DouGLAs IN NORTH ALABAMA.-Jeremiah
Clemens, formerly editor of the Memphis In
quirer in a letter to that paper from Hunts
yille Ala, closes with the following para
graph;
The result of my observations through the
day is, that Breckingrdge will be beaten in
this county three or four to one Douglas
will undoubtedly get large majority, and
next to him will place Bell, Placing no
great reliance upon the reports hear daily
from other parts of the State, and Judging
only from the feeling manifested in this
stronghold of Democracy, | tell you, with
entire confidence, that you may set down
Alabama as lost to Breckinridge lie could
not carry the State to day, ana will grow
weaker from this time until November. The
only thing which ever gave the secession
party any strength in Alabama was its as
sumption of the name of Democracy, and
when That is torn away, they will dwindle
into faction too contemplate to excite the
fears or disturb the peace Of The country.

intend to be sold ont to dsunion, nor to be
pulled about 10y the nose by Irecipitators.
We don't intent that the great and glorious

tuken the rights of the people into their GUS

OPPOSED TO THE PACIFIC RAILRoAD-The
Breckenridge party of Virginia have declared
in their State Convention against a Pacific
Railroad. This is natural enough, for it has
been proven, and can be over ana over
again, that Mr. Breckiuridge has cast votes
very unfiendly to this great enterprise.
We ask Cali!ornians if they are going tc
support man and party who are opposed
to the Pacific Railroad? Have we not all sci
our hearts upon this mighty work, and do W.
not desire to see it accomplished? Can We
look upon any man as a friend to California
who opposes it?
In vain may Secession Conventions in thi,
State pass resolutions favorable to the Pacif,
Railroad. The people will know how tc
value such lip-soryice to the great cause
when they consider how strenuously opposet
to the measure is the ultra party of tn,
South, whose standard bearer Mr.. Breckin
ridge now is.

How Old Abe Received tho
news Of his NoIaEr

There are several reports afoat as 10
how Honest Old Abe received the news
Of his nomination, none of which are cor
rect. We give the correct report:
The official committee arrived IN Spring
field at dewy eve, and went to Honest Old
Abe's house. Honest Old Abe was not in.
Mrs. Usnest Old Abe said Honest Old Abe
was out IN the woods, splitting rails. So
the official committee went out into the
woods, where, sure enough, they found
Honest Old Abe splitting rails with his
two boya. 1t was a grand, magnificent
spectacle. There stood Honest Old Abe
in his shirt sleeTes, pair of home made
leather suspsnders holding up a pair of
homo made pantaoons, the seat of which
was neatly patched with substantial cloth
/ Of different color "Mr. Lincoln, sir,
! you've been nominated, sir, for the high
est Office, sir "Oh, don't bother me"
said Honest Ola Abo, q took a stent this
morning to split three million rails afore
night, and | don't want to be pestered
| with no stuff about conventions till | get
my stent done. I've only got two hun
bred thousand rails to split afore sundovn.
I kin do it if you'll let me alone" And
the great man went right on splitting rails,
paving no attention 10 the committee
whatever The committee we're lost in
admiration for few moments, when they
recovered and asked one Of Honest Old
AJe's boys whose boy he was. "I'm my
parents boy" shouted the urchin, which
burst Of wit 50 convulsed the committee
that they came near "gin'in eout" com
pletclv. In few minutes Honest Old
Abe finished his task and received the
news with perfect self possession. lie
then asked them up to the house, where
he received them cordially. He said he
split three million rails every day, altho'
he was in very poor health. Mr.. Lincoln
is joyial man aud has keen sense of the
ridiculous. During the evening he asked
Mr. Eva.ts Of New York why Chicago
was like hen crossing the street. Mr.
Evarts studied awhile,a and gave it up. "Be-
cause" said Mr. Lincoln, "Old Grimes is
dead, that good old man. This exceed
ingIy humorous thing created the most
uDroarious laughter. And as an evidence
that he is a statesman as well as a wag, il
may be stated that during the evening, he
profoundly observed that governments
were governed too much and that {" an
honest man was The noblest work Of God

wailing in fright and terror Everything
was alarm, anguish and confusion.
Everything was done in both Albany
and Camanche during Sunday night TO ad
minister such relief as was at hand, and
early yesterday morning special trains
commenced running every two hours on
the Chicago, Iowa d Nebraska Railroad,
bearing medical attendants, nurses. and
means of relief, and returning with loads
of the sufferers to Clinton aud Fulton,
where more could be done for their COM
fort Throughout yesterday the wounded
were being brought up by these trains.
In other parts of the State great devas-
tstions were made. AtLyndon, Mt. Plea
SAINT, Colomo and Hahneman, in White
side county, aud in the vicinity of Amboy,
Lee county, houses were destroyed, stock
killed, and a number of lives lost.
A gentleman who was 2 passenger
northward on the Illinois Central Railroad
counted ten buildings destroyed on tho
line whore the tornado crossed that road.
1t is impossible to estimate the loss Of
property by this calamity. To the far
mers it will be immense. Cattle and stock
we're killed in large numbers, both at the
homestead and at pasture. Fences, houses,
orchards and standing timber, all were des-
troyed along the broad line of the lorna
dos march. Fragments Of clapboards,
siding, &c, were found at Fulton, believed
to have been carried from Albany, dis
lance of eight miles.
Tie very surface Of the ground was
rent and torn as by ploughshares, along
the course OF the destroyer. One eye-wit-
ness stated that the turf is, in spots, torn
up. One man, back Of Camanche, on the
prairie, was blown from his bed distance
! OF twenty rods.

The Next Census.

In a recently published article which Te
have noticed going the rounds Of many Of
our exchanges, there is an estimate Of tho
result Of our Hsxt Census, and TIE pro5a,
BE number of Congressman from each
State after the next apportionment. Ao-
cording to that estimate, the population
Of the State Of Michigan is put down at
over 100 900 greater than that OF Hiscon-
sin, and she Is consequently estimated to
have one more member Of Congress- under
that apportonment than this State.
Now, the fact is, that although tie Cen
sus Of 1850 gave Michigan about 100000
inhabitants more than Wisconsin, yet the
Census of 1855 proved that we he'd not
only overhauled our sister State in popu
iation, but actually exceeded her by about
fifty thousand ard the probabilities are,
that after the next Census and Appornon-
ment, Wisconsin will have greater mum
Der of Representatives in Congress than
Michigan.

FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE IS, 1860
Hon, Charles II. Larrabee.

It will be seen by reference to our col
umns thst tie able Representative from
this Congressional District has been g,
work and has been attending the practi
cal wants of the people. We refer to the
bill establishing various new post routes
in Ibis State, many Of them in this Dis
trict, and also to the House Appropriation
bill for Rivers and Harbor,.
It has been extremely fashionable Of
late for the Republican press of this State
to abuse and yillify Judge LAgRABEE, but
the principal accusation made against
him is tia. he is ambitious and fond of
notoriety. We have watched his Con-
pressional career with considerable later
est, from the fact that he is our on : Dem
ocratic Represe NATIVE from this State, and
thu, far we have been unable 10 discover
any dishonorable symptoms Of ambition.
Judge LARRABzE does appear ambitious
to obtain for the people of his District
those practical benefits TO which they are
entitled from the Federal Government,
enI TO merit the approval of his consti:u-
ents by watching over aud protecting
those pubic interests which were so Who'll
~ ignored and neglected by his inellicien:
predecessor. We are sure the people will
not ON Tenn that honorable ambition
in their Representative, which seeks only
to gain their appreciation by faithful and
energetic discharge Of his Representative
duties.
It is true that the extreme activity Of
Judge LARuABEE, being, IS it il is, in
such strong contrast to the weak and IN
efficient conduct Of lis colleagues from
this State, has given him considerable
promnence-o or notoriety, if you will but
It is notoriety not in any way connected
with sntbing low or dishonorable, bat ne
cessarily connected with the responsible
duties of the Representative Of three hun
lred and fifty thousand people, whose in
terests had been neglected for six years
It is to be regretted that Messr,. porrEr
and NAsHBUKxE could not have obtained
a reputation as pure, end if they wanted
notoristy, have soushtit in some othe
manner than in diagracef0l brawls in Tx
/ Chamber Of lie House. Ia our opinion
reputation for brains IS more respecta
Die than a reputation for muscle, unles:
one wishes to become prize fighter.

Madame BoD1sco to Captain Scorr, Of the
East Indian Army, at Washington on
Tuesday, the brides dress was composed
Of splendid lavender colyred silk, tasteful
Iy embroidered with rich laces and 1oun-

preclude any idea of gaudiress. This
dress, ii is said, cost about $4,000. In
addition she wore a pretty straw bonnet,
which impaired all the air of a girl o.

CoRRECrroN.-We have been charged
by one Of our CO enporarics with being
a SEWARD man. This charge has no
doubt grown out Of several editorials
which have appeared in the Pilot within
the tasJ month, ~ -,,r,,', = 80
ed our admiration for the ability and con
.istencT of thatStatesman, and have awald-
ed to him the praise so justly his due, on
account Of his known and acknowledged
opposition to the Proscriptige doctrines Of
the Know Nothings. Bat Willie we are
ready to svow our sympathy with the
great New Yorker in his brave, and as it
has proved-sefsacrificing opposition to
prescription, we have never endorsed the
sectional policy Of WILLIAM II. SEWARD,
which lie holds in common with the great
majority of his party, on the subject OF
Slavery in the Territories.

"PrTTISG ON Ans Our friend FITcH,

toned sometime since, the elopement of a
New York preacher with another mans
wife, and his arrest in Cincinnati, while
the erring woman was sent back to her
husband, who is promising member of
the bar of New York. The clerical Lo
thario is Rev. George Nugent Monro, and
he made the acquaintance of the lady when
he was student in the Dist street Theo-
logical Seminary. Monro was very init
mate in the family, and after graduating
at the Seminary, correspondent with the
lady, from Louisiana, where he was preach
ing. When the wife left her husband,
they were on the best Of terms, and he
even checked her baggage for her, as she
represented to him she wanted to 90 into
the country few days for her health. The
Seminary at which Monro graduated has
already repudiated him; and we are inform
ell that the Rev. Bishop Potter, Of the
New York diocese, has taken the matter
in hand, and when the evidence against
Monro is received from Cincinnati, will
Immediately take steps to eXpel him from

terrible dgouth that is running all prospects
for any crops, and literally baking the
ground, A Kansas paper says:
There has been no rain since last Au-
gust. There is no hope now Of saving the
wheat crop, which is great disaPpoint-
ment, as enough had been sown to yield
liberal supply for home consumption
The settlers have only the prospect OF corn
bread for another year, and not even th@t
unless the needed rain comes soon.-
Nothing Is growing, it is impossible to
plant in the baked soil, and the farmers
are naturally respondent and anxious for
the future"
