The following article was prepared for publication in the News and Courier, and is telegraphed almost in the writer's own words : "Necessarily the only description hat can be given of the disaster which has befallen our city, consists in tha narrative of. experiences' and observations of individuals, and the experiences of all being nearly alike. tne story told by one careful obser ver may well stand for an hundred others, with slight variations. Prob ably the best idea that can be had of the character of the disturbance, therefore, mav be obtained from the narrative of the events and scenes of Wednesday night as they were presented to a single person while engaged in his usna! duties in the second story room of the News and Conner oflice. At the time of the first shock the writer's attention was vaguely attracted by a sound which seemed to come from the office be low and which was supposed for the moment to be caused by the rapid rolling of a heavy body, as an iron saie, or neavny iau.eu truck', over the floor. Accompanying the sound there was a perceptible tremor of the. -.building, not more marked. however, than would be caused by the passage of a street car or a dray along the street. For perhaps two or three seconds the occurrence ex cited no surprise or comment. Then byswilt degrees, or perhaps ail at once, it is difficult to say which, the Bound deepened in volume, the tremor became more decided, the ear 'caught the rattle of window sashes, gas fixtures and other loose; objects. J. he men in the office, I with perhaps a simultaneous flash; of recollections of the disturbance of the Friday before, glanced hnr-i 11 a ' f x 1 1 ! neaiy ac eacn otnerana sprang to, their feet with startled questions! and answers : What is that ? An1 earthquake! and thenall was con- and spread intcnI awful roar that seemed to peryade. at once the; troubled earth and still air above and around. The tremor was now a rude, rapid quiver -that 'agitated the whole lofty, strong walled build-f ing, as though it were being shaken dj me nana oi an immeasurable power, witn the, mtent to tear its joints asunder, and scatter its stones and bricks abroad as i ti'ee easts its ripened fruit before the breath of the gale. There was no interim's sion in the vibrations of the mighty subterranean engine. From first td last it was a continuous jar, only adding force at every moment, and as it approached and reached the climax of its manifestation, it seem ed for a few terrible seconds that nq work of human hancs could possi bly survive. The floors were hqavi ing under foot, the surrounding walls and partitions visibly swayed to and fro, crashes of falling masses of stoneand brick and mortar overj head and without, the terrible roar filled the ears, and seemed to fill the mind and heart, dazing the percept tion, bewildering thought, and foj a few panting breaths, or while you held your breath, dreadful anticipa tion of immediate and cruel death you felt life was : already past and waited for the end as a victim with his head on the block awaits, the falling of the up-lifted axe. j It is not given to . many, men to look in the face of the destroyer and yet live, but it is little to say that the group of strong men who expe rienced the above faintly described scene will carry with them the re collection of that supreme moment to their dying day - j None expected to esrApe. A sud den rush was . simjiltaneously made to endeavor to attain the open air and flee to a place of safety, but before the door was reached all reeled together to the tottering wall and stopped feeling that the effort was vain ; that it was only a ques tion of death in the building or without to be buried by a sinking roof or crushed by toppling walls. The uproar slowly died away in the seeming distance. The earth was still and oh ! blessed relief of that stillness. .- j But how. rudely the silence was, broken ! As we dashed down the stairway and out into the street, already on every aide, arose shrieks, cries of pain and fear, prayers and wailings of terrified" women and children, commingled with tjie hoarse shouts of excited men. Out in the street the air was filled to the height of the house with-a whitish cloud of dry, stifling dust from the lime x and mortar, and shattered masonry which falling, upon the pavement and tone roadway had been reduced to powder. - Through this cloud, dense as fog, gas lights flickered dimly shedding. but little light eo hat. jon stumbled at every step over piles of brick or "became entangled in lines of telegraph wires SEPTEMBER that depended in every direction from their broken -supports. On every side were the hurrying forms of men and women, bareheaded and partially dressed, some almost node and many of whom were cnuy with fear, or excitement. Here a woman is supported, half fainting, in the arms of her husband; who vainly trie to soothe her. while he carrier her into the open space at a street corner, where, at present, talcty seems assured There a woman ties on the pavement with an up turned: face and out stretched Junbs and the crowd passes her by for the Jime, not pausing to see whether she be alive or dead. A sudden light flares through the window overlooking the street. It became momentarily brighter and the cry of fire resounds from the multitude. A rush is made towards the spot, a man is seen doubled up and helpless gainst the wall :b&t at this moment somewhere, out it sea, over head and deep in the ground, is heard again the low, ominous roll, which is already too well known to be mistaken. It grows louder and nearer, like the growl of a wild beast swiftly approaching his prey, and all is forgotten again in ths frenzied. rush for open space, where alone there is hope of security; faint though it be. The tall buildings on either band blot out the skies and the stars ; seem to overhang every foot of ground between them. The shattered cornices and copings, the tops qf their frowning walls seem piled from both sides to the centre of the street. It -seems that the touch would now send the shat tered masses left standing down upon the people below, who look up to them and shrink together as the tremor of an earthquake again passes under them, and the mvsteri ous reverberatrons swell and roll along like some internal drum beat summoning them to die. And it passes away, ana again is expen enced a blessed feeling of deliver ance from the impending calamity, which it may well be believed evokes a mute but earnest offering of min gled prayer and thanks gi ven fr5m every heart in the throng. Again, far along the street, and up from alleys that lead into it on either side is heard that chorus jof wailing' and lamentation which, though it had not ceased, was scarce ly noticeable a moment before. 'It is a dreadful sound a sound of heir less, horroi stricken humanity, bid help from their fellow creatures and raising their anguished voices in, petition to Heaven for mercy, where no human aid could avail. It is not a scene to be described by any mor taKtongue or pen. It is not a scene to bcNforgotten when it. has been witnessed and when the witness has shared all its danger and felt all its agony. Thejirst shock becurredat seven minutes hof ten, a3 was indi cated this morning by thi public clock's hands, all of which had stop ped on that fateful hour as though to mark the end of time for so many who had heard the 'preceding hour pealed forth by St. Michael! chimes, without a thought but of a long and happy life. v - ' The second shock which was but a faint and crisp echo of the first was felt 8 minutes later. As it passed away the writer started home ward to find the scenca enacted on Broad street, around the News and Courier office, repeated at every step of theway. jSUMichacl'a Steeple was seen high and, white above the gloom seemingly uninjured. .The station house, a massive brick build ing across the street, had apparently lost its roof, which had fallen around it. A little further on the roof of the portico'of the Hiberntan Hall hall fallen. ?Jf ' Charleston, Sept. 1. The city is wrapped in gloom, and business is entirely suspended.. The people generally remain in the streets in tents and under improvised shelters, and will camp out to-night fearingi another shock, bt. Michael s church is shattered, and the steeple will have to come down; likewise the steeple of St:; Phillips. The steeple of the Unitarian church has fallen. The porticos of -Hibernian Hall, and the main station house are de molished. There is much injury, to mansions on .East and. South Battery. The portico of the Bavenal mansion is down. Hardly" house in the city escaped injury, and many are so shaken atidferacked - that a hard blow would bring them to the ground. The shock was severe at 8umroerville, Mount Pleasant, and Snlliyau'g Island, but no loss of life is reported there. Fissures in the earth are : noticed, from which fine sand, apparently from a great depth, exudes. A sulphurous.smell is-very noticeable. - . . TUB DAMAGE ESTIMATED AT THREE 4 MILLION DOLL.1 ES. - ' - Charleston, September y 1. Charleston was fearfully- punished by the earthquake. There is scarce ly a house but has beentlamaged and many are completely wrecked. The damage is estimated at three millions of dollars.

Springs were dried up and' opened in new places, and whole forests of black oak were shattered to pieces. The valley : where the fort was located was about four hundred yards wide with high foot-hills on, each side, and we could ; distinctly see the tops of these -hills wcilating above us and the animals browsing on the sides roll down like rocks.
