The Earthquakes at Broussa.

According to the last accounts the
losses suffered by the unhappy city OF
Broussa and the destruction of life from
the late earthquakes were greater than
was at first believed. The official state
mcnt is that of every ten houses two were
burnt in the fire which broke out after the
second shock, two were completely de-
stroyed by the convulsion itself, three re-
ccived little or no injury, and three must
be more or less demolished in order to be
rebuilt. At the village of Tepepjik every
house was destroyed; at several other
villages the loss was very great. The
victims of tho first shock of the 28th ol
February consists of 81 Mussulmans in
Broussa and 6 in the villages, 40 Greeks
IA Americans, and Jews in Rroussa
and proportionatcH Humbers in the villages
The total killed and wounded in the first
shock amounts to 445. In the second
shock the Jews suffered severely, no less
than SO having perished. On account Of
the precautions taken by the population
the loss of life was less than on the former
occasion. Total killed and wounded 204.
The loss, therefore, from two shocks
amountssto $40 victims Boston f;far.

Curious Phenomenon.

On Saturday last, about A. NJ, our
river suddenly rose from three to four feet
in height. Big waves extending its whole
width surged swiftly along, very seriously
affecting the vessels at anchor, and tossing
about the smaller craft as SO many toys,
The water deepened rapidly, and sol
alarm was felt as to how it would all emu.
After the termination of fifteen minutes,
however, this influx began to subside, and
the river became quiet as usual. AT 4,
P. NJ, precisely similar movement COM
menced in an opposite direction; the water
rushed ont and exhausted the river from
three to four feet below its usual level.
After this sudden freak, the equilibrium
of waters was again restored. Several
gentlemen who observed this, were puz-
zled how to account for it, as there was
no wind stirring, aud the lake was per-
|fectly still. A precisely similar circum-
stance happened to Buffalo fiver, some
two years since, at the same time severe
shock of an earthquake was felt in Onto
rio and other counties. Many were dis
posed to trace this effect to such cause.
Whether our Lake has its food and ebb
tide, or whether this phenomenon was
caused by "Earth's internal fire." we Will
leave for "savants !" to investigate and de-
cide.-Caseogo Tribune, Of Thursday.

Emancipation in Cuba

We have received from a high and per-
fectly reliable source, intelligence of the
most interesting character from the Island
of Cuba. The pacific turn which the re-
lations between Spain and the q. States
have recently taken, has thrown complete
gloom over the projects and hopes Of the
Creoles. Despairing of receiving aid from
the United States Government, and their
friends here being prevented by the Men,
trality laws from going to their assistance,
they have, it seems, resolved upon des-
Iperate leap for freedom They have de-
termined to revive the original idea of Lord
Palmerston, which was not agreed to at
the time because of the condition Of the
abolition of Slavery.
The new Club of Independence now
consent to admit of gradual emancipation,
in order to obtain from England guar.
antee Of independence, and they have re-
ferred the subject not only to Lord Pal
merston, but the Abolition societies Of
England and France. From the recent
rapid and increasing enlistment Of the
blacks, numbering now six thousand men.
and from other indications, the Cubans are
convinced that the design Of Spain is to
Africanize the Island, and they are willing
to anticipate her in the design, if by it
they can secure the protection Of England,
and deliverance from Spanish oppression.
The announcement of such q scheme can
not fail to excite attention in all quarters
Of the country. Charleston Msrcsry.

Which of them are We to Believer

Which of them are We to Believe?
In the course of the speech of Kenneth
Rayner, on Wednesday evening last, he
undertook to demonstrate that the charge
made by enemies of the American party
that portion of theE recent, Convention
had seeded, was false that no secession
had taken place; that they met as brothers
and parted as brothers, o portion Of the
members contenting themselves with "pro-
tessngn against that part Of the proceed
ings from which they dissented, but con-
tinuing to act with them up to the close.
A few yards of, OF the same gathering,
Mr.. Pike, Of Arkansas, held forth, and in
the course Of his argument he declared
emphatically that portion Of that body
had seeded; that Massachusetts had se-
sceded; that New Hampshire had seeded,
and that other States had seeded, and he
thanked God they had gone. They were,
he said, divorced, and he hoped the di-
vorce might be perpetual.
Would it not be well that Messrs. Ray
ner and Pike should compare notes before
they appear together again in public, for
the purpose of declaring the principles OF
the new National partyY'-BaA. Rep.

MISREPRESENTATION Victories.

By private letter received from the
City of Mexico, dated June 5, we learn
that on the 29th ult., the advance of Pres
ident Santa Annals army, numbering
about 1000 men, made its appearance
before the City of Ario, Gen. Comonfort's
headquarters. The latter General imme-
diately ordered a sortie from the garrison,
and his soldiers rushing forth with "the
light of battle in their faces" suddenly
fell upon the Imperial army, and, after a
short but desperate battle. totally routed
and put the enemy to fight. This forced
the entire army of Fl. S. 81. to retire to
Morelia, where at the latest accounts, he
was waiting good opportunity to return
to the capitalLN. o. DeHa, June 10.

For the Spirit of Democracy.
Representative.

Mr.. EDIroR: 1t is the duty of the
democracy, at the approaching County
Convention, to put in nomination for Rep
resentative, men of acknowledged ability.
The next General Assembly will have fol
its consideration questions of great i'm
portance to every one of US. Various
notifications of the Tax Law will be con-
sidered. Numerous changes of the School
Law will be proposed, among them the
proposition-of momentous Importance to
the people of this county-to change the
State levy into County levy. The Grim.
inal Laws will probably be codifed. and
it is believed there will be general revis-
ion of the Laws OF the State.
In all this Monroe county should moi
stand as q cipher, but she should maintain
o prominent part. How is this to be done!
The answer is plain: By sending to the
Legislature our best men--men of ability
men who understand our wants, and
can make them known-men who know
our rights, and can maintain them--mer
who would not be drones in our Legisla
tive halls--but working, thinking business
men.
Among the many whose names have
been mentioned, in connection with tn,
Legislature, have frequently heard thu
name of JAMES r. NORRIS. Mr.. Norris
qualifications are known to us all, and
assert but truism in maintaining that h,
is eminently fitted for the place. Will HI
accept? understand that he is now alb
sent, SO that his feelings on the subjec
cannot probably be ascertained at thi
time; but if he will accept at all, am il
favorof his nomination. And in this view
/ am only ONE OF MANY.

The Revolution in Nicaragua.

We are in receipt of private advices
from reliable correspondent at the city
of Leon, Nicaragua, by which it appears
that the political aspect of affairs is ma
terially changed, and that the revolution
lists, or Castillon party, are fast losing the
prestige which they had gained by Sc
ries of brilliant victories about year
since. San Juan del Sur, Castillo Rap
ids, Virginia Bay, San Juan del Norte,
and indeed the entire southern portion Of
the Republic, are in the possession of the
legitimate or Chamorro party, while Leon,
Chinandega, Realejo Chichigalpa, Gren.
ada, Massalla and Managua, lately held
by the Democratic party, have passed OF
are about passing into the hands of Their
opponents.
Castillon (at whose invitation Colonel
Walker was nearing the scene of strife)
had been deposed by his party, who had
recalled Munoz, Ex-President of the Re
public. He is now called the Cincinnatus
of Central America. 1t is thought that
the legitimist party have succeeded in
buying Munoz, and that he will pursue
the policy pursued by the late Don Fruto
Chamorro, of excluding all foreigners
from owning property in the state, and
offering every obstacle to the settlement
of Americans on the public lands.
The Democratic or Castillon party
have left Chinandega and Realejo, and
the government or Chamorro party are
now outside of Leon, with large force
preparatory to the formal investment o
the place. Grenada remains in the hands
of the Chamorristas. 1t was rumored
when the Sierra Nevada left, that decisive
battle had been fought. The news was
some ten days old. The Democratic par
ty had about 500 men inside of Leon
including a few Americans and their be.

The Way the Know Nothings lost
Money IN VIRGINIA

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Herald tells a good story in
connection with the Virginia election.
1t is weii known that the betting men in
the Order at Washington suffered i'm
mensely by betting against Wise. 1t
seems they had got the dark-lantern con-
spiracy into Page county, which is part
of the old Tenth Legion of Jefferson, and
which always gave seven hundred Demo-
cratic votes out Of total of seven hun
dred and fifty. The brethren, however,
had contrived to get five hundred and
ninety-one members on their roll in Page,
and felt certain of success in that county.
The fact was communicated to head
quarters at Richmond and Washington,
and there was great rejoicing over the re-
suit. "But Fortune is fickle," says the
Herald, and even Know Nothings are
not always reliable. A few days before
the election, the Grand Sachem Of Page
called his lodge together to consider busi-
ness of great Importance; and, when all
had assembled, he remarked, in words Of
oooOiuCSS IL uOG vi plCGy
1--WE profess to be Democrats-have
always been Democrats; but we are about
making ID fools of ourselves. Now
I have proposition to make you: I pro.
pose that each one of us shall subscribe
all the cash he can raise, as betting fund
that we dispatch an agent to Washington
to bet it on the vote of Page county, and
that we then burn our records and vote
for Wise.''
What glorious prospect for specu
lation! and no sooner said then done
Near $50, 900 was raised, and the appoint
ed agent, accompanied by the presiding
officer of the lodge, visited this city. Th'
latter called on brother Ellis, gave hin
the signs, grips and passwords, and assur
ed him that FIVE hundred and ninety-on
names had been regularly recorded il
Page. This was enough-proof rs strons
as Holy Writ that Page was certain TO
Flournoy, the Know Nothing candidat
lfor Governor. Just about this time
green-looking Democrat from Page hap
pened to cross the path of brother Ellis
and boasted of Wise's strength in tn
"Tenth Legion" The bait took, an
brother Ellis was victimized to the tun
of $4,000. The county cast nine hun
dred and sixty-one votes for Wise, an
the treacherous Know Nothings pockete
brother Ellis cash, beside winning som
$4,000 of others who bet by the recort
! GIN. Enquirer.

The Earthquake in Baltimore.

The citizens of Baltimore, with but few
exceptions, were startled and aroused
from their slumber last night, or rather
this morning, by singular rumbling noise
and oscillatory movement of the earth, re-
sembling an earthquake. 1t was, SO far
as we have been able to learn, heard and
felt in all parts of the city. Many, whom
we have seen this morning, were startled
from sound sleep, almost instantaneous
ly, in amazement. persons rushing to
their windows and doors, as if waking from
dream, scarcely able to realize what had
startled them. The shock commenced at
precisely half past twelve o'clock. as
noted by chronometer watch, not vary
ing one minute from true time for ten
months. It was preceded by deep rum
bling noise, slight tremulousness of the
earth, and this succeeded by two shocks;
the third and last, very severe; so much so,
that houses were shaken to their founda-
tions. windows and doors ratified furious
ly. furniture shaking, and, in some instan-
ces detached articles slightly removed
from their places. In very few minutes
| after this singular phenomenon though at
an early hour when one half the world is
wrapped in slumbers, probably two-thirds
of onr inhabitants were awake, anxious to
Idiyene the cause of SO novel q sensation.
Some, who happened to be upat the time,
describe the shock as remarkably severe.
The earth evidently vibrated distinctly, and
seemed to be laboring under some power
fnll conYulsion, either of her internal or
external elements. The duration of the
shocks probably a half minute, dying Oh
in q deep toned, rumbling sound like dis
tant thunder, or the rolling Of heavy car
upon the pavement, losing itself in a south
ern direction. - Baltimore Patriot.

Alvarez, Revolutionary Army,

A very absurd rumor has been started
in this city, that the reputed discovery of
gold mines in Guerrero and the liberality
of General Alvarez in declaring them free,
were but designs to cover the violation Of
our neutrality laws by enlisting men for
the iberating army. We are assured BY
Mr.. Paray Alvarez, the nephew Of Gene
raj Alvarez, who has resided some time in
this city, that they were strictly and en-
phatically false. If Alvarez had desired
men or munitions of war from this port,
Gen. Comonfort would not have visited
New York last fall The revolutionary
army now numbers over twenty-five thous-
and men; enough for the purpose of Al
varez, who is extending his operations far
beyond Acapulco. Being master Of all
Michoacan Moreia, he is now determined
to capture that city and to hold it.
Alvarez plan is to harass Santa An
mas troops, to defeat them in squads, to
separate them, but not to engage, as yet
decisive battles, not to attack large towns,
nor to march against the city of Mexico.
This plan, though slow, has already effect
ed serious results. Santa Annals soldiers
in the interior, reduced to half their orig
inal number, are almost disbanded, and the
leaders are discouraged. Col. Echegaray,
in report to the Commander General of
Guanajuato, says that this war is without
the slightest aspect of glory. When the
insurgents are numerically weak, they fly
i and establish Themselves at n different

The 18th of july conyenaoa.

7sa We have been Watching with some attention,
and not little interest, the squabble between
& the Frcesoilers and the Know Nothings for SUI
) premacy At the Convention to be held in Co
Il lunbus on the 18th July. A most glorious
confusion of parties has been the result of their
labors thus far. A portion of the Know Moth
ings are in favor of "simon pure" Know Moth
sings for candidates, and portion of thom are
for Fressoil Know Nothings. A portion of the
! Freesoilers, and We believe the larger portion,
arc in favor Of men of their own party, untaint-
God with Know Nothingism; believing with Gid
dings, that aft is clearly impossible that man
tscan renain in and promote that organization,
. and be a Republican," but a portion of them
thinking, perhaps, that half loaf is better
than no bread" are willing to fuse and make
z amixed ticket. Now, we are aneither prophet
! nor'the son of a prophet, !" but will venture to
predict that one of these two things will be the
result: First and most probable, Freesoilism
] will prcdominate in the Convention, and square
ont Freesoilers will head the ticket, and one or
two Know Nothings viii be tackled on 10 the
s tail-end of 1t, in order to form fusion; or in
case this is not done, two tickets will be formed,
each party nominating its own men. In either
caes the result must be humiliating to the
Know Ncshinss. If they accept the fusion upon
these conditions, they virtually acknowledge
Themselves to be a third rate party in the State.
e II they do not accept it, and nominate THEN
Town ticket they will be beaten by both the
Democrats and Freeaoilers. Such, at least, are
the present Indications; and either the 18th OF
July, or the second Tuesday in October, will
Ecleariy develop the fact that Know Nothingism
