This event will probably be followed by gieat destruction la the Missouri and Mississippi bottoms down to (he Gulf. Tha fact is, the pecple are entitled to violent ealber and should not look for much of any other kind. The people are violent, andadona. destructive. They are badly demoralized all over the country. Bed handed murder and violence stalk abroad unfettered, and though we don't know it, vet doubtless when mankind get wiser they will diaoover that a chain of close and intimate sympathy runs through all the great departments of God's creation, and even the destructive forces of nature, violent storms and tempests, are more or leas self - imposed by man, in giving loose to a riotous moral violence, without regard to reason, oonaeienoe and tbe wa of God. Peopto are Mttlicg on the fhjcictol law of storms, and by and by they will get behind that to the more recondite, but not leas certain sym pathies and correspondences between all tbe great departments of Nature which embrace tbe whole realm of law, and learn that they can't be violent, lawless and outrageous with out setting on foot an apparently similar out break all round. Therefore, our best advice ia bahave well. Competitive Exnmlnatlon for West Point* After a long, patient, careful and very close ly contested examination, Mr. Charles W.

Of the contestants, probably all would have parsed examination at West Point, bnt it was the bus!- ness cf tbe oommittee to select the young gen tleman possessing the highest qualification*, and we have no doubt they have done so, and have designated a cadet who will do honor to Georgia and the District.

Tbo ex amination in both requirements, were cf the most searching and rigid character—the com mittee feeling with yourself the importance of having at West Point, a representative who would sustain the credit of tbe appointment. Tbe^e examinations—the literary being con ducted in writieg—together with the cane**: of tbe retails, occupied the ormmittee the ber ter part of six days It ia due to tbe candidate* for ns to state, that tbry all acquitted them selves handsomely, and that the float con tear among seTeral of th»*m ws* bh irp »indclo-e. and that bad there been more than one oppoiLtm*-n< to be filled, the oommittee eunld have codG den-ly, and wonld have wiih pn ut aatiufueMop, made more than one nomination.

Itallwajis In Clilnis. Through a special Herald dispatch from Lon don (-ays that paper of tbe 5tb) wo learn that a private meeting has been cunvenod at Stafford House for the purpose of promoting railway enterprises ia China—that it is in contempla tion to famish a free gift rolling stock sufficient to equip ten miles of railway as an inducement, by a practical experiment, to the Chinese Em peror to sanction the construction of a network of railroads through his dominions, and that abundance of capital can be commanded for the work. Tbe committee on the subjeot are to call a public meeting under the auspices of the Lord Mayor of London. Tbe importance of this scheme will bo readily appreciated if considered in connection with the British railway project for connecting the Medi- terranean with the Persian Gulf by way of the Euphrates Hirer and with Baron Reuter's Per sian railway contracts, and with the British rail- ws/ kvs:. ill cf ilinio-tan. Taking all these grand schemes and systems together.they simply look, first, to tbe control and absorption of the trade of tbe whole of Asia south of the Russian Empire, and to a strong political foothold from Asiatic Turkey to India on the west, and from the Pacific Ooean to India on the east, against any grasping designs or supposed hostile de signs of Russia. But, whether by England or Russia, the building of extensive railway lines in Asia, east or west, will be for the general benefit of mankind, and so we wish success to all such enterprises. China has not a single railway, for the reason as stated in Abba Hue's narrative that they could not be built without desecrating graves. China is, as a matter of course, considering Us ape and teeming population, one great grave yard, and the leading idea of the religion of the Chinese is reTcrcBcejfor their dead ancestry. How the Esghsh will indure the Chiue-te to sanction the incxorsMe alignment cf a railway over a soil in great part occupied by the dead is a perplexing question. Guanos Parents.—The farmers, in their move ment against high freights, are entering more into detail and taking practical and economi cal measures in matters pertaining to the farm ing interest The Indianapolis Journal learns of granges in that State which have leagued to gether and made arrangements to obtain plows at twenty.five dollars, which heretofore cost them thirty-three dollars. Of course, whole- le quantities can be bought at wholesale prices, and the farmers can serve themselves very handsomely. Ia Virginia the price of Mc Cormick's reaper and mower, which has here* toforo been two hundred dollars, has been put down to coe hundred and fifty dollars, and his other machines in like proportion. This re duction has doubtless been brought about by the fame kfiaesoes. Tzrx melon trade at Savann&b continues vary lively. The steamers I/zzle Baker and City Point brought 11,000 last Saturday from Florida. 9,000 of which number were shipped to New York tbe same day.

A Railbdad Ixcidzxt.— A gentleman relates the following incident which occurred in tbe win ter of 1857 on the Central railroad. It shows »h*t "accommodating" gentlemen conductors were in tho-'e day-: "In the winter of 1857 1 was going on the morning regular through train from Maoon to Savannah, Ga., when suddenly the engineer whistled down brakes, and the cars wert* brought to u stand atill in the midst of a long piece of wood«. I noticed three pass^n • cers leaving the train for the wood*." Passen gers—"What's the trouble, conductor?'* Con ductor—"Those pafsengers want to get a drink of water at a spring np twenty roda or so. Go ing again soon." Tnx business men of Atlanta held a meeting on Monday, and resolved that the City Council be requested to amend the tax ordinance "so as to impose an ad valorem tax on the capital stock only, and not on merohandizo, solvent debts, cash on hand, etc. Tbe Constitntion, of yesterday, says: Tnx Ca.btxb*.tilli jlxd Van Wzbt Railroad. We learn that the Commercial Warehouse Com pany of New York, who held most of the bends of tho above railroad company indorsed by Gov ernor Bollock for the State, have purchased nearly all tbo stock of tbe road, having bought out the entire interest of Hon. Mark. A. Cooper and others. They have also advanced funds enungh to pay off the debts of the road, and will proceed without delay to convert that por tion of it which is constructed a narrow gunge, to a broad guage rosd its entire length from Cartersville to Van Wert. The whole manage ment has passed into practical bands, who will pat the enterprise upon a good basis. And we learn wiih pleasure that the great slate quarries in tha vicinity of Van Wort are being extensive ly opened and profitably worked. Tna same paper says It has put np a forfeit of $1,000 with Mr. James, the banker, to be given to the Library Association if its circu lation is not "abont double the oircul&tion of any other paper published in that section,” and "dares any one to give ns the opportunity to prove," by tbe books, that its "circulation Is vastly greater than any other." Now let the momentous question be settled forever. This strain npon tbe pnblio mind is trnly distressing, and should be relieved at once. Thb Griffla News is very indignant with “the y onn g sophomore orators who fresh from college, *eem* just now to have taken np the theme of teaching ladien bow to dress, and sot satisfied with exhibitirg their ignorance and insulting the ladies npon this subject, they manifest great uneasiness lest the ladies of tbe country become followers and advocates of the doctrines of Woodhnli, Olaflm *t Co. This is indeed an insult to any refined lady, for they are just as far from wishing tor any such privileges a* the orators themselves. It is a libel npon their parity of thought and pnrpose, to make snob an intimation. We I ks to see onr ladies dress been t if ally; in fact, we love them for it, ell the orators to the contrary, cot withstanding. Let ns suggest to tbe ladies that the beat way to silence orators who will discuss their app&rol, la to leave tne ball and refuse to listen to them Tan Monroe Advertiser bears complaint of dry weather from all parts of tho country, and farmers report young corn suffering greatly from wazt of th in. Oslt ono piece of real estate was sold at sheriffs sale in Monroe county last Tuesday— the plantation of A D Steele—200 acres— which was bid eff for §975.

The New York Financial and Commercial Chronicle shows from official sources, that the late Franco-German war added to tho routes or funded debt of France an aggregate of 8,246,- 149,633 francs, or 1.C49 millions of dollars. Of this sum nearly 1,000 millions of dollars were paid in cash to Germany, whose published state ments report the actual cost of the war to the Germans' at §278,000,000, so that the clear profit of Germany from tho war begun by Na- po! eon’s invasion of Jnly, 1870, was over 800 millions of dollars, without reckoning the value of tho annexed provinces of Alsace and Lor raine, whoso taxation contributed to the rev enue of France §80,000,000, a year, while their railways alcnqare valued at §65 000,000. In the ancient or medern records of war no op posing forces in a campaign of three months have ever won so much or lost so much as did the armies of France and Garmany three years ago. How the contest, with its astounding re sults, is likely to affect the financial and indus trial growth of Germany we do not now inquire. In France, as we have said, it has almost doubled the previously socumulsted funded debt, tbe new addition being 1,049 millions of dollara. Besides ibis there is a floating debt of uncertain magnitude. Part of it Is doe fo tbe Bank of France, and amounts to 1,300,000,000 franca. It is to be paid if possible out of the instalments of the last loan of Jaly 15, 1572, which fall due monthly and expire at the close of this year. From these facta it will be seen that the total amount of the French debt cannot be ascertain ed except approximately. The above table shows that since 1814 the Government loans have amounted to a capital of 17,629 millions of francs, on which the rente or annual interest is 737 million francs. Before 1314 the old rentes were 63 363,745 francs a year, so that the funded debt aggregates at present a capital c f is,720,360.101 franos, or nearly 4,000 millions of dollars, while its annual interest is 800,082,- 47S francs, or ICO millions of dollara a year, ex clusive cf all extra charges for the floating debt.

I,o«« by the Recent Heavy storm*, Cixcinnan, July 8.—The following accounts of damages to crops and lmildiogs and e®ti mated losses by tbe recent rains have boon re ceived here: In Ohio through Foret to county the wheat and corn bAve boon seriously dam aged ; many trees were uprooted and one barn demolished. Loss §3 000, outside of crt>ps In Washington ounnty crops were considerably beaten down nr d the extent of tho loan cannot be made, reports not being suffiaientiy full. In Be’mont county several acren of timber wore destroyed for a mile around. InBelmontnoarly all fences were blown down, admitting stock into tho grain fields. Wheat and corn were also flattened out. In Morrow county, in the vicinity of Covington, on Thursday and Friday, the storm leveled fences and many valuable orchards were ruined. In Franklin oonnty. tbe loss is estimated at from $50,000 to $100,000 Tho bottom lands were covered wiih water, destroy ing crops Part of the canal in the town of Winchester if under water, oompelliDg some of tbe firm* to atop buainess. In the southern portion of Licking oounty, crops of all kinds are badly damaged. The Newark, Somersett and Strasville road suffered severely—twenty.five miles cf track were washed out, and several bridges were destroyed. In Clinton connty the grain in shock and tbnt standing in the fields were alike prostrated, xnakiog it necessary to raise a groat part of it by hand. In the southern portion of Greene oonnty the wheat crops suffered—the estimated loss being from 15 to 20 per cent.—in other portions of the connty the loss is considerably lightor. The weather is still showery, and unless it dears np soon, tho wheat crop, which is dead ripe, will be greatly Injared. In Muskingum county. Zincsville, Washington, Perry, Wayne and Knox townships * offered. The los3 from dam age to tbo growing crops is not less than $100, 000. besides a heavy loss of timber. In tbe southern pari of Batler connty, rain did consid erable damage to crops. A largo lot of timber was also blown down. Clark connty damage is not so great. Union county wheat crop is badly damaged throughout, especially along tho creeks, where whole fields are destroyed. Pick away connty crops are destroyed and washed away. Eitimated loss $100,000. To this may be added broom corn, within tfcreo miles of Cir- cleville, §25,000. In Athens county at Nelson- ville, the Shocking river overflowed and inun dated tho lower part of the town. A large number were compelled to leave their houses and contents and fly for life, so suJden and un expected did tbe flood come. Crops fa bottom lands are a total lo«s. Tbe damage to crops is es timated at$100,000. Annmberof familiesliviog along the river in the vioinity of Athena were compelled to move to higher ground. The Marietta and Cincinnati railroad track wo3 cov ered with water too deep to allow the passage of trains. The loss of pnblio and private prop erty in Fairfield connty is estimated at over $500,000. Many low farms were swept of every thing bnt baildiags. Hooking canal oannot be repaired, having fifteen large breaks within a distance of twenty-five miles. Bremen canal was six feet under water on tho morning of the 4th instant. Four bridges of the Cincinnati and Muskingum, and Cincinnati and Hocking Valley railroad were wrecked. In Union county crops are damaged 10 to 15 per cent Ripley county wheat suffered badly. Decatnr county wheat will yield but one-fourth of a crop. In Shelby connty two-thirds of the wheat crop will be lost. The loss to crops in Dearborn county will be far np In the thousands. The same re port comes from Fayette county. Corn will yield only tbree-fourtba of a crop. Spanish Customs Bcgnlallons. Washington, July 8.—A dispatch received at the State Department from Hon. Daniel E. Sickles, United States Minister to Spain, en closes additional customs regulations promul gated by the Spanish Government* for tbo pen insula. Tbe decree is dated Jane 5th, and will be enforced against all vessels coming from At lantic ports of the United States after tha expi ration of throe months after dato of publication, and four months after that date for all vessels coming from the Pacific ports. Minister Sickles, in his dispatch, says it is observed that this decree, although containing provisions tending to embamra the legitimate commerce of the ports of the Peninsula, recog nizes and debates several principles contended for in my correspondence with this Government concerning relations in Caba. Only one mani fest is required instead of three. If tho mani fest agree with the bill cf lading the fine in curred for any infraction of regulation in de scribing a consignment is imposed on the con signees of goods and not on vessels. Spanish Consuls are prohibited from certifying to man ifests whioh are not properly made out. They are, besides, required to note all mistakes and amendments, and to report to tbe customs au thorities of the porta to which the vessel is bound all manifests they certify. flynopsls Weather Statement.

KIDXIGHT DISPATCHES. Hrle R«ltro*«l Xarnlon. New Yoax Jaly 8 —The following Is a con deneation of the report of the Erie Railroad e:ircinr* : The company hive continued steadily to increase for the past half year. They have largely exceeded those of any simitar pe riod since the completion of tbe road. Reforms began in the management of the oompany'g business have diminished the relative expenses in every department, an i these expenses will be still more largely diminished as reforms in progress are developed, and when the present plans for a doable track and narrow gauge on the whole line shall have been carried into ef fect, there is no reason why the coat of op eratiog the road, in comparison with its gross earnings, should not be as low as npon any of the other great trank lines. We are rapidly increasing onr facilities for business. We have put in this Reason already 20 miles of siding and laid 10 miles of second track, and have increased onr coal, postal and other oars. We are preparing to redace the heaviest grades npon the line, and when this is done, taken in connection with the cheapness of fuel and the facilities of which the Erie company possesses, vary decided advantages over any of its rivsls for business ; n this State, the com pany will be able to overcome the d sadvantage under which it bar Buffered in tbe past in parison with other lines originally possessing better oontrol of local traffic. Those advan tages, cow beginning to be realized, will in crease in the fntnre, and the day is cot far dis tant when onr proximity to a connection with tho anthracite and hitnminons coal mines of Pennsylvania and Ohio will fir more than counterbalance tbe advantages heretofore pos sessed by other linen. The funded debt of tbo road ha3 been in creased daring the year by the addition of $10,000,000 convertible bonds, of which $S,000,-[ 000 have already been sold at par in currenoy. Tbe remaining $2,000,000 will probably be pl&oed at same rate as soon as they will be needed for onr new construction and equipment now In progress. Assuming all these bonds to be negotiated, the fanded debt of the oompany will then b) aa follows: Reported July 1st, 1873 §30.040.140 Convertible bond* 10.000,000 Total.. «...§40.040,140 The capita! of tbe oompany is unchanged as reported July, 1872, viz: Common t-tock $78,- 000.000; preferred stock §3,536,910. Total §86,536 910. The floating debt of the comnany as reported Jaly 1st, 1872, was §646,366 820. The present fl rating debt is nearly $1,700,000, or abont equivalent to ono month’s currant receipts, sbowing a redaction since last July, of $i "50.000. Election of C flic era. The call for votes for the election of direc tors of the Erie Railroart ceased at 2 o'clock Forty-one million of shares were voted, and Bischoffheim wa? unanimously elected So apparent was its aucoefis that §20,090,000 of proxies belonging to the McHenry and Bisoli- cilheim interest were not cast.

Halifax, July 8.—It is hoped the City of Washington will get off if the calm continues. The passengers have been supplied with cooked food. The ship has a general cargo, part of which is very valuable. flfarlc Twain anti th© Shah of Persia— How Ha leoka, and How Mark Felt When Saluted by Him. • Mark Twain, who is now in London, was depntied on the part of the Herald to help bring the Shah to England, and furnishes a long ao- CDunt of how he performed that .daty? from which we take the following: He was a handsome, strong-featured man, with a rather Earopean fairness of complexion; had a mustache, wore spectaclee, seemed of a good height and graceful balld and carriage, and looked abont forty or a shade less. He was very simply dressed—brimlass stove pipe and close-bnttoned dark green military suit without ornament. No, not wholly without ornament, for he had a band two inohes wide worn over his shoulder and down across his breast, soarf fashion, whioh band was one solid glory of fine diamoods. A Persian official appeared in tbe Shah's rear acd enveloped him in an ample quilt—or cloak, if you please—which was lined with fur. The ontside of it was of a whitish color and elabo rately needle-worked in Persian patterns liko an India shawL The Shah stepped ont and the official procession formed abont him and inarched him down the carpet and on board the Vigilant to alow mnsic. Not a Flounder raised a cheer. All the small fry swarmed ont the tram now. THE CORRESPONDENTS EXCITED. The Shah walked back alongside h!s fine cabin, looking at the assemblage of silent, sol emn Flounders; the correspondent of the Lon don Telegraph was hurrying along the pier and took off his hat and bowed to thp "King of Kings,” and the King of Kings gave a polite military salute in retnrn. This was the com mencement of the exoitement. The success of the breathless Telegraph man made all tbe other Lon jon correspondents mad, every man of whom flourished his etovepipe recklessly and cheered lustily, some of the more enthusiastic varying tbe exercises by lowering their heads and elevating their coat tails. Seeing all this, and feeling that if I was to "impress the Shah” at all, now was my tim9, I ventured little cqueaky yell, quitedislinotfrom tbe other Bhonta, but just as hearty. His Bhahahip heard and saw and saluted me in a manner that was, I considered, an acknowledgement of say su perior importance. I d > not know that I ever felt so o6tentatious and absurd before. All the correspondents came aboard, and then the Per sian baggage came also, and was carried aoroes to tbe ship alongside of ours. When she oould hold no more, we took somewhere about a hun dred trunks and boxes on board our vessel. Two boxes fell into the water, sod several sail* ora jo coped in and saved one, but the other was lost. However, it probably contained nothing but a few hundred pounds of diamoods and things.
