Ti EARTHQUAKES. A Column of Water Thrown Out of the Ground at Iquique. Graphic Description of the Sea Bore at Arica. HIGHLY VALUABLE OFFICIAL DATA, TIIE CONVULSION M PGKI'. Th? Scene at A rira?Hflori1 uoil Alicr lie Calamity?Direction of the Slioi-Un?Valuable Fat-In. 1*1800, Aumist 9, 1*68. On the afternoon of the loth Inst., between five minutes past live and ten minutes jia.ii Ave o'clock, both tlieaeaand the land hereabouts were the scene of an appalling calamity. The full area covered is not yet known, but so far we are sure that it reaches from Oobija to L'hala, the ia9t port where we cast anchor. Chala is in ruins, and the destruction was dealt inland as l'ar as Arequipa, which no longer exists. 1 viewed the sad sight of Ariea's desolation, aniJ I will tlrat tell you what I saw before stating what lias reached my ears about scene* of ruiu Inland. When we left Coqulnibo on the 18th several changes in tho atmosphere were noticed, bni wadded no importance to them. Ordinarily at Arica an agreeable breeze la felt from ten A. M. until Ave , P. M., and at night there is a calm which in summer causes as an almost unbearable feeling. About this time, however, the above order of things onanged. At morning there wiu rarely any breeze, whue at night there were strong gusts ot wind that tirred up the sea very much. On the l.tth inst. the water wore a dead calm for gome time. Towards Ave o'clock in the afternoon a l'resh breeze from the south set in, but it lasted only while the damage was being doue. A noise like to that of a tempest disappearing In the distance preceded the awful hock of earthquake and the ground begun to aliake from south to north with so . great force that all the buildings began to shed their decorations and in a few moments tumbled to the ground themselves. The wooden buildings stood a Jew seconds longer than their stone-built neighbors. All at once the cry was heard?"The sea ! the sea !" On looking towards the water we saw at a glance that wo had to move rapidly to the hills or be engulfed, for the sea had, to use the expression, hrugged up to an Immense height. We could not measure it. In an Instant it rushed impetuously on the shore, which was shaking from the earthquake. The vessels were at anchor in sight. They were now pitched ruthlessly northward, then southward, and tossed thus to and fro for some momenta bv waves about thirty feet high, when they were cast ashore or dashed to pieces on the reefs. Five ditfcrcut times did suoh a wave rise, but the last four times its height, was less than the first. Had the waves risen a few feet higher they would have washed away the upper portion of town, which, however, ha* beeu rendered uninhabitable by the shocks of the earth. These shocks kept us in terror. They recurred on the tirst day every quarter of an hour and on the aecond day every hour. There, in the town, stands a palm tree unshaken by the convulsion and untouched by the sea, its leaves as green as ever. hi iquique bay, out of six vensels at unclior only ne was lost. Mejlllones has been completely wiped at. One shanty on a rock and th<> vessel Condor is all the property saved. Of all the saltpetre regions Wsagua has suffered least.

M., thin vessel was cast ashore l>y a great wave resulting from an earthquake, which destroyed the <ity of Artca and sacrificed marry lives. Ah far as i can learn but one of in.v crew has per-, tahed, although many of those that I sent ashore to render help are still missing. The atoreshlp Fredonla ha* been completely , wrecked, only her commander, t;. w. Doty, the purirr, surgeon and two of the crew being atnontr the saved. The bodies of Master David Organ and five of the crew have beeu wanned ashore and wc are making ready for their interment. The Waterec lies about three miles to the northwest of the city and about four hundred and tiny yards inland. Although her hull has suffered much still she appears to be in perfect condition. Not ' a plank has been started, ami she stands upritrhi an though in a dry dock. Considering her position j audita slight elevation above Die sea we do not think it possible to float her again. It would be impossible to dig under her, us the means arc not ut hand, and It would cost more tlun what the vessel Is worth. My crew remain aboard by day, but as the rumbling of earthquakes still continues and the Peruvian aioop-of-war America is ashore below us iu a direct line, with broadside on us, I have deemed it advisable to remove them. Another sea bore would smash both vessels. I lent what aid in the way or provisions that I could to the inhabitants of Arica. but have bee n forced to suspend it, as 1 have scarcely what will snfllce for my men. 1 shall temaln by my vessel until further instructions from you.

Tltf Brooklyn Yacht Club Chowder Kxnrwion 10 New Dorp. Pursuant to the invitation of Commodore (Jeorge W. Kidd the members of the Brooklyn Yacbt Club assembled yesterday at New Dorp, 8. I., where they were eatertaiued with all the delicacies and festivities ever attendant on an excellent chowder display. The morning was delightfully line, a beautiful and refreshing breeze tempering the hot rays of the rising sun, aud by half-past nine o'clock the club house was filled with the numerous guests who with the spirit of true yachtmen manifested every anxiety to take advantage of the wind. Seven yachts were in readiness to join the cruise and were quickly ' boarded by the pleasure seekers, who subsequently realized all the bright anticipations of a tine sail and pleasant day. The gun from the Commodore's lively craft signalled 'lie fleet to start, aud shortly after the following yaclita sped rapidly towards the Narrows:?Alice (Commodore Kidd), Restless, Falcon, Raima T. , Niagara, Letona and Apollo, wltli numerous small fry in the rear. Quite a regular contest took place, and heedles* of the freshening breeze sails ran up like lightning and were as quickly hauled 111 again, for the balf a gale that blew outside ilie Narrows warned the minor craft to beware. I The Alice led the way In splendid style, while her i friends pursued her in hot though cautious haste, so that the competition lent pleasure to the surrouuding beauties ol the scene. It was the Intention 01 the fleet to drop anchor off New Dorp, but the strength of the wind decided that course to be impraoUcable, and eventually the Alice, with the other yachts, wheeled around and lay Hume distance off the third lauding at staten Islaud, within a lew yards ol the DaanuMS.* Arrived on shore the parly, numbering about one hundred and twenty, proceeded in the steam cars to New Dorp, where carriages were in waiting to convey thein to the grounds of the Itichuiorid Club. Never dUI worshippers urouud an Indian sacnlice more earnestly or more religiously regard tnelr burning pile than did the hal/ dozen sturdy looking men who grouped around the cauldron that was to give forth the long expected clauibake; never did the witches in MucbclH"/dir more vigorously than the gallant fellows who dashed with coiuairc al the volcanic heap and booked up the burning stones fur culinary purposes Hushels of tempting claniH, scores of jumping lobsters, dozens of wide awake oysters and render chickens frizzled and simmered with dellclous utusle, winch bided awhy in bewitchingHounds uk i tie fresh seaweed wan heaped on lop. Then out rushed fumes of delightful iragruuce, and as the li)H' k pail was spread upon the victims new sounds broke upou the ear. Seated under a spacious awnlug the guest." sar. down to an excellent eel chowder, engineered l>y Mr. Van Dyke and thoroughly enjoved by all. Succeeding this came Uiesmoking i iaintiake, piping hot sud cooked to perfection. The supply was equal 10 the demand, and the most complete harmony prevailed, if benignant faces and complacent smiles be any criterion of friendship and enjoyment. All iu all the clambake was u masterpiece of culinary skill. In reply to the toast or his health (Commodore Rldd briefly returned thanks in appropriate remarks, stating that be looked forward to a recurrence of such pleasant scenes. Subsequently the party adjourned to the stand house of the trotting course arid witnessed a well contested walking match of threequartera of a mile, which gave rise to much amusement, as did also a race well won by a smart seaman of the Alice crew. Other simple and entertaining recreations contributed to the enjoyment of the occasion. The thanks of the guests were conveyed to the Commodore, who rendered his acknowledgments in a lew o!nervations.

What Our Milliner* aad Mod Intra Arc Doing Preparatory to Opening Day?Mplendid I atporta (lea* aad Native Deal* n??The Fall aad Winter be Be Brilliaat in Urmtw and Beaaeta. Anticipator; of "Opening Da;'* among the leading milliners and many of our dressmakers, a tIwH was paid yesterday to the places of manufacture of a few of them, and examined such suits for the promenade, dresses for dinner, evening and the ball and reception rooms as were gotten up, and also the gems among the hats and bonnets. Of course, in the haste of preparation, for the days are few bet weeu this and the ?!d, those who are engaged in making ' preparations bud but little tnne to exnatialc on their novelties or the original conceptions as to form ami st.vics of trimming which are me offspring of the inspirational Mes'iames who, in the areua of fashion, sit on the tripod and publish to a sphere of feminine adorers the flat* of the all powerful goddess. It is to he noticed that as the clnguon is still a paramount as well as prominent part of a lady's culture, the form of the bonnet Is liut slightly altered. It is a trine higher and less pointed in front, but there is Deyond tills no appreciable difference in the frame Itself from that of the summer or present style. The coverings are generally of silk and velvet, or wholly of the latter, while the trimmings in lace and ribbons and dowers are even more profuse than heretofore. The dresses, such of ttiem as we had the pleasure of looking upon, as well us the cloaks, are all made of extremely rich materials, and mostly of the period of Louis XIV. It Is but Just to here remark that very many of our leading irwdiittes have not yet thought of introducing their styles in private, while others will not permit even the argus-eyed press to look upon their treasures lest they should lie held up to the world, which would, especially that part of it that is given to pilfering Ideas as well as things, might, Mofe/w voletis, appropriate them to their protlt and the Inventor's loss. Notwithstanding this reticence It Is but Just to say tnat those who hold hack, not less than those who advance In making knowu their discoveries in the esthetics of dress, of the toilet, are fully prepared to meet even the extravagant demands of their customers. But here is what was seen:? K. THOMPSON A CO. Among the hats particularly examined was a Priucesse Royale, of white velvet, trimmed with a drooping lily, mounted with a bunch of green frosted leaves, which, falllug over the back, was linlslied with a veil of white Spanish lace. Tho strings, also of Spanish lace, were trimmed with an edging one Inch wide of satin pipings and blonde lace. The strings are so arranged that thev lap over each other and fastened with pearl, in leaf form, ornaments. This is an elegant affair, and we are of the impression that It will be exceedingly popular with ladies. A brilliant carriasre bonnet, a la gypsy, trimmed In black velvet, with a band of green shaded ribbon that passes around the back, to which are added fastenings of bertlie, with black Brussels lace, shaded with spots to match the ribbon, fastened at the back with a large rosette of the same shade, ornamented with a large lunebug. A larpre black rose surmounts the front of the hat. with a trailing vine falling to the left, of autumn leaves and small rosebuds. This hat was made in Purl a aiwl iu innrk<>il fit. ti.V 4 full nvnnincr Mrpnu bonnet, made In the atelier of the Ann, of black Hruseels lace, embroidered with floss and trimmed with black i bread lace an inch wide. A string (alls over and forms the letter V. which is also of lace, added to which are pipings of sal in of the Sultana tint. Tho coronet is a full band of royal velvet, of the same shade as the satin, and is fastened In front by a handsome jet ornament. The back is trimmcil with a fall of wide thread lace, fastened to a large bow of satin rlbl>on, with a jet to match the one in front of the coronet. On the right K placed tin ostrich tip of the Sultana color. The bounei, a most lovely affair, is worth $;w. MADAMK IH7VOL. This lady's reception rooms in Itroadway are well stocked with patterns In the latest anil most popular styles of dresses, cloaks ami mantillas. Among dozens of very attrac tive attain, we noticed a dress a lourreau. This costume is composed ol a basque and sash attached, cut in one piece. The suit is stylish to a degree and is Bui!able for evening toilet or for the pronienado. We next examined a brown dress trimmed with white satin, and having a rotunda with cardinal capes and full tournnre. There was also on the model a new costume called the marchioness, a splendid petit panler conception, with basqulne mantilla. Also a panler double, in lavender, similar In other respects io the beautiful mpblOMII, There was also a Oomtesse Pubarry, very elegant in expression, fully puffed, and designed as a promenade costume. | There were many other styles, but we have only space to notice, of the dresses, a Pompadour robe de charnbre ana an elegant Waiteau waist aud skirt. At this place we were introduced to a cloak?lmlf circular, sacqne and Watteau combined?a most brilliant aiTair. To be exceedingly presentable the body of this cloak should be of black velvet, the capes of satin and trimmed with lace and satin or crotchet work, Willi buttons of the same. This cloak c.in bo made In any rich goods, such .is silk, saflns or velvets. There was also a mantilla cloak, to be made Inpurple'or brown plush or velvet, trimmed wiih lace aud satin.

A leading creation for ihe head Is a cap. ? la /'"Umaifie at Parisian Invention). but greatly Improved by Muoauie. The crown of this covering is somewhat of the torque style, Is full at the back, declining towards the front, giving h pretty, soft auil becoming look to Hie face. The bodyIs or an elegant pale pink satin, trimmed with white Cliantilly lace, having a fall and strings of the same bound with satin to correspond Willi the btsly of the cap. This elegant little affair Is set off on the right side with a bouquet of moss buds. The cos! of this cap is fNL Ne*t we looked at a geuulne tocque. composed in the body of black velvet elaborately embroidered in Jet. The peculiarity of ihe hat. and a decided novelty, consists in the hri'le, which Is composed of Chantlliy lace Ove yards in width, which passes over the hack or the hat, puffed, every four inches joined with a bow of black satin. The coronet of this elegant contrivance is of jet, set off on the right with an eavie's plume, added to which Is an aigrette. The cost of this invention Is $n0. This lady also offered lor criticism a magmcent ballet costume, which, when completed (It is not yet wholly trimmed), will command the high price of fTOO. The trimmings of the underskirt extend haif-way up. and are composed of tans, top and bottom, with puffs in the centre, fastened with rosettes of black >alln. The waist is plaited, with fans, also, fastened with rosettes, falling half way down to the skirt. The train is fastened by a yoke, but can. at the will of the wearer, lie worn as a train or walking dress, m txiitmr. The enure costume is of heavy corded silk. MADAMF HON' PA KT. ?

The President of the Senate and Hie Speaker of iin- iiuusr cm itepresemauves were, n.y resolution 01 Congress, directed to adjourn their respective houses until the third .Monday of September, lstis, nud on that day, unless tiieu otherwise ordered by the two house*, they were directed to lurther adjourn their respective houses until the tlrst Monday in December. In accordance with the request of the republican members of the fortieth CongresB the undersigned decide and respectfully recoinmeud that tlicre be a full attendance of both houses of Congress ton Monday, the 2lst day of September instant, promptly at twelve o'clock noon. It Is not expected that general legislative business will be entered into at that time, or that the session need be longer than necessary to provide lor another adjournment, it is important that there should be such general attendance of members as will secure the presence of a quorum in each house. K. I). MORGAN, Chairman Union Republican Committee. ROBERT 0. SCtlKNCK, Chairman Republican Congressional Committee. In the course of conversation with these gentlemen they, as have other memiiers, expressed themselves in favor of a further adjournment until the 21st of October. They did not, however, think proper to so recommend, believing that litis is a sut> ject to be determined by Congress itself. Senator Morgan left for New York to-niglit, but will return by Monday. General Schenck will remain here three or four days after Monday next to attend to business connected with the Cnlon Republican Congressional Committee. Senator Wade and Speaker Colfax will airive hero on Friday or Saturday. Members of Congress continue to arrive, aud it Is thought there certainly will be a quorum in the ] House, though whether there will be in the Senate yet remains somewhat doubtful. The opinion of the most of the members who arc here Is thai.no legislation should be aitempted other than providing for adjournment, and it is believed that a caucus of the members of both houses will be held on the luth Instant to decide the question regarding the necessity of entering into other business.

IX tlie reopening of .tlie I'aterson race course, which took place yesterday under new and Improved management, had been more generally known there In MMIu ilnnkt A verv liiriw 11 HHP 1111ilmre Would liaVfi appeared on the grounds. No better day for a hone race ever dawned on the banks of the Passaic. It was cool, crisp and clear, with a flood ot sunshiue in the early morning and through the noontide that gave a gay and laughing look to the river, woods a ml meadows. The track was In prlino condition, with the slight exception of a few perches of damp clay on the three-quarter ?tretch. Elsewhere it was dry ami smooth as a billiard table, and yielded to the tread like a Brussels carpet on a six inch layer of straw paper. As it is there are just six iiii-hes of stable manure laid beneuth the finest of gritty gravel. If nature be true to her \egetative instincts there should lie a line crop of something verdant on this track next spring. I'p to noon a horse and a harrow, with a darky m charge, kept moving around the course reducing the uneven surface to a uniform level. After it was all done the track appeared as if It had been dressed with a tiue tooth comb?an appearance which produced a very favorable impression. The first train or cars brought the LtonaJUle horsemen, not In very large numbers, but still in sufficient force to make a respectable nucleus around Dr. Underwood's pool. The Doctor was, as usual, up to his eyes in business, with a bright smile and a merry weicomejfor every one. Long life to him! If i'aterson race course tall to prove a brilliant success under his management then the world must be out of joint or the eternal fltness of tilings works to a disadvantage. The horsemen gathered 111 a cluster on the broad piazza of the lintel, and to the initiated eye it was easy to perceive they were all gentlemen acquainted with the mysteries or the race course, the Une and faulty points of every running animal and all the rest of that extensive repertoire of knowledge appertaining to the turf. To anyliody else the preliminaries ol a race are a bore. To the mere casual visitor nothing is interesting but the flying steeds, and to the morbidly inclined the breaking or a jockey's neck over a Hurdle fence must be an additional spice of entertainment. Hovering around the hotel was a cloud of bootblacks, evidently improvised for the occasion, as they cerialniy never came from tho neighborhood of the City Hall, and the thing seemed Impossible that they could ever derive a revenue to pay even lor peanuts in the rural retreats of I'aterson. Though bootblacks they were all white boys, but a number of darkies, with the gcunlne African wool. amalgamated themselves witii the rest, talking horse and making bets ranging from live cents to the price of a 1'aturnon cigar. Then tliere was a host of stablemen, with bits of plain, green ribbon? members wore the name color, -watered?lounging about, in every direction.' Ah a rule the> wtn dressed in ttio conventional way, with tight fitting, leathery-looking panialoons, socky boots and gayly colored neckerchiefs. They appeared very cheerlul, and are no doubt a contented race of men. The pool selling might have toon mora nWtMl if the result ot each race was involved in greater doubt, but the pro ailing disposition being In favor of a certain horse in each of the entries competition was deprived of Its most lively edge. Wagons of rustic shape and make came struggling in about noon ami deposited full loads of eight-seeing and fun-loving lads and lassies. The grand stand had a fair sprinkling of ladiesrural ladies, most of them. There was none of tlint superb nonsense curried on among ilieui winch is reported to he such a fashionable affair at Jerome l'ark?namely, belting of kid gloves. The Jersey girls are sensible. There is just about as much fuu in i wo ladles belling Kid gloves on a horse race as in two gents betting sleeve bullous on a oaby show. As lias been already said, u?? better day ever came out of ilie le avens lor enjoying a trial of trolled bonwflMll, and It appeared provoking that a single seat on the mam or any of the side stands should have been vacant. I in-1*000 W0T0 brief and Uvoljr, Ud, indeed, taking the programme as it was artcd, the weather us it remained through the day anu the spirit ol good humor manifest among ail present, there have been few occasions on the I'aterson Held more generally enjoyed. In the Hide enclosures, admission to which Is at a tariff within the reach of all, there were several hundred apOCtttonL among whom the contagion of betting?an epidemic, which spreads at lightning speed on the breezy air of a race course?was more of a sportive than of a serious, business like character, as under the main staud. Hut there was an infinity of fuu without any formidable exchanges of currency. A little alter one o'clock the juvenile Jockeys were weighed lu the balance and found all right. Those of a larger growth were n'so measured in avoirdupois and sent on tlielr way rejoicing. The place where this uperatloii was performed is Immediately under the second stor> of the judge'* Mtund and consisti) of nothing more pretention* than a few hook* for hanging eoiiia and cup* npon and a Miunll simple welgiung machine that accommodate* rider* of both races.

Underwood, who by thin time wu* I immersed head and can* in the one thousand and one matters tIntl. demanded the attention of a manager of a race course, made a rush acroa* the truck e?cl*liiimg, "Where'* that bugle fellow" Where U he?" "Uere he li, Doctor; here he U alarum." answered an Irish ostler, pointing out the muu who held the trumpet In martial attitude at In* lips. "Tell him to tilow away like UIuzch," continued the IWH tor. and forthwith a lusty blast. of brazen music ech'Hvi to the lulls, i he steeds weiv brought loiih, the j<? key* tightened their braces and the ?xcttemi nt of ihe da iicgaii.

The running, however, was very fair, particularly thai of the two year olds and the mile heal race. The hurdle ruce wax rather a tame affair, It being evident from ibe first that Lobelia had it all her own way. Ilcr opponent* did not seetn to contest the race with her, but rather bet ween themselves for the second money.
