THE GREAT EARTHQUAKE.

In the presence Of so great disaster as
has befallen the people of South Carolina
it is impossible Immediately to speak
collectedly or with composure. A series
Of earthquake shocks has been experienced
over an era comprising three-fourths of
the territory of the United States. The
center Of disturbance appears to have been
at and in the vicinity of Charleston, S. c.
The exterior bounds of its influence
have been line down the Mississippi to
the south line of Tennessee for the south
west boundary the Missouri for the north
west line from the southern point of
Lake Michigan a little north of east to
the Hudson somewhat above New York
for the northen limit; the Atlantic coast
for the east line; the north line of Florida
for the south, and thence line to the
south line of Tennessee where it touches
the Mississippi. The wave move
ment of the earthquake appears
to have been northerly and southerly.
The terrible destruction of life and
property at Charleston, Summerville, and
points in that vicinity, is detailed in our
dispatches. That the people of the United
States will fly to the aid of the suffers is a
matter Of course. We can only hope now,
that in the excitement and horror of the
great terror the extent of the loss of life
and damage to property has been much
exaggerated. When we are told that the
shocks lasted in some places for three
minutes, we in California, who have felt
only two or three seconds of shock, are
much inclined to think that there was mis-
measurement of time in the midst of the
horrors of the disaster. 1t is monstrous
ILL., and awakens every humane sympathetic
and plying sentiment of the human heart.
Our Southern brethren are in dire distress
and deepest Woe Fair cities have received
injury from which it is not possible
for them to recover in many years. The
only hope of more speedy rally is in the
fact that the earthquake was spread over
such sswide extent of country, that no
one place will be felt to be much safer
than another, and thus an exodus be
checked which else might PROSTATE
Charleston for a decade.
