At eleven minutes before nine o'clock a low, moaning sound was heard coming from the earth, and in an instant everything commenced to rock to and fro like boats on the bay, when the ground8well comes in after a storm. The earth seemed to be heaved or rolled in wares from northeast to southwest, or vice versa_ the motion continuing from twenty to thirty seconds, and the vibration of hanginer lamm> door bells, gas fixtures, mirrors, Stl L , from the effect of fhe shock, continuing from thirty seconds to a minute longer. People who stood around the wharves assert that imme mediately foliowing the shock, heavy swells rolled in from the bay and broke under the wharves with considerable force. This is probably ns heavy an earthquake shock aa ever experienced in San Francis;o since its settlement by the Americans. The walls of quite a number of buildings are reported con siderably cracked, and plastering in many places was broken,and in some instances, plate glass windows were shivered. At the south were shivered. At the south east corner of Dupont and Washington sts., a plate glass window in a store front was shivered, and a part of the glass fell out up on the sidewalk. Many persons, ladies more especially, were made sick even to vomiting by the motion, and the number of people who took to the street on the double-quick was something astonishing. At the Occiden tal Hotel, not a single individual tarried in the dining-hall beyond the shortest space of time required to carry them out of the build ing. In one of the upper chambers were two newly-arrived Fnglishmen, who had nev er before felt the exhilarating effects of a wholesome earthquake, and as the building swayed to and fro like a tall poplar in the breeze, one of them, rushing frantically to the door, called aloud for a ladder to enable him "to get out of this blarsted, bloody trap on to the oof." In the barber-shop connect ed with the hotel, a gentleman who was be ing shaved, rushed with telegraphic rapidity into the street, with the lather still covering his face; and another, who was taking a bath joined in the rush, aa far aa the outer doof| in the classic costume ussually effected by bathers, but then and there changed his mind and went back, determined not to act as fool ishly aa his fellow-citizens had do^e be/or® him. of Executive Deprtmknt, ? Frankfort, Kentucky, Dec. 14, 1864. \ Capt. Cahill. Recruiting Colored Troops: Yours of the 10th inst., informing me that you had been ordered to Kentucky to recruit "free colored men" for the Army of the United States, and asking my consent for so doing, is before me. You do not inform me by what authority you came to Kentucky to recruit "free colored men." I know of no act of Congress requiring such service, nor have I seen any order from the War D 'partm't di recting it. On the contrary, I am well assured that in deference to our peculiar position, and to avoid unnecessarily aggravating the troub les ol the loyal men of Kentucky, the author ities at Washington do not contemplate re cruiting "colored men" in Kentucky. W® are ready to fill our quota from the "free" white citizens of Kentucky. We will unhesi th2 re ^ u ^ tio,r fof men to nefend our Government. We cb m the \^ht to furnish from the citizens whose duty tips to make that defense, and who a, e ready Pnro M ! v nntk tUn ____• a to comply with the requirements of duty.— the duty of defense devolves upon those wb® enjoy the benefits of our goverirnwirt. From such we will fill the call upon us, e pre sume that white men who owe the duties of allegiance to the Government will b* accept ed for its defense. W e will furnish them. If therefore, you came to recruit, "ectored men" for Kentucky, we decline jour services. If you come to recruit for the benefit of an other State, we deny your right to d*< *0, and forbid it. No Mate has the right un ier any law or order to enter Kentucky to recruit either white or "colored" men within its lim its. But no State that is 110c willing 10 meet the measure of duty by contributing ?s quo ta from its own population, shaii be permitted >0 shelter from duty behind the bee negro population cf Kentucky. We shall meet the call upon us wunout en listing colored men, and your State must meet its cal! from its own white or • colored" men as may best suit the people, and „ot assume to recruit either white or black'in Kentucky Yours, etc., Thomas E. Bramlette, Governor ol Keutucky, A poor fellow sent to prison for imarryrfcg" two wives, excuses himself by saying tb^t> when he had one. she fought him; but whet),, he had two, they fought each other. **
