SHOCK OF AN EARTHoUAKE.-We learn from Washington that, little before one o'clock on Thursday two weeks, a terrible shock of an earthquake was fell in that city. Such was the force of the shock that the clerks in the departments ran into the street in the utmost consternation, fearing that the buildings would fall and crush them. The earthquake was also felt at Raleigh, N. C., and along the coast of several of the Eastern States.

MR FILLMoRE.-"Observer," the Dem ocralc Washington correspondent ot the Philadelphia Ledger, says of the President Mr. Fillmore'S term of office has been marked by singular success; and it may be said of him, what perhaps, cannot be said of any other President, that he has not an enemy, and scarcely an opponent in either party. Willard Fillmore is an honest man and that reputation, which is placed above all contingencies, is the richest legacy he can leave to his children"
 This tribute, from political opponent, is eminently true. The honesty and sincere patriotism of his character, shed lustre upon his name brighter than any which hi; |high office can confer. He exemplitie, that spotIess, unselfsh integrity, so seldom found among public men, that it is scarcely looked for, and generally doubted wher discovered. Of how few, comparatively in high station. can it be said, as of Millarc Fillmore" He is an honest man" ."-ADa ny (N. Y) Register.

Democratic State Convention.

This body assembled at Little Rock on Monday, the Sd inst. Judge HoRNER, of this county, presided over its deliberations.- There were twenty ght or thirty counties represented. ELIAS N. CONWAY was nom- mated for Governor, and WM. A. McLAIN HENRY M. RECTOR, JOHN A. CARTER, and Col. T. B. FLoURNoY, Electors. The Con- vention expressed preference for DouG- LASS or BUCHANAN for President, and Gen. PILLOW for Vice President. Gen. CAss and the Compromise received the Ego by" most beautifully.
 Whether the nominee for Governor will receive the support of the Borland wing of the Democracy, is exceedingly questona- ble, for we notice in the Democrat of the 7th the following significant remarks:
 "But, disposed as we are 10 lend our humble aid in the election of the nominee of the Convention, there is one condition on which our support will depend: We must know his views in regard to Internal Improvements in our State. r. he is sound and orthodox on that subject, we are for him heart and hand. But, if he is opposed 10 them, or even lukewarm, we shall haul down his fag-tor we cannot consent to lend our aid to the election of any man to the first office in the State, or to d seat in the Legislature, who is so much behind the age. as to be opposed to raising our State at least 70 a level with her sister States, by the adoption of liberal and practicable system of Internal Improvement"

A NEW YORK GENTLEMAN IN A fIx' ~c' Many charity sales have taken place within the last six days, and they were all visited by large number of fashionable customers, who bid and pay high. It IS the rule in these charitable auctions that there be no bargaining, and the ladies who at tend the counters cheat the buyers in the best manner they can. An American gen. tleman, who is well known in New York among the upper-,en t-pork-aristocracy, went to the Sale Bonne Nouvele, where the sale was for the benefit of the Tenth Ward, and after having bought from a charming lady of his acquaintance a certain number of nick -nacs, demanded how much she would charge him fora kiss " ou may take il first" replied the lady, "and then pay after" "Taken for granted, said the American, and instantly he kissed her on her rosy cheeks "How much!'' said he, with triumphant smile "A thousand francs," answered the charmer, and MT. L. was obliged to pay the charge. But the most amusing part of the anecdote IS, that MT. L., who is married man, has met with the anger of his "better halt,' who cannot understood how that "long scamp" (such is the qualification she gives 10 her husband) "has become so enterPris- | ino."

 EFFICACY OF MORMON PRAYERS The Millenial Star, at Deseret, contains the cer- tificate of remarkable cure of small pox in two Mormon children, which was eflec-
 ted in one night, through the instrumental fly of olive oil and the prayers Of two Mor-
 mon priests. The father of the children
 was Thomas Banks, from Stafordshre, England. The children were covered over
 with the loathsome disease in the evening. The two priests were sought, sixteen miles
 distant, but they would not attend in per-
 Son-only in prayers. The certificate says
 the father returned home, and at the hour
 agreed upon for the prayers to open, he be- gan to rub their bodies "with oliue ou ac- cording 10 the Scriptures, laid his hand upon them, rebuked the disease, in the name of
 the Lord Jesus, and they were healed from that very hour. The child, whose body
 was mass of sores at 10 o'clock at night, on the following morning had not one dis coverable," thus showing to the faithful that
 miracles may be effected by faith and lit- tie oil

IMPRISONMENT OF CoLoRED SEAMEN IN SOUTH CARoMNA.-The validity of the law lof South Carolina requiring the imprison Iment of coored seamen who may arrive in the ports of that State, has at length been |controverted in form which will put it to the test before judicial tribunals of the coun- try. Manuel Pereia, a colored Portugese sailor, articled 10 service on an English brig, which was recently driven into Charleston by stress of weather, having been arrested and committed to jail, MT. Matthew, the British Consul at that port, has applied to
 Judge Withers, through his counsel, Mir. Petligru, for writ of Aabeas corpus. The
 Judge has refused to grant the writ, and
 notice of appeal has been given. The issue,
 therefore, has been legally raised, and there
 IS every probability that it will ultimately
 be carried up to the Supreme Court of the
 United States for final adjudication.

Frequent disputes had arisen between Penn and Lord Baltimore in reference to the limits of their respective provinces. Yeals of litigation was the consequence. In l760 both parties became tired of the dispute and an arrange ment was made, in consequence of which Jeremiah Dixon and Charles Mason were appointed to run the line, in l76l, which has since borne their names.

ABOLITION CoNsIsTENCY.-Some of the Cincinnati newspapers are waxing very sentimental in praise of lady in Louisville who has emancipated all her slaves, and purchased land for them in Ohio. We ven lture to say that before the poor creatures have been there a year, the Buckeye phil anthropst will deliver them of every dollar Ithey have in the world. The history of the Randolph negroes should have operated as warning 10 the lady who owned these negroes. We doubt not the pure and en- tire benevolence of her motives, but we shall be much deceived, if their emancipa- ton does not result in a state of things like that described in the following paragraph
 which we clip form the Virginia Coloniza- tionist:
 "The Randolph Negroes.-A writer in the Baltimore Patriot, who is travelling in Ohio, gives this account of the Randolph negroes, who, it will be remembered, were driven from their homes, which had been procured for them, by the whites:
 "Troy, about twenty miles from Dayton, is small and rather dilapidated town, be- tween this place and Piqua. Along the ca nal are majority of the Randolph negroes. It was in the adjoining county of Mercer, that the large tract of land was purchased | for their settlement, from which they were forcibIy ejected by the white inhabitants. The condition of these poor creatures is a sad commentary on the miserable policy of emancipating negroes, and allowing them to remain in this country. The majority of these once valuable servants, are now worthless pest upon the community among whom they are located, and often want for the common necessaries of life. 1 heard several express an ardent wish to return to the shores of the Roanoke again, where they once had plenty, and did not know what it was 10 suffer for want.
