THE CITY.
TERRIFIC TORNADO.
A Heavy Gust-DestructiOn of Fences
and ROofs-Imjury TO the Corn Crop.

About one o'clock yesterday afternoon, a
terrific storm, the heaviest known in these
parts for many years, visited this city and
vicinity, with an unusual display of light
ming, heavy peals of thunder and extraor-
dinary gusts of wind. The rain fell in tor
rents at first, but when the wind was high
est the water descended in sheets. The
wind Llew v ith tremendous violence from
the west, and swept over the city tearing
down fences and trees, and in several in
stances unroofng houses. The sheet iron
on the roof of Neil's building on the corner
of High and Gay streets, was ripped off by
pieces, and carried into the middle Of the
street where they fell with loud crashes.
The roof on the steeple of the North
School House, on Long street, was torn of,
and carried considerable distance. Fences
were Frustrated in all directions, and some
board fence on Gay street seemed to have
been lifted out of its place and carried a
distance of thirty feet. Many of the fine
shade trees in different parts OF the city
were twisted off at the top by the force cf
the wind, while others were blown over.
The gale swept across the Scioto valley,
leveling the corn with the earth as 1t went.
Considerable damage was in this way M
flicted upon the crop, but its extent can not
be correctly estimated. In the open coun-
try rail fences were whirled in the air and
scattered in all directions. The storm
seemed to have exhausted its strength up
on the city, for to the east its track was not
so distinctly marked as it was on the west
side.
Strange to say amid all this promiscuous
tumbling down of roofs and chimnies, and
whirling about of fences, we have not heard
ofa serious accident resulting from it.
One man standing in the door of a shop was
knocked down by the pole of an awning
which was torn to shreds by the tornado,
but his injuries were not severe. The over
whelming force of the rain which In mo-
ment flooded the streets and cutters, kept
people In theic houses, and out of the way
OF the flying missiles. 1t is probable that
we shall hear accounts of wide spread dev-
astation by the storm in other parts of the
country, for its effects were noticeable else
where, outside of the limits of the city.

ST. JOSEPH, July 2O-Thornton's guerril-

The New York Herald regards the re-

The New York Herald regards the re-
turn of Vallandigham to Ohio as the
result of a conspiracy between the Presi-
dent and the exile, to damage the party
that is to deploy into the field through
the Chicago Convention. The Herald
says:
His (V.'s) return and the circumstan-
ces connected with it bear very strong
evidence of a preconcerted arrangement
on the part Of the Administration and
Vallandigham's friends, which is nothing
more nor less than q political electioneer-
ing dodge They consider, as the Trib-
une declared yesterday, that Vallandig-
hams open advocacy and his participa-
ton in the campaign as In advocate OF
the Chicago nominee will drive thou
sands of war Democrats over to the sup
port of Lincoln and johnson. For the
reason he is more available to the mana
ging politicians at Washington at hon.
on the stump than hidden away in Cana
ada"
The Herald goes on to show that the
Democratic party. in 1863, fooled itself
away with Fernando Wood, Vallandig-
ham, and Tom Seymour policy, and con-
cludes:
The Republican leaders, realizing this
fact, are 10 perfectly willing that VAL
landigham shall return and make all
the fuss that he pleases. They have no
objection to his being elected q delegate
to Chicago, and lionized there to the full
est extent, believing that it viii repeat
the result of last year by causing a di-
version of q strong vote from the Chicago
nominee to the Baltimore ticket 1t is
a shrewd game of the Republicans. Let
Us see if the Democracy have learned
wisdom by the experience of the past"

June %, 6 A. NJ.

June %, o A NJ
Wilson'S division Of cavalry moved of
in the direction of the Weldon Railroad
When last heard from they had reached
Rive's Station, and were tearing up the
track along the road.
The I'd and 9th corps moved from their
old position on the right toward the Vel
don Railroad.
Gen. Lee seems to nave anticipated the
movement by our left flank, or else he de-
signed to turn our right. When near the
Jerusalem Plank Road the two corps
were confronted by Gen. Hills corps and
a smart engagement ensued.
A battery of the 18th N. Y, artillery
was annoying the nemy who succeeded
in getting around the flank and charged.
The infantry supporting the battery
were surprised and after a faint show of
resistance retired, leaving 4 guns in the
hands of the enemy.
Our line was then reformed, the men
were becoming accustomed to Lees new
practice of acting entirely on the defen-
sive and must have been confused by his
bold and sudden onset.
Two divisions of the 5th corps were
within easy supporting distance on the
right, and the 9th corps was ready for
any hostilities on the left.
Charges were made by the rebels who
suffered severely with each fresh assault.
There was heavy firing in front of the
9th corps about midnight.
At times the musketry broke out into
regular volleys and all night our cannon
kept firing.

The Armxfn Georgia.


From the Nashville Union of Tuesday. June q.
We have just received Information that,
on the 10th, Hooker attacked Lost Noun
tain, and carried a portion of the rebel
works, capturing over 900 prisoners and
u cannon. About 400 of the prisoners
are here now, and others are expected to
arrive soon.
The position captured BY Hooker, and
he now holds it, is of the highest impor-
lance, as it is on the extreme left of the
rebels; and opens the way for a flank
movement, which hitherto has been ex-
tremely difficult. If he succeeds in dri-
wing the rebels from their works entirely,
they can be hanked with ease. and COM
PEELED TO evacuate their present strong,
and We may add, last, position, for they
can make no successful stand south of it.
If they al not hold their present works,
they can have little hope of making a
stand anywhere.
Schotield, at the same time, attacked
and captured Pine Hill, a highland be-
tween the Lost and Kenessaw Mountains,
from the top of which Sherman counted
the houses in Marietta. The rebels were
driven from their works at the point of
the bayonet, and many were captured
This position was subsequently, abandon
ed by our forces.
The reason for the abandonment of the
hill was this: Until Lost Mountain was
entirely in our possession, Jul troops
would be constantly exposed to q CALLING
fire, both from the right and left, which
could be no other than very destructive.
1t is, perhaps, the weakest point in the
rebel lines, and fall into our hands with
out a struggle when we get possession OF
Lost Mountain.
A large number of small arms were
picked up on the field, thrown down by
the retreating rebels. Of the number
we have no accurate information.
A note stuck on a bayonet, found on
the field, bore the following inscription:
" You id Yankee s--ns oil
b-hes have killed our old General
Polk"
We have no estimate of the killed and
wounded on either side, but presume il
was large. The advantages gained are
substantial, and must lead to others o.
still greater Importance.
LATER.
A gentleman who left the front on Fri
day evening arrived here yesterday P. n
He reports a heavy battle on our right, or
Friday, and that the losses on both side
were very great. Of the result he knew
nothing. Large numbers of wounded
were being brought back to Big Shanty

New YoRK, June "a.

The headquarters correspondent of the
DIST, to the Philadelphia Enquirer says
Events of considerable moment may be
shortly looked for. Our lines have been
extended on our left so as to cut the Pc
fersburp & Weldon r. R., thus effectually
intercepting the line of communication
between Richmond and the Gulfand sea-
board States.
Distant artillery firing was heard to the
left to-day, probably Wilson's cavalry en-
gaging some force of the enemy.
Our base at City Point is one of the best
we have had during the entire campaign.

Rebels made a rear attack IN Wright'i
and Hancock's corps, and captured
four guns of Knights regular battery,
and took 400 men, being a well deple
ted regiment. Our men were rallied,
re-took the ground and captured 2OC
prisoners.
The Commercial says the high prices
have brought out plenty of gold which
is bought in small lots at about 90, by
the brokers, and sold at 2l3 q 2I5, but
no large amounts can be sold at that
figure.
A sale of $50, 600 was made at 215.
Parties from Washington say the gold
law will be modified in favor of the rise
of stocks.
The Post learns from the best official
authority that Grants losses, in killed
from the time of leaving the Rapidan IN
til reaching the James River, was not
oyer 40, 900 men.
The wounded is less than 5000, a large
majority of the injuries being very slight.
The permanent loss in the army will
not be over 10000.
