recollections of the urchin's time, when the stocking was
nailed to the chimney side and a toy masket swung next
morning at the shoulder of the volunteer. At that time
he was hello soldier and a drummer. When lie went to
see Signor Blitz, or the show-piece of the " Buccaneer of
the Bloody Boots." or took Christmas dinner with grand
mother and his cousins, whom the old lady Write,' of

penhhiOn, Ads Mind gees back to the old fireside in
Philatielptifi, Mid he MOP wearily at the Mount Of

wishes that some good soul at home, bearing in mind his
sell-sacrifice for their safety and the honor of his flag,
would Feud him a nice box of cakes, tobacco, a turkey,
and a Minn bottle wiffeiut a label.
To show that the mothers and sisters have anticipated
the requests of the volunteers, it is only neceueary to visit
the Office Adtuns' Express, in Chestnut street, below
Fourth. The business of that establishment during the
pest week has been prodigious. From morning until
night women and mon may be seen rushing to the coun

some of these women have walked from remote parte

THE - MANUFACTURE OF Oub - rowDEß.—This
is a subject to which consrderable interest, if not im
portance, may now attach. Tuere are not half a dozen
powder-en fie in the loyal States, and the tenure of any
gingle one of them nun a la Aerial existence is a sub.

of Wilmington will 'vouch for.
All the sunruwder now being manufactured in the
United States is a triplicate compound, composed of in
gredients in the following Dronditious: charcoal 115
parts; saltpetre 75 parte ; sulphur 12.5 parts. For the
beet powder the charcoal is obtained from willow-wood,
which is placed in au iron retort, heated to redness. The
charring of the wood too mach must he occur tingly
oeoided, sod the temperature of the r.-tort is not allowed
to exceed 500 degrees. Th.. charcoal consumed in all o?

are rrinowsi, and, after being tedisadved in water, are
ready for use.
The sulphur is airo required to be freefrom impurities.
The rolls are coeseuuentl) twill, whin the impurities
floating lirinn the surface are skimmed off. After be
coming fetid, the sulphur is next reduced to a pulvere meat
state and bolted—the saltpetre and charcoal separately
sharing a similar destiny.
The ingredients ere next weighed, and sifted into a
trough filled with relmiring tam when they are well
mixed. Their thorough incorporation is not unattended
with dan g er, and the operation is therefore carried on in

burn Las aderessed the following letter to Bishop Wood,
Of this DRUM', with reference to the recent 4c"44119.0.9u
of 6t. l'aul's Uhurcb by fire:
lily PHAR Sin: Permit me, In common with every
other right-minded citizen, to mingle my regret with your
own, for the mishap which resulted in the burning of St.
Paul's Boman Catholic Church, in the Third ward, on
the afternoon of Tuesday, November 'nth, 1661; and, at
the SHIM time, to express my sincere sympathy with its
large, respectable and worthy congregation. ire the saf
loss they have sustained in the demolition of a favorite
temple. where they mot to worship Almighty God—a 1111.
cred edifice that was, at once, an ornament to the popu
lous and arilty neighborhood in which it was located,
and one of the handsomest architectural structures de
voted to the Christian religion in our beautiful and loved
metropolis.
Aware that this unfortunate disaster has createl
marked public sensation, and knowing that everything
in relation to it is of the deepest interest to the parish
ioners of the church, as the officer selectee by the Mayor
to make prompt and diligent inquiries into all the facts'
and circumstances attending the occtirrencii of every fire
in the city of Philadelphia, I have deemed it to be my
duty to communicate to you the result of my examination
into the cause of this conflagration.
Iu my endeavors in listertnin the erioin of the fire.l
have proceeded calmly and caritimis,y, but actively and
perseveringly, and, if I know my own heart, I have been
fair and impartial. While unduly swayed by none of the
rumors and clamors of the hour, I have nevertheless
listened attentively and patiently to every report and
whisper that was calculated, even in the slightest degree,
to shed any ray f light upon the Case.
In relation to the fire, which is the subject of this coin
munication,_ after a thorough and patient investigation, I
have arrived at the following COTlCladiallti;
First. The lire was not the wont of an incendiary.
Second. The conflagration was accidental.
Third. The disaster was the result of a defect in the
flue of the main heater.
The testimony entirely disproves the current reports
that the lire began in the bell-tower, and owed its origin
either to malevolence or carelessness. Smoke was seen
issuing from the building for fully half an hour before
the flames reached the belfry. When first observed by
persona in the adjacent houses, and by mople passing in
the streets, It was supposed to proceed from a foul chim
ney, and excited no apprehension for some time.
The fire originated in the northwestern corner of the
edifice, between the ceiling and the roof, and near the
flue CiSht.mtitsiz with the Inducted furules. The nexteu
and two boys were engaged in sweeping the church at the
time, and although the fire was slow.y raging in the
cockloft directly over their heads, they were utterly un
conscious of its existence, until a citizen came into the
Lending freni the street, and informed thaw of the den_
stet.. At that moment, and for several minutes after
wards, no fire was visible anywhere, but the smoke could
be distinctly observed, and the roaring and crackling of
the flames were plainly perceptible to the ear.

fire, either wilfully or recklessly, in the locality where it
commenced. This place was a dark and almost hermeti
cally sealed cavern between the regular or outside roof
and the false e r inside roof.
The Are was, In my opinion, evidently caused by a
defect in the furnace flue which was surrounded by wood
work. The objection to this theory is, that the confla
gration happened on Tuesday, and there had been no fire
in the building, according to the statement of the sexton,
sinoe the kiweedli,ii Rid , ,lay.. T 1 a gat/4'41 LiAtilltA that
he kindled fire in the main furnace, for' the first time this
season, on Saturday evening, and kept it going all Satur
day night, Sunday, and Sunday evening—allowing it to
die out by Monday morning
I bee. be doubt that while the fitimene fire was in full
Oast, a Fortner, of the woodwork in close proximity to
the flue, ignited, and the fire, from its confined situation
and the leek or draught, smouldered until Tuesday, when
a strong wind front the northwest, which prevailed that
day, mnetratine the erevicea of the building, accelerated
Its slow progress and suddenly fanned it into flame.
The hot-air furnace is aeloora altogether safe, even
when the utmost scientific care and greatest mechanical
skill are beetowed upon its construction, and its intro
dveileie into any building is alwAyi. tendiglit with asses
or lees danger. If the furnace itself is secure, and the
flues are built of sufficient capacity for carrying off the
smoke and heat, the latter are continually liable to be
come defective from the action of coal gases on the
cement of their masonry. flow weed is affected by am
commit operation of caloric is now well known. The
process of dcsiecatien will go on for hours, days, weeks,
mot the, and even years, and finally end in spontaneous
combustion. It has been clearly established that, by
lobk sepesara la heat, timber is lotineht to such a eon'.
&firm that it will take fire without the application of a
light or epark.
Allow LE., in conclusion, to express the hope that the
church of St Paul may soon rise, Phoenix-like, from its
i isbes,' all eke belyyhtat and purer from the fiery ordeal
through which it has passed.
'Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
