silver Coins-yow 70 Bring them into
Circulation.

KENT County, Del, Feb. 10th.
MEssRs. EDiroRs For the last 1--WE years.
your correspondent has advocated the reduction
Of the standard value Of our silver CONS, to cor
respond with the value OF greenbacks SO that
they mig hit be used as circulating medium, and
accommodate trade, and not be, as at present,
locked up liz the miser's till, the brokers vaults,
or exported to foreign countries. Several years
ago, wrote my views to the Philadelphia Inquirer
but il then had no open doors to correspondents.
and was perhaps too much opposed to what ii
termed " drbasing the coiu, to give it either q
place in its columns, or notice it in any way |
also wrote To the Chairman OF the Congress ional
Committee on Coinage, who very politely replied
10 my letter, and said he would lay 1t before the
Committee, but Congress was on the eve of ad-
iournment, and the Committee was changed at
the next session.
now find that the Philadelphia Inquirer Of
yesterday has given place to an article advocating
the same thing in principle, but not in form, AZ
| as il einauntps from The Frankng Institute il
may be more likely TO be adopted then when com.
| ing from SO obscure an individual az your cor
/ respondent.
The proposition from the Institute Is to reduce
the weight OF the silver pieces, by reducing lht
size the proposition made Is to let the Size re-
| main the same and reduce the weight by taking
| from the centre OF each piece a sufficient amount
to bring them little below the present standard
of greenbacks; in other words, that 1t shall TAX,

No LESS THAN THREE State organizations
exist in Virginia, which claim to be ''Repub-

the two wings of the Wells party, who at
the last State Convention, held at Richmond,
divided. A call hos now been prepared,
however, which will be issued at an early
day, for State Convention, to reorganize
and rebuild the party This call is signed
by one Of the U. s. Senators, Mr.. Lewis, by
congressman Plat and Aver, by number
of members of the Legislature, and by Rep
resentatives from each of the three commit
tees, Of the various organizations. The Pres
ident, at an interview with number OF the
gentlemen concerned in this new and
praiseworthy effort, on Thursday, assured
them that it had his sympathy, and should
have his earnest support. We trust that the
result of the movement may be as satisfac-
tory to the true and reliable Republicans, as
that in Mississippi and Texas has been.

CALIFORNIA has had another earthquake,
and San Francisco has been severely sha-
ken. No one can understand, save those
who have actually experienced the sensation.
how terrible the shock Of a severe earth
quake is. That of October, 1865, which in
that city, undulated the earth in violent
waves for several seconds, produced the
most profound alarm among the people, and
thousands would have left The city, forever,
if their fortunes, business, and employment,
had not been fastened there. BY the alarm
of the occasion, heads of darI hair tunred TO
white, in a few hours, and even now, though
the people generally affect to speak inditier-
emily Of the event, they really avoid the topic,
and upon entering into the details, betray
their real shudders at the remembrance
The present shock, coming in the midst
of great depression in business, aud upon
the back of serious decline in real estate
is no small calamity TO San Francisco.

Philadelphia Ledger truly says;
"The idea of an air line Of railway be-
tween the National tai and the metropo-
lis of the country, outside of the existing
Zines connecting through, is simply ridicu-
lous if any regard is had for the large cities
intervening, as will be seen by any one who
will turn TO map and follow the several
railways as there laid down, which arc as
nearly an g air line as the nature OF the
ground and the touching of the large cities
Of Philadelphia, Baltimore, Newark. Tren-
