TERRIBLE ToRNADo.-On Friday afternoon
the Oath ult. destructive tornado passed over
the Northern portion of Schuyler county, Hi
nos, and in its course completely Frustrated
the foursshiug village of Littlenon. The
place contained over hundred houses besides
barns and clubhouse, all of which were de-
stroyed or so much damaged as to be useless
Among others, there were two churches, one
wood and the other brick edifce. Some
idea of the force of the gale may be obtained
from the fact that of the walls of the brick
church no part was left standing which ex-
ceeded four feet in height. Strange as it may
seem, but four persons were seriously hurt
an0 no one killed. The man who was most
seriously hurt was in fair way to recover
when last heard from.
Beds, bedding, clothing, provisions, every
thing was scattered to the four winds.

ANOTHER FAST MANA firm in New York
under the name of Wright and Brothers COL
lapsed few days since after brief existence
of three months, with debt of an indefinite
amount, ard with two travelling trunks, a
dozen shirts and about half dozen new and
partially worn suits of gentlemen's wearing
apparel, for assets which, it is said, will pay
such an inhntismal per cent on their debts
that they have not yet found any process in
fractions by which to make the calculation.
The history of the fast concern, reveals the
facilities of getting credits by man of inan-
cial genius:
This Thomas P. Wright was for some time
book keeper in the highly respectable house
of John Higgins & Co., of this city, the Sc
nior member Of which is now our Consul to
Belfast, Ireland. So well and ably did he per-
form his duties in this capacity, that he won
the esteem of his employers, and their conf
dence to such an extent, that, during the alb
sance of the firm, in 1854-5, in Europe, he
held their Power of Attorney.
OF this power he availed himself. By pledg-
| ing the firm, whose interests were intrusted
to his care, he obtained credit upon the
firms bankers at Glasgow, for $4,000, with
which sum he went to Europe, representing
himself as the exclusive owner of this sum-
/ to make arrangements for continuing the firm
with this supposed additional capital, and he
| to be partner. He took with him letters o
introduction from some Wall street bankers
and these he used to forward his designs. He
also represented himself to be millionaire
and played all his parts so plausbly, that he
finally succeeded in buying the firm out with
their own assets.
The property then turned over to him
amounted to about 100000, and be actually
prevailed upon one of the largest creditors o
the estate Ga cannie Scott to garnish the firm
of Higgins & Co., and the other creditors, in
the faithful liquidation of the liabil ties of the
estate, so that the late firm are now held
harmless.
The $4,000 credit which he had obtained
in the manner above mentioned, he deposited
in the Western Bank Of Glasgow
Soon after he returned to N. York and con-
tinued the importing business from the first
of January last, in Vesey street, under the
name of Wright Brothers." Here he seem
ed to prosper greatly. He lived grandly, &C.
cupied brown stone front in Twenty third
street, kept a span of horses, and, in fact
went it decidedly strong
His career was very brilliant but very brief
In ninety days afer its establishment, the
/ firm of " Wright Brothers" collapsed.

TOKEN OF RESPECT TO Mrs. PoLK.-At a
parade of the military companies of Nashville,
last week, they marched in line to the elegant
residence of the late President Polk, and en-
tering the beautiful circular avenue leading
through the grounds in front of the house,
they saluted in military form, the widow Of
the deceased President, and passed out through
the opposite gate of the avenue. The salute
was as courteously accepted, as it was sol
dierly given.

Of one of the parties, on either of the commu-

for one day, unbiased by any comments Of
ours. We make no attempt to blunt the
point of the Judges weapon, nor to parry the
thrust, for we can take many such without
wincing.

team got into a dispute with two brothers
named Croker, who also had team on the

terrible blow under the chin, which severed
the windpide from its connexion with the

EDITOR OF THE DAILY Journal +:

EDITOR OF THE DAILY JOURNAL:
Dear Sir: have read the editorial article
and proceedings Of City Council, published in
your paper of the 9Th inst.
The view which you take is very just, and
merits the appreciation of all good citizens,
and can only be objected to by such as are de-
sirous of bringing upon our city the disgrace
of reputation.
As to the report of the committee, shall
only ailude to it with reference to slight
misstatement. The report states. That i'm
mediately on the application in June last, for
the Bonds, the matter was referred to your
committee, who proceeded at once to collect
information to enable them to report without
delay; but were personally requested not to
do so, as this Company expected to make ar
rangements which would supercede the neces-
sity for such application or issue of Bonds"
This is simply not the fact. After the COM
mittee had satisfied me that they would re-
port against the delivery of the Bonds, | re-
quested them to delay their report, as it would
njure and embarrass Us in our operations on
the line of the Road.
AS am about to leave the city, to be alb
sent some weeks, it may be proper for me to
state my position as stock subscriber on the
Bonds of the Company.
| have subscribed on the books of the Com
pany, in the several counties through which
the road runs, the sum of $66,5CO; every
dollar of which has been paid according to
contract, and the Company has issued to me
certificates of stock, to this amount. The
stock due to me under the contract, as one OF
the contractors for building the road, will in
crease my stock to 100000.

hours. Many were seriously wounded. To
tai wounded is fifty. The Second ward drove
the Americans off. The Fourth ward Amer

ATTEMPTED MURDER.-Under this caption
the Springfield (Mass) Republican gives an
account of an attempt to murder Albert @.
Hail. cattle dealer and droyer Of Berlin, N.
Y, last Monday night, between Springfield
and Belchertown, by a young man named
Washington d. Walker, son of a Deacon
Walker, Belchertown farmer 1t appears
that a week or more since, young Walker
went to Greenbush, N. Y, and contracted
with Wheeler & Hall for 548 head of sheep,
at $2,055, paying down 5000. He then ar
ranged for Mr.. A. G. Hall to accompany him
to Springfield to receive the balance of the
money from his father. On reaching Spring-
field, however, young Walker could not find
his father, and induced Mr.. Hall to start with
him in wagon for Bechertown.
Upon reaching a lonely spot in the road,
Walker discharged revolver at Hall, wound
ing him in the wrist. Mr.. Hall then grappled
with Walker, when he fired several more
shots, which Hall narrowly escaped. Walker
then jumped from the wagon and disappeared,
and Hall reused the inmates of house half a
mile distant.
Mr.. Hall is accustomed to have large sums
Of money about his person, and this circum-
stance is offered in explanation of the assault.
Mr.. Walkers father can throw no light upon
the matter not having ssen his son for week,
and knowing nothing of his cattle speculation.
Walker was still at large, but cannot hope to
escape detection and arrest.

Col. BENToN.-Old Bullion appearing, I'M
announced and unexpected, TO the Antics in
st. Louis on Monday last, threw them into a
panic and futter. They dread his presence,
and the effects of his speeches from the blows
he deals it takes them six months to recover.
He came to St. Louis he said, simply to de-
posit his vote, and discharge the duties of a
Freeman, but he could not refuse the request
of his friends to address them and on Mon
day evening an immense throng gathered at
the Mercantile Library Hall, to listen to his
speech, of which the News gives the follow
ing sketch:
Col Benton referred to his literary ork,
the Abrdgement Of the Debates in Congress,
which he had brought down to the third year
Iof Jefferson's administration. Having got
ahead of his publishers, he had come to st.
Louis to crown the labors of the campaign on
which he entered last summer. He was fresh,
vigorous, and full of hope, Gan assertion which
a single glance at his erect frame and steady
gait sofficed to confrm.) He referred to the
charge that, while ostensibly supporting Blu
chanan, he was secretly favoring Fremont,
and declared it utterly false. He always had
stood up, and always would stand up, TO Ere
mont, in his trials and troubles but could
not, and would not, support him as section
al candidate for the Presidency. In private
conversation, around the domestic Preside, in
the presence Of men then on the platform with
him, he had earnestly advised Fremont not to
suffer himself to be drawn into the position
he occupies. He acknowledged the virtues,
public and private, of Mr.. Fillmore, who had
left the national farm in good order-woud
to God that the man who succeeded him had
preserved that order! But his preference was
for Mr.. Buchanan, because he esteemed him
as the man most likely to give peace to the
afflicted country He denounced the repeal
of the Missouri COMPROMISE. declared that he
was opposed to the extension of slavery, and
said that he never saw Henry Clay rise high
er and look grander than when in 1850, in
the Senate Chamber, he, too, had declared his
opposition to the extension of slavery.
The speech throughout was mild and con-
ciliatory, delivered in admirable style, and
elected frequent bursts of applause.
