UMEST CIRCULATION IN CITY AND COUNTRY.
WEDNESDAY, MAY 13. 1868.
OUR FLORIDA TRADE.
The proceedings of a meeting of a number
of our well-known merchants, which was held
yesterday at the rooms of the Merchants’ Ex
change, and which we publish in another col
umn, will be read w ith interest by not only our
citizens, but those of our sister cities of Bruns
wick, Jacksonville, Fernandina, and others
along the route between here and the head
waters of the St. John’s river. It
will be seen that a company has been formed
lor the purchase of the steamer St. Mary’s,
once so popular in the Southern trade. The
steamer is now being overhauled, and when
put in complete order will cost $00,000. Her
builders, who are now repairing her, state that
a new steamer of her class could not be built
for less than §100,000. Over two-thirds of the
amount necessary to complete the purchase of
the steamer and make the enterprise a success,
has been subscribed, and we hope that the ad
ditional sum necessary to place her on the line
will soon be forthcoming. Let Savannah en
terprise and capital, which in days gone by,
first gave to Florida steam communication with
the business centres of the country, not be
backward in contributing to the re-establish-
ment of that supremacy which our city once
enjoyed in this trade.
We understand that Captain Nick King, the
Nestor of Florida steamboat captains, will
command the St. Mary’s.
TORN ADO IN THE WEST.
A violent tornado has been sweeping through
the West, causing great destruction of property
and, in some instances, of life.
In Chicago, on Tuesday afternoon, the sky
was suddenly darkened to such an extent that
it was found necessary to light the gas all over
the city.
The peculiarity of the appearance was that
the cloud which so rapidly darkened the sky
seemed to come from no point of the compass
in particular, but appeared suddenly to envelope
the entire face of nature. It disappeared in the
same manner—none being able to tell whither
it went any more than whence it came. It was
almost as sudden as the extinguishment of a gas
light within a room; and the accompanying
sensation of cold and dampness which perva
ded the atmosphere was like the air from the
tomb.
At Shanghai, Illinois, the tornado, which
occurred on Sunday evening, took the tripie
lbrin of a wind, hail and rain storm, and de
stroyed nearly everything in its track. Fif
teen dwellings, a school-house and two
churches were utterly demolished.
The scene in one of the churches was
fearful. The pastor had nearly ended his
sermon when the hurricane began, and in
an instant the windows were shattered and
every light in the church extinguished. Two-
persons only succeeded in getting out, and
they were instantly killed. The building
reeled for a moment, and then with a crash
the roof and timbers came down upon the
penned-up congregation. A number were
fatally, and nearly all seriously injured.
The eame tornado swept over Muscatine,
Iowa, on Monday, tearing down fences,
barns, dwellings and other buildings, kill
ing a number of cattle and other live stock,
and severely injuring several persons by
burying them in the ruins. No human lile
was lost, however, in this or the neighbor
ing townships.
Peoria, Illinois, was visited by this whirl
wind on Sunday, and caused similar havoc to
that reported elsewhere, besides killiug one
lad and severely wounding another by a
lightning stroke. The lightning also struck
a locomotive at this place, and caused its in
sulators to burst, with a blinding blaze of
light and an explosion like that of a small
cannon.
The tornado also passed over Blooming
ton, doing less damage, but still causing
some destruction to property and injuring
several persons, though not seriously, by
lightning. There has not been such a wide
spread and destructive hurricane in that sec
tion of country since the terrible tornado of
1844.
The same fearful tornado extended through
a portion of Tennessee. We copy the fol
lowing from the Nashville Republican of the
10th inst :
We learn from Hon. Robert Medlin, Repre-
seneative from Madison county, who arrived
here yesterday morning from West Tennes
see, that in his portion ot the State the rava
ges of the recent tornado were almost as
great as in Williamson county. As near as
he could ascertain, the storm commenced
about three o'clock Wednesday afternoon at
Hatchee River, twenty five miles ea9t of the
Mississippi. The first property destroyed
was that of Dick Green, in Lauderdale
county. The roof of bis dwelling was lifted
up and blown away, bis outhouses and sta
bles laid in ruins, and all his stock killed.
The storm passed thence in an easterly di
rect nn to the houses of Mrs. Goss and
Thompson Goss, annihilating all the build
ings on those places. The top story of Wm.
Cbappel’s residence, said to be one of the
finest in the county, wa9 carried some dis
tance, rendering the greater part of the
building valueless. Mr. Chappel estimates
bis loss at $10,000.
Mrs. Holloway’s fine residence in Hay
wood county was thrown over and laid upon
its side. A negro was here crushed beneath
the ruins of an outhouse.
The hurricane crossed from Lauderdale
iuto Haywood county, still keepiog an east
erly course. In the latter county the houses
ol Parson Thomas and Ptlom were badly
damaged. In Madison county the house of
Mr. Williams, near Bell’s Depot, was com
pletely swept from its foundation and scat
tered lor miles. Fortunately the family were
absent on a visit. Huge trees were carried
some distance and lodged on B. F. Casey’s
outhouses. He was compelled to hew out
an entrance to his stable. Both ends of bis
house were blown out, and had it not been
lor two substantial chimneys the buildiog
must have been laid in rains. The roofs of
Robert Boone’s outhouses were swept off
aud some of the main buildings destroyed.
He was himself lifted fire feet from the earth
and saved himself Irom an serial flight b y
hanging on to a door sill.
Matt. Boykin’s house was made a total
wreck. The tops of the outhouses were
blown from over the heads ot the servants,
crushing a negro man to death. All the
buildings of Horace Higgins were blown
down. A wagon which stood in his yard
was torn to pieces, and portions of it were
found in the tops of distant trees. ^ John
Buchanan’s buildings were tumbled into
ruin.
The storm crossed the Mobile and Ohio
Railroad about five miles from Humboldt,
and strewed trees and huge limbs along tbe
track, which caused a passenger train of four
cars and an engine to be badly smashed.—
Wednesday night the engine ran into some
trees at the end of a trestle work ten feet
high, and got terribly nsed up. It was equal
to a first-class collision. Each car rusned
violently upon the other, aud two or three
were turned across the trestle-work. For a
wonder, no one was seriously injured.
The distance from the initial point of the
tornado to where it crossed the Mobile and
-Ohio Railroad, where Mr. Medlin ceased to hear
of it, wa9 not less than fifty miles. The width
of its path was not more than half a mile at any
one place. The damage above mentioned was
not, Mr. Medlin thinks, half that was done,
Many persons had limbs broken and were other
wise injured, but he did not gather any partic
ulars.
He also states that fallen timber covers some
of tbe farms to such an extent that it will be'
impossible for many persons to make a crop.
The damage is generally estimated at not less
than five hundred thousand dollars.
IMPEACHMENT.
Yesterday the final vote was to have been
taken in the impeachment trial, but as will
be seeu by our Washington dispatch, the
decision has been postponed on account of
the illness of a Radical Senator, Mr. Howard,
who it appears is suffering from an attack of
delirium firemens, wc suppose) The un
willingness of the conspirators against the
President to go to a final vote on bis im
peachment would indicate conscious weak
ness on their part, but it is difficult in these
days of rottenness and corruption in high
as well as in low places to imagine what may
or may not have been the motive that actu
ated the Radicals iu postponing the final test,
It may have been from fear of their ability to
oonsummate their treasonable design—it may
have been to bold open for the proposed bribes
we read of in the New York pipers—or it
may be to afford the political blacklegs ol
Washington and the Northern cities to ar
range their bets. An immense amount of
money has been wagered on the result of the
impeachment trial, and it is more than pro
bable that the money involved upon the i9sne
will exert a greater influence on the decision
than either the evidence or law.
While there is much excitement in the
the North on the snbjeet of impeachment,
there is apparently little interest felt in the
matter at the South. Our people seem to
have made up their minds to expect convic
tion as the logical sequence of the great
Radical conspiracy against coustitntionul
government, and as they have seeu the
Union, the Constitution and the Supreme
Court, one after another destroyed by the
Radical spirit of the age, to see the Execu
tive deposed and his power usurped by the
same revolutionary and unscrupulous parly
The distruclion of the American form
of Federative Constitutional Government
is the object of the Jacobins of our day.
To complete this work the Presidential
office must be abrogated. Henceforth there
is to be no union of free and equal sovereign
States — henceforth there must be no
written Constitutions to trammel the will
of a factious majority — without a
Couslituticn or laws, there is no need for a
judicial tribunal to administer them—least of
all is there need for an Executive to protect
and enforce them ?
Then down with the President who dare9
to stand in the way of an usurping majority
of Congress, and let his office be disregarded
and contemned with tbe other forms and
powers of the republican government framed
by our rebel fathers.
SAVAGE WARFARE.
A dispatch from the English army in Abys
sinia to the London Times announces that
the invaders had burnt the city of Magdala,
including the palace of the late King
Theodorus. General Napier had in bis
hands the Queen, and the young King, Theo-
dorus’s successor; he bad recovered the cap
tives unharmed; had slain the monarch who
insulted his nation; in short, he had fully
accomplished the objects of his expedition,
and was ready to return home in triumph.
There was no object whatever to be gained
by further destruction.
It is at the moment of victory, when all
enemies are prostrate and resistance at an
end, that a man or a people will show the
generosity they are capable of. The abuse
of a fallen foe is characteristic of brntes, aud
of men who resemble brutes. The English
were always relentless in enmity, and blood
thirsty and cruel to combat. But it is sad to
see that these faults have been so little
modified by the boasted humanity ot the age.
The conduct of the English commauders and
soldiers in India, in Jamaica, ami now in
Abyssinia, iu abusing victory aud persecu
ting helpless enemies, remiuds us unpleas
antly of the early administration of the
British in Ireland, of the massacre of Glen
coe, and of the outrages committed on the
ashes of the dead by the Cavaliers.
The town of Magdala has been razed to
tbe rock on which it stood. A few hundreds
of people, already miserably poor, are made
poorer; a lew scores of helpless widows and
orphans, whose support has been taken from
them by war, are turned out iuto a wilder
ness without shelter, on the eve of the most
inclement season of the year; and thus a
petty vengeance is wreaked on a people
whose kiug was ignorant or careless of the
proprieties of diplomatic intercourse. - But
will such barbarity as this aid the cause of
Christianity and civilization in the east?
Will it increase the respect and confidence
of the natives towards England and Europe ?
Will it not rather convince them, more
firmly than ever, that civilized man is the
most dreadful of beasts of prey; and that
the only relations which can be maiutaiued
with him are such as either side may be able
to enforce, lor its own interests or passions,
by superior treachery and cruelty ?
The above pious and humane reflections
are from the editorial columns of the New
York Post, a Radical journal. The editor
need not have gone so far from home as
Abyssinia tor an illustration of the great
moral truth contained in the closing sentence
of his article. The policy of England to
wards the barbanau, Theodorus and his sub
jects, is merciful in the extreme, when com
pared with the treatment which the white
people of the South have received at the
hands of their once fellow-citizens and
brother Republicans of the North. Euglish
cruelty ceased with the war, and we have
yet to learn that the British Government
have dealt in bad faith with the vanquished,
or taken advantage of their helpless con
dition to rob and plunder them, deprive
them of their civil rights and place them at
the mercy of their former slaves, aud the
thieves and vagabonds of Christendom.

The enormous production of Briwl eotKm
goods since the comncNCotaent v or the year*
and the unusually heavy shipment! to the
Eastern markets have as yet hid very little
influence upon the English money
but, in some quarters, it is anticipated that
the great rise iu cotton will eventually nave
a damaging effect. On this point the Lon
don Shipping Gazette remarks: 4 ‘We should
consider it an evil were cotton to go much
higher in price. The trade of the United
Kingdom is now on a much sound
er footing than it has been during
the last twelve months. It requires
the fostering influence ot cheap money,
but a ri9e of 20 or 25 per cent in cot
ton woold draw from us several millions in
gold, check commercial enterprise as a
whole, and compel the Bank of Englandto
double its present rate for advances. The
stock of bullion held by that institution is
not more than is necessary to carry on our
vast trade which a serious reduction in it
would partly paralyze. The enormous
quantities of goods now on sale in the east
may lead to a fair balance of trade in our
favor, provided that cotton keeps about ita
present value; but we find that speculators
have got possession of the market, and that
they are giving more for cotton for future
arrival than it is really worth.”

Mr. Drake said if Senators could not see

The stock in our market is estimated at

iully kept pace with those of Liverpool, and
the exports at present are very light, both
hence and from the Southern ports, many of
the ships at Mobile and New Orleans, in delault
of cotton cargoes, having come North, while
others have been chartered to carry sugar
from Cuban ports to Europe. The price of
cotton has uow reached a point by many re
garded as critical, and hence more than the
usual degree of caution is displayed both by
the trade and speculators, and it is evident that
this line of policy will be adhered to through
out the year.

The Uolto* Trade.
[From the New York Shipping List]
Tbe course of tbe cotton market was prob
ably never watched with mire absorbing in
terest than it now is, and baa been doing tbe
last four mouths, because it has not only a
more direct bearing npon finance and com
merce than any other commodity, but be
cause tbe future of cottou growing in this
country largely depends upon a scale of
prices enffloiently high to meet to en
hanced cost of production under tbe changed
conditions of culture. At the beginning ol
tbe year tbe price of middling upland
was sixteen cents, from which point it baa
advanced, with slight reactions, to thirty-
three ceuta. The 4 demand has fully kept
pace with the increase of valne, and the
tendency appears to bo upward. The coarse
of the market daring the remainder of the
year will, of coarse, depend largely upon
the rnling of prices in the Eagliw market,
where two leading causes—increased con
sumption and a short supply—are operating
in favor of very full prices. As to whai
point of value these causes may cease to
operate, there seems to be a diversity of
opinion. The spirit of speculation, how
ever, which always grows out of a rising
market, as it also contributes to a rise, and
which is now materially stimulated by cbea]
money in England, may cany prices beyoex
the legitimate results of the influences al
luded to. This, at least, is the view taken
by English statisticians. That goods, instead
of treasure, are being shipped from England
to tbe East in payment of raw staple drawn
thence, is a notable fact in this connection,
and one which is calculated to strengthen
prices. The annexed statement shows the
quantities of cotton goods forwarded from
Great Britain to the Eastern markets doriog
