The country was visited last night
by an earthquake which extended west
as far as Illinois and Missouri, south as
far as Georgia, and north as far as tho
upper section of New York State. 1t
was felt worse in North and South Caro-
lima than anywhere else, and as it came
north the force seemed to gradually di-
minish. The vibrations were not very
great in this city. 1t was felt slightly
in New York. In the west the shocks
were slight and did not seem to disturb
people much. Raleigh, N. c., seemed
to suffer the most. There things we're
pretty badly shaken up and the people
we're terribly frightened.

LAMBERry1LLE. Sent. 1. 1856.


Mr.. EDIToR:--Considerable amusement
was afforded number of our citizens, on
Friday last, on Bridge and Union streets.
The principal actors who caused the fun
were ''Siney" and his new gray horse.
On Bridge street, near Main, the old gray,
to which was hitched wagon containing
swill barrel and bucket or two, sud
denly stopped, and despite all the plead
ings, coaxings, promises and threats from
''Siney" he would not stir. At last
"Siney" became desperate and sprang
astraddle of the horse, which caused him
to suddenly give plunge and a loud
snort, and then started on full run,
turning into Union street on $40 gait
"Siney" holding on to name and harness,
the wheels of the wagon playing tattoo,
the body jumping, see-sawipg and rat
Ting, and the swill flying in all directions.
AT last old gray was brought down to
good behaviour, and after severe repri-
mand from "Siney," was driven home
and stabbed, with the understanding that
if such conduct was repeated in the flu
ture he would miss his full supply of oats
and hay. Old gray has been a better
horse ever since. JIM.

Therefore it is evident that the voice of

against Mr.. Pidcock's nomination. But

JEST was graduated by the W estern Theo-

the Presbyterian Board of Missions. A
Pittsburger who returned from that
country to-day encountered Rev. JEST in
Zacatecas. He found him busily engaged
in firing with heavy navy revolver at a
target.
The Pittsburger said: REV. JEST told
me that from the time he had located at
Zacatecas and begun his missionary
laOOrs, SIX years ago, there had been
scarcely moment when his life was not
in peril from the bigoted and uneducated
Mexicans. He had been fired at while
preaching the gospel, and in self-defense
when he entered the pulpit he was COM
PEELED to place his revolver in readiness
for instant use alongside the open Bible
in front of him. He had often been fired
at In church, and in pure seli-defense,
when besieged by mob, had been COM
PEELED 20 shoot three or four men. About
year ago Rev. JEST had tired of leading
such life. He didn't relish either living
or dying martyr, and he had very wisely
concluded TO give up the ministry and

draw the plea of not guilty and entered
motion to quash the indictments, which
was argued at some length.
The court at once overruled the motion.
The defense then made motion for
separate trial for the accused for the
reasons cited in the petition heretofore
telegraphed.
The court expressed the view that the
