The Earthquake at Manila.
The following iron the Straits Times 0rer-
Iand Hail, is the only account we have recciv-
cd Of tho terrible earthquake at Manila, on
one Of the PHILIPPINE Islands, Of which we
have had brief mention before:
On the Sd Of June at halfpast seven o'clock
in the evening, q clrcumambient flame VAS
seen to arise from the Garth and gird the city
rife quakipg of the earth took place. It
lasted nearly minute, but In that short space
neatly the whole Of fair Manila las been re-
duced heap Of ruins. We believe that up.
ward Of thousand have been killed, and
many thousands wounded, but 1t Is imPosst-
bic to eaY or to estimate. Scarcely an cditlce
has escaped without dead or wounded. The
good priests, their cEorister and sac:istans,
and the faithful who were hearing the Eesperi
Of Corpus Christi, have nearly al been buried
and SUI. Gated under the ruins Of tie cathc
d1a1 ard other churches. The only church
that has escaped wholly is San AuguEtsn, the
same that xithstood the tremendous Shock
Of 1915, The palace, and nearly all the pub
liz ard private, as we'll as commercial cdidces,
hoye either been thrown down or shaken
from t)leir foundations. Thauk God! not 8
single FOREIGNER has been killed, but two, we
fear have Been seriously hurt, though no!
dangerously. The Rodsisues property, lei'
to ire British nation. and where the brltisi
Consulnc was, has been entirely destroyed
md is nothing but 1nass Of ruins. The citl
is deserted nearly for The ediees thseaien I
Before Isf lbs earthquake took place sulrhurou'
cicrs were perceived, rumbllng like the tir'
ordnance, a1d then like the approach Of a
| immense locomotive and train. The fam'
that surrounded the city ras seen from th
bay to ascecd toward the sky; and another.
triple snake one, came from the land over tn
least two or three feet; while Oh the shos

HOW TO OBTAIN PEACE

The shortest way to obtain Peace would un-
dou6tedly be for the rebels to lay down their
arms and submit to the maganimity of the
head democracy perhaps do not think that
mode constitutional, and hence submit other
projects. Mr.. Vallandigham, for instance,
who is a shining light among the Woodward
democracy of Pennsylvania. on the 14th OF
January, 1868, proposed to make peace as fol
lows:
s'Stop fighting. Make an armistice-no for
NAL treaty. Withdraw you army from the Sc
ceded States. Reduce both armies to fair
and sufficient peace establishment. Declare
absolute free. trade between the North and
South. Buy and sell. Agree upon a zol
vereiu. Recall your fleets. Break up your
blockade. Reduce your navy. Restore travel.
Open up railroads. Re, establish the telegraph.
Reuni;e your express companies No more
Monitors and Iron .clads but set your friendly
steamers and steamships again in motion.
Visit the North and west. Visit the South.
Exchange newspapers. Migrate. Intermar-
ry. Let Slavery alone. Hold elections at the
appointed times. Let choose new Presi-
ident in sixty four. And when the gospel of
peace shall have descended again from heaven
into their hearts, and the gospel of abolition
and of hate been expelled, let your clerg, and
the churches meet again Christian intercourse.
North and South. Let the secret orders and
voluntary associations everywhere reunite as
brethren once more. In short, give to all
the natural and all the artificial causes which
impel us together, .heir fullest sway
Such are the sentiments of Valandigham-
the man who is lauded as patriot and mar
tyr by the copperhead leaders-as recorded in
the Congressional proceedings, and published in
the ''Daily Globe of January 10Th 1868.
What American, with drop of patriotic blood
in his veins, will hold fellowship with party
leaders who bolster up such craven SPIRIT
Raftsman's journal. [volume] (Clearfield, Pa.) 1854-1948, 1863-09-23
AT THEIR OLD TRICKS

The Copperheads are at their old tricks
No sooner is the Presidents Proclamation an
nouncing the suspension OF the habeas CORPUS
in certain cases, issued, than they raise the
hue and cry that s'nqartial laW'' is proclaimed.
This they know is ia lse. But they presume
on the ignorance of their followers, and, no
doubt, in many instances they will be success
full in making them believe that such is the
fact-those persons not knowing the differ
ence between snsPemdimg the operations of a
civil writ in individual offences. and the es
tablishfng of military law over a section of the
country. Truly, these Copperheads have
strange way of showing their loyalty to the
Constitution, and to their country's cause.
Raftsman's journal. [volume] (Clearfield, Pa.) 1854-1948, 1863-09-23

Circle

es for the purpose of :'buying niggers.''
Every man who declares that the Conscrip-
Iion act is unconstitutional.
Every man who harbors constitutional
objections TO the means adopt ed By the Presi
dent for ending the rebellion.
All these will vote for George W. Wood
ward.
On the other hand, every truly loyal man,
be he Democrat or Repub lcan, who is earn
estly in favor of the perpetuity of the Union,
of the maintenance of the Constitution, and OF
the enforcement OF the Laws; who pays his
taxes cheerfully who tenders the right of
suffrages to our country's defenders who is
heartily opposed to treason and rebellion, and
desires nothing so much as to see our country
once more restored TO its original state of
prosperity and happiness-all these will vote
for CURTIN.

Raftsman's journal. [volume] (Clearfield, Pa.) 1854-1948, 1863-09-23
AnorHER coPpERHEAp scHEME

The most contemplate scheme yet con-
cocted or planned by the Copperheads is tl-at
which has for its object the assumption by
the United States of the rebel debt, if such 4
course would sufficiently conciliate the South
to induce her to return to allegiance. The
authors ar abcttors of this novel idea have
not as yet been sufficiently courageous boldly
to proclaim their desires designs hnt now
and then may be observed in the columns of
their organs, carefully worded remarks, lnten-
ded as feelers with which To bring out the
| views of their equally diSloysl cOtemporaries,
/ and the sentiments of that portion OF the COM
munity who swallow without nauseating re-
/ suits the doses offered for their acceptance by
/ their cunning journalists. 1t has always been
conceded that acopperhead could be guiety OF
! any miserable trick Subteriuge upon the
! calendar; but it was not supposed that their
/ craved spirits could induce them to suggest
or advocate such project as that to which we
refer. The war which for more than two and
| a ha II years has been devastating some OF the
most beautiful sections OF our country which
! has caused hundreds of thousands of our conn
! trymen TO pass premaiurely from their sphere
/ of usefulness, or walk our streets mutilated

CURTIN AND WOODWARD.

The friends of A. G. Curtin have reason for
rejoicing at the increasing prospect of his e.
lection by an overwhelming majority whilst the
followers of Geo. W. Woodward are becom-
ing more respondent. Our exchanges bring
us tidings almost daily, of new and important
accessons to the Union phalanx. One of the
most recent is Capt. Harry Foster, OF Centre
county, who is now in the army of the Poto-
mac, ,and is well acquainted with both the can
didates. Hear what he thinks of them. In a
recent letter to his friends in that county he
says:
81 firmly believe the elevation of Judge
Woodward to the Executive Chamber of
Pennsylvania at the present time would be the
most dire calamity that could befall our noble
old State, as we'll as the cause of the Union
| everywhere. Let the people OF
| Pennsy lvania, therefore, re-elect Andrew G
| Curtin, is my prayer"
| Such is the testimony of a Democrat from
Miles township. Centre county, and one whose
fealty to his party has never been questioned
and who has always stood high with the Dem
ocratic leaders. With such evidence against
the election of Geo. W Woodward, and in ia.
vor of A. G.. Curtin, and the Union cause can
any intelligent man longer hesitate for which
of the two candidates for Governor he should
cast his vote on the Second Tuesday of Oeto.
Der next? Surely not.
