The Berry Creek Party.

rD,roR DEMOCRAT: Permit me to say
t.w words in regard to the May Party al
porrv Creek, on the I'd inst. Owing to the
min but q small number of those who inten-
dad to be present arrived; but those who did
brave the storm were well repaid for their
trouble.
Tn common numbers there were twenty.
Eve ladies present, but as dancing commu
nity. they were equal to fifty-and in point
of beauty just as many as person could
wish. Doubtless, instead of the one hundred
nresent, on this joyous occasion, there would
have been at least three hundred, but for the
rushing, roaring, and raging tempest, which
came bowling in wrath from the dark old
mountains
The ballroom was enlarged for the occas-
ion and was superb, and trimmed with great
taste, especially the oranges that were hang.
ing in profusion among the fir boughs. The
band under the direction of Jim Mason, dis.
coursed most excellent music. The supper
was gotten up under the management of
Dave MaXheld, which is a sufficient guaran-
tee to all persons who have stopped at the
house during the past seven years. His mer.
its as caterer admits of no comparison in
this section of the country Suffice it to say
that on this occasion he surpassed himselfE
The household arrangements were under the
management of Mrs. David johnson. In
fact, the only thing that was not supplied
equal to the demand was time, as the hours
were only about twenty minutes long
Lastly, though certainly not least, let me
say word or two about our Generalssimo.
Russ JOHNSON 1t did me good to see the
great big-hearted "cuss" travel around and
see that everything was right, and his only
trouble seemed to be that his larder was not
attacked by n greater army, that he might
show how futile would be the attempt to eat
him out. By unanimous request Of those
present, he has consented to open his hospit-
able doors to us again on the F33..h of of july
and Woui' 'Evlse all Terpsichoreans to hold
themselves ID readiness for that occasion.
Yours, &c, HOP WALTZ.

QUITO, March 22 1859.
This morning, at 81 o'clock, the inhabi-
tants of this city passed the most bitter mo
ment of their lives. There was an earthquake
so severe that in four minutes the beautiful
city was almost entirely destroyed. The
central tower of San Agustin. the Chapel of
Sagrario large rart of the roof of the Ca
thedral. that portion of the Palace occupied
oy the Minister of the Interior, the Convent
of Santa Catalina, the greater portion of the
cornice of the Bishops Palace, the Church of
La Merced, two cloisters belonging to the
Convent of Santo Domingo, part of the Con-
vent of San Fernando, and the towers of the
Cathedral. of La Campania, of the Hospital,
of the Carmen Bajo-all are down There is
not house without portion oft on the
ground the walls with two or three cracks !;
and, finally. the damage done to this city
could not be repaired for SO, 900, which
is as much us to say that it will never be re-
paired, for we are poor, and have no materi-
al with which to make repairs.
Up to the present moments o'clock in
the afternoon-nine corpses have been taken
from the ruins-all of which are inhabitants
of the city, save the priest Guerra who was
a curate in Guayaqui and the mother of DR.
Mancheno. Large portions Of the College of
San LUIS, and Of the house of Dr. Albua
have fallen. The people have removed 10
the fields; the commons are full and the city
is deserted not living thing remains liz it
We learn that the buildings in the towns of
San Antonio, Cotocoalla, Machachi, ChiIlo-
gallo and Magdalena, are in ruins The Con
vent of San Diego, part of that of Santi,
Clara, and the tower of Santa Barbara have
fallen. The same destruction took place in
Tacunga, Ambato and Alansi and at Tin
pullo the earth opened in several places Af-
ter the earthquake there was a shower of
ashes.

Second Letter from Quito.

QUITo, March 90, 1889
We have had famine, poverty. war and
yesterday, ut $50 a. NJ there was an earth
quake so strong that it may he said without
eXaggeration' Here stood Quito" All the
churches have all suffered The converts are
all destroyed everything is either lying fiat
or broken TO fragments. Some of the col
leges are destroyed; others are in ruinous
condition
There are not twenty good private houses;
some are wholly or partly destroyed, and the
others are so shattered that the people are
afraid to go along the streets.
The news from the north is frightful. Co
tocallxo, Mono, Pomarqui San Antonio, Gala
cali, Perucho, Puellare, and Quinche are en-
tirely destroyed, including the haciendas.
1t is supposed that the earthquake came
from the north, and we may presume that

CONFLICT recently occurred at Valparaiso
between the United States Consul (Mr Ire
vitt) and the authorities of that place, grow
ing out of an attempt of the police to search
the consuPs private residents for refugees
The attempt was made during the absence of
the consul, but his place was supplied by his
lady, who refused TO permit the house to be
searched, owing to the fact that the police
had no written order for so doing. The con-
sui happening to arrive at the time when
the police officer was becoming violent in
his conduct, and finding thOt he had no writ.
ten request for the delivery of the refugees,
ordered him to leave, which he did. The
Valparaiso correspondent of the Panama
Star and Herald, in giving an account of the
affair, says:
In the alteration with the police officer,
after he had been made aware that he was in
the Consulate, Mr.. Rand, Consular Secretary,
was knocked down and would have been
killed, if Mrs. Trevitt had not placed herself
before him and dared them to strike her In
the struggle the Consul succeeded in disarm-
ing the officer, and this with revolver at
head was what really brought him to terms
finally.
The next day, a party of thirty men went
to capture the parties concealed, and politely
requested the Consul to walk out with his
family, in order that the house might be
searched, and if necessary, burned down fer
the sake of getting the prisoners. Mr.. Ire
witt then surrendered under protest, and left
the premises, where six young men were
shortly after found and taken prisoners.
There is a variety of opinion as to the
propriety of the conduct both of the Consul
and the authorities; but the fact is that the
lntendente who denies the right of the
American Consul to give protection, himself
sought refuge with his family in the house of
the Spanish Consul during the hottest part of
the tumult.
Mr.. Trevitt's exequatur was yesterday con
cealed by this Government, and it is said that
an action will be entered against him for re-
sistance to the constituted authorities.

GUAYAQUIL, March %, 1859
An earthquake, more severe than any
known to the memory of man, shook Qua
yaquil to-day. At As minutes after eight
o'clock in the morning, heavy rumblng OF
the earth was heard, followed Instantly bv n
slight shock to which we attached no impor-
tance in this city of earthquakes.
but when we believed the danger mast
the shock was repeated with so much vio-
lence that in forty seconds the city was in
ruins.
There could not be more frightful or
piteous sight. Pallor was in all faces, pray
ers in all mouths, weeping filled the eyes of
the bravest; on every side were seen pic
lures Of ruin and desolation such as we had
never seen before, and we wish never to see
again.
The As seconds of the shocks seemed as
long as an eternity.
1t is not yet possible to calculate with ex-
aetness the damage done, partly because we
write under the painful impression caused by
the known disasters, partly because much OF
the evil is yet unknown.
AS a consolation, we can say that compara-
lively little injury was done to persons.
The buildings have suffered to such an ex-
tent that it is supposed the repairs will cost
not less than 100000 or $5O0.O00 Every

MINING IN PLACER CoUNTY.-The Courier
of Saturday gives cheering accounts of the
mines at Forest Hill and vicinity. We ex-
tract few items:
Last week the Rough and Ready Company,
in this place, cleaned up their sluices, and
obtained, trohI weeks washing of tailings,
300 ozs of gold. They have great deal of
the same sort yet left, and will doubtless re-
aize handsome sum during the psesent sea-
son.
In the Vigilance claim, at Grizzly Flat, the
company have struck through the bed rock
into the channel, and are getting large pros
poets. Shares are held at very high figure,
some of the owners estimating their value at
$4,000.
Messrs Vance & Co., at Yankee Jim's,
cleaned up again on Monday last, and Oh
tained $l00-the work of three men for four
days
On the Rose claim, at Volcano Bar Mr.
Rose. one of the proprietors, picked up a
"chispa," on the 9Th inst, weighing % ozs
On the ridge between Mad and Ladies'
Canon, new and rich diggings have been
struck. The first pan of dirt taken from the
lead yielded, upon washing out, prospect of
S26.
On the claim of Morse & Co., piece was
picked up few days ago weighing IL ozs.
On the divide" between Ladies' and Vol
cano Canons, Messrs. Hetch, Wilmot IL Co.
have struck surface diggings from which
three men washed, in four days of last week,
one thousand one hundred and eleven dollars
The lead is thought to be extensive There
are other claims of the same character in the
neighborhood that are paying remarkably
well.
The miners at Oak Digging have good
prospects. Several of the claims are men
toned as paying first rate wages.

ception of the American Minister by Presi-
dent Juarez the Crescent says:
