Gambling in Old Virginia has receiv
ed heavy blow. There were thirty
odd faro banks in Richmond, which
swallowed up immense sums of Govern
ment pluuder every night, and the En-
quirer charges them with keeping up
to an enormous height the prices of all
articles of consumption by sending
over s 900 each, per day, to the mar
ket. Getting money so easily, they
spent it with most lavish hand. The
Legislature has ordered thirty nine
lashes, to be well laid on at the public
whipping post, for gambling, and the
result is that they have left Richmond,
and will probably be compelled to leave
the State, or live in more honest way,

Personal Experience of an Earth
quake.

Personal Experience of an Earth
quake. p.
The following extract from a private
letter, from Manila gives the writer's
personal experience and sensations du.
ring the late terrific earthquake which
visited that city:
1t would be impossible to give you
an idea of the late earthquake, for
though have read the accounts Of many
severe ones, never could realize the
position until | had felt one, and
never knew what dreadful destruction
it could make until the 81 Of this month.
| have heard nothing talked about but
earthquakes for the past ten days, ev-
erybody telling their experience and
giving their idea of causes and effects of
earthquakes in general
My experience was that had finish
ed my soup, and was helping my self to
fish, when three or four tremendous up
and down bumps came. l ran for the
azotea (piazza covered with iron roo6ng)
Then the fearful swinging motion from
north to south. l clung to the post
(wooden, which supports the iron roof
to keep myself from falling, expecting
every moment that the stone. walls which
supported the azotea would give way,
and that I should be thrown into the
river with the house on top Of me. The
whole shock did not last over half
minute, but it was an eternity to me.
The falling of stone houses and tile roofs
was terrific; part of our roof (weighing
70 tons) fell in. About 800 feet from
where l was the tower of Benondi
church fell through the roof of the
church; this tower was $50 to 200 feet
high, built Of solid stone, four to six
feet thick. Yet the din from falling
churches and houses was so great that |
did not distinguish when it fell. When
the shock was over, the air was so filed
with dust of lime that I could scarcely
breathe, and there was not breath of
air. When the moon rose, later, Ma
nilla was frightful and dreary sight to
see. Everybody was in the streets,
praying or fleeing with what they had
saved, into the country. For days af
ter the people walked the streets without
speaking. And there was no noise of
carriages and no bells in city where
there were thousands moving before at
all hours.
The whole city is in ruins, the des
truction of life and property being very
great. The next day the stencil of
dead people, who had been buried un-
der the ruins, was fearful, and it was at
one time thought it would breed some
epidemic. We have since had some
terrific thunder storms, which have kill
ed many people, but at last, think,
the tmosphere is cleared of electricity
and l thank Heaven it has been no
worse. have been obliged to take the
roof off our house, but hope in few days
to be settled in body; but it will re
quire some time to compose my mind

Death.

Directly after the "Marriage" head
in newspapers comes the "Obituary"--
typical of the wedding of happiness and
grief in this life. The shouts, and
songs, and glee, of merry ones to-day,
will be broken by walls tomorrow, for
the sod will be piled on the breasts OF
some we thought not so near the grave
We read who are married, aud wish
them joy; line below ia the record Of
death, and we say, mourufu!ly, "Peace
to their ashes!" Sorrow treads on the
heels Of joy songs are hushed by the
football of DEATH laughs are broken
rudely-voiees, no matter how musical,
are stilled in moment.

The Nashville Union, replying to a
contemptuous remark of a Coppsrhoad
paper, that "Sambo is getting to be Of
Importance in these latter days." says:
"The negro has been of great impor-

has enabled a few aristocrats- to rule
the nation. He has given the cotto n
States all their importance. He has
caused one foreign and one :civil war
already, and has become at last the
chief corner stone of the Southern
Coufederacy." Who will deny Sambo's
importance? .....

In coming on to day passed heavy columns of tie

and hope in the mighty army. This gives
Lee a powerful army, which cannot be conquered by
Hooker or any array of Yankees that be raised in
TIE United aes The greater part of the day have
ridden in rear Of our army, and am sure have not
seen fifteen men going TO the There is stray

campaign will transcend in glory those &c all others

whole army which read to-day, forbids any depreda
tons upon private property in the enemys country Blu;
combining all power Of seizure TO certain authorized per-
sous as Qulrtermasters. Commissaries Generals, &C.
The order is rather unexpected but will tend more to
preserve the efficiency Of the army than any hundred
