THE SToRM.-Thc storm of Saturday
seems to have visited the country surround
ing Evansville, with greater severity than il
did the city. A gentleman from the country
informed US yesterday that the wind had Sc
riously injured the corn crops in his Reighbor-
hood, that much timber had been blown down
and several houses slightly injured. The
barn on the farm owned by Mr.. Shanklin,
situated seven miles from Evansville on the
Princeton road, was Frustrated, killing in its
fall four excellent horses belonging to Ger
man who occupies the farm. If this storm
were general one we shall expect to hear
ola considerable loss Of property.

The editor Of the N. y Tribune gives the
following description oil the shameful con-
sumption of time by the present House Of
Representatives Of Cnogress, on the 29th ult;
and that day we presume, was a fair sample
Of most Of the p"yking days Of the present
Congress: t
"T..e Telegraphic Report can give but Il
faint idea OF the atrocious manner in which
the time Of the House was trihed away
Here it sample of IT.: A call of the House
being ordered and one name called under it,
an ultra-Soullren would move Suspension
ofthe Call, and thereupon ask the Yeas and
Nays which thirty ce turty ike him would rise
in support of, and so order The Suspen-
sion Of the Cali being voted down, another
enemy Of California would move an adjourn
ment, which would likewise be voted down !;
and then the Call of the House would pro-
cecd-that Is to s1y one more namc would
be called, when another motion to suspend
the Cal, would be made the pretext for an
other call Of the Yeas and Nays, and then
won follow motion 10 adjourn and the
Yeas and Nays again. and so the day was
fool ID away. A leading D;suniolist has Just
boosted in my hearing that they can have
the Yeas and Nays taken 2jae hundred
times durisg the progress OF IL single Call Of
the House. Such are the means by which a
minority of the House, not fifty OF whom dare
record their names against her on the final
vote, are now keeping California out OF the
Union.'

this whole number hut three ofthe head wait

We have received the bill, making appro-
prations for the improvement OF certain har-
bors and rivers, reported by the Chairman Of
the Committee on Commerce of the House.
1t was reported the 23d Of July: read twice
and committed to The committee OF the whole
House.
The bill makes just and liberal appropria-
lions, and is responsive to the pervading and
lmperious demand of the people-it recog-
nizcs the pressing and superior claims of our
immense inland commercial interest for ma
Ional aid and prOtection-it is the practical
adoption Of the policy which the Wings have
always contended and voted for and which,
oflate years, has beer most unjustly and ru-
inously neglected, opposed and abandoned by,
the LocotOco Administrations.
The Instructions in orr rivers require
removed, and the Harbors upon our
Seas to he preserved and improved
safety and protection oi'the thousa
and millions of property that are d
thereoI--io do this is eminently
work.. and We hope and trust that
fore us will become a LdU at Il
"long session. of Congress. s -
We select from the bill those lite

Menderson and Nashville Railroad.

1Hc DOOkS fOT TIE subscription Oh StOCk 10
this Railroad have been opened at Hender-
son. The Henderson Keniuckian says that
100000 subscription will be required, and
already nearly or quite one-halt of this has
been taken by citizens of that place, and that
at least 5000 will be subscribed altogether
by them. Books will be opened at other
points. and as the Kentuckian says a suffi
Gent amount will doubtless soon be subscribed
to form the Company. When this is done,
things will assume a tangible shape, which
will at once inspire confidence in, and assure
the prosecution Of the undertaking.
We hail this first great step in the building
Of the Henderson and Nashville Railroad
with much satisfaction. No place within our
knowledge will be more benefited by rail
road than Henderson, and the Railroad un-
der consideration is Of more importance to
that town than its citizens generally seem to
be aware, and is Of more Importance in itself
and connections as a public improvements
BY this road Henderson will be brought in
direct connection with Nashville, and obtain
command Of markets in the interior which are
not now opened to her, and Of commerce on
the Tennessee river which che now cannot
share. Nashville must ere n great while be
connected with the s,uthcrn seaboard. Even
now the Ohio and Mobile railroad is aiming
towards the Tennessee river, and n portion
.of il il under contracts There are other
roads in contemplation. which must eventu-
ally, if this Henderson road be built, have
their Ohio phver connection at Henderson,
But we need not speak of the importance Of
Ahis Railroad to Henderson as connecting
link with the South.
Let the citizens Of Henderson and other
places interested look to the North. Their
towns can ultimately be made the thorough
fare at certain seasons Of the year Of much
of the great trade and travel between the
Lakes and the Gulf Whatever advantages
Evansville may expect 70 realize from her
Railroad and her great Canal, Henderson
may anticipate TO share-and the more ex-
tensively will she share these advantages, as
as she herself builds up public improvements
10 draw Commerce into her lap. Bat we
have suggested these things before, and now
only repeat them to invite TO them the at
tention of those interested in the Henderson
and Nashville Railroad. But we are doing
our share, by pushing forward those improve
ments which will tend to give additional iu-
portance 10 the Henderson enterprise. Our
hands are full. Let the citizens of Hender-
son exhibit the same energy, and display the
same zeal and activity in enlisting the assis-
tance of those in the country interested, and
by this feeling, and liberality with their own
capital, they will carry gloriously forward the
present or any other enterprise in which they
may engage.
The Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad,
now nearly finished, will make direct commu-
