Gathered Over the County by
Our Correspondents.
And Sent Throu«h the Malls to The
Weekly Tlmes-News form Other
Points of the Compass
Correiponent *f the Wbski.t Tin*. .
Some things are of intsrest to the
generality of newspaper readers. As
a general rule tbe human family i*j
I prone to cherish in their memories in
cidents and occtirranoes the tendency
Lf which, is the destruction of either
life or property. The good resulting
from any cause is permitted to occupy
a space in our memories ot but short
duration, while evil we hold too w ith
great tenacity; menioiy seems to be
death to let it slip. The desiieto wit
ness or inspect the results ol any dis
tractive element, either ol nature or
„rt is almost irrestis.ble wilh same.
This being the case is my excuse for
writing this communication.
Your readers roimiwinber that on
the Ist day of April a tenifie cyclone
passed through the South-end of this
county, destroying life and pioperty.
The writer visited the track of this
<-yclone last. Thursday and examined
the appearance of the falling timber,
wrecked bouses and scatternd fencing
The dwelling house occupied by Mr.
[Clayton Tatum, was literally torn
to atoms, even the shingles were tome
into splinters. Fence rails were hurled
with such force as to break them.
The peculiarity in the track of the -
clone, is the position of the fallen tim-
beia occupy. In the ma:n ihe tops o
the trees arc to the center of the track;
ant in one place, probably Sor a bah
mile, the reverse i > the case. All tli
tinil er south of the center, fell south,
while that north ol the center, fel'
north. At another place tin* tin b
south ol the center fell toward the
west while north ol the center fell eas*
At this place, which is probably ball
mite lomr, there is a skiit of timber
left standing near the center of the
course, some thirty cr tolly yards wide,
while upon either side, not a tree is
left standing. The force of the wind
must have been terrible, trees having
bejn twisted off aud carried some hum -
red yards from the stump. 1 not <-ed
at one place, hickory saplings mm
eight inches through were pu led up,
as though they had been raised with
a stump puller. The track of the cy
clone lias tho appearance ol a large
clearing; the timber having been c t
and lett lying on the ground. It being |
>o devoind of standing timber. Hav
ing no instrument I cannot give the
exact course of tha cyclone, but from
the best datta 1 c u’d t biain is about
ten degree north of cast. 1 hose who
lost most heavily of lifiiber are Petei
Forester. Mr. Lozn, A M r »"owler, iln-
Levitt place and the Kates place on
top of the mountain. 1 did not visit
the track on either the west or east side
• f the mountain, and cannot tell
whether the destruction of timber was
greater upon the mountain than in the
valley. The loss eould, in a measnie,
be recovered by having the timber cm
into lumber, which 1 understand Mr
Forester desires to have done. This
would be a good location lot a saw
mill, they could get some two or tlnee
bundled thousand leel ol good timbei
timber to saw. Saw-mill men, would
find it two their interest to move their
mills out tiieie.
We bail quite a pleasant time
Met seveial nice ladies and gentlemen
There is quite a qlk»u settlement of
good people in this section, mostly
fioin the northwest.
\Ye dined with Mr, Steiner, Friday,
a sturdy farmer from Michigan. NN •
formed quite a favorable opinion ol
him and his good lady.
Some <»f the people in ibe neighbor
hood ol the cyclonic track, are coiiaid-
. r ible excited over the apprehension
of another. But for llicir eiicmuagc
meiit we would call their attention to
the terrible hurricane that passed ov« i
Rising Fawn in 18.16 or 1*37, nc br
ieve, and none since. So we think
the pa*t history of these tornadoes or
cyclone show they are not confined to
j the same track. If you should move
into the valley you nilghe into the
course of the vety next one.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
The Democratic Party a U nit on
Revenue Reform.
The Heart of the Party To-day More
Strontfly for Tlidenthan It has
tver Been-Gossip in Gen
eral From the Capitol.
Correspondence of tH*- Wkkki.v Tims].
\Y asHiniiton, D. C. April 23. —
with etch suctexling day the prospect
»f Democratic success in November
grow brighter and this attributed large
ly to the deniediza tion existing in the
Republican ranks. The dire diasters
that were to overtake the Democracy
on aconnt of alleged factiona’ fights,
personal ambitions and bitterness aie
being realized by the grand old party
of high morality, (?) indissoluble.,
unity and star route purity. To be
placed where you are compelled to lis
to the statements of Republicans,
themselves, you would be convinced,
[that while it is said “there is honoi
among thieves.” there is none among
the leaders of the g. o. p. Not only
so but it would further appear that
nominate whom they may, enough will
be found ready to bolt to leave the
nominee in a woelnl minority.
It i» h fact marked and commented
upon that in all the abuse, villification
and denunciation ot the leading candi
dates for Republican nomination, the
Democratic ptess and politicinna take
no part; they merely stand by and look
with astonishment, it may he with
pleasure, while tho Worthy members
(?) of the Republican press and paity
are destroying the image* that they
have heretofore set up within their
temple. Republican abuee ot Republi
cans is fn: milling tin* Democratic paity
wiih all the ammunition that will be
needed for use in the next campaign.
Fhe disaster* to fl >w from the con
sideration of the Morrison tari ft bill
are not pwerivable. on the contrary it
will be developed, ere tbe matter be
finally disposed of, that tbe Democrat
ic party is substantially a unit on reve
utte reform and that the Morrison bill
is but one step in the directions of
bringing tbe people and the (lovern
ment to a realizing sense of the great
wrong that is being influenced on the
, country by a continuance oi the war
, tariff
Wisely tticre is a spirit in tlie Demo
cratic- party to-flay to take R»pul)li
catiw at tlirir wtudfi iclativea to their
leaders and to sink all ambitions, all
personal likes and dwlikea, to secure
the great aimf*and end of relieving the
countiv, through the onlj sure chan-
nel, that of Democratic supremacy.
It is true State pride, natural leanings
toward particular personal preferences
and a desire te return personal favors
received, have their weight to warp
men’s judgement, in a measure, but all
are actuated and will be governed by a
des’re in the approaching campaign to
secure a winner, being in posttion to
see and know, converse and become
acquainted with the leaders of public
opinion in the Democratic party, we
can say never before has there been a
more cordial disposition to fight united-
ly f»j success .ruder the banner of
whoever the party in convention as
sembled shall designate as its leader.
\U that is asLed is a clear showing
of hands and that every man shall
stand on his own merits.
While this is the case, it is equally
clear that the heart of the patty is to-
day more strongiy for Samuel J. l il
den than it has ever been, and tnat one
single intimation that he would or
could accept a nomination would clear
up all doub'.s as to who would be
nominated at (Mticago in July. He
knows it as well as do others, and that
with his consent the convention would
only meet to ratify the will of the
party at the polls in November; but
unfortunately for him and tor the
country, this cannot he, and to others
we must look to bear the banner he
cannot take up.
From a long list of worthy Demo
crats the party must choose, and
whether it be Carlisle. Morrison,
NlcDonidd, Heudricke, Payne. Hoad
ley, Randall, Flower, Cleveland, Bay
ard or others that might be mentioned-
the party will be found unitedly fight
ing in the interests of the people and
>f good government. As public opin
ion is being formed, moulded and b*-
•oming crystralized as we will en
leavor to keep j»n posted as to the
novels as seen from this standpoint.

In an interview the other day with
Ex-Congressman Derendorf, of Vir
ginia, the leadet of the straight-ont
Republicans in that State, he said to
yonr correspondent that be had made
a statement before the Sherman iuves
tigating Committee that if Federal
patronage were withheld from Mahon**
he could not keep his party together
for fifteen minutes. "1 could go fur
ther now.” he continued, “and say
that even with all the Federal offices
in Virginia at his disposal he cannot
keep the Readjuster party under his
driverslop from going to pieces. Look
at it ! In Albemarle county, which
gave the largest Re-adjnster majority
of any county in the State, at its
meeting the other day to appoint dele-1
gates to the Readjuster State Conven-*
tion, there were twelve jiersons present,
and it i- entittled to twenty-two dele
gates! In Norfolk nearly all of the
primaries of the Mahonites have brok-
en tip in rows. Over in Portsmouth
at one or two meetings, the delegates
disgusted with Mahone’s dictatorship
just left the hall and went home with
out doiug anything whatever. And
so it is going all over the State. Ma
hone rule in Virginia is forever at an
end.” S. B.
