which says: :
A citizen of New Madrid informs us
that the earthquake felt here early in
the present month, caused violent up
heaval of the earth at a point near GAY
osO, Pemiscot county, No., one of the
effects of which was the opening of q
frightful orifice in a sandbar opposite
that village. The waters of the Missis-
sippi rushed into the opening with the
roar of a hurricane, and were thrown,
by the closing of the assure, far up in
to the aiF-a hundred feet or more.

NAIL ROUTES.

A correspondent of the Common
,reatth, in speaking of mail routes in
Southwestern Kansas says:
My opinion is that there should be
immediately the following changes
made in the post routes: The semi
weekly from Emporia. to Cottonw God
Falls, should be made daily mail.
From Cottonwood Falls to Marion Gem
ter, there should be tri-weekly mail
instead of a weekly [accordiug to con-
tract, monthly in reality, as at present.
From COttonWood Falls the present
weekly mail TO Augusta, passing through,
Bazaar, Sycamore Springs, Chelsea and
Eldorado,, should be tri-weekly. The
mail from EIdora'lO. TO Wichita through
,TOwanda, should pc semi weekly. -, u
From, Emporia TO Eureka, Instead of
being weekly, should be tri-weekly.
From Eureka. down Fall River there is,
mo mail route whatever, so that persons
on Fall River, ten, miles. from their
county seat, must (if il go by, mail, )send
a letter one hundred and fifty miles
round to reach point ten miles distant.
There should be q tri-weekly mail from
Cottonwood Falls to, the head of Fall
River, down Fall River, through Enre-
ka, 20 the junction of the Verdigris,
aud down the Verdigris to those towns
recently started in MONTGOMERY county.
The mail from Emporia to Verdigris
Falls, aud from there to Pleasant Grove
should be tri-weekly instead of weekly,
and should be extended on down the
Verdigris through Coyville. Verdi,
Guilford, Fredonia, New Albany. TO
the point to the junction of Fall River,
where the route from Cottonwood Falls
would come in. There should also be
"a tri-weekly mail from Humboldt
through WOodson county along the
Owl Greek settlements to Eureka, In
Greenwood, thence along Spring Greek
to its head, and from there to Eldorado
by way of LaIndcn's Rancho on the
Little Walnut. Were these routes es-
established, and the mails thereon car
ried promptly and regularly, it would
be greater inducement to settlers to
locate on the frontier, and our State
would have a direct communication
with the State Capital, and close COM
nIunication from the southwestern to
the southeastern sections of the State.
These routes are required. and other
routes should be established to all new
towns and settlements as they may be
opened out, III order tlEit new corners
may feel that they viii not be out of
the United States when fifty miles from
EmpOria. Citizens should not rest till
the evils now.existing are remedied.
