On the 2oth of February last, there was a terrible earthquake or continuation of earth qualzes, by which the towns of Conception and Talcahuana, in the Province of Chili, were totally destroyed, together with several small villages. The loss of lives, as far as ascertained, is about 500, but it is supposed that the actual number is much greater.

oHIMRUG" :"

Never was word better applied than this word .'humbug' is to the Baltimore Conven- ton. Never was the business of sshumbug- ging' carried on more extensively than it was at the meeting of that body. It was gotten up for the purpose of preventing the freedom of the elective franchise, and of sad ding a President on the people, not of their own free choice--but one made to their hand, by the President and his back yard advisers thus making the Convention only the mouth-piece of their will. But the most fn- teresting part of this s'humbug" is the man. ner in which the vote was taken By a re- solztionof the Convention, each State repre- sented was allowed as many votes as she.is entitled to by her electoral college for Presi- dent and Vice President of the United States which made the State of Georgia, that had but three Delegates in the Convention, give eleven votes for the successor to the Presi- dential chair-and Tennessee, which had but one Delegate--a Mir. Edmund Rucber- give yifleen votes fer the successor. This was certainly very Hbcrat on the part of Mir. -Rucker, and no doubt he will receive the thanks of the freemen of Tennessee, for the handsome manner in which he has disposed of their votes, without giving them any trou- ble at all about the matter. But we give be, low an abstract of their proceedings, that our readers may see the manner in which the country has been ''humbugged" in the mat ter.
 The convention met on Monday the 20th May, and was organized by choosing Pre- sident, Vice Presidents and Secretaries, as follows:-
 ANDREW STEVENSON, President. James Fenner, of Rhode Island
 Edward Condict, of New Jersey v. Upton s. Heath, of Maryland p. elSo Robert Strange, of North Carolina iteslT is J. B. Neville, of Mississippi "o'i''' Franklin Cannon, of Missouri

The Gold Mines Of The South.-It is curious to
the importance that is attached, in the minds of
most people, to the fact, that the gold mines of the
Southern States produce two millions and half of
dollars per annum. 1t seems as if they thought
this portion of the wealth Of the country was pro-
duced without any cost, and that the amount was
clear gain TO the community, Just it would he if
the same amount of geld to drop from the
clouds. This supposi,ion, however, is altogether
erroneous. Gold canno, be produced without hu
man labor md it is very questionable whether the
production of gold is more profitable to the Southern
people at large, than the production Of cotton, or
rice, or tobacco, by the same number Of hands. II
no doubt happens that when rich vein is struck
upon, the profits 10 the owner may be very great,
but IN order to ascertain whether the country as
WHOLE is or rs not gamer by the discovery Of the
mines, we musttake into consideration the loss Of
labor in fruiless endeavors to find gold ore, and in
working barren mines, as well the sinking Of
capital incident to both enterprises 1t is thought
that IN Mexico more people have been ruined 5y
mining than by any other branch ofbusiness " hck
Is proof that the business does not YIELD upon an
average the ordinary profits Of agricultural indus
try. "A dollars worth Of gold does not enrich the
country one particle more than dollars worth of
cotton, and when people gaze and stare with Il cir
mouths vide open IN orazcment, At hearing it said
that the South produces tpo millions aud q holt of
dollars worth of gold willis, they exhibit no emo.
non on learning that he South produces h,rty
millions OF dollars worth Of cotton, it shews tina,
they consider a nation to be rich in proportion to
the money, and not to ne money, ,rorth, that she
