TCEW York, Stpt. 12. Tho stomnslilp Oulflintf
Star, lrom Aspinwall, brings the following intulIH
gcnce:
On tho 13th nit, a terrible enrtn'qnako visited tho
cities along tlie coRt of Peru and Ecuador, wliero

; rcrty valued at 3UO,(K)i),(X)0 was destroyed. Crum
bling sound jircccdi'd tlie partli'iuako, and tho sen
was terribly agitutcd, and flooded tlio land for a
great distance. -
Arequipa, a city of thirty-tlvo thousand Inhabit
ants, lias passed away, soar-rely a vostlge of it being
left. Only 400 live were lost there. Arica, a town
of 12 000 InhnbitantM, was also destroyed, not a
house being lelt standing. In this town 500 persons
perished. A tidal wave, forty feet high, rolled with
terrific force on shore, carrying ships further on
land than was ever before known. The United
Mates storeshlp Freilorlia capsized, and all on
board were lost. Sho had on board naval stores
valued at l,8oo,(M)0. She was rolled over and
smashed to atoms. ,
The United States steamer Watereo was carried
half a nille Inland, left hlh and dry, but only one
sailor was drowned. Owing to her great distance
Irom tho sea, she can never bo got atloat again.
Tho Peruvian corvette America was also oarrled
ashore and thirty-three of her crew were drowned.
The American merchantman Rosa HI vera, tho Kng
lish ship Chancellor and the French barque Eduardo
were also lost.
The towns of Iquiquo, Moquega, Locambla and
Plsaqua were all utterly destroyed. Over 000 people
perished at Iquiquo. The Americans lost heavily,
and nearly all are totally ruined. The towns of
Ibarra, Kan Pablo, Atiinti'iqui and Tmutad are in
ruins. Whore the town of Coatlcachl formerly stood
is now a lake. The people of these towns were al
most entirely destroyed. The towns of Paneho,
Pucllaro and Cachlquajo were also destroyed. The
dead bodies arc so numerous that the survivors have
been forced to flee from the stench of the putrefy
ing bodies.
Havana, Sept. 12 Advices have been received
announcing that Peru and Ecuador have been
visited with a most terrible earthquake. Tho
shocks occurred on the ltith of August, and lasted
only live minutes, but in that timo over 2r,ooo peo
ple perished, and U0,000 were made homeless. The
cities of Arequipa, Iquique, Chala and Chlncha
were entirely destroyed. Tho loss of property be
tween Taeon and Arica Is estimated at $11,000,000.
The United States steamer Kearsarge is rendering
assistance to the sutfercrs.
Additional Tnrticulars.
Kbw Yokk, Sept U. Letters from Lima givo
additional details of the earthquake and its ollects.
The shocks commenced at 5.M P. M. on tho Lftu
of August, extending from Bolivia to the southern
fart of Chill on the coast, and over 100 miles in
and. The towns and cities mentioned In the dis
patches of last night were literally ruined, all tho
buildings not destroyed being so badly injured as
to require demolition for prudential reasons. All
the public buildings In Arica were destroyed, in
. eluding tho custom-house, which contained over
$4100 ,000 of goods, all of which were lost.
The loss or tho Fredonia and stranding of the
Wateree are described as follows:
They were both at anchor in the harbor of Arica,
near each other. After the first shock had occurred
on land, and which created great consternation on
both vessels, Dr. Dubois, the surgeon, and Mr.
Cromwell, paymaster of the i-'redouia, took a boat
and went on shore to inquire for the welfare of
some friends, and to oiler the services of the ship.
In a few moments after leaving the vessel a great
upheaving of the waters in tho bay commenced,
and the .Fredonia, parting her chains, was dashed
about at tho mercy of the sea, and Anally was
broken to pieces on a reef. Nothing of the vessel
was saved, and her otHcers and crew, twenty-seven
in number, were all lost. Also, Mrs. Dyer, wife of
the lieutenant commanding. -
The orllcers' names are Lieutenant B. Dyer; D.
Organ, master; J. G. Cromwell, purser; S.Lunt,
Secretary to the Commander.
The vessel had nearly 2,000,000 of naval stores
on board, all of which were totally lost.
The Wateree was more securely anchored, but
dragged, her anchors, and tho great tidal wave
swept her 450 yards inland, about two miles north
of tho ruined town. She now lies between two
hillocks of sand, very slightly injured. It will be
utterly impossible to extricate her, and Admiral
Turner is only hopeful of saving her battery and
stores. Only one sailor was washed overboard and
drowned. Lieutenant Johnson, of the Wateree,
was ashore at the time, and while carrying his wife
in his arms to some place of safety, sho was struck
by a portion of a falling building and instantly
killed.
Tho Peruvian corvette America shared the same
fate as the Wateree, but lost three officers and
thirty men. Commander Glllis, of the Wateree,
after the disaster, together with Dr. Wlnslow and
Dr. Dubois, of the Fredonia, were of great service
to the inhabitants, dividing their provisions among
the suffering people, and the physicians saving
many lives by their medical and surgical skill.
A letter f rom Arica, dated August 22, says two
Other vessels, the brig Chancarillo and barque Ed
wards, are also high and dry, the former losing
eight men. The scene beggars description. Kails,
cars, machinery, gun carnages, household furni
ture, barrels, dead animals and mutilated corpses
are lying about in confusion.
The city of Arica numbered 7000 inhabitants,
and its multitudes stand helplessly beggared on the
beach. Three hundred lives were lost in the city.
A conflagration burned nearly all that was not de
molished dv the earthquake, and a drunken rabble
robbed and despoiled what remained. Jloavy can
non were carried up from the island battery, and
now lie buried in the sand far from the shore.
At Lima there was not much damage done, al
though the shocks lasted about four minutes, cre
ating the ntmost consternation, and the inhabit
ants flying to tlie open plaza, where they besought
protection from the Almighty.
Admiral Turner, with the frigate Powhatan, left
Lima with a full cargo of provisions, and had ar
rived at Arica to succor the American seamen
there, and the inhabitants also. She will also save
the effects of the Wateree. The Kearsarge had
also reached Arica from Coaulinbo with provisions.
A French man of war also left Lima to aid the in
habitants at Arica and other places on the coast,
who are starving.
Mr. Hovey.the American Minister at Lima, was
energetically aiding, to tlie extent of his power, in
alleviating the distress. The merchants and citi
zens of Lima are contributing by thousands of dol
lars to equip and load vessels with clothing, provi
sions, etc., and the government is most energeti
cally using all its means to alleviate the distress
entailed by the terrible catastrophe.
The Congress of Peru has unanimously passed a
' resolution giving the President unlimited power to
succor tlie inhabitants of the southern coast: and
the President has issued a proclamation, ana tho
Archbishop a pastoral lotter, calling upon Peru
vians for liberal contributions, which have been
nobly responded to, over 81,000,000 having been
raised. The business houses of Lima, having con
nections on the coast, have suffered lmmeusoly,
one house, that of Gibbs & Son, losing over 1,000, -000.
Nearly all the towns and villages In the mi
neral previnces of Huanca were destroyed, and re
duced to shapeless ruins. The cities of Perno and
Cu ico were not damaged. The ttort of Mollendo,
where were stored the materials for building Mr.
Meigs' railway, was completely destroyed, nearly
all the tools, fails and, provisions being ruined by
the earthquake and the succeeding tidal wave.
At Callao the sea burst over the line of houses
skirting the shore at 10 P. M.on the 13th, completely
gutting them of their contents. The panic was ex
treme. Several vessels collided, but no damage was
then done, nearly all putting to sea.
The next night a tire broke out, and fifty-seven
houses in the business jiortion of the city were de
stroyed, entailing a loss of $1,500,000. No lives wore
lost here.
The Chlncha islands felt the earthquake and
... wave, but no serious damage was done there as far
as known. . ....
The cities of lea and Pisco also suffered severely
rrom nouses oeing ovennrown, ana twelve lives tost
at the former place. Nearly all the people of Cal
lao have fled to Lima. ' :
The steamship Santiago, bound from Callao to
..- Valparaiso, put into the port of Chala, when on the
13th she was seized by tho great wave, her chains
parted, and the ship was carried out to sea; but in
a few moments the wave returned toward the shore,
and carrying the ship with all her passengers over a
high clln', landed her safely inside the channel.' -
The port of Chala was completely covered by
water. At Caldera the wave and earthquake com
pletely destroyed everything, the dwellings being
left a heap of rubbish, and no traces of streets to
be seen. The Inhabitants Hed to the mountains, but
many were drowued or killed. Thirty-seven dead
bodies had been discovered at the last advices.
At Iquique the shock lasted over four minutes,
alter which the wave came and destroyed about
three-quarters of tho city, many lives and nearly all
the provisions, and the condensing machinery which
supplied the people with drinking water. Provi
sions and water have been Bent there from Valpa
raiso. One German house at Iquique lost over
4X,000 worth of provisions. Here over 600 people
were drowned.
At Arequipa the earthquake commenced a few
minutes arter 0 t . M., and lu nva minutes nearly
every house in the city was levelled to the ground.
The tower of Santa Catallna church was (he only
thing left standing, and it will have to be pulled
down. Nearly all the inmataa r t.lm i.rUn.n ami
hospitals perished In the dostructlou of these build
ings. The shocks occurred at intervals, nearly one
hundred having taken place in three days. The city
is a mass of ruius. The river has changed, and

At Quito the carthquako commenced at 1.21 A.
M. on August Kith, and continued, at intervals of a
few hours, up to the last dates, on August 1!rth. .
All tho churches, public buildings and private
dwellings are already in ruins, and the people are
living In tents in the great squares. Tho towns ad
joining Oulto, named Vci iicho, Pucllaro an. I Ca
chuguango have almost entirely disappeared, with
their inhabitants, the few left alive being obliged
to flee toescape the pestilence arising from the pu
trefying bodies. The towns of Veiiicho and San
Antonio also disappeared. Tho number of deaths
In the city of Quito is not yet known, but a largo
proportion of the wealthy inhabitants had died
from pestilence or disaster.
A Valparaiso letter, of August 17, says: Advices
received there from Talcuapano state that at
f P. M. on August 14 three shocks were felt, the
second of which ralsod an Immense wave, which
swept away fully one-half of tho town, and ren
dered the other uninhabitable.
At Tome the same thing occurred, but being
higher up but littlo dannigo was done. Tho port or
Constituclon su tiered from tho wave, but was not
mnch damaged. Several small vessels wero
stranded and live men drowned. The town of Con
cepcion was also much damaged. Cobija.the Me
rillones Islands, Pisaqua and all the cities and
towns, In fact, from Cape Francino in Ecuador, to
to the Magellan Straits, suffered more or less from
the terrible visitations.
One report states that an American barque ladon
with guano, name unknown, was swallowed up com
pletely in the harbor of Arica, and nothing more
was seen of her. Terror, hunger and depopulation
reign where Arica once was. The town of Choquega,
nine leagues from Arequipa, was destroyed. Tac
quin, in the same neighborhood, lost sixty houses
and 150 lives, mostly children who wero returning
from Bchool. The town of Chellai?) was swept
away, and only 20 out of 500 Inhabitants escaped.
Tho earth was opened in several places on the
plains and pampas, and water has appeared In some
places. In some places hot water has poured forth
from the chasm. All the habitations at Tilo were
destroyed, and twenty lives were lost. Three ves
sels, with their crews, were also lost. All the nitrate
works at Iquique were destroyed, as well as those
In its suburbs, entailing great loss. Among those
killed at Iquique was the British consul, Mr. Bil
liiighurst. The American barque Condor was lost at Mcgll
lones, but the crew were saved. The losses at
Iquique are over $2,000,000. At the Chlncha
Islands there was first a hurricane, next an earth
quake, and then a tidal wave. Several English
vessels were damaged, and a Prussian barnue was
wrecked. Four hundred tons of silver ore, with all
the expensive works of the Peruvian Mineral Com
pany, owned in London, wore completely swept
away at Iquique.
The towns of Concta, Chancaz, Capara, Charna,
Cabacera and other smaller places were also de
stroyed. The port of Los Loonas has been united
to the islands in the bay of Callao by the action
of the earthquake. Over 300,000 persons are with
out shelter or bread.
Commissions are being formed and the ladles
are making clothes, and the government of Peru
is straining us utmost to alleviate the distress.

Secretary McCulloch has received from the State
Department a copy of a dispatch letter from the
United States Vice Consul at Malaga, relative to
certain changes in port duties of both foreign and
Spanish vessels entering the ports of the Peninsula
and adjacent islands. Anchorage and light duties,
which have hitherto been levied on the measure
ment, are now rated on the kiloletre, through which
innovation these dues have been increased oy about
fifty-two per cent., and as the American vessels
trading to the port of Malaga are on the average of
much larger tonnage than those of other nations,
the new regulations will fall very heavily upon
them. The difference between the old law, ou a
vessel of four hundred tons burthen, is as follows:
Old law, 190 55; new law, $215; excess of charges,
$24 45. The law is now in 0eration.
The fact has been already published that Colonel
James Marr had been apiioluted Supervisor of In
ternal Itevenue for the District embracing the State
of Missouri. To-day Secretary McCulloch extended
Mr. Marr's jurisdiction temporarily over the Dis
trict comprising Kansas, Colorado and New Mexico.
In response to a telegram from Mr. McCulloch,
on Friday last, U. S. District Attorney Courtney,
of New York, arrived here to-day, and was en
gaged with tue Secretary this afternoon with re
ference to the alleged internal revenue frauds and
the management of the case. Mr. Courtney left
to-night lor New York. "

FROM EUROPE.
By AUantio Cable.
London, Sept. 13 It is generally considered
that the events of the last fortnight have made but
little change in the political condition on tho Con
tinent, either to lessen or iucrease tho chances or
war, while on the other hand the press of Germany
has assumed a quieter tone, and profess to bo more
confident of peace. On the other hand It Is kuowu
that France has refused the final demand made by
the Chevalier Nigra, the Italian Ambassador, for
the recall of the 1-rench troops from Rome, and at
the same time Prince Girgentl has brought to Paris
the proposal of Spain to cement an alliance with
France by sending 30,000 soldiers to Koine. Tho
proposition and the approaching Interview which Is
shortly to take place between the Emperor Napo
leon and the Queen of Spain are looked upon as
foreshadowing an alliance, tl e object ot which Is to
rid France of the care of the Holy See, In case sho
should be plunged into war, so that by this means
France, if without, any other ally, would make
spam useiui.
it is rumored, too, tnat several fighting regl
5
ruents have been ordered home from Africa, an
that General Le Boeufhas been sent on a special
mission to ucrm.iny, ana ttiat rrussia lias deter
mined to annex the Grand Duchy of Baden. These
add to the feeling of distrust in the pormanoncc of
peace, and the feeling Is faithfully mirrored in
Paris by the depression of the Bourse and the con
sequent decline of Kentes, and in diplomatic circles
here the situation is summed up in these words.
"There Is no fear of war, though it may begin to
morrow.-
London, Sept. 13 Later advices have been re
ceived from Klo Janeiro. According to the Bra
zilian reports a detachment of Paraguayan troops,
left behind in Gran Chaco, on the evacuation of
Humatia, were surrounded by the forces, and sur
rendered unconditionally, with twelve pieces of
artillery and all their stores. The fortifications at
Humaita had been razed to the ground, and at the
last accounts the whole allied army had commenced
its march to lay siege to the fortifications of Lopez,
on the Tebscuary river. The fleet of iron-clads had
already arrived opposite the intreuchments, and
commenced a vigorous bombardment.

Political. On Saturday evening there was
a monster meeting of the Republicans of the
Twenty-seventh Ward at Commissioners' Hall,
West Philadelphia. General C. M. Prevott pre
sided. James Lynd, Esq., was the first speaker, and
in the course of his remarks, said: The Demo
cratic party have been the slaves, the tools of
the Southeru slaveholders, whose Interests are
solely agricultural and opposed to m'ernal im
provements. What would our country be with
out canals and railroads, and jet the Democratic
perty has ever opposed their construction with
only one exception, that of the Pacific Railroad,
and then they lent their votee only because the
slaveholders of the South were willing, for
thereby they would have free access to the great
West, and because California, which is a Demo
cratic State, demanded it. The party have never
been capable ot one unselnbh motive. The
speaker then reviewed th Missouri Compromise,
the Wilmot Proviso, and Kansas and Nebraska
questions, and continued: What has been the
recoid ot the Democratic party during the war?
They were ever opposed to it, and hond and
glove With those who first tired on Sumter; who
laid over 400,000 ot our brave soldiers iu Inhos
pitable Southern kTave. Will joa allow such
men to bave a voice, in or to control the public
aflairst
Their platform is one of repudiation; they
would disgrace our nation in the siiht of the
world. Who is Seymour? You all know him
a man who never did a single act to distinguish
himself iu an intellectual point of vie . lie is
the prince ot co wards a moral coward a man
ol no intellectual attainments whatever.
Don. Charles Gibbons, in a speech of some
length, during which be contrasted the acts of
the Republican party with those of its oppo
nents, made up of Rebels wbo had been at war
agslbst the Government, and ot their Northern
svn pa bizer. It bad been most merciful to the
enemies ot the country. It bad treated them
with a forbearance and liberality which had no

Its candidates were not obscure men of doubt
ful patriotism. They bad been before the world
long enough to be knowD. They had attracted
the notice and commanded the respect, and
admiration of the world in their respective posi

more than a soldier. He wai a man of cool
Judgment, quick perception, and firmness of

and tnus renew the cenfhet. Remember, then,
that In October we ate culled upou to vote not
for men only, but for men aud principles We
cannot fail in the struggle, unless we fail in
vigilance and duty
Hon. William D. Kpllsy on being introduced
as Tecelved with immense cheering. Hesald
Vermont gave the Democratic party a chill.
They will have the ague next Tuesday. On
election day let every man vote, and not only
vote himself, but see that nooe of the enemy,
not entitled to vote, Is allowed to. This side of
the bchujlkill t-hould send in a majority of
six hundred for Tvndalr. There are two planks
In the Democratic platform I would like to dis
enss, but I cannot to-night; some other time 1
will do so. (Cries of "give them to us now.")
Nc; I will ot lj mention them. Tbe first is the
iorthu plank, which taxes everything to its real
value. Flour is a nccetsity of life; tfiey would
tax.it to iu Teal value. Fodder for tbe poor
man's horse Is necessary. The Republican
party do not desire this. Hour all n,uht use; let
that go tree. Whisky we do not need; tax that
heavy. Corn, fodder, and hay are necessary for
the poor man who drives his cart through the
streets; let tl.rro go untascd, and that which
many of us u?e, ana consider a luxury tobacco
be taxed. The other r'arjk is the revenue
taritf. Wedo not wish the produce of foreign
looms, Let us have Protective tariff; let ua
etnd our surplus Roods across the waters, and
not make this a market lor their products.
What has built up West Philadelphia aud made
it such a beautiful place? Protection to our
labor.

njaiks from him the meeting adjourned.
One of the most enthusiastic meetings ever

shortly after tbe meeting had opeued a rain
ttorm came up; but tbe citizens, not to be
doteired, adjourned to the Town Hall.
The Hon. John Wood had been appointed

to the people that republicans were invincible

snd freedom would be triumphant, lio intro
trcductd to the mtetlug Mr. William Moran,
who made one of his accustomed powerful efforts.
David Goreham, Esq., was next introduced,
who, in a lew well-timed remarks, brought out
the eithusiasm of the audience.
Tbe Hon. W illiam U. Ruddiman next took the
stand, and made a poweiful appeal on behalf of
the ticket. He touched upou what was due to
those who had served their country well, and
