Earthquake IN Syria.-A scientific
letter, dated Beyrott, January 2, 1897,
says that the earthquake felt in that ci-
ty the previous day was accompanied
by rurnbling noise, lasted about ten
seconds, and appeared to proceed from
the north. No buildings were thrown
down in the town, but 7 or 8 with
out the walls, and one or two lives were
lost. In the neighborhood of Beyrout,
the course of the river Ontilias was
suspended. When the water return
ed, it was turbid, and of a reddish SAN
dy color. During the day ofthe EARTH
quake, the atmosphere was close, and
charged with electricity. -Four or five
minutes after the shock, the compass
was still agitated. At Damascus, four
minarets & several houses were thrown
down; and at Acre, part Of the walls
and some buildings. Saffet was entire
ly destroyed, and nearly all the popu-
lation, amounting to between 1900 &
5000, had periished.< The ground near
the city was rent into fearful chasms.
Tiberiad was almost entirely over

PETERSBURG, Va, May 25.

The convention of the Protestant E.
piscopal church for the diocess of Vir-
ginia, convened at this place on We'd
nesday, the 18th inst, and after having
disposed of the business before it, ad-
iourned sine die on Saturday last. The
utmost harmony and the happiest feel
ing prevailed throughout the delibera-
tons of the convention. The Right
Rev. Bishops Moore and Meade were
present on the occasion, but it was not
as full a meeting Of the clergy as was
expected. The convention sermon was
preached by the Rev. Edward Nc
CURE, in which the high responsibility
and duties ola pastor of the flock of
Christ was exhibited with great force
and clearness. On Sunday 4 persons
were admitted to the order of priests,
and one to the order of deacons; and on
Sunday night about 20 persons were
confirmed. The next convention will
be held at Winchester, Va. on the third
Wednesday in May next.

way many ofthe inhabitants. Thede-

lagos which had been totally destroyed,
and six partially; and Mr.. Moore says
it had been ascertained that the earth

miles in length by ninety in breadth.

Gently to Martin Van Buren,, informing
him that he must alter his course, and
disregard his pledge of following Il.
the footsteps Of the departed Chief,or
he will find himself, in very short
time, in small minority-that he must
abandon the Gold Humbug and Treas
ury Order, or that he the Hon., would
be forced into the opposition.
We know not what credit may be
attached to this rumoT; but of one thing
there can be no mistake--that the little

THE VIRGINIA LoAN.-The Rich
mond Enquirerstates that about $780,
600 have been taken of the Virginia
State loan. The sum advertised for
was 81, 100000, bearing an interest Of
six per cent, irredeemable for twenty
years. Of the sum taken, $7SO,00O
were paid in the form of scrip to the
James River and Kanawha Company.
The remainder was for payments to the
Louisa Rail Road Company, the Rich
mond and Petersburg Turnpike Com
pany, the construction of the North
western Road, &c.-The sales We're at
par, with the exception of a small por-
ton, on which a small premium was
obtained. The stock is certainly ex-
cellent. Its credit is as stable as the
Old Dominion herself-whose faith s
resources are undoubted. The Enqui-
rer says "there is every reason to be-
lieve, that the several Companies will
be able to turn their scrip to the best ac-
count. We understand, the Louisa
Rail Road Company will employ $780,
600 as remittance to Liverpool, to pay
for the iron which they have i'm
ported. Specie bears too high premi-
UNI to be shipped--and bills Of Ex-
change are at too high rate TO be pur-
chased. We understand, that the
James River Company have in con-
temptation to send their Scrip between
7 and $800,060) by special agent to
Holland, to raise available funds. We
cannot permit ourselves to doubt OF
their success-and we feel assured, that
the operations of Wednesday last will
provide them with ample funds

THE ExPERIMEN Mt NOT MY EXPERIMENT.!
The Richmond Enquirer, says the Balti-
more Chronicle, with great gravity, informs
the public that the Experiment, whose obse-
quies the country is now celebrating, was not
THE Experiment of Gen. jackson. Thatpro-
found statesman and enlightened financier, it
is true, gave to the defunet Experiment his
public appreciation, but in private he aiscours-
ed of another, the true philosophers stone,
which by creating large bank in each state
and binding them together with chain forg-
ed at the Treasury department Of the general
Government, was, by process known only
to that distinguished Alchymist, to turn all
the notes issued by the banks into gold! Why
the Ex-President kept this important discov-
cry to himself, or only informed his select
friends of its results, not Of the means by
which the results were accomplished, I'VE can
not conceive. The fact that he is in possess
ion of such a secret ought to induce ''his sue
cessor'' to send an express to him and beg him
to give it to the world. If he should die be-
fore he makes it known, the peculiar talent
for making such a discovery will die with him,
never to live again. tsWonderlul mafl'' as
Judah Dana says, chow the world wronged
you! The experiment, which had its begin
ming during your rule, lived under your
smiles and died when the robes of office fell
from you, was not YOUR experiment. Tho
it came into the world all armed for its work
of destruction, ii spfang not from your brain!
An Alohyihist of less skill but not less power,
owns the paternity. 1t belongs to power
behind the throne, which, for the time, was
greater than the THRONE itself Your Expert

Something NeO.-The great Globe
has taken a new motto; and what does
the reader suppose itiss "1he Supre-
macy of the Latvs & the CONSTITUTIONAL
Very good indeed: but why didn't the
Globe think Of this when President
Jackson repealed the law Of 1916, by a
Treasury Order, and trampled on the
constitution by wrestling the public
purse from the custody Of Congress-
1t becomes champion of the law and
constitution, it seems, only when the
government menials can make nothing
by their violation, and when they ope-
rate oppressively upon the people.
ooh liberty what abuses are not prac-
tised in thy name!" said Madame Ro-
land, as she fell under the axe Of Jaco-
bin prescription in France. And the
same apostrophe may be used in refer
ence to Fthe Laws and Constitution, "

A writer in the Richmond Enquirer sug-
gests that the Banks which forfeit their char
ters by suspension of specie payments
should be annihilated, and that we should have
but ONE Bank in the State. THAT ONE, we
presume, the writer would have to be the
BANK OF VIRGINIA, the Bank which was the
FIRST to suspend, although it did not thereby
forfeit its charter; because, happily for it, its
charter contained no such provision! This
would be great merit indeed, on which to
found such distinction !,-Staun. Spec.
