the 18th ult., says:
We have received, too late for publication
this week, letter from our Erxeroum cor-
respondent, respecting tho occurrence Of .
most destructive earthquake there on the
morning Of the I'd inst. The catastrophe,
which principally consisted of one terrible
shock, lasting some fifteen seconds, had 90
casioned immense loss Of lives and property;
more than fifteen hundred human beings-it
was roughly calculated-and nearly ell the
large buildings of that town have fallen q
prey to the calamatiy. Slight shocks con-
tinued to occur up till the evening OF the Sd,
but the principal damage had been OCCASION
ed by the only terrible convulsion Of the pre-
vious morning.

ssThe Plough Handle Ticket.,'
Some OF the cotsonized, 'tuft hunting De-
mocracy seem to be awfully puffed up with
pride in view Of the "high responsibilities"
placed in nomination by their State Conven-
ton. They boast on all occasions Of the gen.
tility and exalted position of their candi-
dates. They never weary in reciting the high
Offices which have been held by Dodge and
Mason, Babbitt and Wilson, and Of the dis
tinguisbed consideration shown them by the
Federal Government.
All this might be permitted to pass as the
hhsI zzalSsS exhibition u sho natural aristo-
cratic proclivities OF the slave Democracy
exulting over the nomination of tho chief
leaders Of their old Office holding dynasty,
were It not for the tone of contempt in which
they speak OF the Republican ticket. The
Democratic Clarion, for instance, derides
orr State ticket as the tsPlough handle Tick
et," because Mr.. Kirkwood and Mr.. Rusch
are known to be prosperous farmers, and
thereby identified in interest and sympathy
with the great body OF the people Of the
State. But not content to heap ridicule upon
the farmers BY this j.ngling effort at witt.
cism and raillery, the Clarion stigmatises the
laborers Of the State in the very phraseolo.
gy and spirit Of the Southern nabobs az
"white niggcrs." Laborers, read and learn
how tho Democratic press Of Iowa regard

The sugar Crop In Louisiana.

The editor of the Franklin (La.) Banner
gives the following a. his views Of the pro-
mise OF the crops between New Orleans and
the town Of Franklin:
During flying visit to New Orleans, via
tho Opelousas Railroad, we took occasion to
note tho general appearance Of the corn and
grain crops on the way. The former, we are
sorry to say, is almost q perfect failure, and
neither rain, sunshine, nor heavy dews, will
do it any good. The fields Of cane, though
backward, are more encouraging, and with
favorable weather in the future, may posi-
bly, yet "come out" in the end, and produce
medium crop, Notwithstanding the late
spring. A large or even an average crop is
entirely out OF the question. We have scarce
ly ever seen the cane 80 small at this season
Of the year.

~"Chevalier Cassidy OF the Albany Ar
gus states," says the N. Y. Herald, sthat we
trotted out George Law, rubbed him down,
currycombed him, brought out his best
points, got him into condition, nnd then
trotted him back again into the stall, not
backing him finally for tie Presidential race.
We believe that this is all 80; but we only did
in regard to Live Oak George what Cassidy
did in regard to Eoratio Seymour, who was
also rubbed down. currycombed, and trotted
back again. Jockeys must try their nags be-
fore they start in the race, and we rather
think our nag showed as good blood and pace
as Cassidy's did"

and adds

omission, which we beg leave to correct
