thirty years ago. He was a member of
Gen. Harrison's and also of Gen. Tay-

for nearly half a century Mt the head OF

Morton, which has no counterpart in
the moral codes of any other civilized
nation. In word, his letter is q

tennessee Affairs"

In commenting upon statement in
the Louisville Journal in regard to the
condition of affairs in this State, the
Nashville Press and Times of last Sat-
urday says;
There never has been any reasonable
grounds for doubling the vote of Ten
nessee this fall. There is not State in
the North more certain for Grant, with
out a single soldier in the field. We
say this after a careful and close obser-
walton for months, and feel confident
that we are not mistaken. We do not
think that the militia will be brought
into service, for the reason that we do
not believe there will be any need OF
their services to preserve order at the
polls. If, as some imagine, 10000 armed
Kuk'ux are plotting a general uprising
on election day, it certainly requires no
argument to show that no militia force
would be sufficient to cope with an ene-
my so powerful and well organized and
drilled. In that event, the Union men
Of Tennessee would be compelled to in

ed dispatch from Mr.. Pendleton to the

pointments, and leaves his own State
confident of large Democratic gains.

Appalling CatastrODhe.

The following account of terrible
earthquakes in South America came to
hand in our Nashville exchanges of the
18th. If the account is well grounded
at all, the loss of life and property is
probably largely exaggerated:

18th utimo, terrible earthquake visit
ed cities along the coast of Peru and
Ecuador, whereby thirty-two thousand
lives were lost, and property valued at
three hundred million dollars destroy
ed. "A rumbling sound preceded the
earthquake, and the sea was terribly
agitated and flooded the land for a
great distance. Areguissa, city Of
thirty-hve thousand Inhabitants, passed
away, scarcely vestige being left.
Only four hundred lives were lost here.
africa, town of twenty-five thousand
inhabitants, was also destroyed, leaving
not house standing. Five hundred
persisted here.
A tidal wave, forty feet high, rolled
with terrific force over on the shore,
carrying ships farther on land than ever
before known. The United States store
ship Fredonia was capsized and all OIL
board lost. The Fredonia had a million
eight hundred thousand dollars worth
of naval stores. The vessel was rolled
over and smashed to atoms. The Uni
ted States steamer Wateree was carried
half mile inland and left high and dry.
Only one sailor was drowned, which
was owing to the great distance. She
never can get atloat again. The Peru
Wan corvette, America, was also car
ried ashore and thirty-three persons be-
longing to her were drowned. The
American merchantmen, Rosa Rivers,
the English ship Chanticleer. and the
French barquc. Edwards, were also lost.
The towns of Iquique, Moquega, Ler-
umba and Pisaqua were all utterly des-
troyed. Over six hundred persons per-
ished at Iquique. The American mer-
chants loss is heavy. Nearly all arc
totally ruined. .
The towns of Iquarra, San Pablo and
Meantad are i'll ruins. The population
OF these towns were almost entirely
destroyed. Pamcho, Pullero and Ca
chugina were also destroyed. The dead
were so numerous that the surviving
inhabitants have been forced to fly from
the stencil of purifying bodies. In
Quoyaquil the earthquake was felt, burt
no damage was done. Letters from
Queto, dated the 18th announce that
earthquakes continue at intervals Of Il
few hours. The President has issued
proclamation to the people to come for
: ward and help the sufferers.
