The little village Of Littleton, situated
about fifteen miles from the Illinois river, in
Schuyler county, was visited by q most des-
tructive tornado, or whirlwind, on the 23d
tul., by which nearly every house in the
place was destroyed, and several persons
injured, some of them it is feared, fatally.
Two churches, Methodist and Baptist,
were blown down, and the roof Of one Of
them carried two and half miles. Some
thirty or forty persons were badly injured
by the falling timber, two of them fatally.

poleon, whom men begin to recognise as a
NapoleoDic sort of a man, in 1852, conceived
the idea that it would be practicable to com
press flour so as to diminish its bulk, and in
that way facilitate its transportation, and
yet not injure its quality. In July of that
year an experiment was made by his COM
mand to test his views. Flour, subjected to
hydraulic pressure Of 800 tons, was re-
duced in volume more than twenty four per
cent. On close examination, it was found
to possess all the qualities it had previous
to its violent treatment. 1t was then put
into zinz boxes and sealed up. At the same
time, other flour manufactured from the
same wheat, but not compressed, was sealed
up. In October thereafter several boxes
were opened and examined. The pressed
was pronounced the best. Twelve months
after this, in October, 1854, another eXamin-
alton took place with the same result. The
two kinds of -four were then kneadcd into
bread, and baked The pressed -four made
the best bread. In March, 1855, more Of
the zinc boxes were opened, and on examin-
alton the loose -four showed mouldiness,
when the pressed was sweet and retained all
its qualities. Made into bread, the difference
was OF observable. The emperor had ordered
the same experiments to be made at sea, as
well as on land Men-ofwar are to take out
both kinds of -four, and both are to be sent
on sea voyages to het and cold latitudes, and
examinations are to be made and recorded
of the influence of climate and air upon

THE SUGAR CRoP.-The st. Louis Leader
of the Sd inst, has an article on the Failure
of the sugar crop" 1t says:
1t is now ascertained to Ger tainty which
leaves no hope for a different result, that
the sugar crop this season, in the South,
will scarcely exceed 100, 600 hhds, showing
a large deficit on the yield of the previous
year of $50, coo hhds. The excessive and
long continued severity of the last two win
tiers affected tho cane disastriously, and led
to this almost entire failure. In 1853 the
Weld was 450, 900 hhds-in 1854, 345, 600
in 1856, 100000, and this year, as already
stated, 100, 900.

\ FREE STATE IN TgxAs.-Somo ;'lay look
upon such thing as a free State OF Western
Texas as improbable. particularly at time
when strenuous efforts are being made to
carry slavery into Kansas, whe re shaver
ase Reh ptfgSns f pfSttpaaG Sth a such sah nm e.
vent will occur within the next ten years.
Our opinion is based upon the fact that for
eign immigration is greater than domestic,
by at least ten TO one; and upon the well
known fact that foreign immigration is oppos-
ed to slavery, from principe e, prjupice and
education. And there are many OF the i'm
migrants from the older States opposed TO
slavery. who quietly tolerate it SO long as
1t is an institution of the State, but who will
vote no slavery when the question comes up
whether Western Texas shall be free or =
slave State. This fact is not generally known;
if so it is not duly considerd. The vote OF
the adopted citizens of Texas now numbers
at least twelve thousand. In less than three
wears 1t will be increased to three times that
number, unless the naturalization laws are
changed. This increase will be in much
greater ratio than that Of the native born
vote Il San Antonio Texan.

marks:
The Fremonters have much to say about
the large majorties of their candidates in a
few of the States, particularly Massachu-
sets, New York, Maine and Vermont but
suppose we take a look at the whole field.
We shall then find that Fremont is farther
behind in the popular than in the Electoral
vote. For it must be remembered that in
fifteen states OF the Union he has no vote at
all, or SO few that they arc not worth naming.
Therefore the whole Buchanan vote of those
fifteen States is so much majority against
Fremont. We are inclined to think that the
votes of the three candidates in the nation
