SUDDEN DEATH.-On the night of the 18th
ult., Col. VIM. Rucker retired to rest apparently
in good health, at his home in this county, and on
the morning of the 18th his body cold and ifeless
was found in the yard near his door. Two of his
sons, the only members of his family then at home,
slept above stairs, while the room he occupied was
on the ground floor, therefore they were ignorant
of his having left the house until his remains were
discovered.
An inquest was held upon the body, and as no
marks Of violence we're found upon it, the jury
returned verdict to the effect that the deceased
died from natural causes -RutherfnrR ENQUIRER

nS- A difficulty has arisen between Archbishop
Hughes and the authorities of New York. 1t ap-
pears that the City Inspector addressed noti6ca-
ton to the Archbishop that the law passed in 1853
provided for the registry of births, deaths and
marriages, every clergyman to report all marriages
celebrated by him to the City Inspector, under
the penalty of fifty dollars for refusing neglect
ing so to do. The Archbishop, however, replied
by declining, 'with the utmost respect for all hu.
man legal authority" to fulfil the simple require
ments of that law. He says that many cases occur
in which it is for the Catholic priest to remedy
privately the evils which the corruption of morals
may have entsied, and declares that while he, the
Archbishop, is "quite ready for prison a scat
fold, he is not prepared to obey requisition
which WOULD violate the obligations Of his con-
science.

FLoRIDA.-The senior editor Of the n. c.
Presbyterian, writing from St Augustine, Fla,
says:
The season here is about six weeks in advance
of that in North Carolina. The corn crop is now
'slad BY" regret to learn that in this section OF
the State it will be short, owing to the drought.
Old corn is selling at 81 so; it is imported from
Savannah and Charleston.
The cotton csop is reported as unusually prom
Using; large yield this year is needed to compen-
safe for the failures of the last two seasons These
repeated failures have disheartened the planters,
and it was feared that another would drive of
many valuable citizens from the State.
Melons and all kinds of vegetables have been
abundant"

Mr.. DauenhoTcr, in speech Of About two
hours, monstated the really conservative po-
sltion Of the Republican party. and aroused a
feeling for acting, by his urgent appeals for a
thorough organization, that will, in my opinion,
result in great good. In cohrertalion with
those present from the country precincts, was
surprised to learn that, ia several, clubs were
in active operation, md that the PROSPECT for
largely increased rote is tattcring.
We hare resolved 70 form club at this place
next week, during The sitting Of our Circuit
Court. 4 Wide Awake Club Is also spoken vi; ;

tions, We can poll in the county from Gu0 10 G5o

THE TORNADO AT SPRINGFIELD.


kNE~NH tA+
About halEpast seven o'clock on Friday eyen-
ing, this city and vicinity we're visited by q
heavy stor:, the severity Of which far exceed
cd that OF any we hare experienced this season.
Before seven o'clock its approach was indicat.
ed by ihe dark masses Of clouds rolling up from
the West, canopying the whole earth with their
gloomy blaekness. Their pent-up fury burst
up lew moments alter seven, and in twenty
minutes thereafter 1t was raging with terrific
power. Buildings were blown down and un-
rooted, trees were uprooted, and shrubberv and
grain prostrated to the earth. An accountant
ment Ay bcavens heaviest artillery added to the
terrible effect Of lhe scene.
The injury sustained by some Of our citizens
IS very severe. The heayiest losers are the
Messrs. Withey. whose carriage manuiaetory w
was completely demolished. Tic Sulding wns
larEe-three story brick, aad contained Ut the
time about fifty carriages and bupejes. The
falling walls buried the vehicles de- troyiue ali
but one or two. The loss Of these gentlemen is
estimated at from $4,000 to $4,000. We are
glad to learn that our liberal minded citizens are
assisting them 10 start again.
Stable belonging to Sir. Wm. Crovder. on
Vest Washington street, was struck and set
on lire By The lightning, and entirely consumed.
Loss not ascert1ined.
Part Of the roof Of the west wing of the
Clenery House Was blown Of. Loss about
$10e. o~0A'
4 chimney on the drug store Of Messrs c,r.
neau l. D.lcr was blown down, falling through
the roaf. and doing some damage among The
"upper Eorks" inside. Loss about $lo0,
a portion Of the roof Of Lambs old pork
house was blown away. Loss 5000
The Republican Wlgwam suffered slight iu-
jury By the loss Of the canvass which covered
the peak Of the roof.
The dwelling Of John ". Priest war consider
ably injured. 4 portion Of the wallis Of new
brick house on Seyenih street, belonging to g.
). Mendell, which was in process Of construc-
ttion. was blown down. The carpenter shop Of
Mr. John Rhodes, and frame building belong.
house, were also blown down.
This lis. comprises all the damage that We
hare been able to asctrtain definitely. The in
jury to fruit trees md shrubbety is probably
very severe, though it is impossible to estimate.
No Lives we're lost or endangered, which is
severity OF the STORM

The dolefulness Of the Douglas men in con.
sequence Of their Int great disaster in North
Carolina admits Of no consolation. They had
relied upon their strength, boosted over it,
and based calculations and predictions upon
it 1t proves to be nothing. The effect ol
tho Douglas votes, though cast for the Know
Nothing candidates, was hardly felt IN the
contest. Know Nothings and Douglas'tes arc
all swept from the platter, and the Breck'n'
ridge victory is decisive. So much ior Squat
ter Sovereignty in tie old North State. We
amin ask the attention Of Mr.. Douglas friends
in The Northwest to tue facts which this cleo
ton discloses- They demonstrate that the
Little Giant has no chance whatever; and
that in Illinois, 1ndiana, or any ono Of the
closely-contested States, vote for Douglas is
really vote for Breckiuridge. Are! tho
believers in Squatter Sovereignty prepared 10
% for save Code2 That is tho main Dues
linn in the canvass.
