NORFOLK VISITE D BY A
TORNADO,
DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY, &c.

On Thursday night, between ten and
eleven O'Clock, tornado, accompanied
by rain, swept over our city with fury
which has never been surpassed, anG
seldom equalled, in this section.
The rain came down in torrents, thun,
der shook the earth, Lightning vivid and
severe 'azzled the vision. and affrighted
the soul, and the wind held high carni-
val throughout our limits. Old Boreas
concentrated his fury upon us, and the
food-gatesssof heaven were flung wide
open just overhead. We stood in need
Of rain, but we were not prepared for
such visitation; it was unexpected and
filed our people with wonderment and
awe The full narration of the damage
sustained by the city would fl a chap
rer-and big one, too
Mr., John r. Ludlow's building, in
course of construction, on the Point,
was blown to the ground and demolish-
ed. 1t was a frame structure, and
about halfcompleted The loss tails on

many supposed
The western wall OF the old Stone
Bridge, also went by the board. Il fell
an easy prey to the destroyer Perhaps
the Solons of the Councils will repair the
time-honored structure now.

Trees in different parts Of the city
ware stripped of their branches, and
some even up-rooted
Mrs Mehegan's house Oh Church
street sustained considerable loss. Til
tin roof was blown off entirely, and
some OF the windpw paues smashed int
thousand fragments
The window panes i'll the residence Of
Mr.. ] M Freeman, corner OF CRANKY
and Butte streets, were also stnasneu;anu
the terrific storm ST. rocked the house
that the fauil were almost tempted t.

greet to learn, was seriously frightened.
The stanch iron railing in front of the
Cltholic church, strange to say, was
also victim, That portion Of it i'm
mediately in front of the church was
blown down entirely.
Two large trees in The yard attached
to the residence of Mrs. Minter, on Main
street, were struck by lightning, and
rent in twain. The branches were rem
dered suitable for fire. wood.
Some other trifling d. mage Vas done
in various parts of the city The storm
seems to have been eye one, or tire
mendous whirlwinl, for some sections
OF the city were not injured by it at all,
and they were equally AS exposed as
those in which the damage WAS sustain

most terrific storms that ever st ormed

Correspondence OF the Corinth News.
Evansville National Union Kepub
Iican Club.

DEAR NEws.-Some wodays ago, Club
was organized here, of which Col. w. w.
Lawrance was elected President, and DIR.
VIM. 4. Caveness, Secretary. There was a
meeting on Saturday night, the 3lst inst,
which was well attended-many from the
country being in, and seeming considerably
interested. After the meeting was called
ito order by the President, it was moved and
carried that a committee be appointed to
draft resolutions expressive of the sense of
the meeting, and to serve as Platform for
the Club at this place. For this purpose the
President appointed DIR. Crosland, DIR. Cave
ness, Capt. Bingham, and Messrs f. I'll. Smith
and j. r. Cantrell. The Committee report
ed the following resolutions, which were
unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That we endorse the cardinal
principles of the National Union Republican
Party. That President Grant shall receive
our support in the discharge OF his duties.
That we will support the principles of free
and impartial suffrage, and equal political
rights of all men.
Resolved, That we appeal to our fellow
citizens throughout the State, whether
Democratic or Republican, to vote for the
Constitution as submitted by President
Grant, excluding the obnoxious clauses
pointed out by him-to bury all bitter po-
1itical animosities and prejudices, and join
us in securing peace and prosperity to our
unhappy but beloved State,
Resolved, That We have no faith in, or fell
we conceive their principles detrimental to
the public good.
Resolved, That we will support for office
only men who are honest and Conservative,
and have the good of the State at heart.
Resolved, That we are unqualifedly in
favor of universal sugrage, universal amnes-
ty, and universal education That our Rep
resentatives be instructed to urge Congress
to pass laws granting free and full pardon
to all. and to repeal the laws heretofore pass
ed DISTINGUISHING those who participated in
the Rebellion. That our Legislature be re-
quested to pass suitable laws to the end that
a system of free schools shall be established.
Resolved, That we respectfully ask Presi-
dent Grant to relieve General Ames of Com
mand, in this State, for the reason that We
believe he will not allow free and impartial
election to be held, as he is avowedly in the
interest of the Radical party.
Ii was the moved and carried that the
Corinth News, National Republican. and
CLARION be requested to publish the above
resolutions.
Mai. Wofford of Corinth being present,
was then called upon and gave a plan. un-
vanished statement of our political affairs.
and pointed out the way by which to rem
edy them.

Letter from the Sea Shore.

We have taken the liberty of publish
ing the following extracts from letter OF
one of the best informed and most nfu-
entail citizens of the Sea Shore counties.
His views are sensible, and doubtless they
reflect the intentions of ninety-nine hun
dredths of the people of that section;
Moss POINT, Aug. Sd, 1869.
Editor Clarion.-"The people will arouse
before the election. / am not satisfied with
our political condition, nor do suppose any
true Mississippian is. But it does seem to
me that no man can fail to see. what, under
the circumstances,i lis to bed one. The good old
ship which we loved so well, has gone down
and we must get to the shore the best way
we can. The question is simply this: Is it
better for Mississippi to be ruled by men OF
integrity, of moral standing and worth, and
who in their official acts will have regard to
the permanent good and prosperity of the
State, though under Constitution much OF
which we do not like, or by set Of men
who have nothing in common with ms, and
whose only aim is self. Whose watch-word
Is. ssis there money in it, One or the. other OF

well to the State to ensure success. Victory

From the Corinth Republican

Think yoatr nomination of Gen. Alc0Fb is pre-
mature. He may or may not be the man for
the times. He may or may not have the h0ld
on the masses that you suppose he has.
The danger to the Republican party does
not lie in the direction that many suppose.
We have nothing to fear from boilers. They
are only formidable az sustained by the De-
mOcracy-of themselves they are nothing
but there is danger to the Republican party,
and it consists in this First, we who are
Radicals-think we see an evident DISPOSE
ton on the part of men who have never been
fully identified with the principles ofethe
barty-eleventh hour men,-tO cast as out
to make scqpe-g0ats Of as, and not only that,
but to brand as ac5th infdnay, for having faith
fully attempted to do the biddings of the
party. This may be done, and it will not
be the first time the sin of ingratitude has
triumphed in this world. But there is an
other ingredient of danger that is formida-
BILE and one which cannot succeed. 1t is the
disposition on the part Of some claiming TO be
Republicans, to ignore the rights Of others an the
party. because they are black. At the proper
time that test will be applied, and then 1--WE
shall see what we shall see."
In leaving the Democratic party, years
ago, and joining the Republican party, it
was with me, and others like me, to advance
great principles opposed by the Democracy.
1t was not to build up an Old-line wing
party; and we are becoming rather disgust
ed at the prominence given that particular
feature at present. We supposed that party
was dead and we came together without
regard to past affiliations, to make common
cause in advancing great principles dear TO
to our hearts and Whiggery formed no part
of the compact.
Mere party triumphs, and loaves sand
fishes have no temptations for men who con-
sidered the advancement of human rights,
is infinitely above such objects.

The Washington County Times of the
9TH says: THE cotton crop in this region Is
excellent. The weather for two or three
days past has been intensely warm-just the
kind desired for cotton. The dread of Wis
itations from the worms is the only thing
the farmers have now to fear. They have
made their appearance in some of the inte-
rior counties"
The Summit Times has the following:
ssMr. Nathan Garrett, whose farm is loca-
ted on the east side of Pearl River, near
Monticello, is the first to forward to our Of
flee an open boil of cotton. We expect to
chronicle the appearance of several bales OF
cotton in our market in a week or so.
Reports from the crops on Pearl River
are conflicting. Many farmers have I'M
doubtedly suffered much from the want OF
rain, corn especially, on many farms. has
been cut short from this cause.
In the vicinity of Georgetown, Copiah
County, the crop is reported to bevery good,
both corn and cotton, but the cotton worm
has made its appearce here to small ex-
