Terrible TOrnadO.-A Village and Three
Hundred buildings Destroyed.


The Franklin county IN. W Republican gives
an account of terribly destructive tornado which
occurred there. 1t says:
Between the hours of nine and ten o'clock on
Monday morning, fearful tornado passed over
the towns of Constable, Burke aud Chateaugay,
in this county, and extending into Clinton county
doing an incalculable amount of damage-sweep-
ing down forests, scattering fences destroying all
manner of buildings and other property and Ieav-
lug nothing but desola ton in its track. A heavy
and portentous cloud was first observed rising in
the Northwest, and soon another appeared in the
Southwest, moving in the direction of the for
mer. These clouds met about two miles North
of this village. A friend who was watching their
coming together said there instant crash
of falling trees, fences, houses &C.
From this point it swept on with fearful rapidity
and force, making path through the forests and
the fields in nearly direct course to Burke
and Chateaugay-levellins trees of every size, and
buildings as it went 1t struck the North street OF
Burke, near the Town House. The store of Kee-
Ter & Stewart was here unroofed, as were also Sc
vera dwelling houses and other buildings and pass
ing small hollow with little damage it again
struck with force about half mile further on and
from this point on to Chateaugay distance OF six
miles, hardly one building escaped unipjured, and
not a barn was left standing For the whole dis
lance the road was thckly settled for farm dis
uict Mitchells store destroyed, his goods
scattered i'll every direction, and large amount
entirely lost. Jeremiah Thomas, in the employ of
Mr.. III was killed at this place % -
From the west line .of Burke to and including
the Hotel of s. ID. Roberts, at Chateaugay Corners,
one hundred and eighty-ive buildings, either un-
rooted, blown down or moved from their founda-
tons, can be counted as you ride along the road
This does not nclude those partially injured by the
loss of few shingles, the tearing off portions
of covering, but such are nearly or quite de-
stroyed.
The village of Chateaugay is complete desola-
ton. Not a building escaped injury and great
many-we do not know how many-are complete
ly destroyed
Beyond Cauteaugay We have head of from sixty
to seventy buildings which were more or less in
jured. The tornado extended from a distance of
thirty to forty miles, perhaps further, and it must
have injured and destroyed nearly four hundred
buildings. One hundred thousand dollars will
not, probably, cover tue damage. Fences are de-
stroyed and horses and cattle are roaming at large
through the fields.
IL. A. Taylor, Esq, of this village, who passed
over the road on Tuesday, informs us that there
are '6i buildings, of all kinds from the west line
OF Burke to and including the village of Chateau.
gay, that were injured, unroofed and destroyed
and more than two-thirds of that number complete
ly ruined Among the 36I are l2s dwellings, four
stores, two churches and three school houses

HESRY A. WISE
PRESIDENT BUCHANAN'S CABINET.

Various speculs.ions have heen hazsrded in regard
to the Cabinet Of MIR. Buchanan. The opposition
press cannot be- relied OF, as authority in the matter,
and may not have much more influence upon the
Judgment of the President elect. than they had upon
the general result, of the Presidential election. They
NAV take a fresh start upon the information that Gov.
Wise, in compliance with al invitation from Mr. Buc-
hanan, has gone, or is about TO ga. to visit him. 1t Is
not TO be Inferred, however, that Gov. Wise Is there
fore to be q member Of the Cabinet. He has some
important, matters to attend 20 al home, being deeply
Interested IN the success Of the system Of internal I'M
provements,i in thst State, which has, under his ad
iniuistration, received a fresh Impulse.
Ii is not probable that he will resign mis- ~oficc,ns Go.
vernon, for the purpose of accepting n seat either in the
Cabinet, or in the U. ). Senate. Neither does II seem
probable that Mr.. Hunter, or Mr.. Mason. will, by re-
%siguation, make a vacancy III the Senate Tor Gov.
Wise. Even should Mr.. Mason resign, to accept u
place in the Cabinet, the vacancy must, according TO
usage. be filed from the Western part OF the State.
No President has ever come into office less tram
meled in regard to the choice Of his advisers, than
Mr.. Buchanan will. He has no teuds i'll the ranks Of
his friends either TO reconcile or to recognize. The
quarrel between the New York Hards aud Softs, and
between the friends and the opponents Of the Com.
promise of 1850, will not embarrass him. The late
election throws the mantle of oblivion over all past
differences among those who, in the late crisis, lave
been true t. the Union and The Constitution.
We may take il for granted that each OF the pre-
sept members Of the Cabinet will tender their resis-
nation 10 the incoming President, and that after such
DELAY as the convenience Of the President may re-.
auire, they will be accepted. Sill, the President
may find that the success Of his Administration will
be best promoted by retaining one or more OF them
10 the Executive Department. Certainly no ma
could give more dignity to the Department o. to'
reign Affairs, and I'll it with more satisfaction TO the
whole country than Gov. Marcy y. y. journal q
Commerce.

greatest victory ever gained by The ohited STATES
over a foreign lue was fought on her soil, aud against
the picked troops of the most warhke nation on the

shown a warlke disposition towards Cuba,
and through her Minister Soul. And is it
10 be wondered at, when she comes OFT
crnquror in every conquest! Az Louisiana votes, 80
GOES the Union, is proved beyond all question, after
thirteen trials. The question hereafter will be, not
how the Empire State, or the Keystone of the arch,
or the Old Dominion may 90, but how will Louisiana
vote. would suggest hereafter, in our Democratic
Conventions, that instead Of the ,wo-thirds rule, the
majority, Louisiana being a portion Of il, shall decide.
Instead of establishing our Government organ at
Washington, lei it illuminate from Orleans. Let Of,
ice seeker hereafter look to Louisiana; let those who
bet on Pr, sidential elections make ell their calcula.
lions for that locality; let Bolts not look 80 much 10
the fusion Of whites in Pennsylvania, as the fusion Of
race in that State. Gov. Wise, after all, was not ~
far out when he said il was a contest between whites,
