A young lad, some fourteen years of age, the sou of Mrs. Gallagher of Augusta, was shot and instantly killed by a negro boy on Friday last. Shooting supposed to be acci dental. Boy in jail. Mr. John 4vant was halted in Macon on Friday night by a couple of meu, one with a pistol and the other with a club, who de., manded bis money. Mr. A. had some §6OO, or §7OO in greenbacks on his person which he managed to drop behind him. Tbe thieves then relieved him of his loose change and left him to pick up his valuable roll and go borne in safety. The editor of the Macon Citizen has res ceived a gold ring by mail, and he wants to know where it come from. Robert Bass, tbe youth who was recently bayoneted by tbe negro soldiers in Macon, is said to be recovering. Mr. Thomas Dowell, an old citizen of Sav annah, and for many years employed in the State Bank, died suddenly on Thursday night —aged 70 years. ALABAMA. Searl is performing in Montgomery. The Mobile Tribune of Friday says: A rumor was current on the streets this morning, to tbe effect that a serious difficulty had occurred in Selma, between the Federal troops stationed there and tbe citizens, in which several soldiers are reported injured, and eleven citizens killed and wounded. The report, we learn, was brought down by one of tbe through boats to New Orlsans, which did not stop here, and weare therefore unable to learn any of the particulars. It is stated, however, that the difficulty originated in tho attempt of some soldiers to seize the mules belonging to a countryman who bad just com. into Selma. The citizens objected to this pro ceeding, and thus the difficulty was brought on. We have no doubt tbe repost is greatly i exaggerated, and we therefore refrain from making further remarks until the particulars are received. We give it to our readers only as a rumor, and do not vouch for its correct ness. Since witting the above we learn from a gentleman who was in Selma at tbe time of the difficulty that tile report, as we expected, is greatly exaggerated. Tbe truth of tbe matter, so far as our informant was able to learn, is as follows: A one-legged soldier, Conlederate, came into Selma with three mules, and was taking them ton livery stable, wben ho was stopped by some Federal soldiers who endeavored to take them away from him. Some citizens in the vicinity interfered, and tried to prevail on tbe soldiers to let the man alone. .This they refused to do, and a diffi culty ensued, the soldiers drawing their pis tols and boyonets, and the citizens seizing whatever weapon they could lay their hands on. One Federal soldier was killed and two negro soldiers badly wounded. Several citi zens were severely cut and otherwise injured. The greatest excitement prevailed, and the Post Commandant had called out all the troops in town to quell the disturbance. Con siderable shooting was still going on when our informant left. The soldiers, it is said, bad no authority to take the mutes from the countryman, and should have desisted when requested by the citizens. The Eight hour system has been adopted by some of the foundrymen in Mobile. Tbe Tribune of Friday says, orders have been received by Lieut. Col. Yarrington, of of the 86th, and Col. Robinson, commanding the 97tb regiments U. S. colored Infantry, that their commands are to be mustered out of the service. Both these regiments are stationed iu Mobile. MISSISSIPPI. An unfortunate and abandoned female by the name of Tempe Carrol, committed suicide at Meridian,’last Monday, by shooting herself with a pistol. One J. F. Smith, her seducer, was arraign ed before the Mayor at Meridian, a few days previous, on a charge of larceny, but was acs quitted on tho same day this poor woman committed self-destruction. NORTH CAROLINA. The Washington papers state that Hon. W. N Edwards of North Carolina, has been par doned by the President; Mr. Edwards was President of the Convention of 1861, which took the State out of the Union. Tbe Smithville people have recently cap tured a whale in tbe mouth ofCape Fear, be-, low Wilmington, measuring fiftyssix feet in length, seventeen feet deep, and eight feet in thickness. A good sized fish, that. English Politics. In the House of Lords, on tho 16th March, Earl Grey, in a long speech upon Irish griev ances, moved that the House, on the 20tb should go into committee upon bis resolu tion to consider the state of Ireland. Debate ensued Earl Russell deprecated the attempt to carry out the violent remedies proposed by Earl Grey as likely to create an unprece dented agitation in the country. He prefer red gradual, well considered reforms. Earl Grey's motion was negatived without a di vision. In the House of Commons Mr? Lriyard said assurances had been received from Spain, Chili and Peru, that the vessels now building in Englnud should not leave until the pending difficulties were settl'd. Tire chances of the reform bill continue tbe subject of discussion. Tho conservative journals demand its rejection, others call for amendments. The Daily Telegraph declares that it is growing quite clear that the bill become a law. Tbe real crisis of the meas ure was its first appearance, which it passed through safely. The Herald says there was a very large gathering of Eirl Derby’s supporters at the residence of the Marquis of Salisbury. In the absence of Lord Derby, on account of the gout, Disraeli addressed the meeting, and it was agreed, without a dissenting voice, the ministerial Reform bill would be strenuously opposed at every stage Tbe amendment to the second reading of tho bill will take the shape of a resolution that.no Reform bill is satisfactory which does not offer a complete settlement of tho ques tion. Tbe Observer announces that P. 0. Baring will succeed Lord Paget, ns Secretary of the Admiralty. Mr. Fenwick, one of the Lords of the Admiralty has resigned. SELEC’TE l> T ELE«RAMS. New York, Match 31. -The Herald’s Wash ington special says : A proposition has been made by agents of Maximillian to prominent politicians here, to give them a contiact to collect revenue in Mexico-, for a term of five years, np o n condition that, they would pr-vent the Government from doing anything in be half of Juarez and the republic during that period. The per centage which they offer to give on the amount ’collected, furnishes a wine margin for a lobby fund to use upon Con gress to prevent action. Washington, Starch 31. A special to tbs <ribiiue-ays that orders have been received to muster out, by tbe Ist of May, every colored soldier in the service. General Hancock’s Board, now engaged in the examination of modeia for breech-loading fire-arms, is still in session, and will continue to receive new improvements tor several „eek». In view of the possibility of tbe occurrence of difficulties between British and American fisherman off the Newfoundland coast, in con sequence of the termination of the reciprocity treaty, the monitor Maintomah has been dis patched to tbe fishing banks to protect tbe in terests of American citizens. Herald’s Washington special says : A large number of Congressmen b ive.t ken advantage of tbe short reccss, and have gone North, in tending to be in-re again on Monday. There is, consequently, a lull in speculation as to tbe probable action of Congress upon the Civil Rights bill. New York, March 31.—The body of Senator Foote arrived in town.last night in charge of several United States Senators At an early hour this morning it was sent to Rutland, Ver mont. The New York Advertiser stales that Sena tor Wright is still confined to his bouse. It is doubtful if he ever resumes bis seat in the United States Senate. An English paper say, Sir Morton Peto is unable to attend to his Parliamentary duties, or to any business in London, by an act of ill ness of some severity, which detains him in the country. New York, March 31.—The Tribune this morning publishes tbe further dispatches from Mr. Seward to Mr. Adams. In tbe first the Secretary of State refers to the anticipa tion on tbe part of European Governments of retaliatory measures. He again reviews the grievances of the United States against Great Britain, as well calculated to produce an expectation of retaliatory measures, but deprecates any intention on tbe part of tho United States to go to we.r on account of these grivances. More important is another dispatch of March Ist, communicating to Mr. Adams a copy of a dispatch in cipher, from a Confede rate emissary in Canada to Jeff Davis. It gives an account of the endeavor of the Con federate agents in London and Paris to find out on what terms assistance or negotiations could be obtained. It seems that their agents were instructed to intimate that an armistice might be concluded between tbe two belliger ent parties in North America, for the purpose of undertaking conjointly a foreign war—for instance, for the expulsion of the French from Mexico. The hint was treated in England in the usual unsatisfactory, non-committal manner, but in France met with the declaration that no such alliance could be permitted, that the Emperor would punish any attempt to en force the Monroo doctrine, and that if it could be made to seem that the Federal Gov ernment was pursuing such a course, France would promptly recognize the Southern in dependence. New York, March 31.—1 n the case of the recent distillery frauds in the Internal Reve nue Department in this city, some very heavy assessments —one or two as high as §l5O 000 —have been made, but defaulting parties pro fess - an inability to meet the demands of the Government. The Commission is still at the Astor House, engaged in matters concerning the defalcations. Arrangements for a grand mass meeting to advocate the eight hour movement were com pleted last night. Philadelphia, March 31.—Hon. M. S. Scarille, President of the New Jersey State Senate, has written a letter to the Bulletin of this city, in which be says: “I requested that the caucus should nomi nate the man before I agreed to go into joint meeting. My motives have been doubted, but I stand right within doors of my own conscience, and who dare say, then, that I will not go into joint meeting for Ten Eyck or Gregory. ‘'Has any opportunity been offered me? I say I will, if the caucus will unite on any ot those already named, or on A. R. Hay, of Camden, or Judge G. S. Woodhull, of tbe Superior Court, ge into a joint meeting at 10 o’clock a; m., or any other hour on the day named. “I want to send a true man and statesman to Washington, and I am ready to make my words good by instant action. Let my ene mies answer that. Let a candid world judge between me and them. The tyranny which’ drove me from one party, is as odious to me in any other, when it demands that I submit to insolence and injustice combined.” Madison, Wis., March 31.—The Wisconsin Assembly to-day, after a protracted struggle, by a vote of every Union man but one, in structed their Senators to vote for the Civil Rights Bill over the Pressdent’s veto. The Senate had adjourned before the resolution reached it, or it would have been passe 1 with equal unanimity. The resolution submitting to the people the question of calling a Con vention to amend the Constitution, passed both Houses. San Francisco, March 31.—Ex-Gov. Jno. McDougal died yesterday of apoplexy. Resolutions endorsing Congress passed the Senate to-day by a vote of 36 to 21. From the Evansville [lnd.] Courier, 29th. TERRIBLE TORNADO IN JOHNSON CO., ILLINOIS. GREAT LOSS OF LIFE. Houses, Trees aud Wagons a Mile liigli lu the Heavens. Whole Families aud Farms Des troyed. Many remarkable and most strange effects of the grim Storm King in Illinois, have from time to time been recorded. Accounts have been given of the tearing up of the very turf on the prairies of that State ; but the facts we are about to record have no parallel in tbe history of destruction by tbe elements that we are aware of. We were yesterday visited by Mr. William Brill, an old and respected farmer of Johnson County, Illinois, and one of the most exten sive in that county, who furnished us with a succinct and detailed description of a torna do that passed over that neighborhood on the 20tb, which caused a terrible loss ot life, and the total destruction of every thing in the line of its march, entirely uprooting whole farms, carrying awity houses, trees, wagons and eve ry thing above the ground, and bringing mis ery and mourning into the happy homes of many. Mr. Brill’s farmshouse rests upjn an emi nence sufficiently high to give him a view of the section through which the destruction passed, and on the dny of the 20tb, be and bis family had a perfect view of the sublime scene which tho angry elements were enacting in a valley only liall'a mile south of his house. He describes the appearance of tbe storm as the most terrific ever witnessed, or that the mind can conceive. A dense blackness enveloped tho valley below, while it was Unite light on the bills around, and this add ed to the distinctness of the whole Tho most terrific roar, rumbling and moaning filled the air, and the smell of sulphur was very strong. The unearthly noise seemed to drown the voice of speakers close to each otb r. As it advanced, apparently with the mode orato speed of a locomotive, Mr. Brill observ ed high in the air the most extraordinary spectacle of trees, crushed houses, wood, rails, nnd objects that seemed to him to be horses and cattle, borne on by the storm in ■dense volumes of dirt nnd dust, all in tho most inextricnble confusion. The very heav ens were filled with tbe contents of farms! Every object seemed torn from the earth and folded upwarul Splintered timbers were torn up and heaved upward! Houses were taken up bodily and dashed overhead, and perfect desolation spread over the valley. Tbe portion of tho valley where this torna do passed was in the neighbordood of Tobac co Postoffice, and within a few miles, if we understand him rightly, of Golconda. Tbe tornado moved from west east, and appeared to keep in a chosen path. ’.The country is very broken, but those living in the small valleys seemed to suffer most. As ihe tornado advanced, the indicatidns of its course were very deceptive, appearing to point in all directions. This effect proba bly came from the revolution going on in the volumes of dust and sulphuric smoke that enveloped everything in tbe valley, and which, at times, seemed to roll and spread in all di rections. The whole country was inundated, and the soil in many places washed down to tbe sub stratum of clay, as though tbe clouds had burst aud flooded the earth with water at once. The following is the list of lives lost and total destruction as far as named: Joseph Harper was mortally injured, three of his daughters were killed outright, and five others of his family of nine mortally wounded. His home and evety object of his place was entirely carried away, and nothing has since been found ol anything. A wagon load of flour and meal in sucks was taken up by the tornado, and no trace of it afterwards found. Thirteen thousand dollars in money was also blown away with the house. M. B. Bayne’s house was also taken up and blown to atoms. Hij stock of boots, shoes and dry goods were carried for miles and scattered over tbe country. Every thing totally lost. Esquire Worley had nine, in fumily; one in jured. House and every thing on the place swept away. John Jones lost a child. Every thing to tally lost. Jonathan Water’s farm was literally torn up and carried off. t’here is not an object left Louis McGowan’s farm was entirely de stroyed, and every thing on it sweptoff. Orchards were pulled up by the roots and carried five miles. Every one wbo escaped destruction in the Hue of the tornado, as well as those who I were killed, were blackened as though by soot. Mr. Brill was one of the fortunate few wht> lived oft’ from the route of the tornado, and thus escaped with a slight loss. He tells us that the scene, after the tornado passed over, was one of the most heart-rend ing it had ever been his misfortune to wit ness. Every farmer wbo lived in the path of the angry elements is homeless and totally broken up. Destruction is to be seen every where. He is of opinion that the hurricane at Natchez many years ago was no worse in its effects. The three daughters of Mr. Joseph Har per, afterwards found dead, were locked in each other’s ayms. Cows, hogs and farming implements, in some cases, were found at a great distance. Os course, nearly all live stock in the line of the storm was destroyed. This tor.iado, in less force, visited many parts of ths country, being what is known as tbe "equinoctial storm but its violence in Johnson county is without a parallel. Were such a tornado to pass over a city built like Evansville, there would be cause ot morning indeed. Judge Lynch ox tub Bench in Colora do.—The Denver News chronicles the ap pearance of a "Vigilance Committee” in that section, which sets aside the law, and is ad ministering justice somewhat sharply. One Smiley bad been arrested for highway robbe ry, and managed to escape from jail. The Sheriff of tbe county captured him again soon after, when eight men suddenly came upon that officer, demanded his prisoner, and then disappeared. Tbe body of Smiley was found subsequently, swinging from a tree, a piece of paper attached to it, on which was written: "This mlin is a thief. Let thieves and those that harbor or countenance them be ware. Vigilance Committe.” Ths Quakers of North Carolina Going West.—Tbe Columbus (Ohio) Journal says : A party of seventy or eighty North Carolini ans passed through tbe city yesterday on their way to Missouri, where they propose to find homes. They were principally mechanics, and were in charge of a philanthropic Qua ker, who represents that quite a number of such transfers of population are to be made soon. Monetary Crisis at Richmond.—A cor respondent of the Petersburg (Va„) Express says that “ whisperings of a financial crash in Richmond greet the ear. These hard times have been foretold. High rents, extraordina ry living, big shows, etc., have done it all.— Richmond is full of goods of all kinds. Some thing must be done, or a crash is inevitable.” ATLANTA ADVERTISEMENTS? R. J.
