DREADFUL TORNADO AT NATCHZE.

This devoted city is now mourning over, and
groanng under, one of the most dreadful casual
ties, by which any city ever visited. On
the 7th inst, tornado such as cannot be describ-
ed, passed over the city, laying it waste
Houses were blown down, trees uprooted, boats
in the river sunk, and lives, Gncluding that of
Judge Keeton,) to the number of probably Ave
hundred, lost. Property to the amount of nearly
two millions is said to have been DESTROYED
"Natchez under the Hill," is entirely desoa-
ted, with the exception Of five or six buildings
and on ''the hill" the two large hotels and three
churches are the most prominent buildings de-
stroyed, though scarcely house escaped injury.
We cannot even give outline of the vast
damage done. The tornado passed along, and
in its course destruction was visible. Such NOR
taity and waste of property, probably was never
known before, caused by the agency. The
citizens by the aid of the slaves of the neighbor-
ing planters, are busIy engaged in burying the
dead, iii digging from the ruins the killed and
dying, the wounded and disconsolate, the widow
and the orphan, the houseless and the ruined.
The Natchez Courier well remarks, 8" IF ever a
community deserved the sympathy of the coun-
try, and the bounty of the Government, it is
desoated, ruined Natchez."

THE GREAT ARCTIC PROBLEM SOLVED

The long mooted geographical problem o;
a Northwestern passage to the Pacific Ocean
from the Atlantic is at length solved l. there i>
such u passage. The honor ofthis discovery
belongs to Messrs Dcase & Simpson, of the
Hudsons Bay Company. In 1887, and again
in 1885, they attempted to complete the ex-
ploration of the north shore of this Continent
bydescending Coppermine, which e,npties into
the Arctic Ocean, in longitude about 10 west,
and from its mouth proceeding eastward until
they should arrive at the westernmost point
reached by explorers from the Atlantic. In
both years they skirted alonga great extent OF
coast, though much mpeded by rce, but failed
TO accomplish the grand object of their pur.
suit, Now, at length, their perseverance has
been rewarded They have ascertaned the
Boothia is all island, and that it is separated
from the main land by a strait from three to
ten miles wide, which connects the Gulf OF
Boothia, (partially explored by the Fury and
Hecla) with the Arctic Ocean in about latitude
is 33, and longitude gS 10. The entire pas,
sage from the mouth of Coppermine river to
the Atlantic, (eStendingnear 90 degrees ofoll
gitude) lies to the southward of latitude Co.

saccuHb To foreigners, and lick the hands Of their
Toes, for the mere gain of few votes--too cor
rupt and fcke TO be of lasting avail to any party!
Should they not rather throw OF the chains that
bind our country to the partzan car, and here,
under the broad folds Of our floating flags, proudly
fling to the breeze the Conservative Coors of our
Association, and cause them, like the branches Of
the oak, to spread over and shade the weary and
almost exhausted members of our great family
making safe hatbor to the shpwrecked of all
parties! Is not this the hour, and here the spot
the choice and pride of our beloved w Washington
to start and give impetus to the great ball, that
shall continue to roll, and gather in its progress
like the ball of snow, and be even as pure as is
that OF the driven? Now, even nows while poll
tlclans are stranng every nerve even to breaking,
in the great struggle, is the time when the pure
motives of our Association should be brought into
iull view before the American people, and then
indeed would our cause move trumphanty on.
We say, then, let the CONSERVATIVE REPEAL
PARTY come out boldly and fearlessy; and here
let us plant the banner of our Association firm;
in opposition to foreigners let us work without
taltering; from the political corruptions of the
day let us stand aloof; and to our principles let
us adhere rupuIous!y-then, and not till them
will our cause prosper.
But, If we canno, persuade our friends to throw
of all party allegiance let US eatreat them to take
their soundings, before our bark is dashed to
pieces. Cast not off tried, good and faithful SER
wants, for those who have opposed our Associa-
uon from its start; or who, if they have not OPP
posed it, have not belonged to it--and "those
who are not with us against u.s." Look to it
well, fellow citizens that you are not now lorg-
ing the letters that shall bind your reeborn spirits
IN the dust Then arouse; cast the opium Of
politics behind, and grasp at the wholesome meat
that is before.
We fear we say but little to cheer our friend
at this time. All we can recommend to him is,
to have the great qualification of Job near at hand,
and TO put it into requisition often. We do not
believe much advance will be made in our cause
here, until after the present contest. But, then,
our beautiful foundation, which is the beginning
|of an impregnable citadel, will be resumed and
finished and become the admired of every lover
of his country All we can do now, is, to hold
fast to our faith, continue to fight the good fight,
and in the end the victory shall be ours. We
refer our readers to the communication in pre-
vious column.

The MARINE BAND.-In taking stroll through

The MARINE BAND.-In taking stroll through
tho enchanting grounds Of the Capitol on satur-
day evening last the beauty of the place was
envened by the sweet strains of this much adj
mired band. Not knowing that we should thus
be doubly repaid for our walk, the treat was in
deed one great good to our spirits, after the ia
tigues of warm, suluy day. Nothing, we believe,
in the country, is comparable to the grounds
around the Capitol for beauty, as place of re-
sort in the afernooon; but when visited by this
band, the whole may be compared to "Paradise
Regained." We understand they will ''discourse
music" on Tuesday and Saturday afternoon Of
each week, during the season.

THE MUSEUM ATTRACTION.

THE MESkEM--GkEAT ATTRACTION.
On Thursday last, we paid visit to this house,
and was much gratifed with the novelty of the
scene presented. Resides the curiosities which
Mr.. Warden has under his own immediate cate,
and OF which he is the nurse, we found two other
extraordinary, rare, and scarce articles, very at
tractive, and well worthy the attention of the Gu
rious, under the guardianship of gentleman,
very attentive and accommodating, by the name Of
Mr.. Prize.
After passing into the bsautiful Saloon above the
Museum, which is adorned by Mr.. Annelli's s
splendid paintings. the first object that caught
our attention, was the Albino Lady, Miss G. s.
Shore who is, in form and feature like others OF
her sex, perfect. Her hair is white as the driven
snow, and like aossy silk in rngets, falls giace-
fully over her neck and shoulders. which OF
an Alabaster whiteness. Her eyes are prisma-
tic, of varlegated pink, changing their position
every moment; there is nothing in her appearance
that would be considered unpleasant to the most
fasdous of her sex. She is .wenty-one years
of age, and in perfect health.
We were then introduced to his high-ness Mr..
J. O'Clancy, the Irish Giant, who is stwenty-nine
years of age; stands seven feet two, inches in
height; and who came from the county Of Wick
low, in Ireland. His manly form, his frank and
open countenancc, connected with his intelligence,
or mother w.t. render him one of the most in
terestng, tail, and best proportioned men we
h.,,n ~ E,,1y Ef,e;, n,
performed on a new instrument, called the Setter;
and Miss Shore favored the company with sever
al very beautiful and we'll selected airs.
The whole bill now presented to the audience
ny the enterprise of Mr., Warden, is such one
as is seldom brought before Washington pubiic,
and is we'll worthy their most liberal PATRONAGE
not only for Mr.. Varden's sake, but for the ex-
traordnary objects presented. The handsome
flowing white hair of the Albno lady, is bn,
exceled by her beautiful manners and easy ad-
dress; and the high -mindedness Of the Irish Iii
ant, is only equalIed by his good understanding
and easy conception Of tall matters. We have,
heretofore, considered oursef tolerably fair
specimen OF Il nla,l-excuse lis, reader--but when
we attempted tIptoe, to put our hand upon the
top Of Mr.. O'Cancy's head, we began to think
we were but poor specimen; for with con.
siderable stretch, we could not reach it, But it
is really worth the price Of admission to handle
the glossy hair of the Albino lady. We there
fore advise all our friends to call at the Museum
and see for themselves They, (he Lady, Giant,
and Setter player.) remain only until Thursday
next. The admittance to the whole house is but
fifty cents, and we hope the Museum will be we'll
patronized, at least during their stay. IF Mr..
Warden receives that encouragement for the pres
ent engagements he is entitled to, he will, no
doubt, continue obring forward attractions which
will please the most fastidlous.

MuRDER.--N most diabolical murder was
perperated few days since, near the Point of
Rocks, ut the dead hour Of night, by Ger
man emigrant, upon the persons Of widow
woman named Davis and her child who were
living with her brother Mrs. d. slept in the
lower apartment OF the house, where the mur-
derer had secreted himself IN the early part
of the night. About IL o'clock those Of the
family who lodged in the room above hearing
Il great noise Of distress, arose to ascertain the
cause. Upon entering the room, q most dis
tressing spectacle presented itself. The child,
la little boy about eleven years Of age--lay
we terlng in its gore and its brains scattered
about the floor The mother Law besd. her
child, almost lleess corpse, bruised and
mangle in a shocking manner from blows
inflicted with q club. We have since learned
rnat the murderer has been lodged Ia the pr-
son at Frederick TO await his trial at the next
county court. He does not, we learn, deny
the charges brought against him. but wishes
to Justify the daboical murder with the plea
that hunger drove him to- its comnital. He
stated that he had not recevelany food what
ever for three days previous. 1t is supposed
that he was under the impression that toll
was received at the house, and fromthe great
number o(boats passing that large quantity
of money had been collected. Rockville Free
Press.
The above is another specimen Of the "bet
ter citizens" imported aud exported to this
country. A statistical account of the murders
committed by foreigners, for " iilAly lucre,"
would speak daggers and bIudgons against the
Laws Of Naturalization. Perhaps if the Amer
lean Peo pie will not be reasoned into their
senses, they may be Whipt into them. We
hope, though, they may see the errors Of their
way, and amend.
