The EARTHQUAKE.

In the editorial upon the earthquake 10
yesterdays Dispatch the date of that In The
Mississippi Valley which was so severe IN
its effects at New Madrid, In the State OF Mis-
s>uyi, was incorrectly stated. It occurred,
as was stated In DR.. MALLETT's letter. In 1911
II extended along the valley for three hun.
dred miles south Of the Ohio river. 1t was
the serercss earthquake that ever happened
in this country. 1t was very remarkable
on account Of the length Of time
the commissions, at short intervals,
were continued. They are said to
have continued for several months. TIE
,sures that were opened by the shocks eX'
tended in some cases more than half q mile,
aud mud and water were thrown from some
of them to the tops of the trees. We saw
the ground at New Madrid in 1853. II was
very irregular-marked by basins and eleva
tons. The region before the event was low
and level, and the depressions and eleVa'
tions were not very great; but they ex
tended over wide surface.
The little hamlet had very mournful ap'
pcarauce. Few persons seemed to haVe.the
bolness TO maintain their ground, notwlth
standing that the town was founded with
very high hopes. ....
10 1emarking upon the earthquakes in
| New England it was said that they were
sli III. and tre0uIous; but there was an eX
ccpion to this description in the earthquake
of 1865, November is, which was quite Sc
we're but not destructive.

CrgA AND GRANr.-Tbe "truly good " Re
publican Congressman are said 10 have got
ten ALARM ed recently at something which sus'
ges:cd the idea that the President meant 10
make a dash at Cuba as Il bit of strategy to
nave bearing upon the presidential cam
naicn reyt. year-a sort Of "third'teTm"
trump card. They are said to have declared
against any breach of peaceful relations Wild
Spain. and against the acquisition Of Cuba at
any price or no price. One of the wise men
feclsr, d tia. if the island were offered as a
free cift to the United States, accompanied
by gold enough 10 pay our entire na!lona!
debt, be should oppose lis acceptance.
Strange, that in so corrupt a party-a
party which might, from its history, be sup.
posed to be ready to take anytbipg-such
declaration as this about Cuba should be
made. We suppose that 80 much virtue was
displayed in the case because it only related
10 what might be offered 10 the Government.
A much smaller gift offered 10 the person
himself would hardly be repealed with such
n0ig nation
However, it is said that the conclusion
reached by conference held to consider this
matter was wholly against Cuba, and notice
to this effect was served upon the President.
