I take the liberty of addressing you, asking for information of the wants and desires of the people cf South Carolina In the great question o? the day, so far as the South is concerned, viz: En?gratioc. We have bad Southern Com? mercial Conventions, and they have all resolv? ed that emigration must turn from Its Westward coarse and seek the rich fields of the South. But when are we to have the1 emigrant! I be? lieve that the only means of turning emigra? tion Southward ls through individual gene? rosity and individual enterprise. A real es? tate house in Memphis has just made arrange? ments to forward laborers from this city to Tennessee. Already thirty or forty families are leaving daily for that country. They se? cure them labor before they engage them here. Very liberal terms are offered them of coarse. Toe South is regarded by these peoplo as a frightful country to live In, and as one that offers 110 Inducements to the emi? grant. Offer the German a bonus of land as an Inducement, though, and he will face all the imaginary evils he fancies most be confronted in the South. It is true that our people aro poor, but they are rich In land, and land ls the greatest Inducement that can be offered the emigrant Will our ?people give of their abundance, thereby increasing their wealth four or five hundred per cent, at a modest calculation? I have on my books over a mil? lion acres of -o-suieable South Carolina land, Yary?Sjj m ^prlce irom~mty"cefitS~ttJ arv uv. lars per acre. If every man would give of his thousand acres one hundred, and of his hundred acres ten, the wast1} desert places would b? made to blossom, and prosperity and plenty would once more reign in the much loved land. Instead of the prices of these lands varying from fifty cents to five dollars, and no prtrchasors, they would find ready sale at from five'dollars to fifty dollars per acre. On these terms it will pay to be generous. Why tum attention to Chinese emigration when we can have white men, and such a thrifty race of -rrhites as the Germans, among us? I proposo to open at this office a sub? scription list of lands to be given bonus to Germans or Irish who will go South to labor-planters to name the amount of land they will donate to each' laborer, and the rate of wages he pays^ ^pTomlslng at the same time to employ those, who are sent to him on his order at the cni^omary rate of pay-tho land to be entirely bonus and given In fee the laborer to work for a certain number of months, at the expiration of which he must either improve his land or continue tn the em? ployment of the planters. The land to be good arable land or unimproved lands of same agricultural value, and not marsh or swamp lands. Should these liberal terms be offered, I have no doubt that I cotdd send thousands to our agent in Charleston. The only question is, can the people of South Carolina see the great advantage of this liberal policy to the stranger ? Will the-y donate lands to enrich themselves ? ^spectrally yours, J.

General McMahon, ex-United States Minister to Paraguay, who arrived at Washington on Monday last, was with Lopez up to July last, when he received his recall, and started Im? mediately for the United States by way of England. At the time of the evacuation of Asuncion General McMahon left the United States Legation in charge o? the Italian Min? ister, and one of the first acts of the Brazilian troops was to sack the house occupied by the legation, destroy the flag and take possession of some two hundred thousand dollars in specie, which had been left there on deposit To accomplish that object the iron safes were blown open with gunpowder, and the archives of the legation wero scattered In the street where a number of them wera nicked up by Mr. Worthington, then United States Minister 'to the Argentine Confederation, who was on a visit to Asuncion. General McMahon speaks of Lopez in terms en? tirely different from the accounts which have been published by Messrs. Bliss and Masterman. Be represents him as a man of affable manners, but most determined in his acts, though many statements of atrocities alleged to have been per? petrated by his orders are whoUy without foun? dation in truth. That he ordered the execution of his brother is true, but that was upon convic? tion after a protracted trial for conspiracy, and his mother and sister, who are represented to have been killed by bis order, are still living, and his devotion to his mother is all that could oe re? quired of a son. After Lopez left Asuncion, a Dr. Stuart, the medical director of his army, was entrusted with a large amount of money to be deposited In Scot? land for the benefit of the children of Lopez, but as soon as he got possession he deserted to the Brazilians. Shortly after that the commander at Angostura, named Thompson, wrote to Lopez that he was prepared to stand a siege of at least a month, and received m reply instructions to hold out for eight days, and after that time to usc his own discretion. Before the expiration of the eight days, Stuart communicated with Thompson and informed him that Lopez had been defeated, and was flying, with but a small remnant of his army left. Under the Impression that Stuart had been taken prisoner, not suspecting that he was a deserter, Thompson yielded to his entreaty and surrendered thc post, which was the strongest on the River La Plata. The garrison consisted of about two thousand men, more than half of whom shortly after found their way back to the camp of Lopez. Most of the victories of the allies, which have represented such great slaughter or the Para? guayans, are said to have been Imaginary, and one of the most Important, for which the cities of Montevideo and Rio de Janeiro were illuminated, never occurred at alL . General McMahon left Lopez at Ascnra, and he was determined to fall back to the Cordilleras, where it would be impossible for the allies to fol? low him, as their lines of communication will be so long that they cannot get supplies. The re? sources of the Paraguayans are said to bc unlim? ited. While the greater part of the armv are sup? plied with flint lock muskets, they are amply sup? plied with ordnance and ammunition, all of which they manufacture. The Paraguayans are reported to be excellent soldiers, far superior to the Argentines, who are much better than the Brazilians, and the devo? tion of the Paraguayans to their country and leader ls without a parallel Lopez is not strong enough to make aggressive war, but in defence he has all the advantages, and can select his own ground of combat. Gencrsl McMahon hos no doubt of the final success of Lopez, as the war costs him comparatively little, while the allies prosecute their aggressions at enormous cost. It is a part of thc system of the allies to permit nothing to pass through their lines that will re? flect unfavorably against their cause, and they went so far as to refuso to allow the dispatches from the United States Government to General McMahon to pass for tight months. When the order for his recall was sent on, that was permit THE EARTHQUAKE DOWN EAST. New Rug land Greatly Agitated-Dura? tion and Effects of the Shock-Previ? ous Earthquakes. .The Boston Advertiser, of Saturday says: Tho Bhock or an earthquako was reit yesterday morning by all early risers In this city and vicini? ty, and by many persons not "early birds," who were awakened by lt. The motion was a vibra? tion like the jarring of a heavy team in its pro? gress over a rough pavement, and many people attributed lt to that cause. It seems to have ex? tended throughout this State, New Hampshire, and a portion li not the.whole of Vermont and Maine, to and including New Brunswick. When the awful power of such convulsions ls considered, it will excite universal gratitude that no serious damage was done. Doors, blinds, windows, crockery-ware and loose household articles of all kinds were gently rattled, and many nervous peo? ple popped Into their clothes very hastily; but nobody was hurt, and not even a glass broken. lt is reported that a gentleman living a little north of Harvard College was suddenly awakened out ot a sound sleep, and at first thought thc Watertown arsenal had blown up. His bed was quite violently moved, lint horizontally four times from north to south, and afterward up and down the same number of motions. A female domestic in his family, who had great fear of ghosts, and who for the first time had been persuaded to sleep in a room In which an aged lady had recently died, was so frightened at the shock that she came wildly rushing to her mistress, exclaiming, "Oh I mis? sus I missus I the old 'oman ls under the bed 1 thc old 'oman ls under the bed I" The shako might have lasted ten seconds hardly more. It ls to be hoped that some scien? tific notice was taken of lt, that we maj be able to learn the direction of the wave. Just at this time, when the Intelligence from South America ls expected in dally anxiety, on account of pre? dictions that will not be laughed away, it would be exceedingly interesting to discover rrom what direction we received this shock, which may not unnaturally appear as the spent force of some terrible convulsion of our continent. The shock was quite severe la Newburyport, shaking the doors and windows and many mov? able things in the houses. The people generally were uwakened by the commotion. An old brick mansion house, built seventy years ago, havlug the thick, massivo walls so common In those days, was sbuken from the roof to thc cellar, rat? tling the doors and windows, and creating gene? ral alarm among Its occupants. lu the interior of this State the shock appears to have been lighter. ? j In New Hampshire thc shock was reit at Con? cord, Nashua, Lancaster, Manchester, Bristol, Laconla aud Littleton, aud it is reported to have been quite severe at Wells River, \ t. In Concord there were two distinct shocks, occuring withlu fifteen seconds of each other,- each lasting less than half a minute. No damage was done, al? though beds and other articles or furniture, and even the houses themselves, were considerably shakenl In Lancaster and Nashua the houses were sensibly shaken, and the doors, windows and furniture were rattled with such violence as to arouse people from their sleep. Dispatches have been received from a dozen towns in Malue announcing the occurrence of the shock at the same hour-hair-past 5 o'clook. In Rockland there was a sensible trembling or the earth with the usual accompaniments. In Au? gusta the shock ls said to have lasted more : ?inn a minute. Door bells were rung and nearly every? body was awakened. The dispatch from Wiscasset says the earthquake lasted three minutes; but it ls hardly probable that this village alone should have beeu so singularly distinguished, all the other reports confining the duration or the shock to one minute or less. Thu earthquake was also felt at Portland, Waterville, Gardiner, Bangor, Bcirast, Lewistown and Kendall's Mills, but its effects were limited to the shaking or buildings, the rattling or windows, and the like. The shock seems to have extended no further East than St. John, New Brunswick, where it "shook the clock In the telegraph office" A dispatch received from Hartford says: "A shock of earthquako was distinctly reit lu differ? ent parts or this city about 5 o'clock this morn? ing. lt was also felt in Windsor and other parts of the State." On the 1st or June, 1638, an earthquake took place In the New Bnglaud States sufficiently vio? lent to shake movable articles. On thu 2Utb of October, 1727, a shock, which was ot two minutes' duration, took place, and was frit all along the coast. February 0, 1733, another shock took place, and November 18, 1755, the earthquake ex? tended from New England to thu West Indies, damaging towns throughout the whole extent or the coast. On the 12th or March, 1701, there was a violent shock In this and adjoining States at 2:80 o'clock la the morning, and others or note are re? corded. -Circus men and jugglers are famous for torturing the Greek ana all other languages Into queer phrases for their professional use, and nave put forth some memorable word coinages.

TELE AMERICAN GIRL OE THE fi PERIOD. d T Viewed from an English'Stand-Point. A certain London pape ls credited with a ? particular and intimate kiowledge of Amcri- j a can affairs and American people, and this is what one of its writers ha to say about the American young lady : This ls the country where .omen first agitated for their rights, although wat rights an Ameri? can young lady does not aired y possess I am at a loss to conceive. When she .tarries she commits a sort of social suicide, but bare that "happy dis? patch" she has every thing petty much her own way. Her father pays for ter Parisian toilets without repining; her mothels her humble ser? vant. Prom the age of ten t the day of her mar? riage, she Indulges in one loir, flirtation, although the object of it frequent ly cinges. She neither reads, nor works, nor walksher whole existence ls passed In flirting, dresslni driving and danc? ing. Uer life at a watcrtn place ls, I should imagine, sorncwltat a inonomous one, although she seems thoroughly to enjf lt.
