Important from Venezuela.

Ihe Earthquake at CisnaGna.-A1ptuL
Destruction, Of Life and Property.-This
calamity. so terrific at all times In South
ern countries, has proved far more disas-
troHs in the present instance than the first
reports gave reason to suppose. Private
letters to July 22d from Puerto Cabello,
received by the last conveyance, give us
unwelcome particulars, as they prove that
the earthquake OF the 18th of July at Gu
mana was one of the most disastrous that
ever occurred in South America. The
present unhappy state Of civil war in Ven
ezuela is the cause of delay in cemmuni-
cations, as the province Of Cumana is the
only one now holding out against the gov
eminent, the rebellion having been else
where suppressed. The news was brought
to Puerto Cabello by the crew OF nation
al vessel, the Bolivar, who had deserted
and joined the rebels.
The first shock of the earthquake was
SO violent that, although it continued its
vibrations only two minutes, it destroyed
in that short space of time, every house
but one in that principal part of the city
called Puente Arriba. Many of the inhab-
itants Of the portion which contained the
dwellings OF the more opulent, were buri-
ed in the ruins. There can be no doubt
that some of the succeeding details are
liable 10 be questioned, on account of the
channel through which the news was
brought to Puerto Cabello; but they gener.
ally received credit among respectable
men al that place, from several OF whom
the story has been received here. This
shocking catastrophe seems to have pul
a sudden and complete end to the war;
for 600 soldiers in the barracks were a
mong the victims, together with almost all
the officers Of the revolution. The utmost
CONSERVATION naturally prevailed among
the survivors, and it is said that respec.
table ecclesiastic was sent TO General ]
F. Monagas. who was preparing his troops
to march against Cumana, offering 10 sub.
nit and asking for assistance for the SUI.
ferers. 1t is added that these requests
were assented to, and that he Immediately
sent his brother with supply of provis
ions and men. The earthquake was fel
in Barcelona, and destroyed three large
buildings, including the barracks, just af
ter 700 soldiers had left them. All along
the coast of Venezuela, shocks were felt
but no mischief was known.
1t is said that the superstitions of the
people led many Of them to look upon the
earthquake as an evidence Of the Divine
disapproba,ion Of the revolution.

itants, laying on the gulf Of Caraico, at the
mouth Of the Maranares. ltis the oldes

A Terrible Bloodv Tragedy.

The vicinity OF Dayton was the field OF as
dark and damn able tragedy on Friday
night last, as the annals of crime have
afforded for years. An old widow woman
and her son, lad Of some fourteen years,
were found murdered in the woods, by the
roadside, and the son-in law Of the woman,
FRANK Dick, is not only suspected OF be-
ing the fiend who did it, but the proofs are
almost conclusive against him. The wo-
mans name was YOUNG; she owned a
small mill, and with her son was accus-
toned to attending the Dayton market with
meal, which they conveyed with cart
and horse.
The Journal, OF Saturday, gave the fol-
lowing particulars:
The skulls of both were terribly crush
ed. The blows had been given in the
faces Of the victims, which were blacken-
ed and disfgured, and their ioreheads
broken in.
The wagon appeared to have been 60
ing up slight elevation, which was in a
thick part of the woods, when the blow
was struck. The wagon seemed to have
run back against an old log, and in the
road above there are marks of struggle
piece Of the unfortunate woman s comb
lay in the wagon-track; marks of hands
struck upon the earth, as if in agony, are
plainly diseernable. From this point the
body of the woman was dragged through
the bushes some sixty yards, TO the place
where it was found.
The boy seems to have been endeavor.
ing to make his escape, and to have been
pursued and murdered in an old tree-toE
which lay upon the ground. The leaves
were all covered with blood. The body
had been dragged, apparently, short dis
tance from the spot, and was found at the
loot of tree, and not far from the road
The boys cap was found thirty yards be.
yond the place on the road where the as
sauls was made.
Frank Dick vas noticed near the scene
| of the murder, seated on log. his head
resting upon his hand. Shortly after he
left the place to go back to the house o
Mrs. Young, and it is said soon increased
his pace 10 run. He was followed, ar
rested, ard committed to jail Blood wa:
found upon his shirt-collar and bosom
and The sleeves had been washed oat r
dirty water, rubbed over with sand, ant
rolled up.
The murdered woman's husband was
found in canal few years ago, with
marks of violence upon his person. Th'
son-in-law Dick is reported as lazy, shift
less sort of person. and, though his wifi
and children lived with the old woman. h,
had been driven away by her. His wifi
says that, though her mother had sent hin
off, he had been about the house every
night this week until last night.
After the return of Young from Mexico
Dick it seems, had assisted him in payinl
for the mill; the deed. it is said, havin.
been made to Mrs. Young. The desir'
to obtain possession OF the mill propert.
is set forth as motive for the commission
of this double murder.

Shut him up-Thus!

If Wing ever opens his head about
Democratic measures, shut him up by put
ting this morsel into the cavity. 1t is con.
fessed by the National lnfelligencer, that
there is now a surplus within fraction OF
$22. 100000 in the Treasury, notwith.
standing the Secretary is redeeming Uni.
ted States Stock, and otherwise paying the
public debt as fast as the law to that end
will allow him. Thus it appears that the
Governments revenues are increasing so
rapidly that the public debt is being fast
extinguished without materially decreas-
ing the amount of cash on hand. And
this, mind you, in spite, in very spite Of
the lavish and unsparing galphanism and
contract jobbing, which would have deplet-
ed any treasury, except one supplied by
the wise policy of the democratic tariff OF
1846. So i
The unparalleled prosperity of the coun-
try. has been owing TO Democratic legis-
lation, though that legislation in its execu-
ton, has been hampered by whig officers.
Why should the people desire any return
to whig rulers even, either in federal or
state concerns.-StateSman.

SILVER M1NE.-The silver produced in
the United States is in small quantities,
which are extracted from copper, lead and
gold. As yet there has not been opened
in the United States any mine yielding sill
yer ores; nor is there much evidence that
there is any silver mine in the country.
unless it be in New Mexico. AT numer.
Gus points in that country have been dis
covered traces of mines long since aban-
doned, which according TO the traditions
OF the country, were once worked with
various degreesof success. Recently in
the southern part of the territory, not far
from the Del Norte, fifty miles above El
Paso, in q range Of mountains named Las
Organas, there have been found veins OF
silver ore, which are believed to be very
rich and extensive. e.-St. Louis Intezligen.
