At Charleston.

At Charleston, at a. m. on the 18th,
there was an earthquake shock unaccom-
panied by any great rumbling or detona-
ton, and was only noticed by few per-
sons. Possibly light shock occurred on
the 18th but this is, uncertain, as any
vibration caused by passing vehicles or
the pulling down OF wallis is: spt 70 be re-
garded as an :earthquake.s There. has not
been shock in some days worth report
ing. The relief committee has issued over
a thousand forms of applications for as
sistance in rebuilding or repairing houses.
Attention has been recently directed to
the character of the mortar used, con-
sisting largely of yellow sand, and the
city ceuncil will probably take action on
the subject to prevent any Buddenseik
disasters in tho hurry of rebuilding.

phia Press saw letter from the Comte
de Paris the other day in which he
stated that while his first impulses aft
er his expulsion from France were to
come to America, he afterwards deem
ed it best that he should remain at
least for some years, within easy trav-
elling distance of his political adherents
and friends. 1.-The France of to-day
he continued, t'does not know what
true republicanism is, but I have some
hopes that shall live to see a differ
ent spirit dominant in her affairs.''
The Comte gives, however, a half
promise to pay a visit to this country
