An EARTHoUAgE.-On Sunday evening a
fnmallnS noise as oil heavy carriage, lasiing
about kail minute, was heard q nearly The same
time (ahou quarter PAST six ucIock) over a
large district Of county Including this city. the
west end oil Long Island and Wesiches:er coun-
ty, and perhaps farther.
gentleman from Norwich, Con, says the
shock was quite severe in that village, '';hc noise
was like the rolling ola cannon ball over ciam.
Der iloor. The whole arlh seemed 10 shake SO
violently that gentleman standing near his
house was nearly thrown OF his feet Whole
lamiies ran into the street in consernation.-
The people in The church (ior evening seryice)
supposed The bell had fallen from The s,ceple.-
The steamboat lying at the wharf was moyed,
and The motion sensib!y felt by the hands on
board"
Al the honr mentioned, (quarier PAS six,) one
oil The editors Of this paper was al quiet resi-
dence in The outskirts Of New Haven, but no
unusual noise or motion was perceived ny him
sell, or othe! members Of The family. The edi-
tor OF III" Evening Post was at q place called
Roslyn, Long Island, and thus describes the phe-
nomenUn:
"The building began suddenly 10 shake with
great violence, so that the windows raIed and
iba! somebody was enGeavoring 10 move hea-
by one Of our companions that violent wind
had sprung up; but as Tie shaking OF The house
was soon followed by deep hollow sound like
The rolling OF thunder under The Garth, i, became
cviient that The phenomena were The effects oil an
earthquake. The trembling and sound must have
lasted about Two minutes The movement of The
sound was very deliberate one, and seemed TO
us 10 BE- in direction from South 10 North, or
perhaps little 10 The East Of North. We alrl-
wards learned that The shock had been felt in al
parts OF the village, ard the persons who spoke Of
The noise, compared it 10 the rushing OF heavy
chariols alcns hard stony street. Some OF
those who were cut oil doors pretended 10 say that
The shock was accompanied by bIiet electrical
e1clla,;on Of the air, bot IL these Appearances We
could get no confirmation from others.
Coming along the line OF The railroad this
morning, VIC ascertained that the shock was dis
tinctly experienced in several of the towns on
Long Island AT Oyster Bay, friend informed
Us, The agitation was pcrceptible, that the peo
PIE in his house ran out into The yard under an
apprehension That the building was falling down,
and The women ard servants uttered shleks Of
alarm. Al Glencove, Hampstead Branch, Hemp
stead, Jamaica, &C., similar impressions were
produced.
SIN Brooklyn tie noise was also heard, though
most persons supposed il 10 be the railing OF
carts or heavy laden wagons passing through tie
Streets"
Judging from these accounts, tits must have
heen The most violent earthquake iell in this IL
emily Tor a great number Of years. We fear we
sha III hear disastrous intelligence from the West
Indies or South America, or both.

AUTUMNAL LEAVES-No.3.

IIlp didMi Sm,H ,aQ,ry i'ceGicaias'
Ieproach has been frequently cast upon Tic
n.snury 81 Captain Smith, on aceoun, OF his
mol having married Pocahonias. II was grown
in.o sor, Of slereo,ypcd fashion, with some who
indulge a romantic sentimenaism, and wfo,
perhaps, have never taken lie troubled examine
the historical facts oil the case 10 remark Zap
tain Smith was a vciv great man--but what
shame ,ha, he dit not marry Pocahon; !
now propose 10 engage in he pleasing task
OF cpicayoring 10 vindicae The fame OF the Ia
Their OF The Virginia Colony from this aspersion
The rescue Of Smith By Pocahonas took place
in the winter OF 1907. She was then only IL or
l3 wears Of age--tSth's Hist Of Va. p. Soy
He was %, as appears from an inscription on
his likeness .retixed 10 his History Of Virginia.
He left Virginia early in The year 1909, when She
was about fourteen; but had she been older, and
had he desired 10 marry her, and had she given
her consent, i; is not easy ID see how he could
have effected il, unless BY kidnapping her, as was
done hv the INSCRIPTIONS Argal, some years al
terwards-a measure which, ifil had been adopt
ed in 1909, when The Colony was feeble in num-
bers an parayzed By anarchy, would probably
have excited the vengeance OF Powhaan, and
involved The Colony in ruin. In lbl2, AT@ali
hy chance. found Pocahonlas on The banks OF ,he
Potomac From Tic time Of Smiths departure
III then she had never been >rrn !, jamestown,
bul had lived a. She thought, 'ncoendo (s'iilh,
p. l37) on The Potomac. Betrayed INTO Argalls
hands she was carried captive 10 jamestown
In the Spring Of 1913. il is stated, that, "lone
before Ibis, Mr.. John Rolfe, a worthy young GEN
tlcman. and Of good behavior, had been in love
Now, "Icng before" he Spring q iniai,' n.y.!
have bccn at leas' as far hack as he carly Part q
1912 wien ste was captured. Had She remain
ell a year OF two at jamestown Hill, 'iancy-ifee,
The romantic senimenlais, might have had some
plausible ground Of complaint, that Smith did
not come over The Atlantic and propose" The
match, bowcvcr, appears 10 have been speedily
made up, and III marriage took place in April,
1913 il is true, that PocahonIas, as She alter
wa rds declared 10 Smith in England had been
always told ,ha, he was dead, and she never
knew Otherwise Ill, she reached Plymouth. But
Smith had no land in practising This DECEPTION
Again-In England she called him "iaiher,"
an appellaiion which she would hardly have
used towards him, il she had meant TO upbraid
him for not having married her. Her language
was, IL tell you, then, will call you father, and
you shall call me child, and SO will &c forever
81 Your kindred ard country" :5'ilh li3 So
much as 10 Smiths moi marrying Pocahonias.
