How SUDDEN THE EARTHQUAKE WAS.
"A writer describing the Mendoza Earth
quake says
1.-The town was all peace and activity
Customers were in the shops, loungers obout
the corners-a bright moon shone-when IN
five minutes the whole town was in heap,
or rather a series of heaps of ruins. The
cloud of dust from the fallen walls was so
dense that for half an hour the moon was in
visible, an intense darkness adding to the
confusion and dsmay of survivors. Ere long
the lurid light of burning buildings, or re-
mains of buildings, began to CLEAN. Some
persons who had been buried under the
walls, were still alive burning. On every
hand rose cries for help. Robbery then set
in. Shops and stores were scenes of unhin-
dered pillage. The earth at intervals was
still trembling. The savage unteeiing rob-
bers would rob, and then kneel in prayer,
crying in loud voices for mercy, and up and
at the work of depreciation once again. A
nun was takan out alive who had been under
the ruins eight days, but she did not survive,
such had been the shock to her system, and
ssach her exhaustion. A man was actually

The EXTRA SEssIoN.-The Washington
| correspondent of the Boston Journal, speak
ing Of the prospect of compromise at tie
coming session of Congress, says:
There is just about as much prospect of a
compromise between sin and holiness, vice
and virtue, devils and angels, as between the
Confederate rebels, traitors and thieves, and
the loyal people of this country through their
Representatives and Senators. Father Crit
tenden, Vallandigham, the Maryland and
Kentucky members, will doubtless have peace
propositions but say with emphasis that there
IS no disposition on the part of the President,
Cabinet, Senators and Representatives now
here, including Andrew johnson Of Tennes-

terms. Neither do the rebels desire IT, There
is no evidence here, 50 far as | can find after

ton could be had, if anywhere, that the
rebels have made peace propositions. They
are not ready for thatyet."

PENNSYLVANIA Rock OIL.-M. w.
Kelsey, Esq, a Rutland county boy, but for
many years past a resident of Pontiac, Mich,
is engaged in the oil business in Pennsylva-
MIA, and sends us, from Oil City, in that
State, several samples Of the oil procured
from the wells in that vicinity about which
so much has been said in the papers. The
specimens sent are as follows;
1st Oil in natural state-as taken from
the wells I'd. Naptha, used in place of tur-
pentine by painters, and by Druggists as
"Grease Extractor y Sd. Can of oil for
burning in common coal oil lamps; 4th. Oil
after being distilled but not finished and
ready for burning 9Th. Residuum or Lub-
ricating oil, which is the last oil taken out
of the still.
These small quantities will serve to give
one some idea of what the oil wells of Penn
sylvama are producing; and also an ink
ling of the effect these products must event
ualIy have on the oil trade of the country
The samples sent us are from the works OF the
"Niichigan Rock Oil Company" Oil Creek,
Pa, of which Mr., Kelsey is we believe, Su-
perintendent. There are, within seven miles
of these works nearly one thousand wells-not
all successfully worked but yet there are
hundreds that are.
The Michigan Company'8 works have
capacity for refining 40 barrels of crude oil
in IA hours The can OF refined oil sent by
Mr.. X is, he informs us, tair specimen of
the refined oil, though it can be made per-
fectly white but it is not SO coed for being
thoroughly bleached
These specimens OF the famous Pennsylva-
MIA Rock Oil will probably remain for a
time at our office, where they may be seen
by such Us appreciate hno'eledge Of what
our country is producing.

TIE EARTHQUAKE AT MENDozA.-A
Valparaiso letter in the New York CONNER
cial saws that Mr. David Forbes, an English
eeoogst, reports that the recent terrible
earthquake came from the Andes, according
TO his observations, having moved in a south
eastery line; and having had a definitely
marked track, within the limits Of which the
greatest disasters were caused, while out of
that track on either side but little harm, com
paratively speaking, was done. He states
that he traced it northeasterly for five or six
days, by the assures, upheaved rocks, &c,
As those regions are almost totally uninhab-
tied, the opportunity for making observations,
or even for knowing the damage done, is
very much lessened from what would be the
case in a settled and populous country
Forbes SAYS he could find no volcano that
had broken out. He says Medoza lay eX-
actly in the track, and so sustained the
heaviest violence Of the movement The
town will never be rebuilt on or near its for
per site. Not a house was left standing.

The New York Tribune's correspondent
gives the following account Of an interesting
scene in camp:
AT recent parade of the Wisconsin
regiment. a scene OF a solemn and deeply at
fectng nature occurred, which | have not
before noticed. After regimental parade,
the Colonel, Stark weather, commanded the
attention of his men, and addressed them on
the subject of the great cause which brought
them 80 far from home; and, appealing to
their courage and patriotism, asked if they
were ready to folIew him, All responded at
firmatively But to give full effect and for
NAL dignity to this resolution, he called for
the coiors of the regiment, and, waving the
Stars ard Stripes in the breeze, he kneeled
at its foot and offering up an invocation, IN
which the men were called upon to join, the
whole regiment knelt as one man and renew
ed their fealty to their flag. There were few
dry eyes that witnessed this affecting scene

FINANCIAL AFFAIRS IN THE SOUTH
If any new inducements were required to
consolidate our people around the flag, and
to prepare them cheerfully to bear the bur-
dens necessary to carry on the war, these
will be found in the melancholy moral politi-
cal and financial cordition of the Southern
States. BANKRUPTCY of the mos unparalleled
character is filling every community with
despair. The local holders of their bonds
are paid in worthless paper currency, while
those at a distance, even # sympathlziRg
with the secessionists, who have unfortunate
ly invested these securities, will receive nei-
Their principal nor interest. All their army
contractors are paid in Treasury Notes, and
notes OF interior banks that are not receiVa-
BILE by the banks in the Southern cities, and
are consequently refused by mechanics and
tradesmen. The miserable financial system
of these shameless traitors is conducted upon
the theory of compelling all banks TO redeem
their notes in coin whenever these notes find
their way into the traitors treasury. This
compelS the planters to insist upon the gold
and silver for their cotton, which they will
hoard up to the end of 'the war. The Mo-
bile Register, OF a late date, states that under
these scandalOus practices of the traitor lead
ers, more than four millions of specie has
been withdrawn from the city banks Of Ala
bama, and has been btried, to prevent it
falling into the hands of these men. Can
such a monstrosity live ?-Phjid. Press.

RG~ The Charleston Mercury of May
7th, acknowledges it was mistaken in the
opinion that there would be no war And
it confesses:
We have been mistaken in another mat
ter. We never believed that in SO senseless
crusade, Ex-President Pierce, and Ex-
President Buchanan, and Everett, and Viii
kins, and the hosts of other men who have
opposed the Abolitionists, and professed to
appreciate the rights of the South, could be
found pressing on the policy of the sword,
as the rightfuI instrument of our subiuga-
ton and determination. We thought that
the South had some friends at the North
some men of Justice and humanity-who
would shrink from the horrible criminality
of numbering an innocent people, and de-
stroying their country, because, after years
of patient endurance, they withdraw them
selves from a tyranny which they could not
but recognize. But this war has developed
the startling fact, that with all their pro-
fessions, the South has had no friends in
the North. The Northern people were mere
plunderers in peace; and now become mur-
derers in war.

A SINGULAR CoNFEssIoN.-That bitter
Secession sheet, the Richmond Examiner,
with remarkable candor, confesses that the
Virginians under arms against the Govern
ment find three things to disgust them !;
first, the hard life OF camp; secondly, the
bad quality of their victuals thirdly, the
consciousness that those who command
them are getting sick of Secession. Under
this third head it says:
But there is another and greater grief in
the hearts of our men, which the whole
State shares with them-that those are set
to inspect and rule over them who were
bitterly opposed to the act of Secession, and
who now abhor that just war which is one of
its inevitable consequences. What can be
hoped of leaders who believe in their hearts
that they are working treason and merit
