Gree. e.r.eat Of Sound.-An extract of ii
letter from a gentleman attached to the par
ty of Engineers engaged in the survey of the
canal from Baltimore to the Potomac, says
"On the afternoon OF Friday, the 8th inst. as
we were sitting near our tent, our attention
was reused BY loud explosion in the di-
rection of Baltimore. Several of the party,
who had once or twice heard the blowing up
of powder-mIl, agreed thatit was exactly
similar. and We we're induced to attribute it
to the same cause, but were at q loss to re-
collect any mill near Baltimore in the drec-
tion the sound proceeded from. Not hear
ing any such accident for some days we were
disposed to think it had been thunder, until
the account of the obstruction of the Eden
mill near Wilmington, and the exact coinei.
dencc of time left no doubt of the truth. The
distance, in strait line from Wilmington,
must have been from 80 to 80 miles"
