Fearful Destruction of Proparty. London, September 1.
Fuethbb intelligence received from South Caroline regarding the earthquakes gives harrowing details. The town of Charleston was completely isolated— bridges, railways, and telegraph lines being destroyed. There were ten shocks, which- nearly maddened the inhabitants—the dead being left still unburied. Many terrible and affecting scenes were witnessed at Richmond, Virginia— the convicts in the city gaol making frantic efforts to escape. The town of Bummerville has been nearly destroyed, and the damage to property in South Carolina is immense.
