Heard it With lllu Kiiruuinl n I’lere of It Seitrlv I>rn|i|ieil on Him—Mr. II. I>. Htrattou'N Ursuhle Latter to Mr. IVilllnm Cook. Mr. Wm. Cook, of this city, has received a letter from Mr. H. D. Stratton, of Colum bus, written from Charleston. It contains some graphic descriptions of the ruin wrought. He writes! •‘After leaving Columbus I found I could come by Charleston, spend sixteen hours here, and reach Jacksonville by Sunday noon. I did it and 1 am glad I came. I never expect to see such a pitiful picture of wreck and desolation again. I know all the papers are Ailing their columns with the details. But they can’t exagerate It. They can’t describe it truthfully. “I believe I saw fully 2000 brick build ings which were damaged to the extent of $2500 or more each. Street after street is blocked with the debris and bricks and timbers. The illustrated napers have r#p- resentatives here. An artist from one of them is writing, or rather drawing, at the same table with me. He has just folded a dozen sketches and mailed them. In one pile I saw three four-story stores lying prone together. It is useless for me to try to enumerate. Some few buildings look sound outside. The wooden buildings have lost their chimneys. Many verandas have fallen. “Nearly all houses that were on pillars two feet high or more are shifted on their foundations. I saw some shifted Ave inches or more. Inside the buildings the ceiling and plastering has fallen. I saw one two-story wooden building that was careened four feet out of plumb. The peo ple are demoralized. Some are trying to do business, but it starts slow. “The women seem sadder than anybody else. They all, have such sober, sorrowful looks on their faces. Poor creatures! A woman without a home is indeed to be pitied. There is a funeral air per vading the entire city—wreck I ought to say. And it is not to be wondered at. Who ever heard of such a funeral since Pompeii was embalmed in its own ashes? Certainly not in modern times. Here are 65,000 people, many of them representing the elite of the 6outh, living,like Gypsies or Arabs and camping about the tomb of Carolina’s ouee match less metropolis. The tents are the most cuiioU8 sight of all. There are at least four thousand of them all over the city. They are in every shape and of every ma terial imaginable. In some squares the tents are so thick and close together that it appears impossible to pass between them. They are even erected in yards and in the streets. It seems to me about three- fourths of these tenters are negroes, but there are many of the best society people in tents. In one park to-night I saw two ice wagons turned into sleeping bunks. Street care, ’busses, box cars and every thing that an earthquake can’t get a hold on to shake to pieces, are used for sleeping purposes and are regularly slept in. * * * I’ll now return, though my hand is ner vous. Just as I wrote the word “in” in the last sentence,there was a grinding roar and jar. All the people in the Charleston hotel, where I am writing this, ran into the street. I went along, too. I was at a window near the sidewalk. But it was all over in a moment, and I was the Arst to return to the building and resume writing. So I have had a shake here also. The heavy cornice over the veranda of this hotel fell to the sidewalk last night. The clerk gave me room 85 on the third floor; so if you don’t hear from me during the next ten days you can come and look for me under where that roof was. “Charleston is a much larger city than I had supposed. It is way ahead of Savan nah or Atlanta in the number of its busi ness houses, and it has many lines of street railways. The streets are nearly all paved. The city water works are sup plied by two artesian wells, which are 1950 feet deep and flow 400 gallons of water a minute each. I send you a piece of lime calcimine, which was shaken from the plaster in a room adjoining mine. By ex amining the sand side you can see it had a good hold, and it must have taken a very hard shock to loosen such a light, thin piece. I saw a small monu ment in the cemetery that was moved fully five inches. It takes shaking to do such work as that. Plenty 'of them were toppled over, but this one stood, and had only received a sliding movement. All along the railroad you see sand-spews, or sand and blue mud, that comes right up through the ground anywhere. In some places there is a bucketful; in others a car load. They appear'in the middle of the track, and all over it, and up on the high hill sides they look as if they bad been poured on the ground. No cracks are visi ble. Large ponds are fllied by this mud, while close beside them are other ponds of Clearwater. The last of this I saw was thirty-seven miles out ofCharleston. ItIVHit SHIVS.

Our (jurrespnnilanl Moralizes on the KiulHiiimke lVInil Has Hcecme of “Ilnstleiis:" Correspondence Enquirer-Sun. Fortson, Ga., September 7.—We have not seen anything from Rustieus about farming in a long, long time. We were hoping that he was going to make a regular correspondent ofthe Enquirer-Sun and teach us farmers many valuable lessons. But doubtless he told all that he knew about farming, and a great deal more than he knew from actual experience. It is a great pity that the only man who knows anything about farming is always engaged in some other business. Well, the earthquake shocks have passed off and we are all quiet again. It made us feel really solemn to heat the farm bell ring from the shock last Tuesday night, and to know that it was touched alone by the divine hand, and that it was doubtless tolling the death of a people somewhere. Certainly “there is but a step between me and death.” But we are just as near to death at any moment as the people of Charleston were last Tuesday night, if we only could realize it, but we can’t. It is useless, however, to entertain fears about what is beyond the power of human beings to control or to foretell. One of our neighbors has a great hobby that the world is coming to an end soon, and that he will live to see it. I want to tell him that he doesn’t know a bit more about that than I do, and what I know is not worth telling; it is simply nothing at all. I suppose that the twelve apostles looked anxiously for the end of the world, and people have been predicting it ever since the time of Christ. But one thing is and Wisconsin give the promise of about, one-half the usual yield. The reports indi cate that the pastures arc rapidly -trying up, nlthough in portions of Illinois and Iowa late rains have served to renew the grass somewhat. Early planted potatoes are generally good, tint late planted are poor and in many districts a flat failure. The hogs are generally reported good, with only scattering cases of cholera as yet.

Memphis, September 7.—The regular monthly cotton reports of the Memphis district, which embraces east Tennessee, north Mississippi, north Arkansas and north Alabama, to be published to-morrow by Messrs. Hill & Fontaine, will say: The weather during August has not been most favorable to cotton, although a majority of our correspondents report it much more favorable than last June. The wet weather which prevailed in June left the plant in poor condition to withstand the drouth,and the warm, dry weather which extended from early in July to about the middle of August caused material shed ding, and there is a genera! complaint of injury to the plant throughout the entire district from this cause, together witli rust, which is also generally complained of except in Mississippi, where the out come of the crop is noted most favorably. Seasonable showers fell during the last two weeks of August, and there has been a marked improvement in the crop since that period. Tne plant is reported as being umisunlly heavily fruited, and in a majority of cases is retaining its squares and bolls. Of 310 responses 226 report the crop in a better condition than last year, which is fair indications of bright prospects for a full average yield within the district. Picking has begun in some few localities, but will not become general throughout the state until about September 18. Not withstanding the damage reported, the in dications are thiit, with a fair season and a late frost the yield of this district will ex ceed those of the past three years. DAILY COTTON STATEMENT.
