The earthquake in the Mississippi Valley, on the ITth August, agitated the river violently in I the vicinity of New Madrid. The water seemed to rise m a body several leec nign, uu was forced backward up stream. The current was actually stopped during the few seconds the, earthquake continued. The shock, occurred a little before nine o'clock in the morning, and I -was also perceptible in the city of 3femphis, but ft - - F - ... ' 1 1'onyr'to those in the nouses, wniie mose in me I "ffti-oet scarcely noticed it. . The occupants of the upper stories hastened down to terra Jirma ritb frightened alacrity. A writer in the Memphis Commercial of the following day v rites : ' " Mn rpMonnl incidents are related, all of t J J r " . - . f . . T T 4 w. VftA .fn wl A i.r, interest, yet 01 great Biiuwainj, nnu iuu eiug. exception of the impressions derived as to the -t direction of the 'wave.' In one office "a framed I show-cara, leaning agsmsi a soumern wan, was I thrown northward; and a gentleman sitting at a fDorthern window - felt himself involuntary in clined to pitch out on to the sidewalk. In 1 another office, on Second street, piece of paper, tacked over an opening on the west, filled and I refilled, like a sail, as if the atmosphere was af I fectecLby a force moving from west to cast. In I other places, gas burners vibrated and loose par titions swayed rapidly backward and Jorwsrd, but usually in the direction which they would .most readily take upon any unusual convulsion of the earth. , "It is theorized by some that the internal ex pansion or explosion of gases, or combustion of igneous materials, supposed to occasion earth quakes, assumes a 'wavy' motion and straight forward, direction; by others, that the- oscilla-. tions are equal in force and irregular in direction, giving to the shell of the earth, and sublunary things in general, a rotary as well as vibratory .motion. But, without attempting to dipinto the science of these wonderful and fearful phe- ) nomena, we will simply add that, en this occa- fcion, the city of Memphis got a pretty effectual I shaking up, thotfgh certainly not one at all equal I to our deserts. We have beard of no serious ! damage being done, with the exception of several chimneys in different parts of the city which j lost their centres of gravity and fell with a f crash, while several walls were cracked and a considerable amount of plaster dislodged from ceilings. "This portion of the Mississippi Valley has experienced similar shocks on several occasions before, the last occurring about two and a half 1 years ago;' but this exceeds all others in sever ity, unless, as some old citizens relate, we should except the earthquake of 1843, and, of course, the frightful convulsion of 1811, so calamitous , in its effects further up the river, in the vicinity of New Madrid. As to the duration of the shocks experienced yesterday, reports do not entirely concur, but it was probably not less than -two minutes and a half from first to last." PARDONS. It has been stated in the newspapers, and truly, that the President has pardoned W. J. Hawkins of Warren, and George W. Mordecai of Wake. And it has also been stated that these pardons were granted on the recommendation ofXJav. Holden. . This is a mistake, and it is due alike to the President and to Gov. Holden that the facts in these cases, should be given. These persons applied for pardon through tjie Governor, and their applications were for warded to the President with the recommendation - that for the present they should be suspended. It was not the wish of Gov. Holden that their estates should be confiscated, but he thought it was but just to the loyal Unien men of the State that such offenders should not ba permit ted to participate as voters in the reorganization, of the State government. Meanwhile these gentlemen repaired to Washington- to press their cases. The State Agent, Dr. II. J. Pow ell, knowing that the Governor had recommen ded their suspension, declined to ail them. But they appeared before ihe President, and, .as wo are informed, told him that they had taken no active part in the rebellion, and that they had. been recommended for. pardon by the Governor. Their applications could not be found by the (plerk; and the President, taking it for granted that their representations were correct, granted them a pardon. We make this statement in justice to the . Governor. The people of the State generally will bear witness that Gov Holden has been lib eral and lenient in his administration; and we state the fact that of one thousand applications tor pardon forwarded by the Governor, seven or eight hundred have been recommended for par .don. The Governor has persecuted no one. lie ohcrhahes no resentment towards any portion ofhis fellow-citizens. It would aTord him no pleasure to see any estate confiscated. But he . intends to perform his duty without fear, favor, or affectibD; and he is determined that his au- . thority shall be respected. He did not seek the place he now occupies, but he accepted it at .the request of the President, and he feels that Jio has the confidenco of the President. The persons referred to may congratulate themselves -on their success; but we tell them that the Gov ernor has power, if he chooses to exercise it, to assess their estates in any amount for the sup port of the State government, and to aid the State charities, and that his exercise of this power will depend upon the manner, in which these persons and .their political atisociates and friends shall conduct themselves from this time until the provisional government ceases.

The purchase yesterday, of six thousand ' barrels of beef, in this market, for shipment to -.Great Britain, adm.onisb.es us that the dreadful cattle disease, which is now raging in Europe, will have an important influence upon our mar kets for cured meats, if we shall be so lucky as to escape the disease itself. A large advance in butter and cheese may be expected. Fortu nately, wc have a large stock of salted beef in this market; it was packed last fall and winter in anticipation of a demand from the a, r my, which hare Jailed, prices have ruled all summer lower than the average of peace times, especial ly for the finer qualities.

Alter that cam oor own turn. The epidemic wave struck us at last, and we" suffered in proportion to the severity of -the attack as measurdd against our organized defences. That is the sketch which would serve generally for the visitations of 1832, 1849 and 1854. ' . v At the present time not one of these charac- f V W w - 4 7 I tenslics is discernible. We heard nothing whatever of the cholera as on its route fronj, India. It was .first reported quite abruptly, from Alexandria, wheje it raged terribly, spread ing along the coast to Damietta, and running up the Nile to Cairo." Then we heard of it at Smyrna, in the Isle of Cyprus, at. Constantino ple, and in the villages on the Bosphorus. - Presently it is reported from Aucona, trom (iib- raltar and Malta, from Marseilles, from Barce- lona, and from Valencia. But in ,no one of i these instances has it advanced from the sea coast into the interior, for the case of Cairo can hardly be considered an exception.. It has not spread beyond Ancona, though the disease in that town was very intense. Once there was a story of its appearance in Milan, but -that was not confirmed. It has not advanced beyond Marseilles, or beyond any of the infected ports on the east coast of Spain. Southern Italy hasi been attacked, but only under similar conditions. Cholera is last reported from San Nicaadro and San Severo, the former a town close upon the coast, the latter a little beyond. These are the results of a survey of the case up to the prsent moment. The only exception is a report of the cholera in Hanover, but this, in professional statements, is reduced to "cholerine," and is ap parently only such a disorder as occurs most autumns in London. In shortupon a summary of the evidence, we come to this, not that an Asiatic pestilence is advancing upon us across Europe, but that there has been an extraordin ary outbreak of cholera in the basin, of the Me diterranean. Thb marked and special limitation of the epidemic may not unreasonably suggest to us some hopes of immunity. Within the basin of the Mediterranean no shore has escaped; beyond it no cholera has appeared. The latest intelli gence reports a panic from Wallachia and Mol davia, but the disease had not yet declared itself in those provinces, though it is obviously pro bable that it might creep into the Black Sea and make the circuit of those coasts also From the Sbepherdston (West Va.) Register. THE CONFEDERATE DEAD. After the battle of "Antietam" (Sharpsburg) several hospitals were established in our town for the reception of the Confederates who were wounded at that battle, and occasionally after wards Confederate sick and wounded were left in this place. Many of them died and though no relatives or friends were near to attend them in thejr dying moments, still they were tenderly nursed and cared for by the ladies of the town, who ever true to the natural inclinations of their hearts and in accordance with their sympathy for suffering humanity, contributed to their wants while living and when dead had them decently interred, in a piece of ground near town, adjoioing the M. E. graveyard, set apart as a "burial place" for the "Confederate dead," and their graves neatly sodded and distinctly marked with head boards, so that if their friends should desire to remove their .remains, there would be- no difficulty in identifying the graves. Moved by the same humanity and in obe dience to the injunction, "Speak no ill of the dead," wc have Collected the names of the dead and publish them that their friends may know the fate of those they have not heard from for several years : The following are from N.

Tie approaching State Convention will havi the important; uuues immeu upuu hui ik suchi ordinances as are required ef the State before we can be restored to equal rights in i the national government.- An ordinance abolishing ' slavery in iortn uaronoaiorever mus. ue peu, j and ought to be passed with promptness and i unanimity. It ought ; to be passed in such a ; spirit as to show to the government that we j have made up our nuods to cheerfully comply with the terms requiredof us. I When these alterations -of the constitution : ball nave been adopted by the convention, tney ! oucht at once to be submitted to the vote of the - w reople of the State. ' , ' It will then be the duty of every man in the State to go to the polls and vote. The vote of the people upon the adoption or rejection of the acts of the Convention will measure our loyalty to the national government. The authorities will judge North Carolina by the number and unanimity of her citizens who shall vote at that election. If the vote is united and large, we shall al once be treated with great ljberality, and have every consistent privilege extended to us. But if the poll shall be small an'd there is much divi sion apparent from it, we shall be regarded with suspicion and shall be watched as disloyal people. It is of the utmost importance that our vote shall be united, and that it shall be such as to convince the national government that we arc unanimously agreed to cheerfully perform such duties as it nas required oi us. For -these reasons it is highly important that nothing shall be brought before the Convention that is not positively required to be passed upon. Especially should the Convention avoid raising any unnecessary question that might make a division amongst the pcqple. And for these reasons the war debt of the State should not be passed upon by that body. If that debt should be indorsed or repudiated by the Convention, and this ordinance together with the others should be submitted to the vote of the citizens, the vote will be .very much divided. When this divided vote is seen by tho Northern people, it would at once be taken that we were divided on the subject of the abolition of slavery. Such a divided vote would do the State great damage. The principle laid down in this paper, as a non-assumption of the Sta'te war debt, does not mean, and was not intended to mean, a repudia tion of that debt. It only means that the Con vention should not interfere with that debt at all, but should pass it over, and leave it exactly as they found it. It is the general understand ing that the debt rs not binding on the State, until it is sanctioned and endorsed by the Con vention or by the Legislature ; therefore it is no debt at all until it shall have. been assumed by one of these bodies. It is best, therefore, that any action upon this subject shall not be delayed at present un til the people are thoroughly informed as to the nature arid amount of the. liability. Let the facts go to the voters, and let it be discussed, if necessary, so that every man may comprehend the subject, aud may vote as he may think best under the circuaistanccs. Then the" Legisla ture or Convention, if it has not finally adjourn ed, can take exactly such action as the majority of the citizens of the State shall desire, as ex pressed by their votes. As we have already stated, there is, however, an additional reason why the Convention should not assume this debt. Every argument seems to urge that no action at all shall be taken by that body, but if any ordinance is passed it ap pears to us that it should not be one assuming the debt because the terms of capitulation agreed upon between General Sherman and General Johnson were rejected by the President and his Cabinet, for this reason amongst others, "that theycertainly subject the loyal citizens of the rebel States to the debt consummated by the rebels in the name of the State." As this is a reason given by the President arid Cabinet for repudiating the terms of surrender, it is fair to conclude that they would not be willing to sanction the action of any Convention, that as sumes the war debt of the State., Therefore, it was stated in this paper that the war debt should not be assumed by the State Convention. For these reasons, as well as for many others that occur to every man, it is highly important that the Convention should avoid any action on the debt ol the State, or upon any other unim portant subject, and shouAl confine themselves strictly to those subjects that they are compell ed to pass upon. And th jn let their ordinances be submitted to the vote of the people, and let that vote be coufined to the abolition of slavery and a cheerful submission to the government of the United States. Then the loyal people of the government will see how the' . citizens of North Carolina stand on these vital questions, and we shall be treated according to our deserts, as shown by that vote.

The demoralising influence- of the war "are everywhere apparent to the mostcastial obserr erf AH our population has passed through "days that try men's sodls."' ' Many, who seem ed firmly gratfbded jn principles, have been up rooted; and many, who still stand fast in their pride of station, yet bear Ihe scars of lightning. Has there not been a lowering of the moral tone of the community? Bo we not eel that there is some abatement in those generous and manly virtues that once pourea tneiriuu uae tnrouga the Southern heart? ; This is the most painful of all the evils we experience. Of the young and brave who have perished of the Hamp dens whose thoughts, were of peace even in the midst of conflicts, and who cried, "God save the bleeding country,'' while the last drops were falling from their own warm hearts the memo ry is fragrant still. The fortunes that have been dispersed may be gathered under calmer skies. As the scattered corn strikes root in the desert ed bivouac, so war may leave blessings along its track of desolation, that , may ripen in these strange and sudden days of peace. The won drous providence that has put all our calcula tions at fault, making peace in a day, may as wondrously provide relief for the impoverished whose homes aretiust apd ashes now. But, whatever compensation may be granted to suf fering, there is no promise to moral weakness there is no resurrection for dead souls. To spend the first days ef -peace in criminating otbers,'Or maligning that superior wisdom by which the world is controlled, is neither just nor wise. It is not given to any of us, we humb ly confess, to explain, ' much less to correot, the philosophy of history; norjs it allowed that we should indulge in aimless persistent lamentation over private or public, losses. - Our great busi ness is, now to return to the long neglected walks of industry, wheiever this may be practicable, and, in any event, to resume the practice of our ancestral virtues.--wwsa Transcript. : NEWS ITEMS. - We learn from the Whig that Gen. Lee has accepted the position of President of Washingr ton College, at Lexington. The venerable school, and the pleasant and cultivated village which Fs its scat, will henceforward have an im portance in the eye of the world which few oth er events could have given them. JBsaT In addition to the information hereto fore given that the President had promptly an nulled the instructions issued by the Preed men's Bureau for retaining the lands of South erners who had been fully pardoned, it may -also be stated that the President, about the same time, ordered the Southern Methodist churches, which had been in the hands of Northern min isters by military agency, to be restored to the ministers of the church South, who now assume their ministerial duties iu New Orleans, at Memphis, and elsewhere. An effort will be made this winter to obtain an appropriation from Congress to defray the expenses of deepening the channel uniting the inland waters of North Carolina with the ocean, which, with the removal of a small bar in the Neuse Kiver, will enable the. largest ocean stea mer to run to Newbern. Illness or Mb. Davis. A telegram from Fortress Monroe dated August 31, says: It is understood that Jeff. Davis has at pre sent an attack of erysipelas, which is the second one he has ha1. The first was very slight, but this is more severe, though not serious. Mr Clay's health is improving. A. II. Stephens. The President declines to release Hon. Stephens, but directs that he shall be made as comfortable as circum stances will allow. Hon. Linton Stephens his hall brother has been permitted to visit Jiim. Judah P. Benjamin is still in Havana. So says a letter from that place, which also states that the cx-rebel Generals Preston and Walker left by the steamer Elder for England, intending to go thence to Halifax. Gov. Moore will re main in Cuba until his fate is determined in Washington. Gen. Magruder is in the City of Mexico, ready to take employment, if he can find it; Capt. Maury has found service with the Emperor as superintendent of a national obser vatory, which is to be established; and Major Mordecai, as topographical and civil engineer, will be associated for the-' present with Colonel Talcott, in charge of an important branch of the public railway service. Gen. E. Kirby Smith still remains here. Mexico. We learn from a private source entitled to credit, that numbers of the officers and soldiers of the late Confederate army are arriving almost daily in the city of Mexico that Maximilian receives them with every mark of kindness, and that he is doing what he can for their quiet settlement as planters and artizans in that country. He. seems to anticipate no difficulty with the United States, but is exerting himself to restore order and quiet to Mexico and to encourage industry and enterprise. Confiscation in Tennessee.. -The Mem phis Argus, of a recent date, says : "Wc arc informed by citizens of Haywood county, Tennessee, that the United States Mar shal has just libelled for confiscation tho whole property, real and pergonal, of forty five or fiftv j gentlemen residing at or in the vicinity of I'lWwnstille. ' The Marshal, we understand, took an inventory of the personal property in each case, so as to hold the parties responsible for its safe keeping and forthcoming on the day of trial. Some of the parties' had taken the amnesty oath, and all of them havT been known as active partic ipants in the late war against the United States. $6tF" yc learn that the- Quakers have some misgivings about taking -the amnesty oath, be- j cause it requires that they shall not only "faith fa ljy support and protect the constitution of the United States," but that they shall "defend it." We think we can assure them that the words 'protect and dofend" does not mean to defend with arms. The nutioual and State govern ments have sanctioned the substitution of mo-' ney or some other service from members of the p . p . - . . i . 0 . service.
