Popular Excitement in 81, Ton.,.

ST. LOUIS, June 3.--Intense excitement pre-
vailed among all classes Of citizens to-day, 10
consequence Of the shooting Of Mr.. Chariess
TINS morning. About IL o'clock some two or
three thousand men repaired to the Jail, with
the avowed purpose Of forcibly taking and
hanging the prisoner, but, through the exer-
tlons OF the police and the influence Of several
prominent citizens, the excitement was some
what allayed and majority of. the crowd pre-
vailed upon to disperse. Squads ,of excited
men, however, fingered around the Jail all the
afternoon, and trayersed the streets, threaten
ing vengeance upon the culprit. To prevent
violence, Mayor Filley orderedout the military,
some of whom. are now 4 8 oclock) standing
guard in the jail yard, while others are patrol
ling the Streets prepared 10 instantly suppress
any threatened outbreak.
Mr.. Charles still fingers, but his death is
looked for every moment. He received two
pistol wounds in the abdomen, either one of
which the surgeons pronounced mortal.
Much excitement still exists, and il is feared
that the announcement of the death of the
wounded man will be the signal Of general
outbreak.
Mr.. Charless, Sr., is of the firm of Charless,
Blow & Co., and one of the Oldest and most
esteemed merchants Of this city, and the
attack upon him is universally regarded as the
most unprovoked and cold-blooded on record.

HoRrCuLTURAL SooIETY-CLosING EXH1BI-
TIoN.-Last evening the exhibition Of the
Cincinnati Horticultural Society closed. There
was the most numerous assemblage of ladies
and gentlemen present than on any other
evening during their spring display. Several
cotillions were formed during the evening, and
everybody seemed to pass the time in the most
pleasant enjoyment. The hand-boquets ex-
hibted by Mr.. Joseph Cook and Mr.. William
Heavier were the most tasteful in design and
the most beautiful in variety we have over
seen. That they found IL ready sale was a
good evidence of their appreciation.
On one Of the tables at tho Horticultural
exhibition, last evening, was vase of artif-
cial flowers, made entirely from paper, that SO
closely initiated nature rs to deceive even the
florists. A distinguished horticulturist, among
others, was admiring their manifold beauties,
and expressed a surprise that so fine dahlSa
could be grown at this season of the year
What was his astonishment at learning that
tho flower which had so much excited his ad-
miration was made out of paper? These
flowers arc the handi-work of Mrs. Louisa,
Whilldn.

NUMEROUS reports are current as to the
status Of the powers of Europe, arising out of
the delicate relations caused by the pending
war. English papers express their belief to
be that the passage by Napoleon of the
boundary line of Sardinia, into Austria, will
be the signal for an European alliance against
France, and for the Austrian troops to march
on Paris.
A German correspondent of the Zeitung, of
st. Louis, writes that Spain has a secret
treaty with Franco to furnish large contin-
gent for the italian war against Austria.
One of our own citizens, John Geddes, at
present bankey in Paris, left the French
capital on the 18th of May, and he entertains
no doubt Of a secret treaty between France
and Russia. Events are maturing, and will
unravel the tangled skein of conjecture.

REV. sABIN HoUoH, editor of "The New
Church Herald" of this city, in his issue of
yesterday, says;
Ericsson's" Caloric Engine seems to he
just the thing wanted. For several months
one of the daily papers of this city, the Penny
Press, has been running one of these engines
with decided success. On looking at it, q
few days since, we were surprised to find that
it occupied so little room, and could be run
at So cheap rate, and yet be so eiEectual for
the purposes intended.
He adds, that there is fair prospect that
the "poor Ericsson" of former days will yet
become the rich and successful Ericsson, and
be ranked among the great inventors and
benefactors Of the age.

Terrible Tornado Near jacksonville.

WOUNDED.
GREAT DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY.
From the spripeneld State Registrar !


tFrom the Springfield State Reester.l
One Of those disastrous calamities which
only ind parallel in the storms Of the Indias,
visited our county yesterday evening. The
course OF the storm was in a north east direc-
tlon, not more than n quarter Of milo in
width. But little damage was done here, though
the storm was very violent eight milos south of
TINS. An eyewitness informed me that it
assumed the shape of funnel lust before it
touched the spot where it made desolate every
thing before it. A great number of persons
have been killed or injured more or less.
Inc names OF those who were killed are:
Mrs. Richard Rout, o child of George Van
zant, Samuel Brown, son of Bedford Brown
a Portuguese who was in the employ of Mr..
Rout, and young man by the name of
Thomas, who lived in Samples neighborhood.
The family of Richard Henry were all in
lured, though not seriously, by the falling of
their house. Richard Rout, arm broken; a son
of Barnabas Barrows, skull fractured; and
others whose names do not recollect
Horses, mules, and stock generally, killed or
injured, and fences swept entirely away. Such
destruction has never been known before in our
country accompanied by 80 great a loss of
life.
Many Of our citizens, and the Sons of Malta
have left town to aid the distressed. And /
have been informed that public meeting will
be held this evening to take such measures as
the circumstances may require in furtherance
of the same object.
The storm of wind was not so violent here,
but the rain poured in torrents, Never in the
recollection Of the oldest inhabitant have the
streets of Jacksonville been SO deeply inun.
dated. The waters poured over the streets like
a torrent, and sought outlets over paved and
flower gardens.
The destruction Of fields rpening for the
lnrvnqt and tho foi oc q
which we have had just reason to complain,
sink into insgnifcance in comparison to the
Wholesale destruction of lifo with which we
have been visited.
Truly the ways of Him who doeth all
things well are mysterious to us.
