Tlio damage dono to property i cry
great. Probably two or thico millions
of dollars would not repair tho actual
damages; but good hotiH'S with good
hard brick and good cement received
no damage. It was only wliero poor
soft brick or poor cement was used
that tho bouses wero cracked or thrown
down. Tho heavy fire ivalib wcro (re
qunt1v thrown down, and in wooden
lionises the plastering wan more crack

house. On tho main land near tho
Ray Borne of tho houses sunk four and
fivo feet, and a few poor walls were
demolished in various iilaces. Theno
are being now rclmilt with bolter uricK,

cisco, yet it is estimated that tho dam
ages in this city does not exceed ten or
1 fifteen thotmnd dollars. The San Jo."
Mission wa demolished which wan
I erected upwards of eighty years ago.
jYhat has been done may possibly nev
er como to pais again ; but I nm of the
opmiou such nn carthquako has not
visited this section of the country since
the first settlement of the country by
the Spanish in 1781, and nothing of
this kind will occur again in tho next
twrnly-flve yean.
There nro two thoorirs abont tho
cause of earthquake. Tlio old sup
position was that t'lev wcro caused by
volcanoes and internal eruptions. Tho
new theory i. that they arc tho effects of
electricity which surround tiio surface'
of tho earth ; and that the superabun
dance of electricity fi caused bv the
particular portion of tho planets. At
tho time of this earthquake and nt tho
time of tho moH noted earthquakes
that have been described in history,
several of tho most noted planets were
in juxta poMtlon between us and the
inn. This will not occur again iu twen-ty-fi
vo years. Hence, il tho now theory
be truo we will have no heavy shocks
of electricity iu tho next twenty-four
years. One proof of earthquakes br
ing on the surface is that several men
in thin city who were nt tho bottom ol
deep well did not feel tho shock, while
thoo on tho top of the ground near the
welh were sevoroly aliaken. Science
lias made, and il in utill making rajsid
studio. I seo no reaion why scientific
men and philosophers Hhould not acouiit
for earthquake? with ns much accuracy
and precision ns tbey have for the
celiptet of tho sun and moon. With
John I'lioeiiix 1 am ready to exclaim,
"that tho wiet men iu England and
America during our revolution were
very ignorant mm compared to those
of tho present day. Washington, Jeff.
..., . . .
erson and I-ianklin wcro very ignorant
compared to very common men of the
preent genvration. They knew but lit
tle of the power of atearn. Nothing of
Railroads or telegraph, nnd but littlo
of the wonderful power of electricity;
therefore I am not afraid to adopt the
new theory that earthquakes are cane
ed bv heaven! v bodies, ami not by in-
tcrnal commotion. Earthquakes may
make volcanoes, but volcanoes do not
make earthquake.

Luxuries nnd conquests nro tba result

which ha scorns has tricked him into

Whero gets ho his garmenting and

which makes muic in tho mine, aud
