SURRy CousTY. We have received from an es-
teened friend highly interesting account of the
discussion between the candidates for Governor at
Mt. Airy, in Surry. We regret that have not
room for it entire. Gen. Dockery said if he had
been in Congress he would have voted with Mr.
Badger and Kerr for the Nebraska Bill; and then
proceeded to justify Puryear and Rogers for voting
against It'll He is as pable and acc mmodating as
the Orange county Feds. Mr. Bragg then asked
Gen. Dockcry if he had read the Bill? Dockery
replied, go on, Sir, go onl" $50 We took it for
granted" adds our correspondent g tina Gen. Docke-
~ knows nothing about the Nebraska Bill and
cares great deal less" Our correspondent adds:
.sI assure you, sir, that the Democracy are in the
best of spirits and that the Wings are emphaticay
down in the mouth" We made Almost fortunate
selection in our standard-bearer. / made his ac-
quaintance yesterday, and can say that he is man
Of decided ability fluent speaker and close logical
reasoner. The Wings are evidently disappointed
in Dockery, and do not think he made a vote by
coming here bu. very probable that he has lost"
Dockery is treating Bragg very ungentemanly in
making the appointments. They travel 80 o. 40
miles every day and speak.-Dockerys object is
evidently to get shut Of him, but this he will not

Charles Reemelin.

The Wdtchmdn is not received at this
office, but friend on Saturday showed
US a copy. in which it is alleged that Mr..
REEMELIN, who holds the office of Bank
Examiner by appointment OF the State
officers, recently addressed Wing meet
ing at Crcleville, in which he took ground
against the Administration and against
the Democratic State ticket, &c.
We had heard OF similar charge be.
fore, and happened TO meet MIR. REEMELIN.
a day or two subsequent to the Circle
vile meeting, in this city, and called his
attention to the statements we had heard.
Mr.. r. informed US that he did attend a
public meeting, after urgent solicitation.
which was got up by men hostile to the
Nebraska bill; but that he said little else.
except by way of apology Tor not making
a speech; and that he did not utter a
word or syllable which would afford any
consolation to the opponents Of the Ad-
,ninistration. or of the Democratic State
or Congressional tickets. As to the Ne
braska bill. he assured US that he had
uniformly stated, publicly and privately,
tha, he was opposed to the restoration OF
the Missouri Compromise; and hence could
have no sympathy with the Fusionists
who make repeal their battle.cry. He
iurther assured us that he had heretofore,
and should continue to support the Dem.
ocratic State ticket.
This is all we know Of the matter
And now we would inquire Of our friend
Of the Watchman whether he heard that
speech? And il not, whether he may moi
have been misinformed?
As 20 the appointment Mr.. REEMELlN
holds fromthe State officers, il. can hardly
be considered one OF honor or profit.
His qualifications for the discharge OF the
duties Of that position will be questioned
by no one; and we should not suppose
the State officers would be justified in the
removal OF Mr.. R. unless the charges
against him can be clearly established

forth before the people she looked about
with face full Of wonder. which was
heightened by the shouts of gratitude that
went up from the assembled multitude in
praise to her noble dehverer. and thanks
giving that one father and mothers heart
was not made desoIate by the untimely
death Of their little one.
We noticed q young wife hurrying with
distracted steps through the crowd, rend-
ing the air with her agonizng shrieks, seek
ing her husband. who she thought was
buried in the ruins. The husband was
also seeking his wife. Hearing her cries.
he made his way to her side, and with a
shrill cry of joy she rushed into his arms
exclaiming, ''thank God you are safe!"
All responded hearty amen, in thanks.

each others arms. Pages would not serve
to give all the incidents of this melancho
ly scene. with so few enlvening features
to relieve its terrors, and we can only sup
plicate that Almighty Power which directs
all his visitations in unerring wisdom, TO
support and comfort the bereaved in their
great affliction.
Mr.. Browning. a prominent and active
member of church, who was in attendance
with his two daughters. escaped with a
broken leg. His daughters slightly in.
jured.
Dr. Robinson, who was in his buggy
riding into the city, at the lower end OF
Market street. at the time OF the storm.
narrowly escaped death from falling
tree. The tree, as it fell across the road
with a tremendous crash. jus, grazed the
curtain at the back OF his buggy. His
horse was so frightened that it stopped as
| if paralized, and made no effort to avoid
the danger.
We heard that small child in the low.
er part Of the city, was caught in the
storm. and blown away, but whether it was
subsequently found or not, we did not
learn.
While the worshippers at the Cathedral,
on Fifth street were at their devotions. the
edge Of the storm swept by the front door
and main aisle. and the people we're blown
about, and actually forced from their feel
in the utmost confusion.
The building Of HE Walnut street Bap

some fifteen minutes afterwards several
panes Of glass in one of the north window
cracked. evidently caused by the settling
OF the walls.

!. Twelve O'Clock, August 9Th, will long
be remembered as terrible epoch in the
history of Louisville.
4 With that hour death came TO many
persons assembled in the house OF God,
engaged in worship. and destruction to a
vast amount Of property in the city.
One of the most violent storms which
has ever swept over this section of Ken
lucky left its dreadful footprints in the city
yesterday. After severe drought OF
many weeks duration, the sky, early in
the day indicated rain. The clouds gath

in reach oi the tornado would call thun.
der shower. But within reach Of its sweep
ing breath was the Third Presbyterian
Church, corner of Eleventh aud Walnu,

blowing from westwardly direction, the
entire building fell in. roofs. rafters, brick
walls and all. crushing some twenty Of the
congregation to instant death. and wound.
ing seriously, or perhaps MORALLY. some
ten or twelve others. The scene is de.
sctibed as most heart rending. Soon a
large crowd assembled. aud began their
search after the victims. A mother and
her three children were grouped in death;
another presented father. mother and
babe-the father dead and the mother
mortnlly wounded. while their little child.
placed beneath them. escaped unhurt, pro.
.ected by the forms of its parents. In
other instances some of the victims were
found terribly bruised and manned. The
catastrophe has stricken consternstion
into the very heart OF the city, and It's Peo'
pie are appalled, beyond belief.
AT the time the accident occurred, there
were some 80 persons in the church. abou,
40 Of whom it is thought. were buried in

dead bodies had been found. The rub.

The Convention.

The Convention at Barnesville WAS at
tended by = large number OF delegates
from the several counties composing this
Congressional District. and passed of
with perfect good feeling among all con.
cerned excepting. perhaps. Mr.. Lawrence,
OF Guernsey, who left the Convention be-
fore the passage OF the resolutions report.
ed by the Committee.
The object OF Mr.. Lawrence is easily
seen through. His name hsd been an
nounced as subject to the decision Of that
Convention; bnt finding. when he came
to Barnesville, that his nomination was
doubtful. he determined. as we believe. to
be candidate at any rate. He. therefore.
very strongly urged upon the Convention
the propriety OF adopting platform ofprin
ciples. believing. no doubt, that If any res
olutions were passed, they would take
ground in favor OF the principles of the
Nebraska bill, and il so he would claim
that, as an opponent Of that bill. he could
not consistently submit his claims 10 the
Convention. Such resolutions were re.
ported, and we then supposed that Mr.
Lawrence, and his friends in Convention.
would atleast, place themselves right upon
the record by voting against them. Blu,
they did not wait ill the vote was taken.
So that he is left without the honorable ex.
cuse Of claiming that the Convention had
adopted platform upon which he could
not stand, as mono had been adopted when
he withdrew. We are, therefore. COMPEL
ed to come to the conclusion that Mr.
Lawrence desired to 60 over. body and
soul. to the Fusionists; AZ he declared, be-
fore leaving the Convention, that from tha,
time until the Second Tuesday Of October.
he was an independent, Anti Nebraska a
candidate for Congress.
