Tornadoes i'm Misslssippi.

Tie State Of Mississippi has been
visited, during the spring, with a success
sion Of destructive tornadoes Our ex-
changes from that State aIlude to two
that occurred last week The Meridian
Messenger, of the I'd, says:
Yesterday evening, at about half past
four, dark clouds gathered in the West
and Northwest, and for a few minutes
another storm seemed ready to burst
upon u.s. 1t stirred up huge volumes of
dust, but presently it was seen that it
would not strike here, but was passing
off northeasterly, and it was judged had
passed as near as Marion. By train
hands from the Mobile down freight, we
learn that it assumed the shape Of hur-
ricane, and passed near LOckhart, top
pling over trees and fences. One man
reported that he had not panel of fence
left standing. The Telegraph wires were
blown down by trees Our accounts are
meagre, but we fear much damage has
been done.
The jackson Clarion Of Sunday has
the account OF another
We learn that "a severe storm visited
Madison county yesterday morning be-
tween four'and five o clock. Trees were
blown in every direction, and fences were
leveled along its whole course. A Miss
Semmes is missing, aud il is feared she
was buried amid the ruins uf her moth
ers house, which was blown down.
Some chimneys were blown down in
Canton, and the streets almost entirely
blockaded The storm passed tOwsrGs
the northeast, aud 1t is feared much
damage has been done

Awful Outrage.

The Indianapolis Journal says A lit
tie girl, thirteen years old, belonging to
a Swedish family, living within two miles
of Calumet, when returning from Sab
bath school in the afternoon on Sabbath
week ago, was accosted by a deyilish
monster in the shape of a man, who
seized her and violated her person, leay-
ing her bleeding and so seriously injured
that il is believed she cannot recover.
The hell-hound was arrested, identified
by the girl, and lodged in Jail. Unfortu-
nately, however, he subsequently es-
capped and is now at large. The name
Of this internal seouhdrel is s. ii. Wood.
LATER The young girl living near
Calumet, upon whom the monster Wood
perpetrated rape, died from the injuries
received, and was buried on Friday last.
The villain is still at large.

Loyalty.

The able Washington correspondent OF
the ST. Louis Republican thus defines
loyalty, us interpreted by the Radicals :
Nor is it enough that you support and
defend the Constitution and the Union
unless you also hate everything and ey-
erybody south of the line of $500, and
pray that JEFF. Davis and his adherenis
should be shut up in the penitentiary
of hell, and kept there BY bay
onets - unless you love New
England, are member of her mutual
admiration society, and accept her teach
ings, political, social and religious, as a
divine inspiration unless you think that
the cotton, gold watches, plate, jewelry,
pianos, wardrobes, ETC., of Southern reb-
els are the lawful prize Of her soldiers
aud Christian missionaries; unless you
heartily rejoice over the plumber and
desolAtiUn of Southern homes, the burn
ing and saeking Of Southern cities, the
destruction Of their p1blic buildings and
archives, their churches, seats Of learn
ing and asylums; unless you accept Bat
Ter as true type Of heroism, honesty and
humanity, aud Cheever and Brownlow
as saints; unless you are willing TO let
the colored brethren ride with you in the
cars, vote with you at the polls, eat and
sleep with you at hotels, SIT beside you
at theatres, concerts and lectures, dance
with you at balls and represent you in
the halls Of Congress, in the State Legs
latures, and in all public agencies; I'M
less you favor negro equality, social and
political, in general, and negro domino
ton over the Southern States in particu-
lar; aud, in fine, unless you are Radi-
cal black Republican, you are not loyal

ABANDONED WITNESSES,
The following comes through ii

The following comes through the AS
ISOLATED Press dispatches
Much of the testimony recently taken
has been with reference to the aniece-
dents and characters OF the witnesses
who are relied upon to make out case
against DAVIS The testimony, he fears,
is damaging in the extreme to ne WIZ
nesses thus relied upon Most OF them
are shown to be abandoned characters
and villains of the deepest degree.
sIfi Immense labor has been performed
and q great amount of money expended
in an attempt to discover testimony I'M
plicating JEFFERSON DAVIS in an alleged
= plot TO assassinate Mr. LINCOLN. The
country has been advised, from time to
time, that the Congressional Committee
10 whom the subject was given 10 charge,
were progressing satisfactorily Evi-
dence was being obtained OF an unlmI
peachable character, amply sufficient 10

Northern press gloated from day 10 day
over the prospect Of the coming trial and
execution. Grave speeches and magiste-
rial editorials felciiated the country on
the discovery of the real ASSASSIN OF
"a LINCOLN, and discoursed of The enormiy
of his offense No man dared to suggest
moderation and woe TO him who ques
toned the guilt of the prisoner at For
tress Monroe 1t was foregone conelu-
sion. He was already convicted. All
that remained, to be accomplished was
the simple formality OF trial
At length public opinion began to ma
nifest some Impotence at the delay IN
announcing the evidence, and to think
that the country was about TO be cheated
of its great victim The committee were
called upon TO state reason for not re-
porting the evidence aud were censured
for delay. This pressure became so great
as to bring out the facts stated IN the
dispatch we have quoted above. For
twelve months the investigation of the
subject of DAVIS cemplicity 10 the as
sassination has been progressing in some
shape or other How many witnesses
have been examined is not known to the
public. but it is not unreasonable to infer
that a great multitude have been. Of
what the. evidence Is, the public is like
wise ignorant An we are allowed to hear
is, that most of the witnesses are shown
to be abandoned characters, and villains
of the deepest degree.
The case Of Mr.. DAVIS, it must be ad-
mitted, has wonderfully improved within
the past few months Whatever the te
timouy is, it is erparfe and when this
fact is taken with the aseertained char
.acter VI The wtnesses, We cannot find it
difficult to conclude thai the chWge of

ident LINCOLN will be- if it has not
already been, abandoned 1t was frenzy
that set that ball in motion, and, happily
for the honor Of the country, reason has
inierposed aud checked its headlong mo-
ton. The great State prisoner is now
to be put upon his trial for II political
Z offente. The only peril that threatens
him resides in the issue of that We
shall probably not have TO wait many
months for the verdict and solution of
the fate of the great ex-President Of the
