7 I 1 : 1 : 1 S!)c iJctFcvsciuttn. THURSDAY, APEIL 1, 1S75. XOWe succeeded to admiration, last week, in rousing our slumbering, timid, dis tinguished tioiiii l.-r from his letheriry, aiid to draw from Lis usually slu.-gish brain a very respectable uiodieum of evidence of his abil ity to square hiiuseif on paper and invent wit when oeva-ion or necessity drove him to I bo ta.-k. AVc knew all along that he had it in him, and have said so on more than one oc casion and thai it needed only proper prud iing to arouse the Lion in hi.s lair, and to canst- his thundering tones to reverberate ('.rough the air. Our receipe is most effec tual indeed we Deed but to take a pencil and give him a punch beneath the ribs, and such music as we bring from hi.s Democratic den across the way is cnouah to make the very sirens Keep with envy. And then, too, the so; as ho ciiigs about running upstream just the very song among others to suit his mclifluous voice, and to tickle with a most wonderful tickle. And then too our distinguished neighbor lit iows all about-rowing up stream its trials and difficulties, and he knows that we know that he knows it too that we have worked together in the same boat we helping hiat nil, nearly all the time and only succeeding in keeping him clear of snaggs, but never nuking headway progressively and always remaining in one spot rowing round and round and uever getting ahead. We will say nothing about the Chief Burgess-ship, which has always been a success, and has c i used us on more than one occasion to regret i hat with him at the forward oar all should be condemned to failure. Nor will we say jitiything about the time when, solitary and aloue, without essaying to consult us, he at tempted to push up stream as a herdsman that was his work rough work it' was too, its it laid him Hat on his back, a food for laughter to the man who looked on and en joyed the fun. We put on sack cloth and n.-hes and mourned over it as in duty bound. But there was his effort to row up stream, as ;i legislator and then we helped him helped him with all our might, but the returning tide of public opinion was too many for our united efforts even the street commissioner could not help him the Bartonsville tanner being altogether too many for the Banjo snapper of Democracy, and Amaudus and the Jjj were both left on their backs, we g it up, however, in time to show him while he yet lay upon his back that wit?Tihe row ers reversed it was just as easy to get up stream as it was to remain down, if only one rowed aright, for we had not the least trouble, with hisporoWaid of course to step into the Chief Burgess-ship. And there was that other time, when his eyes sparkled over the prospect of a congressional career. We jiguiu jumped in the boat with him and at tempted to stem the tide, but it was no use. J. . put his nose iu our way, and though we rowed, and pulled, and tugged and sput tered he with us and we with him all our fllorts ended iu a most magnificent swamp. Again, as there was nothing in hand for him we paddled to shore, and, with hi assistance of course stepped into the honorable position if Chief 1 Jurgess, and, we have no doubt, that but for the fact there, was an inkling I hat he was by and hrol a hand in our efforts, 1 ih the commissioner and the water would have run, the other day, precisely as we wanted it to run. We have a new idea now :. reference to our distinguished neighbor looking to his advancement both in dignity, honor and stamps, and we mean to join him heart and hand in the gratification of a djsire that lies very near his heart, and this time we mean to make a successful effort to mak ing him our new Associate Judge. We feel that he would adorn the bench and that the licneh would adorn and pay him, and hence w-: give notice, that from henceforth, until the day of election, our efforts are pledged for the advancement of the future Judge Amaudus Orevus Greenwald. We do this iu v iew of the fact that Congressional honors are so far iu the future for Monroe county, J hat both our distinguished neighbor and viurself would tire ourselves to death ere we could accomplish half the distance of so loug up stream a pull. Next our neighbor refers, in a witty strain to his effort in securing the post office print iug. We regret sincerely that lie touched this point iu the way he did. It was not at 'ill necessary that he should thus publish to the world the low price at which he held his services ia support of the incumbent, and his silence iu reference to the administration. Three dollars and fifty cents paid iu full for both and yet we do not kuow that the pur ehaser had much of a, bargaiu after all. J lis silence, it is true, was secured ; but then his pen amounted to nothing dangerous, fur the time has not yetcomein which he dared to use it either for manly condemnation or open unequivocal support of anything. The price certainly was not much of a bite, and the fact that we did not bid for it is certainly proof that we had no particular hankering after it. Our distinguished neighbor next grows sar castic, and couples us iu connection with "a certain christian statesman out at Mauch Chunk," in a scramble to .supplant our pre sent post mi-it ress. J f e even goes so far as to gjvc our thoughts; and yet .since that present god of Democracy Andrew Johnson hoisted us, as our neighbors dairy of "auld lang sy!:c," hoisted him, our hankerings have been for anything but the postniusters.hip, and his juicasm loses force for want of the sinide -rain of truth necessary to give it point. We have thrieo had the position offered us by a .1.1.1 i . t , l lower pote!:r in me una, i,uc pave a. ways J Jined the honor. Oar utterances have b en publi-hed i'luiii conviction of their justice. Mr. Albright and Simon Cameron are both readers of the Jcjf. and their names have never been omitted iu the making up of our mails. We were just in couiracndatioa of the good, deeds of the powers that be, and we believe we were altogether as just iu our condemnation of their bad deeds. The ,hjj'. is not the Democrat that it must .swallow every act of party, and either praise or sing dumb when every sense of right dictates that it should condemn. Our distinguished neighbors application of J.-op, in another article, is not by any means as appropriate or fclieitious as: it might be, but for him it is good and we leave it as a sweet morsel to roll uuder his tongue, satisfied that his protruding cars will forever prevent hiai from being mistaken for the iiou. 5i7 Our neighbor, across the wa, last week, presented the claims of Judge Drehcr to the consideration of the Democracy for Governor. That party has not a man iu its rauks, better qualified nor more deserving of the position than is the Honorable Samuel S. Drehcr, but the fact is that he is too good a man for the party. They do not want such a man for the position for honest, fear less, and true he would stand as au invulner able bulwark against the inroads of the lead ers on the Treasury. Nor is the Democrat, serious in its advocacy of Mr. Drehcr for the position. We have seen that kind of move before, and understand what it means as per fectly as does the party who dictated it. The fact is no body here wants Judge Drehcr to be (Jovernor. We all worked to place him iu the position he now fills so honorably and so well, and all want him to remain just where he is an object of pride for us all over the possession iu him of a model judge, a rare good citizen, and, in every sense of the word a perfect christian gentleman. Such a man we want here, just where the suHVages of Uic people placed him. But why talk about it such a man the Democracy do not want for Governor and will not nominate him. IIavixo occasion to visit uptown, a few days since, we took a look around generally, and, among other places, dropped in to see friend Kautz. As usual we found Valentine up to the very top of his head in business first here, then there and then somewhere else but all the time having a keen eye to everything that was going on and making particular note that every man, in every par ticular branch of business, was going on pre cisely as it ought to each one selecting the best material and fashioning it in the best shape to meet the purpose for which it was intended. Watching our opportunity we iinalhy succeeded in fastening on to Valentine, and then we took a look around to see what was to be seen. The visit was pleasant, and the view was most gratifying, as setting forth before us the fact that Monroe county folks have no heed to go abroad for anything, from a plain rivet to a horse well shod from a wheel-barrow to the most stylish carriage that rolls over the road and there were wagons for heavy Work and wagons for light work and buggies for the wedding trip and bug gies for pleasure and carriages for the few and carryalls for the ma 113', and lumber iu abundance, of the best material and in the best condition of seasoning to make anything that may be called for from a velocipede to a palace car from a hand cart to a wagon that will carry a mountaiu load. And in ali its departments the establishment is com plete having blacksmith shop, wheelwright shop, paint shop and trimming shop all uuder one roof, and each department complete iu its appointments and filled with the best workmen to be procured. These facts, taken in connection with that other fact that Valen tine keeps an unflinching watch over the whole should, we think, be .sufficient to induce all to feel and to know that in hiscitabli-hmcnt we have just the place to go to, to make cer tain of getting just what we want in shape of au outfit, and the full work in that for which we pay our money. Header drop iu and see for yourself. Friend Kautz charges uothing for showing what is to be seen, even though your curiosity includes Italian Dees and the best hive extant ; for he finds tiuie, in con- nection witn ms extensive busiuess lor a pleasurable attention to these too. Thk Dkl. Lack. & Wkstkrn Railroad for several days, last week, had a large force of hands employed cutting a channel through the ice in the Water Gap. This we presume was to case the way for the large gorge of ice, nearly twenty miles in length or from near Shawnee beyond Dingtnan's Ferry This gorge has been a grand affair, and has been visited by thousands from many miles away, but its grandeur was more than com pensated by the great fear of consequences sure to flow from its sudden detachment from its confined position. The railroad com pany's idea of the danger to everything in its path was clearly set forth by the offer made to the Portland bridge company, of 1 0,000, if they would take their bridge out of the way before the ice started. Indeed everybody, all along the river has been living in trepidation for a month past over the pos sible direful consequences of a sudden up, and not without reason. One of the incidents attendant upon the visits to the gorge was an overwhelming sousing indulged jn by our townsman Mr. Frank Hess. Ot'lt citizens were startled some by the alarm of fire on Thursday afternoon last, which grew out of the burning of some straw iu Mr. E. Hibbler's wood shed, near his barn, set fire to by some loys playing with matches, and which, iu turn set fire to the building. The fire was got under by the aid of the citizens, while the Steamer did it: share in serving the adjoining buildings. And right here comes in au argumcut in fa vor of those cisterns, about which we have said so much.. In the central part of the "burg" there is no telling what might have been the consequences of that fire.

THE TORNADO AT THE SOUTH. THK .MOST DKSTRUCTIVK STORM IN THE ANNTALS OF THK COKXTV K3 PEO PLE KILLED AND 123 WOUNDED. The Atlanta, Ga., Constitution of the 2-Rh, give full particulars of the recent terrible tornado m that State ami ;-outii Carolina. Light counties in Georgia, and three in South Carolina, need relief from the tornado. The list of the killed and wounded is appalling. The inarch of the tornado was west from Harris county, across Talbot, Upson, Monroe, Jones, Bald win, Hancock, Glascock, McDuffie, and Columbia, touching Richmond also, and passing into Carolina. In Hancock county, sixteen houses were destroyed at one place, and in Glasscock thirty-five lives lost. At Mary ville, in Warren county, three uegroes were killed, their bodies being carried a half mile. The total list of killed and wounded foots, "105 killed, and 12.3 wound ed. The tornado is thus described by a correspondent : Those who viewed it from the south describe it as being densely black, while all who reviewed it from the opposite direction agree in describing it as being luminous as flame. It was funnel-shaped, with the point resting upon the ground, and its broad top melting in the distance where the 03-0 could not reach. It moved with a lumbering sound, as if thousands of pieces of artillery were pouring an in cessant cannonade upon the earth. One trontleman says if every cannon iu the world had been fired simultaneously and inces santly the roar could not have equalled that of the wind, ever was such a tornado felt in Georgia. The front cloud was pitch black, half a mile high, and half a mile wide. It was barrel-shape at times, and at times it took the form of a half moon, re volving from north to south. The rear was illuminated with a huid, phosphores cent, but wholly unnatural light. It trav eled at the rate of seventy miles per hour. It was flanked on the north and south sides with dense clouds, but stood out in bold relief alone. It demolished each planta tion in twenty seconds. It was accom panied by a sound as of five hundred can non in the decisive moment of pitch bat tle. Not a drop of vain fell from it, but a great rain storm came up three hours af terwards, and deluged the earth, accom panied by hail, wind, thunder and light ning. The cloud first appeared in a north westerly direction, and gradually moved south to a point where it must have met some opposing force. My attention was attracted by a dull, heavy roaring at ap parently some two or three miles in a wes terly direction, which induced the expecta tion of a severe storm. I had but cx- pressed this when the tornado was upon us. It spent its jrrcaiest fury in about three minutes, my dwelling about the cen tre, and the breadth of the main column not exceeding 400 yards. The senses were utterly deadened, appalled. There was a crash, a roar, the mingling of a hundred t.-rrifie and unknown sound? ; the glass, shattered by the mere force of the wind, were thrown across the rooms with force enough to penetrate the flesh ; the shutters were wrenched from their hinges. Of five hundred noble oaks that had withstood the storms of a century, not a half dozen were left standing, and of that host of oaks that surrounded my dwelling, but a solitary one stands sentinel over the graves of its breth ren. A negro man who saw the tornado cross at Furry's Ferry, says it was a terri ble sight. The air was filled with shingles and limbs of trees whirling along at a tre mendous speed. In Baldwin county a shingle was driven, sharp end foremost. several inches into the body of a small oak tree it happened to strike direct!'. I he found lodged m the branches of a lofty tree, not exactly in the hurricane's path ; and a child of the ame race was btown away, and has not been found at all. Dick Gonder was killed by having the upper half of his head cut on smoothly by a plank unven with the wind, and the missing top of his head has not been lound. Another correspondent, writing from Richmond county, says : Mr. Brown was found with his head under a heavy plate. His skull was fractured six inches. Mrs. Brown was severely bruised, but their child. a little boy six years old, was unhurt. Three negroes on this place were killed. One woman was blown l.0 yards through the woods, and was broken and mamrled fear fully. A child was blown from the arms of one of the women, and its body had not been found up to the time that our infor mant left, borne tntrials were found in the woods on Sunday, which, in the opin ion of Dr. Hardeman, were those of the ctiim. in crossing the river the wind lilted the water up in a solid mass until it seemed a perfect wall of water. Charles Johnson, a man employed by Colonel Johnson, was hauling a load of lumber to town from Scotsboro, and seeing the danger, hastily unhitched the horses. The wind picked the horses up and dashed them against the ground injuring them quite severely. Charles, the driver, sustained a painful in jury the wagon ami lumber were blown away. A goat on the plantation of Colonel rair was blown oft, as was all the poultry bmall rocks were blown with such force that they were imbeded in trees and still to be seen there. In Columbia county. muo v-nariio .vvery nau his clot lies strip ped from his body by the wind, and coarse sand driven against his naked form with such force as to enter his flesh.

In the 21th Pisti -iet of Richmond county, 1.1 miles from Augusta, the destruction was irreat. The path of the tornado was about six hundred yards wide at its widest point and two hundred at its narrowest. An eye witness, who was some distance outside the extreme limit, describes the scene as fearfull v grand. The cyclone was a cylindrical shape, and rotated with fearful velocity. It would rise to a dizzy height and then swoop down like a bird of prey with terrific force, tear ing up trees, grass, fencing and everythin"- ..1 ...... ti. .i 1.1 . ? else, as it struck tho earth 1 .w, .1 .., flV'l.
