America, thence across to Russia and st. Peters

river. which flows along beautiful valley through
the Rocky mountains, he kept ON in his canoe with
his Indian guide 10 D1ve gan house. Here he went
out of the way to visit Smoky river so called from

The EARTHQUAKE in South America.

The steamer which recently arrived at New
York from Aspinwall, brings further particulars
of the disastrous earthquake in South America.
The loss of life has been terrible, exceeding by
far the figures already reported. In Ecuador,
it is stated, that of Cotacachi, place of over
60 900 inhabitants, Ibarra with 10000, and
Otavalo of O,00O-three of the largest cities
in the north of Extraordinarily nothing is
left but ruins; and of the 10000 human beings
who peopled these places it is feared over two
thirds have persisted. Besides these large cities
it Is reported that hardly town village in the
northern part of the republic has escaped In
Peru the loss of life is placed at 1890. The
destruction of property in the towns of this re-
public was imnIense, but owing to the time
which elapsed between the rumbling announcing
the earthquake and the shock, sufficient warning
was given to the people to escape into the open
fields, away from the falling houses Chill APP
pears to have suffered very slightly, the towns
on the coast feeling the shock and being washed
by the earthquake wave, but receiving no great
| damage The distress in Peru from the des-
truction of provisions, and of the apparatus for
! condensng and storing fresh water, was very
great. The United States vessels in the Pacific
ports were conspicuous among other foreign men
ofWar for their activity in transporting food to
the ruined towns. The Lima papers have pub
lished semi-oficially highly complimentary arti-
Giles concerning the humane conduct of the com
manders of the Waterec, Kearsage and Nyack
The stores taken from the Wateree, and distrib
uted at Africa among the people will amount III
value to 100000. n
