Orttit Enrihqualet.?The Nary Departmont has received official reports of the earthqaak* at Iaquols. Tha orew of the Fredina eonsiated of thirteen potty officers end fburteen bands, but none of American birtb. The earthquake incidents at Ioquols are that 000 were drowned by a tidal ware at Arequipa.

The river omits a salphurous odor j no one dare* go where the city was. People ere liriag In teats. At Paaoarphata, hundreds were crushed by the fallen bouses. At Areada, an American bark, with guano, was swallowed. At Taeiquin, l$0 Urea were loot, mostly children returning from aehool. The town of Sbigra was swept away?only twenty of 500 Inhabitants Xscaping. The nitre works at Iquique were do- , stroyed. Mr. BUlinghurst. the British Con- I sal, was killed. The American bark Candor was lost; crew sared. The loss at Iquique is $2,000,000. At the Chineha Islands, there was first a hnrricane, then an earthquake, then a tidal wave. Peroral English vessels were damaged. A Prussian bark was wrecked. Over 3,000 persons are without shelter or bread. The letters from Lima give minute details of the terrible effects cf the recent earthquake on the Pacific coast. One letter mentions that twenty valuable silver mines in the interior ol Peru were completely sunk, "the earth open- j Ing and huge water-spouts coming up." Bands of thieves, as is always the caae when calamities involving destruction of properly occur in communities, were roaming about the villages and oountry residences, searching the ruins, picking up everything valuable they could find, and even robbing the bodies of ths dead. A curious illustration of their greed and readiness to pocket valuable articles and gulp down everything edible and drinkable that falls in their way, is mentioned. A box of sartaparilla washed ashore Irotn some ship, and they drank every bottle of it, taking it to be a beverage for ordinary use. General Ktlpatrick U. S. Minister to Chili, had arrived at Lima, on bis way home, and brought reports of the effects of the earthquake, as far down as the Plate to which he was accredited. He slated that, on the South aide of the ruined city ot Arica, " as the earth opened and yawned, there came up 500 mummies, who stood in long lines, facing the aea." joi writer can* mem " mummtea," though he I afterward* call* them skeleton*. The narrator *ay* that each of the skeleton* waa entire, the hand* doubled up and supporting the chin, the knee* drawn up, and the feet supporting the fleshless frame. Tbia waa the manner of burial of the aborigine*. The place where thia unearthing of the skeletons occurred whs an j old cemetery, and tba skeletons are, doubtless, the remain* of the Incas and Indians. The writer well may say: "As the ground receded, | what a ghastly spectacle, amid the throea of an earthquake, was the coming up again of j these long-buried skeleton remains!" It was j a sort of mockery, by the dead, of the living, this sadden appearance of 500 skeletons in the midst of the calamity, glaring with their sightless orbs upon the seene* of horror and despair amongst the living! What a commentary upon man ! A Peruvian, who was in Arira during tho earthquake, has given tho New York papers many horrible details, lie says: "No one who did not witness it, can form any idea of its horror." Groans and outcries, tailing buildings and shivered timbers, the air so Ailed with dnst and ashes, so choked with the ftae dirt of the adobe buildings, and so strong an electric smell in the air, similar to the strongest brimstone, that the only way people ecu Id breathe or escape at all waa by each on* throwing him or herself flat on the ground, and burying the fare flat In the very earth, whieh groaned and opened around them.? Parents crying for their children ; mothers screaming to their husbands; and a blinding cloud of dust and brimstone, and the crash of tumbling houses, the roar of the terrible in* coming sea, and the shrieks of the wounded, dying In tho failing ruins. In Morqus, the ground opened, and as it closed again instantlv it e.n<rt.l it., iiur.t.^ i.??? V' B" ... rv"|.<<>> """"ll m??n partly projected from the earth. Here are to be seen hands protruding, feet and toes stick jng out above the eatth. The top of a head, and even the whole head and neck of some of the people, fingers and arms, with the bodies fo which they belong, shut into tho gaping fiarth! Tl>0 most horrible calamity befell the two cities of puflo and Orro D'Paaeo? the former containing forty thousand inliahi. tanls. These cities are built near and or^r the silver mines, and it seems that tlie very ground on which they stood was one hollow cavern. These caves opened at one wide phs*m, and swallowed up the cities and the ill-fated population ? one deep and awful opening. They literally fell down into this immense hollow. A number of horsemen rode into Lima and reported the eatastronil*, and as tho mines themselves are entirely destroyed, we shall probably hear of other towns being destroyed.

T 88 I S Tito Oattlo Dlatu* In tho Vorthwoat. Thia ?a?a> to ka moth aUnndaraiood in the North, and th? alarm baa extended to Bagland; they ara ilhtid to buy hay from the United States, on aocoant of the supposed danger of the terrible settle disease, that has destroyed nteny cattle frost Illinois to New , York, especially along the great traveling routes. To an up country farmer in South Carolina, or one of Western North Carolina, there would he ne difficulty of understanding toe matter, so far at least, as to assure the English that they are in no danger of importing the disease, unless they import live cattle from a warmer climate. The disease la ao'.hlag store than what Is known ae " the distemper," for want of a more delnite term, whkh. strange to say, is communicated by cattls brought la tbs spring or summer, from any considerable distance South to n more Northern range, the cattle coming np to a higher latitude or elevation do not tahe any disease, hat the native cattle that ran In the came range, or in the same pastures, are sure to ho taken with 44 the distemper." Droves of otitis from Texas last spring carried into IIHnoij and othar Northwestern plaoes, started the distemper wherever they have ranged this summer, hnt none of the Texas cattle have been sick. The Northwestern and English stock raisers need not be alarmed at the idea, that the disease will spread, or he permanent. It usually stops with the approach of frost, and is not apt to spreod much, or to prevail the next summer. Bnt they most keep away cattle from the South during the spring and summer; they could be safely introduced in the cold season of the year. If a isrmer from Illinois were to carry en*Us from his seetion in the spring or in miner down into Texas, or even as far as Tennesasa, or kss distance Sonto, be wonld find that they would die of distemper, but wonld net affect, perhaps, the native cattls at all. Why thess things are so, it is perhaps Impossible to explain. The Privilege of Voting now Universal in South Carolina. The Central Democratic Committee havinir called attention to tlio fact, that every body can rote in tbie State, of whatever his paat politiea or oourae may have been, (except those guilty of certain felonlea committed sine* th* war,) the newspapers have very properly, without exception, published the statement of the Committee. This matter honlu be kept before the people till all understand, that all those who were excluded by the Congress reconstruction laws, and by the still more arbitrary and despotic sway of Sicklies and Cawbv, can now vote at any future election in South Carolina. The SoulJkrr* Knlsrpritt was tho first to point out, and to demonstrate the position since taken by tbe Central Committee, in regard to this subject, but the matter did not then attract any attention from other newspapers in the State. * Eligibility."
