AN extraordinary earthquake occurred /,

AN extraordinary earthquake occurred in
the Kingdom Of Naples, in Italy, on the 10th
of last December. The fact was not men,
toned in our columbus some days ago, but
the details of the news by the last steamer
having come to hand give fhrther accounts of
the phenomenon. The shock was severely
felt in the city Of Naples, which, as most of
Our readers know, is situated near the base
of Mount Vesuvius. The first shock was
in the midnight time, and in q few moments
the inhabitants of the city were in the streets
in the utmost state Of alarm for their lives,
some half dressed, some in blankets they
carried from their chambers in their hurry
and fright, and many in their night dresses
only. The people remained in the streets all
night, and presented spectacle seldom
seen.

WASHINGTON, Jan. II.

ASHINCTON, Jan. IL.
The Interior Department has received all
the census returns of Minnesota, with the
of six districts. She has $4,000
and will ae entitled to only one
member Of Congress. The three Represcn-
tatives cannot be admitted therefore. A new
election will be held.
WASHINGTON, Jan. Is.
The correspondent of the Post says the
Minnesota Constitution, subscribed with the
names OF all the delegates, and certified to by
the Secretary of the Territory, has arrived,
but Governor Medary refuses to sign it. He
says the copy sent to him, agreeable to the
Lew Constitution, he sent to the President.
The new Senators, Representatives, and Del
egates from Minnesota, agree to certify that
the names signed e genuine, which may be
explainable. The Committee on Territories
had meeting to-day To settle the matter.
The Lecomptontes are Sanguine OF success,
and boast that they will carry the Constltu-
ton through in less than ninety days.
The Administration is anxious to keep
Minnesota out Its supporters in the Senate

trainers, as the voice of IS, 900 people OF the
Territory.

The st. Lawrence Hotel Murder Case
Kansas Election.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. IL.
A gentleman from Kansas, by last nights
train, states that Calhoun was to commence
counting the votes of the election of the 81 of
December on Thursday last, in the presence
Of the presiding officers of the Legislature and
Governor AS soon as this was done, mes
senger would be dispatched to Washington,
with the vote and the State Constitution CAL
houn would not leave the Territory until the
result Of the election for State officers were
in. The result of the election of the 4th is
still in doubt.
Col Henderson, of Leavenworth. was
forcably taken from the state few miles

The Advantage of being an Irishman.

The Advantage of being an Irishman.
A few weeks since We mentioned as item,
of interest the fact, that, of the jury recent
ly empanneled at Hastings, only nine were
Irishmen, none of whom could read or
write
Surprising something more to have been
meant by this than was said, and assuming
that something to be in furtivc derogation of
freshmen, Mr.. Murphy rushes on the opin-
ions of the Pioneer to the defence of his coun-
trymen.
Mr.. Murphy is surprisingly felicitous in
surprising something more to have been meant
than was said in the case in question, though
he is scarcely so happy in his Interpretation
of the inunedo. In replying to ques ton of
this particular Murph, and for the satisfaction
of Murphys in general we take occasion to
say that we do not consider it any harm to
be an Irishman." On the contrary we regard
it as decided advantage to be an freshman
and a positive misfortune, on the other
hand, to happen to be an American, or any,
thing else not connected on the buttered side
with an Irish name. If to the advantage of
being an Irishman is added the seductive dis
tinction of not being able to read or write,
the candidate for official honors has reached,
in this compound of negations, the summit
of human felicity-whle the calamity of an
American or German origin increases in pro-
portion to the departure from that normal
and virgin condition of the mind which is
the special grace AMI glory Of Irishmen.
Now Mr.. Murphy will understand that in
the mentioning the large portion of Irishmen
on the Hastings jury, we meant it simply as
an illustration of the great advantage of be-
ing an IrShman, and of not knowing how to
read or write. We record it simply as we
would record a meteorological observation
as an instantia nature, which may be useful
in the concentrations of future political phil
osophers. -.4dcertiser.

ST. Louis, JAN. 20.

er of the House. The vote on the 21st stood !;

The vote on the Constitution is not yet
counted. Calhoun says he shall not close
the count now, but will receive other returns
that may be presented, although the eight
days given for making returns have expired.
