CANT, and tyrapnical Government ne

which we i've"
So says an eloquent correspondent
Of the South Carolinian and Is it not
wonderful that men can persuade them.

that the National Government is lust
so far from being tyrannical and op-
pressiye that we hardly feel its opera

read the newspapers. want 10 buy
piece Of public land. or the census man
or the Presidential or Congressional
elections come round, we arc reminded

tor these things never would think Of
the Government at all. A little dose
Of even French Republicanism would be
good for men who talkin this silly style

would effect perfect cure. When
men desire to kick up fuss and can't
lind a reason. but are forced to draw
upon their fancies. it is astonishing
what drafts they viii sign.

wind roared and blew with fearful violence
perfect hurricane, amidst which could be heard
the shrieks Of women and The screams Of chill
dren. falling houses, crumbling walls, timbers
dashing against timhers, mingled with peals Of
thunder; and the air was alive with electricity,
followed by rain IN torrents, and an impenetra-
bic darkness, while still from every quarter
came agOrising cries for assistance. Truly, it
was terrible scenei The heart sickens at the
recollection.
The tornado came from the southwest. The
streets are almost entirely blocked with con-
fused mass of timbers, and not uafrequenily the
whole wreck Of large houses was thrown and
strewn for hundreds of yards.
The following is hasty summary:
The Presbyterian Church, Cumberland Pres
oyierian Church, market house, StoDebreaker's
anyard, and all the buildings around were total
y destroyed.
Twenty five dwelling houses and stores were
Utterly destroyed, and number of others seri-
'usly damaged.
The above is only partial and hasty. Imagine
bosom sweeping everything before it-houses,
rees, fences, rails. planks, &c.--and you have
ven then failed TO realize the full extent Of the
lavOc. But The saddest scene Of all was TO wit
less the human sufferings. Scarcely could yon
meet citizen that was not bruised or maimed.

of elcquence as followed. His character
for high talents and for bold, unshrinking
courage was established, and during the
remainder of the session he ranked amongst
the ablest members of the body.
At the close of the session he returned 10
his shop, and there remained pursuing his
trade and gathering fresh knowledge from
books for several years, when the people
again required his services in the upper
branch of the Legislature. By this time
he had made himself one Of the best inform
ed men in the senate, and during the ses-
sion he stood in the front rank of that body.
He was next called by the popular voice to
Congress, snd fer the last six years he has
adorned seat in that body. This is brief
history of the rise ofone Of the most remark
able men in our State, ard his example de-
serves to be held up as beautiful comment
ary upon our flee institutions, and as an
encouragement to other young men in
destitute circumstances.
