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*

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

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.

passed a few days ago, and which
j- now in dispute letwrea that l>o<ly and

loo, who refuse aheolut* equality to negroes
in any public place?ears, hacks, theatres, |
all public places of amusement* As., hotels,
churches, we suppose; aUo schools, eertaiu

The Judges in Louisiana will he Ra<l!ea|

and South American amalgamation
wilt be alt en pted. We believe, however,
that Ood in hie mercy, will overthrow, in

aura instrumentality for this holy purpose.

Ojreat Democratic Meeting at Walballa
on tb* 16th.
From tU we hear, tb ia was truly a
ful and glorious demonitration of the gallant
Oconee Democracy. 3000 persona at least prelent,
tome estimate the number higher. Many
ladies graced the occasion, but the great mass
were the fearless white voters of the District,
There were, however, a large number of colored
voters, and there seemed one accord in
all elasses and eolors, In behalf of Ssymoor
and Blair ; there might have been a half doaen
Radicals among the crowd, so far as known.
The speaking commenced at the stand about
half after 13 M. R. Poacaaa, Ksq., President
of the Central Club, Chairman, introdnoed the
speakers, who were tfen. Hamptox, Col. E. C.
McClors, Robrrt McKay, Esq., Gov. B. F.
Pbrrv, and, at the close, a colored Democrat,
Valentine^ was also introduoed, who addressed
himself particularly to bis sable brethren
present. The crowd then dispersed to
partake of their dinner.
At night, there being still a considerable
| number of persons in town, Col. Duryr, Ro*
EHT ncn?T, ciq., UoJ. wad* Hampton, Jr.
were called out at Btanvxn'i Hotel, and addressed
tho crowd ; Valentine alio spoke in
[ conclusion. It is unnecessary to allude to th?
character of the speeches ; most of the speak*
rrs are well known, they were worthy of the
| occasion, and calculated to promote the invincible
cause of I>croocrncy. Our Townsman
Konttnv McKay, Krq., is distinguishing
liiinsolf as tt popular speaker, and added to his
ryputntion on this ocoasion. Want of space
forbids us to give further details. We learn
