Reference to the newspapers of that date will show' that the first1 time the story was printed in this country, it was as an extract from a letter to the London Her ald by its New York correspondent 'Man hattan.1 , . -"'.:'.'.-.' ltMr E H. Jenny, a well-known citizen of New York City, met Mr... Scovill in Car leton's bookstore shortly after the publication of the letter containing this charge. He said, to him, 'Scovill, how came you to write, that nonsense to the London press about Presid ent Lincoln at Antietam V Why, replied Scovill, . 'it . was intended only as ; a joke. I received,' he continued, 'ten pound -sterling for tMt letter. I have to put just; i such stuff as that in my . letters to please sucn leiiows as they Bre over mere.'

Dix that he was very ill, and thought lie had not three weeks to live, aud begged not to be sent to Fort Lafayette. Gen. Dix said the matter would be referred to' Washington, and in the mean time he must consider himself under arrest. Scovill sub sequently exhibited his order of arrest' to Mr. J enny at the Controller's office "of the city of New York ; and in answer to inquiries as to the nature or the charges against him, replied : ?My account of Grants fighting bri the Rapidan and at Spottsylvania.' When Mr. J. suggested that it might be his alander of Presidenf Lincoln at Antietam, instead, he replied : 'That was intended only as a joke y nobody believes it 7iere; it was written to please those fellows over there,' reiterat ing his assertion that the letter containing the fabrication 'produced him 10 sterling.' " Hon. Henry Wilson at Richmond. From the Boston Daily Advertiser. Mr. Wilson ; is reported by telegraph as 'visiting Richmond again on one of the poli tical missions in r which he has before now rendered ; good service. The statement of his operations is: meagre enough, but it is still sufficient to bring out the fact tbathe has called to the minds of the-Virginians two important points, of , which the South have special need to be reminded just now. It will be remembered that the President in his message is not ashamed to say that the object of the reconstruction acts was to place the South under negro domination. But, says Mr. Wilson, and we believe the tacts will bear him out, not fifty thousand whites are disfranchised in all the South and it is idleto talk of this disfranchisement putting the South under negro rule. The truth is that if we, except South Carolina and Mississippi, there is probably no Sta'e in the South where the whites would not have the preponderance if they , choose to register themselves, and even the registries, we believe, will show in several State? a white majority. Doubtless the negro element has obtained the control in several States in the conventions, but the efficient cause of this is simply the contumacy of a part of the white population, who have taken maasures to secure negro domination so far as they can, with the obvious hope that the whole system of reconstruction might thus be rendered odious. The language of the President and his friends contributes to fos ter this hope, and it is well that it should be frankly explained, by a man who can secure general attention, that the working of this thing is fully understood, and that the south ern people are in danger of making for them selves a bed in which they will be sorry to lie. ' : ! Their daneer of beirier held to what they have done when they least expect it, is the second of the two points made oy: mr, w 11 son. The present generation, he is reported as saying, will be gray before the reconstruc tion acts are revoked. The South will have icause to regret its blindness, if it falls into any mistake on this branch of the .subject The President's diatribes will go for noth ing ; the elections will be found to have quite another meaning from that ascribed to them at the South, and the reconstruction will stand. The intent of the North in this batter is as clear as it was two years ago, and no intelligent southern " man can afford to ignore it, as the old leaders of that section are trying to uo. xuc uwiaiauuu , (" Wilson in this respect is a friendly warning, and those chiefly interested will do well to heed it. ; .. , " l - j A Happy Family. This is the historviof the recunious fami ly ot Cooke, of which Jay is tne great ano shining light : There were six children in the family, two of whpm died; the rest lived and are married and affluent Pitt Cooke, the eldest, has partial charge of the New York house of Jay Cooke & Co.; Henry D. Cooke, the youngest has? entire control of one in Washington, and Jy himself ope rates in Philadelphia; Sarah. E. Cooke, the only daughter, is married to a. wealthy spec ulator, William G. Moorhead who lives right royallv in the City of 1 Brotherly Love. Eleutherus Cooke, the father of this happy family, t died about three yeais agoat the rreen old age of seventy-six, I retaining his wonted energy to the last. Mrs. Cooke, who is a little over seventy, still ;lives in the old family mansion in the enjoyment of all her faculties, and an ample participant in the filial bounty of her sons.

The prisoner was confined in an interior cell, ; and could not escape by thi breach in the wall. He has been reinovejl to a place of greater security. The exploskm was tremendous in its effect.

Some lives must have been lest t is wildly rumored that as many as 3( persons have been1 killed, and that some b (dies are buried in the ruins. During the norning repairs had been com menced on he walls. Later in the day some unknown 1 len were seen to roll a, barrel, which dou tlcs3 contained powder, under the place w lere the repairs were being made. Shortly aft jrward the explosion took place.
