Charleston, September 7. — A very slight earthquake shook, lasting live sec onds, was felt here at 11:42 o’clock this : morning. Charleston, September 7.—This has been a quiet day, as there has only been one shake since Sunday night, and that I shake ito-dav) tvas not worse than would I be caused anywhere by the passing of a heavily laden wagon. Evidently tiie sub terranean disturbances are working them- ' selves out, nmi hour by hour more thought Is given to the needs of the present and wants of the future. There is a feeling of sturdy reliance that is highly encouraging. Ko one doubts the ability to pull through. The pluck of the people rises beyond the i height of the occasion, and Mayor Courte nay’s return, too, this morning puts every body in better spirits. Long belore the ! usual office hours he was hard at work systematizing and arranging relief meas ures and ascertaining on bis own account, the extent of the calamity. One of his first steps was to constitute as a relief com mittee a joint committee of the chamber of commerce, merchants’ exchange and cotton exchange appointed by the city council, and the several exchanges are represented on the committee, and .Mayor i Courtenay will be chairman. At the meeting of the First Presbyterian church this morning It was unanimously resolved to make a general appeal for aid I to the Presbyterian churches of the eoun- j try. Their beautiful building is a total ruin and the congregation is impoverished, and contributions can be forwarded to ' Rev. W. T. Thompson, D. D., pastor. The appeal of the colored ministers to the people of the United States for means of relief for the colored people in distress was .wholly unnecessary. The relief comniittee ‘treat the funds at their command as subscribed for the benefit of the whole community, and as it was given without distinction of race, color or condi tion, so will it be expended. Up to this time more accommodations have been pro vided for colored refugees than for the whites, and in issuing rations the commit tee are no respecters of persons. This lias been demonstrated, and the expectation is that the colored ministers will be willing to co-operate with the general committee instead of acting on t heir own account. FREAKS. Pedestrians in their wandering:, through the ruins to-day discovered many new and interesting freaks of the quake. Some of them were found at the residence of Mr. J. H. Robinson, a well-known citizen. The building was badly wrecked in some places, while in others it seemed to have, escaped injury. In one bed room of the house the strangest freak imaginable took •place. On one side of the chamber oil paintings were thrown from the wall with such force as to destroy the canvas and ! crush the frames, while on the mantel piece, a few feet away, in the same | room stood a slender, tall vase, which re tained its perpendicular. On another wall in the room two or three small photo graphs in frames were left undisturbed, ; while within three feet of them the plas- j tering was, as it were, wrenched off and ground into dust, and the scantling upon which the lathing was nailed was torn out of its place. A lounge was hurled across the room and broken to pieces, while chairs a few feet away were not even overturned. In some places a gate post on one side of an entrance was twisted off, while the other post, three or four feet distant, was neither loosened nor cracked. The old magazine in Cumberland street, a building constructed of brick, stone and concrete in the eighteenth century, which stood as a monument among the landmarks of 1 Nv city, having weathered three wars and the many earthquakes and cyclones of the country in its time, and which curried in its waft n shell from a British gun. tired during the revolution—a building which the oldest inhabitant believed could not be destroyed by any earthquake which did not engulf the city—is in ruins.
