Frightfnl Earthquake.
Three Thousand Lires Lost.

The Iadian mail brings advices of another of
those dreadful earthquakes for which Tornati
and the adjoining localities in the Molaccas are
provrrbmI. An eruption of the active volcano
on the island Of Great Sangir, in long. 125. de-
grees 90 minutes f., and latitude 30 degrees
30 minutes ~, has occurred The northwest
eIn part Of the island of Great Saugir is formed
by the mountain Avn, which has several peaks,
the highest being about 1900 feet above the
sea. On the west side the mountain runs very
steep into the ga, at the height the large VII
lagr kandhar, however, falling away to low
promontory.
Between seven and eight O'Clock on the
evening ofthe 2d of March, sudden and al
together indeScribablp crashing noise was heard,
which, indicating to the Sangirrse an eruption
of the volcano, flied them with CONSERVATION.
simultaneously with this, the glowing lava
streamed downwards with irresistible force in
different directions, bearing with it whatever it
encountered on It's destructive course, and caus-
ing the sea to boil wherever they came in con-
tact, The hot springs opened up AMI cast out
flood OF boiling water which DESTROYED and
carried away what the fire had spared. The
sea, obrdient to an unusual impulse, lash-d the
rocks with frigh:ful violence, dashed upon the
shore, and hraved itself with wild bastp against
the land, as if it strove to overmaster the fire
stream.
The frightful picture of destruction, the hor-
ror of which was increased by the shrieks of
men and beasts, The wild roaring OF the tenn
pest, and the crashing of thousands of trees torn
up and carried away, was followed, about an
hocr later, by prals of thunder which shook the
ground and deaftned the ear A black column
OF stones and ashes then shot up from the noun
tain TO an immense height, and fell, iluminpd
by the fire of the lava, like shower of fire up
on the surrounding country below, producing
a darkness that, only now and then momentari-
" broken by the flashes Of lightning, was so
intense, that people could not discern objects
close at hand, and which completed their con-
fusion and despair. Large stones were hurried
through the air, crushing whatever they fell
upon. Houses and crops, which bad not been
destroyed by fire, sunk and disappeared beneath
the ashes and stones, and the hill streams, stop
ped by those barriers, formed lakes, which,

EIGHTY IMP0RTANT PAPERs.

G5y-We publish to-day two highly important pa
pers 10 which we would seriously call the attention
OF the people of all parties. The the address of
the Democratic State Central Committee-the other
the address Of B. F. MEYERS, Esq. recently one of
the most prominent and influential wings of Somer-
set county. The address Of the Committee emhra-
all the material facts in reference 10 Slavery and
kansas, and the calm, respectful, and frank manner
m which these questions argued, leaves no room
for doubt that the paper will be carefully peIused by
.he intelligent freemen Of Bedford county.
The address OF Dir. Meyers is no less interesting,
il reveals state Of deception on the part of the lea
ders OF the party opposed TO us unparalleled in the
political history of this country. Read these papers
carefully and then hand them to your neshbors 10

Fremont 4 Catholic.

It would seem, by The following extracts from
Che Charleston Courier, that, after all, Fremont
has been, il he is no; now, Catholic, notwith-
standing the denials made by bis supporters:
eve are sckened and disgusted with the
miserable qui5blings and palt:y subteriuges of

mitted TO Fremont.
''We have nothing to do with the details Of
electioneering eXpedrnts, nor do We care par
tlcularly what may be the religious or irreli
gous belief Of the renegade advrnturer who is
now receiving the plaudits Of the free-ove, and
tree-land, and tree-nioney socialists and radicals
OF northern States. The qualifications OF John
{. Fremont Tor the presidency would be neither
increased diminished, nor affected in anywist,
by any solution OF the questions which have ai-

good, manly, candid citizenship, and for these

REV. DIR. SCmMUCKER.

Il When this gentleman was in Bedford last
summer he seemed anxious TO give expression TO his
political views on the subject OF Slavery; and, in
conversation intended 70: the public ear the Doctor
made three distinct points as follows:
/. That the blood Of tie Hhlc-uan and The
.lcgro are the same
,. Tint Il Negro ought 10 be allocedfo rofe,
3. Tint Negro ought 10 be eligible 10 oOicel
+, That the time raS not djstaat cheW this
state Of things wOuid be reali1edt
We thanked the DR.. Tor his candor in thus giving
expression TO his views, remarking that if all the
Black Republicans would speak as plainly, the peo-
pie would have difficulty in determining the fearful
Issue before them. After making these startling de-
claratons, however, The Dr. repudiated the idea that
ne was an ABOLITIONIST!
In addressing democratic meeting in Schellsburg
a short time since, we quoted, in respectful man
ner, the precise language of the Rev gentleman, as
an evidence of he blind anaticsm now pervadng
the minds OF the Aboiitioniss, falsely styling them
selves Republicans. Every honest in that large
assemblage will bear TESTIMONY to the fact that we
did not say harsh unkind word of DR.. Schmnck-
er, and yet Fr Jordan x Co. publish 10 the world
that we ottaotr@ him in spirit OF vulture-ke a.
buse. Ii we have not quote3 the Or. correctly, Rev
Mr.. BENEDICT and others who present at the
conversation will set us right.

DENOMINATION OF MIR. GROW.

The denomination of Hon. GALUsHA A.
Grow by the freemcn of this Congressional
district, is deserved tribute to the ability and
faithfulncss with which he has represented the
wishes and feelings of his constituents. Placed
at the commencement of the present Congress,
at the head of the Committee of Territories,
he has discharged the arduous and responsible
duties of that elevated position with great
credit to himself. Mr. Grow is now qualified
by experience in Congress, added to his high
abilities, to he a useful member Conversant
with the rules of the House, he occupies po-
stion which can only be attained by long and
severe training in the Halls of Congress
His denomination has been the spontaneous
expression of the public voice. 1t is the uni
vcrSal recognition of the fact, that he is now
able to represent this district with more use
fulness and ability than any other man in it..
The times demand that the North should not
dispense with the services of her tried and true
men, We need in the Congress of the nation
such men as GALUsHA A. Grow The popular
appreciation of this truth will be uttered at the
ballOt-box in October
