OF PROPERTY.

Correspondence Of the Union and American
SPRINGmLL. TENNESSEE, June 9Th. lSf6.-We
were visited last evening. between sunset and
dark. by the most terrific tornado and hail storm
that has passed through this section of the coun-
try since 1884 OF 1895. The first serious damage l
have heard of was on the plantations of W. W.

A REVEREND REFORMER'S EXPE-
RIENCE.

One EUsTTs, delegated by certain Of the
aAintly hypocrites of New England to visit
New Orleans, and establish Puritan syna-
gogue, has returnedto his people, and deliv-
cred his experience and the result of his
labors.
Inlanguage of Unparalleled impudence and
arrogance he describes his advent into that
benighted and morally blighted city, and
the wonderfully purifying effect Of his
teachings He can find nothing to liken il
TO except the shifting of the waters in the
creation, which divided the armament from
the waters beneath. lie, EUsTIs, and his
colleagues touched that plague-spot of South
srn heathenism, and 10 it was made whole
all except the freedmen, for he narrates
fact which leads him to e1claim. "Nou
wee, then, that the freedmen sadly need in
struction in New Orleans"
The fact alluded TO was that within
a stones throw Of his room were two broker
age offices for supplying colored laborers TO
planters and others-one kept by an agent
OF the Freedmen's Bureau, and thoroughly
"loyal" man; the other by a rebel officer of
high rank, who was Intensely disloyal, as
all such men are" And-here comes in the
misery--the office of the "rebel officer was
constantly tbronged With colored people
seeking employment, while that ofthe Fede-
raj agent was Stunned by them, as if there
was something contaminatingin "loyap men.
The freedmen of New Orleans couldn't APP
preciate the perfection claimed by this Con-
necticut saint and his loyal associates, and
preferred to entrust their business matters to
an accursed "slave-driver" Oh : woe is

. MALIGNANT WITNESS.

TheCiucinnati Gazette Of the 9th publishes
the statements Of a Captain MAcKEy, given
before the Congressional Reconstruction
Committee, which we are inclined TO doubt T;
first, because it is the evidence of one who
seems so lost 70 due sense Of propriety as
to become a swirl and convenient witness
against people with whom he had co-oper-
ated for four years and secondly, from its
inherent improbability. He is most likely
some disappointed man who has private
grief 10 revenge, and thinks there's no better
way Of doing it than assisting to sacrifice the
Southern people to the Moloch Of Radical
vengeance.
He arraigns the people Of Texas and the
Southern Trans-Mia,issippi rebel depart
men,, as openly and defantly disloyal, and
charges General +. KIRBY SMITH with
COLLISION with LOUIS NAPOLEON in designs
upon the Texas frontier.

sTEPHENs-O'MAHOxEY -ROBERrs.

From the New York World
The vigor displayed by the Sweeney Rob
erts Fenians gives the so-called Senate party
the practical control of the IRISH movement
for the future. O'Mahoney got great deal
of money, and has absolutely nothing to show
for it. His and Killian's Campo Bello ex-
petition was absurd alike in conception and
execution. Head-Centre Stephens has failed
to make any impression upon the American
Fenians, notwithstanding4he romance which
attached to his name before he arrived, for
the reason that his cry was for money with
out at the same time giving any assurance
that he would do anything with it. The
Senate organization had their plans laid be-
fore he arrived, and did not care to give
them up at his dictation. The present move
ment will, in all likelihood, fail; but the
fight at Ridgeway and the swarms of armed
men that are pressing to the border show
that there is money, brains, and real militia
ry executiveness in the Sweeney Roberts
party. OMahoney and Killian are no where,
while Stephens must modestly take back
seat and give place to the men who have
actually taken the field. Whatever fortune
or ill-fortune may attend General Sweeney
and his party, he and they are sure of the
unanimous support of the Irish population
in the one case and their warmest sympa-
thies in the other.

- SATAN WILL SOON APPEAR IN
lOUR MIDST"

Placards conveying this terrific intelli-
gence were handed about Charleston, :. c..
one night last week. We have not heard
whether he came, nor in what shape, or for
what purpose, but the Courier of that city is
right when it SAYS:
The placard is behind the time. and be-
hind the truth. Satan is already among us.
though it may be he has put on clerical
costume, and is modestly preaching to the
freedmen on the question of ways and
means"
If Satan Is the principle Of evil, he is
making himself manifest all over the coun-
try, and the Circulator of the Charleston
placard showed little wit in his mode of
creating n sensation. There is nothing novel
or startling about him. He has been here.
and given public exhibitions, horns, hoof,
forked tail and all. lie has established his
terrestrial headquarters at Washington CITY.
and displays his power daily through able
agents. It's a stale card to try to frighten
the people of this country by telling them
the devil is to pay.

STATE NEWS.

THE METROPOLITAN POLICE IN MEM.
PHIs.--The Appeal, Of Wednesday, says:
The recently appointed Police Commits
sioners returned from Nashville Monday,
duly commissioned. The term of office was
determined by lot, and we are informed Mr.
Richards drew the longest term, for eight
years. Mr.. Beaumont for six years, and Mr..
Burditt for four years. The Commissioners
have determined on adopting the New York
city system, with certain necessary mOdifca-
tons, and have already taken the initiatory
steps to this end. The force is to number
one hundred men and three officers and
applicants must be of good moral character,
free from physical disability, be able to read
and write, and possess satisfactory recon-
mendations from respectable citizens The
pay IL SlOO in currency per month for pri-
Yates. The board will receive IMPLICATIONS
on and after this day. They desire to COM
plete the organization as speedily as possible;
and it is intended the new system shall go
into operation on the first day of July. We
hear numerous applications have already
been made for positions, and great many
more will doubtless be presented. For SUI
perintendent Gen. Smith, of HarGeman, and
an ex-ofiicer late OF the Federal Gen
Neatch's staff, are the most prominent can
didates. They are also to have a surgeon,
with good pay, but we have not learned who
is to have this last named position.
- We learn from the Paris Iatelligencer
that there is to be near Paris on the Sth of
October, a centenary celebration of Ameri-
can MethOdism-it being the hundredth an
niversary. A monument on the old camp
ing ground, near Manly's Chapel, in honor
of the memory of the oldest ministers who
oficiated there, and those who are inferred
in the burial ground, is to be built. Gen
eral J. ID. c. Atkins has been requested to
address the public on the occasion of the
celebration, in support Of the monumental
enterprise.
-A At a recent meeting of the Bar of
Henry county, We learn from the Paris In
fciliqencer, on motion of Colonel James ID.
Porter, Jr., resolutions were passed in res
pect to the memory of Col. Calvin d. Ven
able, Col Edward Fitzgerald and Col Jona-
than Lamb, each Of whom were talented and
highly honorable members of the legal pro-
fession, and officers in the Confederate
Army, who fell in battle.
The Bolivar Tenn Bulletin of the ID,
says: "Great damage has been done to
wheat, the rust making its appearance in
many of the finest fields. The cold weather
has injured the cotton plant to some extent,
to what degree, however, it is impossible to
determine as yet. We hear of complaints
the ravages of cut worms; though
the foraging of these destructive little crea-
lures is principally confined TO garden
spots"
- The Knoxville Commercial of Wednes-
day contains a broadside from Col. +. S.
HEIsKELL upon Gov. BRowNLow, which is
the severest document that has probably
ever appeared in the newspaper literature
of Tennessee.

Kerrigan has also been arrested. Tho Fsniars
are very Respondent here to-day. Their leaders
say they can do little more for the cause by in
vading Canada.
Roberts has refused to accept bail or give his
parole. He is under guard confined in a store
house.
BosToS. June 7.-Special dispatches from st.
Adams state that orders were received last night
to arrest Gen. Spear. as well as Gen. Sweeney. but
the former suddenly changed his quarters on
horseback shortly before midnight The opinion
was expressed that Gen. Sweeney was DESTROYS of
being taken. as he had plenty of time to get away.
heavy storm prevailed during last night and
this morning. Thirty Fenians left St. Adams last
night for Boston. refusing to pay their fare, and
threatening to burn the town if put of the cars.
The advance of the Fcnian army was at East

The INFLUENCE OF LOUIS NAPOLEON
As an evidence Of the power welded by
Napoleon III in the affairs Of Europe, the
London Times, Of May %, says:
q An intimation from the Emperor Of the
French that he is in earnest opposed 10 the
war and will take definite and ineligible
course immediately against the first aggres-
scr on lts breaking out, would have more
effect than the deliberations of any European
Congress. We have no doubt that he pos
sessed the power, had he chosen 10 use it, to
prevent the storm. 1t may be a question
whether 1t has not now acquired dimensions
which even his skill is unable 10 subdue."
