grams from various points in Virginia re-
port shocks similar 10 those felt In Rich
mOnd. In some places greater numoe OF
shocks are reported than in others. None OF
the reports agree as 10 the direction OF the
oscillation. AS far as heard from the shocks
were not felt south OF Petersburg, west OF
Lynchburg, north of Alexandria. nor east OF
City Point. On the James river, along the
Chesapeake and Ohio railroad. shocks were
felt as far as Staunton, 1870 miles northwest
OF RicbmOrd. They were also felt along the
lire of the Richmond and Dauville railroad
10 the southern border of the state. The
probability is that the shocks in Richmond
Were as severe as at any other point, as no
damage worth mentioning is reported from
any direction. North or the Potomac the
shock seems To have been comparatively
slight, except at Annapolis aud In Balti-
more, where IL was sufficiently violent TO
awaken the slumberers in some houses.
IN Baltimore il was observed very distinctly
by number of persons.

ALetter From Mrs. BeeCher.

a letter has been published from
Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher to the edi-
tor of the Des MOines Iowa) Reporter
denying the recently published state
ment that her husband had been en-
gagged for a Western lecturing tour.
She says it is quite uncertain if Mr..
Beecher will lecture at all this season
at any great distance from his home
duties, and adds a:
"Thanks for your kind congratula-
tons. A unanimous verdict would
have been gratifying and only small
justice, in view of the most vile and
wicked ISLANDERS against the purest,
cleanest hearted man that the sun
shines on, and after the tortures of six
months in that court room. But nine
against three, and that three being
such as they were, together with the
disclosures of the perjury Of the Load
er and Price wretches, is considered
here equal to what the full vindication
would have been. had the jury given
their verdict without leaving their
seats. / have no fears but that ever in
this life my husband will stand acquit-
ted before all men-save such charac'
ters as those who have plotted against
him, and even they knOO that he is
guiltless."

A New Volcano.

In the course of her voyage in the
China seas the Challenger visited an
extraordinary volcano on the small is
land of Camigdin, near the coast of
Mindanao. A chain of high volcanic
peaks, somewhat irregular in form,
eliminates near the center Of the is
land in mountain, the height of
which is given as s, 1888 feet; and lit
tie way inland, just behind the volca-
no, there Is another peak 400 feet
high. The active volcano forms an ir-
regular cone / $50 feet in height. 1t
rises up from the sea, with "A slope t
most points of upwards of fifty de~
grees. The general color of the cor @
is rich chocolate brown, and the con-
trast beteen it and the splendid green of
the mountain, nearly of the same form,
rising Immediately behind, is very
striking. There is an irregular crater
near the top, and from this dense
masses of steam escape; more promi-
nently it appears at night and in the
morning, when the air is cooler ard
there is more rapid condensation, and
here and there pale blue smoke arises
from numerous clefts and fumeroles
on the flanks of the mountain. At
night all the assures round the crater
and near the top show out red from
incandescent matter within. The
cone consists almost of a pale gray
trachyte. Much of the mass has been
emitted in the form of mud, and after
wards consolidated, but there are like
wise beds of what appears to be true
lava. One lava bed is very distinct
near the edge of the water, where
there is low sea cliff. This youngest
of mountains was born on the LIST of
Nav, 1871. For some months before
there were violent earthquakes, eX-
tending through the neighboring is
lands, and feft strongly as far as Zebu.
After the first eruption the earth
uuakes at once ceased. The accumu-
lation of the mountain has been going
on gradually, and apparently with but
little violence. At the end of the first
four months it was about third of o
mile in diameter and 400 feet high.
1t is close on 1000 feet high, and its
base has gradually extended until it
has entirely covered the town of Cat
armap, formerly the largest on the is
land, with a population of $4,000 iu-
habitants. Only a few ruined walls
remain. Camigdin was lately one OF
the most fertile and prosperous of the
smaller islands of the Archipelago.
It had a population of % 600, aud pro-
duced hemp, sugar and tobacco of the
very first quality. Since the eruption,
the island is desolate, and only a few
hundred inhabitants remain; the
houses are in ruins, aud the paddy
fields and groves of MitSa tertilis are
deserted and overgrown with a second
Jingle, For miles on either side of
the volcano in the paths of the two
monsoons the trees are blighted and
the vegetation destroyed by the sui
phurous exhalations,-FrieRd Of In
