Lord, when st. Mark shall raise Him, and St.
John shall assist at His ascension, the end Of
the world shall come. In the year OF 1886, it

.Hr Editor;
On Thursday last | went with Mr..
Nelson Newell to visit the place on his farm
where this singular occurrence took place on the
10th inst 1t is about half mile southeast Of
Shelburne village. The whole surface Of the
ground, partly pasture and partly covered with
forest trees, for about 25 by 40 rods in diameter,
which was before quite uneven. seems to have
moved 20 or 80 feet by the action Of some invis-
ible agency lying beneath. In some places the
earth has sunk 20 or 80 ieet and in others it has
risen much higher than before. Flags which
were growing in low places, are now on an ele-
walton Of 10 feet or more above their former beds
Trees from II to Is inches in diameter have been
thrown up several feet; others have slid from
mbankments and removed 80 feet-some Of them
still standing upright and are doing well, others
leaning in various directions; some are split bv
the strain on their roots; others are broken off
A ndge of earth 80 feet high and Of about the
same width, with steep sides, was split length
wise almost perpendicularly, and portion Of it
carried of, with the large trees on it, leaving
others standing on the cliff of the other part.
The bed Of the stream called River La Plotte. is
raised in place 10 feet from its former depth.
A pile Of hundreds of tons of blue clay was thus
thrown up, and was found covered with eels and
other kinds of fish, and the stream was turned out
Of its former channel. The surface of the ground
is broken, and cracks appear in the earth from
few inches to some feet in width and several feet
in depth-and the whole gives a faint idea Of a
tropical earthquake. This movement was doubt |
less accomplished in few moments. variou.
spcculations are INDUCED as to its cause. 1t is
attributed to springs of water operating on quick
sand; to caves, and to subterraneous atmospher- |
&c pressure;-and affords opportunity for the
of the curious and speculative as well
as the scientif'. VIVA

ITEMS OF THE SIEGE.-0n Thursday night
last, about ten O'Clock, while Ensign Porter
was officer of the deck, he discovered what
he supposed to be one of the Monitors NOV
ing rapidly down the channel, and towards
his ship, the New lronsides. lie watched it
closely as it neared him, and soon saw
enough to excite his suspicious that all was
not right. When she had come to within
speaking distance he hailed her and asked
what vessel it was. The reply came, Z" Ay,
ay, sir; all right" As this was not the
proper answer to be given by any of our YES
sells he hailed again. The next answer was,
A live Yankee, from Port Royal" He
was then satisfied that she was a rebel vessel,
and be called all hands to quarters. The
strange vessel continued to move toward the
Ironsides, and attempted to cross her bows
or explode torpedo against her sides. But
she failed in the latter attempt, and. only
succeeded in getting foul Of the frigate's
ram, which stopped her for a moment. She
finally got of and started rapidly towards
Fort Moultrie. Several guns were fired from
the frigate at her but it was thought none
struck the audacious vessel, and she went of
flying.

The True FEELING OF THE SoU1H The
Cincinnati Commercial publishes a letter
from well known citizen Of Georgia who
recently left that state and is now within our
lines, which embodics some instructive facts
We quote
The true feeling of the South is this The
property holders of lands and slaves control the
masses, and they will hold in the army, at all
hazards, the poor-feeling they must lose every
thing in case of failure. Many of them wouli
gladly go back to the old Union, however, were
this fear not entertained, and the men, the poor
men, the men gulled and abused by Yancey
Toombs, Rhett, and the infamous Howell Cobb,
would 90 home at any time if they could
" But how are they to doit, If they leave
the army, and remain in the southern lines. they
will be shot for desertion and if they come to
the North their families must suffer. They have
now to pay, in Confederate money, 81 80 per
pound for bacon, and the same price per dozen
for spun thread, and shoes are played out
One-third Of the SoutheTRerS are to-day Union
men, and Rerer icere in fauor Of REBELLION
but the bayonet has done for them what it will
do for the whole land, unless it is guarded

VERMONT ELECTION.

We Judge from somewhat hasty compar-
ison of the returns received, comprising
about one quarter Of the State, that the Tn
ion State ticket is elected by vote not fall
ing much short Of three to one for the Uppo-
sition ticket. The total vote viii, we think,
be a little larger than that of last wear; be-
vond that VIC have made no comparison with
last years fsurce, as tho Peace Democracy
were substantially without organization last
year and probably for the most part stayed
away from the polls. Comparing with the
vote Of the same towns in 1860, W. judsc
that the total vote will show lallin. 81 "l
from six to eight thousand, to H. accounted
for mainly by the ab-cncc Of voter IN the
army. The Opposition vote this year will
probably not fall short of 10000, against
1900 Democratic vote in 1850. The vote
for Smith will approach 10000; Fairbanks
$4,000 in 1850. Smiths majority, We think
will be from 10000 to $1,000. which will be
DONG pretty well, under the circumstances.
