THE SHOCK IN HALIFAX.
Correspondence ofthe Rich mond Dispatch
SOUTH BosD0S, Sept. ,, 1856.
The earthquake Tuesday night last
was severely felt throughout Halifax
county. In many places chinneyS were
thrown down, but no serious damage
to property was done and no loss Of
life. Many of our people were badly
frightened, the occurrence was so sud
den and so unusual. The colored peo-
pie especially were greatly scared,
many Of them believing tho last day
had come. st Halifax Courthouse q
gentleman thought robbers were in the
upper rooms Of his residence, and, pug
naclously selling a shotgun, ne sta
tened himself at the foot of the stairs
ready for wa7. Another young gentle
man at the same place fell out Of a
hammock and sensibly increased the
violence Of the shock.
One CT two slight shocks were felt
here yesterday Wednesday, evening.

A telegram from Slrry county says
the earthquake.shock ct the Court
house on Tuesday night was quite Sc

both of brief dnration. Many persons
who had retired ran hastily out of their
houses. The plaster on the walls OF
the hotel and Of Bohannon's store was
considerably cracked. Clocks were
stopped ana pictures knocked down.
The vibration caused very decided
wave in James river.
From Greensville county il is learned
that three distinct shocks were expe-
rienced, the first at $3.50 P. NJ. Ths
was the seyerest. At Hicksford houses
were swayed and shaken, and windows
ratified to such an extent as to create
CONSERVATION and cause many people
to leave their houses for fear OF acct

to cause the RIGGING of the bell in tue

NAVAL EEORGANIZATION.

WASHINGTON, April Sin reporting back to
the House bill "To consolidate certain bureaus OF the
Department of the Navy" the Committee on Naval
Affairs says that the present organization Of the Navy
Department largely the creature of executive orders
and customs long acQuiesced in that they have almost
the force OF positive law The bureaus at present seem
TO stand relation each other and TO the Secretary In
manner precisely analogous to the relations the sew
era OF the Government bear TO each other
and 10 the President In other words these eight little
bureaus have become eight little Navy Departments
This division Of powers and duties brings about many
conflicts Of authority and results in much needless
pendue OF money 1t Is doubtful how far the Secretary
would have power to consolidate authority which the law
had indicated intention distribute among separate
bureaus former Secretary tried and failed and the
present Secretary believe he equal TO the task
Inc bill reported leaves with the Secretary his dis
cretonary power 1.-The distribution OF business, but
proposes different organization Leaving the bureaus
OF ordnance aud medicine and surgery 10 re-
ma IL - present 1t aboshes the other five bureaus
anc creates bureau OF lnateral construction and re-
pair and bureau OF supplies and accounts Under the
will be brought everything relating TO the building
and equipment OF "a vessel except ordnance
