= Social OsTRAcIsM.-The Barnwell Sen
snel, in commenting upon this subject in a
recent Charleston letter of the New. York,
Tribune, written from Charleston, says with
truth:
1"If our people 60 North without being
properly presented, no one thinks of inviting
them to their houses, or sending their chill
,.dren to play with them. And so it is here
Are all the barriers and projections Of society
to be broken down in order to let Northern
children play with Southern children, and
Yankee grown people associate with Southern
grown people? The thing is absurd ~;
"The truth is, the courtesies and amenities,
of polite society are extended North and
South now, as they were before the war;. on.
the same conditions If gentleman or lady
visits Charleston, Augusta or Columbia, with
proper letters of introduction, he or she is re-
ceivcd and introduced into the same circlo of
society that the persons to whom. they bring
their letters are moving. Just as a gentle,
man or lady from the South visiting New
York, Philadelphia or Boston. The carpet
sbaggers, the adventurers, the spoliators,
who have come South to rob and Cypress us,
associate with negroes, on perfect equality,
allow negro men to dance with their wives
and daughters, and rcciprocate these at
tentions, to the. wives and daughters Ct thei:
colored visitors, are net permitted to enter
the society of cultivated and refined people,
their children are not permitted to play with
our children, aud if our women associate
with such people, they are denounced and
ostraciscd. In a late letter from West
Point, it is said, grave fears are entertained
lest the !coored cadet, Smith, may take his
dusky belle to the hop; and this pregnant
remark is made: II fancy that the constcr-
nation displayed would be extremely rich.
Of course, in suchan event, the cadets would
be obliged to suffer and endure in silence,
the only effect being that the ball would be
broken up" Here is the answer to the
whole complaint. 1t is question of social
propriety with which the law has nothing to
do. Northern ladies and gentlemen who
come here to live and work with U.S. not to
overturn our political and social government
not to incite the animosity of race, not to
steal, are heartily welcomed, and if they
bring proper letters of introduction, courte-
o,lsly and kindly received, or bringing no
letters, show by their deportment, refine
ment and culture, that they are ladies and
gentlemen, no barrier is placed against their
entrance into society, 80 soon rs they estab-
lish their claim to its courtesics and atten-
tons

Terrible Earthquake in China.

Our Minister in China, Governor owe.
has forworeded to the Secretary of State
the following translation Of a report of terri
ble earthquake, from the Chinese Governor
General Of tile province in which it occurred
BRIEF ACCOUNT OF THE EARTHQUAKE AT
BATHING IN sZcIIUEN.
I have ascertained that Bathany lies on a
very elevated spot beyond the borders Of
the province, about 200 miles west from
III Tang, and more than 30 post stations
from the district town! of Tatsien, ON the
high road to Thibet.
About II O'Clock A. NJ. on the 18th of
Abril, 1871, the earth trcmbled so violent
ly that the government offices, temples,
granaries, stone and storehouses and fortifi-
cations, with all the common dwellings, and
the temple of Ting-lm, were at once over
thrown and ruined the only exception was
the hall in the temple grounds called Ta-choa,
which stood nnharmed in its isolation.
A few of the troops and people escaped,
but most, of the inmates were crushed and
killed under the falling timber and stone.
Flames also suddenly burst out in four places,
which string winds drove about until the
heavens wtr, darkened with smoke, and
the roaring was mingled with the lamenta-
tions of the distressed people. On the 18th
the flames we've beaten down, but the rumb-
ling noise were st Il heard under ground
like distaat thunder, and the earth rocked
and rollcb like a ship in storm at the waves.
The multiplied miseries of the afflicted inhabi-
tants were increased by thousand fears,
but in about ten days matters began to grow
quiet and the motions to cease.
The grain collector at Bathang says that,
for several days before the earthquake, the
water had overAowcd the dyke, but after it
the earth cracked in many places, and black,
fetid water spurted out in furious manner.
If one poked the earth, the squirting instant
ly followed, just as is the case with the salt
wells and fire wells Gin the eastern part of
the province and this explains how it hap
pened that fire followed the earthquake in
Bathang. -.
As nearly as is ascertaiDed, there were
destroyed two large temples, the offices OF
the collector of grain tax, the local magis .
trate, and the colonel, the Ting-ln temple,
and nearly 700 fathoms of wall around it,
and 351 rooms in all inside; six smaller tenn
pies, numbering 221 rooms, besides lS49
rooms and houses of the common people.
The number of people, soldiers and lamas
killed by the crash was 229S, among whom
were the local magistrate and his second in
Office. -. -
The earthquake extended from Bathang
to Paag- -Chahemah, westward to
Nan.tun; on the south to Lin-tsah-shih, and
On the north to the salt wells Of A-timtsz,
circuit of over 400 miles. 1t occurred sim l

BURIED ALIyE-On Monday. '5th in

BURIED ALIvE-On. Monday, 5th in
slant, John Wentzell, a pump-maker, of
Reading, was buried alive by the caving in
of forty. feet stone-waled well, in which he
was at work. The accident occurred shortly
before IL o'clock in the morning, and an
immense crowd was Immediately drawn to
the spot. A large force of workmen began
laboriDg atonce by relays to remove the de-
bris and secure the body. none doubling that
the buried man was dead.
BY noon some progress had been made,
and one ofthe workmen asserted that he
heard Wentzell's voice This was univer-
sally regarded as imagination, however The
work was vigorously continued, however,
and by 3 o'clock in the afternoon there was
no doubt that he was still alive, as he was
heard repeatedly calling for help.
The Times and Dispatch thus concludes
it's narration of this remarkable rescue:
Alta few minutes after o'clock his head
was uncovered, and his first cry was for wa
ter. Some stimulus was administered to
him. and his body was at length discngaged.
He was discovered to be compressed between
the bottom section Of the pump-stock and
the side Of the well, a couple of feet above the
water. In some peculiar manner the stone
was. .arched over his head, and the left arm
was fastened under the heavy mass, the other
arm being partially disengaged and clutch
ing the rope. When drawn to the top the
injured arm was paralyzed, and it was found
that he had suffered three severe contusions
upon the head. He could stand alone, and
insisted on his ability to walk home, but was
carried home on a settee. The injury to
the arm is the only one that appears likely to,
prove serious, no bones having been broken.
He described his awful situation in the well,
and fully realized the peril he had been in.
Despair seized him at first, but after long
and horrid suspense, as the light begad to
appear above him, he discovered the efforts
being made for his deliverance, and took
courage. Breathing, was matter of diff
Guilty for long period. The escape is one
of the most wonderful narrated in the cate
cory Of similar casualties. -

CARD PLAYING ON THE SABBATH AND
IT'S SAD REsULTs.-One of the strongest
evidencey Of the wrath and curse of God
ever known, has been seen in Greensboro,
North Carolina. It was on that bright,
clear Sabbath morning., April 23d, when
all was calm and the sun seemed as though
it could not shine bright,cnough to make
FL d the hearts of Sunday-school and
church gocrs, when the various church bells
Of the town were sending forth their notes
dfwelcome, summoning crowds to hear the
word, that company of some eight or nine
colorcd men assembled in the woods just
.outside the corporate limits of the town to
have social day Of gambling" betting,
card-playing, &C., &c. Well, the day passes
away, until up in the afternoon, the game
and betting TINS high, when there, within
the sound Of the Baptist preacher, his voice
is heard, and one of the gamblers says
Amen. About this time one of them raises
his hand, (cards in it, when all of a sudden
he feels peculiar. sensation. His fingers
refuse to move The cards drop out and
fall to the ground. The arm drops to his
Side and he is a paAied men-to-day not a.
Bile to earn his is,living. Such is the fate Of
one. That Of another is more terrible He
was \. out and defiant ,oflaw. He tries his
hand for half hour. But that was enough.
He leaves for the barber-shop, thence to the
colored Presbyterian Church, in which he
was one of the singers. That night he was
stricken, never spoke again, and died in less
than twenty-four hours. I was called on os
one of the jury to look upon him, who but a
few hours before was as we'll rs and stout as
any. Surely Gin the midst of life we are in
death" Gods dealings are wonderful and
mysterious. One Of these men says he knew
it was wrong to play cards, and especially
on the Sabbath. The palsied man says he

IRA 3. r SHOT.

About half.past 10 o'clock this fore
noon Ira S. Parke, of tho firm of Parke
& Bowie, tailings millmen Of Six-mile
Canyon, vas shot by August Engel-
hardt and quite severely, yet not
dangerously, wounded. We get the
following particulars from MI. Bowie,
his partner: It appears they have had
considerable difficulty with Eugelhardt
about a piece Of land he was occupy
Ing, and which they also claimed, be-
low their mill, and this forenoon Mr..
Parke went to EngelEardt's house and
q discussion OF the matter resulted in
violent words. Mr.. Parke turned to
leave. and as he was doing so Engel-
hardt fired at him, once with a double
barreled shotgun and twice with a
pistol. One Of the pistol shots took
effect In his right shoulder, from be-
hind. The ball glanced upward and
passed out without breaking the
shoulder, inflicting a severe flesh
wound, but no very serious one.
Mr.. Parke rode up to his
residence, further up the canyon,
near the Nevada mill, where he was
attended by DR.. Bronson, Of Virginia,
who was Immediately sent for. Sheriff
Atkinson being notified Of the affray.
went down to arrest E~ngelhardt, and
we presume did so, but we have not
learned as yet. As to the true merits
OF the quarrel between the parties
who was right and who was wrong In
the claim to the land in dispute-we
know nothing; but the story Of the
shooting gives 1t the appearance Of a
cowardly and deliberate attempt at
assassination.
z. S.-Since the above vas In type
We learn that Sheriff Atkinson arrested
Engelhardt.
