Important Telegraphic Intelligence.

Our telegraphic dispatches, published this morn
ing, are of considerable interest-especially that
relative to the finances of the government.
We cannot, we must say, make head or tail to
the despatch about the necessity of a new loan, but
according TO the figures given, the amount to be
expended from this time, to the Both of June 1852,
il s5S, ,757 is, 10 meet which, shall have the
revenue for only one year, (from June 30, 1851 to
June 30, 1882 which will amount to about $685.
100000 leaving a deficiency, June 3d. 1852, of
about $24 100000, for which new loan will have
TO be made. There may be some mistake in the
figures of our CORE spondent. We shall receive
the particulars by mail to-day.
Our correspondent at Washington, informs us by
telegraph, that the members of Congress who are
opposed TO any further agitation of the slavery
question, during the session, which will commence
to-day, at noon, have agreed upon a line Of policy,
which, if adopted, will no doubt be attended with
the best results. Ii is TO refrain from all agitation
themselves, and TO promptly vote down all PROPOSE
tions 10 disturb the compromise measures. This
is precisely what We have recommended them to
do, and feel confident, that if faithfully followed,
It will silence the fanatics and abolitoniss again,
we learn that Mr. Stevens, of Pennsylvania, will, as
coon as the House is organized, introduce resou-
ton for the repeal of the Fugitive Slave law. Let
him be firmly met by he friends of compromise,
and of the Union, and he will not succeed in his
d sign 10 create ther disturbance in Con-
gress, and additional i'll feeling between the North
and the South.
We are glad TO hear that the triumph of the
Unionists the disunioniss IN Georgia is greater
than we expected. Il appears that one hundred
and forty Union delegates to the convention soon to
assemble in that State, have been elected aud
but twenty four disunionists. Such result speaks
well for Georgia. II we are not mistaken, this is
the first instance of The disunion secession ques
tion having been directly submitted TO the people
Of any Southern State, or that they have been
called upon TO vote upon il 1t is singing rebuke
to South Carolina, the hot-bed Of disunIonism, and
will not be without its effect on the Southern

The Threatened War In Europe.

The steamship Arctic is now in her twelfth day,
and may be expected at any moment, with four
days later news from Europe. The arrival of the
A is looked for with no little interest, as il is
thought that she will bring peace or war news-a
solution of the German question. But as the Arc
tic was to leave Liverpool on the 10th, and the
Prussian Parliament was not to meet in Berlin till
the 2lst ut, it is very likely that we shall remain
in doubt till the arrival of the Asia, Or perhaps,
the America.

The DESTRUCTIVE TORNADO IN THE SOUTH WEST,
AVID Loss OF LrrE.-The Valley of the Mississippi
has been recently the scene OF great destruction
of human life and property, caused by tornado
which occurred there last week, the particulars of
which received by telegraph, we published in yes
terdsys Herald. II one of the most awful visi-
tations Of the kind that has taken place in this
country within great many years. Most of its
force was expended in the neighborhood of the
town OF Cape Girardeau, on the Mississippi river,
short distance from 81. Louis. The damage, as far
as heard from, was the destruction of seventy or
eighty buildings, including several churches, one
convent, the partial loss of two steamboats,, and
are sorry to add, numerous lives. According to the
accounts, il was most fearful visitation The
force of the tornado great as to actually lift
COW from the ground andideposit her on the top of
tree at height sf sixty feet. We fear that we
have heard of only part of the ravages of this
dreadful tornado. II generally happens that these
violent freaks of the wind, traverse distance of
twenty and thirty miles before their force is ex-
pended, leaving ruin and devastation in their track
They have been known to 60 through the woods,

ence, and tearing up by the roots the mighty oak

that several years ago, hatcher and Vicksburg
were visited by tornados, and damaged to much
greater extent than even Cape Girardeau was by
the recent calamity.

commented upon cannot, perhaps, be conuoverted,
ourreaders can form their conclusions about the
result. An exact statementof the deliveries Of cot
ton from Liverpool for consumption, for the fifteen
weeks preceding the departure Of the Europa, makes
the figure OF 353,79O bales. or, only % $50 bales
per week, Of all kinds. As it is perfectly wei
known that the average consumption has been
over $1,000 bales per week, and that only light
stock existed at that date in the District, it be-
comes interesting to find out where they surrepii-
tiousy obtained the difference II, as we surmise,
most Of IL has been distracted from Liverpool,
where the only name Of stock has existed for six
months, we must look for a sudden wild specuii
ton TO break out there, when they are quite salts
fed that the mass Of them have been egregously
humbugged, not by the Yankees ia this city, bat
by noted vireinsn, who is believed to be, in real

experience, residing on the Mississip-
