' ; C$ -! The Charleston News and Courier says: One of the most singular features of the terrible shaking-up was observed in many parts of the city the pouting wells. In Beaufain street the:, covers were torn from the wells and sent fljiag in-the air. Then came a huge column of'water and mud, which was sent op t a height of 15 or 20 feet. Most of jthe wills were emptied of their contents, bat were speedily refilled. After; the hook the surface of the streets iqthr vicinity of these wells was odveredl in viriablj by a yellowish clay deposit, vhich may have come from theboom of the wells or from a lower stratuia oi the earth. , The water was in these caees forced upward, it is supposed; by y the suDterranean agencies at worav oeiow and sent flying up into the air. After the collapse the theory is that the wells were again filled from the water-bearing strata which underlie Charleston- In seme cases, an instance occurTUie in Gibbes street in the yard of Mr. asel Hey ward s house, huge volume! of water were ejected, it is supposed from t"' .a a. an . -, a-1 " . aary weu in tne lot. xne weuwas Used for sanitary purposes and had no Water in it as far as was known,' Tba en Orance was covered by a heavy granite lab.

In other portions of the city vast jets of water were thrown Up from ore v iocs formed by the fooe of he earth's movement. After the shock most of these closed, soon afterwards leaving exposed a kind of mound of earth of an entirely different character from the surrounding soil. ,, if I kbo Boa tarkably Cemataut 'Vrwtnbllna; : 9f tu Kartii.

BETTER NWS.: CHARLESTON'S PEOPLE FEELING MUCH MORE CHEERFUL TM XAKNK3T IfTORTS TO BHILTIB THX HOMVLISS: Niw Yobk, Sept. 7. The Charleston relief committee of the chamber of com merce organized today by electing Wm. E. Dodge, president; John C. Brown, treasurer, and George Wilson, secre tary. John C. Brown, George S. Coe and Constant A. Andrews were ap pointed a sub-committee to solicit sub scriptions from banks, bankers, I trust companies, j&c, and Gen. E. L. Meli neux, Henry Henti and Walter R. T. J ones were appointed a committee to supply tents and other means of shelter. The committee will meet daily. The following dispatch was sent to Gov. H. S. Thompson, of South Carolina: Gov. Abbett, of New Jersey, who is at Tren ton or Monmouth, New Jersey, will at your request furnish tents for the Charleston Bufferers, Make application and the chamber of commerce of New York will see that they are forwarded at once. The law forbids Gov. Hill, of this State, lending tents for any purpose outside the National Guard." (Signed) W. E. Dodoi. The following dispatch was received from Charleston. "Wm. E. Podge. Thanks for your sympathy. Ab mayor Courtenay has returned, all contribu tions received Will be placed under bis control. For present relief it is best to send funds. Sheds are being built all over the city. To rebuild the city ' will require a national loan at low interest. I trust that the next Congress will crant JBc8ame.' P. Ballman, president of merchants exchange." Charleston, b. C., September 7. This has been a quiet day with us, as there has only been one shake since Sunday night and that shake, today, was not worse than would be caused anv- where by the passing of a heavy-laden wagon. Evidently tne subterranean disturbances are working themselves out and. hour by hour more thought is given to the' needs of the present and the wants of the future. There is a feeliug of sturdv self-reliance j tl at is highly ' encouraging. No one ! doubts the ability to pull through. The pluck of the people rises beyond the height of the occasion. Mayor Courtenay re turn, too, this morning puts every body in better spirits. Long before the ufcual office hours he was 'hard at work systematizing and arranging relief messures and ascertaining on his own account the extent" of the calamity. One of the first steps waa to constitute as a relief committee a joint committee of the chamber of commerce, the merchants' exchange and the cotton exohange, ap pointed by the city council. The several exchanges are represented on the com mittee, and mayor Courtenay will be chairman. : At a meeting of the First Presbyte rian church this morning it was unani mously resolved to make a general ap- pecl for aid to the Presbyterian churches of the country. Their beau tiful building is a total ruin and the congregation is impoverished., Contri butions can be forwarded to Rev. W. T. Thompson, D. P., pastor. lhe appeal of the colored ministers to the: people of the United States for colored people in distress was wholly unneoeasaiy. The relief committee treat the fund at their command as subscribed for the benefit of the whole community and as it was given without distinction of race, color, or condition, so will it, be expended. Up to this time more accommodations have been provided for colored refugees than for whites, and in issuing rations the com' mittee are no respecters of persona Ants naa Deen aemonstrated and tne ex pectation is that the colored ministers will be willing to co-operate with the general committee, instead of acting on tneir own account.

A FAVORABLE EXPORT FROM THI MEMPHIS DISTRICT. Mrmphib, Tenn., 8ept. 7. The reg ular monthly cotton crop report of the Memphis district, which embraces west Tennesee, north Missouri, north Arkan sas and north Alabama, to be published tomorrow by Messrs. Hill, Fontaine & Co , will say: The weather during August has no doubt been most favora ble to cotton, although the large major ity of our correspondents report it muoh more favorable than last year. The, wet weather which prevailed in June left the plant in poor condition to withstand the drouth, and the warm,, dry weather which extended from early. in July to almost the middle of August caused a material Bhedding. There is a general complaint of injury to the; plant throughout the entire district from this cause, together with rust, which is also generally complained of except in Mississippi, where tne outcome of the crop is noted most favorably.; Seasonable showers fell during the last two weeks of August and there has been a marked improvement in tne crop Bince that period. The plant is reported as nerog unusuauy neavy iruiieu ana u the majority of cases is retaining its squares and. bolls. Of three hundred and ten responses two hundred and twen- tv-six renort the eron in a better oondition than last year, which is a fair and bright prospect for a full average yield within the district. Picking has begun in some few localities, but will not become gen eral throughout the district until about September 18 Notwithstanding the damage reported, the indications are that with a fair season and a late frost the vield of this district will exceed those of the past three years. tlosml Baaka Is Tremble.

A Review of tba rart. Henry W. Ura!y lathe New A ork World, Let us discard the false stories, to bo gin with. There was no cross of fire seen above the doomed oity. That item was answered in Capt. Dawson's boast that it was a devout Irishman who first saw it. There was no vivid streak of fire that flashed like a stroke of light ning down the length of Meeting street. There was no atmospheric disturbance atever. 1 he water that issued .from the fissures opened by the Bhock was not hot as well as sulphurous. It was about the usuil temperature of artesian wator. The fissures did not throw wa ter to the heig'ht of twenty or thirty feet. With these exceptions 1 have heard no rumor concerning the earth quake that was not true in substance, ' if not in detail. Now, let us review w rhat actually did happen. First The original shock, taking Charleston as the centre, lasted from 17 to 20 seconds, certainly not longer than 25 seconds. The motion was a succes sion of sharp plunges toward, the earth, with sharp and immediate recovery, the oscillations being about equal. Iu changing the motion from east to west there was, perhaps, a twisting, as chimneys id! lamps were wrenched half-way round alter the 15 seconds of oscillation. There were subsiding tremors circulating for, perhaps three minutes, nothing like the first os cillation, however, and no new im pulse. iccond J he shocks have been re newed at intervals for three dhjs longer, with none of the fierce energy of tne first shook) Perhaps there is no more disturbance iu the later shocks than would result from an enormous mass jreH aij i-tin itsf lf after sudden dislocation. Prof. MjGee held that such was the case with the later enocxs rcporteai to him at Charleston. He said, however, if the new shocks at Summer ville were as violent as reportea tney wouia ve inexplicable by the theory of settling or readjustment of the earth, and wouldiin- dicate new disturbances. Mr. MoGee has just wired that he considers the lter shocks at Summer ville simply the dying out tremors of the first displacement! lhird The earthquake was accom panied, by a dull, roaring noise which outlasted the first shock by a half-hour and returned with every subsequent tremor. The roaring is under ground and best described as long . rolls of thunder, deadened. In the cities it is micgled With the rattle of glass and the rumb'e of rocking houses. In the coun try it is heard as plainly as a cannonade or 'thunder. It has never been so loud .- j " - 'a , - as with the nrst shock, out naa Deen beard with every tremor. Listen ers declare that it has none of the sharp, grinding sound of rough friction, but rather the dull, mellow sound of air or steam thundering in cavities. " I Fourth The fissures in the ground tre of irregular shape, usually tney discharge a brackish water ad fino sand, or water and blue mud, but not always. ; The discharging fissures are usually rounded or oblong, varying in m 11 11 size from a cup . to a wen, ana always swollen for several feet around as if the earth had been pushed up from below. A gentle'swell of white sand, perhaps a foot high, in the centre, glistening with moisture and orowned just above the cra ter with a pile of blue mud shaped like a bee-hive thai is the usual appearance of the mound fissure. The water flows regu larly from the base of the blue mud and jets of mud are pushed up at intervals. Wells have filled to the very tops and e V, w-. are overnowmg ireeiy. Aiverywnere there appears to have been a bulging from beneath the ground that lifted n up and forced the water and mud to the surface. The water did not follow the shock instantly, but came perhaps a half hour later.. In an area of ten minutes - - a . m rm 1 t in. every direction trom eummerviue holes and fissures are as burrows in a prairie-dog village New ones are open ing continually. The bottom has been reached in none of them. In Charleston there are many flowing fissures, though thev show less plainly in the paved streets. Fifths-Prof. McGee's theory of the earthquake is generally aeoepted. Plain ly stated it is that the Appalachian mountains are two great formations, the granite and the fragmental. The first extends from the mountains to about Columbia, and the latter from Columbia to the sea. The first is the piedmont escarpment and the other 'the coast 1 Dlain- The escarpment is granite, the plain is made up of composite rocks ana . . . - - . . , fragments resting on a granite bed about 3,000 feet below. The granite bed thtt holds this mass of earth is inclined to wards the sea, and about 100 miles from shore it deepens suddenlv. The tendency of the fragmental plain is to slide down the granite plain on which it. rests. This tendency is increased by the de posits of sand and gravel constantly brought into the fragmental mass by the rivers that flow down from tne moun tain. Prof. MoGee holds that a seaward slip of this coastal plain has taken place, and that the disturbance results from sudden dislocation of an area 30,000 miles broad and 3,000 feet thick. His reasons for believing this are that such a seaward movement has been takirg place steadily in the Middle Atlantic States and its progress has been ac curately noted ; that no volcanic action ever disturbed anything like bo great an area or could possibly do so; that the so-called volcanic mud and sulphurous water are simply marls and salts or sul- phufcts released from the, layers of the forced eartn dj tne tearing mouon ana upward through suddenly made rifts; that all the phenomena of this earthquake are explicable by tho theory of the land slide, but not by the voloanio theory, and that no voloanio foroe navmg operated on this continent in thousands of years, ana none nemg apparent now, voloanio force cannot be taken as the cause.
