By the following card to the Statesman un-
der date of Cleveland, July %, 1858, it will be
seen that the esteemed citizen and able jurist,
R. P. RASxEY, declines nomiAtiOn for the
Supreme Bench.
As my name has been suggested IN various

the Democratic State Convention, ask leave
through your paper, to express to the friends
who have thought me worthy Of a position Of
so much importance and responsibility, my very
sincere thanks for the confidence implied in
the suggestion; and TO assure them that the re-
newed evidence it affords of their approval of
the manner in which have discharged the du-
ties of the office heretofore, will be very CRATE
fully remembered. Under other circumstances
l should have no hesitation in complying with
their wishes; but in view ofthe location of the
remaining members of the Court, and Of the
propriety of having all parts of the State fairly
represented in it, l deem 1t my duty to with
draw my name from the list of those from whom
the selection is to be made.
Very respectfully, yours,

The Earthauake in nIe1ieo.


By the New Orleans Pieayune we have some
additional particulars concerning the late terri
bic earthquake in Mexico, CLEANED from the
Mexican papers:
The cathedral and temple of La COmpania
and San Augustin, at MOrelia, were thrown
down in ruins By the earthquake of the 18th
ult Some private buildings fell, and most Of
the others remained in dilapidated condition
At Patzacuaro, fifteen leagues from MoTelia, the
temples of La Paroquia, La COmpania, San
Juan de Dios and the Sanctuary Of Guadalupe,
were shaken to the ground, as well as number
of private houses, from the ruins Of which SIX
teen bodies had been recovered.
The adjacent villages Of Indapares, ChaTo.
&c, were thrown into ruins. In the town Of
Chilpaneingo sixty houses were thrown down,
and the streets heaped with ruins In Guadal-
siara all the houses, and in Inguls number are
reported to have suffered more or less; and tha
earthquake occurring during the heat Of tiriDg
between the ZulOaga and Jarez forces for
tine interrupted IT, In other towns noticed the
earthquake, though severely felt and causing
much alarm, is not reported to have done any
damage At Jalspa shock was also felt on
the 10th. SO that the phenomenon was expert
enced on three successive 5ays in different Por-
tiOns of the country.
Mr.. Forsyth, our Minister to Mexico, writes
that the earthquake was felt all over Mexico
He, with others, was walking in the street at
the time of the shock, and the motion was SO
great that it was not easy to keep ones feet,
although bracing them apart, and planting
cane to aid them. He adds
''The motion produced upon the houses has
precisely the same effect of a sea-swell, the
spongy ground upon which the city is built yield
ing TO the terrific phenomenon in a series oflong
undulating waves. 1t lasted minute and
half though not with the greatest violence all
the time, for, if it had, not one Of the massive
walls of which this city is built would have
been now standing. As 1t was, there is hardly
a house or church that has not been more or less
damaged /; some have fallen, killing persons and
animals, while hundreds are only kept up by
the props which have been applied TO them
Nv own house has crack in one Of the inner
walls from the roof to the ground, while seam
Is opened the whole length Of the AsoteaG-
For several days all carriages were prohibited
IN the streets, lest some house should be sha-
ken down. Several churches have been aban-
doned as unsafe. The palace Is very much
damaged. It appears to have been more Sc
we're on the Pacific than on the Atlantic slope,
as we hear of several villages totally destroyed
in that region.

The August Elections.

The elections for members of the Ihirty-sixth
Congress commence in August, and an interest
is impaired to them by the fact that if the peO-
pie should fail to elect at the next Presidential
election, the House of Representatives to be
chosen will have to make the choice.
In Missouri The election will be held August
second. There Is no Governor to be chosen,
and the Congressional and County tickets give
the principal interest to the contest. In St.
Louis County the canvass is very animated for
Congress, the three candidates, Mr.. Blair, Free
Democrat; Mr. Barrett, Buchanan Democrat !;
and Mr. Breckenridge, American; meeting and
addressing the same crowds from the stump
In the other districts the Democrats have it
all their own way, or the contest is confined to
Democrats and Americans.
On the first Thursday in August North Caro-
lima will elect Governor and members of the
State Legislature, which latter elect United
States Senator in the place of Mr. Bigg.-
The candidates for Governor are Democrats,
and are the Hon. Duncan X. McRae and Judge
Ellis. Alabama, Texas, Arkansas and Ten
nessee hold elections in August, but do not this
year choose either State officers or members OF
the next Congress.

Moaument. of Public Folly.

The coltish steam horse kicked up mmy
pranks that are marveled at now that he is set
ting into the traces Of an old stager. The nom
paving railroads scattered all over the country,
the railway schemes planned and half hnlshed'
and the magnificent steam palaces now rOtting
al the Lake decks, are among the monuments
o: the public folIies of the fast era Pennsyi-
vania has a notable one in the new Portage
Railroad over the Allegheny Mountains, to
unite the two divisions of her main Canal The
Old Portage Railroad, with its ten inclined
planes, was thought to be insufficient to COM
pete with the Pennsylvania Railroad, and SO
Gov. Bigler's Democratic administration IN
s,ead Of making an arrangement for using the
Pennsylvania Railroad, commenced the con-
siruetion of the New Portage Road, running
along side of it, thus increasing the already
enormous State debt two millions of dollars
Democratic Canal Commissioners and Demo
cratic contractors fattened on the plunder, but
in the sale of the Public Works the State sunk
the entire two millions expended.
Since the Main Line of Canal has come into
the possession of the Pennsylvania Railroad,
both the Old and New Portage Roads have been
abandoned as worthless The Pennsylvania
Company's road is adequate to all the business
and travel, and the ties, rails, &c, on the Port
re Roads are being sold for use iu other quar-
ters. The New Portage has never been ussd-
the folly has persisted in the erection of 1t

The ELECTION in Kansas.

Monday, August %, decides the fate Of the
Enolish-L Lecompton in Kansas. Gov. Denver has
issued his Proclamation prescribing the manner
of conducting the election and making returns,
and all appears fair on its face The accounts
from Kansas concur in the opinion thatthe vote
for Proposition rejected" viii prevail by large
majority, though the bribe of Office is now lib

John C. Calhoun, just on the eve of the cleo
ton, has given certificates to Free State ma
jority of the Legislature By adopting the Le-
compton Constitution, the Free State men
will have the State Government, two Free State

EpIroR LEADER The communication Of Hon.
Ed. Wade, in Mondays Leader, uses my name
in a connection that seems to require word
from me. cannot think that the writer intend
ed any personal imPutatiOn upon myself, yet as
the statements of which he complains would
seem to have been used mainly in my behalf, l
desire it to be known how far am responsible
for all that shall finally appear to have been
made.
1t is no new thing for candidate to seek his
way to symapthy through aclamOrOus Pretence
of being abused and slandered; and while Mr.
W. is removed above an imputation of this sort,
it is equally absurd to suppose that he or his
position have been Intentionally misrePresented
in this District in the manner stated.
Twas member ofthe last Congressional Con-
veution, and certainly no such agreement was
made as referred to by Mr.. VS. correspondent;
and nobody who knew hun would have sP-
preached him with such proposition; and
am not aware that among honorable men, there
is but Que opinion as to the morality or exPedi-
ency of such bargains.
The matter Of Mr. VS. again becoming a
candidate was to some extent freely discussed BY
many members of that Convention. some sad
he oughs not again to be candidate; some that
he would not be; and among them, II was sup
posed and understood that he would not be-
No mortal supDoses that he or his friends
were bound by his informal outside under
standing; nor to my knowledge has it been urg-
ed as a reason why he should not now be sup
ported. l am not aware that it was ever pre-
tended before that the members OF that body
undertook TO designate successor to MI
W, and am sure nobody would regard then
action if they had.
1 should be panied indeed to know that Mr.
Wade had been in any way misrepresented he
is entitled to vastly different reward have
no means of knowing what may have been SAID
in this canvass, outside of this city, as have
neither been away from Cleveland, nor have
sent an emissaTy to any part OF the Distinct
since it commenced; and hereby remove the
seal Of secrecy from all the letters written, and
the Injunction Of confidence from all conyersa'
tons holden by me, upon all matters pertain
ing to this whole subject.

OREGON and washington Indians.

The whole number of Indians in Oregon and
Washington Territories, as shown by the official
reports, is 39,7ls OF this number 2l,7l2 are
in Washington Territory. The tribes east Of
the Cascade Mountains number 1900 persons;
the tribes west of the Cascade Mountains,
9.7Is. The Spoksnes, who recently defeated
Col. SteptOe and his command, are east of the
Cascade Mountains, and number llOO- The
Nez Perces, also east, number :, 300. The bands
on the Columbia River, 1000. The twelve 9TH
er tribes east of the Cascade Mountains range
from $50 to 700 persons. The fourteen tribes
west of the Cascade Mountains range from 100
to 100, the most numerous being the Snoqual-
mic and allied tribes.
Shouldthe Indian war on the Pacific so inaus-
piciOusly begun become general, many lives and
a vast amount of treasure must be sacrificed to
conquer peace.

MISSOURI CORRESPONDENCE.


ST. LOUIS, July ~, AOCO-
DEAE EDIroK.-In this rafting, ph;zzing, go
ahead city where one knows everybody and at The
same time knows nobody, it is difficult to pick
out of the mass Of matter that accumulates on
which to write, that which would be most in
teresting to the readers of Northern paper
Populated as it is largely by Germans and
Americans from Kentucky and from Northern
free States, St Louis presents none of the a.
poets of city belonging and lying within
Slave State. The negro can hardly be said to be
an institution here; the hotels all have white
boys for walters; the draymen are now nearly
all white men, while the levee presents at least
tea white laborers to one negro. This state of
things am told is not because it is difficult to
keep the negro here, but because it is found that
the labor of the white man costs less than it
does toikeep, /. C., feed and clothe the negro.
The River is now at about its usual standard
of height for the season, and to one not knowing
of the recent rise it would be difficult to imagine
that it was ever up into cellars and even Offices
of the long range of business places on the
leyee; for now all is clear, all are busy. though
not hurried, through the long range Of one and a
half miles Of steamb1ats, loading with corn,
flour, oats, Agricultural implements, ETC., etc,
comprising all the various articles Of commerce.
The sspe'up" ofthe teamster who drives with
one line, mingled with the rattle of the Wheels
the ringing OF steamboat bells, andthe thousand
and one noises of city, presents feature
pleasing as it is novel, If looked upon with a
thought to what all is tending-yiz: the inter-
change of the dross called money to the ben
eft of the many.

versstion wherever a crowd or knot of two or

the procession made up Of about four hundred
different colored torch lights and banners was
a pleasing and attractive festure, but if they

Rev. Mr.. Knox, near Pittsburgh, has about five
acres of the New Rochelle Blackberry, and the

bushes are borne to the ground with their lus-

such as to cast all the pictures of them into the
shade. They are very sweet and spicy, and
