The Wind

Monday night, 18th inst, we were
visited by the heaviest wind of the
season, doing considerable damage in
some parts of the county. Below
here, and in the vicinity Of Peters
burg timber and fences were prostra-
ted. and some out-houses were blown
down, and few dwellings were I'M
rooted. La the lower end of this coun-
ty.near the Giles line,we understand
negro woman and child were killed
The wind appears to have been very.
general. In Florence, Ala, several
dwellings, together with the bridge
across the Tennessee river, were
blown down. In Giles county, much
damage done. The Nashville and
Chattanooga Railroad was obstrueted
hy fallen timber, below Wartrace.
causing the locomotive and tender OF
the express train to run oil, seriously
manning the engineer and two other
employees Of the road. Fortunate
ly. the passengers escaped uninjured.
But in Nashville, and Davidson coun-
~, it appears to have ragged the
fiercest. The Daily Gazette says:
The State Capitol has sustained
injury to the probable amount OF
$4,000. Various opinions are en-
iertained as to the cause OF this
building being unroofed. Judging
from The appearance of the copper,
it is highly probable twas first struck
with lightning On examination, we
found considerable quantity OF
melted rosin on various portions oil
ahe roof. The clustering throughout
the whole building has been more or
less damaged.
The First Presbyterian Church
sustained extensive injury. The
roof was covered with tin, which was
swept entirely of. The ceiling was
saturated with rain, and the house
leaking in all parts. From the wet
condition of the carpets on the up.

a large three story brick house, in

On the opposite side OF the rive
the hurricane was equally as bad.

Circus

Circus
We see bills stuck up about town,
for a Circus, to exhibit here in two
or three weeks. From all that we
can learn, it is small concern, and
we advise our friends to stay away
from it. Times are hard, very hard,
and fifty cents are better saved than
lost. Again we say, stay away, and
save YOUR money.

ACCEPTANCE OF Mr.. CURRIN.

1t is with peculiar pleasure that We this morning
lay before our readers the suboned correspondence
from which, it will be seen that Mr. Currn accepts
the position assigned him in this years political
contest by the Democracy Of the. 10th Congress
sional District. We feel, with such q standard
bearer, that the Democracy of this District occupv
their true and natural position among the gallant
and unconquerable Democracy of the Southern
States, that their eagles will be guided and upheld
with frmness which will secure them against the
possibility OF detrment, and should our ticket be
successful that their principles will be maintained
against the most formidable odds, and the most Sc
ductive and tempting beguments that are ever
brought to bear, TO strike down the virtue and in
tegrity of public men at Washington Reposing
this undoubtng confidence i'll the character and
abilities of our nominee, we congratulate the de-
mocracy Of the district on the union, harmony and
enthusiasm with which they were animated in
making the selection, and upon the prompt and
satisfactory response which has crowned their

How THE EMPRESS EuGEsrA WEARS HER BONN

How THE EMPRESS EUGENIA WEARS HER BoNNkT.
The London Morning Post was very great, du-
ring the late Imperial visit upon matters of Dress
and is regarded as high authority upon all que.-
tons connected with that important subject. This
journal says:
an regard to the much-mooted question as to
whether bonnet should be worn on the head or
off it, it may not be amiss to take advantage of the
actual presence OF her Imperial Majesty who is said
to have introduced this popular feminine eccentri-
city, to place on record that, although the bonnet
of the Empress Eugenie displays fully her face and
hair it does not convey to the behoder the idea of
its being likely to fall from the head behind but
rather seems to cling to and support the hair in that
position. This gives lghtness and grace of car
rage to the head totally distinct from that bodness
and barefacedness which have characterised the
English adoption of the French Imperial fash
ion"

REPORTS ON THE SrocK EXCHANGE. Extract from

REPoRTs ON THE SroCK Observation-Disclosures from
the London Times money article of April %:
"This has been an exceedingly dull and anxious
day in the city, since, owing to the fact Of no INTEL
lgence from SebastopoI having TRANSFERRED although
the Government are known TO possess the means of
direct communication, variety of adverse rumos
have been circulated with considerable effect Con-
soils first quoted at the closing prices of last
evening-narneIy, SO to I, from which they de-
cned until there were sellers at 883 the unfavora-
Die reports of the spectators, which included the
loss of line oi-battle ship and the abandonment Of
the bombardment before Sevastopo, being aided by
a statement that Lord Panmure intends TO resign
his post as War Minister. A sudden rise in the
corn market, in consequence of the continued abb
sence of rain and the diminished expectations Of
peace, likewise operated badly. The gloomy ten
dency, however, was partially arrested by better
prices from Paris consequent upon the journey of
the Emperor to the Crmes having been postponed
or abandoned, and beliefin some quarters that
Austria will yet act openly; and the last transac-
tons were at $50 to for both money and &C.
