The earthquake commenced at half-past five on the 13th of August, extending from Bolivia to the Southern parts of Chili, on the coast and over one hundred miles inland. The towns and cities mentioned in the dispatches of last night, were literally ruined, as all buildings which were not destroyed were so badly damaged as to require theirjlimolitldiior-'rudentiaVIreasopi. All the public edifices in Arica were destroyed, incJudingT,the Custom .House, which contained iflore tnan-four4nlHion dollars worth of goods all of which are lost. -Ta--The loss of the Fredonia and the Wateree are described la follows ij 'tTbey were both at anchor in the harbor of Arica, near each other. After the first shock on land, which created great consternation on both vessels, Dr. Dubois, Surgeon, and the Paymaster of the Fredonia,-took a boat and went on shore to inquire for the welfare of friends and offer the services of the ship. In a few moments after leaving the vessel, a great upheaving of the waters of the Bay commenced, . and - the , Fredonia, parting her chains, was dashed about at the mercy of the sea and finally dashed to pieces oVa'reet. Nothing of the ves sel was saved. Her officers and crew 27 in number were, lost ; also Mrs. Dyer, wife of the Lieutenant command ing. The officers names are Lieutenant B Dyer and D. Organ f Master, J. G. Cromwell ; Purser, S. Lunt, Secretary to the, lCoaniler.T.)Th Vessel had nearly two million dollars worth of naval stores on board. All totally lost. The Wateree was more securely an chored, but dragged her anchors, and the great tidal wave swept her 450 yards inlsTiKlrabouttwo -miles north - of the ruined town.

The British bark Henrietta was also lost ; crew were eaved. The losses at Iquique ovtr two millions.

Southern Peru- ai m large pait of the State of Ecuador must be classed among the most terrible conolsions'of the kindeyer toiown, and the destruction life and property attending it is not exceeded" by that of any similar catastrophe on the American con. tinent-at least since the period .of the discovery of America with he exception of the ruin which was wrought in February, 1797,: when the Whole country between ganta Fe and Panama, was destroyed by 'an' earthquake, and 40,000 people buried in an instant. Of modorn earthquakes, the present one is surpassed in Us destructive efforts by only two be; side that just mentioned the earthquake of Lisbon, in 1755, when 60,000 persons aire believed to have perished in the short spacejBl.slx. minutes, jand , that of . Cala b in the end of the last century, when 40,000 were destroyed. , The earthquake in the Kingdom of Naples in 1857 was attended with the loss, it is estimated, of fully 30,000 Uvea. In the number of . towns which have ceased to exist, both n Peru and Ecuador. we rare; reminded of the earthquake in the island of Java in 1772, when 40 villiges with all their inhabitants were overwhelmed in one common ruin; and the startling fact that in Ecuadorwhere the town of Golacha stood previous to the earthquake, there is now a lake, brings to the recollection the destruction by an earthquake in the City of ' Port Royal, Jamaica, which in stantanepusly sunk with the greater part of the buildings beneath the 'wares. '- Earthauakes of tremendous violence working fearful destruction,1 have "been of frequent occurrence in South and Central America. In October, 1746, Lima and Callao were demolished by one, and 18,000 persons buried in the ruins; in April, 1775, the City of Quito was des troyed; fn fiily, 1773, r Guatem ala, with' 8,000 of its inhabitants, was swallowed up; in February, 1797, ocucurred the Jerrible earthquake above . alluded -r to in March, 1812, the City of Caraccas, the capitol'of Venezuela, was reduced, with all its splendidchurchest to aheap of ; ruins7beneathwhich 12,000of the inhabitants were crushed to death; on the 2d April, 1831, Valparaiso was terribly shaken, and more than 400 houses destroyed; in April, 1854, St. Salvador was destroedj in June, 1868 the Vally of Mexico was convul3edvand property, tojhe value of several -millions ?of"doIlar - destroyed;' in March, 1839.

JUST AND FEAR NOT! LET ALL THE erty- e destroyed; in March, 1861,. the greater part of the City of : Mendoza, in the Argentine Republic, was overthrown, and 8,000 lives lost, and in December. 1862, 150 buildings and 14 churches were destroyed in. Guatemala. ' Toward' the end of. last- year several severe . shocks were ' experienced in ; Central America, but they were unattended with any dam age of a serious character. i - The West India islands have also from time to time suffered terribly from these awful visitations. There was the earthquake at Jamaica, in 1692, which destroyed Port Royal; that at Martinique, in January, 1839, by which nearly 70C persons were killed nearly half the cap ital of the island destroyed, and the whole island damaged; that of Ma-, 1842f at Cape fHajtien, in Hsiy ti, which destroyed nearly two thirds of the town with from 4,000 to 5,000 of its inhabitants; that at Guadalonpe in February, 1843, resulting in the entire dertruction of Point a Pitre; and lastly, beside several inferior ones, that with which the island of St. Thomas, and other parts of the West Indies, were visited in October of last year, causing the loss of propertj' valued at several millions of dollars. The St. Thomas catastrophe was followed, in the early part of the year, by the earthquake in the Sand which Islands, the details of which,: given at the time by Tho Tribune, must be still fresh in the recollection of our readers. Earthquakes are not peculiar to any particular portion of the earth. In Asia, they have been frequent and terribly de-. structive, especially in China. In Africa many have occured. Egypt being the only country on that continent that, has hot been several times visited by them They have been felt in France, England, Germany, Holland, and Hungary, and in the soiitharn portion of Europe they have been both numerous and terribly destructive." ATheir frequency and 'yio lence in such countries as Italy. Spr.in, and Greece.' are attributed to ' volcanic action in those parts;t and,r iudeed, "ob servers of volcanic phenomena have noticed that every eruption in - whatever from a volcanic vent on land or beneath the ocean, is accompanied by earthquake shocks of greater or less violence and duration; while on the other hand those observing earthquakes speak of them as accompanied by volcanic eruptions, and of them often being stopped on the openino' of volcanic vents." From the details above given, it will be seen :. that . the American continent except in the northern latitudes is quite as subject to earth auakes of a destructive kind as the re gkns of 1 Northern Europe. In this t ountrj, the only earthquake of importanco of which we hnve any record is that which took place at New Madridj below StLouis, on' the Mississippi, iu 1811. ; The phenomena attending it were of a very remarkable character- Over an extent of couutry 300 miles in length, from the mouth of the Ohio to that of the St. Francis, the ground rose and sank in great undultaions, and lakes formed and were again drained; the surface burst open in fissures, from which, 'mud and water were thrown as . high as . the tops of the trees, and the quaking of the ground continued for several successive months. "O Tr' The area affected on the occasion of this last earthquake in South; America, it will be seen by a reference to the map, was an extensive one; but not near so ex ensive as that affected by the great Lisbon earthquake, in which instance the shock was felt on the one side as far as the southern shores of Finland, and on the other reached beyond the St. Law rence in Canada, and was observed in some of the West India islands an area of no less than 7,500,000 square miles. An earthquake in Chili in 1835 was felt at all places between the island of Chiloe, 40 degrees south latitude, and Copiapo. 27 degrees of latitude, and extended from the' island of Jnan Fernandez to the 'own of Mendoza on the east side of the Andes, over 10 degrees of longitude. It is estimated that 12 or 13 earthquakes, more or less destructive of life and prop erty; occur every year, and that as many as 13,000,000 of the human race have perished from these awful visitations. . ' A "White" Prayer. A. minister, who has Democratic mea sles badly, has arranged a new version of the Lord's Prayer, which he thinks a great improvement. It is as follows : Our white Father, who art in a white heaven ; hallowed be Thy white name; Thy, white kingdom come ; Thy white will be done give us this day our while daily bread, and forgive our white brethren who differ from ns, and carry out Thy curse on the? colored ' population. Lead us into white temptation to oppress the blacks and deliver us from Republican and negro evils; for Thine is a white kingdom ; Thine is white power ; Thine is white glory, forever and ever, Amen.

Lincoln's Thanks to Seymour. 3r It will be remembered that our local Democracy have paraded on i various i public occasions the correspondence be-i tween Mr. Lincoln and Seymour, reia tive to the troops furnished by the latter. In a speech at Ornwell, Ashtabula coun-t ty, Ohio; on the 28th, Ex-Governor. Todd contributed the following , to the ; political history of the war, which is in teresting in connection . with this matter of thanks. After stating that he knew Seymour well, and that he. ."lacks moral courage, Gov. Todd, said " "Seymour is an intelligent man. -.-I know him well. He was Governor at the same time I was Governor, Mr. Lincoln called for volunteers. I sent him thirty thousand, while Seymour sent fiaeen thousand.' The President went round complimenting Seymour, and saying nothing about what I had dono. I took Mr. Lincoln to task for this. I said, how is it you are complimenting Seymour for his fifteen thousand men, and neglecting to ' compliment Morton and me ? His answer was perfectly satisfactory., He said, "Why, Todd, I, never thanked Mrs. Lincoln for a cup of tea in my life." Liughler and applause, The truth was, Morton and I - had done nothing more than what was expected of : us, while Seymour had. He had never done the like befcre, and never did afterward, Jt was not necessary to keep a Major General in Indiana, and Illinois, and Ohio, to correspond with the President, as it was in New York. In those States the Governors acted as the President's correspondents and agents. " You will remember that remarkable dispatch of General Dix to Seymour, saying: "I beg; to let you know that I' have troops enough at my command to take care, not only of the rioters, but of y ou." " ' "" A If ew Discovery, A French chemist has found a way to illuminate the interior of people. He lowers a lantern into their stomachs, and then standing on the outside, ( we " are assured he does not descend with the" lantern) he can see distinctly the whole inside workings of the human for in divine. It is said to be a . very pleasaut experiment for the patient. . We doubt very much, however, whether itcaa ever be brought into general practice. Fewj persons are willing to : let , others know how they live. It is said to be so easy of application that the patient need not know when it is being done. Wives might be glad to adopt it and thereby be able to know . where the husband spends his evenings. Trix would then i be of no use as a breath disguiser, lor while he is quietly sleeping, down would go the lantern, the conteuts of; the stomach be readily seen and the supper of oysiers and champaign could not l,e concealed.- If this should be extensive ly adopted in the family, husbands will be cbligred to have themselves iron clad. Ti e bemocratio platform in demand 5 ing "equal taxation upon every species ; of property, according to the real value including Government bonds and other j securities," does not propose to reduce - the present iax upon the banks and the bondholders. It proposes to make "the tax equal upon every species of proper-, , ty," and that the owners of the $100,000 j of property on the . Switzerland county tax duplicate for 8743 10, mentioned in Tuesday's issue, and used now to illustrate, shall pay the same amount as is paid by the owners of the 8100,000, the capital of the National Bank. - By the Democratic method of equalizing taxes the owners of the $100,000 on the tax duplicate would have to pay, in addition to the sum of $743 10, the enormous sum of $3,966 30 to be equal to the tax paid by the bank. This will be the result of the Democratic 'plait' of equalizing taxationthe plowholders to pay as much' as the bondholders; and the bondholder to pay as much as the plowholder.- Madison Courier. Gen. Vanderver will not support Vallandigham: The Hamilton Telegraph says: "Since the position assumed by MrXVaHaridigham. 11861 as a Cataline in conspiracy against Republican insti-. tutions, he has been repudiated by Gen.: Vanderver, and by the hundreds of hon-, est Democrats who went out to do battle for our ' imperiled country, Gen.r Van?' derver will not now go back on his record to support this man. ,We have his sanction in saying," that as , he has not supported Vallandigham since the inauguration of the war, he will not support him nOW."-; : V . J The Cape Cod Gazette tells about the fishiest story we have heard for a long time. It says that during the tempest of last Thursday lightning struck the water of Waquoit Bay, which so affected the eels that they came to the top of the water, their heads out like sea serpents, and swam to the shore. On being taken and thrown back into "the water, th?y immediately come ashore again.' The following morning j some fifteen barrels of el were picked up on the beach.

OD'S, THY COUNTRY'S AND TRUTH'S!"

Uhich will Ye Choose A. WordTto Foreign ;V, " Kara' Citizens. j. ... For "nearly forty years' the Democratic' i,rty retained control of the Governtent of the United States? ' Each recurin Presidential efetion brought to them ruccess at the polls. To this result, . one can doubt, the foreign born citizens contributed in no small degree. During Ui those years the Irish and German j opulation, newly male citizens, voted le Democratic ticket in solid mass, and I i was only when some of them began I forsake its odious principles, and the reign vote was no longer cast as a nit, that the power of the party began : waver.";". ' ' It would seem that the Democratic - trty should therefore have manifested ' me appreciation of such devoted suporters; and we would naturally sup: ose that it would in a , market! degree ave advocated the cause of the foreign orn citizen, and ever be found ready to ght his battles. Yet, how different ave been the facts. J Probably no single feature in the Policy of foreign governments was of Uo great and direct interest to . so large a class of our citizens as the doctrine of perpetual allegiance once a citizen always a citizen which was firmly adhered to by Great Britain, Prussia, Aus: tria, and, in fact, nearly all the principle Governments of Europe. ; To the Irish and German migrant in particular thi's was a matter of deepest concern. . Ho could not safely visit the' land of his birth; or, if he did make the trip, it was with doubt and uncertainty lest he might, on his arrival, be seized by the Government officer and hurried on board the ship or into the ranks of the army. His claim to protection as an American citizen availed him nothing , fox the Government of the Fatherland denied that his declaration of allegiance to the. Uaited States freed him from his obligations to it. '' The many cases of this character which occurred during "good old Democratic tirats" gave ample opportunity to that party to repay, by taking steps to lemedy the evil, tho unswerving devo tion'of the foreign lorn citiaen. , Yet we find n6thing of the kind. rfhe Demo-, cratic party, in this as in ! every other case, had not the nerve to demand that which was right, regardless of conse quences. Daring the forty years of Democratic administration not a thing was done to remedy this state of things, j.nd the fact will ever stand a black mark on the record against theia. On the other hand, one of the first acts of the Republican party on its ac 1 cession to the control of the Governj ment, in I860, was the inauguration of measures looking to the settlement or lhi8 matter The result has been a treaI ty with Prussia, in which the claims of ! the United States were conceded, and 'that nowerl after a res-idence of five years in the United States, relinquishes all claiin to it3 c,tizen3. There can be no (joubt that this principle, first insiste(j upon by the Republican party, will be incorporated in the form of a treaty wjtu other European nations. Free America demands it. What power shall iare refuse ? f 7 , , L Do our foreign born citizens owe any debt of gratitude to the Democratic party, which never had the manhood to -nike the demand ? Probably few of our readers but re i member the case of Father McMahon, a ! Catholic Priest, who, while performing the duties of his sacred calling, after the Fenian skirmish near Fort Erie, was captured by the Canadian militia, and on trial before a British Commission, sentenced to death. The sentence was afterwards commuted to imprisonment for life. Who was it that advocated the interference of the United States Government in the matter? Not any of the Democratic gentlemen who should have been foremost -Hon G. S. Orth, member from this District, called the attention of Cengress of the matter, and "saw it through." Congress passed a resolution instructing our Minister at the Brit ish Court to ask his release, in the name of the United State3. But for the fact that the resignation of Mr. Adams left us for nearly three months without a representative at that Court, it is proba ble Father McMahon would now be at liberty, " ..... r t :-; :, .

29.s Letter from Ex-Governor Brows, of Geor :. - j - ;-; . .-, Atlanta , Aug: 25, 1868. ' Hon. A. H. Conner, Chairman Republican Stats Central Committee, Indianapolis: ; : , Dear Sir: Some unknown friend has forwarded to ' me, through the mail, the enclosed article, headed, "Gov. Brown-;-Gen. Forrest,", whicli purports to be from the Indianapolis Sentinel of the 22d of July, 1868,. from which I. make the following extract: '' "We have the evidence to prove that when Col. Streight's command which was sent' to Rome, Georgia, to destroy the arsenal at that place' was captured by the Confederate force under Forrest, Gov. Brown made a demand upon J eff Davis for their 'delivery to him, so that they could be tried and hung, under a a Mate law of Georgia, for , inciting an insurrection." t , .. , . , '. -1 , Gen. Forrest, whose forces had . fought Col. Streght's command for four or five days, and finally captured them, protested against the compliance with Brown's demand, and insisted that they should be treated as prisoners of war. His protest was effective, and saved the , officers, at least, of Streight s command from the hangman's rope that. Governor Bjown had prepared for them, "Another step. Colonel l-M- Walker was the Lieutenant Colonel of, the ' " .' " ' Indiana, Hathaways regiment. He had a bluck servant, to whom he entrusted the carry ing of. his carbine,; a gun of peculiar pattern, which was fastened to the negro's saddle. .. Failing in his design "to, hang., the . officers t of Streight's command, . Governor Brqwn made a special, requisition , upon Jeff.. Davis for the delivery, to him of Colo nel Walker, so . he, might be tried and huag, undcr a State-law of Georgia, for arming negroes. .". .... r. r . . "Gen. Forrest again stepped forward, and saved Colonel Walker from a felon's death." x.; - v:-t---"": "'-' '"" "CNow I pronounce this whole statement an unmitigated falsehood, without the f semblance of i truth to sustain it. ' I never demanded Colonel Streight's troops, nor Colonel Walker, nor any- other Fed eral prisoner: of Jeff. Davis, for any such purpose, or for ' any other purpose. I never, during the whole war, had 'in' -my possession, aor under my control,' a Federal prisoner, of any name, grade, or rank. . '. '': . ; '- - At the time Colonel Streight and his command were captured, Mr. Davis was in Richmond, and I in GeorgiaJ Either of the demands upon him for the delir-' ery to me of prisoners, as charged by the Sentinel, must have been in writing, and sent by mail or telegraphy or by" staff officer cr other messenger. s I chal--lenge the author to . produce the letterf telegram, or messenger who caried either. He cannot shelter himself under vague reports or false rumors. : I demand ; the proof, and pronounce : him a calumniator till he produces it. , .: ' I not only. , had no control over Federal prisoners, : but the relations between Mr. Davis and myself during the latter Part of the war were ' such that any ! re-1 quest I might have made in their behalf would,' as all who know his temper and disposition, will '-readily admit, much more probably have resulted in their in jury than their benefit e i''" I used all the means at my command, which were justified by the rules of civilized warfare, to secure the success of the Confederacy; but no one can point to a single instance in which I ' transcended those rules by any unauthorized act of cruelty to those then regarded as enemies.
