ood a eed het sar committed to the cause of Grant all those respectable old gentlemen who used to call themselves democrats, and who have such a Ratural fondness for that old party name that they cannot relinquish it even when they wrap themselves up in republican principles, It is another sign of the times of the clinging to the issnes of the rebellion, that the name war democrats should figure in another can- vase. Me Seymour's BiunpgRs.—Horatio Seymour presided at the Chicago Convention of 1864, which declared for peace in the midst of the war, which was a great blunder; and he presided atthe Tammany Convention of 1868, which nominated him on a, war platform in the midst of peace, which was 4 great blunder. But his greatest blunder was his acceptance of thie nomination when he was expected, just once more and finally, to decline it. Tas Upper Parr or Tue Ciry, from Forty- sixth to Fiftieth street, is in ’a most deplorable condition. The debris of old houses, the pre- parations for putting up new ones, and the wretched state of the pavements generally render this portion of the city almost impass- able. What are thé street inspectors doing? Electioneering or naturalizing voters, or what? AMUSEMENTS. ACADEMY oF MUSIC.—Notwithstanding the partic- ‘ularly disagreeable weather which prevailed, an un- ‘usualiy large and brilliant audience assembled at the Academy last evening to witness the second appear- ‘ance of Miss Kellogg, and the enthusiasm with which the charming prima donna was grected ex- ‘ceeded that manifested on the previous evening. In response to the frantic applause with which the cavatina “Luce di quest? anima’ was received, Miss Kellogg sang “1 Know a Maiden” in her most bewitching manner, accompanying herseif on the Piano. In the duet from “Hamlet” Miss Kellogg ‘was fairly sustained by Signor Petrelli, and the man- ner in which she was supported in the third act of Gounod’s ‘Faust was a marked improvement on *‘ausistance” rendered on the previous evening. As Marguerite Miss Kellogg is superb; her acti i per- feotion and her voice marvellonsly adapted. ‘The management deserves great credit for the improve- ments already effected and will doubtiess make every offort to secure artists fully worthy of sup-" porting so enchanting a priina donna. NIsLO’s GARDEN.—Edwin Forrest as Othello, the Majestic, strongly loving, flercely hating, implaca- bie Moor, with auch support as was given last even- ing at this establishment, is a performance well ‘worthy of being seen. Mr. Forrest, despite the persistent cavils of cozening cliques, has hewed his way to the very foremost rank of histrionic excel- lence and has so steadily maintained that position that he must now be acknowledged the leader of the di ‘ic world. he has mannerisins of 8 h and bearing which are at times objectiona- ble; but ord can be readily overlooked in the ad- mtration his otherwwe grand impersonations. His bodily portraiture of the mental pertur- bation of the sw: soldier last evening received, as it well merited, the hearty plaudits of a large and intelligent audience. Mr. G. H. Clark (styled on the programme G. H. Gilbert), in the part of Iago, far exceeded the expectations of his most sanguine friends. In correctness of reading, in ease and naturalness of action and delivery he proved himself @ genuine artist. He was, indeed, a most consuin- mate villain, with fair face and foul heart, the former naturally seed and the latter most skil- fally portrayed. Mias Lillie, as Desdemona, showed conclusively the effects of active study and efticient training, and gave to the character a cap- tivating \ ped and beautifal delineation. Madame Ponisi, i¢ is almost .neediess to say, was exceilent. When is she not? ‘The other members of the com- Peny sustained their ia most commendable style. Mr. Mordaunt, as Michacl Cassio, was re- markably fine, and did the getting drunk so natu- raily (no insinuations on the gentleman) that a well known character in the audience, who was laboring ‘ander “the influence,’ insisted that Mr. Mordaunt was mocking him.

Masical and Theatrical Notes. ‘The Théatre Francais, after an interregnum of four nights, opens this evening with the gushing, blushing “Genevieve de Brabant,” the last sensation of the effervescent Offenbach. This operetta was performed in Paris upwards of 250 consecutive nights, and as our citizens are passionately fond of mirth, musio, wit and fun, all of which qualities, it is said, abound in “Genevieve,” there 1s no reason why, if properly placed upon the stage, it should not prove proportionately attractive and success- ful in this city.

San Fraacisce Shattered by an Earthquake Yesterday Morniug—Immense Damage Done—Time, Length and Direction ef the Shocke—Coluuus ef Water Shot Up Out of the Streets. SAN FRANCTSCO, Oct, 21, 1868, By far the most terrible earthquake that ever visited this coast occarred this morning at seven minutes before eight o’clock, The shocks were tre- mendous, and the vibrations were, 80 far as Iam able to judge from the report of others, from north- west to southeast, and were prolonged. It ta impossible to estimate the damage at this time, but It has been very great. That portion of the city east of Montgomery atreet is very much wrecked. Some buildings are down entirely, others are cracked and split from foundation to roof und hardly one has escaped more or less damage. ‘There has been some loss of life, but how much we are yet unable to determine. After the first heavy shocks several others oc- curred, but of mach less violence. Business is nearly entirely suspended and half the population is in the street. In several parts of the city, upon the made groand, the earth has opened and water has been thrown up from the cracks to the height of several feet. On some of the streets the buildings have sunk some inches and been left mm every conceivable shape. Scarcely @ building in the eastera section of this city isnow plumb. The principal hotels have suffered, but sustain no very serious damage. Gf course they, as well as every other house, were vacated as soon a8 possible by thoirinmates. We hear that at Uak- land, San Leandro, San José and other parts of the State the damage lias been very great. They appear to have had the’ shock as heavy aa ourselves. All the telegraph wires were disarranged, and not one was working tor seme time. All the clocks were stopped at the time given above. To say that the excitement is tremendous does not begin to describe the condition of atfairs. I will gend more as soon as further Information ts had. Additional Particulars of the Kilects Earthquake. SAN FAANCISCO, Oct. 21—Evening. Several buildings on Pine, Battery and Sansom streets were thrown down and a considerable num- ber badiy damaged. The ground settled which threw buildings out of line. Several severe shocks have followed at intervals since, creating @ general alarm among the people. The shock was felt with great severity at San Joaé, where a nuraber of build- ings are considerably injured. The principal damage in this city is confined to the lower portion below Montgomery street, and among the old buildings on the made ground. Numerous houses in that portion of the city have been abandoned and pulled down. The Custom House, a brick building, built on ptle ground, which was badly shattered by the earthquake of October, 1865, 18 considered unsafe and the officials have re- moved to the Revenue ‘buildings. Business in the lower part of the city is suspended. The parapet walls and chimneys of a number of buildings have been thrown down, causing loss of life. The damage will not exceed a million dollars. At Oakland the shock was very severe, throwing down chimneys and greatly damagaing a number of buildings. The ground opened in weveral places and a strong sulphurous smell was noticed after the shock. The Court House at and one life lost. From various portions of the country and in the vicinity of San Francisco bay the shock is reported as severe, and considerable damage is sustained. In Many places the earth opened and water gushed forth. The streets are crowded thia evening with an ex- cited multitude discussing the particulars of the dis- estrous earthquake. Twelve shocks were felt during the day. The direction of the shock was from the North to the South, though some descriptions give @ rotary motion. The greatest damage extends in a belt several hundred feet wide, and running about northwest and southeast, com- mencing near the Custom Honse and ending at Folsom street wharf, injuring and demolishing about twelve buildings in its course. At the corner of Market and First streets the ground opened sev- eral inches wide and about forty or fifty feet wide. ‘The City Hall may be considered a perfect wreck. ‘The courts have all adjourned and the prisoners have been taken from the stationg houses to the County Jail. All the patients in tie United States Marine Hospital have been removed, the building having been deciared unsafe. The chimney of the United States Mint is so badly damoged that the es- tablishment t# closed for repairs, Hagers type foundry suffered greatly. Z The Lincoln School House is badly damaged, and the large statue in front of the building completely buried. All business at the General Delivery Post OmMice is temporarily suspended. The San Francisco Gas Works suffered severely, the tall chimney hav- ing been thrown over, fell through the roof, The Mission Woollen Milis is considerabiy damaged. ‘The large chimney of the sugar refinery on Eighth street ia badly cracked. The-gable end on the girls’ side of the Deaf, Dumb and Blind Institnte feil in, crushhing throngh the ceilings. Many chir- neys in the southern part of the city were thrown down, but no one wag serlously injured by, them. Only four lives have been reported lost, although numbers are serionsly injured by the fail- ing débria. The Water in the bay was perfectiy smooth at the time of the shocks and no perceptible disturbance took place. The shock waa felt aboard the shipping in the harbor as if the vessela had struck upon 3 rock. - ‘The earthquake was severe in the interior. Shocks were felt at Sacrameuto and Stockton. ‘The Centrat Coast and Alameda Company's build- ing was thrown down and some Iives lost. ‘The Mare Island Navy Yard experienced two heavy shocks. Several buildings were thrown down and some of the butidings considerabiy shaken, but No serious injury occurred.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 20, 1868. The advices frow Japan report that the Mikado had issued his proclamation declaring that the city of Jeddo, the capital of Japan, shall be hereafter called Toakei, or the Fastern Capital. The port of Jeddo was to have been opened to for- eigners on the 1st day of October. The present Gov- ernor of Yokohama had requested that she foreign representatives be transferred to Jeddo.
