The bulldings of Charleston, taken as u mae, are wrecked, Only a few of the new and modern brick, and the most substantial wooden ones, aie fit or sale for habitation, Creat flssures and cracks mark all the suter or inner walls. Bearcely a sound plece of plate glass can be found in the city, Many of the panes have holes in the center, as if penetrated by musket balls In some por. tions of the city—particularly about the Bat. tery, whore most damage was sustained scarcaly a chimney can be found on the handsome residences. Nearly all of the brick houses hore aro coverwd with stucco, nod are pmrked to resemble stone. The wrenching process of the earthquakes peeled olf this stucco, and heaped it up on the side walks, spread it over the shade trees, and car or or at the slightest warning.

It was even re ported that at one place in the city hot water had gushed from the ground, sealding people who were compelled to rush through it. There is but one theory advanced by scientists as to the cause of the earthquake and that is that it is due to some kind of settlement in the earth, There wore no upheavals. Atall the places where surface indications of trouble are visible the earth is sunken for several wiles, Immediately outside of the city this sinking was so positive that the railroad tracks were thrown out of level, and section hands have been at work putting in new rail road ties, raising old ones and reballasting the road. In a number of instances culverts and bridges were thrown out of place and had to be repaired. Ata special meeting of the city council yesterday the mayor and aldermen wore con stituted a commities to investigate the con dition of bulidings in thelr respective wards and to order any unsafe walls or bulldiugs to be taken down.

To some he says the throwing up of blue awl yellow mud and the presence of sulphur. sus smells would be evidence enough of the volcanic origin of the earthquake, but it does aot necessarily follow. The mud might easily enough have been thrown up by the contrac tions or expansions of the earth under the in fuences of the “seaward slip” described by Professor MoGlee, as all along the coast from Richmond through North and South Caro lina the waters beneath the surface are drongly impregnated with sulphur. Another seiontist connected with the survey thinks there may have been a “slide” at Charleston, but such a supposition wonld not account for all the effects wiih are said to bave boon produced, The Asscent of the land to the bottom of the son is much more sudden at Cape Hale terns than at Charleston, and the slide, he thinks, would therefore have been more likely to have ocourred at that point than where Prof. McUOee places it. The sacred comcert here last night at Her pog's Opera House, for the benefit of the Charleston mfferors, was a gratifying success in every sense, The programme was excel emt, the performance fine, the house was srowded, and the receiptse«more than £1,000 wore forwardad to Mayor Huger to-day.
