TeYrtbIe Storm.

The N. o. Picayune learns rom .ne
Onelousas Courier, of the 23d, that ter
ribIe storm recently passed over Oalca
s;tu. which resulted in disaster, anu
spread terror among the inhabitants OF
the country along its route. A report
fror, Lake Charles was received at Ope-
lonsas. which represents that the cit
;zens of the former place were much e1
cited and were preparing boats to go TO
the rescue of the victims of the calamity.
IL was supposed that the Grand Chenlere
had been submerged by the back water
from the Gulf. Fragments OF fur
niture. houses, etc, were found tioatlng
IN the river several miles north OF the
town.
/ Information has also been received at
Opelousas that aesstornado had passed
over Niblett's Bluff, on Sabine river, on
the 18th, which lett but two or three
houses standing in the village.
The Galveston Civilian, Just received,
has a letter from Sabine Pass, describing
the storm as terrific there on the lo'h
inst 1t commenced room in the morning,
with a high tide and a rong gale from
the northeast, followed by heavy rain.
The wind veered to- the north, north
west and west. Several houses were
blown down !; several moved from their
foundations the front of Writings

ted but fortunately no one was hurt.
The writer says further We, how
ever, got much more sad account from
Oranee on the. Sabine. A rehable mes,
senger reports that place as blown into
fragments, except :. three little cottage
houses, said to have been shielded with
shrubbery and shade trees. Russell S
house was blown down on their children
and some others who We e there, all OF
whom were badly Injured. At latest &C
counts the eldest daughter. was said to be
dying. Many others, we hear, are sui
fering with broken limbs and severe
bruises, and nearly all left without a
shelter.
On Johnson's Bayou. in Louisiana, we
hear the storm was terrifc-blowing
down many houses. One young man
was killed We hear of other disasters,
but it will probably be several days before
we learn all.

Our Repressntatives.

Robert Leachman, Esq, was elected to
the Senate without opposition from the
counties of Lauderdale and Newton. Mr..
Leachman has been prominent member
Of the bar in this county for many years,
but heretofore has never been candidate
for office. He is gentleman Of fine
practical sense, good address, and will
make most useful member.
w. G. Grace and Joel P. Walker were
elected to the Legislature from Lauder
dale. They are both young men of more
than ordinary ability, and we have no
doubt will discharge their duties as rep
resentatives creditably TO themselves and
their constituents. Both were in the
army and made good soldiers. Captain
Grace was elected to the Legislature two
years ago by very fattering vote, while
with his company in Gen. Johnston's
army. As well as our Senator, they will
be firm supporters ofthe Presidents re
construction policy, and will fully sustain
the action Of the late Convention. Else

pliment TO these young gentlemen from

1--WE have given as our opinion that the
late Constitutional amendment grants the
negro the right to sue in court and to tes
hfy as witness, his credibility to be
Judged by the court and jury - Clarion.
We have given as our opinion, that the
right to testify as witness" WAS not
granted to the negro by 'the late Con-
stitutional amendment" ne def The
any ta,0yer of prominence ,cho SuStainS his
o..:ninn The ,oAole matter is left to he con
News.
And believing that the late constitu
tional amendment which abolished slavery
abolished all laws which constituted a
part'of the policy of the system of slavery,
and in declaring that the negro shall be
protected in his person and property, es-
tabhShes principles which, of themselves, en-
HRe Me negro to sue and be sued, and as a
necessary incident TO such right, tkathe is made
competent as 0itneSS, according to the laws
ofevldence of the State "-G0v. ShGrkey's
Iroclamatton Of the 25h September.
1t will be seen from the above that the
position of the Clarion has been fully and
completely sustained by no less lawyer
than Gov. Sharkey, who, as Chief Justice
of the Supreme Court of Mississippi, ac-
quired reputation second to no jurist in
the United States. We merely ventured
an opinion, his proclamation makes it THE
LAW.
This distinguished gentleman, the &C
credited representative of President J ohm
son in the State, has decided the matter
at issue between the Clarion and the
News. He has decided it in oar favor.

allied forces, remained motionless, but
concentrated, at Concordia, waiting the
attack. The Brazilian feet, ON the Pa

would construct batteries below, and so
gain command ofthe river. The magni-

Colonel, stalWart and strong, after the
riddling wounds received on so many
battle fields where he had played dis

caused less joyous scenes to be forgotten

the gratifying results of this visit will be
the laying of double track on the

distance on the Erie road about 20 miles :
the building of a railroad bridge across

that will cost some $5,000,000, and the
extension of the branches of the Atian-
