This suspicion took so stioug a hold upon the people that it was resolved to exhume the body, and the body wau disinterred Saturday last, after having laid three days in the grave. The lid waa wrenched off, when a horrible eight greeted tbe eyes of tbe reeurroctioniats. Evidently the supposed corpse had revived, and the wretohed man had fought desperately for hiB life. Im prints of hia finger nails were visible on tbe lining of tba coffin, which, in some places, was torn into abreds. The coffin itself was strained and wrenched apart at toe jointings in the deata agonies of the miserable man who wae buried alive. He had turned completely over, and was foand lying upon bis breast, hiB distorted countenance ‘indicating the frightful sufferings be had undergone. Ibe Herrera of tbe Wstterbsr*- Cyelsne.

On Sunday morning they began to arrive, and all daring the day could be seen ia large numbers jumping above toe water. The nets were soon Btretched, and up to yes terday afternoon full twenty-five had been captured. Some are very large, weighing from one hundred and fifty to two hundred and fitty pounds. The nets need are what is known as the gill net, rad are suspended perpendicularly in the water. It is with some difficulty they are -ecured, as they are very powerful. Several rook fish were also caught. Ax East Let Down.—Lord Chelms ford, toe commander of the British force* in South Africa, has not earned many laurels in the campaign with the Zalus.

Congressional Sketches, * Luther,” an intelligent Washington correspondent of tbe Nabhville American tons speaks of the South in tbe present Florida makes no change in her dele gation.

Alabama makes the most changes, returning only three out of eight, but Tennessee sends back e x out of ten, Texas four out cf six, Vir ginia six out of nine and We3t Virginia her entire delegation. Massachusetts and Wisconsin return respectively nine out of eleven and seven out of eight, and make the fewest changes of any of tue Northern Sta'es. t | The “baby” of the House is Mr. Bich ard L. Taylor, of Tennessee, who, iti; ; said, started out with only five dollars and a fiddle to capture tbe district, which bad a Republican majority of nearly 1.200. His intimates declare that he fidoled hia way into Congress, bnt be must have bean a very able yonng man to do it. The next youngest man ia Mr. Smory Speer, a Democratic Greenback* r from Georgia. He » described as one of tbe moat brilliant speakers of tho South, and worthy to represent the famous mountain district, which has sent to Con gress each men as Howell Cobb, Jamas Hillyer and Bea Hill. Tne dandy ot the House is Harry Bingham, of Philadel phia. His trousers are spotless and his cravats are mono menta of skill. He has seen a deal of public life, has been Post master of Philadelphia, and has as grea* weakness for tbe votes of the post-office boys, as bis predecessor, the mercurial Chapman Freeman. The most conceited member of the Honae must he the Hor. M. P. O’Connor, of South Caroline, for be asserts positively that he has nevrr made an error in hia political judgment yet. He has tbe reputation of being a sound lawyer and a brilliant orator. The most famous of the new members is undoubtedly Gen.

Wx bad tha pleasure yesterday of wit nessing the operation of a combination of telephones, ail centreing in a single office, and aiding the business of one of onr most enterprising commission merchants and produce brokers, Captain W. W. Carnes. The Captain has placed instrnments in no less than thirteen of our leading busi ness houses and tbe offieee of the Central and Maoon and Brunswick railroads. These are all oonneoted by separate wires with bis own oonnting room, so attsohed to a “switoh board,” whioh ia duly in dexed with tbe number of each firm be longing to the combination, that a signal is given when any member of it wishes to establish communication. Capt. Carnes is constantly in receipt cf telegrams from abroad, giving every change rad phase in the markets of onr principal cities, so that at any moment one or a half dozen merchants, without the trouble ud d9lay of a persona! visit, oan not only receive the latest commer cial intelligence, bnt by the use of toe telephone, converse with the operator, and learn every particular in the prem iser. We opened commuaicition in per son with several parties, and carried on an amusing and desultory conversation with them. This arrangement will greatly expedite the business operations of onr merchant guild, and muet make Capt. Carnes’ of fice one of theohief thoroughfares of the city. A Permanent Ministry. A movement has been inaugurated by the Methodist laymen of Brooklyn look ing to the repeal of the rule limiting the pastorate of those who occupy the pulpits of the Methodist Chnrch. A convention will be held, and toe matter will probably be presented in tbe form of a petition to the General Conference, which assembles next year. There is much to be said on both aide* of thia question. Sometimes a live and active minuter is removed in the very nenith of his usefulness, and just when he has become endeated to hia charge. But, per contra, many a slow-coach, and one whose work ia utterly without re Bults, is made to pass on and give plaoe to a more acceptable and efficient pastor. In our judgment the advantages and disadvantages are pretty evenly balanced, the poor pastors being tha chief suffer ers from tbe constant breaking up of their homes and the necessity ever re curring of making new friends end be ginning life, as it were, afresh. But we have no desire whatever to dictate to onr Methodist brethren. They are doing a noble work. all of the churches, seven in number, id sixty out of ninety cf the dwelling houses, with all of their outbuildinge, were wrecked and utterly destroyed. We quote as follows from the New• and Courier: The approach of toe cyclone was ra sudden os it* effect* were disastrous. Wednesday waa a lowering, cloudy, sul try day, with hardly a breath ot wind to stir the green leaves of the many trees about tbe sandy streets of the town, or sway toe rose bushes which bloomed in almost every yard. At 4 o’clock in the afternoon almost all the inhabitants had finished dinner, and most of them were about their houses. The profaned quiet and tranquillity of a summer day m a Southern cosnxry town pervaded every thing. Only! the crowing of a cook, the sleepy chirruping * of a bird or some occasional village - noise disturbed the silence. A dark cloud began moving up from a direction somewhat west of south, and very soon afterwards came a gust of witid, and a terrible sound uni versally described as resembling the rushing of many trains of steam cars. Those who looked towards the cloud saw tbe tail green tree tope 1 in the woods toss ing about like' troubled waves, rad the earth trembled, Its vibrations being dis tinctly felt, and the houses, which were almost without exoeptkm of wood, seemed to shudder, as It endued with.life and sense. Haaty movements were made to ahntdoors and windowaagainat toe storm, and families ka ff by inBtinct huddled tp. gether. Then some houses were felt to twist and shake. Persons in others were instantly enveloped in darkness, and massee of debris. In abont one minute the raih poured down in torrents, and there tfaa hi wind, feat a light breeze. Those fchota febtises stood , werS horribly astonished on going to their doors, to eee a vacancy where a minute b«£ore build ings hid been, and the fallen trees piled upoiroue another in : wild confusion. The roar of-the Wind was such tost the tre mendous crash which must have been, was heard by no one. One gentleman who was looking from his piazza at the time, saw three large trees fall in hia front yard,-but heard no moxd sound than if they had been feather#. He eaya they were not dsshed to the gronnd, but want over slowly, as if they had been an dermined. As the people of Walterboro’ rushed from their houses into the rain a terrible and indescribable eight met their eyes The town runB east and west; the court house being at the wester? end; From abbnt a block east of it, where there had been bright gardens, masses of green, dwellings and ohnrchea obscuring the view, a few dismantled honsea and treeB stood barely above the wreck, leaving an almost perfectly clear space. I know of no more expressive language to de scribe toe fate of these things than that of Major Bnrbridge in hia letter—"they are gone.” It only required a few min utes for the few men in the town, many being in Charleston, to begin the work of saving life, and white and colored work ed rapidly and faithfully together, Tha list of casualties I telegiaphed, and it appears an absolute miracle that it waa not ji tar larger one, when the wreck ia locked upon. Tho frail osbins of toe colored people, and many of the out-honaes are not only blown down, bnt blown away, and their fragments ecat tered for hundreds of yards. It is an ac tnal fact that the Bites where some cf them stood can cnly be discovered with difficulty, fiomu of the larger houses seem to*have been beaten down after being on the ground, tbe debris being flattened ont. OtheiB appear as if they bad simply fallen to pieces like struct ure* of cards, the aides falling some in acd some outside and the roof going clear Of them all, and smashing itself agaioet tho ground some distance away. As already stated, tbe scene was simply indesoribable. For half a mile on toe right of the town, as yon enter, there was a wilderness of prostrate trees, and pieces of planks, rafters, laths, and shapeless fragments of dressed wood ot all sixes were saattered thickly upon toe ground, the ends all pointing from southwest to northeast, exoept when in their fight through tha sir toey enoonntered obsta cles and rebounded, falling in all direc tions. Detached pieces of tencingwere everywhere, and among the other rem nants lay articles of household furniture Here and there amid tbe confused mass lay tho remains of houses in the disorder of the orasb. A'l the streets were filled with the wreok, and all lines weraob luerated. Lifelong residents of the town became oonfnsed and list their way, being abto to disoern no fa miliar landmarks, and conld form no idea aa to where tb-y were. The beautiful little hickory valley where Gov ernor Hampton spuke in .’77 ia torn np, the trees which adorned it lying piled to gether, and toe Presbyterian Cnnrob, whioh stood npon toe bill by it. being a heap of indistingnisbable rubbish. A portion of the weather boarding ot thia oourohhaa been found on a farm five miles awav. Columns might be taken up with anoh inatanoea of tbe fury of the wind. The air was filled during the pas sage of the storm with flying fragments ot all sor a. Groves of eorob oaks on the outskirts of the town have the b*rk en tirely beaten from them by tho showers of laths, shingles, staves, and other thirgs whioh encountered them as toey whirled along. It is piobable that what was taken for a olond aooompanying toe storm waa merely a mass ot leaves, sand and other objects taken up by the wind. The phenomenon seems to have been a genuine cyclone or hurricane. The rotary motion was distinotlv to be seen in its effects, tbe trees, for instance, falling in ezaotly opposite directions within a few feet of each other. It is probable that two revolutions of the terrible circle were made in the town, the centre being more to the northeast daring the second one. This will aocoant for the wild confusion in which everything was left. Zf there had been a direct wind all things blown down by it must have lain in the same direction. In fact the circle can almost be completely traced by the different direction ot articles left on the ground. Many ot these were atrewn so thickly and so evenly tost they looked as if they h*d been thrown up by a tide, and where there are obstacles this debris is maesed against them as it it bad floated oh a stream cf water and been left there. Many of the trees were not blown dowB, but broken off from fire to forty feet above the gronnd, and in anch instances some of them presented the appearance of having been wrung off, tbe twiat being apparent in tbe remain ing wood. A grova of wild orange trees a few miles north and cast of the town was stripped of its berries, whioh de scended in a shower tin miles beyond. A lady’s trank which was secured, looked and placed in the garret of a dwelling, was taken by the wied as the house fell, and carried half a mile into toe swamp, the cloihiog in it being costtered in every direction 8ome of it was found up a tree, away off in the wood*. Several baggies were blown forty or fifty ysrde, om or two of them being completely smashed. A foar-horse wagon was lifted from a yard and blown thirty feet away over a fence eight feet high. One remarkable occurrence was that of a bask et of books uelog taken from a be me, and deposited in a tree three-fourths of a mile distant, without looking soy of its con tents, whioh were found intact. A sheep was found lying in tbe rood with every particle of wool taken from it as cleanly as a rasor conld have done it. Many p-opl- were buried in tbe ruins, and it.ie marvkllous tha* they were not killed. One lady as she felt the house giving away gathered her ohildren in her ' arms and knelt by the bed with her infant nnpoc ber body. Tbe building fell upon them, and they were nearly buried in a- shower ot bricks and mortar, although all es- oaped with bat a few bruises aod scratches. The lofaut being nearly suf focated by tbe dust, its mother, with re markable coolness, blew into its month until its lungs resumed their wotk.

OsBST W. blYLES. The Co a (eat in tongrtn, Tbe regular Washington correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer writes that after a heated political debate of more than two weeks in tbe House and seven days in the SeBate, the political situation is no clearer to-day than it was when tbe contest opened. One thing, however, ia painfuil* apparent to the Republicans, and that is that the cry of revolution has fallen flit upon the people, who are not to be excited with tbe goblin of a new rebellion; and bo far as any of ths Re- publican leaders can assort to the conua- ty, it has cot had tbe eff ret of whipping the President into the Stalwart attitude besought and almcst demanded of him by his party. Two weeks ago no Bepnb- liean of ray prominence bad any douot that Hayea would veto the army bill Not a few cf them now have ray serious doubt that he will not sign it. . . Tha more the Bepnblican position Is debated and agitated, the more unten able bos it become. Argument* have given way to sophistry. Indeed, no ar gument has been advanced by the Re publicans, the sole baiden acd tenor of the speeches made from their stand point being merely the revival of sectional hears atd drawing a Stalwart line tor the President lo toe: If the apathy which is now noticeable on the part of the leaders of the party indicates any thing, it ia that some move must be mode to gain the ground lost should tbe Presi dent sign the Army Bill. There have been frequent conferences of late--not in the nature ot caucuses, but quiet gatherings cf the managers—to map out some plan to get out of tbo awkward di lemma tbe party finds itself in. At is believed now that Secretary Sher man’s recent financial exploit will be used to abandon the 8talwait position, and plant the Republican banner once more < n tbe fiuaacisl issues. The sbrewd-r politician* are beginning to see that about the only glory gained by maintain ing a tiiqlwsrt position accrues to Grant, and that' tbe only result of making a campaign on that qosU means hia nomi cation iv lead toe heals.
