A correspondent of th'o New York Tribune, writing from Boy Island (one of the Virgin Islands) gives tho folloTPing account of the recent earthquake: -1MT -u Tyif
On Monday Inat, the lBth, we oxpe rienced thp most.avful scries of earthquhkos ever kndwri in thfft'or any other p^art of the world, no fur as thd number and, duration wont. About two o'clock. I heard a remondeoup 'report ad if a heavy cannon had beeri fired some distance off then came loud rumbling noi*o like a number of iron carriages drawn over a rough road by hundreds of wild horses, ^stopped my horse, for I well knew what was coming, when the- shock came. I never .shall-forget it. 1 nov er had seen or felt an}'thing half so dread"fnl in all my life. The hurricane was tad enough, but tho earthquake •was ten times worse. It was a ver}' long shock, and I thought tho land would sink under me.
Earthquake after earthquake for nearly ar. hour, and such dreadful shocks. By and by we heard a great noipe, and I left them and went up the hill a little. When" I got high enough to see the sea, what a sight! The sea
4hd
encroached and the noise we heard •was from the power of the water running back. It continued to run off until the rocks and reefs were all dry. and it seemed to suck the water out of the bay and leave everything dry ily attention was aroused by a similar noise on the other sido of '-Taylor's Bay," and there, too, tho same thing was going on. As soon as the water would come in on the south side, it Would go off on the north and BO it continued for a length of time. During the whole time we had earthquake after earthquake. Three hours had cow elapsed 6incc the first shock, and night coming on—what a night we had before us, to be siiro. Not an eye •was closed. We were all frightened half to death and expected momenta rily to be swallowed up. It was a •truly awful sight, and never to bo forotton. Wo must havu had over two hundred shocks daring the night, and gome hours there were twenty. Pa}r}ight came at last, and never was it more welcomed by miserable creat. "ures we wero completely worn out.
Of course the dnj* before our dinner was forgotten, and we wanted food. §leej and everything else to make us comfortable. They had jutst made bread at the house before the first, oame. and then it lay all the next day and finalty became leaven. When I found the shocks continued I got pome boat sails and made a tent, but a little distance from the house, for the walls •were cracked and we were afraid to renvnin in tho house, not knowing at what moment a shock more severe Might come and bring it down. Since last Tuesday morning we have lived in tho tent. Fortunately for us there has not been much rain. Severe and frequent shocks continued up to Fri day they are now subsiding, but every now and then we hear the reports, but very little vibration. We Lave had a week of earthquakes.
Just fancy, large fish were left on the road to LittJe Mountain tho sea brought them up, and when g«ing off left them entangled in the grass and bushes. Some of the bay a are clean pon% tho sea running on the Bandy bay thirty to forty feet wide. Everything looks changed. Such a hurricane and such earthquakes, all within three weeks! Hundreds of poor unfortunates were sent to their last home, and hundreds more havo lostt.heir all. Since last Sunday, tho 17th, all \ye had to live upon has been a piece of johnnycake in tho morning with our coffee, and tho samo in the evening y/ith a little soup. We have been getting fever ever since we have been living in tho tent. All tho rest are well. 2Gth.—Tho weather has changed, and the cold weather has driven us out of the teuta. Or. Guano Island everything is swept away to the bare walls of tho houses. Tho calamity has finished Tortola and all belonging to it. It is painful to contemplate the state of affairs. On the 27th we had a very unpleasant night of it, having bad four shocks during the night.
Qrfstton of Veracity Between the President and Gen. Grant. Tho Times' Washington special pronounces the statements, said to be fupported by the Cabinet, that Gen. Grant admitted that he had agreed to bold on until removed, as totally false... Ho agreed with the President that if he (Grant) was removed that 3lr.

FOR VICE .PRESIDENT,
GEJV. O O, SSO of Maine. Subject to the decision of a National
Convention, ......
Oh for.a President that had a little back bone!—IteView. We hope the Copperheads will '.'possess their souls in patience" until next November, and the Republicans will furnish them with a President who not only has a little back, bone, but large amount of brains. Genehil U. S. Grant is the man. lie had the back bone to whip Leo and a number of other rebel Generals and squelch tho rebellion, and has still the back bone to toll Andy Johnson, '"j/owr1 noble President," that "the country will not quietly submit to be ruled b}* traitors." Not only this, but General Grant is in
much needed at this time. If ho saved fifty millions of dollars to the people while acting as Secretary of Wprior only a few months, how much Would he save if he controlled all the Gov ernment departments? Since the nomocracy, with Andrew Johnson as their President, have administered the Government, the people have been swindled by Democratic office holders out of hundreds of millions of dollars in the way of whiskey and tobacco frauds. Tho people know this to be truo, and have wisely determined that they will elect an honest, capabte and tried man to the Presidency, who Will watch their interests, guard their treasure, and administer the Government for the benefit of the whole people, regardless of the clamors of A clique of Copperhead conspirators and their rebel allies. They have unbounded confidence in General Grant, and will make him their President.
Gesicrai Grant,
St. Louis, Januar 27—A committee appointed b}* the Central Grant Club publish an address to the Republicans of Missouri, in which they give tho following among other reasons why General Grant should be nominated by the Republican National Conven
tion for President:' Because he is an honest man, and has proved himself to be a patriot because he is a man of the. people, sprung from their hands, and is devoted to their interests because he is possessed of those rare qualities eo necessary in a Chief Magistrate amidst the present political complicity,' viz practical common sense, unflinching determination of purpose, a clear discrimination of men and measures because he will practice and enforce the most rigid economy in every de partment of tho Government because ho will mete out equal and exaci justice to all, without reference to ondition, color and nationality because he is magnanimous, and will administer tho Government on the liberal and progressive principles of the Republican party because he can place o.ur financial system on a solid basis, and vitalize our commercial name and also because he has ihe will to give weight to our nationality among liio nations, and will settle up tho Alabama claims or move immediately on the.w.oik.s of the enemy because he will see that our flag bo respected by all tlier nations, however powerful, and will protect our naturalized citizens Whenever or wherever their rights ma}" bo assailed, or their liberty abridged bscause General Grant is to-day the first choice of an overwhelming majority of the American people for their next Chief Magistrate. The
favor of retrenchment and reform sol have cause to regret so"doing. F5un-

formation of
Grant clubs in every town in tho State is earnestly recommended.
Murderer Convicted.
During the past week, William II. Leo has been on trial before the Circuit Court of Tippecanoe county, ut Lafayette, for the murder of Benjamin Tea. Tho jury rendered a verdict of guilty, and imprisonment for life in the pencteritiary. "j

The informant who sends us the above adds that he has just learned'of the murder of a Mr. George Biggerstuffe, who was killed while riding in his wagon about five miles west of Ulai ksvillc. A negro bo}' whoaccom panied hinv was murdered at the same time. The killing' of Biggerstaft'e and the colored boy, as well as that of Ferguson, is supposed to have been done either through private revenge or political animosity, as the former had a considerable amount of-money on his person, which was found untouched. Biggerstaffe and Ferguson are reported 10 have been Union men.
Wo think it is about time for the Convention, or some other authority, to interpose and stop this bloody work. Murders and assassinations seem to be the order of the day. The villains that perpetrate them know very well that, its courts and juries are now orgnnized in many parts of the Stftte, they will go unwhipperl of justice. How to reach the scoundrel^ should be seriously considered. We hope Congress will prompt!}- amend the reconstruction- acts as proposed, and wo feel sure some plan will then bo adopted tor tho apprehension and punishment of these criminals, who are now stalking abroad with impunity.
