us that " at about half-past four O'Clock Sun
day morning we had shock OF an earthquake,
so strong that it shook the houses to such an
extent that it caused windows, doors, furniture,

from Southeast to Northwest, and its effects

SKETCH or AFFAIRS IN THE REBEL EMPIRE
An observant and highly intelligent correspond
ent, who has recently spent some weeks at
Richmond and travelled thence through Vir-
ginia, Tennessee and Kentucky, has furnished
us with most interesting sketch of what he
has seen. and heard, and gathered on his tour
His description of the condition of the Union
soldiers imprisoned in the tobacco warehouses
at Richmond will elicit the sympathy Of this
whole community, and lead, let us hope, to some
action by our government tending toward their
restoration to freedom. He gives some valua-
BILE information sshtent the strength, disposition,
equipment and supplies of the rebel army;
the universal war feeling in the section through
which he travelled; the camps of instruction
at Richmond and the preparations for winterng
the rebel army there; the Notifications and
transports Oh the Mississippi, and the cannon
foundries, powder mills and manufactures of
arms and equipments in the South. His COM
munication is free from the bias of all precon-
ceived notions or ideas, but is plain, unvar-
nished statement Of the condition Of things in
Richmond and in the South generally. We
deem 1t unnecessary to call more particular at
tention to it, feeling assured that its contents
will command the attention alike Of the people
and the government.

Since Saturday last, when we published an
account Of the bombardment of Beaufort,
through flag of truce from Norfolk to Fortress
Monroe we have received no account whatever
of that event from the feet itself much less OF
the results which are said to have followed
from it, But from rebel authority the most en-
couraging reports of the expedition have
| reached us, and we are bound to give some
credit for veracity to those who admit their
own defeat. From their flags of truce from the
| Geographic dispatches in their own news
papers, and from the news circulated every
where through the South, there can be little
doubt of the success of this great naval enter
prise. Deserters have brought the intelli-
gence, and it has come to us in so many shapes
and from so many quarters, Independent of
each other, and all Of them rebel sources, that
it would be absurd to reject the evidence.
It may be asked why we have not official news
from the fleet itself, any sort of direct intell-
gence from it. The answer is that the expedition
was considerably scattered by the storm, that it
required time for subsequent rendezvous that
the attack only commenced. on Thursday last,
and there is scarcely time yet to report the re-
suit. The despatch boats which were detailed
10 convey intelligence to the government were
wrecked or disabled, and it is probable that
vessel of war could not be spared for such
mission till the occupation of Beaufort was rem
dered secure. 1t must be recolIected, too. that
the telegraph in South Carolina is in the hands
Of the rebels, and that the news could only
come from the fleet by steamer TO Fortress Mon
roe or Annapolis. On the contrary the South
Carolinians could send the news instantaneous
whole Southern States
That this important news has produced its
effect at the South is very evident. Davis
Beauregard and a number of rebel troops
from the army of the Potomac have been re-
ported as moving in the direction of the point
attacked. General CONSERVATION prevails. The
fact that Notwithstanding the severity Of the
tempest, and that probably some twenty
vessels, some Of them shoddy vessels, foisted
ON the government by spectators and
regulators, have persisted or been dis
abled, the feet has effected successful
landing, and the Union flag waves over Beau
fort and the whole island Of Port ROYAL. au-
ours we'll for the naval campaign so auspi-
ciously begun. The rumor that the disem-
barked forces were marching on Charles

improbable. 1t was no part of the programme
and il would be folly to make en- sdysn0e either

upon Charleston or Savannah with so small
force. though it is not impossible that ieint
was made on Charleston by portion Of the
feet, in order TO divert attention from the
real object of attack and to divide
the fire and distract the forces of the
enemy The troops landed at Beaufort
will fortify their position, and having
obtained reinforcements, will make it starting
point against the heart of the rebellion at
another day. Beaufort will become a cotton
port situated as IL is in the midst of the Sea
Island cotton district, and the Union men
of the South will be glad to send ship
ments there when they are liberated
from the thraldom Of the insurgent chiefs.
Nor is this the only naval expedition against
the rebel States. There are two or three others
now being fitted out which will be equally
successful, and in the course Of six weeks or
two months, one hundred thousand men will
occupy all the important points on the coast;
not, perhaps, to make an advance into the inte-
rior just now, but as safe bases for future ope-
rations, and as outlets for the produce Of the
Southern loyalists and the interchange Of
Northern commodities. With Fortress Monroe,
IIatteras, Beaufort, Pensacola, Key West, and
the other places to be seized and occupied, in
possession Of the federal army and navy, the
rebels will be surrounded by a Gordon Of mill
tary posts which will not only completely cut
off their external communication, but threaten
SO many vital points at the same time
that their grand army will be broken up
into fragments and rendered powerless without
a blow; and then the time will have come for a
forward movement upon Richmond and the
other capitals of the rebcllous States.
Thus, with the arrangements just made
by the government to permit Northern mer-
chants to trade under special license with the
Union men of the South, through the ports held
by our arms, with the appointment Of such
generals as Buell. to Kentucky and Halleck to
| Missouri and the West, and with the skill and
energy Of Mcclellan pervading and animating
the whole army, the era of blunders shall have
| ceased, and new epoch shall have dawned
| upon the canse of the Union, opening bright
and glorious page in the history of the re
| public.
