me Earthquake at Mendoza.

A Valparaiso letter of May LIST, in the New
York Commercial, says:
An the accounts received from Mendoza 60
beyond the statements ut first made concerning
that hted town. Every letter that comes giving
details shows the horror of the calamity to be
more and more complete Rum, desolation and
death characterize the scene. At the most mod
crate calculation it is now judged that ten thou
sand lives have been lost The town was all
peace and activity. Customers were in the
shops visitors in the parlors, loungers about
the corners-a bright moon shone-whon in five
seconds the whole town was in heap, or rather
u series Of heaps of ruins. The cloud of dust
from the fallen walls was so dense that for half
all hour the moon was invisible, an intense
darkness adding to the confusion and dismay of
survivors.
Ere long the lurid light Of burning buildings,
or remains of buildings, began to CLEAN. Three
different shops took fire from the lamps Some
persons who had been buried under the walls,
but were still alive, were burned. On every
hand rose cries for help. But those buried I'M
der the ruins were actually more in number
than the survivors. Few remained to render
aid fewer still were disposed to render it. 1t
is said that some were 50 terrified as to 90 away
from the town by the ranting of Jesuit, that
the world was coming ut once to an end, and the
day OF Judgment was at hand The supersti.
tious prophet told the people the earth would
shortly sink under them, and they left the vi
cinity.
Robbery then set in. The shops and houses
were scenes of unhindered pillage. The earth
at intervals was still trembling. The savage
robbers would rob, aad then kneel in prayer
crying in a loud voice for mercy, and up and at
the work Of depreciation once again. All the
time cries for assistance were assaing their ear'
on every hand here woman voice, there the
feeble cry of an old man, but all in vain. They
would not hear,
From the town of San Juan two hundred sol
diers came with spades and picks, but the Gov
ernor of Mendoza actually forbade their entering
the town Troops from Mendoza had attacked
San Juan recently, and he affected to fear tina
they had come for vengeance. It is currently
thought many lives might have been saved hac
proper excavations been made ut once.
One man who, at the time Of the shock, wa,
away from his home, returning after few days
found his children uninjured beneath the bed
stead, that is to say without scar or bruse, but
lifeless, probably from suIfocation.

The Morgan Guards.
Secretary Of War.

This Company, recruited in Lamoille County
by Col 5. Morgan, was filled to OVERLOOKING in
less than the six days allowed by aw, and are,
in fact the finest looking lot of Boys yet co.
rolled in the Green Mountain State. Their ay-
eragc weight is los lbs. per man, and the aver
age height, feet, 10 II inches They were
Inspected by Gen. Hopkins on the oath ult., and
commenced drill on the 9th, under the instruc-
ton of Capt. Davenport, late OF the G, NJ Ran
gers, and Capt. Gleed of Richmond, and have
made good progress. The Company being over
full, several have been transferred to st. Adams,
to fill the Company forming there As to tie
Officers, they will speak for themselves on tho
first opportunity, and the Boys will be ready 10
respond.
Capt Blanchard is both gentleman and a
scholar, and has the confidence of the entire
Company. They will make their mark, for
every man has the ring of the true metal. No
wavering, lukewarm, half in earnest milk and
water feeling, but an earnest and an unwav.
ering devotion to the cause of the Union and
the rights of man, are the predominant charac-
teristics of the Company The honor of the
4" Star Spangled Banner " will be sale in the
keeping oil such men. An OUTSIDER.

Baltimore.

The Mob City evidently needs more punish
ing. The late accounts again place her in a
very questionable attitude. The hools and
horns of Secession are every day sticking out
more and more palpably to view. All the
Union members of the city police have been re-
moved, or in some way got rid of by the
plotting traitors that are suffered to remain
and rule there unhung Since the withdrawal
of the chief part of our forces from the city,
these yet unhumbled traitors have grown as
tonishingly impudent, and almost daily insult
the troops yet stationed in the vicinity. Near
ly or quite all the Union Flags that, after their
fright ard submission, were raised in every part
of the city, have, it is said, been covertly re.
moved while Marshal Kane has been heard to
boast that the authorities at Washington dare
not now arrest him, as in case of such an at
tempt, he would raise q secession force in the
city and vicinity which would drive every
Union man. troops and all, from the place.
There is an old storm of wrath laid by in
store for Baltimore, and let her beware how
much farther she ventures in the course her con-
duct is now indicating, lest no consideration OF
our abused forbearanco and mercy will be suiii-
cient to prevent it from bursting in fury and
desolation on her devoted head.

Stephen A, Douglas.

Stephen A. Douglas, -the man who Tor the
last dozen years has occupied larger space in
the public mind probably, than any statesman
now liylng-Stephen A. Douglas is no Ia
1t is with difficulty that we can
death. As of yesterday he stood up
Nation, as u tower of strength in all
of his vigorous manhood and in all the
dor Of his magnificent ntellect-the observed OF
all observers, the great light Of his party, and,
in despite all party biascs, really the pride Of
our whole people. To-day he lies low in the
dust, to be thought Of only as among the great
things that were, but are to be no moro on
earth forever.
Since the commencement Of the present Ma
tional difficulties, Senator Douglas has endear-
ed himself to the whole people of the North by
his noble stand for the Constitution and the
Union, and all the more so, as that stand in
yolved the rare magnanimity of lending a
hearty and efficient support to the Admlnistra-
ton of rival and successful candidate for the
Presidency, and even an Incorporating polit'
zeal opponent. And there is not, probably,
now a man in the entire North, but looks on
his loss, at this crisis, as National calamity
Stephen A. Douglas was born in Brandon
VT, in the year 1913, but, with no other adj
vantages than what good common school edu-
cation afforded, went West, taught school,
studied law, and soon became 50 successful an
advocate as to attract general attention in the
land of his adoption, and lead to an invitation
for him to enter the political arena. And here,
poor, unfriendcd, with no family influence and
no name to give him prestige, he fought his
way up through hosts Of influential and talent
ed opponents, as no young man, perhaps, ever
fought before, till he had successfully filed the
Offices Of Assembly-man, Register of Land
Office, States Attorney-General, Secretary OF
State, Judge Of the Supreme Court, Member OF
Congress, and finally United States Senator,
which last crowning position he reached at the
very unusually early age of thirty-fye lie
has been three times a candidate for the Presi-
dency, and but for Southern intrigues and
meanness four years ago, would have doubtless
been nominated and elected to honor the high
place that Buchanan disgraced.
Asa statesman, Mr. Douglas was cear-headed
sagacious, and of an enlarged scope of politica
vision Spriugng from the people, and Away
of them, he was their true friend and the abb
and intrepid champion of all their rights AM
interests. As a ready, prompt, pungent an
powerful debater, he had, perhaps, at the tim
Of his death, mo equal -
HIS views, feelings, and cvaryfhi1s "Sous hfm
were peculiarly American, and he ever stoo
ready to do battle for every American right an
interest.
With these qualities of head and heart, h
raised up for himself a host of such friends a
no man since the days of Andrew Jackson eve
had before and well may they all mourn now
and well may the whole nation join them in dt
p(oring his cary exit

Topography of the Seat of War.

The Washington correspondent Of the New
York Post thus describes the topography be-
tween the Potomac River and Manassas Gap
junction, which seems destined to become the
theatre OF important military events
Sc From the Chain Bridge, which is three
miles above Georgetown to Alexandria, dis
lance of about ten miles-there is a continuous
chain Of bills half a mile to a mile and a half
back from the Potomac Entertainments arc
thrown up quite distance north Of Georgetown
across the river, and so Mt different points be-
low to Alexandria. The Chain Bridge, Aque-
duet, and especially the Long Bridge are very
strongly guarded, and every prominent hill IS,
or soon will be extended.
Arlington flights are right opposite George
town, nearly two miles back from the river.
Reaches Spring which is frequently spoken of
is about two miles distant, southwest OF the
Long Bridge, little off from the road to Fair
fax Court House. Arlington House is about
five miles north or northeast of Alexandria.
Falls Church is little northern village SIX
miles straight west Of Georgetown. Bailey's
Cross Roads is five miles due west OF tbs Long
Bridge, and the road from the bridge, which
leads directly past BaiIey's, is the road to
Fairfax Court House The last named place
is eighteen miles from Washington and four
teen from Alexandria This was.tle scene of
Lieutenant Tompkfns' exploit last Friday NOR
, ming and lac was then about thirteen miles
distant from the main body Of the rebel regi-
ments are stationed
From the Potomac 10 the heights, west, the
ascent is somewhat abrupt but from the
heights westward it is very gradual At least
ten miles of the Loudon and Hampshire Rail.
; road is within our lines but the Orange and
Alexandra road is none Of it in our possession.
: Our troops tore up the track to Springfield
; station, nine miles distant from Alexandria.
Beyond this point the road is in good condition,
: and it is reported that the trains occasionally
even run from the junction as far as Springfield
station
