The atmosphere fftraa filled with a thick vapor or gas, to m the lights imparted a purple tinge^thewater of theMississippi river became thick with mud thrown up |>om the bottom the earth outlie shores opened inwlde fissures, and closing Again, threw the water, mud and kaud in huge jets higher than the topi of the trees. After shaking the val ley of theMississippi to the centre,the Wrthquake vibrated along the courses of the rivers and valleys, and died on the Atlantic shores. Hills disappeared pnd lakes were found in their stead; nAmCrous lakes became elevated gronud, while In many places the earth for miles were sunk below the Itfvfel'pf Che surrounding country. * |n'the Vicinity of New Madrid the earth broke into innumerable fissures, the bones of the Mastodon and other gigantic animals were brought to the surface.' ' Prof. Lyell In his books of travels, relates the reminiscences of a citizen trho ‘Witnessed the earthquake when p child, he described the camping out bf the people in the night when the first shock occurred^md others drawn outof the ruins, dead. He also con- j}rityed the published account of the Inhabitants availing themselves of the fallen trees to prevent themselves from being engulfed in open fissures. Jn - that part of the forest which borders on what is called the ''‘sunk country,h all trees belonging to the time prior to 1811, although staml- lugf" erect and entire, are dead. ^They are supposed to have been killed loosening of the roots during the tepeated' undulations which passed through the soil for three months in succession. * ‘The‘‘sunk country” extends.along the course of the White Water and |ts tributaries for a distance of Seventy or eighty miles north, and bonth, and thirty miles east and west. An interesting coincident is, that at that very time the first steam-boat Vogage ever made in those western Waters occurred, and those on board Witnessed the earthquake. - v An earthenske occurred in Califor- -KnEtr In October, 1865, the movement bf which were perpendicular, and the bfTe'ct was to shiver and break glass Into atoms, but comparatively few Walls were shaken down or injured, ^ot so, however, with the oue oc curring In October 1868, very little IjlAsS Was broken, but many cornices, awnings and walls were thrown down, in Ban Francisco, Oakland, San Lean dro, Ban Jose, Redwood and other places many building ' were thrown doAb.

J Editor Aiken Recorder: Tn my last communication I laid ponsiderable stress on making “work ing mi>ohines of children. Now, I do pot wish to he understood as being an k(}vocate of allowing children to do Zi'dthingbut goto school. On the con- Wary, I deem it an important part of it boy’s eduation, to learn to ploW/bpe, dqt, reap, etc., for tlie girls lb learn to copk, wash, scour, make Mid mend clothes and such duties as belong to house-keeping. But I do think It criminal on the part of par ents. to keep them away from school as much as they do. Oiie cause of the neglect of education iu this county is poverty. A large percent age of parents in the county are too poor to do without the help of their children at home and p a Y even the lama'll tuition fees charged by the fcouutry teachers. Quite a number lire too stingy, they would rather air 'children grow up in ignorance, in spend a few dollars, »w nmKcrs, to co behalf of their ignor ant children. Do you know there are ! hundreds of men and women in this jour noble County, that can neilher read nor write, and even more ehild- | reu? Use your efforts in this direc tion and benefit a majority*;" the peo ple in our county. You will not only gain the plaudits of your fellow coun trymen, but when your life shall have been finished and you are lain to rest with your fathers, you actions will speak in your praise for ages to come. The present ignoiaut children of Aiken County will after years, not only meet, but hunt up the chrildren of Bell, Aldrich, Cobh, Bailey and Jordon, and say to them, “the noble work your fathers did for the cause of free schools in the Legislature of South Carolina, in the session of 18S6, enabled us to learn to read and write, enabled us to learn to read the Bible and find the “way of life,” and their memories will ever be enshrined i:; a tender place in our heart of hearts, ’twill be our delight to aid you, their children in any and every way in our power, and we shall ever pray God’s richest blessings upon you.” • I have written what l feel and what many others feel and think. I hope the suoject will be agitated warmly by our people. Citizens of Aiken County speak through the press, your opinions on school matters. They are in a deplorable condition in com parison with other States. Let otir Legislators know what you think, so as to aid them in shaping their ac tions while n Ct lumbia. In my next, i intend writing of teachers salaries, etc. T. —— —■ Yam-1 use Better. From Our Itctcular Corrc.-pomlcnt. Vau* i.tjsk, 8. C., I September 5th, 1SS6.J On the 15th of July, Rev. J. L. Tillman, his sou Charlie and his nephew, Mr. A. W. Brooks, and our faithful pastor, Rev. W. II. Wrotor, began a protracted meeting in Vau- cluse. The services were conducted by the Rev. J. L. Tillman, a Metho dist Evangelist from Darlington, S. C. Mr. Tillman, is beyond a doubt, one of the best Christians and best revival ist anywhere in the South. The union services were held in the Baptist Church, as the Methodist* have no Church here; the first week and by that time the congregation had grown so large ‘that the Church building could not hold more than half the peo ple, so Mr. Tillman went to Augusta and procured a large tent and erected it near the depot, and there it remain ed until the loth of August, and dur ing the month there was great good done in and around Vaucluse. Quite a number were converted,among them two infidels. The membership of the Methodist was increased from eleven to seventy-eight. Thirty six wentto the Baptist Church and two went to the Lutheran Church—making a total cf one hundred and five. The last night of the meeting eight joined the churches, and there were but few who were willing for the meeting to close then, for our part, we wish that it had been continued till everybody in Vaucluse had become Christiana and joined the church. But we can truth fully say, that it was the greatest meeting and did more good work than any meet ing we ever attended or heard of; and the oldest inhabitants of this section say that there was noth ing that ever equalled it in their opin ion in the world, and we do not be lieved that Sum Jones nor Mr. Moody could have done more good or had a better meeting, or could have pleased the people better than Uncle Tillman did, for nearly everybody in this sec tion loves and honors him. We would to God that the world was full of such men. During, the progress of the meeting, Revs. Mr. Beaty and Mr. Clark, of Edgefield C. H., lent a help ing hand. Brother Beaty preached two Hue sermons. Our pastor, Brother Wroton, preached several fine ser mons, and assisted all lie could in the meeting, but he could not be with us all the time, as ho has three churches in his charge this year, and since the close of our glorious meeting Brother Wroton has been kept busy receiving applicants into the church at every appointment, and still the good work goes on, for there are more joining every week, and at his next appoint ment he will have quite a number to receive into full connection. Rev. J. li. Brigmnn, Miss Bailie Davis, Miss Mollie Castleberry, Miss Patsj- Beas ley,and other good Christians assisted in the Camp-meeting. The dear good people of Grnnite- ville came up and did all they could of a prayer meeting conducted by Rev. J. 13. Brignnm and other j brothers. j \Y. h ve been wanting to write you ; i let ter for some tliqe, but for lack of! time we did not, for a great deal of our ! lime now is spent in soliciting sub-) scriptions lo build a Methodist church ! at Vaucluse, and atrzone who will he ! so kind and generous as to scud us a donation, it will certainly be thankfully received, for we have only about four hundred and fifty dollars so far, and we will have to collect very fast for Mr. C. M. Maull, of Johnston, the contractor and builder, will soon be ready for bis first payment, so Dr. Bniith is calling on all his friends as fast as possible for contributions and is meeting with great success. There is a large assembly of Knights of Labor here; they are well organiz ed, with Robert Butler as Master Workman. They number about two- handled and fifty and more still join ing. They meet every Saturday night. Two weeks ago we thought that the Knights of Labor organization was the biggest and strongeJx thing in this country, but now we are forced to think that the earthquakes are the largest and strongest things in thia country, and at any rate we try to keep out of Their way when the houses begin to shake.

You say “abolish the freeschool system altogether.” Ought South Carolina to place herself by so doing, before the world as opposed to com mon school education? Make herself k' laughing stock for the rest of the States? No, how then? Double the T"<i mill school tax and thereby double the school term, or if that is not enough, increase the poll tax. If the shoo! term were double it would • ihen be short enough, it ckn be ar- iranged to have eigth months free iohool and allow the boys to plow four faionths too, out of the twelve. town, and for all of which we are very thankful for. The good begun '!lien by Mr. Charlie Tillman's singing and his father’s preaching is stiff going on, and we know will never be forgotten by the dear people of this community, and we feel that if any preaching will bring sinners to Christ, Brother Till man’s earnest preaching will do the work. Then, let us urge the Chris tians of every town' to get Uncle Till man and his corps, to come and pitch his Gospel tent in their midst, and there stay until everybody are Chris tians. Mr. Tillman will commence a meeting somewhere in Edgefield very soon, (for his tent lias already gone to Trenton), and we hope that the good people of my dear old County will take him to their homes and to their hearts and treat him the very best they can, and this I know that they will do when they learn that he is a native of dear old Edgefield County.

He always asks for more. Oh, no; it is no trouble to get my children to take medicine.” Old Pictures Copied and Enlarged W. A. RECKLING lUMBIA. 8. C.

An Edgefield Man who Takes no Stock in the “One-Gkillus” Tillman Movement. Greenwood Tribune. Senator James Callisoii, of Edge- field, who is one of tho most clear headed and best infer mid men in tin State, made a speech at Liberty Hill, on Tuesday of last week to a large au dience, In which i»o reviewed the sit uation <>f public affairs and said things that aught to have been heard by everybody. Among other things he spoke of the farmers’ movement, and the proposed agricaltuial college. He said that the idea that the fanners out to take con trol of the State government or of any department thereof was wrong. If the farmers should take control of tho agricultural department then why should not the teachers take control of the educational depart ment, and the lawyers of the judicial department? It was all wrong, he jsaid, for any class or profession to talk about control ling any department, of the State government. Just as the farmers are interested in all the de partments, so the lawyers, the doctors the toachers and the merchants are interested in the agricultural depart ment. In regard to the proposed agricul tural college, he said he did not be lieve sucii an institution was needed and he did not believe it would bi made successful. We regret that we cannot give a fuller summary of this able speech. Senator G’ailison is a farmer and a lawyer and he has a right to speak upon this matter. He is always cool aud clear headed and he is never carried 'away by enthusias tic demagogues nor by popular ap plause. He does h*s own thinking and is never afraid to express his uonest views on any public question A Northern Tribute. Springfield Republican. The Senators from the Southern States are in the main a fine body of men. They have some of the Sou th em peculiarities of character and teni- perment, but they owe their election much less than iu some of the States of the North to the arts of the demagogue and the manipulation of the politician. Gen. Butler, of South Carolina, so famous ten years ago for his reputed connection with the Ham burg massacre is one of thehandsom- est, smoothest-voiced aud mildest- mannered men in the Senate, and on financial questions he is nearly al ways found voting with Edmunds, Hawly and Dawes, Randall Gibson, of Louisiana, has many of the same qualities as Butler, and even in the House he was known as one of the few Democrats who were opposed to breaking down tne national credit. The Southern Senators seldom have to stoop to the arts of the demagogue because they feel secure iu their po sitions. While Evarts is straddling the silver question and Warner Miller is sending out thousands of copies of his speeches on oleomargarine so as to make himself “solid” with the dairy interests, the Southerners quietly vote according to their convictions, speak when they have something to say and leave clap-trap to those who need to o uploy it.
