The&rst signs of alarm I in this locality Jjlcfe witnessed on ! the 10th d'ay ofFebruary, about 1! o'clock in the evening. - This con-1 sisted in what |tlie - people call a; "terrible lumbejifig," ' the earth I seeming to quite r to a frightful! extent. Some parties describe it J. as tenable thunder, gradually dy- ; ir.g away in the- distance; others' i describe the noise as the roaring of! i heavy artillery in the distauce.? !. And on the 12th of February ,twc | ] gentlemen were on the highest I? point of Bald mountain, at what is j known as Harris' view?which is 11 said to be next to lit. Mitchell in i height. On that^day, the gentle-! ^ men heard this Strange noise.

The closing scenes of: this strange meeting are repre-! sen ted as peculiar and wonderful, i During most of this period of1 sixteen days the mountains had! continued at intervals to present! the same alarming impressions.? I3nt having prayed, shouted, sung and agonized for this long period, | they separated with the promise I ( that all would Remain and die if;. necessary, it is saui mat me awe- ( stricken couuteuauce, the melan- ^ choly demeanor of this vast crowd, j on the freaking up of the devo- ( tious, are beyond all description, j In these excited devotions it seems { that all became perfectly resigned j to what seemed an inevitable fate. s All past differences were forgotten f and mutual ainuesty seemed to be * the universal feeling. One old wo- r man, a strong Baptist in her reli- j j pons opinions cried out to brother | f L urn ley, the Methodist minister,! e 'now is the time to unite, as we j ? ire all soon to go to the judg- ^ nent!" It will be proper to re- i nark that many of these people [. vere nut in the habit of attending a :hurch; they lived in the utmost a lisregard of the Sabbath, and have jiven but little attention to edu-! ! :ation. v Whatever may be the nature of I j his terrible "quaking mountain," u t is certain that the effect upon a lie people has been the most won- Q lerful on record. Your readers i night imagine the alarm and ter-; ^ or which would seize the fright- i ned hundreds npen a ship about o go down with the storm in mid j cean, or the rushing from a fall- g. !j<r house, or from a building on 4i v w LI aines, but these alarms arp but tile more than what lias been wit- ^ esseel on Bald mountain and vi- , inity. * This mountain is within a few -r liles of the celebrated .Chimney jc U)tk, and near it is the famous . fat Cave, the Blue RoCk, Sugar m oaf, Bellows Crack, the Whirlools,?ach of which constitutes a Hartis' view ^ Iowa'. j/ lew gushes forth a very largeVg. [iriug called Laurel Spring. The istance from the foot to the top ^ f Bald mountain is fbtir miles.? ^ [.yite a number agree in the statelent that the recent snow would rj, ot stay upon a portion of the lountain. A fecial New York Herald re- ^ orter, writing from Old Fortfuu- j er date of 19th, says: j The low, menacing, rumbling j ^ Dunds continue in their full vol-1 ^ me, daily and hourly, with an oc-! asional sharp discharge like that j ^ f artillery. Near Harris' View there is to be a ?en, it is said, a large rock weigh- ai ig over thirl y tons, which has een split in two .by volcanic acon. and vapor is now issuing >rth its sides. Another one has " een displaced and now lies some ai airty feet from its original posi- ca on. Near which there is a large , ssnrc in the earth. This is the articular point at which the reent suows have melted rapidly. * w Critical Periods of Human Lite. ^ From the age of forty to that a f sixty a man who properly regn- s* itcs himself may be considered in lie prime of life. His matured 1C !rei:gtl#of constitution renders ^ ini almost impervious to tho at- a' icks of disease, and*all the func- ^ ons are iu the highest order.

But ath rart this river is a viaduct called | The Turn of Li^e," which, if s' rossed in safety, leads to the alley, "Old Age," round which the sc iver winds, and then flows beyond, ithout a doubt of causeway to ^ fiect its passage. n' The bridge is, however, construcid of fragil materials, and it deends upon how it is trodden ^ bether it bend or break. Gout, st poplexy, and other bad characters, c re also in the vicinty, to waylay " ;ie traveller and thrust him from le pass; but let him gird up his >ins, and provide himself with ai erfect composure.

One judicious stimulant, a hi !ugle fatal excitement, may force , beyond its strength, whilst a areful supply of props, and the ta ithdrawal of all' that tends to cf >rce a plant, will sustain it in its in eauty and vigor until night has fo early set in. I d< The Use of Tobacco. Tobacco used iu any manner has a powerful effect on the nervous system, which is regulated by the amount used, its method of introduction into the system, or by the idiosyncracies of the individual Persons of sedentary modes of life, those who are finely organized, or j of a highly nervous temperament j are most affected by its use. Its I effects upon the young men are| most marked and injurious. The commonest effects are excitement of the nerves, sleeplessness, loss of fiesh, and general debility. One of the most terrible effects is upon ; the heart, especially in the case of j klin<ir> ttlm nrA nvpili^nnQcrl fn rlis- ' ?~? ?- ?~ t??ir ? ?" | sases of that character. So com-! :non and popular is this disease, ! ;hat it has received the name of! larcotism. The effect of excessive itnoking, upon the mouth, is to irodnce cancer, of the lip, which jxtends to the cheek, and results nost seriously. This is observed u men, but rarely, if ever, in woncn. The effect of tobacco on the! ;kin is unpleasant. It produces' ilindness and deafness, by disa- j ding the optic and aural nerve. Llcohol being an antidote to to)acco, those suffering from its use .re in great danger of becoming ddicted to the use of alcoholic tquors. It causes an early whitenng of the hair, and early baldness, ; vhich are common in America. It ojures digestion. Its bad effect pon the mind was illustrated by \ n allusion to the Ecole Politeck- < ique, in France, where it has been i bserved that the students who re- | ruin from the use of tobacco are < apable of a greater amount of in- \ illectual labor than those who in- | ulge in smoking. A French phyician states that in the course of < iree years' practice he found 21 < ises of the exces-sive use of to- ( acco that resulted in the entire < ioppage of the heart's action.

I consider the absolute equality before the law of all American citizens, without regard to race, as an irresistible deduction from our organic law. The fourteenth amendment of the Constitution of the United States, which- declares that "all persons" born in the United States' are citizens of the same, puts an end to all distinction in law arising out of race, aud places all races upon the footing of absolute legal' equality. Citizens, though colored, are entitled to identically the same rights, privileges, benefits, and advantages as white citizens. The civil rights bill confers no new rights. It only secures by appropriate legislation existing rights which have been denied. I therefore support the civil rights bill with ardor, and will in the same 3pirit support any other measure tending to advance the interests of 3ur colored fellow-citizens. I do this not merely on their account, put because I consider their advancement as of equal benefit to Dur white citizens, for as our colored citizens succeed and have increased interest as property hold-" crs and otherwise in public affairs, ;he greater is the assurance of an economical and faithful adminis;ration of our State government, vithout which there cannot be real prosperity to either race. One of the greatest/ and most ?sential rights of any people is to i good government J Let us all ttrnggle, then, to secu^^ aiffrage. Very respectfully, &c., T. J. BOBEffTSON. Relief for Louisiana.?The New ifork Tribune refers to the letter of Jen. Beauregard upon the con-' lition of affairs in Louisiana, vhich, although it presents no new acts, may, it says, serve as a re-' ninder to Congress of the duty* i? las cruelly neglected. The ucts ire in its possession, and the argument from them on both sides has >een exhausted. It is no answer o the well-grounded complaints of ler people that Louisiana brought his evil condition upon herself by .. he crime of rebellion. Whatever nay be the extent and bitterness >f individual animosities, States, he editor says, cannot afford to larbor such resentment or stave >ff, upon any such miserable pre ext, tiie demand ior jasuce anaair dealing. Her own laws and ribunals will afford no relief; for he one are made and the other resided over by the usurping* lower from which they seek relief, md that power holds in its own lands the facilities for self-perpetuition. Nor do they fear any newIan ger or disaster from the prqcelent of Federal interference, since hat power has been invoked and hat precedent established already, o their cost. They only ask the National Government to put forth n their defence what it has already :xercised to their discomfiture and ti support of their oppressors. Extertaimxg Avitsemext.?Of all he amusements that can possibly >e imagined for a hard-working* nan, after a day's toil, or in its in1ervals, there is nothing like readng an entertaining newspaper.
