LIVES LOST-BURNING OF THE RUINS—
HORRIBLE SCENES.
From the Petersburg ( Va.) Repress.
Pittsburg, Pa., Sept. 17.—A frightful explosion
occurred at the United States Arsenal this after
noon, at 2 o’clock. It occurred in the large frame
building known as the Laboratory.
.One hundred and seventy-six boys and g’rte
were employed in the building at the time of the
disaster, of whom seventy*five or eighty were
killed.
One explosion followed another until the entire
building was destroyed, and those who could not
escape in time were burned up.
The scene was most appalling, the dead bodies
lying in heaps as they had fallen. In some places
where the heat was most intense, whitened bones
could be seen through the smoke and flame. In
other places large masses of blackened flesh were
visible. Up to the present time sixty-three bod*
ies have been taken from the ruins.
The cause of the explosion is said to have been
the accidental falling of a shell.

ates victorious!
■. Frcm the Richmond H Mg, of Sept .20.
We are kindly permitted by Governor Letcher
to publish the following extracts from tetters re
ceived by him yesterday;
■ Winchester, 3ept. 16.—After the advance of
our army to Frederick, and the issuing of the ads
mirable proclamation to the people of Maryland,
by General Lee, a movement took place with our
troops seemingly in tbe direction of Pennsylva
nia, but really (or an important movement into
Virginia, After sending a portion of bis troops
to occupv and hold the Maryland Heights, Gen»
eral Jackson was directed by General Lee to re
cross the Potomac, at Williamsport, takeposees»
sion ot Martinsburg, and then pass rapidly be
hind Patperte Ferry, that a capture might be ef
fected ui ihe garrison and stores known to be
there. The movement was admirably conducted.
Martinsburg fell, with the capture of 150 pris
oners and some stores, the most being taken to
the Ferry.
The investment of Harper's Ferry was effected
on Saturday. Sunday morning there was some
firing, and it was renewed yesterday morning,
and the result the unconditional surrender of the
gairison—lo,ooo men, with all the arms, fifty
pieces of artillery, ammunition, one hundred
wagons, quartermaster and commissary stores,
and many cars, some of which were loaded, and
600 negroes. This important conquest was ef
fected without the loss ot a man on our side. So
much is official. It is reported that the cavalry,
1,000 in number, escaped by Shepherdstown.
It is reported that an engagement took place
near Boonsboro’. It is said the enemy were re
pulsed twice, with a loss of 5,000 in killed and
wounded, Our loss was heavy. Our troops fell
back towards the Potomac from reasons that can
be easily conjectured. Jackson will now recross
the Potomac at Harper’s Ferry, circumvent the
enemy if he has had tbe temerity to follow our
advanced corps, and we shall capture or disperse
the whole concern. God grant that this conjees
ture may be verified. General Garnett is certainly
killed. His body arrived here this morning.

Winchester, Sept. 16.—A fight took place
Sunday at Middletown, Maryland, between a very
heavy force of the enemy and Gen. D. H. Hilite
division. The toss was great on each side. Hill,
however, held his position until the advance ot ,
Longstreet arrived, when the enemy fell back.
Gen. Garnett was kilted. No other officer as yet
reported killed or wounded. Yesterday iheene
my at Harpei’s Ferry surrendered to the invinci
ble Jackson at 3P. M. They consisted of 10,000
infantry. Their cavalry escaped thb night before, ,
crossing the river at Shepherdstown. All.of (be ,
stores left at the Ferry are now on the way here. J
They were but few, as they were nearly star ved
out. The force defeated by Hill were "on their
way to the relief of their friends at the Ferry.
Nath’l B. Meade, ,
Editor of Republican. ,
Tbe engagement in Maryland, referred to in >
both letters, took place near Boonsboro’, 51 miles .
from Washington, and about 18 miles from J
Harper’s Ferry. The latest version of the affair
which has reached U 3 is, that a dispatch from
McClellan to Col. Miles, commanding at Harper’s ;
Feiry, urging him to hold the position, and prom- >
ising reinforcements, was infercepted by General
Lee, who, accordingly, posted Gen. D. H. Hill’s ,
Division near Boonsboro’ to check the reinforc- *
ing column, and made such disposition of the >
remaining forces as would ensure the discomfiture ♦
of the Yankee hosts, ■
Gen. Hill successfully executed his part of the <
programme, and next day, (Monday) the enemy *
was attacked by Hill and Longstreet and driven ,
back several miles, with heavy loss. Jackson
having accomplished his mission to Harper’s I
Ferry, hastened to tbe scene of the conflict, and, !
no doubt, struck a telling blow upon McClellan’s 1
army on Tuesday or Wednesday. ’ J
It was reported yesterday aftfernoon that Mcs *
Ciellan was completely hemmed in by our forces; t
also that Burnside and bis entire corps had been r
already captured. Tbe Confederate general offi- '
cer killed at Boonsboro’ was Gen. Garland, not J
Garnett, as mentioned by the Governor’s corresa
pondent. Gen. Garland’s body arrived in Lynch- t
burg, yesterday.
by telegraph.
Gordonsvillb, Sept. 19 —At Harper’s Ferrv,
we paroled 11,090 privates, 425 officers, took !
2,000 negroes, 15,000 stand small arms, 46 pieces -
cannon. Colonel Walker’s buttery took 500 J
horses. Our loss was three killed and forty
wounded. The battle commenced Sunday morn- 1
ing and opened again Monday at day light.— J
Their dead were covered in the ditches ; we could '
net tell how many. Io the fight at Sharpsburg
we took 3,000 prisoners. General Garland and Col. '
Strange werk killed. Gen. D. H. fliil was
roughly handled but managed to hold the enemy
in check.
We find the following paragraphs in the
Jackson Mississippian, «f Sept. 16th;
Evacuation of Memphis.—From the best in<-
formation we are m possession of, there is but
little doubt that the Yankees were evacuating
Memphis on Friday last—and later, it is reported
that the evacuation is complete, and that our
forces, under Viilipegue, are in possession of tbe
city. The only destruction of propeity reported
by the Federate, was the throwing of salt into the
river.
Bombardment and Destruction of Ponchitou
las« —We learn that dispatches were received m
thte city yesterday eveijiDg, by General Jeff, i
Thompson, that Ponchitoulas—which is situated
about twe >ty miles' north of Manchac. on the New
Orleans, Jackson and Great Northern Railroad— i
was attacked yesterday morning by Federal bat« 1
teries, and, after shelling the place several hours, ,
it was entirely consumed by fire. i
Later. —Since the above was in type, we have
seen General Thompson, and learn that our forces I
were driven back in the morning in a closely con
tested battle, but rallied under Colonel Witte,
and drove the enemy back, capturing some of
their cannon. Lieut. Col. Vaughan, who is in i
command, reports that we were in possession of
the place at ten o’clock last night, and that an at
tack by the enemy was expected this morning.
Morb Prisoners Arrived.—We are informed by
Gen. Tilghman, who has favored us with the fol*
lowing dispatch, that this shipment cf prisoners
embraces the company officers and all the troops
from Johnson’s Island, Sandusky.
These troops will all be in Jackson during the
present week;
Vicksburg, sept. 15, 1862.
Gen. Tilghman : Six thousand prisoners have
just arrived—l will receive them to-morrow.
W. G. Watts, Major.
We have also received the following dispatch
upon the same subject; i
Vicksburg; Sept. 15, 8, P. M.
Ed. Mississippian : Gunboat and ten transports
anchored five miles above. Six or seven thou
sand Camp Douglas prisoners on board.
T. C. F.
Col. Witte, who so gallantly rallied our troops
at Ponchitoulas, and drove the enemy before him,
was at the time under arrest for some trivial of
fense We are happy to understand, however,
from General Thompson, that he will be released
immediately, in consideration of his heroic conduct
on that occasion. «
Death of Hon. H. W. Miller.—A special
dispatch in to-day’s Express announces the
sudden death of the Hon. Henry W. Miller.
This sad event occurred at the residence of the
deceased in Raleigh, on Wednesday night last.
Henry W. Miller was one of the ablest crimi
nal lawyers in the State of North Carolina, and
enjoyed a more lucrative practice in this depart
ment of jurisprudence, probably, than any of
his peers. Ea was a man of rare oratorical
powers, and whether in the rostrum or before
a jury, never failed to enchain the attention of
his hearers. He was a delegate elect from the
county of Wake to the House of Commons,
and enjoyed in a high degree the respect and
confidence of his fellow-citizens, by whom his
unexpected death will be deeply lamented. He
leaves a large family to mourn a loss which to
them is indeed irreparable. They have the
deep sympathy of many warm friends in this,
. their hour of great affliction.

SURRENDER OF HARPEB’g FERRY.
! I From a‘n Ri ° hrnOnd * (Fa ’> Sept.
b«ave obtained 1, some par “enters wi^ ge ?“ ent ’ T
FT e ' n ’ e p ment and Ba bsequent su^ronder ’ of
Harper s Ferry. Our informant stateZihA k. f
JacaSou left Frederick on Thursday '
Hagerstown road, an d Bt the same time
ions ol Gens, McLawsand RH. Anderaon ,B Z,
from the vicinity of Frederick on the Maryland
Henris, overlooking ihe town of Harper's
On Wednesday, the division ofGen. Walker
sent down to destroy the canal aqueduct at Th!
mouth of the Monocacy, and arrived at the oo=nt
durinz that night. The next morning early he '
fore they had accomplished their purpose an
older was received from Gen. Lee, dinclimr
Gen. Walker to proceed with his forces, by foiced
marches, to the Loudoun Heights, via Point of
Rocks, to prevent the enemy at Harper’s Ferry
from escaping in that direction. The division
eros?ed tbe river at Point of Recks, nine miles
below H-rperte Ferry, and on Friday evening
reached the position assigned them. Gen. Jaclfo
son’s force reached on the PotoT
mac, on Friday morning, and immediately cross
ed and moved on Martinsburg, twenty miles
above Harper’s Ferry, when there were some
three or four thousand of the enemy’s force. Ou
the approach of Gen. Jackson this force fell back,.,
and united with the force at Harper’s Ferry, be
lieved to number about five thousand. Geo.
Jackson pursued, and on Saturday morning
reached Balltown, four miles Southwest of Har
per’s Ferry. From this point he dispatched a
courier to General Walker, then in possession of"
theHe'ghts south of the town, directing him not to
open his guns upon the enemy s fortifications
until he (Gen. J.; got in position, of which he
promised to notify Gen. Walker.
Meanwhile, the divisions of McLaws and An»-:’
derson, after but little resistance, bad become
masters of the Heights on the Maryland side,..
the enemy leaving them, andjoining the forces in
their entrenchments on the Virginia side of the
river. On Saturday night Gen. Walker received
orders from Gen. Jackson to open tire upon the
enemy at daylight on Sunday morning. In obe
dience to this order, at day dawn the stillness of”
the Sabbath was broken by tbe opening of
Walker’s guns upon the fortifications of the ena
my on Bolivar Heights, two miles above ihe
railroad bridge at Harper's Ferry. At the same
time the attack was made by the forces under
Gen. Jackson, and tbe fight, which was desperate
and determined, continued throughout the day—
MiLaws and And.eison shelling from the Mary*
tend side. The enepiy resisted with great spirit,
and their guns, of Which they had a large nums
her in pasition, were handled wLh great effect
upon the column of Gen. Jackson, which had to
approach them through an open space, where
their guns bad unobstructed play.
Tbe shells from Walker’s batteries and the im
petuous attacks of Jackson’s men rendered their
entrenchments on Boiivar Heights too warm for
the enemy, and late in the evening they fell back
to Camp Hill, one mile in the rear of the Bolivar
fortifications. Hera they had heavy gunsjpianted
and strong entrenchments thrown up, but within
easy range of the batteries of McLaws and An
derson, on tbe opposite heights. Night coming
on, the struggle ctased, Jackson’s forces occupy*
ing the deserted entrenchments on the hills of
Bolivar. That night old ’•Stonewall’’ sent a mes«
sage to General Walker that bis forces were tn
possession of the enemy’s first line of entrench
ments, and that, with God’s blessing, he would
have Harper’s Ferry and the Federal forces early
the next morning.
At daylight the next morning (Monday) the
fight was renewed, the enemy still offering an ob
stinate resistance, until about seven o’clock A. M.,
when their colors were struck and a capitulation
proposed. Os the terms of this capitulation we
have learned no particulars, but conclude that
they involved the unconditional surrender of the
whole force, negroes as well as Yankees. About
9 o’clock our forces entered the second line of en
trenchments, the enemy having surrendered every
thing, guns, ordnance, and commissary stores, ic.
The number of the enemy is variously estimated
at from seven to twelve thousand, and the negroes
from fifteen hundred to two thousand.
Os our losses we are not apprised, but judge
from reports that Gen. Jackson’s column suffered
pretty heavily. In Walker’s division we bad five
killed, three of these by the accidental explosion
of a shell. Among the killed in this division we
have heard the name of Lieut. Robertson of
French's battery.
Later.—Since the above was written we have
received the following particulars contained in a
letter to Gov. Letcher, from Col. Francis H.
Smith:
Winchester, Sept. 16.—After the advance of
our army to Frederick, and the issuing of the ad -
mirable proclamation to the people ot Maryland
by Lee, a movement took place with our troops,
seemingly in tbe direction of Pennsylvania, but
really for an important movement into Virginia.. •
Afier tending a portion of bis troops to occupy
Maryland Heights, Gen. Jackson was directed by
Gen. Lee to reecross the Potomac at Williamsport,
take possession of Martinsburg, and then pass
rapidly behind Harper’s Ferry, that a capture
might be effected of tbe garrison and stores known
to be there. Tne movement was admirably con
ducted. Martinsburg fell, with a capture of 150.
prisoners and some strives, the most being taken
to the Ferry. The investment of Harper’s Ferry
was effected on Saturday
Sunday morteing there was some firing, and it
was renewed yesterday morning, and the result,
tbe unconditional surrender ot the garrison
-10,000 men, with all the arms, fifty pieces of ar
tillerv, ammunition, 100 wagons, quartermaster
and commissary stores, and many cars, some of
which were loaded, and 600 negroes. This im*
portant conquest was effected without the loss of
a man on our side. So much is official. It is re*
ported that the cavalry, 1,000 in number, escaped
by Shepherdstown.
Another account, received late test night, says
that the surrender took place on Monday morning
last at 10 o’c'.ock. The tiring commenced as early
as 5 o’clock in the moaning. Shortly after, tbe
Yankees sent out a flag of tj-uce, proposing a con
dit'opal surrender; but our firing did not cease
when another flag was sent proposing an uncondi
tional surrender, when the firing ceased. Gen.
Miles, the Federal commander, is reported to be
wounded. The results of the surrender, accord
ing to the last account,, are as follows : 12,000
Yankees, 12,000‘Enfield rifles, 50 cannon, 100 four
horse teams, a number ot fine artillery horses,
a large quantity of ammunition, some" quarter
master and commissary stores, and 4,000 “contra
bands.”
We take the subjoined paragraphs from
the Chattanooga (Tenn.) Rebel, of Sept. 20th ;
The train on; the Nashville railroad returned
yesterday, having gone as far as Normandv, eighty
eight miles from Chattanooga. Col. Cole, the
Superintendent, informs us that he can have the
enti re road in condition to take passengers to
Nashville in ten days, provided the military
authorities protect the road as he progresses, and
tbe Yankees will have entirely left Nashville by
that time.
From Nashville.—From a gentleman who left
Nashville last Saturday we learn that fifty five
regiments of Buell’s command crossed the Cnm«
bet land river at that place ten days ago. but it waa
not known whether they went towards the mouth
of the Cumberland river or. to Bowling Green.
a rumor was prevalent in Nashville that Buell
bad encountered ihe forces of General Bragg in
the vicinity of Bowling Green; but nothing au«
tbentic or positive is known.
Gen. Thomas’ division still remained at Nash
ville, and is variously estimated at from-5,000 to
15,000 men, but everything went to indicate the
early departure of this body of troops from the
place- This is but the rear guard of Buell’s
army.
Nothing is known of the whereabouts of Rosen
crauz’s force.
Andy Johnson is reported as having given
himself up to liquor, and remains in his room,
almost all the time. He made a speech last
week, in which he told the people if they insisted
on it, and were disposed to *be the slaves of Je ff ■
Davis, be would wash his hands of every effort
to reclaim them. His speech is said to have been
full of profanity, and was the outburst of passiod
and drunkenness. Among other things, he sain
that if tbe Rebels took Nashville they would find
bis remains under the rums of the Capitol,
