7atai dcstructionJy Earthquake Of Mc city Of Men
do'a, in The argentine ubhc-Neariy Is. .00(
Lines Lost-Reportei Destruction of fuo ottc,
cHies-FrihyM Scenes, &C., DC.
VALPARAISO, April 3.--With feelings O
deep regret have to announce to you the ut
ter destruction OF the city OF Mendoza, in the
Argentine Republic, by an earthquake, on the
evening of tho Goth of March last. At that
date, at hall past eight p. NJ, n slight but
prolonged vibration of the earth was felt in
this city and in Santiago simultaneously.-
Most Of the churches were densely filed il
being near the close of Lent and some alarm
and confusion was created but no serious ac
cidents occurred, and tranquility was soon
re stored
On Sunday, the eth, however, a general
gloom was cast over tho city by the announce
mont by telegraph from tho capitol that Be-
nigno Bruno, the mail rider, had arrived from
Mendoza that morning without mail, bring
ing tho distressing news that there remained
but heap of ruins TO point the spot where,
a few days before, had stood thriving and
populous city of $4,000 souls.
Bruno stated that he arrived at Mendoza on
the morning of the 10th; that ut half past
eight p. m. Il brief but excessively violent
shock of an earthquake, lasting but six or
eight seconds, destroyed every building, pub.
lie aud private, in tho city, aud that the num-
Der who were enabled to escape was very
limited. The streets being narrow, the bull
dings high, and the inhabitants, totally un-
used to such phenomena, were porayzed
with terror, and neglected to seek refuge in
the opcn courts OF their dwellings until too
late. Tho Postmaster was buried beneath
the ruins of the Post Office, the Governor
was missing, and when he was asked why he
brought no certificate that the mails were lost
tho messenger replied, "ThcIe was no ono
left to write il, nor materials to write with"
The aspect presented by the city after the
first shock was terrific. lloarso snbterranean
thundorS deaiened the air, animals Of all kinds
rushed rantically through the open spaces
bowling, the earth opened and vomited forth
Hoods OF water, while to crown the scene of
horrors flames burst from the ruins and oon.
snmed nearly the entire business portion of
the city, with its dead, its dying and its
wounded. 'rN
GIN the 10th n number of letters were re-
ceivcd here and at Santiago by relatives and
IF ends OF Chiliaus residing in Mendoza, but
the hope until then entertained that the ear.
i'er accounts were cxaggerstodi soon gave
way to the most dreadful certainty that the
calamity had not been painted in colors suf
hclently vivid. The earth still continued to
tremble, the few walls that had resisted he
hrst shock, one by one by fell, until now no
vestige Of a building remains.

TIE MOTTO or THE NATIONAL DE-
MnIniEY.
difficulties OF Privntccring.

Ono great difficulty the Southern Conrcdcracy
IN fad in carrying outfits policy of Issuing letters
- mlrque and rcprisnl, will be in the fact that
Natecring is no longer considered legitimate
= lie Of warfare by Ia ge portion Of the civilized
overs. Some of them have absolutely refused
- acknowledge it as permissible in war. With
such powers privateering is on par with pi y
The United States, however, acknowledge it a'
legitimate, and cannot therefore, punish thos,
engaged in it as pirates. The parties engaged in i
may, if taken, be t eatcd as traitors, and we ap
p ehend that, while the punishment for the guilty
IL convicted of treason, docs not differ much from
that which would follow conviction of piracy, lei
ther being DEATH the culprt viii not dispute mucl
about the character Of the conn laDt.
The chief difficulty will be to find ports int,
which to take prizes after they arc captured. Eve
~ Southern port will be closely blockaded, which
will make it exceedingly difficult to get aprize into
one. The privatccrs will hardly dare to take then
cnptures into foreign ports, because no foreigt
power has acknowledged the Independence of thu
Southern Confederaey.

swindliug Operations.

II does seem to US that the managers of our
State Government are determined to take the hide
clean of the tax payers. Motto advert to former
axtravagance, or to the questionable policy o
keeping a Standing army of 1890 men, IN th,
State, we have enough to show their reckless dis
regard of the interests of the people. They have
rented a farm of 500 acres, for Camp Dennis n
twenty miles from Cincinnati, near Hamilton nj
twenty dollars nn acre per aDnuin. Bot worse thar
this is iho allowance made to the contractors for
furnishing the volunteers with ratious. The ration:
in the United States army are commutcd at thirty
cents per day for each soldier, but our State oni
oals pay sixty cents day for each OF the 1860
III the service Of the State. 1t is said the mis-
cradle food dealt out does net cost the contractors
fifteen cents day. The number, as above sta
ted, is l3 26O, which leaves the contractors a net
profit Of S5,937 per day If this Is not swindling,
then, we confess that we do not understand the
term
1t il said that the food furnished is not fit for
man, and scarscy fit for dog, to eat The vol.
nnteers brave and patriotic; they are deserving
Of and should receive, good treatment and as good
"grub" as circumstances will admit. Neither
they nor the state should be swindcd but when
II has come TO swindling both it is time for
something to be done. ....
Since the above was put in type we learn that
a new contract has been made at thirteen cents
per day.

We protest against the disposition man,
ifested at all public gatherings by a certain
class OF speakers, who invariably make
themselves consl icuous to cram republic
aniSm down the throats of all the people
We have nnhesitatingly signifed our de,
termination to stand by and support the
government in its present emergencies, =
The democracy of the North are united in
the same determination. The democratic
party are not willing to see the flag Of
the union trailing in the dust. But in thus
standing by and protecting that flag, we
by no means. nor does the democratic
party, approve Of the Administration of
Mr.. Lincoln nor DO we or they consider for
a moment that this warts without cause ON
their part. We simply suspend inquiry,
during the pendency of danger, into the
policy that has been pursued, upon the fre-
quently avowed principle that, right or
wrong, the government is to be maintain
ed. This being the disposition of the dem
ocratie masses, who constitute large pro-
portion Of volunteers now enrolling their
names for the defense ofthe national flag
and who largely compose the gatherings
that are held daily, how discourteous il
is, to use no stronger term, for republican
speakers to drag into their remarks, as
they invariably do, studied and elaborate
arguments in defense ofthe policy that has
been pursued by the administration.--
Again we say we protest against it. The
democratic party does not endorse the ad
of Abraham Lincoln more
now than formerly.--Dstroa Free Press.

The boys are all well and in fine spirits They
all seem to enjoy themselves. There is plenty ol
all kinds Of fun. In pleasant weather we have
dancing, singing and all kinds of athletic games
There Is not n moment in the day but what there
is some excitement First there is al "Old Bob
Ridly" dance; this over crowd starts for some
other part of the camp where they are having a
cottillion, or some witty fellow Is making stump
speech. But no matter where the crowd is OF
how large it is, we can soon drum it to our quar-
ters by starting Happy Jack to going, He takes
them al. down. Among the excitement and fun,
you find here and there, cucherc and old sedge
parties, playing on the grass, groups around the
camp fires smoking pipes and scgars; Others with
boards on their laps writing to their friends, and
now and then an odkcer, in the gay plumage of
war, passing with hurried strides to give orders
We have various ways of getting out of camp.
Some times the Captain or Iieutcn mt passt S
us over, and some break the guard at the risk of
being put in the Guardhousc. But we have a
sharper trick than that. We get up squad of
men, have one to act as Captain, go to the main
gate where we give the officers salute and pass
out. Once out we break ranks and proceed to
visit the various "Institutons," such as eating
houses, etc.
To-day we marched to church and returned to
pnrtakc of the good things sent to us by the kind
hearted and good looking ladies of Millcrsburg.
The BOYS will never forget their kindness
They will ever find the McNulty Guards in the
front ranks of their friends and defenders. May
God bless them all is our prayer.
There seems to he some dissatisfaction among
few of our boys at the prospect of being mus
tered in the service for six months Their excuse
is that they promised some person that they
would not enlist for more than three months. I
hope that there is not mother father, wife, broth
er or sister. that will permit their loved ones to
disgrace themselves and theft families by deserting
their company, and their country, in the hour of
its peril All of you who have such promises
from your volunteer friends, pray, in the name
of God, Of freedom and constitutional liberty,
for which we are all ready to die, to give them
their liberty, not only for six months, but as long
as the Union and the Stars and Stripes are in dan
ger. For Gods sake never, never induce them to
desert that good old flag.
