A friend in Amcricns, Trader date of Son- day, writes ns as follows: “In reading the Constitution and Sumter Republican, I notice in the Eberhart hanging cose the statement that she died easy, while your paper states differently. For your bet ter information on this I desire to state that I have shown both reports to half a dozen of the most intelligent persons present at the hanging, and all givo me the assurance that your report was the only correct one, and that she struggled so terribly they could hardly look at her.” Our correspondent goe3 on to state that the reason why the fact of the terrible struggles of the convict having been suppressed was to prevent the sheriff being blamed. It seems that at the request of Susan Eberhart the rope was slacked around her neck, and that it slipped when she fell, thus preventing her r.eck breaking and causing her to tuffer frightfully. It appears to us that all the blame that could have been placed upon the sheriff would have been his kind-hear tod ness in yielding to her request, and the public would have readily forgiven him, if there was anything to forgive. The gentleman who reported tbe execution for the Herald, sent us a very graphic and ad mirable account—as noticeable for its vivid description of the sad scene, as for its truth fulness. It was, unquestionably, the most interesting report of the execution sent from Americas, and has attracted so much atten tion. that the demand for the issue contain ing it had not ceased up to yesterday morn ing. All onr readers will, we are sure, unite with ns in thanking “A. H. * for tbe very able and even brilliant manner in which he performed the sad duty imposed upon him. PERSONAL INTELLIGENCE, Major II.

BURNING OF SIX WOODEN SHOPS CN PEACHTREE STREET: Ilnpiri Spread of tlie Flames. Loss about Six Thousand Dollars. At about Ion minute* pa:t one o'clock, officer Hol land, who had just lit his lamps acd taken a seat on a bench, suddenly perceived a light arising from tbe centre of a row of six framed buildings, situated on Peachtree, opposite the jnnetion of that street with Broad. The fire seems to have originated in tbe shop occu pied by a Mr. Davis, as a confectionary and toy t islabliahment. Officer Holland immediately gave the alarm, but although the fire engine* ■■ prompt in arriving at the scene, tbe dry, vroll seat soned lumber which composed tbe buildings caught with inconceivable rapidity, and in a few minutes the entire row was in flames, lightning np the street for blocks with their lurid glare. There was, of course some delay in getting up steam and as the wind was brisk it fsnned the flames, so that when the first stream of water was brought to hear tbs lire by So. 1 engine the shops were already too far gone to be saved. The second store to catch fire was that occupied by A. Rich, and containing a miscellaneous stock. Then followed tlio shop occupied by Mr. Brockman, in with h vegetables, market produce, etc., were sold. Next went a liquor saloon by Mr. Fife; theu an empty shop, and last of all a two story framed building occupied by Mr. Guntz, furniture dealer. By bard work the flyemen succeeded in keeping the flames confined to the frame building a The windows of the brick store north of the fire, occupied by Mr. Terhunc, caught, but the flames were promptly ex tinguished and the edifice saved. Os the south side the large brick boose occupied by Gay, McCteaky Co., adjoining Guntz’a furniture shop, was in 1mm i.ent danger for some time, but two well directed streams of water from Tallulah and No. 1, aided its massive brick walls, kept the flames in check. Notwitustanding the number of shops destroyed, the loss, including tbe buildings, will not exceed six thousand dollars, as the stocks were of small value, all the dealers, being engaged in the retail business. At this writing wc are unable to learn to whet extent, soy, tbe losers were insured. The destruction of the frame buildings will not bo a lose to the city, as, conseqnenceof their inflammable material, they were source of danger to tbe adjacent valuable brick build ings. As we go to press the fire le completely under cod trol and two streams of water are playing upon tbe blazing pd e * of lumber which cover the mte of the de atroyed shops. A Hard Case. 1 A number of persons crossing the bridge, on their J ctam from the Are, perceived s one-legged man lying flat ou his beck in the centre et the bridge, with his crutch lying near by. Borne of the humanely inclined stopped sad asked him if he was sick. At first he made bo respouse. One of the good Samaritans shook him by the shoulder '•Well, exclaimed a deep, guttural voice, end the prostrate form stirred. "Are you sick?” inquired the good Samaritan in f touching tone of solicitude. "Sick,” replied one leg, with s voice of disgust. ••What Is the matter with you then?” "Don’t you see I’m lying on tbe bridge you G—- d fool,” responded the legless sosker, rising to a sitting posture. The good Samaritan heaved s sigh and departed. A Rochester, New York, woman worked three hours to throw the freshet ont of the window as fast as it came in under the door, but she finally gave it up in disgust. M.

The Peruvians have not re turned and decided to have a look for themselves at the ground which Captain Selfridge bas gone over. The boundary dispute between Venezuela and Co lumbia is still unsettled and threatening. Slight shocks of tbe rocent earthquake arc still felt. At San Salvador, tbe government palace, which sur vived the great shock which laid the city in ruins, has since given way. A great many people had been in jured and many lost their reason. It is doubtful whether the authorities will permit their determina tion to rebuild the capitoi on the same site. Messrs.

It is feared that others are under the ruins. Bodies were found six miles bolow. Loss about ninety. LATEB. Every house in the city is ia mourning. Several of the lnjared have died. Derricks are being erected to lift the wreck. When the full loss of life has been as- tertained, it is thought many persons from the coun try around, not reported missing, will swell the loss terribly. Tbe bridge was torn and broken, and hangs from the piers, and Is an aspalling sight in itself. At each end of tbe bridge men, women and children were crushed into the shore, while at the north end, where the loss of was greatest, the bodies were actually held firmly to the bottom of the river in a network iron. Mrs. Daniel Scheney, who it was feared was fatally in jured is now better. Charles Murray fractured a bone of bis leg and collar bone, and received a severe flesh wound, but is doing well this morning. Mrs Murray is also comfortable and better. Mrs. Ella Campbell, of Danetown, was severely injured, but is doing well. There were feveral buggies on tbe bridge, but strange to sty. no one in tbe vehicles were injured, and the horses also escaped. William Hillock's horse and wagon are still on the bridge and food for the horse has to be carried to it. Jacob Armstrong, jr., went down in the crash, and was compelled to crawl on tbe bottom of the river to get out from under the sidewalk of tbe bridge; but being an athletic man, saved himself, and helped to, rescue several. Charles' McBride saved many lives. Colonsl H. J. Nole made a narrow escape; holield Mrs. Smith’s little child and went down with it, came up, and saved the little girl, and barely saved himself. Mrs. Noble was sev eral feet from her husband, but he could not reach her in the fall, because there was a mass of human beings between them. Tony Brant, a boy of eight years, clung to a plank, and was picked up safe half a mile below. Edwar J Patrick leaped into the water aud saved sev eral lives. William Darly, with noble energy, 6aved many lives. Among these was a woman on a plank whom he pushed ashore. He then pulled off his coat and boots and swam to Doctor Hoffman, who was on tbe bar ba’f way to tbe railroad bridge, and rescued hfin. Mr. Dsuniler saved several lives. Fred L. Paw saved five or six persons. Henry Wood- cut swam boldly into deep water and rescued many. There were several bodies taken from the river as far down as below the Railroad Bridge. The body of Fred Hope was found floating near a mile down the river this morning. All those reported missing are probably in the net work of the bridge, at tbe bot tom of the river. After night, through work under the superintendence of J. C. Jacobs, of the Illinois Central Railroad, who rendered much assistance, the derrick wxa erected, and it is hoped by this morning the iron work will be lifted, so that tbe bodies can be recovered. It is feared that the extent of the calamity is not yet learned, for there may bare been many on the bridge from tbe country also, whoso names had not been obtained. When the bridge gave way most of the people gathered at either end, though a large number the centre, and some of the latter remained where they were after the crash and were taken off in boats. Several persons jumped from the precarious resting; place and were drawn sshorc. Two horses attached to a buggy were on the middls span when the crash came, and remain there still, ms there w ij of getting thorn off. There wers stJhie re markable escapes of children, of whom there probably not less than fifty on tbe bridge at the time. One little fellow, aged thirteen-years, wag caught by both feet ia the iron rigging in one of the spans, and had bis leg broken; but he managed, by sheer strength, to pull one of his boots off, and then coolly and leisurely took out his pocket-knife and ripped the other boot from his foot and swam ashore. The bridgo, which was of iron—Trusdell pattern—and of five spans, was elevated about twenty- five feet above tbe river, which ia from fifteen to twen ty-five feet deep. Only the two end spans fell. The three middle spans are standing, but in such a condition that it is thought that they will fall when the wreckod spans removed. Workmen are busy to-night pulling up the Derrick in order to clear the wreck, and making ar rangcmoiits to secure the bodies beneath. AUSTRIA. VIENNA, May 5, 1873.
