HALIFAX, Oct. l2.

HALIFAX, Oct. II.
BY letter and Telegrnphic dispatches from
Picton, we are enabled to give the following
additional particulars relative to the fearful
storm in the Gulf of St. Lawrence and along the
coast of Prince Edwards Island The whole
shore is strewed with wrecks of vessels and
dead bodies of the crews. Charlottstown,
Prince Edwards Island. Coroners have gone to
the village of Cavendish to enquire into the
death of 12 persons whose bodies were washed
ashore at that place.
The body of a man with bag lashed to his
back, came ashore but was not recognized
There is good reason to believe that over 100
bodies had bean foated to the beach since the
storm. From three to four hundred sails sue
ceeded in getting safely into harbor. Vessels
arriving give dismal accounts of the storm,
which it is said has never been equaled

A MoUSTAiN n MoTioN.-We find in our
German papers an accounted singular catas-
trophe, which we translate for the Tribune -
Above the district Of Msgyarokarck, in the
south western portion of Trsnsy lvania. Their
are two mountains, Venyikes and GeIesxtas-
The District lies on slope Of the two noun
tans, which are from 800 to 1000 feet high, OPP
pos:te kettle shaped hollow. On the 18th of
August the Geleszas began to move, and forced
the Venyikes, which is about four miles from
Magyarokarek, so near IN that district that it il
now scarcely 20 paces distant, and threatens to
destroy the whole village The motion Of the
mountain continued from midnight on the 18th
to noon on the 10th of August, and during this
time it occasioned great damage through space
of about one third of mile in length and nearly
quarter of mile in breath The fields be-
meath ard around the mountain, which in this
place were covered with harvest of unc ommon
bc.uty, were precipitated into the depths, and
Insted Of them huge rocks now rise against the
sky. No one would know the place. No one
knows where was his own field--the two parts
of ploughed field, which were torn asunder,
often found at the distance of two miles from
each other, with bouornless abyss between
them. The population Of the place, numbering
about $50 souls, are cncanped with their little
property mountain y ing within the district,
aud expect the next calamity in state of great
depression. Beneath the torn up mountain, and
even on the very spot, water gushes up on
every side, and the ground in the vicinity is 80
cracked that no living creature can approach it.

CAMPHENE EXPLosION.-A most SHOCKING ac-
cidsnt occurred last Wednesday evening on
fifth, rear Smith street, to young lady named
Shanser, caused by the explosion of a cam
phene lamp. Fire was communicated to the
lamp while trimming, which caused the explo-
sion. Her face, neck and arms were burned in
a most severe manner. She lies in most crit
ical situation, and it is doubtful whether she
will recover. tits strange, families will use
substance 50 combustble, thereby endangerng
the lives Of its members, when accidents occur
so often.-Cin. Times, Goth uN.

EMIGRArIos.-The emigration into Iowa at
this point bids fair to be more numerous this
fall than during any previous season. Our fer
ry is engaged almost constantly in crossing en-
igrant wagons, and the number seems rather to
increase than diminish On last Saturday, not
less than % wagons, 100 persons, and $50
horses, besides other stock, crossed here. The
enigrants had good teams and vehicles, and
seem to be persons Of enterprise and means
We vet extend cordial invitation to those seek
ing homes in the west, to pitch their tents in

Our Position.

| South Carolina has nobIy taken her stand be-
meath the Banner of Southern Rights, and in vain
NAV the Cannon of the National IutelIigencer, or
the Pop-gun Southern Submission Prints fire into
her ranks-invincibe, Interchangeable, and SUCCESS
full is her bannered trio. But there is no position
so secure, but what some danger is possible
No Castle so strong, but what some assault might
carry. And it is well for us to keep watch at all
points, and revive the old Roman Law-of death
to the Sentinel who sleeps his post. The greatest
difficulty we will meet in our determined course
is, in our opinion, that of transition from talk
ing 10 acting. Wealthy men, OF quiet and ease,
will be of different opinions here. Some we tear,
(and we distinctly say that we make this state
ment without knowing a sing ge man to whom It
would apply will 80 against separate State
action now, because it might reorganze with
changes, the face ofsocety,and call them into prac-
tical liie-but we are aim )s sure that this number
would not in the State, form a respectable minority
of corporars guard. Again, the specializing capI-
talist might fear a disastrous termination 10
his business, and therefore he had rather wait
the Fable of the Villagers, who begged JUPITER
to give them the power Of raining, or preventing
it. lie did on condition that they must all agree
upon the time Tomorrow, one wanted 1t to rain,
but his neighbor wanted to make journey-so
there was no rain next day he had got home and
he wanted it to rain. but hi. neighbor had some
work to do, and again there was no raIn-and thus
they were nearly killed by drought. Now don't let
us wait for the especial convenience OF every one
when the time comes that our Rights and Justice
demand it, if at the sacrifice OF all We have, aye
at the sacrifice Of life itself, let not rcah. An
other danger will be the show of justice to the
South of the moderate North and the causes OF
the ultra party against those, all of which will have
for its aim, to cool down the South and postpone
action until sometime hence, until they can ettec-
tuay fasten some other enormity upon us. Be
leve not because Cotton is l3 cents. and negroes
$1,000, that you are in state OF prosperity. II
vou gain fortune and lose your honor. what will
it prosper you, but to lose both, is even worse.

Sufficient returns of the elections are receiv.
ed to induce pretty definitely the character OF
this Convention. The Charleston Mercury
thus classities them:
Whole number Of delegates l67
For secession lSi
Opposed to separate State action 40
The Mercury states that among the 40 op-
posed to secession by South Carolina alone,
there is not not one who can be called sub.
missionisf.
They all favor same mode of redress, and
the minority will not be behind the foremost OF
her sons in sustaining the action of their State,
whatever that may be when she speaks in her
sovereign capacity.
We cannot doubt that South Carolina will he
unit when it comes to action, and the loyalty
of her SONS to their State is authortatively ap-
pealed to. But we cherish the hope that she
will tary awhile longer in the Union, and share
with her sister Southern States aeommon des
tiny-Augusta Constimionalist.
No dear Brother. How can YOU ask us to
tarry awhile longer in the Union, and share
common destiny-why not say disgrace, aye! tha
is the word. You asked US to wait before, ano
told US when the tide of federal aggresslons came
TO such point, you would march out with us
smarting under the keenest aggression we waited
the pillows came even, beyond, far beyond the
point you designated, and now you ask us tc
stay-to tarry longer and share your destiny
never! we would joyously. have you go with Vi
from the Egyptian task masters-and tell you tina
the Red Sea has no perils-nor the desert beyond
We will not worship the "Golden Calf" (Cottol
13c. &c.) and therefore will soon see the smin!
land OF promise, our political canaan. Ask us no
then to stay with you in Egypt if you love he
hesh-pots betterthan the land your Fathers prom
ised you-the land Of your Rights, why we mus
bid you farewell, but beware of the Red Sea il yo'
join Pharohs hosts, to pursue liz.

! TO come IN South Carolina cannot act for

Did YOU ever know of great political move
ment when every body was agreed III the out

to 20 out of the Union us ii at the:commaud,

prcpostcrous. Perhaps you fear, that the ar.
mics Of the North, pnired with those of the non.
