 SAVANNAH, l7th April, 1888.
 arrived at this port on Thursday, from Havana, where l was for 21 days, during the worst of the Epidemic. It was truly dis tressing to witness the number of human be- ings that were victims to it.
 It ragged to the greatest extent from the 22d to the 27lh March, when not less than $500 persons died in the five days. It was most fatal among the colored population {; they died in the proportion of about 20 to l. But. from my personal observation, I was confident that it was owing in part to their scantv living, and more to their want of cloth. ing and knowledge of treatment in the first stages of the disease. It has now abated in the city, but has made its appearance in the plantations in the country, some of which have suffered severely, having lost 50 out of 800 in four days.
 The whole number of deaths, up to the 9th of April, was computed at from 10 to l2, ,O0O, greater number than have been victims in any place of the same magnitude, since the appearance of the disease. The population of the city and suburbs, including the soldiers,
  nominal, as business had been almost stispen- ded. The crops of cane were left to perish on the ground, iu consequence of the cpl demc.
 The remarkable tornado which produced great injury to houses, trees. crops and even about the 1gth inst. extended about 25 miles, and probably somewhat further. At the last accounts all the particulars had not been ob- tained. It began on Thursday, between 5 and o'clock P. M. at some distance south west from Springfield, Ohio. and threatened that town, but passed south of it, and came within miles of Dayton. It unroofed MT. Peterson's house: demolished that of Mr. ThrOckmorton, killed one of his children ard woundng the parents; stopped the Yellow Spring roads with trees, SIc. buried seven persons in one house who were afterwards rescued, and caused much other injury.

 The Charleston Mercury,the s. C. organ of Modification, gravely cautions all the Nu!lifers against Peter Pdriey's Tales for Children" Those clever iuvenile publications are put un- der the ban of the " realm." because they are suspected of containing " "attacks upon our domestic institutions !'' It is very possible that our friend Peter. in the honesty of his heart and in the dilation of his old fashioned patriotism, may have spoken of our glorious Union as thing of value and worth preserv- ing. He may have done as much as this: though we can't say for the life of us, wheth- CT he has or has not. But if he has, wo to his Tales for Children among the Nuliers They could never hope to withstand the Qyrn al opA 1I v,l, Snh, peril their lives for---thsir sugar We shall not be surprised if Gov.

 Conriction for Raw.-A monster, by the name of Samuel Cordery. was convicted at Camden, N. J. few days since, for rape upon Bellah SteeIman, little girl about 8 years of age, and sentenced by Chief Justice Hornblower, to four years imprisonment in the State Prison. The circumstances are these Miss Steelman's parents live at Egg Harb"r. She had been in Camden or the neighborhOOd at schOOl-wished to return home. Her father employed Cordery, re- gnar trader between the shore and Philadel- phia. to bring her home. It was shown that at the time appointed, Cordery, and Peter Bolce, with their two wagons, called for her at OogwocdtOwn, near Camden Ferry-that she got into the wagon with Cordery-that within one mile of that place he accomplish ed h's internal purpose, and that, too. before 'hey had reached Hadd0nfield, where they stopped about nine o'clock in the evening" Alter remaining there short time they start ed, and BOice left his owu wagon in which another girl was riding. aud got in with Miss Steelman. Miss s. was much pleased with the change at first, but soon found another monster in human shape. He used her less cere renioniOusly than Cordery.
 Cordery is a man of respectable cOnnex- ions, and has wife and four children. The Newark Sentinel characteristics this outrage as m ah0minHhla instance Uf human depraviiy, !
