A Direful Calamity Ex,losion of the Laboratory at Alleghany Arsenal. ritionTriuL LOSS OF LIFE Seventy-Five Pnarsons Killed. The Buildings Destroyed by Fire Our community was shocked yesterday afteruoon by what were believed to be exaggerated reports of the most terrible calamity which has ever befallen our city. viz: the blo.i.ig up of the laboratory at the Unit,.d States Arsenal in Lawrence ville, in which all the filling of cartridges. shells. °artiste; grape, &c , is done, and the copsiquent loss of at least seventy-five liv. s, principally of girls employed in the As soon as the cause of the cx ploston, which was distinctly heard in va rious parts of the city, became know n . there was a general rush for the scene of the casualty. l'as.iengcr cars a ere crowd ed. rehhles of every description went cut. d with pm.Freugers. and physicians hur ried to tie stro: with the usual appliances. We went wish the crowd, and found that raality for once exceeded the report. We cannot u , ;einpt to describe the scene, but will endeavor to give our readers some Idea of its horror: h The Lai:oratt ry of the Arsenal was a blllolitig noZon sixty feet by forty, situated near the Green;bnr g turnpike, in what called the Park," lying on the upper /ado of Buth r street. The building was of &sine, built in the slispe_of an E, iuy three aides of n square, one story. -with a covered porch around the inside, from which doors opened into the fourteen apartments ii•to which the home was di aid.-d. Some thirty yards fren the East end was anothg-r boilding, in which was en engine, ir , o-d for heating the laberatory by means of 2 steam pipes. In this build ing w' re ten r;auttnents, used for boxing gdrtridgfs, shot, AO!, 4te. The large theiiding was the only one on the ground in which powder was used, as the cart itigt s he„ Are prepared in the large brick hutidipg itothiti,cr pantie' with Butler St., and other tntuler shops. The magazines rite further up the bill beyond the main building, which stands apart front all the .others.

The -. rule of the laboratory was to re pulse iu the evening all the finished work of the dsy. :to us to av,,id the risk of ex plo.ion as much HA I.oS,ble. In the larger build.tnr on Butler street, some three hun dred bo3 s mud g 4.1: were emplop.d in pre puiing cartridiorg. &e for filling. Pay Day Yesterday wag pay day at the Arsenal, and Pa!muster B , sworth, assisted by Mr. Terse, one of the clerkP, was paying the hands emit , Yell in 'he laboratory. Some Et6y had been ',aid, and only three out of the t.umber mentioned above had failed to am-tier to their ',tunes ; eo it is more than probable that-nearly all were in the build trig at the time of the 'accident, and per haps others, as there was constant going t‘ , fro butt eeu the different depart ments. The Explosion Ocaurrfd at about two o'clock, and was distinctly heard in the city, (shaking se veral of the buildings ) and as far up the Id °nougat-la river as Port Perry, at which point the smoke was seen. The cause is net precisely known. One account says it was °cm-lined by the explosion of a slit 11, a timber of which, being sent off for 'shipment. fell and caused a con eursiun tthich exploded one. Others allele that it was occasioned by friction of came potttls r from one or three barn is unloaded upon the porch of the ; laboratoiy-, by a man named Frick, tilio had brought it front the magazine, at si who was somewhat i, jured by the ex plosion. It is well aettleu, however, that the first explosion took place outside and communicated to room No. 1, where little damage was done beyond setting fire to the clothing of one or two of the girls, who fed in consternation and gave the alarm, causing a stampede for the doors. Many got out, and then, it is alleged, some per sona used tht ir - endeavors to induce them to return, nod succeeded in getting some to go _ IMeli - , -- belleving the danger to be over. Some reamed in search of their acquaintances and while they were in slue a second expicsion took place, nearly lice minutes af , er the first. 'rhis, we are Informed. rnisvd the roof from the build. jug, which fell in, burning, and wasprob ably the occai•ion- of so much loss of life. Almost siottiltrtheourly with this, another fxrhoion way heard in the engine bald• tug, and it also took fire. the Conclusion. So great was the force of the explosion hat fragments from .the laboratory were -owu huudreds ot feet. Shreds of .g were found in the tree tops.-- Tim e of the lower building in Cite Perk, the store house, were shattered 1—•Iipo time of • dwelliag I eine in e , near et T an I turnpike. In Mr. Campbell's house, to the East of the Park, the windows were broken and the shock was plainly felt= and in Mr. Davis' house,, near by, the fettenings were brokon from all the doors by the powerful concussion. The Mares Soon reached thecity, the fire bells were rung vigorously and the engines were on the ground as early as circumstances per- mitted. The Vigilant, we believe, threw the first water. The steamers worked well and the remains of the buildings, which, being of frame, burned very rapid ly. were soon sufficiently cooled to permit an investigation of the ruins and the num ber of sufferers. The Seene of Inensiter. Of the main building nothing remained but a heap of smoking debris . The ground about was strewn with fragments of char red wood, torn clothing, bails, caps, grape shot, exploded shells, shoes, fragments of dinner baskets belonging . to the inmates, steel springs from the girls' hoop skirts. cartridge paper, sheet iron, melted lead, &c. Two hundred feet from the labora tory was picked up the body of one young girl, terribly mangled ; another body was seen to fly in the air and separate into two parts; an arm was thrown over the wall; a foot was picked up near the gate; a piece of skull was found a hundred yards away, and pieces of the intestines were scattered about the grounds. Some flea out of the , ruins covered with flame, or blackened and lacerated with the effects of the explo sion, and either fell and expired or linger ed in agony until removed. Several were conveyed to houses in the borough and to their homes in the city. Of these four or five subsequently died, The Removal of the Redlea. As soon as the flames subsided the crowd which had collected set to work to remove the bodies from the debris and in the cow's.) of an hour at least forty bodies had been taken out 4nd laid upon boards in groups for identification. Never have we seen such an appalling spectacle. Bodies, charred and swollen, were scat tered here end there over the sward, some mere limbless trunks, blackened and bloody—some with the limbs remaining. Out distorted, and the flesh hanging from the bones in strips. Here was a pile of undistinguishable fragments—here two si,t-rs, one dead, the other in the last ago vies—here a father and daughter—here vivo children whose names were known, but the parents could not distinguish one from the other. Nearly all the dead bodies were those of feanuirii, but only a few could be identified by their rem - tires—some were recognized by the place in which they were found and one was discovered by her false teeth—some had apparently died in great agony, from the contortions of their limbs, while the arms of some were folded as if in resignation to their fate. The Crowd - - Was immen.. and constantly increased until the grounds were thronged with curious visitors. Some were saystied with a brief stay in that sickening atmosphere, charged with the peculiar odor of burning human flesh, but others lingering about, giving assistance where they could and talking over the horrible details. Incidents'. • Samuel Longbery was seriously wound ed by the second explosion. He had just deposited a keg of powder in the room where shells and large projectiles were filled, when he was knocked down and badly burned. He resides ou Allen street, Lawrenceville. We saw one woman who had been throWn against a wall violently in whose I body was a whole cartridge, Minie ball, powder anti paper. Mr. Mcßride, foreman of the labora tory, ran out at the first shock, and making his way to one of the magazines, the door of which had been left open, closed it, and thus perhaps saved greater disaster from its explosion by the burning fragments from the laboratory. On hm return he was thrown a distance of thirty feet by the second explosion. Paymaster Bosworth escaped after the first explosion, a good deal stunned, but not seriously injured. Mr. Jzio. A. Geary, foreman of rooms 13 and 17was in front of the engine -room when the 1;, was occurred. Hear it g the cries of. the girls, he proceeded to the midi, building, where he met a sitl en veltpcd in the flumes, whom he attempt ed, aided by another person, to rescue, but while so engaged the roof was blown off and fell partially on them, obliging them to abandon the girl and save their own lives. He states that all in rooms No. j 3 and 14 escaped with their lives. The few who escaped wounded were placed in comfortable positions and well eared for by the physicians, who had, un fortunately, little to employ them, as nearly all who were in the buildings were killed. Spiritual consolation was administered to one or two upon the . ground who were so badly injured-as to preclude recovery, lapse of the Explottoo. Mrs. Kennedy, matron of the larger building, called the "store house," in the lower part of the grounds, gives a very probable account of the origin of the ex plosion. She states that tae laboratory had been swept out. yesterday, the regular cleaning done and that some powder had been swept aiming the stone, of a newly laid road. Soon ant r, a wagon with three barrels of powder was dri‘eu up, and the horse :trunk lire with ono of his shoes trout a btoi,e. The spark communicated to the powder and produced the whole disaster. Interruption of Work. The loss to the government is no; heavy and will, we think he fully covered by $lO,OOO. The busineas 01 the arsenal will, however, be seriously interrupted, as, if the buildings were replaced to day it would be some time before the tools and implemeots (all of peculiar character) used in the laboratory could . be supplied. The Store noose. Some three hundred girls and boys were at trot k in the store house when the first sound was heard, there was great consternation among them and a universal desire to get out of the building. Those in authority closed the doors and endeavor ed to keep them back, but they pressed forward and some were badly trampled. One, Ellen Haney, jumped out of an up per window and escaped without injury. Matilda Fox, let herself down by the rope used for lowering cylinders and was injured but not seriously; Mrs. Scott, of Lawrenceville, was badly injured in get ting out of a window; Mrs. Brogan, of Lawrenceville, and Nancy Fleming, a lit tle girl from the Ninth ward, were also injured in like manner; also Mrs. Cinna mon, of Lawrenceville; one report was that the latter had broken her neck in umping out of a window, but the state meta was incorrect. The Loos of Life. At the last accounts some seventy bodies bad been removed from the ruins, and some sire or eight who es-aped with their lives, have since died. The number whO have lost their lives by this dreadful occurrence will, therefore, tall little short of eighty. The number wounded is small and those who yet live will probably re• cover.

Fifth Ward Committee.. -"" James M.

Simultaneously with this the companies here that were under orders to move to . Harrisburg bad their orders countermand ( d, and fur a time this town was in a state of consternation, fearing a rebel raid. This morning, however, the danger appears to be past for the present. if there were any, for the former orders to the troops have been reaffirmed. The locomotives, how ever, to the number of forty, are fired up and ready to move - at moment's notice 1 here are always between forty and fifty engines here, and the rolling stock at this junction is always worth between $1,600,- 000, and $2,000,000.

As messengers are established all along the boundary, it may not be impossible that Gov. Curtin may have received intel ligence which led him to believe that some ot the rebels were moving in a westerly direction. This might account for the telegraphic message of which I have pre viously spoken. As soon ns the di-patch reached here every old rifle and shotgun that had been tying for years was brought out and clean ed and tried, and, although no formal no lice of danger had been given to the citi zen.l. they kept vigilat guard over the town ail night.

The soldieis who we re on the field dur ing Friday, state that it cotvisted entirely of artillery on that day. It commenced early in the morning and continued until late at night. General McClellan having, at the close of day. driven them about a half mile, obtained an elevated position, from which he was operating to day.
