A Tornado on the Hudson.

a dispatch from Poughkeepsic, New
York, dated 10th, says:
GA singular freak of the winds occurred
in the Highlands, near Cold Spring, about
2 o'clock yesterday morning. at that hour
there was scarcely ripping Of the water
in Newburgh bay, nor was there wind Of
any note south Of West Point. The moon
at the time shone brightly, and many ves-
scls were drifting North and South. The
sloop Mary Warner, bound North, had
rassed Cold Spring, when a terrific gust
Of wind awooped down from the noun
tains, striking the vessel with full force and
before her sails could be taken in, upset
her.
"Eappily, the crew, with great excrtion,
escaped drowning. The next vessel was
schooner, also bound North. The tornado,
with its force not the least abatcd, struck
her Also and drove her ashore on Stay
Point, where she now lies in bad cOndi-
ton. The next vessel to feel the effects of
the hurricane was the slOop Surprise, of
Poughkeepsie. She was thrown on her
beam ends, but managed to reach safe an
chorage without damage. Then followed
the sloop Illinois. She entered the circle
of the tornado while her crew were en-
deaToring to get IN sail, but they were too
late. The wind struck her with great vio-
renee, anu Sle, LOO, was uTlEeu ashore Oh
Stony Point. The schooner j. NJ. Clark,
Of Providence, came next. and was hurled
ashore on Stony Point as quickly as her
predecessors after which the wind lost it's
strength. The tornado was apparently
about one mile III width, and travelled from
East to West. It is possible that damage
has ensued from it in the interior"

IMPEACHMENT In EUROPE.

The London Tlmes-NothIng to Justify the
of the Case. &c.
The great state trial of the New World
is rapidly approaching it's close, and any
hour may now bring US intelligence of the
Judgment pronounced upon Andrew John
son by the American Senate. tbs strange
end of mighty confict-a singular exam
pie of political bathos. The most gigantic,
costly and sangulnary struggle ever known
has dwindled into prosecution, of which
we, in this country, can only think that it
need never have been instituted at ALL
Whether the President of the Republic did
or did not commit the offences imputed to
him is question which it really seems
hardly necessary to entertain, SO plain does
the conclusion appear, according to Eng
lish opinions, that these offences were not
such as should have put him upon his trial.
The whole charge against President
Johnson amounts to little more than
this-that he placed himself in opposi-
ton to Congress. The Executive and
the Legislatuse have been for some time
at variance, but that is misfortune which
might occur at any time. The COnstltu-
ton gave powers to Congress and powers
to the President. and it was always posi-
BILE that these authorities might differ in
opinion. No QuuD5 such an antagonism
might be carried by President to such q
point and be supported by such measures
as would justify an impeachment, but it
seems impossible to regard in such light
as this any Of the proceedings ascribed to
Mr.. Johnson. That he did not sympathize
with the views Of Congress is, of course,
notorious, but in America opinions are
Io
respect of Congress may be admitted, but
in America speech is very free, indeed
We know of nothing said by the President
on this subject which might not have been
said of Parliament OR Ministers here with
out creating more than passing remark,
and certainly members of Congress have
spoken as hardly of Andrew Johnson as
ever he spoke of them. There was po-
litical feud between the parties, and party
feeling ran high but as things go in Amer
lea, and, indeed, in all free countries, it
seems out of all measure to make angry
words the ground of solemn impeach
ment.
The legal aspect Of the case may be a
fair question for American lawyers to de-
termlne, but even on this point there ap
pears, at any rate, as much to be said for
the President as should have saved him
from this prosecution. A law was passed
by Congress, ayowedlv in prejudice to Mr..
Johnsons authority, to the effect that it
should not be competent for the President
to remove from Office certain Ministers of
State. This law was designed expressly to
bride Mr.. johnson and prevent him from
any member of the Cabinet
whose sympathies might be rather with
Congress than with the President. Mr..
Stanton, Minister of War, had been ap-
pointed to his place by Mr.. Lincoln, and
President Lincoln could at any time have
removed him. Congress desired that Pre- |
sident Johnson should not possess this |
power over one of it's own allies, and there
fore passed the bill which rendered the |
tenure of Office in question independent Of |

Anarchy In the esouth-''Somebody's Got to

Leave"
The results of the late elections, for all
practical purposes, in North and South
Carolina, Georgia and Louisiana, appear,
after all, to be thoroughly radical. The
Democrats here and there are putting in
complaints of frauds, and Investigations
will probably follow in various districts;
but, doubtless, they will end in smoke
The simple truth is that the outside South
ern States are in that condition Of politica!
decentralization which may be pronounced
Southern anarchy. The new organization
of parties from VirG mia to Texas, on the
dividing line of race and color, has brought
about a state Of things which has been apt
ly described by philosophical African Ill
these suggestive words: De fac is, we's
beginnin to tink dere is too many kinds
of people down yer. Dere is de whites
an de blacks an de Yankees. OATS too
many to get along well, and somebody IS |
got to leave" This is the prevailing idea
of Southern society to-day somebody IS |
got to leave;' and this is the idea which
underlies all the political movements on
both sides in the States concerned directly |
in the business Of reconstruction, and it is |
at the bottom of all these secret Southern |
political associations such as the Loyal
Leagues and Ku Klux klans. The exist |
ing law and order OF the South is simply a
suspension of hostilities between the whites |
and blacks in the presence of the United |
States army. The whites, chatting under !
the astounding innovations of negro equal
ity and universal negro suffrage and white |
disfranchisement, are not IN the mood tor
anything like determination and the ig- |
norant blacks, presumlng upon their
strength at the polls and the protection OF
Congress, and full of false notions OF equal |
ity, are ready for anything in the proaecu-
ton of this terribly significant IDEA that
somebody's got to leave
The solution of this problem will not,
perhaps, appear, till after the restoration
of the States concerned to both houses OF
Congress, as reconstructed under the Rad |
ical programme. Then, under the belief
that all the Southern troubles are over, |
there will doubtless be a considerable /
movement in the tide of Northern emigra-
ton. white and black, from the West to |
the South, and then we may expect to
see a considerable selling out and exodus
of Southern white landholders for some
other country, for under negro supremacy, |
if established on the restoration OF these |
States with the army still on hand to en-
force it, the Southern whites, III numerous
moving detachments, will settle the ques
ton that '' somebody's got to leave" Will
the South, then, become an African para
disc or pandemonium under this policy OF
Radical reconstruction ? From present ap-
it will not be an inviting region
for settlement to any white man who Is not
for negro supremacy In the State
and negro equality in the family; but "it is

Outrage by IA Negro on a White

Girl.
One night last week, while Mr.. Corne-
Illus Smith, of Laurel Mills, Rappahannock
county, Va, was detained in this place, q
negro man in his employ took horse from
his stables and went to the residence of
Mrs. Noakes, the mother-in law of Mr..
Smith, and told one of her daughters, an
exceedingly interesting young lady, yet in
her teens, that Mrs. Smith, her sister had
been taken suddenly i'll, and that he had
been sent with horse upon which she was
to go over at once. The young lady
started, accompanied by the 1egro on foot.
When they reached the Rappahannock he
insisted land this was doubtless his pre-
arranged plan) that she allow him to ride
over on the horse behind her she refused;
he then seized her and dragged her from
the horse, beat and choked her most
cruelty, and bit the flesh from her shoul-
ders and arms in shocking manner, in
many places. Fortunately, before he had
accomplished his fendish purpose, the
horse got away, and while he was attempt
ing to secure him, she escaped by fOrding
the river and running to q neighbor's
house some distance off, and at whose door
she was found shortly afterward in an in
sensible condition. The negro was arrested
or the following morning Shame upon the
man who took him alive; he confessed his
guilt, and is now confined in the Kappa

Surrounded with dangers unknown to Us then.

Let me dangle thee, darling,
Thy golden najr ringlets,
Thy little lips kiss,
And thy round, dimppd chin
Thy chubby hands hide
In thy Mammals pure bosom,
And her arms encirce,
And press thee again.
The sig of the moment comes quickly upon Us
When upward we climb to the Bibles high hill
We look to the past, and see nothing to borrow,
For all is now lost in the fleet flowing riL
The present is gloomy
The future brighter
In this shadow OF death,
And this valley of sin.
Nothing is left us to make our lives lighter.
But much do We find
To sorrow it still.
Our manhood is shorn of all its beams golden:
The laurel must yield to the cypress and yeW;
All around Us is Cheerless,
We that so fearless,
See the red cleaning meteor mars now go down
To set III is crimson

OF wisdom, and valor; to I'll ages renOwn.
T. us sealed as 3 letter. We'll know it no better
Than the joys which we tasted in youths early
Well look back upon them
In JOY mixed with sorrow
And take from them pleasure each pass away.
