I take the liberty of addressing yon, asking for information of the wants and desires of tho peic,?le of South Carolina in the great question ol the day, so far as the South Is concerned, viz: Emigration. We have had Southern Com mercial Conventions, and they have all resolv ed tliut emigration must turn from its Westward course and seek the rich Heids of the South. But when are we to have the emigrant? I be lieve that the only menus of turning emigra tion Southward Is through individual gene rosity and Individual enterprise. A real es tate bouse lu Memphis lias just made arrange ments to forward laborers from this city lo Tennessee. Already thirty or forty families arc leaving dally for that country. They se cure them labor he lore tiny engage lite in here. Very Bbernl terms are offered them of course. The South Is regarded by these people as a frightful country lo live In, and as one thai offers no Inducements to the emi grant, oiler the German a bonus of land as an inducement, though, and ho will lace all Hie Imaginary evils he fancies must be coufronted in the South. It is true that our people nro poor, but they arc rich In land, and laud Is the greatest Inducement Huit can be offered the emigrant. Will our people give of llielr abundance, thereby increasing their wealth lour or live hundred per cent., at n modes! calculation? I have on my books over a mil lion acres of unsaleable- South Carolina land, varying In price from fifty cents to flvo dol lars pci ue.ro. Jf .cvury uiuu would glVO Ol" his thousand ceres one hundred, and of his hundred acres ten, tho wasli desert places would bo mndc to blossom, anil prosperity and plenty would once more reign in tho much loved land. Instead of tho prices of these lands varying from llHy cents to live dollars, and no purchasers, they would llntl ready sale at from live dollars to fifty dollars per acre. On these terms It win pay to be generous. Why turn attention to Chinese emigration when wo can have while men, and such a thrifty race of whiles as the Germans, among us? I propose to open at this ofllco a sub scription Hut of lands to bo given bonus to Germans or Irish who will go South to labor?planters lo name the amount of land they will donate to each laborer, and tho rate of wages hu pays, promising at the same time to employ tlioso who arc sent to him on his order at the oiiBtomary rale of pay?tho land to be entirely bonus aud given In fee the laborer to work for a certain number of months, at tho expiration of which ho must cither improve his land or continuo in the cm qlrujment of Uin nlantors. Tho land to bo good arable land or nuinipiyvct. 0f samo agricultural value, and not marsh or sw....... lands. Should these liberal terms bo offered, I have no doubt that I could scud thousands to our agent in Charleston. Tho only question Is, can the people of South Carolina see the great advantage of this liberal poBcy to tho stranger ? Will they donate lands to enrich themselves ? Rcsncctlully yours, I . J. M.

(Icnernl McMnlion, cx-Unlled States Minister to Paraguay, who arrived at Washington on Monday last, was with Lopez un to July last, when lie received his recall, and started Im mediately Tor the United States by way or I England. At the time of the evacuation of Asuncion General McMabon led the United Slates Legation In charge oi tbo Itullun Min ister, nnd ono of the first acts of tbo Brazilian troops was to sack the bouse occupied by tbo legation, destroy the flag and tako possession of somo two hundred thousand dollars In specie, which had been left there ou deposit. To accomplish that object the iron safes were blown open with gunpowder, and the archives of Iho legation wcro scattered la tho slroct, where u number of them wcro picked up by Mr. Wortlilngton, then United States Minister to the Argentine Confederation, who was on a visit to Asuncion. General McMahon speaks of Lopez lu terms en tirely djlfcrcnt from the accounts which have been published by Messrs. miss and Mnstermun. He represents him as a man of affable manners, but most determined in his acts, though inuuy stutcincHts of atrocities alleged to have been per petrated by Ida orders are wholly without foun dation in truth. That he ordered the executiou of Ills brother Is true, but that was upon convic tion after a protracted trial for conspiracy, and his mother and sister, who arc represented to have been killed by his order, arc still living, and Ids devotion to his mother Is all that could lie re quired of a sou. 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 laud lor the benefit of tho children of Lopez, but us soon pa he got possession he deacrted to the Brazilians. Shortly after that the commander at Angostura, named Thompson, wrolo to Lopez that he was prepared to staud a siege of at least a month, and received In reply Instructions to hold out for eight days, and after that time louse his own discretion. Before the expiration of the eight <tays, Stuart communicated with Thompson and Informed him that Lopez hud been dcfculcd, and was flying, with but a small remnant of his army left. Under the impression that Stuart had been taken prisoner, not suspecting thnt he was a deserter, Thompson yielded to Ills enlrcnty ami surrendered the post, which was the strongest on the River La Plata. The garrison consisted of about two thousand mon, more thau half of whom, shortly alter found their way buck to the camp of Lopez. ' Most of the victories or tho allies, which have represented such great slaughter of tho Para guayaus, arc said to have been Imaginary, ami one of the most important, for which the cities or Montevideo und Hlo du Janeiro were illuminated, never occurred at nil. General McMahon left Lopez at Ascttrn, nnd he WHS determine!! to fall back to the Cordilleras, where It would bo Impossible for the allies to fol low htm, us their lines or communication will be so long that they cannot get supplies. Tho re sources or the Paraguayans are said to bo unlim ited. While the greater part of the army arc sup plied with Hint lock muskets, they nre amply sup plied with 01 dnaticc and ammunition, all of which they manufacture. The Paraguayans arc reported to bo excellent soldiers, far superior to the Argentines, who arc much better than the Bra/.illuns, und the devo tion of Hie Paraguayans to their country and leader is without a parallel. Lopez Is not strong enough to make aggressive wur, but In defence he bus all the advantages, and can select his own ground of combat. Gcnernl McMahon has no doubl of the final success or Lopez, us the wnr costs htm comparatively little, while the nllles prosecute their aggressions at enormous cost. It is a part or the system or the allies to permit nothing to pass through their lines that will re flect unfavorably against their Cause, and they went so fur as to refuse to allow tiro' dispatches from the United States Government to General McMahon to pass Tor eight mouths.- When the order for Ids recall was sent on, thnt was permit- I tcdlo pass without any delay whatever. . I *-. . | TUE EARTHQUAKE DOWN EAST. ticxr England Greatly Agitated?Dura tion and Effects or the Shock?Prcvl. ... oui Earthquake*. The Boston Advertiser, of Saturday says: The shock of an earthquake was felt yesterday morning by all early risers In Hits oily and vicini ty, and by many per.,on . not "curly birds," who were awnkeucd by It. The motion was u vibra tion like the Jarring of a heavy team In ItH pro gress over a rough pavement, nud many people attributed It to that cause. It seems to have ex tended throughout this State, New Hampshire, ami a port ion ir not the wholo or Vermont nud Maine, to and including New Brunswick. When tho awful power or such convulsions Is considered, it will excite universal gratitude that no serious damage was done. Doors, Minds, windows, crockery-ware und loose household articles iff 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. It Is reported thai a genllcuiau living a little north of Harvard College was suddenly awakened out of u sound sleep, und at first thought the Watertown arsenal had blown up. Ills bed was quite violently moved, llrst horizontally four limes from north to south, and afterward up and down tho same number or motions. A female domestic In his rauilty, who had grcut fear or ghosts, ami who Tor the first time hud been persuaded to sleep In a loom in which an aged lady hud recently died, was so frightened at tho shock that she came wildly snsfmlsW old ?omau is under tho bed !? 1110 Vcu 1 tne Tho shake might have lasted ten seconds? hardly more. It Is to be hoped that somo scien tific notice was taken of It, that wo may bo ablo to learn tho direction of tho wave. Just at this time, when the Intelligence from South America is expected lu dally anxiety, on account of pre dictions that will not be laughed away, it would bo exceedingly Interesting to discover from what direction we received this shock, which may not unnaturally appear as tho spout force of somo terrible convulsion of our continent. The shock was quite severe In Ncwbnryport, shaking the doors and windows and many mov able things in the houses. Tho people generally woro awakened by tho commotion. An old brlok mansion house, built seventy years ago. having the thick, massive walla so common in thoso days, was shaken from tho roof to Die cellar, rat tling tho doors and windows, nnd creating gene ral alarm among Its occupants. In the Tutcrlor of this State the shock appears to have been lighter. in Now Hampshire the shock was felt at Con cord, Nashua, Lancaster, Manchester, Bristol, Lacoula and Littleton, and It Is reported to have Loon i,ulic severe ai Wells River, Vt. In Concord there were two distinct shocks, occurlug within fifteen seconds or each other, each lasting less than hair n minute. No dumngo was done, al though beds and other articles or furniture, nnd even the houses themselves, were considerably s h iiken i in Lancaster and Nashua the houses were sensibly shaken, and tho doors, windows and furniture wcro rattled with such violence as to arouse people from their sleep. Dispatches have been received from a dozen towns In Malno announcing tho occurrcnco of tho shock at the same hour?hair-past 6 o'clock. In Rockland thero was a scuslblo trembling of tho earth with tho usual accompaniments. In Au gusta tho shock Is said to have lasted more than a minute. Door bells were rung and nearly every body was awakened. Tho dispatch from Wiscaaset says the earthquake lasted three minutes; but it is hardly probable that this village alone should have been'so singularly distinguished, all tho other reports confining the duration of the shock to one minute or less. Tho earthquake was also felt at Portland, Watorvlllc, Gardiner, Bangor, Belfast, Lcwlstown and Kendall's Mills, but its effects wore limited to the slinking or buildings, the rattling of windows, and the like. The shock seems to havo extended no futtber East than St. John, New Brunswick, whoro It "shook tho clock In tho telegraph office.*' A dispatch received from Hartford says: "A shock of earthquake was distinctly felt In differ ent parts of this city about 6 o'clock this morn ing. It was also felt in Windsor and other parts or the State." On the 1st of .Tune, 1038, an earthquako took place in tho Now Bngland States snmclontly vio lent to shake movable articles. On tho 29th or Ootobor, 1727, a shock, which was or two minute*' duration, took place, and was reit all along the coast. February 0, 1TS0, another shock took piaoc, and November 18,1766, tho earthquake ex tended from New England to tho West ladles, damaging towns throughout tho whole extent of tho coast. On tho 12th of March, 1781, there was a violent shock In this and adjoining States at 2:30 o'clock la the morning, and others of note oro re corded. ?Circus mon and Jugglers' oro famous for torturing tho Crock ana all oilier languages Into queer phrases for tholr profosslonal use, and hare put forth some memorablo word coinages.
