The Diarro de Jlannilla, of the 6th June, states that this is the most se vere earthquake experienced in the Phillippines since the year 1646. The cathedral, the royal chapel, St. Domingo, St. Isabel San Juan de Dios, the palace, several schools, the military hospital. the buildings oc cupied by the tribunal of commerce, and indeed all the public buildings were razed to the ground. .Many priests and people were at vespers in the cathedral when the shock came. some of whom escaped—those being in the, back part of the edifice; the front only having fallen, burying in its ruins many of the worshippers, and killing eight priests. The Gov ernor was fortunately away from home when the palace fell, many of his family having with difficulty ex tricated themselves fro% the ruins.— The shrieks and wailings of the peo ple buried in the ruins and not res cued on the morning of the 4th are described as something fearful. The followina b is from the Straits Times, Overland Mail, of the 21st of June . "On the 3d inst,; at half past seven in the evening, a circumam bieut flame was seen to rise from earth and gird the city of Manilla (the 'Beauteous Flower of the East,' as she is finely and poetically- desig nated by her possessors,") at the same time a most terrific quaking of the earth took place. It lasted scarcely a minute, but in that short space nearly the whole of fair Manilla had been reduced to a heap of ruins. The abomination of desolation has taken possession of her pallaces, her temples and her dwelling-places, and death and destruction have ridden triumphantly over the land. We believe that upwards of a thou sand have been killed, and many thousands wounded, but it is imposs ible to say or to estimate. Scarcely an edifice has escaped without dead or wounded. The good priests, their choristers and sacritans, and the faithful who were hearing the ves pers of Corpus Christi, have been nearly all burried and suffocated un der the ruins of the cathedral and other churches. The only church that has escaped wholly is San Au gustin, the same that withstood the tremendous shock of 1646. The pal ace, and nearly all the public and private, as well as commercial edifi ces, have either been thrown down or shaken from their foundations.— Thank God! not a single foreigner has been killed, but two we hear, have been seriously hurt, though not dangerously. The Rodrigues property, left to the British nation, and where the British consul it° was has been entirely destroyed, and is nothing but a mass of ruins. JOH P.HELAN We must felicitate Spain on the conduct of her subjects here, of all classes, during this great and sudden trial; they acted admirably. The governor-general and the archbish op set a brilliant example, which has been copied nearly by all, of calmness, fortitude, resignation and energetic sympathy. The city is deserted nearly, fur the edifices threaten to fall suddenly, and there may be (though Heaven furefend it) a repetion. Before the earthquake took place sulphurous odors were perceived, rumbling like the firing of ordnance, and then like the approach of an im mense •locomotive and train. The flame that surrounded the city was seen from the bay to ascend towards the sky; and another, a tippled snake one, came from the land over the water to the shipping, and threw them up at least two or three feet, while on shore the earth has everywhere sunk at least two feet. God help us ; we are all sick and nervous, and require all our faith and confidence to sustain us." Whilit a reporter was on a tour of inspection to the wounded, at the late battle at Gettysburg, he had his attention drawn to a singular looking young man, upon whom death had already sot his mark.— While admiring his tender age and fragile build, the young sufferer opened his soft hazel eyes, and look ing up, said : "Won't you please raise my head and rub my hands ?—ft cramps so." The reporter complied, and asked of him his name. lie stated that it was James Warner, of London coun ty, Vt. It' was then that be knew this young sufferer to be in the rebel ser vice. Irpon questioning him he sla ted that tie never entered the rebel service willinglythat both of hie parents were Union people. "Won't you tell my mother, when You get an opportunity, that I am happy and expect to , meet her in heaven ? Willvou ern driak, and then I shall die eneyl" The reporter, of coarse, isequles7 ced, and gave the little retial sullroer nil the attention and entise4tittn he ceald bestow. 41 4. 1 1110 , 0414 dft. rfro wean standing by theip iate meaty, 44464 ' ator l w thoirritailato, blessing him 'pith that " . atteat* en• - 3; istEllantouo. AN INCIDENT. WAYNESBURG, GREENE ' COUNTY, PA., WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1868. that only the brave know how to bestow. A REMEDY FOR THE DIFFHERIA. This affection which comprises those that are known under the vari ous names of bad sore throat, angi na, croup and the French cangine coueneuse,' has hitherto been consid ered one of the most difficult to cure. We some time back gave an account of Doctor Trideu's method, which consists in administering borax, un der the form of a syrup, but we now find in the Revenue 7herapeutique a paper by Dr. A. DeGrand Boulonge —vice consul at Havana—in which he mentions ice to be an infalliable specific. As this, from its extreme simplicity, would, if effective, be far superior to any yet tried, we cannot refrain from quoting the cases men tioned by the author, who had pub lished this remedy as far back as February, 1860, and consequently complains [not without reason if its efficacy is such as he describe it] of the inexcusable negligence-of practi tioners in not taking notice of it, thereby allowing many valuable lives to be lost- The following cases came under his observation after that date. In the month ofllarch and April, 1861, the disease in question broke out under an epidemic form, and chiefly attacked adults, with such virulence that in one week three young ladies died in .one house.— One of Dr. DeGrand's patients, af flicted with blephacite, was seized with it, and as he could not immedi ately attend, owing to the severity of the case, another physician was call ed in, who ordered emetics and alum inous gargle, which produced no ef fect. At length Dr. DeGrand came and found the tonsils greatly swol len and a false membrane covering them. He immediately administer ed small pieces of ice, and by the fol lowing morning •the tumefaction of the tonsils had diminished by half, and the false membrane had nearly disappeared, That very evening the was enabled to take food. Profiting by this example, a few days after . her brother was seized with sore throat, presenting the same preliminary symptoms as those of his sister, but he without waiting for the doctor took some ice, and he was rid of his sore throat shortly after doing so. Some days later; Dr. DeGrand was summoned to a young lady who was laboring under the disease for some forty-eight hours; all remedies had failed, and the parents and friends of the family were plunged in the, deepest grief. When Dr. DeGrand ordered ice, a general cry of astonishment was uttered by all present. Ice for a soro throat! Impossible! It was sheer murder ! Dr. DeGrand maintained his ground, and after much expostulation, during which much time was lost, he obtained his end. Before twenty-four hours were over the patient was in full convales cence. Being at Vera Cruz on a mis sion, he was requested to see a young. man who was attacked with malio nant sore throat and had been treated t without effect by cauterization with hydrochloric acid and astringent gargles. Here, again he had to bat tle with the prejudices of the family, but was at length allowed to admin ister ice. The young man recovered in the course of the following day.— Dr. DeGrand has now been using this remedy for the last twelve years without having met with even a sin gle failure.— The Galignami "GREENBAOKS." Yew people, perhaps, are aware why the national currency is print ed with green-backs, therefore we will explain the reason : "Ever since the adoption of paper currency, it has been the constant study of bank-note engravers to get up some plan of printing bills that could not be counterfeited. In this they only partly suceedod till as late as 1857, a man named Stacy J. Edson invented a kind of green ink, which be patented June 30th of that year. It is called anti photograph ic, on account of its color, and tun not be dislodged with alkies by coun terfeiters, to got a complete fac-sim ile of the bills. And as it is a secret only known by the American Bank Note Company and the investor, it is impossible to counterfeit the green back money. It was never a lead ing feature in the bill; but even if the composition of the ink was known it would be of no use, as the work could not be copied from the genuine bills as with any other kind of ink. The date of the patent can be seen in sit the bills, in small print. LEATHER BONNETS AND FLOWERS. Dame Fashion now endorses the generally received opinion that for some things there is "nothing like leather." The Philadelphia Gazette says :—"We yesterday were shown ladies' hi:limits made of leatk er. What is more, they are very pretty. In a week or so they will be in market. We also examined verybevitifhl artificial flowers, the oliagla Of Which was of the same material.

Four carts laden each with fifty quintals of gunpowder, for the works of the Malaga railway, had just passed through the village, when suddenly a loud explosion took place, the four vehicles having blown up. Eleven persons—men, women and children and twenty-two horses, lost their lives• A shepherd who was keeping his flock at a short dis tance from the spot was also killed, and nearly the whole of his sheep. THE POWER OF A FIRM RESOLVE. I remember a man in Stafford shire who was drunk every day of hislife. Every farthing he earned went to the ale-house. One evening he staggered borne, and found, at a late hour, his wife sitting alone, and drowned in tears. He was a Mali not deficient in natural affections; he appeared to be struck with the wretchedness of the woman, atid with some eagerness, asked bar why she was crying. "I don't like to tell you, James," she said, "but if I must I must; the truth is, my children have not touch ed a morsel this blessed day. As for me, never mind me; I must leave you to guess how it has fared with me. But not one morsel of food could 1 beg or buy for those children that lie on that bed before you; and I am sure, James, it is better for us all we should die, and to my soul, I wish we were dead !" "Dead !" said James, starting up as if a flash of lightning darted upon him ; "dead Sally ! You, and Mary, and the two little ones dead ! Look ye, my lass, you see what I am now —like a brute. )rave wasted your substance—the curse of God is upon me. lam drawing near the pit of destruction—but, there's an end I feel there's an end. Give me that glass, wife." She gave it to him with astonish ment and fear. He turned it topsy turvy, and striking the bottom with great violence, and flinging himself on his knees, made a most solemn vow to God, of repentance and so-• briety. From that momcnt to the day of his death he drank no fermen ted liquors, but confined himself en tirely to tea and water. I never saw so sudden and astonishing a change. His looks became healthy, his cot tage neat, his children clad, his wife happy; and twenty times the poor man and his wife, with tears in their eyes, have told me the story, and blessed the evening of the 14th of March, the day of James' restora tion and shown me the glass he held in his hand when he made the vow of sobriety. - It is all nonsense about not being able to work without ale, gin, and cider, and fermented liquors. Do lions and cart-horses drink ale ? It is a mere habit THE INSINOERITY OF SOOIAL LIFE. Who is the prophet that shall un cover the abysSes of our acted lives and pour adequate shame on our mu, tual impositions? Smiles on our fa ces. with envy and jealousy under neath ; cordiality in our grasp, with no connecting nerve between the fin gers and the heart; deference in our professions, with no suitable esteem, no genuine respect, no sacred sincer ity; invitations issued with a fraud lurking in their politeness; getting the company together by one false hood; greetings of indiscriminate and extravagant welcome receiving them with another; fashions made up of composite illusions, ornamenting them frith another; and dishonest reo-rettls at the farewell, dismissrng them with another—who will dare to affirm that these do not enter ap pallingly into the staple of what wo call civilized and elegant life ? When is the rugged, truth speaking, Christian time coming; which shall tear open and rend apart these guilty illusions, plant the communion of soul with soul on some pure and just foundation, and restore the social world to its primitive and upright simplicity?—F, D. Huntington. A WOMAN SHOOTS HER BROTHER- 18-LAW. At Franklin, N, IL on Thursday of fast week, a Fren:thmati, named Letouch, was shot by the wife of his brother, and fatally injured. The trouble 'between the two &rallies grew out of a spring of water used by both parties, but which the wo. man claimed .exclusively. Joseph went to the spring to procure some water, when his sister-in-law at tempted to drive him away by throw ing stones at him.

Reports Brought by a Mlssissippi Refugee—Spread of the "Taloa Feellug--Demorallzatlon of the Rebel Armies. MEMPHIS, September 4.—A refugee from Columbus, Miss., has arrived here, who has been in the Quarter master's department of the rebel army. for the past two years and has had more than ordinary means of observing. He states that Johnson loses fifty men per night by deser tion. His army is dispirited and de moralized, and those who have not deserted only wait an opportunity to do so. The rebel officers estimate the number of troops between Co lumbus, Miss., and Corinth . at 7,000. Two regiments of 'Johnson'.artny have been sent to Georgia, and Iwo came up to Oskaloosa recently, to repel the expected Yankeetaid. A re-construction meeting bad been appointed by the Unionists in the vicinity of Columbus, but was suppressed by the military.— There is a strong latent Union feel ing among the inhabitants, which is becoming open and bold in the man ifestation. The citizens regard the rebel troops as oppressors and in vaders, and look anxionsly for the", advance of the Yankees among them. A deserter from Bragg's army has reached here, and states that they are on one third rations, which con sists of beef, rice and corn-meal.— Bragg's headquarters are at Shelby ville, with a force of about twenty five thousand men much dispirited, and anxious to throw down their • arms. The wheat crop throughout the country is good, and the Confeder ate Government is seizing every tenth bushel for taxes. The rebel officers acknowledge that they will be obliged to give up all the country North of the Coosa river, in St glair county. The Union feeling is so strong that secessionists are not al lowed•to stay there. In other sections men ate secreted in swamps and caves, and would join the Federal army but for the danger of capture by the rebels while mak ing their way to our lines. Three hundred deserters are rendzvoused in Winston county, all armed and determined to resist the rebel au thorities to the last. The rebels are conscripting negroes at Tailedga to build brestworks at Selina. These statements are daily confirmed by deserters and refugees, and aro be. lieved to be true. A deserter from Tupelo, formerly orderly to General Furguson, has arrived here and reports that Furgu son was at Tupello and Pontotoc with lour thousand cavalry and ten pieces of art•llery. Also, that Fergu son corLtemplated a raid on the Mem phis and Charleston Railroad, while Roddy is to make an attack on Glen dale, Mississippi, at the same ti me.— .Newco me, with seven hundred men, is near Jackson Tennessee, conscript ing. The sanitary condition of Gen. Hurlbut's corps is good, and the troops aro in tine spirits. General Averlll 9 B Expedition The following report, dated at Hutonsville, Vs., August 30th, has I - .een forwarded by Gen. Averiil to Gen. Kelly have the honor to report the safe return of my com mand to this place, after an expedi tion through the counties of Hardy. Pendleton, Bath, Greensboro, and Pocahontas. We drove Gen. Jackson out of Pocahontas over the Warm Spring Monntians in a series of skirmishes, destroying their salt-pe• tre works, burnt a camp northwest of Pocahontas, and captured a large amount of arms, equipments and stores. We fought a severe engage ment with a superior force under the command of Major General Sam Da. vis and Col, Patton, at Rocky Gap, near the White Sulphur Springs.— The battle lasted during two days.-- We drove the enemy from his first position, but the want of ammuni tion, and the .arrival on the second day, of three regiments to reinforce the enemy from the direction whence the co-operation Of Gen. Scamruon had been promised, decided me to withdraw my command. Our loss in the battle was proba bly Over 100 officers and men killed and wounded, among whom are Capt. Paul and Baron Von Hoenig, and Dr. Camp killed while leading an as sualt on the enemy's right. and Ma jor McNally, of the 2nd Virginia, and Capt. Swing, of the artillery, danger ously wounded. I have reason to believe the enemy's loss greater than ours. One Parr itt gun burst the first day, and becoming worthless, was abandoned. Great efforts, up to noon to day, have been made by the combined forces of Imboden and Jackson to prevent (Mr return, but without success. We have brought in over 30 prisoners, including a Ma jor and tyro or three Lieutenants ; also a large• number of cattle and horses. The, list of viotir-e at 44w rence, as it now stands, foots up one hundred and thirty-seven killed, twenty-tsto • wounded, and three missing., It is' thotight the killod will reach as as 'one huridred and kV.

A PREDIOTION FULFILLED. Henry Laurens was President of the Continental Congress in 1779.—' In 1780 he was sent as Minister to Holland. On his way ho was cap tured, and imprisoned in the Tower of London for fourteen months.— When Lord Shelburne became Pre mier, Laurens was brought up on habeas corpus, and released. After his release he was treated with great kindness and respect by the British authorities. He dined with Lord Shelburne. After dinner the con versation turned on the separation of the two countries. Lord Shelburne remarked : "I am sorry for your people."— "Why so ?" asked Laurens. "They will lose the habeas corpus," was the reply. "Lose the habeas corpus?" said Laurens. " Yes," said Lord Shelburne. "We purchased it with centuries of wrangling, many years of fighting, and had it confirmed by at least fifty acts of Parliament. All this taught the nation its value, and it is so grained into their creed, us the very foundation of their liberty, that no man or party will ever dare to trample on it. Your people will pick it up and attempt to use it ; bat, having cost them nothing, they will nut know how to appreciate it. At the first great internal fued that you have the majority will trample upon it, and the people will permit it to be done, and so will go you'• liberty!' —Published Journal of Henry Lau rens. It is enough to make the cheek of every American tinge with shame for the Englishman's prediction has been verified. The people have suPr. ed an Administration to disregard the habeas corpus and trample upon their liberty. "WAR DEMOORATS. The Abolitionists, who used to ridicule Democrats as " Union. Savers," took to themselves the ti tle of " Union" men, and called their party a "Union" party to make it popular. But having rendered that designation almost as odious as was their late name of" Republican," they have hit upon a new dodge— that of calling themselves Demo crats—" War Democrats." They are holding meetings all over the country and styling them Coitven- Mons of , "War Democrats." The speeches made and the resolutions at these meetings betray the voice and the ears of the real Abolition animal. Wait a little, and we shall probably soon hear these same Abo lition "War Democrats" swearing that they are bona fide "Peace Demo crats." Warn is only a little more than a year—July 6.186`,---since Mr. Sew ard, as Secretary of State, wrote to Mr. Adams, our Minister to England as follows: "It seems as if the extreme advo cates of African slavery and its most vehement opponents were acting in concert together to precipitate a servile war—the former by making the most desperate attempt to over throw the Federal Union, to latter by demanding an edict of universal etnancipation,.us lawful and neces sary, if not, .as they say, the only le gitimate way of saving tElt Union."

NEW SERIES.--VOL. .5, NO. 164 A CAPITAL SPEECR HON, SAMUEL S. HAYES OF ILLINOIS, PORTLAND, MAIN.E., August 10th, 18163. Mr. Hayes was serenaded at the Preble House by a large assemblage of the Democrats of Portland. Af ter the band had played several airs, he was introduced to the audience, with some preliminary remarks, by Hon. D. D. M. Sweat, the merabsy ofVongress from th e' drstrict, *lee be spoke as follows : Fellow Democrats : In common with other the extur sionista from Detroit, Milwatikee and Chicago, most of whom have now left you, I shall-bear with me to my distant hopie a lasting remem brance of the kindness, the courte sy, and the boundless 'hospitality of the people of Portland. [cheers.l— this exhibition of gpod will, this compliment from you, my' political friends, fills me with emotions' that 1 cannot find words to exprtiss. 1 can on!y return you .my profound' thanks for the honor; although I know it is no merit of mine, a stranpr as 1 am, but the brother hood of a sacred cause, the cause of the Constitution, the Union, aud.the liberties of our country, to which Democrats everywhere are sworn, that thus meets our recognition.— [Great cheering, with interruption, and shouts of disapproval from a large number of Abolitionists siland ing together in a part of the crowd.] 1 presume you expect from me some remarks upon the political is sues which are now shaping them selves in this gloomy atmosphere of civil war. Those issues, lately dim and shifting, are becoming more dis tinct. Two years ago we thought we had done with politics—at least till the close of the rebellion. The cannon ade of Sumter awokg us to arms.—'• Its thunder met in mid air, from Casco Bay to San Francisco, from Canada to Virginia, in every valley, and on every hillside ; by the, angry shouts of a united 'people, -deter mined, at , every hazard of flilliP and fortune, to crush a wicked rebellion, and punish the conspirators who hid hatched it into being. [Ap plause.] Party ties and party creeds were forgotten. Republicans pledged themselves to throw aside their par ty platform, and Democrats to sup port a Republican Administration in a war for the Conititation and the Union.
