WILMINGTON, Ns c., March 2O.-The
following telegram from Marion, the

received here:
"Bald mountain, in the south
western part of Mcdowell county,
in this State, was shaken 8 few
days since by volcanic throes, and some
of the inhabitants in the neighborhoOd
became much excited and alarmed.
However, one of the Oldest citizens says
that the shock was not severer UIan il
was in 1872. We have no reliable In
formation of the emition either Of fire
or smoke. g
A dispatch from Knoxville, Tennes-
see, yesterday, says that for the last
twenty days the greatest excitement has
prevailed in the vicinity of Bald moun-
tain in consequence of subterrsnean con-
valsions. The people for miles around
assembled in vacant house and en-
gagged in devotional exercises for sixteen
DAYS and nights under the ministratiOn
of Revs. George and Billy Logan, Bap-
tist preachers, and j. M. Seemley, a
Methodist minister. About one hundred
