At Charleston.

At Charleston, at q. m. on the 18th,
there was an earthquake shock unaccom-
panied by any great rumbling or detona-
tion, aud 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 walls il apt to be re-
garded as an earthquake. There has not
been a shock in some days worth report
ing. The relief committee has issued over
q thousand forms OF applications for as
>ictance 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 council will probably take action on
the subject to prevent any BuddenSeiS
disasters in the hurry OF rebuilding.
