Tcriiblo ICurtUquuko -Great Louts of Life Cities and Xoivus Swallowed Up. New York, Sept. 12. The Guiding Star, from Asplnwall, brings to the Evening Telegram the following : On the ldth Inst, a terrible earthquake visited the cities along the coast of Peru and Knuador, whereby U3.UUU lives ware lost, and property valued at throe hundred millions of dollars destroyed. A tumbling sound preceded the earthquake, and the sea was terribly agitated, floodiug the land to a great distance. Arequlpa, a city of 85,000 inhabi tants, passed away, scarcely a vestige left. Only 400 lives were lost here. Arlca, a town of 25,000 Inhabitants, was also destroyed, leaving not a house standing; 500 perished here. A tidal wave, forty feet high, rolled with a terrific roar on shore, carrying ships further on land than ever known before. The United States steamship Fredonia capsized, and all on board perished. The Fredonia had a million and eight hun dred thousand dollars worth of naval stores ou board. The vessel was rolled over and smashed to atoms. The United States steamer Wateree was carried half a mllo Inland and left high and dry. Only one sailor was drowned. Owing to tho great distance she never can be got afloat again. The Peruvian Corvette American was also carried ashore. Thirty-three persons were drowned from her. The American merchantman Rosa Rivers, the English ship uiiancciior, auri mo r rencn bark Edward were also lost. The towns of Iqueqa, Moquega, Lerinnba and Plsaqua were also utterly destroyed. Over COO perished at Iqueqa. The American merchants lose heavily nearly all arc totally ruined. Tho towns of Iguarra, San Pablo, Atnutagul and Irnantad are lu ruins. Where Cotacachl formerly stood Is now a lake. The populations of the above named towns were almost entirely destroyed. Pamcho, Puellaro and Caehlguanls were also destroyed. The dead are so numerous that tho surviving Inhabitants have been forced to fly from the stench of putrlfylng bodies. In Guayaquil the earthquake was felt, but no damage was done. Letters from Quito, dated tho 19th, announce that earthquakes contlnuo at intervals of a few hours. Tho President issued a pr0l:fmatlon to tho people to come forward and help sufferers. HAVANA, Sept. 12. Advices have been received here announcing that Peru and Equator have been visited with tho most terriblo enrthquako ever known. Tho shocks occurred on tho 10th of August and lasted only five mlu'utcs. In that short time 25,000 persons perished', and 3,000 were mado houseless. The sea rose 40 feet, and swept tho coast with Irresistible Jury. The cities of Arequlpa, Iqulque, Tvhala an J Chucha havo been utterly destroyed. Tho loss of property, between Tacna and Arlcn, Is estimated at fll,000,000. Tho United States steamer Kearsagc was rendering assistance to the sufferers. LATER. Nrw York, Sept. 1!). Letters from Lima, Pern, giro additional details of tho earthquake and Its effects. The earthquake commenced at half-past live on tho tenth of August, extending from Bolivia to tho Southern ports of Chill on tho coast, and over ono hundred miles inland. Tho towns and cities mentioned in the dispatches of last night were literally ruined, as all the buildings which were not destroyed were so badly damaged as to require demolition for prudential reasons. All the public edifices In Arlca was destroyed, Including tho custom house, which contained more than four million dollars worth of goods, all of which are lost. Tho loss of the Fredoula and landing of tho Waterce, arc described as follow?: They were both at anchor In the harbor of Arlca, and near each other; after the drat shock had occurred on tho laud, which created great consternation on board both vessels, Dr. Dubois, surgeon and paymaster of the Fredonla.took a boat and went on shore to enquire for the welfare of friends and offer the services of the ship. In a few moments after leaving the vessel, a great upheaval of the waters of the bay commenced and the Fredonla parting her chains was dashed to pieces on the reef, nothing of the vessel was saved. The officers and crew, 27 in all, were lost, also Mrs. Dyer, wife of the Lieutenant commanding. The Wateree was more securely anchored, but she dragged anchors, and a great tidal wave swept her 450 yards Inlaud, about two miles north of the ruiued town. She now lies between two hillocks of sands very slightly Injured, and It will be utterly impossible to extricate her. Ci!"ne sailor was washed ovcrboarJ and drowned. The Peruvian Corvette America n shared the same fate as the Wateree, but lost three ofllcers and thirty men. A letter from Arlca dated August 22d, says two other vessels, the brig Chaucaricols and bark Ednorado, are also high and dry, the former losing eight men. - The scane beggars description. Railroad rails, cars, machinery, gun carriages, household furniture, barrels, dead animals and mutilated corpses are lying ubout in confusion. The city numbered 7,000 inhabitants, and its multitudes stand helplessly beggared on the beach. Three thousand lives Avere lost. A conflagration burned nearly all that was not demolished by the earthquake, and a drunken rabble robbed and despoiled what remained. The stench Is sickening. At Lima there was not much damage done, although the shock lasted about four minutes. Admiral Turner, with the frigate Powhat-tan, left Lima with a full cargo of provisions, and had arrived at Arlca to succor American seamen and the inhabitants. The Kearsage had reached Arica from Coquomba with provisions.Two French men-of-war also left Lima to aid the inhabitants at Arica and other places on the coast, who are starving. American Minister Hovey, at Lima, was energetically aiding to the extent of his power. The merchants and citizens of Lima are contributing by thousands of dollars to equip and load vessels with clothing provisions, &c, and the Government is most energetically using all Its means to alleviate distress. At Callao the sea burst over the line of houses, skirting the shore at 10 o'clock at night on the 13th, completely gutting them of their contents. The panic was extreme when the fire broke out, aud fifty-seven houses in the business portion of the city were destroyed. No lives were lost. The Chlncha Islands felt the earthquake and the wave, but not seriously, as yet known. The cities of Ida and Pisco al.-o suffered heavily, forty houses being overthrown and twelve lost at the former. Nearly all the population of Calais fled to Lima. The port of Chala was completely covered by water. At Iquque ihe shock lasted near four minutes, after which the waves came and destroyed about three-quarters of the place, with many lives, nearly all the provisions aud tho condensing machluery which supplied the Inhabitants with drinking water. Provisions and water have been sent them from Valparaiso. Over 000 people were drowned at Arequlpa. The earthquake commenced a few minutes past 5 In the morning, and In a few minutes nearly every house was leveled to the ground. The inmates of the prisons and hospitals nerrly all perished in the destruction of those buildings. The shocks continued at intervals, nearly one hundred occurring in three days. The city is one mass of complete ruin. The river has changed to three colors, showing volcanic eruptions, and Mount Mi-otl was actively throwing out lava, smoke aud quantities of mud. The river emits a sulphurous odor, and rocks and earth are constantly falling from the mountain crater. No one dares go where tho city was. The people arc living In tents on the banks of tho river. At Paucarlpata hundreds of lives were lost by being crushed to death by the falling of houses when the earthquake occur red. . From Guayaquil, under date of August 20th, we have brief accounts of the earthquake In Ecuador. In the city of Guayaquil but little damago was done. The towns of Ibura, tho capital of the proviuce of Iraabura, San Publo, Atlmtaqul and Imautcd are In ruins. A lake of water Is now occupying the site of tho town of Cntacachl. Tho entire populations of these towns and of Otanalo perished, amounting to nearly au.uw souls. At Quito the earthquake commenced at 20 minutes to 1 A. M., August 10th, and continued nt Intervals of a few hours up to last dates. Eighteen churches aud public buildings and private dwellings are already In ruins, and the peonlo were living In tents iu tho great squares of tho towns adjoining Quito. Perucho, Puellaro and Cachiguarizo havo almost entirely disappeared with their Inhabitants; tho few left alive being obliged to flee to escape tho pestilence arising from dccomDOslnsdead, The towns of frMcfco and San Antonio havo also disappeared. The number of deaths In the city of Quito is not known, but a large proportion of the wealthy inhabitants had uw! f"'1 Pestilence or disease.A Valparaiso loiter of Aug. 17th says : Ad-vices received from Talcnhuano state that at 0 o'clock, on tho 14tu of August, three earthquakes occurred. The second caused an Immense tidal wave, which swept away fully one-half of tho town and rendered tho other h;H almost uninhabitable. Four lives only were lost, the Inhabitants fleeing to tho hills. At Torno the same occurred, but being higher, little damago was done. UabIJa, tho MexMowcs Islands, PJsaqmi, and oil the cities and towns in fact from Cape Francisco, In Equador, to tho Mlgalon Straits, suffered more or less from tho terrible visitation. It was thought at Quito that the volcano of Copaxl was at work, but nothing dvllnlto is stated to that effect. Where Arlca onco was not even a tree Is left. Tho towns of Moqucgn and Arequlpa were destroyed. Tacna, In the samo neighborhood, lost sixty houses and ono hundred and fifty lives, mostly children, who were returning from school. Tho town of Mejla was swept away, only 20 out of 500 Inhabitants escaping. The earth has opened in several places on the plains, and pampas and water has appeared, 111 UntMA SNlnnns tint tltn Tllf Vfmtttllrv fWt.n At... mu owing lilttira uun tft.vi iiiiu tiuiu US new chasm.

The port of Los Lamas has been united to the Islands in the Bay of Cal lao. By the action of the earthquake over 300,000 persons are without shelter, and bread commissions are being formed. The ladies are making clothes and the Government of Peru Is straining its utmost to alleviate the distress. LOUISIANA. Excitement In Sew Orleans Federal Troop Asked 'or. New York, Sept. 12. A special dispatch from New Orleans states that Intense excitement existed there over the proposed Republican procession to-night. The Governor will apply to Gen. Buchanan for Such disposition of troops as may be necessary to preserve ordvr. Gen. Hatch has issued the following : "Fiieedmen's Bureau, ) "NevT C3LEANS, La., Sept. 11, '68. ) "There will be a largo torch-light procession here to-morrow night, in which many colored men will participate. Intense excitement exists, which forces me to request that the General commanding be Instructed to dispose of troops to prevent an assault, which may result In wide-spread and general destruction of life and property." There will be an immense turn out of colored men, who are arriving In crowds from the interior. They are enthusiastic and determined, and iu case of outrage, it is feared, will inflict terrible retribution. CANADA. Reported offer of Troop to IVovu Scotia by the I ailed Suites. Ottawa, Sept. 12. The Recorder, anti-Union, of this evening, contains tho following: There are rumors on the streets to-day of a communication having been sent from a general in the United States to an official in this province, offering from fifteen to twenty thousand troops to Nova Scotia, if necessary, to insure secession from the Dominion. The communication was sent to headquarters, and the contents was at onco transmitted to the authorities of Canada and Great Britain. The report is entirely discredited here. The AVhalcn Trial. Whalen's trial was continued to-day. A number of witnesses were examined for the defense, but nothing of material importance was elicited. At the request of prisoner's counsel, the court adjourned the case at two o'clock, until ten A. M. to-morrow, in order to allow tho arrival of important witnesses from Cincinnati. Previous to the adjournment of the court, tho jury visited the scene of the murder, with a view of obtaining information concerning certain contradictory poiuts in the evidence. Sir John A.
