exchange, if you prefer
it to taking the oath. As to the Calf-Killer fight,
where my men were so brutally murdered, I un
derstood it was done by some Texan Rangers and
Ferguson's men. I regret very much that it oc
curred, and since that time have taken but few
prisoners. The war of extermination was made
upon me, and I was determined to retaliate.
I assure you that what I have said or written is
not intended to deceive you, and I hope that you
are sincere and honett in what you ask. My
object is to stop the further eflneion of blood, not
that I fear the meeting of your forces or any
others. . You will at once comply with this by
surrendering, 'or the war of extermination will
continue.
Hoping to hear from you soon, I remain your
enemy until you surrender.

• • • 011N33044.10.
.The accounts received of the recent fight at Pa.,
• difeah, in which the rebel Forrest was worsted,
represent valuable assistan,ce.as being rendered the
beleaguered and hard-pressed garrison by a couple
of Federal gunboats, which appeared jest at. the
nick of time. It is certainly something remarkable
in the history of the war in the West how many
engagements the gunboats have participated in,
and how oplionune their co-operation has beeM
Not a few fields of victory might have been the
scenes of serious disaster to the Federniarms. but for
these allies coming at the very crisis to turn the
scale of battle. At 1131mont they saved our re- ,
treating forces. At Fort Henry they gave us the:
enemy's works; at Fort Donelson and Shiloh they
.bore a prominent part; at Arkansas Post and
Ticksbnig they rendered invaluable iticiF -on the-
upper Ohio they secured the capture of John Dior
gan and all his troopers. And now they appear to
be omnipresent to protect our commerce, and
checkmate tho operauous of the enemy upon all
our Western .rivers. Certainty_ one of the moat
fortunate developments of the contest for the
Union has been the adoption of these naval engines
of war, something which, when proposed at the .
beginning of the conflict, was met withmeincoia
siderable share of ridicule.
The promptitude with which gunboats were- en
shied to be brought Into the contest in she West is
owing to the penetration of Fremont when in coin
mend of the Western Department. One of the
first things he did was to make arrangements
for the immediate construction of these ves
sels. His zeal to the gunboat enterprise brought
down upon him no little ridicule, both.
from foes and pretended friends in the out..
set. One of the charges preferred against him,
and which was expected to cut a prominent fig
ure in the war which , was to be prosecuted
against him, was the money expended in con
structing iron-clad gunboats, although the' ones
constructed under his order, as it turns out, are
decidedly the cheapest the government has
secured, besides being about the most
serviceable. It was an experiment, and like
all experiments appeared preposterous in
the eyes of nine persons in every ten. Fortu
nately for the fame of I remont, in shielding his
name 'from obloquy—for as to receiving anything
like credit for these things the persistent enmity of
personal and political opponents has proven an
effectual barrier--the guns of his iron-clads si
lenced all doubts and cavils as to their
efficiency before the walls of Fort Hen
ry. Fremont wasdn command in the West only
one hundred days, and as an evidence of his
capacity for organization, and his clear perieption
of the nature of the conflict which was impending,
we have not merely the proof that he organized an
efficient land force, but constructed a power e tl
fleet of gunboats, the most of which are asr a - •
viceable to-day as when first constructed.
So important an arm of the service have the gun
boats proven to be. that public opinion is now'
fully decided in their favor, and from this time on
we may as much expect a fleet of these vessels to
be retained upon our waters where they can ope.
rate to advantage as for the more pretentious yes.
sell of war to be maintained upon the ocean. Navy
yards for their construction will be required. This
met it behooves St Louis at this time to bear irk
mind.—fit. Louis Demo:rat.
PERSONAL.
Er. H. S. Levert, a well -known physician of
Mobile died recently. The "Levert" name will
be remembered by our fashionable circles from the
distinction which the widow of the deceased, the.
distinguished Madame OctaviaWaltonLevert, nxi.•
parted to it for several seasons in succession.
Mr. Henry Bowman Cromwell, the well. knows
steamship owner, died at his residence In litrook
lyn, on Saturday afternoon, after a brief but ps_in
fril illness. The deceased was a native of NeW
York and 'VMS born on the 29th of August, i 825.
Before he attained his twentieth year he became a
member of the extensive cloth firm of Cromwell,
Haight & Co., of New York, but soon afterwards
was called to Manchester, England, to take a
partnership in the commission house of John
Haight ce Co. of that city, where he remained
until 1E53, Nchin he returned to New York andes
tablished a line of screw propellers to run in con
nection with the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.
This enterprise proving successful, he subse
quently ran steamers to variotfs other places, and
about two years since established a line be'tweeu
