SEVERE STORM AT SHAMoKIS.-The Shamokn
Herald, of the 9th inst, says Between and
O'Clock on Sunday afternoon, perfect tornado Of
wind visited this place, driving clouds of dust before
it, and rendering it exceedingly unpleasant and dan
gerous to be out of doors 1t of but short dura
tion, however, and was succeeded by a refreshing
shower of rain, which had the effect of bringing the
mercury down from hundred and six in the shade
to point at which it was possible to breathe and
sleep with some degree Of comfort
While the wind was at its height, fence on tho
Longeneeker property was blown down, and three
children of Paul Heldt's who happened to be pass
ing at the time, were caught underit One of them,
little girl about years Of age, was dangerously
and it is feared fatally injured but the other two
escaped with only slight bruises. We have heard of
no other accident occurring to life limb, nor any
considerable damage being done to property in this

Special to the Louisville Journal. q
zWAsHINaroN, July a, 1868. = Mr.
Washburne's motion, TO reconsider the vote
by which adjournment was fixed for Mon
day next, was to-day laid on the table, so
that Congress will adjourn on Monday TO
meet again on the third Monday in Sep
tember. ia.es
The bill providing for the furnishing Of
arms to the Southern negroes has not yet
been reached. Its passage by the House
is now considered doubtful. The will TO
pass it is not wanting, but the popular in
dignation aroused by it has made even the
genus Radical pause before he attempts, for
purely party ends, to cohsummate so foul
an outrage ..s .l+ -'-.-. ~ ~
The bill reported from the Reeonstruc-
tion Committee to-day by Mr.. Bingham,
and which the house passed by a strict
party vote, gives to. the conventions Of the
States of Virginia, Mississippi and Texas
complete power over those States, and
makes it the duty of the district COM
manders to enforce their edicts. The bill
also makes it penal ofense for any one in
said States to vote or act as an officer of
election in the ensuing Presidential cleo
ton, and the President is required 10 pro-
hibit any such proceeding. The President,
of course, will not sign the bill, and the
adjournment of Congress on Monday set
ties its hash.
The nominations are being rapidly made,
but the confrmations are few aud far be-
tween. Rosecrans' was laid on the table;
McClernand has been sent to Coventry
Foote, Fox and Watts appointments are
confirmed probably. There is no report on
Jeffries' nomination yet; his chances, how
ever. are good. .... -. ..

A MAN FRIGHTENED To DEATH BY-
o.. A VISION

The Corinth (Mississsippi) GItnoaqE
of the 22nd instant says:
A strange and surprising incident oe..
cnrred last week in the country some miles.
north of Corinth. A Mr.. Mangrum killed
a young man during the war, and few
days since Mr.. Mangrum was on a deer
drive, and while at one of the stands he
saw an object approaching him which so
alarmed him that he raised his gun and
fred at it. The object, which resembled a
man covered with sheet, continued to ad.
vance upon Mr.. Mangrum, when he drew
his pistols and emptied all the barrels at
the ghost.
None of tSe shots seeming to take effect,
he climbed tree to make his escape. By
the time he was a short distance up the tree
the white object was standing under him
with It's eyes fixed upon him, and he de-
clared that it was the spirit of the young
man whom he had killed. Mangrum was
so startled at the steady gaze of the eye
that he had been the cause of laying cold
in death that he tainted and fell from the
tree. His friends carried him home, the
ghost following and standing before him
constantly, the sight of which brought up
the recollection of his guilt with such
force to his mind that he died, in great
agony, after two or three days suffering.

TERRIBLE AFFRAY.
One Man Killed and Another BADLY
Wounded. ......

Wounded. r.......
From the Covington Tenn) RECORD, j uly "a.
From a letter from our friend Esq. Wm.
Turnage, we obtain the following facts in
regard to the killing of Capt. Erwin. Ii
seems that he and several others we're in
a grocery drinking when some words pass
ed, and Capt. +. struck man by the name
of Shaffer with a tumhler cutting a terrible
cash under the ear and severing an artery.
While this was being dressed by Drs. Va
den and Lebby, Mr., Burnett made the
remark that he thought it very uncalled
for thing in Capt, Erwin striking the man.
This was told Capt. L. and he Immediately
commenced a quarrel with Burnett, but
was pacifed and started home, In about
twenty minutes, however, he returned and
cursing Burnett asked him if he intended
taking it up. Burnett told him no, but he
still thought it was uncalled for. Erwin
Immediately began to curse him and com
menced to draw his pistol. Burnett drew
his 6rst, and told Erwin not to draw his
pistol, if he did, he (Burnett) would kill
him. Erwin drew his pistol but before he
could shoot, Burnett shot him, the ball
striking him in the stomach inticting 3
mortal wound, of which he died the follow
ing day. Burnett was tried before Esquire
Turnage and acquitted. Capt. Erwln is
the man who killed DIR. Martin. IL seems
a little strange about the killing Of Erwin.
In 1861 or '62, DIR. Walton was killed by a
Mr. Yarbrough, short time afterwards
Capt. Smith killed Yarbrough, and in 1863
Dr. Martin killed Smith, and year atter
that Capt. Erwin killed Martin, and now
Erwin has been killed. The last thre'
men were killed ia forty yards Of each othe
At Randolph. Whisky was the cause O
the last tradegy, As all were good friend

THE PR0sPECTIN MIss0rRI

The St. Louis Republican, always mod

confidently of the election in Missouri. 1t
says; as '" .- Et"
"There is no doubt that the Radicals will
seek to avert a disastrous defeat by most
rigid and most unjust enforcement of the
infamous registration law, which Governor
Fletcher threatened to read to the people,
meaning the Democrats. Their only hope
of winning victory in November is in
this registration law, by which they expect
to exclude from the polls many thousands
of legal voters. But even with the aid of
that law they can not succeed. They are
in minority. Making the disfranchised
lists as large as they can, they will still be
/. in a minority in the State. Their party
has become Odious to thousands of its own
members, and is a stencil in their nOstrils.
They will cooperate with the Democracy,
insuring Democratic triumph in Novem
