The first report was heard at 4 e'elock, and was rapidity followed by the rapid explosion of shells, vividly reeslling the fearful scenes of tne ever meiuorable 3rd of April. The ammunition was the propert of the late Confederate government, stared in emall wood-n hove known as the Ledgar Arsenal. It ie sepposed they contained 2000 rounds shell, shot and rifle cartridges. and a large quantity of percu-siun cxps were alsa stored jn one of the houses. ragments of sheils were tirown for miles around. Persons hiving acar Oregon Hill had to fl-e for their dives. Several hauss were struck, but the inmates escaped. Many narrow escapes are seported. There are various r¢parta and Sheories a8 to the origin of the ex plosson, but 18 1@ beheved ta have beea accidental.
