Dreadfal Earthquake at Anti gna, Guatamala. The Tnited States flag-ship Rich mond is here. A correspondent of the Star And Berald, writing from Antigua, Guatamala. under the date. of the 4th inst., reports that an earth quake took place there the evening be fore, at 8:3'4P. M. without a.y pre 6 vious warnint. A strong earthquake shook the gound violently iu the di rection frm.-west to east. The move ment was a series of strong vertical and horizontal impulses combined - The wave-like undulations on the surface, rose and fell at least a foot. This, acting all along with above min tioned vertical movement, iade it al ..most iiny6ssible to move about with - out beingthroiwn to the ground. Add ed to this-there were piercing cries of the popuke, creaking and cracking of walls, Iogd sounds like thunder from -the earth-beneath, the rattling noise of tiles, louses, and walls falling, which-a i6gether, formed a hideous concert which can never be forgotten. It was -ery dark, too, and every visible- object was in violent motion. Long after the first shock had pass ed, there was still noise of walls fall ing but tpore or less distant. Sudden Iv there -arose hundreds of voices. chanting a hymn to the Creator for mergy. Shoeks followed during the ni ight of varjing intensities, every one of which gave rise to new alarms and new - implorations for mercy. The night seemed an age in length. For Itunately, .no rain fell. About two dozens house that were inhabited have been destroyed, causing, as far as -.could be learned, the loss of thirty wo lives. The number of houses Sdariaged, -and which will have to be iake down, will be found consider A wle::nGuatamala, the capital, shocks 7weiaelt-but slight. The Indians say that. three villages at the foot of the volcanohave been destroyed, though tiAL wants confirmation.

The many friends of this gentlemen, and particularly along the line, will be glad to hear this. Col. D. has been doing a good work on the road, and is fast placing it in first rate running order.

Monday's Speaking. The inability of Judge Green to keep his appointment and address the people of Newberry on Monday last, was felt as a great disappointment by a number of people who were anxious to hear his arguments on the side of re form. Mr. Dunn, on behalf of the re form party, made some remarks in the morning as a prelude to wvhat he wished to say at night. In the evening the Court House being lighted, a number of white and colored citizens_attended, and addresses were made by Dunn, Thomas and Cain, which were marked with calm and dispassionate reasoning. It was regretted by the speakers and audience that the attendance was not greater, but the fact that Judge Green was absent, and also that the regular republican party were in nominating convention elsewhere, accounted for the slim attendance. Whatever the cause, it is to be regretted that the ad dresses were not heard by a larger number of people, for it is only fair that both sides of the question should be heard. It was announced at the ::onclusion of the meeting that the peo ple of Newberry would be further ad :lressed, and that such time would be selected and arrangements made as would insure a greater attention. On the road to the wedding of Miss Sherman, October 1, the horses at tached to the President's carriage be :ame frightened and ran off, near Seventh street and New York avenue. rhe carriage contained the President ind Mrs. Grant, Marshal Sharpe and ~vife, but none cf them were injured. l'he carriage was smashed, and the President immediately hailed another :eamn on the street and proceeded to :he church, arriving there about five ainutes after the service commenced. Horses have run away before and will continue to do so, and carriages get imashed. But that President Grant hiaied another team immediately and irrived only a few minutes after the :eremony had commenced fills us with idiniration. It is another proof of 11s pertinacitv. The words used are iot given, but it is supposed that he imply said 'cab.' Pity the poverty of the South. Vithin the last six months the down rodden citizens of South Carolina rave expended only $300,000 in arm- I The Third District.

The Con vention was held with opeu doors. and the consequence was a large and in. terested audience, at least half o: which were colored citizens. witnesscd - the proceedings. The choice of the Convention was .wise and good one, a gallant soldiei and a good citizen, generous and libe ral in his views, and having the confi dence of the colored people as well as the estoen of the white, it is but natu ral to believe that he will be elected. The Chairman of the Abbeville Ex ecutive Committee, Joel S. Perrin, Esq., has finished us with the list of Gen. McGowan's appointments for the cam paign, which we attach below-and in a note accompanying the same he states that Abbeville is all alive, and that a handsome majority will be rolled up for him. The following are the ap pointments: Gen. McGowan will address the vo ters of the Third Congressional District at the places named on the days indi cated below: Abbeville C. H., Saturday, Oct. 17; Anderson C. H.,Tuesday, Oct. 20; Wal halla. Thursday, Oct. 22; Pickens~C. H., Saturday, October 24; Laurens C. H., Tuesday, Oct. 27; Newberry C.

The Republican County Convention in Columbia on the 7th nominated for the Senate, Chas. Minort, colored, and F. J. Moses for the House. Jas. Gardner, Esq., for many years editor and proprietor of the Augusta Constitutionalist, and lately of H oyt & Gardner, New York, died on the 7th, in Augusta. Gov. Moses has removed Trial Jus tice W. H. Thomas, of Newberry. He had become too "Independent" for the peculiar party, and hence the cry, "off with .his bead." This is the way they do.* The Fourth Congressional District through their delegates in Columbia, on the 7th, unanimously ricommended Gen. J. B. Kershaw for Congress. T ais nomination is the death knell of Cartridge-box Wallace, who, it is said, don't like the looks of affairs. It is pretty sure that the old reprobate will have to remain at home this time and allow an honest man to take his place. The Winnsboro News says he has re ceived in six years $37,000, $5,000 of which was grabbed as back pay. The corner-stone of the Piedmont Mills was laid on the 3rd: and the oc casion, it is said, was highly interest ing. A copy of the charter, together with the names of the Stockholders were deposited in the cavity, also a copy of the charter of Recovery Lodge of Greenville. and several coins by Mr. McBee. There was a speech by Capt. Gray, dinner for the crowd, dancing in the afternoon for the young people. and some courting. The fol lowing inscription was cut on the north face of the stone: Piedmont Manufacturing Company. . Chartered Feb. 13th, I874. H. P. H-ammett, Pres. On the east face was the following: G. B. Rooks, contractor and builder of Itone and brick work. WV. T. ])avis, carpenter and mill wright. Reform. W. H. Thomas, delegate from New berry to the Independent Republican Convention. spoke for reform in the following conciliatory manner: During the absence of the commit tee, Thomas, a colored delegate from Newberry was invited to address the convention. He made a stirring speech, in which the Bond Ring were effectually shown up. It was time that a stop should be put to crime and fraud in the State. It was time that the country should understand that the citizens of the State demanded peace and good government. It was a fallacy to say that in this movement the Republicans of the State were abandoning their party principles. The plain truth was that the people ini their might intended to rise, and shake off the shackles of slavery and' political bondage. [Cheers.] The col ored people had given evidence of their earnestness by asking their white fellow-citizens to join them in this effort. Initelligence and respectability must rule in the future, and the color ed race must see to it that they were educated up to the standard. By har monizing it was not meant that either race should giv-e up its party princi ples. It meant only that both the miajority and minority should have a fair representation in the government. Aud there could be no permanent peace or prosperity until this was established. [Cheers.] Ninety-nine years ago the American people had rebelled against the British Govern ment because they were taxed without represen tation. Howm could. the.. e.. in four or six years from now the white race will be in the majority in this State. It is bound to come to this. and if we show now that we are willing to share the government with them, we will ge-t the saic from them when the white majority shall have reached and passed the colored vote. It is common sense to do this,nothing more. How can we expect the Demo crats to give us a share in the govern ment, when they obtain possession of it, if we don't divide with them now. From this the speaker turned to the movement for reform. He earnestly urged upon his race the necessity of working fo- the great movem-nt. He said that he h-d been in the Union aray during the late war, but he for one was willing to shake hands across the bloody chasi and forget the past, and unite with the Conservatives in securing wealth and prosperity to the State. [Applause.] [Neu.s d! Courier. The Conservative Convention. This body convened in Columbia on the 8th, and was represented by all the countie's except Horry, Lancaster, Pickens and Union. Simpson Bobo, Esq., of Spartanburg, was called to the Chair. Great unanimity of feeling marked the deliberations of the as semblv in its determination to make no nomination. The wisdom of this course is not to be questioned. The delegates from Newberry were Messrs. Jno. 8 Hair, Wi. Ray and Joseph Caldwell. The following embodies the action of the Convention: The Convention adopted, without a dissenting voice, the following pream ble and resolutions: Whereas, the Republican party be ing in the majority in this State, is re sponsible for its government, and the Conservatives of the State having de clared that if the Republican party would n9winate for Governor and Lieu. tenant-Govenor men of their own par ty of honesty and character, entitled to confidence, the Conservatives would refrain from opposition to them; and whereas the regular nominating con vention of the Republican party have nominated for Governor and Lieutenant Governor men whose antecedents show them to be unworthy of confi dence, and whose success will insure the continuance of the corruption, dishonesty and party tyranny, which have prostrated the State; and where as the independent wing of the Re publican party has declared its itten tion to reform the government of the State and in pursuance of this in tention have made nominations of men whose antecedents entitle them to confidence in their integrity and honesty, for which nominations they have asked the support of the conserv ative voters of the State; and whereas we recognize that in the present condition of the State the necessity of checking corruption and procuring honest officials is paramount to all questions of party politics of affiliation; and believing that the only opportuni ty afforded of securing such reform will be in the success of the nominees of the Independent Republican par ty : Resolved, That it is the sense of this Convention, called "to eonsider the necessity of making nominations for State officers in the approaching elec tions," that no nomination for Govern or or Lieutenant-Governor in the ap proaching election be miade by the Conservative citizens of the State. Resolved, That in the opinion of this Convention the Conservative citi zens will best promote the interests and welfare of the State by giving their support to the candidates for Governor and Lieutenant-Governor nominated by the Independent Repub lican party. Resolved, That we adopt as the plat form of the Conservative party of South Carolina, honesty and economy in the admiinistration of the state Gov ern meut. The following gentlemen were ap pointed the State Executive Commit tee: Hon. S. Bobo, Chairman; 1st Dis trict--Col. J. W. Harrington, Col. B. H. Wilson ; 2d District-Gov. J. L. Manning, Gen. James Conner; 3d Dis trict-Col. Woi. Wrallace, Col. J. N. Lipscomb; 4th District-Col. James MlcCollough, Col. James H. Riou; 5th District--Hon. W. F. Colcock, Gen. M1. L. Bonham. The Executive Committee for the County of Newberry are Messrs. D. 5. Pope, WV. T. Tarrant and J. C. Wilson. It was also resolved that the dele gates to the Conventioti attend to hav ing supervisors appointed for each election precinct in their respective Counties by the Judge of the United States Circuit Court. The work of the Convention having been performed faithfully, efficiently and harmoniously. upon motion of Col. Erins, of Spartanburg, Gea. Kershaw addressed it in a* masterly speech, full of those, wise, pacific and! just counsels which distinguish his utterances. He alluded in pathetic terms to his belief that divine Provi dence had inspired the action of the Convention, and directed it to the only mode of eLcape from the evils which surround the State. lie dwelt with efiect upon the duty of a full recogu.i tion of the rights of the colored race, and upon the duty and necessity of seeking their co-operation in all meas ures tending to the rehabilitation of the State, the restoration of its pros perity and the recovery of its good name. Should he be elected to the House of Representatives for which position lie had been nominated, he would address himself with all his powers and all his zeal to the grateful tasks which would then devolve upon him. He discerned already a change in the feeling of the people of thisI great country towards the Southern States. and it would be the ambition of his life to throw himself upon the wave of its returning justice. He felt i conviction that he would live throught hese dark times and yet see such rep meantativesas e nowr Inlooke upon A rather singular experience is this furnished by Mr. John Lomax, to the Abbeville Press and Banner. There must have been a screw loose some where. Will some of our good far mers of Newberry tell us what guano does for their crops. Mr. John Lomax who is an excel lent farmer, was in our offlice yester day and gave us his experience in an experiment in raising wheat ou guano ed laud. le sowed a bushel of 'he finest seed wheat to be found. and put a hundred bushels of cotton seed ai;d two hundred pounds of guano on the eacre of ground, expecting to reap no.i less than fifty or sixty bushels. Ii the Spring it grew off finely, and was to all appearances the best wheat ever growu in the community, headed out long heads, the neighbors spoke for seed. but when it was threshed it was found to be without grains, and onlyl one bushel and a peek were realized. Mr. Lomax don't believe in guanos. He says he wouldn't distribute it on the fields for it. In putting guano on a field of cotton he omitted the guano on a few rows at various places in the field to tesf the advantages, and he thinks it produced better where there was uo guano. The Beecher-Tilton scandal is slight ly mixed across the water, as will be seen by this account of a French cor respondent, which says "The Beecher-Tilton scandal is en chanting, interesting and delighting Europe." The Journal de Marsellaise calls it "I Affaire Beecher, Stilton et Vict:>ria Vodhull. Becher, Stilton et Victoria VodhulL are described as clergymen of the Anglican denomina tion, and a wonderful account is given of their adventures. It would seem that these thtee persons have somehow or oth-er been led astray by IMadame Breecbstow, wl-o is stated on good authority to be the mother of Uncle Tom." The Greenville Daily News says that Dr. 3. W. Simpson, of Laurens, was lately in town, and speaks hope fully of having the railroad from New berry to that place. A desideratum devoutly wished. Brief Mentions. A rifle club was organized at Bordeaux, abbeville County, on Saturday last. All the cotton mills at Fall River, Mass., are now running only three days in the week. Seventeen suspected abductors of Charlie Ross have been arrested since the boy was lost. Six thousand persons attended a concert and festival given at New Orleans on Tues day night, for the benefit of families of citi zens in the late conflicts. Dr. Hayes declares his conviction that the open Polar Sea can be reached by a steam vessel via Smith's Sound, and announces his readiness to start when the means are forth coming. The town of Antigua, Guatemala, was de stroyed by an earthquake Friday night. Gua temala City must have suffered severely, as the earthquake was felt four leagues from Antigna. "Yes, Job suffered some," said an Illinois deacon, "but he never knew what it was to have his team run away and kill his wife right in the busy season, when hired girls want $3 per week." The Prince of Wales finds It impossible to live on 5700.000 a year. He must be an ex pensive luxury. Will lhe not deplete the British treasury when he ascends the throne ? He has been reading a history of South Caro lina politicians. There are $5,000,000 of uncollected taxes in New Orleans in the present and past year year to the State and local authorities, sim ply because the people cannot find mens to pay them. Is. it any wonder that the people became desperate? Nineteen States will elect United States Senators this winter, including Verniont, Maine, Indiana, Nebraska, West Virginia, Louisiana, Deleware, Florida, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, New Jersey. New York, Pen nsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee and Wisconsin. The time is rapidly approaching when civ ilization will soar npon its luminous wvings fcom the towers of the St. Louis bridge to the snowy summic of the Sierra Nevada, but the unmarried and immortal man will go onJ bursting his "galluses" and splicing them with a shoestring until he gets a wife to look after him. An exchange tells us that "twenty-seven negroes in Ouachita parish. Louisiana, have organized a white man's club, and are co operating with the leaguers of Louisiana. " This action on the part of the negroes shows that they would all have been born white men C if they had each had a white man's chance. ~ This is the way the elections have gone this] year thus far: Democratic-New Hlamp shire, Connecticut, Oregon, Arkansas; Ken tucky, Tennessee, Montana, North Carolina, Wyoming, Colorado, all by increased majori ties. Republican-Vermont, Maine, both by decreased majorities. No contests-Rhode i Island, Utah. A meeting was held at Charlotte N. C., on Friday, and a cotton factory company organ ized, with the following officers; A. B. Da vidson, p)residen t: A lIen Macauhiuy, vice-presi dent; R. Y. Mei.den, John E. Brown, M. E. Alexander, WV. R. Cochran, W. R. Myers, ~ D. G. Maxwell, Thos. W. Darvey, John J. ' Butler, directors; T. H. Hlervey, secretary and treasurer. .Senator Robertson, of South Carolina, takes a different view of the affairs in that I State than his colleague, Senator Patterson, formerly of Pennsylvania. As Mr. Robert son was born in South Carolina and has al ways lived there, his observations are of a S great deal more importance than Mr. Patter son's. He says that the more respectable Republicans of the State will oppose the elec tion of Chamberlain, an.1 will unite probably si upon Judge John T. Green, the man whom F the Conservatives are ready to support. Mr. Robertson says Chamberlain, if elected, would ouly be a second elition of Moses, and ti he adds the most gratifying assurance that the prospect of defeating him with Green is very good.

Thse best nove let chat has appeared, for years, is that of "1' he Marriage Certificate," by Mrs. Anu S. Stepheus.

A BEepresentative and Champion of American Art Taste! -0 PROSPECTUS FOR_1875-EBH1TH YEAR, T.HE A LD INE, THIE ART JOURNAL OP AMERICA, ISSUED MONTHLY. "A Magnificent Conception, wonderfully carried out. -0o- - The necessity of a Popular medium for.the ( representatioun of th,e productions of our great ar-tists, has always. been recogniized,. andi many attemxptshave been mnadeto meet the want. The successive failures which so invariably followved each attempt in this country to establish an art journal, did not prove the iniiference of the people of America to the claims of higth art. So soon as a prop~er appreciation of the want and an ability to meet it were show n,. the public at once rallied wvit h enthiusiasmi to its support, and the result was a great artistic and comn mnercial triumph-TIl E ALDINE - TilE ALDINE, while issned with all the regularitry, has n.one of the temporary or. timely interest enarneateristic of ordinary - periodicals. It is an elegant miscellany of pure, light, anzd graceful literature; and a collection of p)iecurs, the r-arest specimens of artistic skill,in black and white. Alhg each succeeding number affords a fresh pleasure to its friends, the real value and beauty of TIHE A LDINE will be most app)re ciated after it is boundr up at the close of the I year. The possessor- of a compllete volume I can not duplicate the quantity of fine paper and engravings in any other shape or num ber of volumes for ten times-its cost; and then, there is the chr-omno, besides ! The national feature of THE ALDINE must - be taken in no narrow sense. True art is cosmopolitan. While TifE ,ALDINE is a sticjtly Amierican institution, it. does not tq confin-e itself entir-ely to the reproduetion of a native. .art. Its mfssion Is to cultivate a broad an~d app)reciative art taste, one that will .aiscrimmuate only on grounds of intrin-. . sic merit. Thus, 'white placing before the - patrons of TLIHE A LDINE, -as a leading char acter-istic, the productions of the mostnoted A merican artists, attent.ion will always be given to specimens from foreign masters, giving subscr-ibers all the pleasure anid in struction obtainable from home or foreign sources. Thie artistic illustration of American scen ery, original with THE AL DINE, is an im portant feature, andl its magnificent plates ' at-c of a size more appropriate to the sat is fact ory treatment of details than can be at for-ded by any inferior pae. The literature of THLE A LDINE is a light a-nd graceful ac comipaniment, worthy of thxe artistic feia tures, with only such technical disquisit ions T as do not interfere with the popular inter est of the work. 1'REMIUM FOR i875.
