CoMPLIMENTARY.--The Nutiue Tbyin-
ian, published at Orange Court House, pays
well deserved compliment to the zeal and
ability Of Raleigh T. Daniel, ESQ, the chair
man of the State Executive Committee, du-
ring the late campaign. We heartily endorse
the compliment paid him: It says:
"The labors of this gentleman during the
late canvass were simply herculean. For six
weeks he devoted his whole time day and
night to the cause. Body and brain were
alike taxed to their utmost. Never in his
whole life was his strong and admirably
trained intellect brought SO fully and SO pow.
erfully into play, for never before was the
State in such extreme peril. Mr.. Daniel
met that peril as every true son of Virginia
met it-defantly-and, warming to the work,
gave his whole being to the struggle. As
chairman Of the Executive Committee, he
was in position to do more than other men,
and it is but bare truth to say that be per-
formed his arduous and responsible task as
perhaps no other man in Virginia could have
performed it. No detail was too trivial for
him, no question too involved or important
to discomfort him. His great legal knowl-
edge was of infinite service on many trying
and delicate occasions. The manual labor
he endured in letter writing alone was beyond
the power Of any but the most robust men,
But all this work of head, and heart, and
hand, was done by Mr.. Daniel with the case
and efficiency which a large and generous
nature thoroughly aroused is capable of. 1t
docs seem to us that service so important
deserves special recognition at the hands Of
Virginlans."

This is no novel in the market, having been be

everywhere stood the test of the searching scru.

This medicine is actually compounded from
the purest Ingredients, by an experienced and
careful chemist; neither is it claimed that the
ingredients were hitherto unknown to the med
ical profession. On the contrary the various
component parts have for q long time (some of
them for centuries, been used by the NEST sci
entific and experienced physicians as specifics in
cases of Dyspepsia, Poverty of the blood Ner-
vous and Bilious Headaches, and many diseases
arising from arrangements of the Digestive ap-
paratus. 1t is not claimed for this article that
it will all diseases, but in Bilious Fever and
Chills and fever, its value not only as q relief,
but, as an actual cure has been fully proved. -
1t is especially recommended in all diseases
resulting FROM an impure state of the Liver
Such as Hepatic Congestion, hillary distractions,
excess of Bile, Sc. M
1t is recommended by prominent medical men,
who, though opposed in principle to all "Patent
or Proprietary medicines have been forced by
the result of their experience with the MORNING

Terrific iIcrrleane.

One of the severest hurricanes that ever
visited Southern Illinois swept over Ullin,
20 miles above Cairo, on the line of the Il
linois Central Railroad, on Tuesday evening
last. About4 o'clock the residents were APP
prised of the coming Of the storm by very
heavy dull roar in the distant forests, and
apprehcnding a severe blow, Immediately
sought shelter. A few minutes afterwards
the wind broke in upon the devoted village
with tornado fury, threatening for q time
both loss of life and great destruction Of
property Piles of boards and scantling were
lifted into the air and hurled hither and
thither, descending hundreds Of yards dis
tant; trees were wrestcd up by the roots and
stripped of their limbs houses were uuroof-
ep and blown down; fences were demolished,
and for moment it was believed that the
passenger train, with its human freight, would
be lifted from the track and dashed to atoms
Our informant took refuge under plat
form car, standing on switch, and upon this
car great timbers we're raincd that crushed
their way through the floor, as if they had
taken contract to lombard it until its gar
son of one capitulated. The extent of the
damage done could not, in the hurry and
CONSERVATION Of the hour, be ascertained. -
In the village, the store house Of Messrs.
Hendricks 4 Cuhl was blown into shape
less wreck, and the stock therein quite des-
troycd. The drug store and Office of DR..
Victor were seriously damaged; the front of
J. B. Vick's store house was blown out the
roof of Mr.. Hicks residence was partly
blown of, besides demolition Of out-houses,
fences, etc, forming an aggregate damage Of
$1,000. The ravages Of the hurricane were
not confined to Ullin. The country for
miles on either hand was swept by it but VIC
are not informed in detail as to the damage.
The residents all agree that it was the most
destructive and alarming storm that ever Wis
tied the country - Territorial Enterprise.

The Cricket Plague.

The Virginia Enterprise, of July 9th,
says; A gentleman who came in few days
since from the new mines on the the Qwyhee
River, eighty miles north Of Elko, says that
while in that region, while encamped in the
vicinity of Mountain City, he had an oppor-
tunity Of seeing two or three armies Of those
grasshoppers or crickets, of which We have
heard 50 much through the Utah papers. He
says that they came in three or four divisions
each mile in length and half q mile in
width. They stopped for nothing evidently
belonged to the class Of the unterrifed. Fire
and water were all the same to them. On
reaching Owyhec they swan the river They
went out upon such willows as stretched
across the stream as far as they reached when
they boldly jumped into the water and struck
for the opposite shore. Millions Of these
strange insects thus crossed the river-which
at that point mentioned is at least thirty feet
wide-and went hopping on to the southwark.
Each army BY some instinct travelled in a
southerly direction. The whole face of the
country is covered with grass-the usual food
of these insects-but they held it cheap,
there being such an abundance of it., and
went after something stronger. Passing by
all vegetable food, they attacked saddles, bri-
dies and all such articles Almost to the
number of millions, they would climb upon
any such article left within their reach, and
in a very short space of time it would be al
most totally devoured. Although our friends
were able in a few hours to catch as many as
300 trout, after the cricket army passed over
the river not fish would bite for four days.
They were all completely gorged with crick-
cts.

NEGRO MOB IN CHARLESTON negro
mob, which at one time threatened very Sc
rious consequences, occurred on the night of
the 9th inst, on the occasion of the depar-
ture for home of the Savannah base ball club,
which has been on visit here. The club was
accompanied by a colored brass band from
Savannah, the members Of which were said
to be Democratic.
As the club was leaving in procession for
the boat, they were attacked by a mob Of sew
eral hundred negroes with shower Of stones,
sticks and brick bats. Several shots were
fred on both sides.
Major Pillsbury vas on the ground but
said he was powerless to quell the riot, and
called on Major Oglesby for the assistance Of
United States troops. The club was then es.
corted to the boat between platoons Of the
Eighth United States Infantry, followed by a
large crowd Of Infatuated and yelling negroes
throwing stones, compelling the soldiers at
intervals to face about and threaten to fire
Several were wounded, mostly members of
the band. The affair causes intense indigna-
ton among the whites.

SECRETARY BoUTwELL.-The Washing

says:
The intended departure from the city q
Secretary Boutwell, in few days, for an alb
sence Of some weeks, lis construed by poIiti
clans as an evidence that no effort will be
made in the Cabinet, where he is the leading
spirit Of the working Radicals, to enforce a
new election in Virginia in certain districts
where successful candidates are unable to
take the iron clad oath.
The correspondent Of the Philadelphia
Press, in his Fridays telegram, says:
Ex-Secretary Stanton called on Secretary
Boutwell, to-day, is understood that he ex-
pressed his entire satisfaction of the policy
adopted by Governor Boutwell, regarding the
Southern elections and assured him that he
would be sustained by the rank and file of the
Republican party.

a A BLOODY AFFAIR IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
A bloody row occurred at the election precinct
Of Sleepy Hollow, Barnwell county, South
Carolina, on Thursday last, which resulted in
the killing of two men, the fatal wounding Of
another, and the stabbing of four others
The Augusta (Ga) Constitutionazist says
The difficulty grew out of the election of
township officers. When it was fonnd that
the radical nominees were elected, Elmore
Tyler, an enthusiastic conservative exclaimed !:
"Boys, we're beat; l don't blame you colored
people; [ blame you white scalawags."
A. Woodward, brother Of one Of the Of
Gcers- elect, demanded retraction of Tyler.
when. Pickens Woodward drew a pistol,
which was wrestcd from him by John H
Holland. A. P. Woodward now drew his
pistol, MORALLY wounding Holland, and the
fight then became general VIM. j. Wood
ward, father of Pickens and A. p. whipped
out a large knife and began an indiscriminate
assault upon those who were identified with
the conservative party. Attacking Wyatt
Tyler, he inflicted severe stab on the neck
of that gentleman. James Tyler ard his
brother Joseph also received wounds from the
knife in the hands of Woodward, the former
in the side and the latter in the breast
With his thirst for blood not yet satiated,
Woodward set npon Frank NJ Green, and in
ficted a severe wound in his side.
At this juncture the father Of Green, John
S. Green, ST., observing the danger to which
his son was exposed, closed in with Wood
ward, whom he succeeded in telling to the
ground. While Green was pinning Wood
Yard to the earth. A. 2. Woodward discharg-
ed two shots from his pistol, which took eff
feet in the left side of Green, causing imme-
date death. Young Woodward also fred
upon Frank NJ. Green, wounding him in the
left hand. From the effect Of this wound
Green fell, when his antagonist fred at him
again, but missed his aim. Two pistol shots,
fred by parties unknown, took effect in the
back Of A. P, Woodward, producing wounds
which, it is thought, must prove fatal. All
the parties implicated in this affair were white,
the colored people present taking no part in
the fight on either side.
