Earthquake in sHeridian.

From the Gazette of the 18th.
Yesterday morning at half past two
o'clock, a very decided shock of an earth
quake was felt in this place and almost
everybody was awakened by the creaking
of houses and the rafting of furniture
and crockery. No damage was done,
but the doors of some residences were
forced open, suggesting to the inmates a
burglarious raid and the plastering in
several buildings was cracked or shaken
down. The CONSERVATION was lively, for
a while, many expecting a severe rope
tition of the shock, and some of those. to
whom it was first experience, were much
alarmed AZ the unact ountable phenome-
non.
1t is uncertain as to which way the
shock came and went, as persons who
were awake at the time it occurred, differ
widely IN their statements, some contend
ing that 1t came from the north or north
east and Others as stoutly maintaining
that it came from northwest or west.
Our impression is that it came from a
direction little west of north, but as we
shall probably hear from it by telegraph
all coniectures viii soon be set at rest.
The shock was accompanied by a rumb-
ling sound and was followed by sudden
rise of wind. 1t was the common topic
Of conversation, yesterday, and the
peculiar sensation caused by it viii not

cd them.

The Eire---EEcrOIc Conduct OF the
Eircmcn.

On yesterday morning, about ? o'clock,
the bells pe4led forth the alarm OF fire, and
soon the streets were filled with our gallant
tiremen hurrying to their variou engine
houses. The fire was discovered to be in
the frame tenement buildings on President
street, south OF Pearl, owned by Mrs Philip

Pcyton Robinson (colored), Justice of the

given, the roof of the store had already
fallen. The Hope Hose was first upon the
ground ,their engine Is undergoing repairs).
and almost instantly thereafter the Gem
engine and Hose came up at a rapid rate.
aud went into action with great prompt
ness. They were Immediately followed by
Ne. Com any with their splendid steamer
which began To throw water without mo-
ments delay, their hose having been "layed

had we no fire companies, the whole square,

fair fame, upon every occasion of action.

hundred dollars worth of property The

Labor for the South.

ure tire Irish. will always prefer a kindred
| climate TO their own, where they can be
healthy, and where the system of agricul-
| ture Is somewhat akin to that they have been
accustomed to AT home. Migrants for
the South should be sought in more south
ern counties. There is very large and
valuable population in Northern Italy to be
obtained for immigration through the port
OF Genoa. These people have already been
going to the Argentine Republic and other
parts of South America, where they have
/ become most valuable citizens, eminent for
skill, thrft, industry, and quiet. peaceable
habits of life. IN 1865 Genoa alone sent
10000 emigrantS To South America But
society there is too insecure for this quiet
people; late outbreaks of riot and fanati-
cism viii have the effect TO check the flow
OF population thither; and there could not
be a better time than the present for the
southern immigration societies to establish
such relations with Genoa as will turn the
toe OF emlgrant> 10 our own Southern
shores. The peasantry of Piedmont and
Lombardy are precisely adapted to the
wants of the South. They would NOT need

We have copied the foregoing for the
consideration of those who are engaged
in the Immigration Movement in the
South. The opinion is no doubt cor

tries of Europe afford an inviting field
for their labors. Still it is not to he
conceded that settlers from Ireland, Ger
many, Scandinavia, England and Scot
land could not prosper in the Southern
State. There are numerous examples
proving their adaptability to the climate
and labor OF this section. If there is an
exception at all, it applies to the Scandi-
navian countries.

snIsuInan Murder and EserDetr.a-
tiOn o. an suEncaIiOnaIsIF
Crime.

One of the most horrible crimes even
committed in Northern Alabama occurred
opposite Decatur, in limestone county,
about o'clock Sundsy morning. F0ur nt-
%roes, who state that they were iustigated
by white man named Winfield visited the
house of John WILSON who resides across
the river from Decatur, for the purpose OF
committing horrible crime upon v iison's
wife.
Wilson was away from home duriur the
night, and was returning OF sunday norm
ing just as the negro fiendS entered the
yard. The villains seized aud murdered
INN, and then threw his body into tha Ten
nessee river. They then entered the house.
and all OF them accomplished their fiend-
ish purpose upon the poor. uuprO ected
woman, each one of them perPatritIu% the
act several times oar informant, who
reached this city from Decatur to-day, says
the woman was in dying condition when
he left that place, ut o'clock yesterday
evening.
The negroes were arrested on Monday
evening upon Information given by Mrs.
Wilson, and she identified then as the
iiends who had outraged her.
The negroes then confessed their guilt.
alleging that Winfield had urged them to
the crime They were lodged ia Jail at De-
catur Winfield had been arrested previ-
ouSly, but succeeded in making his escape
but will certainly be recaptured.
yesterday evening about 9ls o'clock, Cap
tain Coleman, deputy sheriff of Limestone
county, went to the Jail at Decatur and took
the negroes out for the purpose of carrying
them To the county jail at Athens, which is
the county seat of the county in which the
crime was committed. There was no de-
monstratiOn, and Captain Coleman had no
intimation that any attempt would be made
to take the prisoners from him.
When the train reached the junction of
the Memphis and Charleston and Nashville
and Decatur railroads. it was stopped for
the purpose of switching. when twenty
five masked men, armed with double-b bar
relied shot-g guns and reporters, entered the
train, took the four negroes from Deputy
sheriff Coleman. and LETT the car with them.
1t is not known what was done with the
prisoners, but it Is supposed they were
either hung or shot.
LATER.-Nashville papers state that the
liberating band were negroes. The guilty
parties returned to their homes and were
re-arrestad. and are now in Jail.

gentle hint in the following paragraph
to one of the shining lights of Radical
ism. We marvel if be is one of the

dent Pease:
We wish to whisper a word in the ear OF
George K. Haste, representative in the
Legislature from this city, which that poor
creature will do well to heed. We advise
Haste to pay over TO the State Hospital the
funds due that institution by the govern
ment of the United States, or we shall tell
him something he will not like the people
TO hear. He has had the money long enough,
and the excuse that the government don I
pay on drafts" will not longer conceal
what looks like deliberate swindle! Ii
George Goes not wish to be ventilated we
advise him to see Brother Stringer. the

The publication Of the laws of the United
States through the press is, as at present.
conducted. an unutterable sham. We have
before us the official list of the papers selec-
ted by the Clerk OF the House of Represen-
tatIves, under the acts of Congress OF % and
18th March, 1867, to publish the laws of the
preSen6 session, and if a microscope had
been used to spy out the smallest Journals
IN the country finer aggregation of atoms
could not have been reached. But. it may
be said. the laws cannot, as things now are
be otherwise published; the pay is so small
that only the little mullusks of journalism
will open their mouths TO receive. Then.
we reply, one oftNo things should be done !:
either such a pretence of publication should
oe abandoned or the necessary expenditure
for making the laws known through lead
Ing journals in our largest cities should be
incurred. As IL is, the money spent is, for
sji except some petty partisan purposes
thrown away.-N. Y. World.
Undoubtedly the above remarks as to
the journals which have been selected
for the publication of the United States
laws in this State, is true. Under pres
ent rule none but journals of the Radical
stripe are allowed to perform this service
and consequently the laws are never read
except by the circle of Mongrel stipen-
diaries to whom their circulation is con-
fined
