DEAR SIR: We l>al this inoning at 8 1-2
tt'elock.nmch tins most severe Earthquake which
has v'sited Q iito duringtlhe present century.
|rs duration was about OHV minute. Tlie spires
,>f many churches are thrown clown, roofs of
I houses fallen in, and the streets in many places
t lined with broken Him precipitated from above
I have ju-t retur led f o.n visiting the FI ires
llou-e, fiou which we removed on the 17th
insf. It is in rains—a great part of the root
is down, also a part ot the second story ; the
chimney top, thrown with violence, carried
awav the stable' roof, some of the furniture is
I crushed, and die brick and tiles are piled four !
i or five feet deep over the bed places where we j
slept We escaped the catastrophe by just live j
i days.
1 My present house is uninjured, is reasonably
secure against future shocks, and there is plenty '
n! opt n ground adjoining for refuge. Mrs
Fin knlew ami I passed into the patio, and the
' children and servants into the garden during
I the shock—from our position 1 saw the action
of the house and the movement of the earth to
advantage.
A bricklayer on the roof, working at a chim
ney top, found it thrown iu confusion around
liini, and took a firm grip to hold himself from
following the frigments. There is more or
j less of injury all over tiie city, but details arc
vet unknown. Ido not think the number kil
led, is very large. I have had time to make
only a -light personal examination, the houses
are very much shuttered, and another severe
I shock would produce immense destruction.
IF'ports from neighboring villages represent
them as having suffered severely ; and we await
news from the South, where previous Eirtl.-
quakes have been most severe. I might fill
my sheet with reports, tint have confined my
self in this leit-r to what L know.
Yours respectfully,

GOVERNOR WISE'S LETTER OX SLAVERY QIES
TIO.V. — Governor WISE has recently written to
Wti.t.i AM F SAMKOKU, ed.tor of the Signal pub
lislied at New Auburn, Alabama, apapertliat
has hoisted his name as a candidate for the
Presidency—a letter which fills nearly thirty
closely-printed columns in the Richmond /hi
quirrr —in regard to the slavery controversy
; and the exciting questions in reference to it
which are now exciting public attention. The
extreme length of the letter will prevent its
general perusal or republication ; hnt it is
nevertheless attracting considerable attention
from tli- characteristic ability displayed in it.
We cannot undertake, iu this article, to give
even a >aiisfaeh ry al struct of it ; but some idea
of its nature may b- formed by our readers
when we state that Governor WISE announces
his opposition to the doctrine of non interven
tion by Congress with slavery in the Territories
which has hitherto been advocated bv the Dem
ocrat ie party. He denounces the surrender
j by Congress of its rights and duties on that
question : and while lie contends that Con
gress cannot prohibit slavery iu the Territories
lie claims that it is its right and duty to pro
teet it there against all unfriendly legislation.
He denies the authority of Territoiia! Legisla
tures to tax slaves, or in any way to prohibit
slavery. 11 i< idea of Popular Sovereignty is,
that it can only be fully enjoyed at the moment
when State Constitutions are formed, prepara
tory to admission into the Union, at which
j time he supposes full dominion can be exert U
' i"l, hi icgard to slavery as well as all other
subjects. He contends that the Constitution
gnat unties to slavery in the Territories all the
protii tion it requires, but that the power of
t'o; gre.-s to assist iu securing such protection
should uotb e surrendered.
The State Central Committee of the
St ite Rights Democracy of Pennsylvania as
sembled at Altoona on Wednesday last. A
large number of members were in attendance,
and much enthusiasm was manifested.
Resolutions were adopted to the following
effect :
I That it is inexpedient at the present time
| to nominate a State ticket.
2. Formally proclaiming unalterable oppo
sition to the doctrine of Congressional inter
' venfion in relation to slavery in the Territo
ries a< advocated by the Republicans in their
platform of 1856, for the prohibition Aduiin
, istration Democrats for the protection of sla
very in the Territories.
" Recommending the friends of popular sov
ereignty to vote for no candidates at the com
tin 1 future elections, for county, State, or no
tional offices who refuse to stand clearly upon
the doctrine which recognises thepri iciple that
t'-e people of the Territories, like those of a
Siatc shall form and regulate their own do
;ii"stic institutions in their own way.
1 R"commending to the Union State-rights
Democracy of Pennsylvania to demand at all
times and in all places, the adoption of the
principles promulgated by the H u risbiirg C >n
■ vention of the 13th of April, 185'J, and whi< b
| were enunciated iu the Cincinnatti platform of
1856, and in Mr. Buchanans letter of aceep
j tanee.
That county committees of correspou
' deuce be created.
A committee was appointed to issue an ad
dress to the people of Pennsylvania.
Speeches were made by all the members of
j the committee, and the utmost unanimity pre
i vailed throughout.
ACCIDENT ON THE XF.W YORK & ERIE RAIL
ROAD. — A passenger in the Cincinnatti express
train the New York and Erie Railroad from
, Iviuira, on Saturday night, reported that the
train was three hours behind its time at that
place in consequence of a heavy snow storm
which drifted on and obstructed the track. In
some places along the route the snow was two
feet deep. After the train left Eimira iu went
along at accelerated speed, in order to make
; up time, and by the time the train arrived at
Narrowsburg fifteen minutes had been gained
—a distance of seventy miles, run in two hours.
A short time after the train left the latter
place, at a curve-near Port Eddy the locomo
live ran off the track against a ledge of rocks,
instantly killing the fireman, named Bell. The
engine and baggage car were badly damaged.

FOREIGN NEWS —TIie news from Europe is
of war, immediate and inevitable. Tliesteam
| ship Xingirti, from Liverpool on the 23d alt,
arrived at Halifax Thursday morning. The
linal proposition of England for the adjust
ment. of the difficulties in the way of a l'eace
Congress had encountered a positive refusal
i from the Government of Austria ; which had
at once sent at: ultimatum to Sardinia requir-!
ing her immediate disarmament within three
days, under penalty of a declaration of war.—
The demand had been attended with the dis
patch of eight thousand additional troops to
Lombard}*. As the answer of Sardinia could
only be a refusal, the (reparations for an im
mediate conflict were aceeleiated with startling
energy. The mission of the Austrian Archduke
Ai.nr.KcHT to Berlin is stated to have been per
fectly successful. lie succeeded in forming a
convention with Prussia, by which the latter
engages to send to the Rhine an army of 28,-
000 men under the command of the Prince
Regent, and if the pending negotiations for
peace should fail, this force is to be increased
by the continsrent of Bavaria, 00.000 strong,
and the Eighth Federal Corps of 00,000, while
other contingents will he held ready to march.
The French troops were advancing toward
Piedmont in large masses. The effect of these
! movements upon the Paris Bourse was to pro
duce a serious revulsion, with a decline of 3
per cent, in the Rentes. The intervention of
the Easter holidays had left London markets
less influenced. Consols had however, declin
ed 1 2d. Besides the war news, there is very
little intelligence of moment by this araval.
' —The arrival of the Canadian screw steam
ship, Anglo Saxon, at (Quebec on Monday,
brings four days later intelligence. The crisis
in Europe continues, hut as yet there has been
no declaration of war. War was momentarily
expected, although it was rumored that Aus
tria had given Sardinia fourteen clays longer
in which to consider her demand.
There was also a rumor that France and
Russia had entered into an alliance offensive
and defensive. This announcement which
reached London on Wednesday, caused a panic
in the money market, Consols falling on that
! day upwards of two per cent.
French troops had already crossed the fron
tiers of Sardinia. A French loan of five liun
! dred millions of francs is announced
Breadstuff's had advanced considerably in
I the Liverpool markets, and were buoyant at
: the close. Wheat holders were demanding a
j still further advance.
i There had also been a material advance in
I
Provisions, but particularly in Beef and Pork,
' for which the market was quite active.
The London money market was slightly
more stringent, and there was an active de
mand. It was expected that the Bank of Eng
land would advance its rate of discount.
i _ ,
The Louis Republican of May 3d says
, that its correspondent at Leavenworth City
! confirms the views which it has heretofore ex
-1 pressed, in regard to a foray upon Chihuahua
and Sonora, in the event of the failure of the
i Pike's Peak gold adventure. That agents
have been at work in getting up an expedition
i which is to be concentrated in Chihuahua and
| Sonera, does not admit of doubt : and the
I
condition of the men who have gone out to the
! gold region—the destination of many of them
even when leaving our frontier, and the proba
j bility that hundreds and thousands will he in a
. stale of absolute starvation, and therefore readv
for anything, soon after their arrival—all these
| things warrant the belief that an inroad, peacea
ble or otherwise, will be made into the Mexican
States which we have named. All that is
wanted to give a successful issue to such an
expedition is money—money to pay for the
provisions for the use ok the men.
SRIC* Official advices received in Washington
from \ era Cruz concur with our correspondence
in placing the condition of the Liberals in
| Mexico in a more cheering light. The princi
pal cause of DEGOLLADO'S retreat from before
i the city is stated to have been the destruction
of liisarniuuuition atTacubopaby the explosion
of a shell. Only tour cities are in possession
J of Mm AMOX'S forces—Mexico, Cordova, Puebla
, and Orizaba—and upwards of eight thousand
Liberal troops were inarching on the former,
under AMPUDIA,GARCIA, pF.ooi.LAno.and others.
The forces in possession of the city only num
bered about six thousand.
BxSr The Black River Woolen Mills at
| Watcrtown, were burned on Friday afternoon.
Some sixty persons were in the building at the
time the alarm was given, and tliciregress was
I cut off by the Are, which originated in the
lower part of the building. Some of them
were rescued by ladders, and some jumped from
the windows. Two pcr§ous were killed, and
thirteen others were seriously injured. Several
are also reported missing.

severing a large artery in one of his logs, with a knife
which beheld in his hand and was using for some purpose,
and which caused his death within a very few moments
j from bleeding. Mr. Avery was a young man of sober and
: industrious habits, and leaves a wife and two children to

| —The body of the wife of Joseph H. Robinson, residing
some three or four miles up the river fioiu this place, in
Eaton township, was found floating down the Susquehan
na river at Wilkesbarre, on Thursday of last week. We
learn that Mrs. Robinson had been laboring under the ef
fects of insanity, for the past two or three months, caused
by ill health, and that on several occasions she had at
tempted to put an end to her life, hut was prevented
from doing so. On Wednesday night Aie effected her es
cape from the house by obtaining a key to one of the

her from going out. and nothing was seen or heard of her
until picked up at or near Wilkesbarre. The body was

DIED.
In Ttiwtintla on Saturday, A [nil 90, DAVID F.BARSTnv]
Kstj., ageil 03 years.
This community have been called to sutiß, int: J
death of DAVID F. BAkstow a loss which IS uotetsi t J
paired. It is not too much to say, tiiat a, a man h- Li
muiy noble traits width drew aiuu.ul UituaLrp - J
, o ' warm and true friends, who now deeply !.i
1 iss. Possessed naturally of a strong uiiud, his U„:. u
hnl been disciplined and strengthened Iy a iilwr.il a .
t on, and any subject upon which he L ...
, his opinions were always entitled to deference and respt-:;;
tlien* was no such thing as concealment or diseni- ■
! utterance of his views ; what lie held, he held fromW:
est and intelligent coyvi.-tion, and thvugli yon migl.t :
for from him in sentiment you could not but adiuire i.
straightforwardness and sincerity.
As a citizen, he was called to till several offices of h• r
and trust, which he did with hi- accustomed iut.fv
ami ability*.
None htit they who saw him in his family, surreal**
by those lie most tenderly loved and cared for. can ay
ciate the loss sustained by them who dwelt with him t*-
ncath the same roof.
But his highest glory w is to sit at the feet of Jem H
c muted all things hut lose compared w ith the ex tlkntj
of the knowledge of Christ Jesus bis Savior. His win .e
s ul for Ultjre than a twelvemonth past, was on-njiKd
with his niaste; s work ; hi- inea'. and drink -ctiacd In*
to do lil- will, and to finish the work that was given bin
to do. And that work was done cheerfully and w.'.h
a glad heart, not by cons'riint, but willingly. Hird
as is the yoke of Christ to the natural heart, it was tibia
• easy, and his Saviour's harden was light. btvaie-f-tU -•
of that Saviour ronstra ned him. and the hope of an be
ship with him in his eternal and glorious kingdom rcidf
every .sacrifice ol little account, it w,i- a pleasuref-r
him to lie found regu'arly in his seat whenever the Hii*
of t itnl was open ;it was no lmrdship for him to gather
aroifhd him on Sunday a elas.- in the Sunday > Is*, : lie
never looked upon it as a sacrifice to give a lew hour- du
( ring the week to the public worship of that Bud with
| whom he expected to pas- eternity. And nmv , we tea
j tore to say, that lie Iras no occasion to regret these bin-
I hie services for hi- Master's glory,
i bong may the sweet savor of hi- piety linger in th;
i community. He has gone to his rest and hi- reward.-
j His -oat is now vacant. Ills earnest prayer- are n
j ger heard, llut his decision, his dtv • ai— his larre
| hearted charity — his sympathy with every good work
ins loving care for his children let tlie-i remain i- the
t best monuments to his memory, and a- motives to those
j who survive to go and do likewise. B-J
