The drought last year in the cen? tral and sonthern provinces, and consequent partial failure of crops, caused great destitu? tion and misery all winter. At the same time taxes were increased on the pe o pl e.ot ??ri s tan, which.brought on famine, and numbers of j people left their homes, and the government ' . lost its usual taxes. The new Governor promised to raise not only the'usual sum, but mose, and this oppression drove all the coun? try people from their homes to the cities which pay no taxes. The failure of'crops in Laristan was -rendered more disastrous be? cause other provinces, which raise mostly opium, cotton and silk, depended .on lt for their grain. The results in Ispahan, Yezil, Kliman and ' Shiraz were ter? rible. By the end of the winter and before tho new crop the cities were crowded. Wheat at Kirman rose nine times Its usual price and starvation began. Pezo raises opium. The people could Buy no grain, and ate crass and roots. In Ehorassan the people sold their I oilldren to the Turcomans to save their lives, j ana in other provinces the people ate their ? children, having eaten aU their domestic ani? mals ana vermin. In Ispahan men were caught digging up corpses to feed their starving fami? lies, and pestilence in consequence committed [ a fearful ravages. One-half ol Persia is depop- I \ ulated.

Assassination of a Worthy Citizen. , A correspondent from Chappell's Depot writes as follows, under date of the 31st ult: The usual quiet and peace ot our community was outraged on Saturday night, 29ih instant, by one of the most helnofis und cold-blooded murders on record. The victim was a Mr. Foster, (white) one of the most quiet, peace? ful citizens of our county. He lived with his father-in-law. Mr. J. Watts, about three miles from this place. On the fatal evening, be was called out In the kitchen, which they also used for dining purposes, to supper. After supper, he took his seat in a chair in the doorway, leaning, back against the door.laclng. Shortly ofter, while conversing with his mother-in-law, who was in the kitchen, he was fired on by some un? known party with buckshot-one and the fatal shot passing through the neck, cutting both arteries, another taking effect in the head but not penetrating the skull. Eight of the ballB entered th9 door facing, others pass? ing on into the house. He only lived a mo? ment, having time to get up and walk around in the room near his wile, and saying to her : "Don't grieve for me; take care of my child." There ls no clue as yet to this cold-blooded murder. He was a young man, about twenty six years of age, leaving a young wife and an Infant to mourn his loss. The community can illy spare a man.ol his character. ^ AN INCENDIARY FIRS on Monday destroyed ?nearly 2200 cords of wood, belonging to Mr. Joseph Crews; near Littleton, on the Green? ville and Columbia Railroad. As a trestle on the road was Injured, and the fire was com? municated at several' different points, there ls no doubt that lt waa the work of an* incendia? ry, Trains were not delayed. ^?>" AWFUL EARTHQUAKE. A Whole Village Engulfed and . in its Pince appears the Crater of a Volcano -The Woods Ignited-An Entire Isl? and Deserted. A London dispatch of Thursday evening gives some particulars, of the recent earth? quake in the Philippine Islands, which affected in a terrible manner the small Island of Caml guln, five miles from Mlsamis. For some months, especially in March last, there was a succession of violent shocks, which opened extensive crevices In tbe earth. Fi? nally, on May 1, the level plain near the village ot Catarmln began gradually to subside, until the tops of the houses became level with the surface of the earth. This remarkable phe? nomenon attratcted a laree'number o'f people, when, suddenly some terrific shocks were felt, and before the thundering reverberations bad died away, the whole level plain bad fell In, engulfing one hundred, and fifty persons. The Slain became the crater of a volcano, fifteen undred feet wide, and from it smoke, ashes and stones were thrown Into the air. A pause till dark succeeded, when there was another explosion, and a rain of fire followed. The woods became ignited, and men and cattle went flying before the. flames. The spectacle was a frightful one In the extreme. The vol .cano continues to eject stones and earth. The Inhabitants have lett the Island, which former? ly contained a population of 26,000. Caml fuln produced one-tenth of all the Manila emp grown. THE RICE QUESTION. The following remarks on the rice market are copied from the New York Bulletin. East India rice has been sold in small quantities in this market, but it takes nobody's fancy like tbe rieb, pearly grain of tba Carolinas, and will only find purchasers when the latter ls at extravagant rates. Tbe const mption of Caro? lina is constantly increasing, and the ship? ments to the great Northwest during this sea? son, by. rall, has been unusually large, and our own people are so partial to lt that about one-fifth of the receipts.at Charleston, during the present season, will be consumed at borne. With a small reduction in the price, this admirable article of food would soon make a home demand, and double the present growth would find a market, but. lt must be good Carolina qualities and not musty East India. The present crop will mike its appearance In very small quan? tity about the 1st of September, which is about the same as usual,' and the increase !u the ;rop will be very limited, and then only if fine weather should prevail. The Bulletin writer jays:' In the early part of the present season a arge, quantity ot "weevily" rice was sent from Savannah and - Charleston and thrown upon :he New York market. It wnj uuposed ol at i very low figure, and in the meantime the lner grades were kept back lu anticipation of | in advance In prices. In this speculation the {rowers were disappointed. The fine goods were In (food demand, and fair prices were obtained for suca? as had %een sent forward, the'stock being held back, something must satisfy the demand, and loreign rice took the nari et Jhe great bulk of the rice produced ls con? sumed in the agricultural districts by the farm aborers, both because lt ls a cheap diet, and >ecause lt ls cooling and nourishing. There >elng but little warm weather tbis summer, he consumption fell oil, and in consequence he demand was lighter.. Owing to tbe large Deportations, foreign stock accumulated on be market, and the demand being much below he supply, prices declined. The high prices if domestic rice at Charleston and. Savanuah lontlnued, and several dealers having large tocks of foreign rice on hand, conceived the dea of underselling tbe Southern markets.' With, this intention, sev .ral Invoices, amount ng in all to about looo bags, were sent South, md actually sold la Charleston at one cent >er pou?d lower than the South Carolina rice. The ei>ct of this transaction was to bring out he-Btock wblch had been held back and to equalize the prices. Patna rice, which ls the iholcest gr Ade of the foreign article, bas been mported this year lar in excess of the de nand, and the price has fallen oil, but the >oor grades still bring as high a price as the brst qualities ot Rangoon. During the war md the few years following, when the Caroli: ia rice was scarce, the Pruna took Its place, ind tor some time sold io . the same .price. Sut now, however, owing to tbe large impor atlons, the price bas declined. The present growing stock In -the Carolinas B expected to arrive very early, the latest ad? rices say about tbe fln>t of September. This fa rery unusual, and if the first should arrive ibout the middle of tbe month lt would bu far n advance of the usual tim?. The crop ls es iinated to be at least one-third Urger than hat of this year. DEATH OF HOS. JOHN SLIDELL. A brief cable ftlf~uatch from London an ?ouoces the de~th ta Hon. John S.idell, at the ige of seventy-fciitl.t. /ears. It has been just bree months sine ti>e death of Hon. James il. Mason, with wn.ist- name that of Mr. Sll lell will always be associated. Mr. Slid ell was a native of New York, but removed to ?few Orleans In early life; he there identified limself with the South, and attained great dls inctionatthe bar. He was appointed United states district attorney for Louisiana under | President Jackson; was frequently elected ,o the Legislature, and was a represen? te li Congress from 1843 to 1845. He. vas tuen sent by President Polk as ministerio Mexico to negotiate the settlement ot questions ben in dispute, but his mission proving lruit ess. he returned early in D346. In 1853 ne was :hosen United States senator, which position ie held up to the breaking out of the late war. Da retiring from that body, he predicted in a memorable speech the rain of American com nerce incase war was forced upon the South. In the lall of 1861 he was dispatched by the Confederate Government as commissioner to France, together with Mr. Mason, who was ap jolnted In the same capacity to England, sailing from Charleston, they ran tbe block? ade, and embarked at Havana on the English steamer Trent. This vessel waa boarded at lea by Captain Wilkes, ol the United States steamer San Jacinto, who arrested both com? missioners and their secretaries, and the}?] vere placed in confinement at Fort Warren, 3oston harbor. On the demand of the British Government, however, they were soon after ?eleased and permitted to depart for Europe, ?lnce the close of tho war, Mr. Slidell has re? dded principally abroad. GREAT FIRE IN GUADALOUPE. BOSTON, August 1. The mall steamer Delta, irom Bermuda, jrings Intelligence of a fire at Polnt-ar-Pitre, Guadaloupe, lu which nearly the whole town was burned. Thirty thousand people were ?lt without shelter, and the sugar ready lor , shipping was destroyed. The town was re jullt entirely ol wood, alter destruction by an earthquake, in 1843. The fire was supposed to be the act of an incendiary. THE GERMANS AND ITALY. NEW YORK, August L The society of Turners of this city, about 2000 strong, sent a request last night to the committee of tbe Italian Union, stating their wish to Join the Italian National procession on ;he 25th Instant. The request win be care lully considered next Monday night. STARVING STEERAGE PASSENGERS.-A curl 3U8 defence was offered in New York by a Ger? man sea captain charged in tbe United States Sourt with starving two of his steerage pas? sengers. The laws of Germany require that Dnly half the amount of iood demanded by the United States laws be furnished each passen srer, and this was advanced in extenuation of the crime. The New York Tribune remarks, however, that "it ought to be understood that offenders against United States laws are tb be tried under them, and not those ot Germany; and that no laws of any country justiiy tbe violation of those ol humanity," THE NEW TORE EXPLOSION. FULL PARTICULARS OF THE AWFUL) CATASTROPHE. Thc Scene- on the Ill-rated Steamer. . The mails bring us the following detailed ac? count of the fearful boiler explosion in New fork on Sunday: NEW YORK, July 30. As the Staten Island ferry-boat Westfield was starring from her dock, at the foot of Whitehall street, next to the Battery, at 1.30 this afternoon, with a neaw load, composed mainly of the usual class of Sunday excursion? ists, to the number ol about 300, the boiler burst with a tremendous explosion, shivering the entire upper works ot the boat' into a thousand pieces, and laying open the whole forward part of the hull from the very keel. The spectacle on the Ill-fated vessel subse? quent to the explosion is beyond description. A great yawning abyss stretched from abaft the engine-room close to the stern, and the deck seemed to have opened like a sepulchre to swallow its load of precious human freight in .the dark hold beneath. The dead and dying were lying about in every direction among the debris of broken timbers, splinters and . heavy machinery. From amidships to the cutwater, the boat presents a vast hold -filled with fragments of spars, beams and bulwarks and fragments of Iron. How many bodies still lay beneath the ruins in that fearful hold lt is impossible as yet to tell. They are bringing them out every hour. Many persons, as in the case of Profes? sor March Ceneviere, of Brooklyn, were blown bodily into the air, falling into the water. Some have been hauled but by boatmen with hooks, and otherwise, and a large party are now engaged in dragging the bottom, and are constantly finding bodies. Men; women and children, still alive, are brought in scorched and bruised and mutilated to such a degree that lt seemed almost impossible that life could remain. Among the dead lay the body ot a manswlth the back of his head absolutely blown off. It. is said by some to be the fireman. One man, John. Major, the pilot, 'was thrown from the forward pilot house twenty feet in the air, lolling on the boat and escaping without a scratch. John Freeland was captain ol the boat. and Harry Robinson engineer. The boilers ' were inspected by John K. Mathews, United States boiler Inspector, on the 15th of Jane,' and pronounced safe. Hen-1 ry Robinson, engineer of the Westfield, stated that he tried the cocks in the boiler a few mo me nts before the explosion and found water at the upper cock. He elates further that at that time he looked .at the steam gauge and noticed that lhere were twenty-seven pounds of steam on her boilers, also that steam was blowing off at the safety valve, showing the boiler was carrying the lull extent allowed by the certificate. He further states that the boiler was repaired last winter. The cause of the explosion was probably the breaking ot the Joints of- the plate with which the boiler had been patched on the rear end. It ls im? possible as yet to give the names or number of the dead. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. The following is a later account of the ferry boat disaster: The first bell had Just rung when the explosion was heard. The scene ot confusion and horror which resulted baffles lescripilon. The boiler burst, carrying away .he whole part of the boat In front of the .teampipe.. and scattering the debris on ai? J ?ides. Ken, women aud children, horses, wagons, boards and chairs, were hurled n tue air. Nothing escaped that was on the forward part of the boat. The passengers in the rear rushed for the miranee en masse, but very lew escaped without some injuries. The scene was fright ul, and many fainted from fear. Bodies, dc )ris. and portions of the wreck fell among the passengers and Increased the contusion, nany people fell In the river, and being una. >le to help themselves, were drowned. Boll-1 ng water was scattered la all directions, icaldiug those who were unable to get out ol ts reach. The wind was blowing Inward at he time, and forced the water ou the part of | ?a hollar nour Um doole,-wi???. er~" jortlon of the passengers had fled to The Injured persons were taken to the Park Hospital, to the first district station-house and io Bellevue. A great number were taken to he hospital in the Park, which was soon filled, ind they were forced to send the remainder to bellevue. The screams of the wounded were leartrending, and the hospital was a terrible icene to behold. The wounded were lying j .very where, some in beds, some on blankets, iud others were walking around, groaning, noaning and crying. STATEMENT OF A FIREMAN. One of the two firemen on board the Wes t leld, named Robert Crawson, was in the fire oom at the time of the explosion. He says hat fifteen minutes before the accident he was >n the bead cylinder wiping' lt off. Then be vent into one of the cabins for* a drink ol vater, and thence into the fire-room. Willie tere he heard a hlasing noise proceeding lrom he rear boiler, and went ? to see the cause. Ie bad gone but half the length of- the Killer when he found the steam so dense hat he could not proceed any further, and .urned to come back, when he was ?truck lu the face by-the flying splinters md knocked down. He made his way to the leek as fast as possible. This hissing noise, ivhlch Crawson heard, must have been the itartl ug of the plate patching of the boiler and I p he first premonition of thc impending disas-1 y :er. An examination of the boiler, ' U3 it now ays in the bottom of the boat, reveals the tact .hat the explosion occurred at the rear, and mat a piece about lour leet long and two feet ?vide were torn out of the Jacket and thrown a uind red feet on to the dock at the barge of - ice. Another and larger portion of the boiler ?vas thrown direcJy forwa-d into the bow of j he boat. The Investigation. NEW TORE, August 1. The United States Commissioners, Belknap iud Lowe, have been busily engaged all day a making arrangements for a thorough in? vestigation into the cause which led to the ex? plosion on the Wesldeld. They are deter? mined to make a lull and searching Inquiry, ind elicit suoh facts dr will disclose where the negligence or culpability existed. For this jurpose numerous wit. '--ses have been sum? moned to testily in the case, and the proba? bility ia the investigation will commence to? morrow before the commissioners. THAT KU-KLUX ISTFESTIOATIOIf. / _ v Costly Job-Unfair Statements-Dfnr \ tial Law Probable for South Caro? lina. The Washington correspondent of the Balti? more Sun writes : The Ku-Klux investigation ordered in Con? gress in April is at last reaching its end. The "u sub-committee sent into South Carolina re- t| turned yesterday, and the lull committee are ? about to adjourn till fall. Nearly two thousand n pages ol printed evidence have been taken, n and the expenses ot the investigation even Q thus far will reach fully fifty thousand dollars. " Ihe sub-committee, in violation of the rules <j adopted lor its government, seemed so very a anxious to make' out a good case that when c, they arrived here they were very prompt rj Lo furnish a one-sided and partisan ac? count of the investigation for the press, presenting a scene of bloodshed and out? lawry in that section far in excess of even the sensational and exaggerated accounts heretofore given. Most ot the evidence of outrages comes from colored persons, while on the part of the white- witnesses there is a very.general denial of the existence ef any armed Ku-Klux organization It ls not pre? tended that there have been no troubles. The oppressive taxation which amounts almost lo practical confiscation, the appointment of tax collectors who cannot read and write to collect taxes ot the disfranchised class, the general corruption of the State administration, and finally the wholesale pardons by the Governor of convicted felons, have all contributed to demoralize the proper enforcement of the civil power for the maintenance of law and order. It is quite probable, however, from the Intimations which have been given, that tbe evidence taken by a majority of the com? mittee will be made the basis of on appeal to the President for the declaration ol martial law in three or four counties in South Caroli? na, and the enforcement ot the feature ol the Ku-Klux which authorizes a suspension of the writ ot habeas corpus.

A Baltimore letter says : The great Wharton poisoning case bas had s day of sensation and horror. People do not ilk much about lt any more, but are patiently walting some other topic lor gossip. The wo .en are all in favor of hanging Mrs. Wharton; ie men, while generally believing in her guilt, .e willing to await the developments of the lal. Meanwhile, the public mind ls being care iliy prepared for the plea ol Insanity, the tost peculiar phase of which hinges upon ie Intimate connection existing between illepsy and homicidal mania. It this ihe ry be correct, I, for one, will lake especial lins to avoid any friends subject to epilepsy, id uever, uuder any pretence, take milk undies or frosted pies at their houses. In rs.

The poison sed was a terrible instrument of destruction, be least blt of tartar emetic applied to the sternal skin, as an ointment, makes feartul >res.

[From the Marysville (Cal,) Appeal, Joly 12.] Yesterday morning, Just when the .drowsy god holds us tho closest, we were startled from our innocent dreams'by a heavy knock? ing at our bedroom door. We thought o? burglars, murder, fire, everything in short ex? cept the cause of the alarm. Hastily putting oh our unmentionables, hind side first-which caused us to walk backwards-we opened the door, and beheld the earnest face of M. C. Ellis, one of the heaviest ranchers'of Butter County, now a resident of Marysville, and connected .with the Plaza Steam Flouring Mills, who, la answer to our Inquiry of "What ls the matter now ?" replied, "Dress yourself and go dut to the ranch, with me; we have something to do there this morning " Grumb? ling we obeyed orders-that ls a reporter's duty-and donning onr garments went down to the Marysville stables, where we supposed we .should find a team ready. .Disappointment ls apt to come o? too great expectations, especially when one expects too much of stable men. The hostler, who is a second cousin to Rip Yan Winkle, bad fallen-asleep after' being awakened, and before we could arouse , him and get a team ready a half hour had passed and u4 o'clock in - the morning" came Justas we rolled out o? the stable. "Drive with tight lines," said the ena? ble man. Did we do it ? Not much. Ellis rather pushed on them Instead of holding them tight. After taking a drink from a bot? tle found lu the buggy (a preacher drove it the day before) and lighting our cigars our com? panion condescended to Inform us what he j desired. Said be : "You know that once upon a time General Bidwell cut some grain, threshed lt, ground the wheat, baked bread from the flour and ate it for supper. Now, I propose to beat this, and beat lt badly.. It ls seven miles to my ranche, and I Intend to drive there, cut and thresh some grain, take lt to the Plaza Mills, grind lt, have my wife make biscuits from the flour, and "we will eat them with our breakfast before 9 o'clock this morning." After finishing this long speech, he gave another push on the lines and relapsed Into silence. In fifty minutes we were. at the ranch, but here another disappointment awaited us. The teams were not in the field, and another half hour went by before the machinery was ready to be .put In motion. Then Mr. Ellis mounted to the header and cut a header fud of "the golden grain." We. laid aside our coat and mounted the footboard of the thresh? ing machine, and when the grain arrived we fed lt through. From the grain thus cut and threshed our sack was taken, and as grain cannot be ground without soaking, lc was thoroughly wetted there in the field. We then started for the city, which we reached In forty minutes from the ranch. Arrived at the mill, another disappointment awaited us. The grain was too wet, and another half-hour was lost in drying lt. It was then put through the screens, from thence luto the hopper, and soon a sack ot flour was produced from the wheat, which stood in the fields but a lew hours before. From the mill to the residence of Mr. Ellis, when Mrs. Ellis took charge of lt, and In" half an hour we heard the welcome to breakfast. At 7.55 by the watch, which timed us all the way through, we sat down to a splendid breakfast, and before us was the bis? cuits made from the fleur we had worked so hard to obtain. This is' a true story-a plain statement of the quickest work ever done In the Slate. If any man can beat this he will have to eat hie biscuits for supper the day be? fore ihe. wheat is cut.

TWT^VRTROZV'.rrM TR.4 0F. Rapid Increase In Production and Con? sumption. iFrom the Pittsburg.Gazette, July 24.] The exports of petroleum in 1870 were thirty seven per cent, greater than those ot the pre vlous year, and nearly all this Increase, o thirty-seven percent., is accounted for by th? shipments from the port of New York. Thc total exports from the United States in 187( were 141,208.155 gallons, against 1.500,000 gal lons lu 1800, and 99,281,000 gallons in 1866 showing an increase of nearly 12,000,000 lr two years. The first sale noticed for expon was la May, 1661, when 10,000 gallons wen sent to foreign markets. Antwerp, which ha1 since led all other ports in the importation o petroleum, took in that year 5671 gallons, In creasing the amount In the following yeai more than . 800,000 gallons. Great Bri tait took 579,000 gallons in 18G1, and in 1862 in creased her importation to 3,238,000 gallons The continued growth ot this trade for ter years-from 1,500,000 gallons in 186016 141, 000.000 ia 1870-is a wonderful exhibit, no only on account of the rapid development o the oil Interest, but also because the yearly In crease has been steady. The dally .averagf product of the Pennsylvania oil district In De cern ber, 18C7, was 10,400 barrels ol'43 gal lom each; In the same month of 1870?lt was 15,21 ?farrels, a fact which shows the lnexhaustlblli y of the welts in that region. In regard to th< home consumption, it. ls estimated that it ii equal to one-half the quantity exported, mak lng, lu round numbers, au aggregate consump tiou of 211,000,000 gallons annually. Thii enormous amount, reckoning the price at ui average of twenty cents- per gallon, represent: a value,ot more' than $42,000,000 tor a sin gie year-certainly a remarkable return for i product unknown to commerce teu years ago ENOCH ARDEN IN MISSOURI. A -Second Husband Gives up his Wiri and Three Children. [From the St. Louis Dispatch.] The assertion that "truth ls stranger thai fiction" is certainly Illustrated in the foliowln: sketch, and we are Indebted to J. C. Byan, th clerk of the steamer St. Luke, for the princl pal items : i During the first year of the war, J. M. Wald rup left his pleasant home in Central Miss o ur and shouldered his musket to fight for wita he considered right, and to spill nts blood, i necessary, lu defence ot the Confederate cause. At home he leit a young wile and out child, and from that time lill last Sunday the: Uever even heard from him. Mr. Wald rup passed through the struggle safely and was paroled In St. Louis in 1865. Si soon as he could earn money enough hi started to find his wife and child. He vis ?ted his old home, and called on his neighbors But his search was unsuccessful. The only lu formation he received was that his wife hai taken the child and gone to live with some re Iatlves in Callaway County. Visiting Callawa County, he obtained work on a farm, and set tied down to ponder over the whereabouts o his wife and child, and to earn money enougl to continue the search. In the meantime Mn Waldrup had heard that her husband was dead and had gone to live with some relation nea Cedar City, opposite Jefferson City, Missouri Here she became acquainted with a well-to-d blacksmith, whose name we have not learned In due time they were married, and last weel were living in their comfortable home at Ceda City, and Mrs. Waldrup had blessed the black smith with three fine children, the eldest flv years old. Last Saturday Mr Waldrup rode leif urely into Cedar City, and halting at the black smith shop requested that worthy to shoe hi horse. While conversing on the heat of th weather, crops, <kc. the blacksmith learnei Waldrup's story, and having beard his wit tell about her lost husband, surmised tb truth, and in his blunt honesty invited Mr Waldrup to go over to the house with him The recognition was mutual, and the wlf tainted in her first husband's arms. After th first agitation Mr. Waldrup went back to Ih blacksmith shop, and the men talked the mal ter over sensibly and coolly, and agreed to al low the woman to decide as to which man sb would cling. After pondering tbe matter ove In her own mind the doubly-mated lady decid ed to go with her first husband, on conditio: that the second allow her to take the chi] dren. By some process of reasoning, ines pllcable to ns; he decided to (rive up wife and children, and Mr. and Mrs. Waldrup decided to come to St. Louis. Yesterday the St. Lake stopped at the landing, and Mr. W. came on board and engaged passage for him? self and three children, and the blacksmith assisted his wife on board, and then'brought on the children. Then came an effecting scene that brought tears to the eyes of cap? tain, e'er ks and passengers. The deserted husband took first one child and then the other in bis anns, and kissed them passionate? ly, while the tears rolled down bis cheeks. Then he bid good-bye to his wife, who seemed deeply affected, and . lastly to Mr. Waldrup. Tbe ?kn men gazed into each .other's faces, shook hands long and earnestly, and then the blacksmith, by a strong effort of will, released the hand of Mr. Waldrup and walked qulcklv ashore, never turning his face toward the boat. _ . ?
