Correspondence Of the Chicago Tztbune1
CHAarA1aa C1TI, June 81, 1851.
Editors Chicago Tribune:
About four O'Clock, P. NJ, Of the 10th inst,
an 1mmenEe cloud of a dark greenish tut was
seen looming rapidly up in the northwest. II
came forward rapidly, and In d few moments
mighty hurricane WIS sweeping over our
city, carrying before 1t fencing boards, shin
giles, chlmneys, roofs of houses, Sc, while It
lifted eeyernl dwellings, school houses aud
earns from their foundations, and carried them
several feet and then dashed them into pieces.
After the wind had tested the moving cspaci.
~ Of everything portable, then came shower
Of hail which, in a few moments, converted
our immense crops Of ripening wheat and
waving corn into,a barren waste. There are
many farms In the vicinity Of Champaign City
upon which these is not now green Leaf, or
a blade Of grass left. Wheat, oats; barley and
rye are entirely ruined. visited many aelas
today, and found the email grain moo,. to the
ground as with scythe; and the stalks we're
beaten and shiyered, looking Ike they had
passed through threshing machine. Corn
which was one and half feet high, was cut
of even with the ground, and the stock beat
en- to jelly an inch below the surfacc-' It Is
possible that q part Of the corn will revive
but the email grains are complete wreck.
Never hns such = storm Visited Central
Illinois, within the memory of the Oldest in.
habitmts. We hare not % Jet learned the
brendth Of country which the storm included,
OF the damage sustained; hut We know that
in this region the ye;n was more than twenty
miles wide. Fortunately, in cur city no
houses were blown down or otherwise seri-
ously injured but in yx1ious parts of the
county, the houses and barns were blown
down and sbiEered into atoms. Up to this
date we have heard Of FIVE persons who were
Killed, and quite number who were mo-c OF
less ser1oua1y wounded.
At the request Of J. B. Phinnery, Esq,
visited lis fam yesterday, which is sit1ated
three miles southwest OF Champaign City, in
order to examine the wreck. Mr.. P. had $50
acres In co1n and small grain, and 20 far as
vegetation is concerned, his farm would look
very Wel for December, but It presents a hor-
nd aspect for June His ccrn, which E:.s
foot high, is cct off and beaten into tie
ground Until the rows cannot now be dis.:n-
guished- smaller corn Eas cut below the sur.
face, and not vestige is to be seen- Pota-
toes that were In blossom are scarcely dis.
cernahle; wheat, rye, and all other small
grains cut rs If moWn with q scythe; the
ground swept clean; frnst and forest trees not
on>y stripped Of leaves and bark, bnt they are
torn deep into the wood. After looking over
the remains Of his splendid farm, Mr.. F. re-
marked thAt, "thcre Was not now green1eaf
or blade Of grass Inside his enclosure" The
loss in this county cannot be approximatad,
but is certainly not ehort Of half million.

WASHINGTON, June %.
SECRETARY CAMERoS's SPEECH,
The speech Of Mr. Secretary Cameron at the
dinner Of the st. Andrews Society last even
lng, was the most satisfactory declaration Of
the policy of the Administration that has vet
been made, md that clause wherein he suites
" that the War would continue until oil the
causes which produced 1t are removed, and
when It terminates we shall hear no more of
IuE in1ane, no more Of South Caroliniaus, but
shall be all Americans, cnc and indivisfble,''
was received with immense cheering. We
are happy to have it In our power to say that
The activity of the War Department has illus-
hated the sincerity OF his declarations. More
Systematic and effective labor has been per.
formed u the last eight days, than at any cor
give him sal7tation md support in the high
est exercise OF his energy in accumulatinE
force which Ehall make resistance hopeless.

VALIANT SOLDIERS.
Persons living in the vicinity Of the rebel
batteries at Vienna state positively that when
the valiant South Carolina Regiment formed
N line Of battle On cEe side Of the battery,
they placed in front Of them $50 negroes
whom they had brought from the Palmetto
State, to receive the fire Of the Ohloans. But
this stratagem did not avail, for Cuffse inyaria-
bly, dropped fat On his face whenever the
muskets Of the Government troops were
pointed IN his direction; hence It was that six
South CarollnIans were killed, instead of Elk
negroes. The rebels said there were 200 cav
airy on the ground, who covered their retreat.

Matters at Cairo.
Special Dispatch to the Cincinnati Enquirer.

CAIRO May 2I-The little steamer Equality pass
ed here for St. Louis yesterday with load of hoop
poles and slaves. After examination she allow
ed to go OF.
A fat>boat loaded with lime for the South was
stopped here yesterday. The captain says he was
passed all o. X. by the military at Evansville.
Twelve hundred and fifty barrels of lime from
Cape Girardeau, also for the South. taken off
the steamer Falls City Friday last, and is in store
here.
The Fred Lorenz is still here Her cargo was
rendered back to her by Col Prentiss part of which
the boat sold to the Commissary Department. The
boat is awaiting orders from the owners to know
what to do with the balance of her cargo. They
will allow 1t all to be taken to st. Louis.
A lady bound for Memphis came down on the
train last night with four large and very suspicious
looking trunks which, together with several others
were examined here. We could not learn the result
of the search.
Captain Benham, of the Typographical Engineer
Corps, made survey of the Kentucky and Missouri
shores Sunday, TO ascertain the proper height to
erect the batteries on the Cairo banks. Two of the
escort were lost in the bottoms near Birds Point,
and lave not reported themselves yet
There have been no batteries troops stationed
on either the Kentucky or Missouri shore.
There Is but little sickness in the camp-only
about fifty persons in the hospital and none of them
seriously ILL., No deaths from disease have occurred
here since the first ARRIVAL which speaks well for
the health of Cairo, and the care taken of the vol
unteers at Camp Defiance.
There is still considerable water inside the levees
in several parts of the town, but as the river Is
falling fast and the town steam-pumps are both at
work it is reasonable TO suppose that we will soon
be dry again.
Memphis has sold his boat, and. hear, rendered
his services to the Government, and is doubtless
accepted ere this. He has always been staunch
Union man.

What is martiaI Lau.

At the present crisis the significance of term so
much used, and with little accurate sense of its
meaning, becomes unusually important Bowler
defines martial law ''code established for the
government of the army and navy of the United
States" wose principal rules are to be found in
the articles of war, prescribed by act of Congress
But Chancellor Kent says this defnation applies
only to military law, while martial law is quite a
distinct thing and is founded on paramount neces
sity. and proclaimed by a military chief. Martial
law is genei ally and vaguely held to be suspen-
sion of all ordinary civil rights and processes and
as such opportunities closely to military despot-
ism 1t is arbitrary law, originating in emerg=
ces In times Of extreme peril to the State, either
from without from within, the public welfare de-
mands extraordinary measures. And martial law
being proclaimed signifies that the operation of the
ordinary legal delays of justice is suspended by the
military power, which has for the time become su-
preme. 1t suspends the operations of the writ of
habeds corpus; enables persons charged with trea-
to be summarily tried by court martial instead
of grand jury; justifes searches and seizures of
private property, and the taking possession of pub
lie highways and other means of communication.
Involving the highest exercise of sovereignty it is
of course, capable of great abuse, and is only to
be justified on emergencies of the most imperative
and perilous nature.
