Good F1ELD FOR ENTERPRIsE.-We
have received several communications
from correspondents in the Southern
States, (says the Boston Commercial
Bu!lettn.) expressing the great desire
OF the people to bring into that part of
tho country capital, from the North
OF either money or labor, which will
aid in restoring It's prosperity.
These communications nro from in
telligont men, natives of the Southern
States, who accept "tho situation" to
tho extent of going to work them
selves to develop tho splendid re.
sources of their section, instead of
wasting their time in frothy declama.
tion and political disputation, and
who purpose to devote their best ef.
forts to thoroughly establish law and
order, and to protect to the fullest
dogreo the honest opinions and con.
yictions ofall who may como among
them.
The splendid water power, cheop.
ness of labor, the important advantage
IN tho difference of price of cotton to
the Southern manufacturer, the long
er duration of days in winter, and pro-
liho yield of fruit and vegetables from
the SOIL are among the advantages to
which attention is called in the States
OF Tennessee, South Carolina and
Georgia.
That the Southern States offer a
magnificent opportunity for the suo-
ccsstul and profitable development of
manufacturing enterprises there can
DO no question, and once let the at
tention of Northern capitalist and en-
torprlso be turned in that direction
and it will 60 there with q rush.

SOMETHING COMING,
A Column Of Magnetic Light from

the Earth.

A Column of Magnetic Light from
the Sun Stretching Out Toward
the Earth.
The suns atmosphere, say the scientific
men, Is In highly excited condition. "A
column of magnetic light is shooting out
further and further from the solar sphere,
and IS now stretching out forty five millions
OF miles. In other words, it has accom-
plshed half the distance between US aud
the sun! The interesting question, and
one on which, perhaps we do not wish any
more light of this character, is, how long
Will 1t be before it finishes the rest of the
distance and bridges the gigantic chasms
between the earth and the SUI? Is il a
messenger sent out to snatch US up as a
food tor the lnsatiate monster that keeps
himself warm by devouring planets, and
whose hre eating propensities this whole
earth would satisfy for few days only? 1t
so, how long will this emiSsary lie in reach
ing US, and carrying the globe away as if
1t were gigantic lump of coal for a fur
mace? This column Of light at intervals in
dicates its approach by flashing and cor
ruscating with fresh briliancy. So decid-
ed are It.: effects that two astronomers, one
at London, the other at Oxford, and nei>
ther knowing the experiences of the other,
supposed ihat the dark glass of their tele-
scope had been broken or put out of range,
so strong was the flash of golden light upon
the vision. 1t is predicted that before the
end OF next year this magnetic light will
have got near enough to us to make its
immediate and actual influence upon tho
earth distinctly felt. Ii is announced that
III consequence we may expect to see phe-
nomena that have never been seen or known
before by the human race. If any of our
readers are therefore yet disposed to com.
plain of the weather and the earthquakes,
let them remember that by this time next
year they may have an entire new line of
experiences to explain and endure, in COM
arison with the ftfal winter and rough,
rude autumn of to day may seem like q
june morning in Paradise, and the earth

OEONdEIOWN, C0l., NOV. ~.
A terrific tornado occurred here on the
18th. A heavy wind arose about q. N. +,
and increasing in strength it almost totally
destroyed the portion OF the city known as
Lower Georgetown. Houses We're demol
ished in every direction. During the
heaviest blow the air was completely filled
with trees, lumber, small stones, and arts
cles of most every description. Among the
prominent buildings destroyed is the new
Episcopal church. Old and heavy pines,
which have weathered the storms for years,
were uprooted, and in many cases hurled
a distance Of seven hundred yards.
The lower portion Of the city presents a
hard locking wreck. A number OF fami-
lies arc left homeless. One life was lost,
and several were seriously injured. The
loss of property is estimated at fifty thou
sand dollars.

him to enforce the law, and we understand
that the necessary force will be dispatched
to Lone Tree at once, and a formal de-

oner. If the Indians refuse to give him

table showing the whole number of votes
cast in the gubernatorial election in thirty
four cities and towns in Wisconsin, and an
estimate of the POI ulation Of each. The
vote in all parts of the state was unusually
light, and the estimated population is
probably much below the rea! number in

pecially, the figures are manifestIy below
the real number. Still, the table shows
