AWFUL CALAMITY.
The Terrible Hurricane at Chester, Ill


An awful calamity has fallen upon our city
spreading deso1ation and death among our
friends and fellow citizens, and extending
o;er adjacent portions of the comfy.
About two O'clock this morning terrific
tornado burst upon the lover part Of Cles-
ter, along the river front; which for dcstruct-
ivcness exceeded anything ever known IN thls MS
SUI that the lower end Of our city and Nc
nard are almost IN entire mass of ruius. The
pathway Of the fatal tornado Is marked by de-
yastation, ruin and death. Some Of our most
esteemed citizens have perishcd in the awful
catastrophe. Three persons in Chester are o.
Haskins, and a little girl living with Captain
Morey's family. Two or three others are said
to be fatally injured, and fifteen or twenty
more of our citizens more OF, less seriously
wounded: More than twenty buildings are
destroyed, the most Of them an utter mass Of
ruins, while many others are partially dam
aged. About thirty families are left destl-
tnte, without roof to shelter their heads, or
a garment to cover them, save what they hnd
on their persons, and except what has been
furnished them BY friends. j..
Captain Williams steam fcr1y-boatE Ills a

fee, costing several thoueand dollars, Is a
mass Of broken bricks and mortar. Several
persons have been badly injured. Some have
! had legs broken, others have had arms
broken, while many are badly bruised OF cut
by the falling Of flying timbers. The scene Of
/, devastation along the path Of the Storm
King beggars description. Wherever the fu.
i rioas tornado touched building, it absolute,
| II gntted it. Persons, furniture, beds, cook,
!! ing stoycs and eyc,y conceivable thing, large
o. small, were lifted like feathers and borne
! to great distances or hurled to atoms. Many

..No troops could live under the fire

question. Our troops were marched up

PHILADELFHIA, Nav 24.-The inquirer

SoUTH SIDE NORTH ANNA, near JERICHO
BRIDGE, May 25-2 T.. M.-The rebels
are in our front, and prisoners have been
taken during the las - hours from three
rebel generals-Ewell, Hill and Long
street. Over 400 prisoners were taken
from brigade of South Carolinians by
the Pennsylvania Reserves under Craw
ford, who made a charge on our extreme
right after Warren had crossed the North
Anna on the road leading to Beaver
Landing.
Our troops have torn up and complete
" destroyed nearly six miles of track
on the Virginia Central, west Of Saxon 5
Junction.
We are now but one days forced
march from Richmond, in a fine open
country. There is plenty of good pasture
for our horses, but nothing for the men
except what has been brought along.
The enthusiasm Of our army knows
no bounds. while the morale of the
rebels, Judging from their wounded
prisoners falling into our hands, is in
very bad condition. The weather is

Our State Ticket.

While our gallant troops in the field
are now charging all along the lines up
on the enemies of the Cnion-rebels in
arms, it behooves those of us at home TO
prepare for a victorious charge upon the
enemies of the Union at home, by the
triumphant election of our whole Union
Ticket Indiana has become famous in
this war. Hername is tower of strength
in the army, and her brave troops have
inscribed her name in blood, upon almost
every battlefield No man can read the
history of the achievements of Indiana
regiments in this struggle, without feel
ing that it is a proud honor to be called
an Indianian. But to maintain tie honor
won for her by her soldiers, the victory
al the ballot box in the coming fall cleo
tion must be complete, Overwhelmingly
complete, full corps of unconditional
State officers elected, together with q
legislature and then our soldiers in the
field will feel that Indiana honors them
as they have honored Indiana.
We say to our friends, then, organize
organize everywhere, for a vigorous cam
paign, so as to be ready, when the can
vas fairly opens, to meet the enemy with
a well organized force, and thus insure
success. Sometimes a great deal is lost
by over estimating orr own strength,
and under estimating the strength of the
foe A wise General will be very care
full not to act so foolish, but with the ut
most vigilance will guard against every
emergency. Let us do the same, and
remember the maxim of Napoleon that
nothing is done while anything remains
to be done Now, more than ever be
fore Eternal vigilance is the price OF
Liberty
The great heart of the masses of Indi-
ana, is loyal. The people are good and
true, devoted to the Government, and
desire to vote square out for the Union.
And il is the duty of the Press and the
standard bearers of the people, to see
that they are net led estray. Let the
Union fires be kindled, and burn bright

Garments Of Mourning.

Putting on black as a sign of mourn
ing was an essentially heather custom,
indicating the horror of death, and that
all beyond the grave was a blank Mrs.
Ware, in her very useful little book,
Death and Life has some excellent
remarks upon this custom. The early
Christians recognized the new aspect
which the knowledge immortality gave
to the death of the body. and they soon
ceased TO use the signs of mourning for
the dead that till then had been universal
They felt that it was wrong to mourn for
the dead; and their epitaphs in the Roman
catacomls still testify to the peaceful
trust and the hopeful assurance that ami
mated the minds oftLose who there depos-
tied the mortal remains. often sealed with
the blood OF martvrtlom, of those they
held most dear Among the thousands
of inscriptions still to be read there, is
no Illusion to be found to the grief of
tAose who were left to perform the last
Offices to their friends No iconsolable
relatives immortalized their tears on
these walls. The simplicity Of q child
like fiji that to die here was to live in
the mansions of the all loving Father
seems to have been the Astounding source
whence flowed the countless phrases that
speak of death as always n good rather
than an evil The bad Latin in which
many of the Inscriptions are couched
proves that a large proportion Of the
dead were of the lower and little educa-
ted classes; hut all ranks seem to have
been actuated by the same spirit Selfish
grief finds no expression there; and the
historians tell us that all signs of mourn
! ing in dress were deemed uniting in

Under the above caption the special
correspondent of the New fork Tribune
writes rs follows of the bravery of the
new Indiana troops under General Hovey
in the second days fight at Resaca:
About O'Clock p. NJ. after the enemy
had been driven away from another posi-
ton on the left, where gorge puts
through the hills toward Resaca, the
enemy made two successive eff brts of 4
most determined character to retrieve
his position A heavy force was hurled
forward at the center of General Hovey 5
division of new Indiana troops The
men were all. or nearly ALL fresh from
their homes. and many had never been
under fire The ground was swampy,
and everything conspired to give at least
temporary success to the rebel charge.
They came on with 4 whoop and yell as
if they would carry all before them, but
the Indiana boys met them more than
half way, charging upon the double quick
across. Colonel Case, of the 18th was
prominent, leading on his men in the
most gallant style The flat was literally
swept like hail, and cniilading batteries
rained sharpnell and threw shells into
their ranks. The rebels staggered and
gave way, falling back faster than
they came, and leaving their front
covered with dead and wounded.
Later in the afternoon the rebs made
q similar attempt with renewed vigor,
but met with the same desperate and de
termined repulse. The praise Of the
Indiana troops is in everybody 5 mouth
