'J he last intelligence from the scene of acti"U is that seven men were Lille; !. : Two of the Con stabulary and four cert.es were killed in the streets1 of Laurens. The difficulty has been brewing some, time, fanned by the fanatical breath of Joe Creus. It came very nc.tr burst ing forth on the daj of the election.

Had) there been any very thn' place in the earth's trust over this j passing wave of internal lava there would have been at that! point an1 ugly fracture and a lively volcanic eruption. Ileal estate juvestmentj therefore, over all the region indicated, may be perfectly secure againstj depreciation frim eartlnjuakies. rl he exceptional section of the -Mississippi valley proper,jof which! we have spoken, befween Cairo aud Memphis, was' visited in 1811) by a successitni of Earthquakes'' runuing through sev eral "weeks, atid some of the results in the lakes created along) the rivet bottom near New.Mad rijl remain to; this day.! Jt is seldom that j& -destructive earthquake occufs at any great distil rice li-'otu a volcatib. That awful visitation at Lisbon itj 1755 was) a remaikab'le exception to this rule; biitj then the whole Mediterranean is only a vjilcanic basin. This earthquake of 1811 in the Mississippi valley, we think, may be traced to that volcanic) ceutre known as the Hot) Springs of (Arkansas), which ate only a volcano in a difiereut form from that of Vesuvius) and the other dry volcanoes. Iu Mount Heela and in the'Gejser of Iceland jthey have the' dry aud the wet voleauo and plenty of earthquakes, us iu all utherVoleinic regions. ' : ! From I the; Bocky Mountains to the Pacific Oceaii we have a region 'which, in a Geological efie, has only recently jcooled down.

Ihe iState of Nevada and all that inlaid Great Uasin was but the otheij day, geotogically speak ing, the bottom of the Sea. It was, jit a com paratively recent date, lifted up by. the pressure of the voiCahio elements' under the earth's crust from four io five thousaud feet above the sea level. When we get to the Pacific coast of Cali fornia we Come to a li'gicu where the j earth's crust is thiii and the ho; springs and suuiboriiig volcanic craters of that section will account for the frequent earthquakes at San Francisco. ; i This earthquake of ours recently was one of- that exceptional class which xi'e jean not trace to 'any ; volcanic source. UowJ tlieu, are we to accouut for it? We kiiow th;.t In volcanic regions, "just before an earthquake, there is a superuatuial haziness and sultriness iu the skies, often actoiripauied with rain. These pheiuomeiia indicate soine electrical elements t.f attractiou between the atmosphere above and the fiery liquid uuder the earth's crust. We had these pheuoujeua iu the atmosphere the other day, and we suppose their attnictiou was so great upon the sensitive lava uuder the earth as to cause the trembling of the jsolid grouud over all the regiou affected, without the assistance of a wave of lava frtlm the basin of any voleauo. This is wondcrfulj wheu we cousider that he(shell of tike-earth uuder our new city Post Office is, per haps', not (less than thirty miles in tliiekuos. fcjuch are the incomprehensible and fwrces oil attraction gravitation, stupeiidou? electricity. gaS-'S, suipnur, tv.c., aua nre, nuro-giycei ine auu steam coilibiued ; loir all these expensive and expl. sive jelemeu'ts enter into the composition of au earthquake. We see, too, in the distribu tion of the earth's volcanoes, that where they do uot exist jas escape pipes of earthquakes they are reallyj not wanted, and that where a volcano is most active it is most useful iu letting off the gases strain and , lata which otherwise would tiirow whole continents into chaos.
