GREENWOOD, Aug. 81, lS6l.-1h'. Editor: l write
you a hurried notice of one of the most severe and
remarkable shocks of an earthquake that has ever
been felt in this usually quiet portion of the world
The shock came about 5 o'clock this morning
causing an agitation and rattling among chairs,
windows, and the contents of old lumber rooms,
that aroused and set the poultry to cackling, and
turned from their snug couches whole village OF
late slumberers.
As far as could Judge, the vibration lasted some
four five seconds, and ran east and west, with Il
long, clear, waVe-ke swell.
On inquiry I find that the construction OF houses
has great deal to do with the different effects felt
and reported of the shock. Those built upon high
UNDERMINING were most agitated and shaken up.
In my own house, built with brick basement
some three feet below the surface of the ground,
we felt the shock and vibration alarmingly, but
there was no rafting of windows or furniture.
The wind appeared to be at a dead cam the sky
towards sunrise quite red, and obscured by
clouds. Truly, we live in the midst of grea
events. J. H. l..
The same shock was experienced at Knoxville
and probably in other parts of East Tennessee.

AnObstacle Removed.

The Cincinnati Gazette saysOne grand
obstacle in the way of recruiting for the
volunteer service has been removed by the
following section of an act passed by Con
gress on the 22d of July last. A great
many men have refused to enlist because
they could not leave their families provi-
ded for, but now that their wives can draw
their allowance from the Volunteer fund.
this difficulty no longer presents itself:
That The Secretary of War be, and is
hereby authorized and directed to introduce
among the volunteer forces in the service
of the United States, the system of allot'
meut tickets now used in the navy, OF some
equivalent system, by which the family of
the volunteer may draw such portions Of
his pay as he may request.
This has been sent to the officers of the
United States army in command, among
the general orders recently issued from the
headquarters of the army. We hope ii
will be extensively published through the
country.

Late from Memphis, Tenn.

We have Just had an interview with
gentleman who has recently "got out U
the wilderness" having resided in Western
Tennessee for some years past.
No more volunteers can now be had il
Tennessee, and the authorities have already
made preparations for the drafting o
troops.
At Memphis business of ali kinds i
suspended, excepting that pertaining to ar
my supplies, transportation of troops and
war munitions. Regular t:ade upon the
river TO the South is kept up to limited
extent, the principal down cargoes being
flour, ground by the Memphis Steam Mills
The Western Foundry, at Memphis, is
turning out very inferior quality of iron
six Founders fer light batteries, and the
cannon balls cast there are very uneven and
irregular. ---- ..e Z.I'e-2
The chain story of Gen. Pillow is true
in its every particular; in fact, his entire
system of detences of Memphis were riji-
culed and made the by-word, until Council
voted to remove the distractions to the
streets of the city, and Pillows cotton
bale barlicades and forts vanished. They
are badly off for officers in the Valley of
the Mississippi, and military matters are
pretty thoroughly mixed. Maj. Gen. Polk
has very little weights all fuss and gas
land people are very tired of his presence.
The stocks of goods are very low, as may
be supposed, throughout the entire South.
They will soon be badly off for boots and
shoes. Drug stocks are particularly bro
ken, and the very item Of sailor the
want of it, rather-is likely to put them to
their trumps.
1t has been prohibited by law to kill any
SOW pig in the South this season, looking
10 the production of their own pork to feed
the negroes upon the coming season-but
without salt, they cannot keep the pork
week after they have killed their pigs, and
what to do they do not know. Salt can
not be smuggled in any quantity in trunks,
as quinine or percussion caps, but big ships
must log along aud run the blockade in
order to be of any benefit. If the block
ade be perfected, they will suffer beyond en-
durance for salt alone.
Money is plenty in Tennessee; the State
pays, the first of each month, as soon as
the accounts are audited, bills for transpor
tation and subsistence of troops of the
previous month. The means of raising
money from banks and bankers is some
what in keeping with tho teaching and
practices of the Rebel Chief
A party wanting money takes Confeder-
ate bonds into bankers, and quietly asks
for the amount of money he wants, gener
ally very close on to the face of the bonds
and the banker smiliagly forks
orer, as he would be no friend to the
South if he did not, ard not only would
his shop be spotted and himself placed uu-
der the ban, but in Beauregard's classic
language, ''constraint might be used" TO
get the money.
About two thousand five hundred men
rom the North left Memphis at the out
breaking of the troubles, and as they made
up the active portion of the business com
munity, the city is flat enough.-PAila.

Position of Kentucky.

There is every evidence of an approach
ing storm in Kentucky which will rend
neutrality with the thunder of war. The
secessionists are about to spring the mine
they have been laying for months. They
have followed outrage upon outrage, until
emboldened by the readiness of the Union
men to su bmit TO them for the sake oi
peace, they have commenced the seizure Of
arms sent by the Federal Government for
the loyal forces in camp. The Secession
lists have announced that Union men of
Kentucky shall not receive arms from the
Goverument-that Kentuckians shall not
rally under the flag of their country upon
their own soil, for their seifdefense. In
and appeal TO the Union men, the Louis
vile Jonrnal of the 23d says:
Fiends and devils in human shape are
plotting your ruin and subjugation. They
are laying their plans to have Confederate
soldiers in the employ of King JEFF. Davis
introduced into this State. Awake!-
Arouss! and prepare to meet the invader.

Important Arrest of Spies.

The new leaf turned over by the Feder.
al authorities in regard to traitors and
spies, shows how plentifully they have
been circulating in the North. During
last week dozen or more were arrested,
and very properly consigned to prison
On Thursday evening three spies were
caught at Harrisburg, direct from Secessia,
upon whose persons about $4,000 were
found, and drafts 10 the amount of $780,
900, most of which were dated at Rich
mond, Va. They gave their names as
Thomas ]. Carson, Walter w. Kelley, and
William NJ. Pegram, and represented them
selves as citizens of Baltimore. Import
ant passes were found on their persons or
in their baggage, aud it appeared that the
prisoners had smuggled themselves through
our lines above Williamsport, Nd, and
then took the train at Chambersburg. The
examination of Kelley resulted in finding
an array Of false pockets in his shirt, con-
tanning drafts on New York to the amount
of 100000. They were sewed in and
ifoned out so as to give the garment a
close fit. A number of reasonable letters
were also found. The Press says:
All the letters were taken possession of
by the Mayor, and the circumstances being
deemed sufficient 10 delain the men in
custody, they were put in the county pris-
on for further hearing:
- The mef were evidently in the North to
get specie and arms. TRey will, probably,
be handed over to the military authorities
as spies, when they will fare by the militia
ry laws prescribed in such cases. -

paper, is one of the yilest secession sheets
in the North. 1t has been scattered broad
cast through the country without money
and without price to those who would read
it, the cost being paid from a Southern
fund devoted to stirring mp sedition.
Fewsboys On railroads and in cities have
obtained bundles of the News for a song
and large packages have been regularly
sent for distribution in the South. We are
glad to see that the circulation of the News
has been stopped in the Eastern cars, and
that the Marshal Of Philadelphia has seized
the entire edition sent by Express through
that city directed to Washington, various
points in Maryland, Virginia and Others

taking possession of its type, paper and ap-
purtenances. The New School Presbyter-
