virginia Terribly AIarmed-TruIh Dawn-
ing Upon the Rebels

1t is amusing to note how extraordinarily
the tone of the fre-eating Secession journals
of the South have changed within the past
fortnight. Three weeks ago all the North
were towards and imbeciles; now they are
the most horrible and formidable Of savages.
The rebels are at last beginning to see what
fearful foe they aroused when they fired
upon the glorious flag Of our glorious coun-
try. The Richmond (Va.) Dispatch thus
expresses its alarm at the prospect Of the
future:
For all the present purposes of advantage
to the enemy and injury to US, Maryland
belongs 10 the North. She will not fight
against us; she will not furnish her regi-
ments to obey the behests of Lincoln; but
these are not wanted by the well-providsd
foe. 1t is the ground, the territory of Mary
land, that he needs, and Of that he is master.
Success has given him confidence, and he
turns now to Virginia. He has command of
the Chesapeake and of the Capes. He has
possession of Fortress Monroe. He has do
minion of the waters of Eastern Virginia.
His smallest vessel, with single gun, can
lord it over any Of our beautiful rivers and
! estuaTies.
He has forty thousand troops at Washing
| ton. He has as many more, within ready
| CON mnand, that can be concentrated at that
| point or any other. lie is thoroughly pro-
! vided with arms and all the munitions of
| war. Prepared at every point, and pro-
| Nided with every necessary, he can at any
moment precipitate himself upon Virginia,
| at as many points as his objects may require.
| Win he attack Virginia2 That is the ques-
ton.
1t is a question which Virginia ought not
to ask OF ponder. Were the indications Of
the enemy's purpose of attack ever so few,
| ever 30 faint, che should still be sctiVe, un-
tiring, ubiquitous, in her preparations. But
these indications seem positive, conclusive
and irresistible. Tne preparations Of the
enemy mean war, invasion and conquest,
early, formidable; vigorous snd releGtles9
They could mean nothing else-they do
mean nothing else. We are to be invaded
We are 70 be attacked by land and sea. All
our waters are to be infested by war craft
filled with soldiers, intent on pluuder, ra-
/ pine and blood. Virginia is to be penetrated
! by several columns OF troops, and attacked
in every vulnerable point at the same time
The bases of the mountains and the valleys
are to be occupied, and the separation o
/ Eastern and Western Virginia attempted
This is the plan of the enemy; this is the
purpose, and this the object Of his most
grand preparations,
| We are in for a most formidable campaign,
and we must Danish all expectations OF any
thing less serious.

The facts we are about to state are official

Floyd, made during last year, there were
one hundred and fifteen thousand improved

Terrible Tornado In South Carolina -
Houses md Forests Swept Away-A
Number OfPersons Killed nd Wounded
A correspondent Of the Columbia South
CaroGnion, writing under date of May I,
from 0rangeburg S. O., says
am just from one of the most extraordi-
mary scenes of devastation it is possible to
conceive of. Yesterday, between four and
five o'clock, p. NJ, storm Of wind and rain
passed over this section. About six miles
north Of the village it assumed the form of a
whirlwind. In its course it laid waste the
forest making an open passage about quar-
ter Ofa mile wide Immense oaks and pines
were torn up, and flung here and there like
little play things, while the smaller growth
is torn away entirCly or swept of verdure,
and the fragments of trees standing are
stripped even Of their bark
ltstrack, unfortunately, lay directly across
the premises of Mrs. AZ. UOain and DR.. j. @.
Jenkins, and there is o scene of indescribable
deselation. DR.. JenkiBs's premises are
complete, total, utter wreck. His beautiful
mapsion has disappeared almost as COM
pletely as if swallowed by an earthquake, and
its remains are scattered along two miles.
Not house is standing, and chimneys and
fencing are prostitute.
The immense tlmbers Of the dwelling lie
scattered here and there in broken fragments.
Some idea may be formed Of the awful power
that was at work, from the fact that the cot
ton screw, made OF the heaviest timbers, fas-
tened in the earth to tho depth Of four feet
ana weighing several hundred thousand
pounds was lifted from its tastenings and
flung en- mdSse some thirty feet.
The fields where the tornado passed were
swept bare Of herbsge, where promising
cotton crop was growing, and even the earth
in some places torn up. The Doctor saw the
storm approaching, and cried to his family
TO fly TO an open space, as he feared the fall
ing of the trees about the dwelling; mo-
mept after their leaving, the house disap-
peared. Himself knocked down by a falling
tree, while crawling from under 1t was
knocked insensib;e by flying beam.
His wife was tossed along the earth for
some distance, and escaped badly bruised.
His nurse, Sib, flying with the youngest
child Of three years, to which she clung with
touching affection, was Knocked senseless by
piece OF falling timber and lies now in q
precarious state. The child had its arm
broken. The girl Hannah, who was enciente,
when the Doctor urged her to fly with him,
loving her mistress more than her own life,
rushed into the house after her, and was in
stantly killed. A girl, Rachel, was killed by
the falling of the kitchen, and another wo-
man, Kate, lies seriously wounded. To be-
hold the wreck we wonder how any escaped
A similar devastation marks Mrs. OCain's
residence, but no one was killed.

The total number Of improved arms thus
supplied TO FIVE Repositories in the South by
o single order Of tthhe late Secretary Of War,
was one hundred and fourteen thousand
eight hundred and sixty-eight. What num-
bers: were supplied by other and minor or
ders, ard what numbers Of improved arms
had, before the great order, been deposited
in tie South. can not now be aseertaned.
We think il clear however, that the NUM-
ber of improved arms now in the South, oh.
tanned from the Federal Government, can not
be far short of one hundred and thirty-fiTe
thousand; and if we add those that have
been purchased by States and citizens from
other resources, we think it quite clear that
the South now possesses one hundred and
fifty thousand of the best arms in the world.
The question now arises, where are these
arms2 None of the five repositories named
above are located in Virginia. None Of the
arms they contained are now ip this Com
monwealth, except such as have been
brought in their hands by the gallant regi
mentJ who baFe come TO US from the South
ern States. 1t has been said that five thou
sand of the improved arms from the Fay
etteviIle Arsenal have been sent TO Virginia
by the Governor of North Carolina. If this
be 50, is this all that we can procure OF the
many, very many, we have shown TO be In
the Souih2 We trust that the authorities at
Montgomery will see TO this matter. Let
Us have no stint of arms in Virginia. Let
no battle be lost--let not the great cause be
inperilled by deficiency Of approved arms.

Democrats.

We speak to Union men when we ad-
dress the readers of the Democrat For
they are such from education, from con.
viction and from practice. The labors
and anxietics of the past have woven the
love of the Constitution and the interests
of our government into one, no event of
the times can shake the ancient loyalty of
the party to which we belong. Our oppo.
nents have taken new step, instead of
fighting us upon their old grounds and
haunting us for our loyalty and Union
love, they now assume great loyalty them
selves and strive by epithcts and SANDER to
draw us from those ancient landmarks
which have ever been the boast and glory
of our party. Let us not be shaken in our
firm purposes by their changes of name
or new sommersaults of principle, But
without needing the epithets and slander
by which they seek to provoke us into dis
loyalty, let US cling to the old Constitu
tional doctrines of our fathers, and the
new catch vote scheme of our opponents
will soon die away.

Stephen Baldy.

Hon STEPHEN BALDY having declined
the nomination, given him by this Repub-
lican Union Party, for Associate Judge
we notice by the last Republican that, the
Hon. George II. WiHits has been placed
upon their ticket in Baldys stead, The Rc-
publican, up town says; "Stephcn Badly
has done a very foolish thing" This is said
| in reference to Mr.. Baldy's having refused
to be a candidate upon the ticket formed,
as they say, by "thc people, (which was
nothing more than the Republican party,
say about it what they will. Mr.. Baldy
did not think he was doing "foolish
thing when he wrote that letter of decl.
nation. He is a man of sound judgment,
capable of doing and thinking for himself,
and if he has erred in this matter, he will
not blame the editor of the Republican,
Mr.. Badly is "unconditionally q Union
man. ALWAYS has been, and always ex.
poets to be; and he knowing the people to
be of that stripe, who first placed him in
nomination for Judge, he was, and is ever,
willing to travel in their company. He
holds the position at present for which he
is nominated, and the Democratic party Of
this county have made up their minds to
keep him there, and place by his side Hon.
John McReynods, who is also regular
nominee upon the Democratic ticket.

Our Candidate for Sheriff.

The office of Sheriff is of no little i'm
portance to the people of Columbia county.
1t is one of the best Offices in the gift of
the people of the county, and one which, it
is highly important, should be filled by
competent person. The candidate chosen
by the Democratic Conventon--Mr. JOSH
ah Ii. Furman--is, in tveryyespect, quaH.
tied TO fill The office Of Sheriff. We may
safely say that, no better man has been
before the people asking for their support
for this office since the county was formed.
He is everything that could be said of any
man IN his favor. We notice that the Re.
publican has published an article laudato>
ry of the Opposition candidatc-Mr. Stiles
claiming him to possess all the requisite
qualifications, and that he is still DEM
ocrat. We do not hope that he will claim
votes on that head, if he does, there is
democratic candidate in the field, who is
entitled to all the Democratic support
The democratic candidate is not running
on ticket that will allow him to be this
and be that for the sheer purpose of get
ting votes. lie is sound Democrat, and
always has been; more, is as good I'm
ion man as can be found in the county, the
whole Union Ticket included and will
be elected by an overwhelming majority,
There is no reason for not voting for Jo-
sIAH II. FURMAN; he is amply fit for tho
position to which he aspires; and on tho
war question he stands where all true
Democrats stand. He is an ardent sup
porter of the Government, and as support
ing ii every day both By men and treasure.
On that point, what is to be gained over
Mr.. Furman, for the Opposition Then,
on another point, he is a sound Democrat
co nsequently his opponent can have no ad
vantage in that respect. Our candidate is
the man for the people Hurrah for FUR.

MARKET STREET.

We supposed we had said enough on
this subject in the card which we submit
ted to the people of Columbia County,
previously to the nomination. We have
nothing to add to that; but we are in
formed that the republicans are making
use of the fact that we live in Bloomsbury,
as the foundation of an insinuation that we
might favor the project. Our position, we
now repeat, is unchanged but as a CON-
plete answer to whatever there might be
in such an insinuation we beg leave to say
that Emanuel Lazarus is supported for
the Legislature by the very men who have
always fayoured, and are now favoring the
widening of Market Street at the expense
of the County-by Deacon Waller, by
John X, Grotz, by McKelvy, Neal 4 Co.
and other prominent citizens of Blooms
burg, on the same side.
Those who have opposed it are for tn:
Democratic candidate and it may be a
well for the people of the County to re
member that the career of Emanuel Laza
rus as politician, is at any rate finished
and he may as well round it off, if he shoult
be elected, by passing the Market Stree
Bill, which his supporters desire, and t.
which the p'ople Of The County are opposed
More than one man who affects to believ
his neck politically broken, is proceedin,
to dig his grave by his present course; ant
nobody will be surprised at any exhibition
of "grand and lofty tumbling."

the men engaged in that work are sincere
