Terrific Storm at Last Island 1 All
the Houses Swept away! One Hundred and Thirty-
Seven Lives Lost.
"We are informed by a correspondent at
Berwick's Bay that John Davis, an oysterman,
reached lliat place in a small sail-hoat yester
day, and reported that all the houses on Last
Island were swept ofif hy the storm of Sunday
night.
Our correspondent also informs us that as
far as could he hurriedly ascertained one hun
dred and thirty-seven lives were supposed to
he lost.
The steamer Major Buhrcy was sent imme
diatcly to the relief of the suffering survivors
who were sticking to the hull of the steamboat
Star, which was driven upon the island by the
storm
It is said that the water came up with such
rapidity, under the effects of the wind, that it
rose five feet in two minutes, entirely submerg
ing thcwholcisland. The inhabitants, suppos
ing doubtless that the water would subside
sought shelter in their houses, hut it seems that
these were soon overturned and swept away
hy the combined force of the wind and waves
and left the unfortunate inmates helpessly
struggling amidst the debris.—iV. O. Delta
August 14.
From the N. O. Crestent.
Overflow of Last Island.
The apprehensions expressed by us yestei'-
day for the safety of those oa Last Island
have bceu fearfully realized by the melancho
ly intelligence we have to lay before our read
ers this morning. The accounts cannot nec
essarily be implicitly l-clied upon, as in the
confusion and terror of the scene, it is not to
he expected that a strictly correct account
ceuld be rendered. It will he seen that our
friend, Mr. R. B. Brashcar, promises us an
accurate account as soon as obtained, which
when received, we will lay before our read
ers. From the information already received
it will be perceived that the rumors current
throughout the city yesterday morning and
the afternoon previous, have been more than
cnutirini'd.
The sorrow that now shrouds the homes of
many of the most respected citizens of the
State, gives sad testimony of the instability of
life. Many that hut a few days since were in
the free enjoymaut of health, and all that made
life joyous and happy, are now dwellers in
that other life of which man knows not. AVith
painful solicitude we shall look for further
details, anxious to learn that which wc fear to
hear.
Mr. AVm. i ; - 11 ewes, the President of Opel
ousas Railroad, has favored us with a copy of
the following letter:
AA'm. G. Hewes, Esq.—Dear Sir—On my
arrival here I find the Aubrey not yet arrived
from the scene of disaster, hut is expected to

tain the engine Terrebonne nnd two box cars
of the freight train, and a car from the passen
ger train, until the Aubrey gets here, as the
friends of some of the doomed arc here and of
course are anxious.
Mr. Bailey and family ai'e safe, as they did
no) arrive at their fl—anathm. l!.->t ns-mred

Adjournment of Congress—‘Great
EXCITEMENT.
AA r AsniNGTO>', August 18.—This being the
day fixed for adjournment, the House met this
morning at 9 o'clock, amid much excitement.
The miscellaneous appropriation bill was taken
up, and the amendments agreed on hy the
committees of conference were adopted. A
resolution to extend the session for two hours
was lost. Congress adjourned at noon. The
army appropriation bill was lost. The Presi
dent proposes to convene Congress again im
mediately, hut it is doubtful whether it will he
done, as prominent Democrats arc reinonstra-
lg against it.

Correspondence of the St. Louis Hepuldican.
From Kansas.
WniTKBK.jp, K. T.« August 4,1S5G.—This
morning the United States District Court
Judge Lecomptc. began its summer term. The
dogket is large and numbers of counsel are in
attendance. The cases arc chiefly of rather a
political character, being indictments against
those who assumed authority under the election
law in violation of the statute. They excite a
lively interest in the country, and have drawn
together large crowds of persons from hotli
Kansas and Missouri.
The first case is that against Benj. II. Brock
for acting as judge of an election ; sir. Grover,
United States Circuit Attorney, prosecuting,
and Gen. J. M. Bassett and Col. AY. Broadus
Thompson, of St. Joseph, Mo„ defending. It
is said that five hundred of Lane’s troops are
in readiness to rescue those who may he con
victed and held iu judicial duress cither by
fine or imprisonment. On the strength of such
a rumor aud impression, Gen. Smith has sent
fifty dragoons under Captain AA'ood, to protect
the Court and enforce its processes. They are
stationed within a few hundred yards of the
court room, aud prepared to obey any order at
a moment's notice. It is the first time iu our
national history that the precincts of a United
States Court have gleamed with the glitter of
protecting bayonets. It has a strange ap
pearance and a saddening effect. Instead of
awakening iu the mind those hilarious and pat
riotic sentiments incident to marshal shows, it
shadows the spirit with the mysterious gloom
of an indefinable portent. AA’hctlicr it was a
wise or necessary precaution will soon he de
monstrated.
Judge Lecompte delivered au able and elo
quent charge to the grand jury, iu which he
reviewed the most glaring offences, and sug-
ested remedies against the present and pros
pective evils of the country. He admonished
them to be cool and calm and unbiassed in
their action, and to do nothing which could
have even a seeming sectional, political, or per
sonal inclination.
The members of tho grand jury arc Charles
Blakeley, foreman, Thomas J. A r andersliee,
Robert II. Davis, Dr. Shepherd, S. G. Patter
son, Bolivar Beeler, Michael Bird, George
Jessee, Joel Ryan, Joseph Crippen, Thomas
J. Ivery, James B. O’Toole, Evan Evans, Jes
se Brown, and James Miller, all good substan
tial, sensible aud independent citizens, who
came from various sections of the Union to
make themselves homes on our beautiful prai
ries, and to share as fellow countrymen the
glorious destiny which awaits our territory.
On Wednesday last General Richardson sent
Bernard L. AA'oife and R. J. Boyd to recon
noitre and report the progress of Lane’s regi
ment. They returned tins evening, and state
that,, just after crossing the Nebraska line,
they came upon au encampment of two hun
dred and fifty men. They entered the camp
unhesitatingly, and pretended to he ultra Free-
soilers.
They were kindly treated, and remained all
night, during which time they learned from
the leaders that Lane had returned to Chicago
to raise more men and means t/» send on sifter
them; that he was going thence to Pittsburg
and Cincinnati to raise five thousand men, and
charter boats to bring them through to Kansas
without touching at the Missouri towns; that
they were waiting for the forces, then at Ne
braska City, to move in a body down to Tope
ka; that they expected those forces by AVed-
nesday, (day after to-morrow,) when they
would take up their line of march; that when
Lane, with his five thousand men, touched the
shores of Kansas, they would move down from
Topeka to meet him, and that they would then
defy all the border ruffians and the United
States to hoot.
AVolf and Boyd then went on up to Nebras
ka City, where they saw some two hundred or
more of the same regiment, from whom they
heard a confirmation of the statement of the
angnard.
They were all thoroughly armed with rifles,
pistols and knives, and have several pieces of
cannon.
Gen. Richardson has sent this statement to
Gen. Smith, and advised him that if the Uni
ted States troops do not stop nnd disarm these
invaders, he will be compelled to call out the
militia for that purpose. I have no doubt that
General Smith will take prompt action in the
matter.
Kansas has never enjoyed such peace as she
knows at present, and if let alone hy foreign
agitators, there would he universal harmony
and prosperity.

An Extinguisher on Ilajor Douel-
SON.
The orator and organs of know-nothingism
at the South have devoted most of their ener
gies of late to the abuse of Mr. Buchanan on
account of the false allegation that he did in
justice to Mr. Clay in regard to the old charge
of “bargain, intrigue, and corruption.” The
home organ of Major Donelson has been con
spicuous in this line of attack; but the tables
are now turned. The Louisville Courier ail
old Clay whig journal, puts forth the following
extinguisher:

and lGth days of August, 1844. From that
document wc select the following extract:

Major Donelson, on making this annunciation.
CALLED T1IE ATTENTION OF THE
MEETING TO THE FACT THAT MR.
UOYD AY A3 THE DISTINGUISHED KEN
TUCKIAN WHO HAD CHARGED AND
PROVED UPON MR. CLAY, IN HIS
PLACE IN CONGRESS, THE CHARGE OF
‘BARGAIN, INTRIGUE AND CORRUP
TION’ IN THE PRESIDENTIAL ELEC
TION OF 1825. AND WHO HAD BEEN
SUSTAINED BY IIIS CONSTITUENTS IN
IIIS COURSE, HE THEREFORE, PROPOS
ED NINE CHEERS FOR LINN BOYD
AND THE DEMOCRACY OF HIS DIS
TRICT.
“ Such fact as the above quotation furnishes
require no comment. They speak in suffici
ently significant terms. Can even know-noth
ing effrontery dare ask whigs to vote for a
man who, before fifteen thousand people ask
ed that three times three cheers he given for
the man who had ‘charged and proved’ ‘bar
gain, intrigue, and corruption’ upon Henry
Clay—and this so late as 1844, when Donel
son knew the charge had years before been
exposed and exploded 1 Any whig who could
Yote for Donelson, after this exposition, de
serves to he compelled to live under know-
nothing thraldom the balance of his days.”
The Reason why :t IHississippiau
CAN'T SUPPORT FILLMORE.
The Ripley Advertiser says that AV. C. Falk-
ncr, Esq., (late editor of the “ Uncle Sam,” a
vigorous know-nothing newspaper,) at the late
democratic ratification meeting in that town
“ gave iu his experience and formally announc
ed his separation from, and determination to
act no longer with, tho American party. He
told us how he got out of the know-nothing
party—not like Clinton got out of the demo
cratic wagon by jumping out, hut that he was
standing firmly on the 12th section of the
American platform when it was suddenly pull
ed from under him and he fell flat; when he
got up he was standing on something as firm
as the rocks of Gibraltar; lie looked around
aud found it was the democratic platform.
• That lie was in favor of the Kansas-Nebraska
act, repealing the Missouri Compromise; that
Fillmore and the American party were now
oppossed to it, and therefore he could not go
with them. He announced his position iu a
hold, manly manner, and declared his inten
tion to vote for Bnchanan and Breckinridge in
November next.
Wlicrc arc tlie old AVhig Senators ?
The above question is thus answered by the
Albany Argus;
" Clayton, the premier of tlio Whit's in tho Senate,
has declared his hostility to both Fremont and Fill
more. Everett and Choate stand apart from the
whitjs of Massachusetts. Senators Pearce and Pratt,
of Maryland, have given in their adhesion to Bu
chanan. Senator Benjamin, of Louisiana, is on the
stump in tho same cause. Senator Geyer, of Mis
souri, is to follow. Kentucky has sided with the
democracy. Tennessee will follow. Yet -Maryland,
Louisiana. Kentucky,Tennessee, and sometimes Mis
souri, wero onco whig States!”
The Argus adds:
“ It is said that nuta single survivor of the cabinet
of President Harrison votes for Fremont. Tho sou
of Harrison, the son of Clay, the son of AA’ebster, are
all to be found iu tho ranks of tho demo-racy, sus
taining its candidates and upholding the glorious
Union of our States.”

Iii 1840 Mr. Buchanan addressed a Demo
cratic convention in Pennsylvania us follows :
“The whig party had in Mr. Olay a candidate of
whom they mightju>tly he proud—a man of hold and
fearless heart, a man ol hold ami commanding do-
queuoe. and a man of distinguished ability? Al
though nppo.s-d to his political principles, yet I have
ever felt tor him tho highest regard.'
And yet, in the face of the above declara

slanderer of Henry Clay.”
A scald or iicn.x cun be easily cured by the
use of Perry Davis’ Vegetable Pain Killer.
It is equally effectual in curing headache,
pain in the stomach or bowels, dvsentdry,
diarrhoea and cholera.
ArPLYiNo the Rule.—A few days ago
an Irishman was asked by a Beecher-Parker,
rcroiviug-Biblc-rifle disciple, if he was going
to vote for Fremont when the honest Hibernian
made the following reply : “ I am not ui the
country long enough to vote or Fremont.”
‘.‘White not? IIow long aro you in the
country ?” inquired our friend of the black
mixed political creed.
“Five years,” replied the Irishman.
“Wallj that is long enough, if 30U have your
papers,” said Sam.
“I know” said the witty son of Erin, “that is
long enough for a Buchanan voter, but you
know it takes twenty-one years to make a Fre
mont voter—aud, by hokey, I’ll stay the time
out before I vote for him.
