[Correnpondtnco of tbe Pblla. Evening Bulletin.] Washington, April 23,1863 The exotiement attending the closing scenes last evening in the Senate has been the absorbing topic of conversa tion to-day In all circles, and thogencral Impres sion seemed to be that a hostile meeting between Senators Sprague ab‘d Abbott was Inevitable, bat np to this Writing If does not'appear that Abbott has undertaken to put In execution his threats to have ‘‘satisfaction." The whole affair Is con demned by discreet people of all parties; bat from tbe violent manner in which Senator' Sprague has been assaillng'bls associates, hr the Senate lately, a hostile demonstration of some sort was to .be expected, as his. personalities were too brdad and sweeping to be borne in silence, without being resented by some of the Senators to whom they were addressed. Bat Abbott missed his opportunity yesterday, which' was to have replied to Sprsgne at the Instant he com pared him to “a,dog.” . Ho remained client in bis seat, however,’ and at the unseasonable honr of midnight his indignation found vent at a time when Sprague woe temporarily absent. This has rather damaged Abbott in pnbUe estimation, for boasting too loudly In advanoe what he Intended to do. Abbott’s friends say he will in enlt Sprague openly in public, some assert by attempting to horsewhip the latter, bat the friends of Sprague .declare that if Abbott tries this Sprague will shoot him. Abbott was formerly from New Hampshire, and served In the Union army as Colonel of a regiment,and was brevetted Brigadier-Generalfdr good conduct.’ He after-’ wards settled in North Carolina, and practiced law at Wilmington, was a member of the Con stitutional. Convention of North Carolina, and was elected a Senator of the United States. His term will expire Match 4,1871. It was reported to-day that a hostile meeting took place at Bladensbarg early this morning, bat there Was no truth in tbo report. There are parties who are trying to force the matter to ex tremities. and some say that Abbott can never go back to Horth Carolina It he fall to make good bia boast to have “satisfaction" oat of Sprague.

The Fire in tfae Comstock nines—De tailed Account of the Oleaster—*£f- Sorm to Nave the Victim*—Heroic Conduct of Firemen and miners—Wo meri Uegglog to De Permitted to mo Down the Shafts Heart-rending scenes. [From the Sen Francisco Bulletin.] Virginia, Friday, April 3,12.10 P. M.—At 7 o'clock Wednesday morning, the Crown Point men, forty-five in number', went down to their work. Twenty-five of them are dead. Imme dla ely after,the Kentnck men began going down the same shaft The Crown Point foreman went down In a cage with the Kentnck men, and at the 700-feet level remarked a smell more than common. He gave a signal to lower the cage to the 800-feet level; found the men there who had gone down a few minutes before all In confusion. Tho smoke was in creasing and the gas asphyxiating the laborers. He gave a signal to hoist and bring np tho men. There was great contusion and lobs of Ume occa sioned through the men crowding the cage. The ongine worked at the greatest speed in bringing up’ the men. Only twenty-five seconds were ?pent in bringing them trom the 100-feet level to the surface. Men climbed np to the top of the cage to come up. The last men who came up tbe abaft - alive, except Blckel, say they heard men left behind jump down the shaft and fall on the dump. The cogo went down again, and was brought up after the signal was given as rapidly as possible. It con tained George Blckel, who was insensible, bear ing tbe dead body of his brother Richard, whom he had dragged into the cage, but could not sup port him. George never regained consciousness, though every remedy was tried, and died last evening. It was not known at the Fellow Jacket works that anything was wrong, until they wero informed by the men from the Crown Point. The rmoke soon become so dense in tho hoisting works of the latter that the engineers could not see the marks on the ropes. Ail the windows and skylights had to be taken out to enable tho men in tbe bouse to live in tho winzes and shoots. Smoke and gas filled the Kontuck 700-feet level, and came np that shaft in a dense volume. No rmoke came up tho Yellow Jacket, but so much gas was at the bottom that the men could not get below the 000-feet level for some hours. No man In the CrOwn Point 1.000,900, or 2io-feet levels escaped. Some men on the 1,000-feet level climbed np to the 900-feot level. One was found dead half way up to tho 800-feet level, clasping the timber. Another reached the 900-feet level, and then groped 860 feet toward the Yellow Jacket and died. Another 150 feet would have curried him to - the fresh air coming down the Yellow Jacket. AN explosion. The men say that soon after discovering the fire, and before they reached the 800 statipn, an explosion occurred. This Is so. It lifted’the cage In tbe month of the shaft two feet. Super intendent Jones, of the Crown Polnt/sivs there was no powder in the mine; The cause" of the explosion is not known;lt being supposed that the men on the l,ooo4eet level were below the reach of fire, a message was sent down the Crown Point Shaft, written 'on a cardboard, also A light, candles and water, as tho men below would be quite ignorant .of what had occurred) seeing the Tailing cinders, they might think the shaft afire. There were continual cavcb occur ring., The iock w.aft Bp heated that tho firemen could not stand in the drifts, and the water, two Inches deep, boiled on the floor: ’ Other men, when the fire was ; subdued, went by the lower drifts to the foot of tho Crown Point, shaft and sent up tho dead: They found in different places those who had fallen down the shafts ‘so mack mangled as not to be recognizable but by the clothing. Nearly all showed signs of great agony. PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, APRIL 24, 1869. Borne are much cut and braised about the face by striking against jagged rocks or through running In tbe dark. All was done toeneourage them and worn them not to come up. The cage came, back aa it went down. There was no response and tbe light was out. These men were got out by yesterday, dead. VAXK ATTEMPTS TO DESf/EJfD. As soon as it was Safe a descent was made by the Yellow Jacket people, with hoecand firemen, who played on tbo burning timbers in the 800- feet level, bat were' much incommoded by the lights beiDg extinguished for want of air or by explosion. The men conld not find their way. One man, who escaped, hearing a shriek of Bomb one falling, groped on his hands and knees to the shaft. Welch, one of the searching party, be came. asphyxiated, and being brought to the surface, it .was some hours before he was re stored. Tbe gas at the Crown Point hoisting w*rbs was stifling; the engineers were blinded,' and the cage-went up to the sheaves. The men eent.upito clear It fain ted,and others behind them bad to drag them away from (ho fames. The femes’ were terrible. Many men would have risked their lives by going down uselessly, bht they were wisely restrained by the Superintend ent.-or more lives would have been lost. Dis tracted wives begged to be allowed to go down on the cage for their husbands. Ladies even sought to go down the Crown Point and Ken tuck fhails where men conld not live thirty seconds below the 1 surface. a Paetial exploration. Yesterday moralng. by going-down the Yelloty Jacket, along the 900 level, and np the Crown Point shaft, the men sueceeded In reaching the, 800 feet level and groped abont. Ai Station No. 1 men penetrated In the dark 30 fact Into -a drift and found a man sitting on a log, his head rest ing on his hand. Again, last evening, the gas ap<J smoke being less dense in the Crown Point shaft, the foreman and two others tried to get into the; 800 feet level from below. and arranged with the' Crown Point engineer, when a signal eimo from below to . send the cage to them. It was done, and then the signal made to hoist alowly, then to lower, then to try again. At last (hey reached the level sought, but the lights went out, and they could not go six feet from the car. The signal to lower was rcaponded to quickly; when they got back safely to the 900- leet level they sent a written message np by the empty cage, reporting their failure, to the great disappointment of the anxiona crowd. Shortly afterward the men came to the snrface by the Yellow Jacket Shaft- To avoid accident from ibeir losing consciousness before the time to sig nal, it was arranged to lower whenever they ceased signaling. At midnight last night, nothing more being possible on til the mine was clear of gas, and there being no smell of burning wood, only .steamy vapor, operations were suspended. THE PIER BREAKS OUT ANEW. Gold Bill, Friday, April 9, 3 P. M.— About 9 o'clock this morning matters—life excepted— looked more serious than they yet had. Thick black smoke, very hot and charged with, large ciDders, waa coming up the Crown Point shaft, and up the Kentuck steam and poisonous vapor. Men went down in both cages of the Yellow Jacket, but soon had to come back. Either tbe: old fire bad broken ont afresh and was burning more fiercely than ever.or tho Kentuck itself was on fire. Both theories had their supporters, but on the one thing all agreed—there was a fire raging below which endangered all three of the mines. In a few hours at-most" It was expected tbe Crown Point shaft would be In flames. The i ngineere, with every, precaution, could only stand at their places a few minutes at a time. THE SHACTS SEALED. As soon as the men who were In the Yellow Jacket could be recalled, it was determined to seal all three shafts and inject steam. The Yellow Jacket shaft IB now floored over nnder tbe hoisting bouse. The air-tube Is cat off at the month, the apertures filled air-tight, and a threo tnch gas pipe Introduced. This runs several lengths down the air-pipe, and eonveys steam ,oto it at as high a pressure as the air-tube will bear. The olr-tnbe goee direct to the place where the first fire was. The Kentuck shaft Is also flooded over, and men are piling on more dirt wherever a puff of ’ vapor appears. This mine has no air tnbe, and steam Is introduced by »large-slzedgos pipe thirty feet down the shaft The Crown Point is also pealed, and twenty men are piling dirt on the covering. The steam Is also cent down a large pipe into the air tube, as ihat goes to the 1,100 feet shaft and much would condense before reaching the fire. The Superin tendents and the Chief. Engineer of the Gold Hill Fire Department are satisfied' that these meas ures will check the fire, but look upon its reduc tion as tho work of time. THE ORIGIN OF THE FIRE. Until this morning, no one thought there was much dangerof the mines being seriously injured, but the danger at 9 o clock could hardly be over: rated. It is thought there Is fire In the Kentnck 800-feet level. If so,the explosion must have car ried the fire 60 feet through adrift in which there was no timber. The explosion causes many ptrange sqrmises. The origin of tho fire Is doubt ful. it could net have been burning long, be cause three hours before the men had passed through every part, and the carmen were down all the time. It Is very possible some vapor biiherto unknown, at least in gold mines, ignited. There certainly was a severe ex plosion felt both above and below. Hen’s hats were blown off by It. wbo alter wards escaped. Some were probably killed ontright, as in the Ore-damp explosions. Others think the fire broke out from a candle, and the rocky sides of .he drift becoming heated, acted as retorts to dis tilled gas from the pine timbers, a large body of which igDited and so dpread the fire over a great space. All sorts of theories are afloat.' It Is evi dent that something for which there is no pre cedent has happened. It Is a very serious affair for Gold HU) as well as for the stockholders, as some two or three weeks must elapse before work can be resumed; and there will be much caving In the levels where the fire is. No bodies have been got out since yesterday morning. TEBBIBLE BA I a,way CATASTBG FHE. t earful Accident on the Long Island Bailroad-Alx Persona Hilled and Fourteen Wounded—A Bank Presi dent and a Hallway contractor Among tbe Dead—A Broken Mall tbe Cause of tbe Accident. The N. Y. Tribune of this morning says: The regular 10.80 passenger train lor Norths port, on the Long Island Railroad, left Hunter’s Point yesterday forenoon on time, with a train of three can, two passenger ears, one baggage and smoking car, drawn by the locomotive "Thurlow Weed,” and carrying about 100 per sons, between twenty and thirty of them being in the rear car. When a mile' and a half beyond Jamaica, at about 15 minutes past 11, a sudden jar was felt, fol lowed by a crash like the sound of a cannon,and the startled conductor stopped the train as speed ily as possible.' The engine and baggage-car were unharmed. The hind truck of the second car was off the track, but’ no one in it was ln inredf and the car Itself sustained very little dam age. But the third car, which, was still upright and attached to the train, had suffered a singular and fatal accident It was thrown from the track by the broken rail to which the catastrophe is attributed, and the forward truck was in some unaccountable way broken off, and tipped up In such a manner as to lodge between the track and the floor above it. Instead of being stopped by tbls obstacle tbe car rushed on, and the Iron wheels tore through the floor, breaking It to splinters aud ripping the soats from their fasten ings,, and finally knocking off the hind truck, bail only Droken at this Instant the accidool would not have been so ' terrible, but the link , held with fatal tonacity, and for at least fifty , yards fnrthorthe bottomless cage bounded along, grinding the'miserable paeeengors beneath its : cruel edges and strewing tho. horrible mass of blood-stained.rubbish and writhing humanity along the track so that when It finally stoppod OUR WHOLE COUNTRY. it, was entirely empty, only excepting one wretched Woman who lay half under it. The horrified passengers and tbe people of the vicinity hastened to’ the relief of tho sufierere, and every thing was done for them that kind hearts could devise or Willing fingers execute. - The following Is a correct list of the KILUa ffm.

The broken rail is , of English Iron, fifty-six pounds to tbe yard,jmd-7ooks almost new. -The whole track was relaid last September, and the fresh, square fracture Shows not theleast Indication of ago or unsounduEßS. Tbe car. too, had been thoroughly overhauled only two months ago. The rate of speed was only about twenty miles on hour; the roadway is perfectly level, and so singular was the catastrophe In every respect thatthpse most familiar with the place could not imagine how so fatal an accident should take place there. Gardner Hendrickson empsnneled a jury to view the bodies aud the scene of the aceident, but the examination was adjourned to next Monday, at 1 o'clock. Suicide.— Dr. Geo. W.
