EARTHQUAKE IN LoUIsIANA.-Thc st. Mar
tinsvlle Creole states that son Saturday, the
7th inst, at about three O'clock p. NJ, all earth
quake, which lasted two or three seconds, was
felt in this Parish. A respectable inhabtant of
Cataloulou, who was angling at that time, in
company with some ladies', on the banks of the
lake, told US that as soon as the shock was felt,
they were all struck with kind of glddiness,
and that one of the ladies fell down in a svoon.-
He also assured US that the lake rose, during the
space oi some minutes, to more than six feet
Several inhabitants along the banks of Bayu
Teche affirm the unaccountable elevation of that
river at about the same time. We suppose this
extraordinary ascension of the waters was but
the result cf the commotion caused by the phe-
nomenon. Que OF our friends, who arrived from
Opelousas yesterday, told us that the shock was
also felt in that part of the country. From the
declaration of theol dest inhabitants ofthis parish
this would be the second earthquake felt in Alta
kapas."

"For the last twelve or thirteen years have re-

The Richmond Compiler says: "For
weeks past there has been in progress in
this city a religious revival, that has en-
braced nearly all the churches, and under
the influence Of which great numbers Of
persons have made profession ofrcligion.
This movement of the public mind, SO in
tcrcsting to the religious community, has
attracted hither many eminent ministers
of the gospel whose eloquence and zeal
Gus efforts have given increased Impetus
to the movement Of the day. So deeply
has it engaged the attention and feelings Of
the different congregations, that the sane
tuary has been, as it were, kept always
open. The sacred desk has been occupied
day aGter.day, and night after night; ana
lhe'pewss have been, with like regularity,
well filled with haltcnlive audiences. A re-

LATEST FROM TEXAS.

Our steam ship New York, Capt. Wright, ar
rived at this port last evening. i'll 81 hours from
Galveston. She brought us papers and letters
from Houston to the 10th instant, and from Gal
weston to the l7th. We give the principal news
which we find after careful review OF our flles
and correspondence.
The pcopleof Austin and Gen. Houston are
still at issue on the proTriety OF removing the
national archives from the present scat OF gov
ernment He contends that their removal is a
prudent measure: they assert that they are wll-
ling and able to protect them.
Ger. Houston aid the principal members Of
his cabinet are still in Galveston. The when or
how they propose to carry on the war against
Mexico is, to all but themsevs, secret; but al
though it is, firm reliance is placed by the great
bodyof the people on the prudence and patriot
ism OF the President.
A public dinner was given at Houston on the
5th inst, to Lieut.. Lubbock, of the Santa Fc
Expedition, who escaped from the Mexican prl-
son. Among the distinguished persons present
were his Excclency the President, Gems. Somer-
vile, Baker, Davis, Morchouse, Judge Terrell
and others.
The Houstonian Of tie 9Th inst, says a fatal
rencontre occurred at the race coursc at Harris
burg on Saturday, between Flourncy Hunt and
two Young men of the name of Black, which re-
suited in the immediate death Of the former by
4 pistol shot
The Secretary OF the Treasury has returned
to Galveston with the newly engraved EXchc-
quar notes.
The agricultural prospects Of the country arc
very promising.
Extensive arrangements arc being made for
large French, English and German emigration in
the fall.

reoard to the transaction of the last week which
can be fully and implicitly relied upon. We
have before us statement of facts, elected by
minute aud thorough investigation upon the
ground, derived from sources which forbid the
idea that there can be any mistake about them.
1t is true that the people were most solcmnly
and repeatedly assured that compromise had
been agreed upon securing to them substantially
every thing that they had contendcd for. But
we arc compelled 10 add, and VIC do it with sor-
row for weakness and depravity which caused
it, that these assurances were shamelully treach-
erous and false. They were made principally
bv burlington Anthony, who had been foremost
in the suffrage cause, who had accepted an Of
flee under the constitution, who had voluntary
opened his house to be tie home and lead quar-,
tiers of Gov. Dorr, but who in the hour oi lF!ai
betrayed both his guest and the peoF!c
The result is the complete ruin OF The suhra%c
cause.-the overthrow OF the coMsitutioll-'i'2

A ZIG SMOKE, GUT no F1EE.-The difficulty
between Mcssrs Wise and Stanly has been ami
cably and "honorably settled without the she'd
ding of blood. Mr.. Stanly, after cutting great
shines and leaving his scat in Congress fleeing
from the District to avoid, as his friend; said,
being arrested before he could challenge NJ.
Wise, and finding perhaps, after. practising
that he could not shoot as true as he2ought, con-
cluded it best 10 get rid Of lis Gaming in some
other way than fighting. Therefore, through his
friend, he stated lha: he threw tic mud en- NJ.
