Explosion.

--An explosion took place at the Augusta (Ga.) Arsenal Wednesday morning last, by which two of the young ladies employed there were seriously, if not fatally injured. The accident occurred in the room where the rockets are prepared, and is said to have been produced by the spontaneous ignition of some powder. The females mentioned were badly burned, while a number of the other lady employees sustained injuries.
