Safely rested at Georgetown, will now de-

town is situated beautifully at the foot of Repub-
lican mountain on one side and Sherman noun
tain an the other, and In the rear of Leaven-
worth, each 1000 feet high. We find the city to
contain about 2.5JO Inhabitants. The majority
are miners and owners. The city is supported by
the superiority of her silver mines and smelling
works. The finest are the Stewart reduction
works, at the north end of the town, turning out
daily one brick or average $1,000 per day. There
are Il number of Others, all worked to their ut
most capacity. The greatest need ] find is Il
want of more works to run cheap grade ores.
There are thousands of tons of ore lying at the
different mines waiting their turn. The works

Invested. Low grade works would pay tully lOO
The mines cover the entire county of Clear creek.

PANAMA, April 1l.-lntelligence re-
ccived by prev ious mails from the north,
is not only con iirme6, but brings to 4 eli
max with the entire destruction of the cap
itol of San Salvador, and ruin of popula-
ton of forty thousand people. The first
really violent shock occurred on the 4th of
March about 5 p. m., destroying many
houses. Quaking continued until the
morning OF the 10Th, when at 2 a. M, two
light shocks succeeded by strong one.
destroyed the entire city. Popaponago,
llapalauga, San Thomas, and Santo Teca
have all suffered but to lesser extent as
well as every city within radius oftwenty
miles. Fortunately, owing to the alarm Of
the fourth such residents as has not left
the city, were living in patois, or in public
plazas, hence the number of lives lost
though great was thereby diminished
Only two buildings, the Hotel Del Plaque
and the government palace, are left stand
ing. The loss is estimated at twelve mill
lions, the aggregate loss Of life and wound
ed is 500.
Further reports of the earthquake at San
Salvador state that fortunately, owing to
the first shocks having frightened the
greater part of the population from living
in their houses, tine loss Of life has not
been 50 great as it would otherwise have
been. Out ola population of AZ, 900, which
the city OF San Salvador was said to con
tain, the number reported killed and
wounded varies from 50 TO 800. In the
midst of the dust and CONSERVATION, fire
broke out in IA drug store, but it was soon
got under.
The government functionaries stood TO
their posts and did their duties in a highly
creditable manner.
The President sent his family to Santa
Tecla, and established himself in the prin-
| cipal square, the capitol, in tent. repress-
ed all attempts at disorder and robbery,
and rendered assistance wherever it was
most needed. Any one found carrying
away property not his own, was shot. The
authorities still persist in rebuilding the
city on the same site, although this is the
eighth time within one hunderd and fifty
years the city has been destroyed. Most
people nevertheless have removed to Santa
Tecle.

REBEL MASSACRE.--The oGtrngce upon
the freedmen al the town ofColfax, in Grant
Parish, Louisiana, on the 18th inst, were
Of a most atrocious character. The blood
thirsty massacre is the most horrible that
has occurred since the close of the civil war.
The occurrence arose from hostile opposi
ton Of the old rebel element of the State,
against the present established government
of the State, and the refusal to pay taxes.
This gave rise to bad feeling between the
whites and the colored population, q por-
ton Of which had been organized to enforce
the collection of taxes in that parish or
county. The white rebels determined to
crush them, and for that purpose organized
an armed force and marched into the town.
The colored force there was driven into the
courthouse and was summoned to surren-
der, which they agreed to do, but in order
to expedite the courthouse was fired, and
those not burnt up or sufocatcd inside
were shot down as they attempted to leave
the burning building. 1t is also stated
down after surrcndering. The blacks
numbered some three or four hundred, the
whites half the number, the formerly most
" unarmed /; and to show how murderous
the onslaught was, only one white man was
killed and three or four wounded. The eX-
oct nun,be~ VI placKs hIIIeu ls not known,
I.-U 1t is set down ut one hundred and fifty
to two hundred. Indeed it is stated that
between ttco and three hundred rere roasted
70 death, besides those shot as they tried to
save their lives in fleeing from the flames
The telegram from Attorney General of
the State says that the mob that massa-
cred the negro garrison at ColfaX court
house during the recent Louisiana riot are
as bad as the modoc. murderers. The
shooting down Of conquered men flying
from burning building, and the butchery
of surrendered prisoners, are savage in the
slightest degree. The Modoc murderers
were no worse than these atrocious
wretches, and they ought to be treated to
the same punishment. The General Gov
ernment did not interfere, because the
State government did not ask for assistance,
but sent an armed force of police to the
scene as soon as possible; when the assas-
sins had hed. There is only one way OF
dealing with these Kuklux outlaws, and
that is by arresting every one known to be
engaged in the massacre, and trying them
for murder.

\ SAD SCENE.-The Harrisburg State
journal Of Monday says -
When the emigrant train from the East
arriVed'yesterday morning, about 3 O'Clock,
a young Prussian woman named Brahle
was found among the passengers, having
in her arms dead child a little girl aged
about two years. When the fact became
known, a crowd gathered around the mo-
ther, who was stricken with grief, and
weeping bitterly. She was advised to stop
here and bury her little girl, to which ar
rangement she consented. She stated that
the child had been sick since the party
landed at Castle Garden, n. Y, and that
1t died about half an hour before the train
reached Harrisburg.
One of the generous-hearted workmen
ut the depot repaired 10 store on Market
street aud procured the necessary articles
for shroud, clean stockings, ETC., and
obtained for the woman thread, needles,
ETC., with which she made neat shroud
stitching away over her tears all morning
in one of the cars where she Sat. Coroner
Porter was notified, and furnished a plain
but substantial coffin, ia which the child
was placed, and, accompanied by the mo-
ther, was taken to the almshouse for burial
yesterday afternoon. She wept bitterly at
parting, but was willing to leaving it in the
hands OF strangers for Christian burial, as
it was necessary for her to follow her
friends, whom she expects to oyertake
sometime to-day west of Pittsburg.

PHILADELPHIA, April Is, 1873.

1AlLADELPhIA, ApTl 10, 1910.
Friend IYilrert -
Time flies rapidly can scarcely imagine it
has been month since / wrote You last, but
comparison of dates reveals the fact. IL has
been such busy one, aud flying trip through
your section intervening, has made the time pass
with more than usual celebrity. When ] last
wrote We We're just over the excitement Of the st.
Patrck's day parade. The weather generally
considered suitable and occurring upon that day,
was evidently postponed this year a full month
for we've been having IL with full vengeance
the past week.
Disasters have been coming thick and fast.
First, the sinking OF the Atlantic upon the rocky
coast near Halifax, going down with its thou
sand occupants, ana over one-halt of them hnd-
ing "A watery grave. IL is simply fearful, aud
should be thoroughly Investigated, not for the
purpose OF screening from blame those at fault,
but for the purpose of fastening the guilt upon
the proper parties and that they may receive the
punishment they so justly deserve be they EN-
ployees or employers, and If one or both are de-
monstrated to have been remiss, they should be
made suffer the most severe penalties for the
wholesale murder their neglect has caused.
Scarcely has the full reports of the Atlantc's
fate been received when from our western coast
comes the terrible news of General Cauby and
DR.. Thomas deaths by the treacherous hands of
the Indians In whose honor they had trusted
their lives. No doubt their crime will be fully
atoned for In their utter determination, and even
the most strenuous adherents of the present be-
nign policy of the Government in their dealings
with the Indian race, will hardly find fault with
the justice of the edct. Still that il should de-
monstrate the fallacy of the policy of peaceful
solution Of the difficulties, | am unable 10 see.
They are but one tribe, and many more have
been worth recipients Of our National kindness,
/ aud the offence shcnid be visited upon tho heads
Of the guilty only. Ii is impossible TO eradicate
the feeling of a century Of abuse in the space OF
four even eight years. 1t will take much
longer, but the success has been great, and It Is
hoped will be even more so. IL Is sad to think
of the noble General thus cut down by the cow
! ardy band Of a worse than assassin when he
