G. DuNHAM-Dear Sir: On the 10Th inst.
there was one of the greatest tornadoes passed
through this part of the country, ever known to
the Oldest Settlers. 1t commenced by hailing.
Hail stones, fell thick and fast, as large as hens
egg; then came the storm from the south west,
accompanied with heavy thunder and vivid
lightning. The storm spread oyer a strip of
country about two miles vide. The damage
done was considerable. 1t dashed to pieces two
story frame house belonging to Amos Butler
Ar. B. with his family were all in the house, and
what is remarkable, none were seriously hurt,
notwithstanding the house was all in fragments.
There was also log house belonging to Mr..
VIM. Arnett was all smashed in the general ruin,
the family were all in the house, Mr.. and Mrs.
A. considerably hurt, A building being repair
ed up for the Post Office at this place, was all
torn to smash, but no loss to the office. Almost
all the houses in the country was uncovered,
every fence blown down, and some places in In.
gart Grove, half the largest timber is blown or
twisted down. Such was the fury Of the storm,
the first we have had in this part of the coun-
try. God grant that it may be the last

grown rich and respectable in the Christian

aristocratic Commonwealth at once tumbles
down from its high pedestal to the level of .
free State. There can be no more respectable.
ty in Western Virginia at any rate--no more
cultivation aud refnement--no more chivalry-
no orthodox religion-no craftsmanship. For
these are inseparable from slavery. The degra.

q GOVERNOR JOHNSON SHIPS THE TRAroRs
NoRrH.-Captain c. II. Wood, of the Fifty-first
Ohio, with squad of four men, arrived in the
city this morning from Nashville, having in
charge Gen. Washington Barrow and Gen VIM.
G. Harding, of Nashville, and Col Joseph G.
GuilG, of Gallatin, three members of the Tcunes-

msnd of Gov. johnson, and ordered to be sent

the State Legislature of Tennessee, is very
prominent and influential citizen, and was par

tee at Nashville in arresting and sending North
at the breaking out Of the rebellion, all persons
obnoxious to the Confederate Government. I'm.
der his auspices, Mr. Pearl, of this city, was sum-
marify elected from his home. Ths.iatter gen.
te1nan called upon the party at the Michigan
Exchange, on learning of their arrival, express
ed his pleasure at meeting them here, and as.
sured them that a residence of six months with
US had convinced him that the Northerners were
very pleasant, hospitable race, and not nearly
SO bad as they had been represented to be-.
Gen. Harding belongs to one Of the. most
wealthy and aristocratc families of Tennessee.
Possessing an ample fortune In his own ritht. /,
has received large accessions by marriage, and
the General lives in style that equals the blood
ed aristocracy of old England. With ample
leisure to devote to the interests Of the South
err Government, he has made himself one of the
foremost of its leaders, and occupies one of the
very first positions in point of influence in his
State. Col. Guild is scarcely lees distinguished
and occupies prominent place among the lead
ers in his State.
