TEKB1BLE EAH1HQUAKE IK SOUTHERN EUROPE. Rome, February 23.?Two shocks of j earthquake wero felt at Nice at 6 o'clock | this morning; houses cocked, walls crackod, . and in some cases frail tenements wero thrown to tko ground. Tbo people rushed ( from their houses and fell upon their knees , in the streets praying for dcliveranco from ( sudden death. Visitors to tho city have , become thoroughly frightened and are leav- , ing the place. Jlauy persons were injured by the falling , debris. Tho Princo of Wnles, who was in | Nice a few days ago witnessing tho festiv- . itics which precede thoLcnton season, bad j takeu his departure and was safe at Cannes. , Shocks wore also felt at IMonto Carlo and | Mouaco, at which places they were so re- ( vero that rockB were detached from the , cliffs mid precipitated into the sea. Tho , disturbance existed as far as Genoa. 1 Many Casualties in Nice.?London, February 23 ?A dispatch from Nice, dated noon to-day, says that many casualties were caused by tho oarthquako there this morning. The people aro panic-stricken and the entire population is in the streets. Tho railway station is besieged with visitors who arc anxious to leave at the first chance that offers. Two houses, one in St. Etienncstrect and one in St. l'hilippe street, and tho Maison Dourkc, were destroyed by the earthquake. Threo persons arc buried in the ruins of these buildings. ; There was also a slight 6hock at Mar seillcs this uiorning. The walls of a number of houses iu that city were cracked. Shocks were also felt at Leghorn and Milan and several places iu the proviucc of Genoa, Italy. Further dispatches state that two violcot shocks were felt at Toulon. The first shock was of tuu scuonds duration, and the second of twelve seconds. The uiovouieut was from west to cast. At Caunes three shocks were felt at the same hour. The first shock, which wus very violent, lasted for a minuteThe second and third shocks were not as bcavey as the first. Many persons at this place rushed to the seashore for safety. Nobody was injured. At Avignon three shocks were"V>xpcricuccd between 6 and 8 o'clock. The first shock was very severe and awakened everybody in the place. . Soveral shocks wcro felt at Gonoa at 7 , o'clock. At ~~-<i 1 M-? v..., wuiu U? iiiu uduuuuaM-a uv ii itu J this morning the Itiver was crowded with English nod American tourists and porsons of distinction. When tho first shock oc- . curred tho streets of Nice were fairly thronged with persons in ball-room customcs returning to their homes from the last carniral^iall of tho winter season. To these tho earthquake came with peculiar terror. Shooks wc^o felt with great severity at Savonaj hear Genoa, nud a number of bouses were wrecked and elevon persons k'llcd at that place. A Number of Italian Towns Devastated.?Eearthquakes this morning, devastated tho whole of the Italian Riviera. At Nioli, on the Gulf of Genoa and not far from Savona, several houses fell and fifteen persons were killed. Six persons were killed aud thirty were injured at Oaeglia, also on the Gulf ol Genoa. At Diauo Marino, near Oueglia, scores of people were killed and hundreds were injured. Fully one-third of tho town was destroyed. Second and Severer Shocks in Italy.?Second and severer shocks of earthninkft linvo ni?nnpro<l in !>*??;? -1 ? - ' *?*? j Succa, Cudco, Albissola, Port Maurizio, Oneglia and Noli. At Savona eight persons were killed and fifteen others injured. Immense damage was done to property. Three Hundred Dead at Cervo.? Further dotails from Reviera iucrcaso the di?aster at Carvo near Diaoo-Marina, Three hundred persons wero killed by beiug buried in the ruins of falling buildings. Railway traffic is suspended beyond Savona. The Panic in Nice.?Tho firrt shock created an immediate panic. The women screamod in terror and thcro was a wild rush in all directions for ?afoty from what overy one thought to be an awful impending calamity. The barking of dogs and clanging of church bells added to the momentary terror. People first rushed to the church of Notre Dame and bosieged the confessionals, and a dramatic scene was presented of many strong meu on their knees praying. Then came the second shock. Terror was depicted upon every face, and the praying crowds hastened outsido for safety. Troops wore called out to keep order among f.hft koo'iartin/. * 1 ?? 1 1 -? w.??? mu I an way lurou^n- 1 out tho city. To-day there is a blue and i cloudless sky and warm sun. I One lady jumped from a window in ter- \ tor when the first shock came and now lies t in a precarious condition. I At Leghorn tho oarthquako had a strong undulatory movement,accompauied by un- < derground rumblings, and lasted twelve i seconds. i At Genoa the shock was very violent f and the Ducal Palaoe and many houses I were seriously damaged. There was an enormous crowd at the Carlo Felice thea- i tre to witness a gala performance, and tho < greatest alarm was manifested when tho i shock camo. At Turin the churches suf- i fered severely. In the neighborhood of i Dordigcra many housos fell, killing tho < inmates. I BUCK TO THE FARM. Had wo the car of every young farmer in the Southern States, we would say to him, aud repeat it over and over again, Stick to the farm.' Kuuoble your calling, Educate yourself for it, and by judicious experiments, close observations and untiring labor aud pains-taking, make it the sourco of mental improvement, pleasure and proGt. When we say educate yourself for it, wo do not meut education in the schools aud colleges, though wo think that in these far more attoution should be given to tbc branches connected with itrriAiiltnrn Wo menu ihnt lh? \'nnnt? farmer should, by a judicious course of reading and thinking iu (lie iutcrvals of labor, acquiic tho iutulligcuco that ia indispensable in bis calling. Let him read attentively abort elementary works in geology, chemistry aud plaut physiology. The necessary books can be got for not more than two dollars. Having laid the foundation iu tbese, let him continue the courso through life by subscribing for one or two good newspapers. Wo don't mean agricultural papers which treat of uoth ing hut tho one subject, but good weekly uewspapers, from which he cau store his mind with information ou all topics. Nearly all the leading weeklies have a department devoted to agriculture, conducted by a competent editor. A society of young farmers in each neighborhood would be a most valuable adjuuet. Let him mak) experiments of his own, cautiously, and daily learu something by observation. It is a certaiu fact that every acre of laud, if it has a medium subsoil and is pretty well drained, cau, by careful tallauo and iudieious use of hoinr. mmfr. fertilisers, bo made to yield twice the quau:ity of cotton or corn that it yields with the ordinary tillage. A careful selection of seed ilono will increase the crop, and if perievered in, uiay double the yield and give i permanent variety, valuable not only to die producer, but to his fellow farmers. Let tho young farmer give his attention to hose things, adding daily to his knowledge, idding yearly to his piofits. It is undeniable that agriculture is the civilizer of mankind and tho ultimato source of the ircalth of all nations. Let every young farmer, then, be proud of his calling, and seek to adorn it. Wo aro aware that a spirit of unrest is ibroad among young farmers of tho South. For some years their labors have been hard md their profits small aud slow to accumulate. Many of them fancy that a surer, ihortor, less laborious road to -competenco may be found in the professions, in trade, fir in nthnr Lrimlst nf InKnr In fliifi tlmw ? ?? are mistaken. The depression is widespread?wide as the civilized world?it permeates every avocation, every rank of society. The professions are overcrowded. Here and thero is a professional man who acquires competenco and famo ; but for every one of these there are scores who ckc out a meager subsistauce, very many of them not knowing how they aro to pay their board or houso rent at the end of the month, nor their grocer's and butcher's bills at the end of the week. One rciuls and hears of the successful oues, but not of the others; just as one reads of the few who draw the big lottery prizes among the news items of tho publio prints, but the names of tho thousands who draw the blanks?never ! And in the mercantile business?few young farmers can form a conception ol tho physical and unntal labor the merchant and his clerks and othor employees must undergo. For the former, days of toil and sleepless nights of anxious thought! For tho latter, days of unremitting slavish work, uneasy doubts as to what tho future, with the vicissitudes of trade, may bring! Homeless aud without means or employment ! Can our young farmer friends faucy tho full meaning of these words? And how many merchants succeed in their business ? We have seen it stated, by good authority, that not more than five out of a hundred retire from business with a competence. The othor uinoty-five see their capital ilowly melt to nothingness, or is swept sway at one fell swoop "that brings bank. ruptcy and ruin to the merchant nud loss jf position to his employees. And what of the ether forms of labor in which millions are engaged? What of the great army of wage-workers?is peace, plenty and contentment found in their ranks? Is there no unrost there ? What if the privations they and their families finvn nndiirnd fnr vnnin ? Anrl m..,,.... I.,.. J - ? that most of them arc without homes of their own. What of the exactions of which they complain (whether justly or unjustly we shall not stop to inquire) ? Consider the strikes and lock-outs of the present decade, tho thousands thrown out jf employment, the days, weeks, months ?od years of enforced idleness. And remember that overy strike and lock-out is a sharp two-edged sword that cuts both ways. Employers and employees alike sufTer. Let tho young farmer comparo lots with all these?the professional men, the mershants and their employees, tho wageworkers and their employers. 11 is homeitead is his own, safe to him and his beyond peradventure. It is his capital, that :annot pass irom him by slow degrees nor ost by ono calamitous stroke. For him 1 there are uo strikes nor lock-oats; ho uiay always fiud employment. He has always ( a roof to shelter hiai and his, and food and t raiment for bothl For every farmer can 1 make, with reasonable caro nud industry, f a supply of everything he and his family a need for food, except sugar and coffee. 1 After homo supplies for man or beast, a which every farmer can and should make, a there comes bia money crop. t For the farmer in tho South that monev r f crop is, and for an indefinite tiuie it must be, cotton. We, of course, except localities like that contiguous to our 'Magic City.' Wc say it is and must bo cotton. Aud spite of all that has been said aud written derogatory to our great staple, it is tlio best aud surest- mousy crop iuitlra world. Either in the form in which it comes from the farm or as manufactured goods, wc send our cotton to every paYfof the globe, Tho demand for it is universal, constant, insatiable. Compare coltoo with tho staple money crops of the North. Tuko wheat, for instance. Two acres of fair average land yield thirty bushels of wheat. Two acres of like land in the South yield one bale of cotton. The cotton weighs 450 pouuds, tho wheat 1,800 pounds, or fourtimes as much. Still the cotton will bring considerably more at its ultimate destination than the wheat will. Discrimination and competition may modify tho oconouiic law, but the law itself is axiomatic. That is tho best crop which comprises tho greatest valuo in the least bulk and weight. Moreover, a considerable per coot, of the minoral constituents ot the soil ii exported in the wheat, and to preserve its average fertility, tho fanner must replace theso by the uso of bought fertilizers. Cotton exported takes nothing from the soil, and to preservo its average fertility, it is only necessary that the farmer restore to the soil the seed taken from it?cither the raw' seed or tho droppings of aaimals fed on it. Again, Englaud and tho Continent grow wheat?some of the European ualiois raising large quantities for export. India, , Australia and British Columbia hare become formidable competitors of our wheatgrowing regions, nud uew Golds are being < opened up every year. Years may ooaie 1 when the flush supply of wheat abroad I will reduce tho prico so low as to itop its ' exportation from our country. But the exportation of cotton will never be stopped. ] As a producer of the cotton the world j wants, the South has no rival on tic^glubo < and never will have. I In presenting the merits of our great staple as a money crop, wo would ifit dissuade Southern farmers in favoroi locali- 1 tics from producing other things instead 1 of cotton for market. Dairying; garden- 1 iog, fruit-raising, and the growth tnd fat | toning of bcoves, sheep and bogs for tbc 1 butcher, are, ia many places, far more 1 profitable than tho raisiug of cotton. But, ' except in such places, cotton is our best money crop, aud for tbo reasons we have stated, the best money crop in the world,? The New South. River Versus Railroad.?Augusta, Ga., February 23.?Quite an enthusiastic , meeting of citizens was held in the Cotton Exchnngo this afternoon for tho purpose of forming a compauy to coustruet steamboats to navigate the Savannah River between Augusta and Savannah. Speeches were made by a number of Augusta's most proinineut merchants, all of whoa favored the formation of such a couipauy. It was shown that by having a lino of steamers on the river froight rates to and from ' Augusta could bo considerably reduced, and furthermore our cotton receipts would raiso the price of cotton fully one-eighth. It was also shown that tho line of steamers would be of vast benefit, not only to Au. gusta's commercial interests, but to her manufactories. After speeches the company was formed under the nauio of Au- i gusta's Steamboat Company, to hive a capital stock of $40,000. Eight thousand five huudred dollars of this amount was i raised by subscription from those present at tho maeting, and numbers of others I nave promised lo subscribe, but have not j oa yot decided upon the amount of their | ubscription. It will be specified in the charter that no holder of stock eau sell to outside parties without first offering his j stock at par to the original comp ly, thus preventing any railroad company from gaining control and fixing freight rates. ' There is no doubt of the money being J raised iu a very few days, wheu three ' light-draft boats, eapablo of carrying about one thousand bales of cotton, will bo con- ' structcd and run on tho river. The boats will only draw from two to three feet of , water aud will thus be capable of plying between Savannah and Augusta at all * seasons. i This is considered tho most interesting ] move Augusta merchants havo made in years, and will undoubtedly bo of vast beu efit to the city.?
