About 8 o’clock 'Wednesday afternoon black clouds, heavily rolling, betokened;'a severe jtQrm, The clouds did not float as.they usual ly do, but seemed to roll and gather size and ■blackness" each moment. A sijdden wind sprung up, and there was seen coming, toward the village from tho nor beast a heavy olond ’ and trail of’wind, rolling close to tire earth.— with tree top?,.rails, &e., flying in the air. At the same time there appeared another cloud of like nature, but darker and wider,, somiug to ward the village from the west. People ran to close .doors and windowsf and to slek safety within bqpsee, stores, offices and shoos. The first noticed current was passing to the* southwest, the other passing to the east.. The ends or points came in contact near the resi dence -of : Wm. Vonght, a quarter of a mile west of the main street, with a-cnwJ and. rum bling spund as if ah army of demons were there r engsged in terrible battle. - People ran in. terror to the cellars of their houses. The wind increased in fury. There vfas a whirl, a crash, a howl, and the house of Mr. Yought • was whirled iuto fragments and; thrown hither and yon like pieces irom a buret og’Shell. Men and'women held doors firm I f, closed, or ran trembling to the cellars, -Jirli tnpment, the current from the west turned .the one from the northeast; the two joined and sped on in ah* eastern course, with a roaring, whirling, rolling, terrible force no,pen can describe. The lesser current or storm seemed ft prisoner, a toy, a plaything, on adjutant,-a little whistle to amuse the greater volume. Now the two would unite, then they would converge, sweep around some bousg, meet again, join hands and on , with terrible nod resistless fury,, like hell and his partner ont on a drunken spree. The two storms,danced hand in hand Over-the country for fourteen miles, leaving a track from forty to eighty rods wide. It was a revel, of -the ele ments, a danee of terror, destruction, demoli tion and death'. t •[ In tvfo minutes the storm bad,dashed into fragments the entire south portion of tho. vil lage ; and those who crept out of\ houses not turn down, or those who from the’i|her part, of the .place'could look upon the' (jcene, saw ,a cloud rolling eastward. It was more than a cloud—abash of wind, timber, dwelling houses, barns, out-houses, harness, household goods, etc., torn, broken, and twisted Into fragments, filling the ajr, with flying pieces, dirt, stones, trees, limbs, rails, wagons, fences, shrubbery, eto.,lds , if. the great black cloud was some gigantic.crow’s nest! , -, ■ . A young lady -named Lydia Gillett, aged, twenty years, ran up from the cellar, where the family had gathered for safety, to close a cellar door which was blown opeh. Asjshe reached the. top of'the cellar stairs, thC' house’ was caught up,.whirled in the, air, dashed to the earth, and the fragments carried sods away.— Miss Gillett was found in a flpld s(>me distance from the cellar, soJhadly injured that ehe died in a.,few.moments.’ The rest of>the family es caped .unhurt, with the. exception of slight bruises, while their home had gone forever.

The school bouse ia not to be found. .Near the residence of John Gardner stands a tall oak rising about Eixty'.foet from the ground. The wind whisked qvery leaf and small twig from the tree, leaving-it looking as if dead. The. house, a large • white one, was taken so high in the. air that itwua seen above the tree tops, dashed to the- ground, lifted again higher than before, whirled around and dashed, roof down upon the iyirth a few rods from its foundation, and ail but a few timbers borne away.

It is to be hoped that the whole subject will be bro’t prominently 'forward, examined, weighed, and at last adjusted in accord with the rule— What ever is Sight is Expedient. We notice that some of our ootemporaries are bolding back from a declaration of their views ns regards this all-engrossing question. It is to be regretted. It is time to speak oat. The settlement of the question is at hand. No party can succeed, and none' deserves to succeed, which makes either birth or color the qualification for the exercise of the right. As the stability of a popular government depends upon the intelligence and virtue of the entire mass of the people, the only limitation or 're striction justly possible, must relate'to the fit ness of the individual in these respects. In the oase-of persons of foreign birth, it is neo essttry to put them in a state of probation un til they prove their identification with the com mon interest, and fully renounce their former allegiance. More than this, ths prime requi sites being possessed, wpold be unjust. Less probation would open ,up the country to the machinations of the enemies of free institu tions in. the Old World, who would bo enabled to colonize the centers of population prior to an election, and so control tho ballot-box. No. The accidents of; birth and color can not qualify or disqualify any man for self-gov ernment. Practically, air men are not fitted to govern themselves. The Mexicans are an ,example, on this continent. Dense ignoranpe jis incompatible with Freedom. • The'masses of Franco are too little enlightened to act in intel ligent concert; and thus, with them liberty de generates into license, and extraneous power is resorted to to restore order. It cannot be successfully denied that the ex periment of eelf government has succeeded best, on a large scale, in this country. It Is "v: u M. H. 0088, EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR WEX.X.SBOROUGB, PENN’A. THE VEXED QUESTION—AGAIN. WT CX) T~ XGTTTX T 0 R. a noticeable fact, likewise, that in ntj country on 'the globe- is the diffusion of elementary knowledge so general as in this republic. We choose to consider these facts in juxtaposition in! discussing the Suffrage Question. Free Schools, Free Churches, and Iree Presses— these metke-ihemaintenanee of popular ■govern- ment possible; and every attempt: to maintain popolar government without these ,appliances, has afways failed, and most always fail. - -The Question of-Golor tyns to- be met on the | threshold of the work. ‘ Here are the selfish prejudices of an.age to overcome. But justice must-be done though prejudice go into convul sions. The black man only asks that the gates of Opportunity be opened to hini Us well as to the white man. And it will not do for any set of men .to cry down the negro as “vastly inferior race," while denying him the cheap privilege of opportunity to übow. All this alarm about negro equality is unworthy of .men of sound minds. Does the right to vote render silly A the intellectual, moral, and so cial peer of a Seward ? Preposterous 1 But it makes them equal at the ballot-box, says one. Preiisely. And are not all men, regardless of complexion, equal before the law'in this Com monwealth ? Do courts make such they dispense depend upon the complexion of plaintiff or defendant 7 ", i -, So we take our position. When any man, white, yellow, brown, or black, and otherwise not legally disqualified, presents himself at the polls, the only test should be educational fit ness. A fair common school education is am ple to fit men for self-government. With this they can inform themselves of public policy; and vote intelligently- Without it they are li able to be deceived by demagogues, and made the unwitting agents of the destruction of all liberty. The Copperhead papers have discovered a new Constitation-annihilator. Some paper’ having said that the' army would soon be re-' duced to 100,000 men, one of our exchanges of the Coppery persuasion raises a hullabaloo. It says, “ there is no war, and no signs of war, “ and the country no more needs one hundred “ thousand men for an army than it needs ten “ thousand ships on. the sea. It is a wanton “ waste of money, and. a, wicked increase of “the hardens of. the .people, to insist now on “a standing army of 100,000 men.” Upon which we cite ydur attention to the fol lowing facts: —That y on and your sort have decried every proposed increase of the army made daring the last four years, as a wanton extravagance, and a wicked increase of the public debt.- —That you have always denied the power of the Government to raise and maintain an army for the suppression of the Slaveholders’ Rebel lion—-declaring it to be unconstitutional. . JULY 19, 1865. —That VOU and JODI sort tray of 18,000 men into Texas, and the -most dis- - tant Territories; in order to disarm the Govern ment and give the Rebellion a clear field. —And-finally, that but for the promise of full cooperation and sympathy from the chiefs of your party (see Gen. Ewell’s letter), there would have been no great Rebellion, and con sequently no need of 'a, vast army ; and conse quently no “ increase of the public debt,” Really, we do not see what right you bate to grumble about extravagance, or increased taxation. It is as if a man should set fire to his own house and dispute the bill of expense i incurred in putting down the flames. The il lustration has two bearings, yon perceive. It is not probable that the Administration will conclude to disband the army upon the petition of men who have been cursing the Government for the last four years. Why not go on with your net make so much fuss about it 1 The-prevalence of very high crimes all over the country is attracting much attention, and exciting considerable alarm. The columns of our exchanges teem with disgusting accounts of rapes, murder, and robbery, enough to sick en the most morbid imagitiation. ' Hardly had the brutal violation and murder of Isabella Joyce, and the murder of her little brother thrilled the public mind with horror, when a flood of like crimes seemed to overflow the land from the Atlantic to the Mississippi. Perhaps Crime « sometimes epidemic. It seems so in this case. But the progress of'nil epidemics may be arrested if fight sanitary measures be adopted' in time. The career of crime may be arrested in a similar manner. Nay, it must be arrested, or all respect for, and confidence in-law, will -be-lott. When metr are convicted of these gross crimes they must be punished with the utmost severity allowed by law, that the evil-minded may know beyond cavil, that punishment will follow the crime as pain follows meddling with hot iron. There can be no palliation of such crimes as the Joyce rape and murder at Roxbury, Mass, or the similar outrages at East Albany, N. Y., and elsewhere. The perpetrators should be condignly and certainly punished ; and if any magistrate fail to mete out the strictest justice on the due conviction of such monsters, let the people hurl him down, and replace him with a kan 1 The laws must be enforced ; and the attempt to apologize for such outrages should place the apologist under ban. Let law be en forced, or abolish it as a bambug and a cheat. Let ns have no more mefoy flowing from sym pathy with crime, or criminals. The Philadelphia Peesb hae put on a new drees, and may be said to be the handsomest newspaper printed anywhere. The Pkbss hae led the van in Pennsylvania journalism for many years.

One or two of onr exchanges of the right poisonous stamp, are ih'ecstacies over an alleg ed interview between Senator Sumner and the President, in which Sumner is represented aa having acted like a madman, and President .Johnson like n cun mon scold.

The Bounty’ Funk Loans.—The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania has delivered an -opin ion which is of much importance to the holders of loans and hoods issued by the various cities, boroughs, towns and counties in the State, add which settles beyond cavil the rights of such clssses of creditors. The Legislature, by act of April 25, 1864, authorized such communi ties to .issue bonds and negotiate loans for the purpose of paying bounties to encourage- vol unteering, und to relieve their citizens from the burdens of the draft, giving power also to levy taxes to pay the principal and interest of such loans. The borough of Blairsville hav ing proposed to borrow $5OOO for such a purpose, soma citizens of that place made ap plication to the Court of Common Pleas of Indiana county to restrain the borough from proceeding in that negociation. The ground taken in opposition was, that the act was un constitutional, and that the Legislature had no power to pass’ it. The Court of Indiana county did not accept this view, and the injunction was refused. The case was then taken to the Supreme Court, where it was twice argued— once in Pittsburg and once at Harrisburg. The question seems to have been carefully considered by the five judges, and at length we have their decision. The Court, by Justice Agnew (Justice Reed and Strung concurring,) decided that the act was constitutional, and that nil loans negociated by virtue of its pro visions are valid. Chief Justice Woodward and Justice Thompson dissented. The matter is uf considerable interest as some millions of dollar’s worth of their loans, issued for military purposes, are held. The doubt which existed while the Blairville case was yet undetermined exercised a depressing influence upon those securities. : Now that all objections ore remov ed, they will advance to the rate held by other ;loahs. —franklin Co. Repository. v- KsoSo Scfjhaqe in thi South.—To the ob jection that negro suffrage implies negro social equality, the Frankfort Commonwealth prompt fly responds: Negroes have voted in the South, and yet were in no sense advanced to an equality with the whites. In every Southern State, except South Carolina, the right of suffrage was origi nally exercised by all “ freemen.” The origi nal Constitutions of Delaware, Maryland, North Carolina, Virginiaj and Georgia, make no men tion of color, or distinction between white and block, in their provisions as to who may vote. Till within comparatively few years, negroes voted in Tennessee. In Maryland they voted until 1833,and in North Carolina as late as 1835. Now, did this advance them at all in the scale of equality? Were the schools in those States thrown open to them ? Did they visit in gentleman’s parlors ? Was amalgama tion any more common in those days than it is now ? We hope not. Was there, in any sense, the “ equality” of which the opposition is now so offensively talking, and with which they are as pertinaciously insulting the common sense and decency ot the people? Not a bit of it . In Pennsylvania colored people voted until 1838. Yet-rn that State a negro has not the same privileges that he has here in Kentucky. In Connecticut the negro voted till 1817, and yet he had not attained an equality sufficient to preserve for himself the privilege. In New York the negro, if he has the requisite proper ty qualification, may vote now, but be has scarcely advanced one step in the scale of equality. Not even near enough to have the property restriction removed in his case, when it was removed in 1836, as far as it applied to the white order.. i EDITOR'S NOTICE.—THE UNDERSIGNED HAYING, been appointed an auditor to settle the account of J.

The advantages I claim are, a larger sale of goods in proportion to my expen ses than most any boose in the country, also no losses by old goods or credit accounts. Ido not carry a very heavy stock, bat intend to keep all goods that can be sold to advantage, making no leads as is cm. tomary in many booses to draw trade; selling a few goods very low and making op on others, but selling all goods at a very low scale of profits, and giving small bayers as good a chance as large ones.
