TENNESSEE -. The President is election
ccring in Tennessee but he finds that the
word OF Cw ar can no longer stand against
the world, The Tcnncssccans say that
hey can elect their own Chief Magistrate
wi hout either the aid of Ruckor Caucus
or Of Presidential dcation. Dinners in
honor of Judge White and Mr. Bell have
been rendered throughout the State. 1t is
quite melancholy to see Gen Jackson raw
ing against his old friends with all the i'm,
beclllly of dotago and the faulty Of passion.
He can never regain the influence he once
welded in Tennessee. His own State has
completely deserted him, and with all his
ceclioncerng efforts lie cannot hand her
over to bis favorite successor.

AN AVALANCHE. We are indebted, says
the Lycom,ng Free Press, to the policncss
Of an Intelligent and respectable friend of
ours for the following particulars of an av.
aapche which recently occurred on the
Alleghanies
"On the Goth June, during a terrible
thunder storm on Lycomng creek. in this
county, near the residence Of Mr.. William
King, at the instant of an electrical shock,
the clouds discharged column of water
upon the face Of the mountain, about 700
above its base; which brought down rocks,
mud, trees, &C., and uncovered three strata
OF iron ore at IT'S out crop. The ANGLE of
the mountain is As to SO degrees.
"Mr Kings son was looking in the di.
rec'ion oflhe mountain at the time. He
says Instantly upon vertical flash of light.
n'ng the wafer spouted up from the face of
the mountain 100 to 200 feet high. No
doubt 1t appeared so to him. But It is rea.
sonabc to suppose that it vi as a column of
water discharged from he clouds.
Rocks measuring from one to fifteen
cubic yards were torn from their beds and
swept INCREASINGLY down the side of the
mountain, carrying trees three feet in di.
ameter, and every thing which DISTRACTED
their path, before them, making a ravine
IN the side of the mountain of 60 to 100
leet IN width, and 10 to 90 in Depth"

RIOT IN CINcISNATI.--Ther was riot
in Cincinnati on Saturday night, July 30th.
A large concourse of people assembled,
when a president and Secretary were ap.
pointed, and resolutions passed to 90 forth
with to Mr. Birney, an Aboltionist's office,
and destroy The press, &c. They accor
dinghy commenced operations by breaking
and tearing every thing to piecies, in the Sc
cond and third story of The building, stove
all the windows out, and scattered HE pa
pers and books, in The street, and burned a
number ofthem. The next movement was
TO heave out The press, at which a most
tremendous shout was raised; and hitching
a rope to It, they hauled it to The river.
broke it 10 pieces, and threw it 10 the bot.
tom. They then destroyed some negro
houses-but the Mayor threatening to order
the police tG shoot the first man who made
further disturbance, the mob dispersed aud
and the city became quiet.
More No6 Spirit.-On Sunday night last
large lumber of persons were congregat-
ed IN front ofthe Frauklln House, on Main
street, near Fourth, nnder the impression
that James G. Birney was secreted in the
house. They demanded search, and n
ed, who after examining every room in the
house reported that he was not there. The
assembage was then addressed by our
worthy Mayor, who urged upon them the
proprie,y and necessity of their dispensing
aud going home, which they accordingly did,
The town has been quiet and orderly
ever since.
That portion of the mob which assailed
the negro houses on Saturday night was
chiefly composed of boys and quiet young
men. One of the houses which was most
injured, the swamp, was a grocery or
drinking shop, kept by black person. -
Every thing in the shop was destroyed,
and the house was much mutllated. They
were more incenscd against this tenement
than any other, because Of belief existing
among them that it was from il that the
gun had been fred
1t is a subject Of general surprise and
iellcltatlon among our citizens, that SO large
a mob, after becoming excited, and after
having one OF their number severely shot
did Not commit more violence and proceed
to greater extremes than they did Inde-
pendently OF The strong and universal op
position that our citizens have to mobs OF
all kinds, and the great modification and
regret entertained that one should have
occurred among us. few seem to feel dis,
satisfied with the result, or the slightes,
sympathy for the sufferers. 1t is possible
! that IN one or two instances decent and
well behaved black families may have
shared in the injuries inflicted, but in all
such cases, If there were any, we believe
them to have been the result of accident
and by no means within the design of the
mob.-The Rioters seem only to have aim
ed at the profl'gate. But, however gooc
their intentions may have been, their course
was illegal, full of danger, and destructive
of good order, and therefore deserves the
loud apprehension of every good citizen =
We sincerely hope that Cincinnati will b.
dlsgraced by no more mobs.-- Cmcinnat
