STEVENSON g. TANEY, REJECTED

&C The National Inteligeneer of Wednes-
day last, says-The Senate spent severa
hours yesterday in the consideration of Exc
|cutive business. In the course ofthe sitting
1.-THE nomination of ANDREW STEVENSON, as
Minister to England, and Of ROGER B. Ia
|NEY, as Secretary of the Treasury, were RE-
JEcTED and the nomination of BENJAMIN
If. BUTLER, as Attorney General, was con-
|irmed.
The injunction ofsecrecy having been re-
moved from the proceedings on these nomi-
nations, Though at too late an hour to per-
INIT US to obtain transcript of them for this
mornings paper,) we shall give them in full

that the vote on the nomination of MIR. STE
vENsoN was. Ayes 90, Noes %; and the
vote on the nomination of MFR. TANEY, Ayes

An attempt is madeto produce the i'm

number. So far from This, we believ'
that as yet the half has rot been told
THAT, though much had been discovered
there is much yet behind. The repor
certainly falls short ofthe truth, instead O.

but less. But, such as it is, its power il

comment, and, since, by the positive sup

fish the Report. We doubt whether the
President of the United States himself, a,

of it. To supply its place, however, he

JERUSALEM, Va. 9Th June, 1884.
Messrs. Editors.-The mail will de-
part from this place to Norfolk in two
h ours, and l hasten to embrace the first
convey ance, that | may give you hasty
sbut awtM description Of a whirlwind that
passed six miles north Of this place on
Wednesday evening the 4th inst. about
Is O'Clock.
Where it first originated, and where il
scessed, l am not able to say at this time
have just returned from witnessing
one of the most sweeping desoations OF
ruin ever known in this section Of country
! Ia the course Of my ride visited three
farms, and it was with the greatest diff.
Guilty that could reach two of them, the
sroad being covered with fallen trees Of all
denominations, torn up by the roots; the
! other farm was more easy of access
\ The first farm was Mr.. Ro. G. Simmons
upon that there is not house left of
@any description, and not one PANEL of
fence left standing upon the whole plan
atation !; he and his family providentially
escaped without bodily hurt, and are now
thrown upon the charity of their good
Ineighbors, wi,hou. second change of
clothing for any of them, it being all TAX.
len by the wind and strung to ribbons.-
The next plantation is MIR. Peter Pierce's
he has but one house left, which is his
dwelling house and that SO much mutila-
tied that it is almost useless. His family
|alI escaped unhurt. The mex. is Mr..
lGilbert Vicks'-his somke house is the
only one left. Mr.. v. his wife and eldest
child barely escaped; OF the youngest
there is no hopes. They made an effort
1 to reach the front door, facing the wind ;
they succeeded in getting out, aud imme-
diately grasping a pine stump near the
door, and while holding on, the eldest
child found its way to them from the midst
of The ruins. The youngest was in the
cradle, and was blown out about 20 yards
from the house, and was found immedi-
ately after the storm, in small hollow
part of the yard, covered with heavy tim.
! Der, its little head cut from one side to the
aother, and so much bruised in other res.
poets that it cannot live. lsaw one of
his beds this morning 100 yards from the
y place where it originally stood. l saw
nothing like furniture left upon the pre-
misses: chairs, tables, and parts of furni.
ture blown entirely out Of the Enclosure in
( the woods. The extent in width is from
i half to one mile, the length we have 40
idea of. The destruction of the best tim
Der is immense hail was seen by the
most respectable inhabitants so large that
you could not get one inside ola pint glass
humber. Additional distressing accounts
arrive hourly; one life ascerlained to be
lost. In haste, respectfully,
