TBIUUKIC EARTHQUAKE AT MYTELENE—OVER
A THOUSAND LIVES LOST—UE.VUYRRNDINU
SCENES.
On Tlmreday, tlic Otli, the weather had been
dose ami unwbolesomelv hot; but ns this Is
generally tho case with the South wind, which
had been blowing for some time, nothing was
thought of it—least of nil was there nny Sear of
what followed. Though •volcanic, as is proved
by the numerous hot springs, the island had not,
during the present generntion, been visited by
earthquake; it was now, however, to have a
terrible experience of the phenomenon. About
n p. in., a sharp shock, lastiug some fifteen or
eighteen seconds, vibrated throughout tho town,
nut! before the fact wus well realized, was fol
lowed by a second, longer and much more vio
lent one. 1 happened at the moment to be down
at tho pier of tho Austrian Lloyd's agency, and
nearly halt a minute before the shock was felt
un shore saw tho sea heave and foam out in the
port ns If a submarine explosion had taken
place. Little time, however, was left for sur
prise. In much less time than I take to write it,
the double thrill quivered through the town, and,
reeling like drunken men, whole blocks of solid
stone houses collapsed as if they had been card
houses. The offices of the agency, and-nearly
all the adjoining buildings, including the Custom
House, the llghthouso office, and the large oil
mill, thus fell. Up in town entire streets simi
larly crumbled, burying their inhabitants by
hundreds In the ruins. The fine old castle, the
cathedral, the Governor’s konak, tho prison, the
mosques, and, 1 believe, all tho consular resi
dences, more or less yielded to the violence o(
tlic shock, and are, for tho most part, mere heaps
of ruins. The very solidity with which tiro
own was built has aggravated tire disastrous
Heels ol the calamity a hundredfold, both
as regards tho loss of and destruction of pro
perty. The most complete ruin lias fallen
ipon the lower part of the town, where
e earth literally opened and swallowed
broad belt ol buildings right up from the
■ea to the slope inland. At this point a per-
uanent subsidence of the ground has taken place,
ind the sea has accordingly encroached far into
vlmt on Thursday afternoon was one of the
usiest parts of Mytelene. In fact, to sum up
he disaster, more than half of our beautiful
own—the prettiest and most lively, perhaps, of
ill the Levant—is a desert of ruins. The worst
aurt of our calamity is, of course, the loss of
ile. As yet we can only guess at the extent ol
liis; hut it is thought that from 800 to 1,000
jave perished, while as many more have been
naimed and wounded in every way. Up till
0 day 120 bodies have, I hear, been uug out of
lie safer ruins; but how many may bo buried
aider others which are too dangerous to be ap
proached can only be surmised. Such of the
Louses as are still standing have been abandoned,
ind the whole surviving population is now scat-
ered over the hill-sides and among the gardens
mlside tha town—a lew of them under such
■overs as they have been able to improvise, and
lie rest bivouacking without shelter of any kind.
Aay attempt to describe the scene would be usc-
Heart-rending grief, panic, and confusion
neet the eye on every side. Already the want
1 provision is aggravating the distress, and only
speedy supply from Smyrna or the capital can
Invert great additional loss of life. One of the
[Austrian Lloyd’s steamers, and a French gun
boat from Smyrna, have landed a quantity of
biscuit and some other stores, but in all not, per
haps, more than a day’s food for tlic place. It is
earnestly to be hoped that tho Porte will at once
send down tents, biscuits, aud whatever other
stores can be quickest got together. But not the
town of Mytelene alone has sullercd from this
great calamity ; it lias scattered ruin and death
throughout the whole Northern part of the
lisland. Hardly n village has escaped, nnd not
[merely property, but life lias been destroyed in
[nearly the whole. Molivo has been ail but en-
[lirely demolished, aud several hundreds of its
[li OOO or 7,000 inhabitants have, it is said, per-
] islied in the ruins. It is, in fact, no exaggeration
[to say that half the island has been laid waste,
| with a sacrifice of human life that may be rcck-
|nued by thousands. No such disaster has ever
| befallen Mytelene.

A ItlouRtroim Fiend.
In the New York Herald correspondence from
I Vera Cruz describing the evacuation by the
I French, we find tlic following pen portrait of
of the carnivorous mercenaries who have
| s ipported the claims of the Austrian Archduke
.the Mexican crown:
Colonel Dupin, who has been in command ot
| Vera Cruz, sailed to day for France on tlic
learner Floride. Ilis departure from Mexico in
| a tolerably healthy condition should be a matter
| ol much exultation to himself, for a guilty con
science must have warned him long since that
I lie deserved a most horrible death in expiation
I ut' the sickening, ghastly crimes which lie lias
I committed. The life of an innocent, ignorant
] Mexican he lias frequently blotted out with tho
I most astounding unconcern; nnd during the few
I years that he has campaigned in Mexico he lias
notoriously glutted himself with human blood.
| lilne Beard among his wives was a saint com
pared with Coinn-i Dupin among tlic Mexicans,
it is stated on what would appear as good au-
I tliority that the leur of assassination overtaking
] lam before he should escape from .Mexico induced
I him to secrete himself at night under his bed,
I which an innocent French soldier occupied to
I receive tho dagger should it bu struck. Cruel
| and infamous, bis gray hairs should not protect
[him from the nbhorent contumely of man nnd
[the hurried judgment of an avenging God. For
Ibis crimes in the East Napoleon felt it his duty
Ito poor human nature to disown and punish him,
land accordingly dismissed him from the French
■army. His suppliant adherence to his master
■(Napoleon) alter an independent service in coti-
Itra-gucrrilla forces of this country, lias resulted
lin Ins being reinstated in the French a way, al-
lthough his excess of cruelty here is said to sur-
|pasa any in his previous history. He has a
■peculiar fondness for everything which has the
■ring ol the golden metal. He even carried in
Ibis hand in Vera Cruz a walking-stick, said to
llmve belonged to Iturbidc, which Tie took from a
lliacienda between Tampico and Victoria. It is
liieavily mounted with the precious metal. God
only knows the number of innocent men who
llmve suffered death in tho dungeons of San
Juan de Ulloa. It Is known that under his
Orders many, for the slightest offonse, have been
jent there and disappeared forever. His lustful
(fondness for the sex makes the most disgusting
senile roue. He returns to France to run out ilia
[remaining very few years, and drop into the
^nethermost pit terrified by phantoms of remorse.
Tale of a Rattlesnake.
I During the summer months rattlesnakes gen-
Icrally go about in pairs, so that if one is killed
lihe hunter had best look out for another. This
lliubil is not conflucd to tlic rattlesnake. Most
venomous species observe the same rule. A ne-
ero slave in 9t. Domingo once took advantage
[ill it to perpetrate a moat foul crime. The nc-
1 i had joined a conspiracy to revolt, but being
Suspected of lukewarmness in tho cause, was
aimmandcd to destroy his master’s only dnugh-
tr, as a proot of his zeal, or suffer death lilin-
Kli The rascal accomplished the deed without
attracting the least suspicion towards himself
■He discovered the haunt of a pair of deadly
Jsunkes, and by means of those arts peculiar to the
|balf-savage race, enticed them to the neighboi -
Ihood Of the house. He then Informed his man
lier that he had reason to believe that there wus
venomous reptile in the neighborhood. A
Ire ward was oliered lor its destruction, which was
■gained by the negro hiinselt, who killed the fe-
I in Ale snake the following morning. His cour-
luge and devotion were highly complimented by
[the planter, and an additional reward given by
|tlie daughter of the planter.
The moment the negro was unobserved he set
| to work to emmilcle tils plans. He dragged the
Ibody of the dead snake along the ground, through
the Ipmse into the young lady’s bed room, nnd
allowed it to remain for some lew minutes be
tween the sheets on the bed. This done, he
concealed the snake about his body, and carried
it to a distance. Night came, and tho surviving
snake began to seek its mate. The scent was
mill on the ground, and the reptile followed it
iqi to the door, and then glided across the ball
to Hie chamber of the planter’s daughter. I lie
Hail was quite warm; the snake worked its way
beneath the coverlet to the place where the
other had been; and when the unfortunate girl
moved her hand in her sleep to brush it irom tier
neck, the fangs of the enraged reptile were In
stantly buried iu her throat. The deep sleep
produced by a sultry heat was upon her, and
she awoke no more. When the parents visited
their child iu the morning, an offensive putrid
mass ol corruption, iu which they could hardly
recognize the loved countenance, was all that
met their gaze.
From tins New York Times.
The Distorting Hooln.
A COMMON SCENE IN OCR MEDICAL COLLEUKS.
Tho student in anatomy is introduced into a
loug dissocting hall—well ventilated and lightod
Irom the root. An array of tables, numbering
perhaps two dozen, stretches around the hall-
each with a slanting surface covered with nine.
Subjects are provided by parties regularly em
ployed lor that purpose—who, notwithstanding
tho safety of their trade, still prefer to make it
the business ol the night. These subjects are
brought from the island which New York uses
as the Potter’s Field, and are the remains of pau
pers, criminals aud those unfortunate women who
form so largo a class in city life. They aro con
veyed into the reception room, and eacli one in
jected with an antiseptic, containing zinc, mer
cury, or arsenic mixed with plaster of Paris, and
the whole mixture colored to a tint of red. The
aorta is opened and the arteries filled in a similar
manner by means ot a large and powerful sy
ringe. After this preparation the body will re
sist decomposition from two to six weeks. As
soon as laid on the table a class of five students
attack tho subject, one assuming tlic head, and
each of the others working at one of tlic limbs.
In order to assist in tho tracing ot arteries tho
latter are sometimes injected with melted Wax
tinted with different colors, thus bringing out
the exquisite ramifications. Wc are aware that
some may consider this a repulsive employment,
and yet there is great pleasure in pursuing anato
mical investigations, and all sense of tlfe horri
ble is lost in the value and importanne of the
study.
With respect to the appearance ol the subjects,
it may be premised that they are not striking il
lustrations ot human beauty. On the other hand
they arc generally the vilest, lowest and most un
favorable specimens of the race. They aro the
victims of famino or ot exhausting disease, orate
those who pined away in weary senility. Occa
sionally some robust form still bears evidence of
a life of crime, and the scowl of abject depravity
yet lingers upon the debased countenance. With
these, however, are sometimes contrasted young
and delicate shapes, which suggest, the history ol
eurly shame and a career of misery, suddenly
changing from the gaudy saloons ot splen
did vice to this chnrncl-house of science. On
one occasion oi this kind the students were
seen to cluster with looks of deep compassion
around one whose life, just entering on blasted
womanhood, Imd been terminated by sudden
death. Her leet and hands were small and
white, tier hair fell iu curls about her neck, and
in her features there lingered the traces of for
mer beauty. What was her history V What a
volume could have been written of life’s battles,
temptations, and miseries, if those lips could
have told their story. It was a spectacle which
recalled the sympathetic lines of one of the bards
of sorrow;
Not of the stniue
All that remains of her
Now Is pore, womanly."
The dissecting room of an afternoon is an in
teresting scene. A hundred young men may be
seen, mostly clad in black cotton gowns, sitting
on high stools around the slanting tables, and
using forceps nnd scalpel as occasion may re
quire, laying baro the muscle, tracing arteries,
or investigating nerves. A few meerschaums re
lieve the heavy atmosphere by the flavor of to
bacco, and a noisy hum fills the hall; occasion
ally breaking out into laughter as some joke en
livens the quiet pursuit of science. One may lie
whistling in a low key, another humming a
snatch of familiar song. The opera may bo
criticised over a decomposed arm, while the topic
with another will be the party he attended last
night, and the bouquet offered to some beauty
by a hand that now, like Lear's, "smells of mor
tality.” Every little while the various lecture
bells are heard, and there is a running in and
out in obedience to this important summons.—
Visit the same spot at a later hour, when dark
ness and solitude invest it with their solemn
mantle. All is still. There is no one there but
yourself and the dead. A dim gas burner throws
a ray sufficient to show the nature and surround
ings of the scene—or perhaps tho moon shining
through the broad window lights up the ghastly
faces that yet retain their natural covering, giving
a still more fearful aspect to the half denuded
skulls that lie around. There is then in this dis
secting theater much that is sad, and fearful, and
revolting; hut it also 1ms a tinge ol the roman
tic—perhaps it might be added the poetic. In
such a place Edgar A. Poe might have caught a
fresh inspiration, nnd Hawthorne found a new
idea to work up in his wierd and harrowing style.

Singular Discovery of a Tronniure-Trovc.
A singular discovery ol a treasure-trove has
been made on the sea-beach midway between
Seaton nnd Carew and West Hartlepool, Eng
land. In consequence of a very boisterous sea
roiling on the coast, all the surface sand has
been washed from the beach for upwards of a
mile on the West Hartlepool sands, and layers
of peat and gravel are now exposed, in the
midst of which the discovery has been made.
On a Sunday afternoon a fortnight ago some
workingmen were walking along the beach, and
being astonished at the unusual appearance of
the surface by the deposited' a quantity of peat,
curiousity prompted them to turn over a portion
of it with their walking sticks, aud they dis
closed several coins, winch were embedded in
the pent. The coins were quite black, but on
being subjected to a little rubbing they discover
ed they were Spanish silver dollars, about tho
size ot an English crown piece. A further
search was made and a large number were
found, but as the tide approched the scene ol
their labor they had to desist until the water
receded. In the meantime a report of the
discovery spread about the town, and hundreds
ot persons flocked down on the beach to search
for the treasure. Some persons are repot ted to
havo obtained ninety or one hundred of the
dollars.
Altogether several hundreds, if not thousands
of the coinB have been recovered, hut as persons
aro generally not over willing to acknowledge
the number they lrnve found, a proper estimate
can hot bo made. The coins are of the reign of
Carolus tlic third or toutli, dated from 1720 to
to 1804, and are in a good Btate of preservation.
Some gold coins, a gold crucilix and gold ring
have alse been picked up embedded amongst
the peat. The deposit of so many coins at this
place is accounted for by the fact that in the
year 1829 a vessel called the “Duck,” of Lon
don, came ashore at this particular spot. The
wreck was purchased by Messrs. Sheraton,
Whitlock and Thompson, and when it was
broken to pieces about three hundred pounds
wortli of Spanish dollars were found concealed
in the timber of the ship. The vessel had
formerly been engaged in the slave trade, and
belonged to a Spanish port, but she was captured
by an English man-of-war, and afterwards sold
to a gentlemen at Wool rich.
The Wlrx Tracedy-A.louiidlni: Kcvela-
tlon.
The Richmond correspondent of Hie Now York
World communicates the following, which, il
true, may well be regarded as highly important:
It is, perhaps, not generally known tlmt during
the incarceration of Wirz and Major Winder in
the Capitol Prison, they occupied adjoining cells,
nnd enjoyed facilities of communication, one to
the other, by word or writing, through an nper-
lure not observed, doubtless, by the jailor. No
one was permitted to see either, unless by special
privilege from the Secretary of War. ^ On tho
night previous to the execution of Wirz three
men entered his cell, of course by permission ol
Stanton, and proposed to him, thut if lie would
agree to implicate Jeff. Davis in the alleged con
spiracy to starvo tho Northern prisoners confined
at Andersonville, his lile would be spared. Wirz
replied that he would not save his own lile by
sacrificing that of nuolher innocent man. The
parties thereupon left the cell, and YVirz imme
diately communicated all that transpired to Maj.
Winder. The Major some time alter-met Mrs.
Davis in New York, and revealed to her what is
here staled, backing it by an affidavit, which he
gave her, and which she now bolds. 1 lie trial of
Davis would involve revelations which would,
shock humanity, and test to its fullest whatever
sense of Justice or feeling ol national pride is still
left at the North. It is not unreasonable to pre
sume that popular indignatiou would be aroused
to u pitch that would render it unsafe for the con-
coctors of the vile plans devised to secure the
sacrifice of Davis’ life, to prolong their residence
among a people whose fame and character they
so grossly outraged.
