Many thanks for your kind words of appreciation — felt as though I had been visiting strangers uninvited, hence your words were as refieshing to my drooping spirits, as the waters of the Choaspes to the weary, thirsty Persian soldici alter a long days march. 1 detest flatery; but a word ol honest comnien dation now and then, does serve to keep our hearts light, and our ceuragr above zero. The inside of our Timkh, is becom ing more interesting every week.

We all know that po>kel extiads are es sential to the iiie of any enterprise. 1 have l e r*l that there are many well-to-do men in Dade, who naver read a Dade Gazette, P.ogress or Times, only when they could pick one up about “town” or borrow one fiom a neighbor.

NEWS IN THE STATE OF DADE. 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. T J L.

I Mr. Clayton Tatum, who was in jured by th cyclone on Lookout Moun tain, is at his fathers’ ou a visit, lie [will probably be a cripple all for life. Politics are quiet, we are all for Clements tor Congres, and McDonald for Governor. Nothing new has de veloped in the Senatorial race.

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.

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.
