Richard l.. Mackall, esq, has been promoted to
the situation Of chief clerk in the office of the Fourth
Auditor Of the Treasury, which was made vacant
on the lst instant by the resignation of Thomas H.
Gilliss, esq.
MIR. Gilliss was appointed principal clerk in the
office of the Accountant of the Navy upon its es-
tablishmcnt in 1898. When, in the year 1917, that
office was abolished, and the accounts Of the navy
directed to be settled in the Treasury Depart
ment, by officer constituted for that purpose, to
be called the Fourth Auditor of the Treasury, Mr.
Gilliss made the chief clerk in the new Office
and continued to hold the same place until his re-
cent withdrawal from the public service in
quence of his great age, which it is understood
siderably exceeds fourscore years Less than two
months more would have completed the fifty-sec-
ond year OF his first appointments and the substi
tuition from the Office of Fourth Auditor OF the Trea.
sury for that Of Accountant of the Navy in fact
but the transfer of the duties from one depart
ment to another, he may be said to have filled the
same place during the whole period just mentioned.
1t is believed that other person since the foun-
dation Of the Government has been SO long contin-
uously in office; and it may be confidently said
that no individual has remained so many years in
one office. For more than half II century he has
been faithful public servant and all who know
him will invoke peaceful close to 80 long and

Great storm and Uurricsn. ON the Missis-
slppI aud Mlssonri.

The st. Louis Republican gives account OF a
violent storm ON the western rivers which in some
places amounted 10 hurricane, and did great
damage. IL says: We have direct information
from the interior counties, but the country border
ing on the Illinois, Upper Mississippi and Missouri
rivers, suffered more or lcss. Boats in yesterday
from Lasallc, the Illinois, bring intelligence OF
fearful hurricane having passed over the country
in the vicinity of Pekin, and IL was rumorcd that
great injury had been done TO the growing wheat
crops
The steamer Mayh No. 2, lying at the landing,
was blown from her position, and carried by the
wind nearly three miles up the river. She fast
cned TO the wharf boat, and had large barge
alongside, both of which she took in tow, and the
former, doubtless saved the steamer from being
capsizcd Many wheat felds in that vicinity were
entirely FRUSTRATED
The blow felt along the entire river from
Pekin TO the mouth, but more severely in some
places than in others, aud IL will he several days
before any thing like estimate can be formed OF
the amount of damage done number Of out.
houses, fences, trees, Re, were blown down, but
Tar a. can be ascer tanned no lives were lost.
On the Upper Mississippi, below the Rapids, the
came storm experienced, but il is supposed to
have been less disastrous than on the Illinois, but
has done, doubt considerable injury TO the farms
on both sides of the river.
The officers Of the Julia, down yesterday from
St Joseph, report heavy wind at Liberty the
same day, and from thence to Brunswick; and
below, the farming interests suffered severe
ly. Ten miles below Liberty Landing, trees were
blown up by the roots, and the country on both
sides Of the river bore evident marks OF the hurri-
cane.

The regular passenger and mail train on the
Central Railroad came up TO the depot in this place
for the first time on Tbursdsy, and was welcomed
by largo concourse Of the citizens Of the town
and vicinity.
We mentioned last week that the Iron briggs
over the Rivsnna river and Moorc's creek bad
been thoroughly tested. We are indebted to the
Je6ersonion for the following particulars of their
construction:
"Tbesc bridges manufactured by the Iron
Bridge Company OF New York city, and were put
up by their agent, Mr.. NJ. NJ. White; the one over
the Rivanpa river is two hundred feet long and
forty feet high; that Moorc's creek IL three
hundred and 6fty.four feet long and sixty feet
high and the longest iron bridges erected in
the country; the spans on the Rivanna bridge are
ninety feet long, Moorc's creek eighty
feet, and are longer than the spans of any bridge
ever built in the United States, except wire sus-
pension bridges. The iron Of which these bridges
we're manufactured is triple refined English IRON
and the cast iron from Salisbury, Connecticut,
every piece Of il being separately tested by four
teen tons weight before IL was accepted. The Ri
wanna bridge rests upon three massive stone pill
lars, and the Moore's creek upon five; the whole
work IL beautifully constructed, and reflects credit
upon all concerned.
'sTbe Harlem railroad has an iron bridge which
has been erected three years; the Lowell railroad
and the New York and Eric railroads ALEC have
iron bridges erected, of the same class with those
over the Rivanns river and Moore's creek"

tbs MOVEMENT in New Mexico" says
the Union Of yesterday, g is calculated to ex-
cite the strongest Indignation in the country.
That a mere military officer" it adds, ''should
dare to interfere in the formation of State
constitution is too great an outrage to be ad-
mitted."
Ii was not "a mere military officer" that
Colonel Monroe took any step in g the move
ment in New Mexico" In the exercise of the
civil functions pertaining to his position as
Governor of New Mexico for the time being,
he did, in obedience to the will Of the people,
expressed by such means as they could avail
themselves of, recommend the election of dele
gates to convention To frame a constitution
preparatory To an application for the admission
of the Territory into the Union as State.
That the nitiatory movement towards this step
came from the people is indicated by the fol-
lowing resolutions, which are published by the
Union as having been adopted by meeting
held at Santa Fe on the Goth of April last:
l. Resolcsd, That in view of our present situation
and prospects, we deem il to be not only right
but interest and imperative duty, freenen
and American citizens. to form, as soon pract-
cable, State constitutions republican in its char
acer and Agreeable to that Of the United States,
and to ask boldly of Congress for the admission into
the Union of States, and ON an equal footing with
that enjoyed by every other State.
2. Resolred, That we are intimately persuaded
seven cighths of the citizens of New Mexico are,
like ourselves in favor Of the immediate adoption
of republican constitution and State form of gov
ernment, and utterly repugnant to the claim or ju-
risdicton Of the State of Texas.
8. Received, That Colonel John Monroe, our civil
and military governor, 10 hereby respectfully re-
quested to issue his proclamation, calling upon the
citizens of New Mexico to meet at some fxed time,
within ten days thereafter, within their respective
districts and precincts, designated by the Kear-
NY code, there to elect members TO a convention,

Counties.

If the Union should ask for the authority by
military functions in New Mexico, we might
refer it for answer to the gentlemen, any
one or all Of them, who composed the Cabinet
Of Mr.. Polk, under whose administration those
functions were united in the persons of com
mandants in the acquired territories. We do
not charge the late administration with having
established that system of government in the
Territories out of choice or with any design Of
continuing it. But the omission by Congress
to form territorial governments rendered a con-
tinuation of the system ndispensably neces-
sary. The alternative was that or none. 1t
was temporary expedient awaiting subst-
tute at the hands Of Congress-
That Colonel MONROE, exercising by the
necessity of his position the functions of civil
as well as military Governor of New Mexico,
should show respect to the wishes of the peo-
pie in matter of municipal concen--surely
that does not seem to be deserving of reproach
from any quarter. The point then, of the
Union's censure must be, that he ''should dare
To interfere in the formation of State consfitu-
ton" But is it State constitution which the
people of New Mexico have framed, if they
have framed any new system of political organ
izationl 1t may be called constitution pro-
spectively framed for political community,
that may become State when Congress shall
declare it to be so; but until the present NOV e.
ment shall be thus sanctioned, it remains in
complete and preliminary. Will not the Union
admit thisl When the people of New Mexico
on two former occasions applied, with the con-
currence of their present local government, for
Il territorial government to be given them, was
there any thing improper in that application,
either on their part, or the part of their tenn
porary official headl The Union will not say
that there was. Well, if it was right and proper
for them to apply for territorial government
to be given them by Congress, how can it be
wrong or improper for them now, since they
could not obtain their first request twice re-
peated, to apply for permission to have State
government In both cases they confne them
selves to applications to Congress, and do not
propose to go beyond applications, so far as we
can learn.
ne Union CANNOT condeinh then lof lils
step. "When Congress neglccts to provide a
government for territory" says that Journal,
whose language on this point we have once be-
fore quoted with approval, eve are not pre-
pared 10 say that the PEOPLE may not, Of their
o,cn voluntary ,oiu, establish provisional gov
ernment-and such must be the character Of a
State government in form, before it is assented
TO by the Congress Of the United States"
Now with this admission on the part of the
Union, what controversy remainsl We main
tain nothing which it has not conceded, direct
ly or by implication.
