WASHINGTON, lIAY 81.
The Senate, to-day, did notSproceed to busl-
ress until sU;nc tiiiic after the usual hour. In
telligence having hae2 received that the resgna-
ton OF AIr. Southard was to becommumcated,
both parties were busy in caucassiils Tor his sue

The Senate was ultimately called to order by
iEe.t Secretary, w!lo read allet!er IRON 5slf;

Mr.. Linn novel vote of thanks to Mr..
Soutnard for the able and impartial manner in
which he had filled the Chair, accompanied with
ON expression oil the regretsof the Senate at tie
cause of his resignation
The apport!oanIent bill was again taken up
and Mr.. Allen moved 10 strike out the amend
ment of the Judiciary Committee, which dIsa-
grees to the district system, and leaves 1t option
al with the S;ates to elect their representatives
AS they may please, but provides that, III case
they EJECT by districts, these districts shall be
contieuc Us 10 each and that each district shall
electone member only, SC.
The effect of the proviso of the Senate is to
require those States which have double and quad
rup!e districts, like New York and Pennsylva-
MIA, to divide them into single districts. Thus
the city of New York forms one. district and
elects four members. The provisow would require
four single districts. The New York and Penn
sylvania members were vehemently opposed to
the amendment, and said that it was impractical
bleand would not be obseryed. But il obeyed,
1.-THE consequence of the law would be that these
States would be driven to instruct their repre-
seHtatives 10 20 for a general ticket systenl.-
Tic consequence of this would be that New
York and Pennsylvania, with few additional
States, could combine to control The govern
ment.
The debate was continued till late hour, by
AIr. Allen, Mr.. Huntington, and MIR. Wright.
The Louse agreed TO meet, hereafter, at III

TEN THOUSAND LIVES LOST.
TREMENDOUS EARTHQUAKE IN TIE ISLAND OF ST
DOMINGO.

TREMENDOUS EARTHQUAKE IN TIE ISLAND OF ST
/ DOMINGO.
! BY the politcrcss OF Capt Morris, of the brig
WIN. Nelson, from Port al Prince, we have "Lc
Patriotic" Of the 1lth May, published at thai
place, which gives an account OF a shocking
| earthquake that occurred in that island on the
/ 7th Nav, al ) o'clock in tie evening.
The principal destruction Of life, of which VIC
! have an account, was at Cape Ilaytlcn, which,
town WAS entirely destroyed. 1t contained
! about $4,000 inhabitants, two thirds OF whom are
! thought to be dead
The approach Of the earthquake was indicated
in For! an Prince by great heat, and heavy clouds
that covered tie neighboring hills, and loo oNcd
the direction OF the South West to the North
East.
The vessels At anchor, some of the sailors re-
, port, experienced the shock before they saw the
houses a%!tatcd which seemed to indicate that
the si.ocl: came from Tie west.
| There were Two shocks at Port AL Prince very
distinctly felt, the first rot so long as the second,
which last endured about three minutes Every
person srove to &C; out of the houses, and the
streets were filled with the a!ftig'lted population.
A little longer, says the Patriot, and Port au
Prince would have been the theatre OF disaster
similar to that of ITO, of which disastrous year
the remembrance was rushing into all minds.
The Patriot also SAYS that tbcrc is hardly a
house or wall that las not suffered a little
Some have become almost unn!iabIed. IAe
front OF tile Senate House, where the arms OF the
Republic are scu ptured, is detached anu broken.
rnc interior was uniniured.
On Saturday night succeeding and on Sunday
there were other shocks. Mass was interrupted,
and the persons present ran hitler ana liiIAer,
wale many women tainted.
On Monday morning at ~ o'clock, there was
another shock. The weather all the while was
changeable, now extreme heat, now rain, now
fair, and now signs ola stern.
On Tuesday again there was another shock'-
and since then, says the Patriot, SIT seems 10 Us
that we walk upon quaking earth.
SAINT MARC-A letter from this town says
that the earthquake was felt there with violence.
Many houses were seriously damaged, and some
destroycd-but TO loss of lie is mentioned.
At Gonaivcs the shocks were yet more serI-
Gus. The greater part OF the houses were over,
thrown. a fire broke out at the same time, ana
there was not drop of water in town. All the
houses that were HOT burnt suffered from lhe
earthquake. 1t was in the streets that the VIII
ter OF the lettergiving this account was ltuItii'S
it. The Church, The Prison, the PalaiS Natlonal'
the Treasury and tile Arsenal were all destroy
cd
This letter concludes at a. m by saying
alt is only hall an hour since that we lett a
very great commot,on. At present, we arc lg
no:ant OF lhe number Of persons killed or wound
ed Ailthe prisoners who are not burnGd IN inc
ruins are escaped. God grant that Fort au
Prince may not have experienced sucaa eisas'

cAfE HArr1ES.-The town of Cape Haytien

CAfE HAYT1EN.-The town of Cape Haytien
hasentrely disappeared, and with it two thirds
OF the population. The families that could es-
cape are fled to Forsette, where they were with
out an asylum, clothing or provisions.
The President of Hayti, has given orders to the
physicians and officers of the hospitals to leave
the city Immediately in order to give succor to
the distressed. Other aid of all kinds was about
to be despatched by water to the distressed.
LATER
In addition to the above disastrous intelligence
from the Cape, courier arrived from the city a
few hours previous to the departure OF Capt
Morris, who stated that fire broke out after the
earthquake, which, on Monday the 9th, destroy
ed tie powder magazine, and with it the misera-
bic remnant of the inhabitants who had escapet!
the earthquake. The towns of St Nicholas and
Port Paix are also said to be destroyed. Other
parts OF the island had not been heard from when
Capt. Morris left; but it is corjecturcd that al
the towns OF the north are amass of ruins.

CURED in this State, and cviucing strong sym
pa.hy for our partial defeat We receive with
much gratitude such expressions Of iriendly-re-
gard, and encouragements they hold out to. the
d.siranchsed people of Rhode Island to prese-
we're III the cause in which they have been en-
glged, until they put down therottcn borough az
| lsGocracy, and establish government by the peo-
| pic. In return for the good wishes, and noble
offers, made at large meetings in other States,
we can with confidence assure our distant
friends, that the resolution to free themselves
from bondage, was never more decided than at
the present time. This party is daily augment
Ing its numbers, and .is n condition OF COM
ple!e organization; and the proscrptive and ty-
ranical course pursued by the Algerine party
since the temporary advantage which they gain
ed By the promise OF Capt. Tyler's troops, and
their treacherous diplomacy, is constantly chang
ng the views of many neutrals, and not few
OF those who have been strong in their cause
a state of calm repose is now returned, and
the public mind measurably tranquil. The le-
sslaLure under the charter will assemble, by
adjournment, in few weeks, and previous to
to tie session of the Constitutional legislature
1t is said that when the former body shall have
assembled, tLey will at an early day in the ses-
sion. alter the election law, so as to extend sui
lragc as literally as is allowed in the peoples
constitution, and will authorIsc convention
to be holden to form constitution which shall
contain the same liberal provisions. We can
not say that we anticipate such lberality from
q body whose every act has heretofore been to
perpe:uate that omniro!cnt power, which
member once said they possessed, and deny
right to all who had not become member OF
their corporation by the ownership OF soil; but
such course is promised by some influential
men OF that party, and for the sake of peace, we
are disposed 20 wait patiently, and see the re-
denptlun or forfeiture OF this assurance.
This is the only course which that party can
pursue to restore permanent peace within our
borders; and a neglect or refusal to do that, will
show to the worlu, who are the real conserva-
tives of law and order, and who are so only by
profession.

MONEY IsLAND-There is romantic island
situated between Wrightsvlle and Mansonboro
sound, about eight miles from Wilmington,
which has borne the above name from time im-
memorial 1t derived It's name from this clrcum-

as he was called, had buried large amounts OF
money some where on the coast, and tradition,
Dointed to this place. Accordingly several per-
sons, some, from long distance, visited the spot,
in the hope OF finding the hidden treasure And
even at the present time, the earth Is turned and

to bring the slave before him at chambers, on
Monday, and she was brought there accordingly.
After partial hearing, the case was adjourned
over to Tuesday, (to-day,) and Mi. Morgan set

REou1srTGoN OF Gov. Door The Providence
Journal states that requistion has been made
by the King Governor of Rhode Island, on Gov.
Seward of New York, and Governor Davis of
Massachusetts, for the arrest and surrender Of
Gov Dorr, should he come into either of their
respective States; also on Gov Cleveland of
Connecticut, who, it is thought will decline
compliance.
If the party who elected Gov. Dorr suffer him
to be imprisoned, they deserve not only to be
deprived of the right of suffrage, but of every
other right dear to freemen.

COTTON BLooMs-We received on Saturday
last, stalk of Cotton, with the following note,
from COL w. j. Taylor,of this District, which
we fake great pleasuresn laying before our
readers, as well for the present as for an induce
ment to our farmers to follow the example of
COL Taylor, in the liberal application of ma

principal reason for the rapid growth Of his crop.

our Kershaw, Sumter or Lancaster farmers can

To the Editor of the Camdsas. .Ionrnal -,
Dear Sir: As you have through your Journal,
evinced an interest in agricultural matters. /
take the liberty of sending you plant of Okra
Cotton, on which are many forms and one bloom,
which was fully expanded yesterday. There is
also, if you will observe, another bloom IN for
wardness, which think, would have opened in
the course ofto.day, had not the plant been in
terrupted. 1t isS unusually early for cotton
demonstration by weeks, than I have ever
known in this section. This stalk measures two2s
feet Al inches.
The growth and early bloom of this plant may
be attributable in part, to the season, but mainly
to the kind of Cotton (Okra) and the warmth
impaired to the soil by the liberal application of
manure. have planted this year, IA acres of
the Bunch or Rives Cotton, and up to this time,
the Okra is ahead. If the insects spare my Cot
ton. you will hear more of the Okra and Ma
nure this summer, as expect by means of the
two, to have good picking, ginning and packing
early in August. r.
With respect, yours, &c.
