Valparaiso, April 3, 1861.
With foci:;** of f'.cpp regret 1 have to
announce to you the utter destruction of
the city of Mendoza, in the Argentine Re
public, by an earthquake, on the evening
oft lie 20th of March last. At that date,
at half-past eight P. M., a slight but pro
longed vibration of the earth was felt in
this eitv and in Santiago simultaneously.
Most of the churches were densely filled,
it being near the close of Lent, and some
alarm and confusion was created, but no
serions accidents occurred, and tranquility
was soon restored.
On Sunday, the 21th, however, a gener
al gloom was cast over this city by the
announcement by telegraph from the cap
ital that Renigno Bruno, the mail rider,
had arrived from Mendoza that morning
without a mail, bringing the distressing
news that there remained but a heap of
ruins to point the spot where, a few days
before, had stood a thriving and populous
city of IS,000 souls.
Bruno stated that he arrived at Mendo
za on the morning of the 20th: that at
half-past eight 1*. M., a brief but excess
ively violent shook of earthquake, lasting
but six or eight seconds, destroyed every
building, public and private, in the city,
and that the number who were enabled to
escape was very limited. 'I be streets be
ing narrow, the buildings high, and tlie in
habitants totally unused to such phenom
ena, were paralyzed with terror, and neg
lected to seek refuge m the open courts of
their dwellings until too late. The post
master was buried beneath the ruins ol'
the post office, the Governor was missing,
and when asked why lie brought no cer
tificate that the mails were lost, the mes
senger replied, “There was no one left to
write it. nor materials to write with.”
The aspect presented by the city after
the first -hock was terrific. Hoarse sub
terranean thunders deafened the air, ani
mals of all kinds rushed frantically through
the open spaces howling, the earth opened
and vomited forth floods of water, while, to
crown the scene of horror, flames burst
from the ruins and consumed nearly the
entire business portion of the city, with
its dead, its dying and its wounded.
On the 2 s til, a number of letters were
received here and at Santiago bv relatives
and friends of Chilians residing in Mendo
za, but the hope until then entertained,
that tTic earlier accounts were exaggera
ted, soon gave way to the dreadful cer
tainty that the calamity had not yet 1 ecu
painted in colors sufficiently vivid. The
earth still continued to tremble, the few
walls that had resisted the first shock one
by one fell, until now no vestige of a
building remains. The mountain roads
are in a most dangerous condition, not on
ly on account of the huge masses of rock
that have already fallen and obstructed
the road, but because the vibration of tlic
earth is sfili hurling them down from the
heights above into the valleys.
The saw has, or natives of the surround
ing country, hastened to the spot, not to
assist the needy or aid in rescuing the
wounded from a lingering death, but to
seek for plunder among the smoking ruins,
and to snatch the little saved from the
wretched survivors. One gentleman,
writing from thence, afer describing these
horrors, says :—“I believe that in a few
days wc shall have no other law here than
that of the poignard.”
The prison was destroyed ; out of one
hundred inmates ninety-two perished.—
The remaining eight, who were already
hardened viIlians, formed themselves into
a band of freebooters, and had gone it was
supposed, to tiic mountain passes, to inter
cept and rob the parties sent from Chili
for the relief of the sufferers. One woman
was found robbed and murdered by the
roadside. She was recognized as one
who was on her way to Mendoza to see
her family. They too had ail perished on
the 20th.
In the Jesuit church there was preach
ing that night. The services had just con
cluded, and the congregation was about
dispersing, when the shock came. The
few who had reached the piaza were saved,
but tl.e walls and roof of the building fell
inward with a crash, ana priest and pen
itent together were hurried into eter
nity.
The latest advices from Mendoza rep
resent the suffering to be extreme, there
being neither food, clothing nor shelter for
the survivors, everything being, buried be
neath the ruins. They also state that the
.San Juan and San Luis, two other popu
lous cities of the Confederation, have
shared the like fate, the San Juan river
having, after the shock, left its bed, and
swept over the town, utterly destroying
what the earthquake had spared. This
news not having been Tullj* confirmed, I
do not, however, vouch for its correct
ness.
As soon as the disastrous news was ren
dered beyond question, tiie government
and private individuals vied with one an
other in energetic efforts to send immedi
ate relief to their suffering brethren.—
Without waiting for the completion of the
work, on the 30lli a party of physicians
and others left for the scene of the disas
ter, bearing medicines, food and cloth
ing, aud accompanied by a small body oi
troops.
Tne gloom and terror spread through
out the republic of Chili by this awful ca
lamity may be imagined. Situated upon
an eminently volcanic region, we have con
stant evidence of the insecurity of onr ten
ure of existence. Separated but by a
chain of mountains from the scene of de
struction, and taught by sad experience
the frightful nnd irresistible force ot the
unheralded earth storm, we retire each
nmbt with a feeling of terrible insecurity.
This coast lias been frequently visited in
past years by earthquakes.—Chilian has
been* twice destroyed ; Concepcion once,
while Valparaiso, Santiago and Copiapo
have suffered severely. No amount of hu
man foresight, no precaution avails against
the mysterious visitor, who comes at dawn,
at noonday or at midnight, and in a few
seconds levels to the ground the proudest
monuments of human skill.

In the course of the correspondence.
Gov. Magoffin proposed that the Border
States co operate to bring about peace be

States, by acting as mediators in the quar

that believing the General Government to
be wholly in the right, be saw no reason
for the interposition suggested, and that
any other peaceable solution than a return
by the seceded States to their allegiance
to the Government ofthc Union was im
possible. With this the correspondence
seems to have closed.

was fatally, a prominent and much loved

accompanying resolutions unanimously
passed on Saturday last hv the Baptist

the request that' you will present them to

N. M. CRAWFORD,

Hon. Howell Conn,
President of Congress.
At a meeting of the Baptist Convention
of the State ot Georgia, the following
preamble and resolutions were unanimously
passed :
Whereas, the State of Gesrgia, in the
legitimate exercise of licr eoYoroignty has
withdrawn from the Confederacy known
as the United States of America, and for
the better maintainance cf her rights,
honor and independence, has united with
other States in a new Confederacy under
the title of the Confederate States of
America; and whereas, Abraham Lincoln,
the President of the United States, is at

these states in violation of the fundamental
be executed, aud promises to be fuddled. All bon
er to noble Tennessee?
Would we could say bait’hr much for Kentucky!
Oorul Advice fur the South.—We adopt the fol
lowing suggestions from the Huntsville Adcocat',
and the South will be wise if she heeds them ;
“Whatever can be made at tho South now,
should bo. The war may be upon us for years,
and our people should be prepared to endure its
privations ami provide for its necessities. The day
for luxuries, vain display, and foolish extrava
gance is over. We should husband our resources
so as to be independent.
“Every branch of industry in the South should
now redouble its exertions to supply the home de
mand. Every manufacturer of cloths, goods, boots,
shoes, hats, foundries, clothing, hoes, wooden
ware, Ac., &c , should let the public know at
once lie makes, where he is to be found, and how
lie sells. The public needs information of this kind
now, and look to the advertising columns of the
newspapers for such knowledge."
A Camp Scene.—-At the quarters of the
“Athens Guards,” near the depot of the
Augusta and Savannah Railroad, may be
witnessed a most interesting and novel
scene in camp life. The members of this
company assembled every day, at noon,
and hold a prayer meeting. When the
ranks of onr citizen-soldiery are made tip
of such men, we may defy the host of
Lincoln’s myrmindons.—Augusta Repub

always has been just this, and it applies to I and the South—it is yours to meet uncommon tyr- j
the North as well as to the South:—No «'">y demoniac ferocity with uncommon forti
tude and dauntless courage! It is yours to re
spond to the savage yell and pirate shout, the wolf
bear no resemblance to the reality. But
surely the outrages have not been all upon
one side. A gentleman, an editor of a
paper in Pennsylvania, called info our
office the other day, and stated that he
had been driven out of the village by
parties who threatened his life, and scarcely
had lie left when a mob surrounded his
house and rendered even his family unsafe.
It is only the other day that a Democratic
editor in Troy, who condemned the war
policy of Lincoln, was forced to Hee to
Canada for iris life, and we are credibly
informed that a man was hanged in Ulster
County for expressing his sympathy for
the South in the present struggle.
Now, all those things are wrong, and can
cud only in evil to all concerned. Ex
cesses are sure to react upon whoever in
dulges in them. It is proclaimed by the
President of the United States that cer
tain States are in rebellion. W e arc at
war with them. Aid or assistance we can
not lawfully give. Our opinions or feel
ings are one tiring, our acts another. The
Earl of Chatham sympathised with our
ancestors, and said if he were an American
he would never submit, yet he was not
mobbed for iris opinions.

South at the North is that she does not

HIGHLY IMPORTANT FROM TEXAS—CAP
TURK OF THE U. STATES HOOPS AT
IND1ANOLA.
iNDIAXO/.A. April 51, 18CI.
I wrote you on the 14th iust , informing you of
the flepartme of the Empire City with L. S. troops
for the North.
Since then, the aspect of things hai changed
very much, and th" prediction which [ made in
that letter, that tiie very troops we wen then fra
ternising with, and parting with, with s> much re
luctance, might, before the expirationof another
month, meet us as deadly foes in hattlearray, has
been already verified. After the sebure of the
Star of thp West by Colonel Van Dorn, die United
States troops here were left without an; transpor
tation, and as the intention was evideitly to cut
them off, it created no little anxiety aid uneasi
ness amongst them. Major Sibley’s command,
which I informed yon was brought upfom Brazos
Santiago, was strengthened by tho tdditiou of
Captain Granger’s company. Third Infaitry, Capt
Wallace,Third Infantry, and Capt Jordin. Eighth
Inlantry, making in all about five hundnd and fifty
men, women and children. After vaiuy endeav
oring to charter the steamers of tin Southern
Steamship Company to take them away and Major
Van Dorn being daily expected to airlve with a
sufficient force to overpower them, Major Sibley
chartered two schooners—the Horaceand the Ur-
b.mia—to take them to Key West.
On Tuesday, the 23d, the troops etibarked on
board these vessels, which were towel! down the
hay to the Pass bv the. steamer Fashon, where
tiny anciiorcif, and the Fashion leluried to Iuiiia-
nola with a guard of about fifty men D see if ano
ther vessel could not be procured, sime the troops
were too much crowded on the ones fiey had. So
far, fortune seemed to favor their es«pe, but she
only momentarily indulged them witi that hope,
that the punishment sac was abint to ititiict
through them upon the perfidious Alministration
at Washington might be more siguil and exem
plary. Providence works by mscrulaJle ways, and
often, as in this case, makes the wicl*d the means
of afflicting upon themselves their *wu deserved
chastisement.
Instead of finishing his business uid returning
to the Pass that evening with the fashion, in or
der to be in readiness to tow the v«sels over the
bar the next morning, the officer in command had
to use a frontier expression more sguificaut than
refined, to get tight and quarrel w*b the Captain
of the steamer and kick up a inusi generally, so
that ail tiie officers of the steamer went on shore
and left the valiaut Captain aioie in his glory.
Mark the consequences! Early thJ next morning,
before the Captain bad taken hi coffee, or bad
time to icflect upon the folly of his conduct the
previous night. Major Van Dorn knocked at his
door and politely requested the lean of his sword,
and then inviting his companions ai arms to break
fast at the Cassauiir House, (wliijh for the nonce
was turned into a guard boose.) juietly took pos
session of the Fashion for bis own followers: aud
chattering two other steamers, witch he filled with
Confederate troops, proceeded do*n the bay to re
port to the commanding officer, Major Sibley, the
backslidiugs of his trusty Lieutenant.
The Armada fitted out by Co . \ ail Dorn to in
tercept aud capture the fugitive troops, consisted
of the steamers Fashion, propeller Mobile, and
United •-tales, with about eiglt hundred men on
board, collected from the surrounding counties.
Breast works of cotton bales (cotton, you see, is al
ways king) were constructed around the sides of
the vessels, to protect the men from the deadly ri
fles of the United States troop-. Cannon w'ere on
the way from San Antonio ant! .Matagorda, but did
not arrive in time. Against such a formidable
force, judiciously disposed npon steamers that
could choose their own position. Major Sibley had
no showing whatever, for there he was, cooped up
on hoard of two schooners lying at anchor, his
command reduced to about tbur hundred men by
desertion and captme, with not a single piece of
connon to deiend himself. J'he only alternative
was to surrender, which he did the next day at 12
o'clock. The surrender w»s unconditional. In
the afternoon the steamship Oon Rusk, which had
been seized by the Confederate authorities at Gal
veston, arrived with a twenty-four pounder and
two six pounders, and one hundred and fifty men.
List of Officers and Trotfs on Board of the Ves

Jordan, Assistant Surgecas Lynde and Burns—in
all tour hundred and fifty men.
Seven companies of t!.» Eighth Infantry are on
the way to the coast. They will be intercepted
and disarmed.

Officers Resigned.—Jlijor Larkin Smith, Capt.
Blair, Capt Reynolds, (apt. Trevett, Lieut. Cone,

The capture and resignation of these officers will
deprive the Department at Washington of the ser
vices of about thirty five of the most efficient men
in tiie service, and cripple its power to do us mis
chief.
The terms of the sunender are that all the arms

Several soldiers in Washington have
been arrested, and put in irons by their

Spies in the South.—Tiie Richmond Despatch
says: We have little doubt that Lincoln has his
agents in every Southern locality, and a strict
look out should h" kept for them. Strangers es
pecially, no matter how pacific the pretenses on
which they profess to come, should be closely
watched, and, if necessary, prevented from
leaving.

Diarrhrea prevail, shonld not he without “Jacob's
Cordial” in their trunks, that they may upon the
slighest evidence of disease, have recourse immedi
ately to a proper remedy’. This, of all others, is a
most valuable consideration. It is an old adage,
and a true one, that an ounce of prevention is bet
ter than a ponnd of cure; and while travelling
through districts where any of the diseases are pre
vailing epidemically, a small dose of the Cordial,
repeated several times during the day, would be a
safeguard.

The National Republican issued in Washington nnd
regai ded as the representative of the Lincoln govern
ment, thus announces the policy ami the purposes of
that government:
“There is to lie no peace, except upon the basis of
THE UNQUALIFIED SUBMISSION OF THOSE
IN REVOLT. There is to be no recognition ot any
pretended Southern Confederacy. There is to be no
peaceable assent to a separation of these States.
l’iie Government is to be maintained in that plain,
straightforward way in which. all governments are
maintained—BY COERCION. The leaders of this
consperncy arc to be DRIVEN OUTOFTHK COUN

tors anywhere, and at any time, more richly deserve
the fate which awaits them. They have attempted the
evertlirow of the freest and best government on earth
by the most flagitious menus, and with a view to the
establishment of a grinding military despotism. Their
crime has been gigantic, and THiun pii.vish.vist is to
