Does the Richmond Wing really believe that
its present course towards the mass Of the Con.
servatives, who elected Gov. Nalker-for with
out their aid he would not have received 8 .OOC
votes in the State-and who are every way dis
posed to support and sustain him in the dis
charge OF his duties.-is calculated to do any
good whatever Is this course not rather likely
to ALLEVIATE the Conservative voters of the State?
The epithets which the Wing is in the habit Of
applying to all who do not follow its plans, do
not disturb much the equanimity of men who
know how UNJUST they are, but they are at
least looked upon as unkind, it not ungrateiul,
to say the least of them. Besides all men Go
not reason calmly about such matters-aud if
their feelings become excited BY uugenerous
treatment, on the part of those who are placed
in position by their exertions, is it not natural
that they should resent it2 We speak in all
kindness.

The Postmaster General calls attention to
the Thanking privilege, now enjoyed by over
10000 officials, aud involving an expense OF five
millions of dollars, which he characterizes as
20 special privilege granted to q favored class
at the expense of the many" He presents a
strong array of reasons for its abolition, not the
least OF which is found in the abuses and frauds
which seem to be inssparable from its exercise.
The Postmaster General says it would be better
to abolish the ranking privilege, ani carry
newspapers free, without regard to weight,
throughout the United States.

The PRESIDENT MESSAGE. This document
has the merit OF conciseness, and clear expo
sition of the topics touched upon, and its tone
is to be commended. We may not agree with
all the suggestions or recommendations, nor
with some of the views, expressed by the Pres
ident, but we are not disposed to find fault, but
rather to adopt tho opposite course towards the
FIRST message which the present Executive has
sent to Congress. We have, for convenience,
divided the message for publication in two OF
our daily papers, but it will be found entire in
to.morrow's issue OF the Gazette for the
Country.

A TORNADO AND WATER-SrouT on THR
OHIO RIyER.-The Louisville Courier gives
an account Of 8 destructive hurricane that
.xept across Kentucky above Wicklif's
landing, thirty-fre milcs up the river, on
Wednesday afternoon. While the Leonora
was moored st the landing, about ~
o'c!ock, the pilot On duty saw two immense
clouds come together o short distance off.
In a few minutes a terrific hurricane, rem
dered still more awful by desfenipg thun-
der and binding Lightning, rushed with
iudescrihable fury across the river Just
above the landing. Immediately on reach
ins the stream the fierce tornado lifted a
great body Of the water and hurled it along
over the bank, deluging the vicinity and
exciting the u.mostt terror smong the people.
The path Of the hurricane WAS about q
hundred yards in width. Throughout this
track for miles on both sides of the river
the devastation was complete. Houses,
trces, fences, &C., were uptorn and scat
tered like straws in all directions. The air
was d~ensely filed with huge limbs Of trees
and other fragments, and the whole region
Of the storm was in 8 state of chaos. In
the general destruction the dwelling of q
Mr.. Goeshler was blown down, and that Of
David Hogan was completely RACED. In the
latter house were four or five persons, ell
OF whom were more or less injured. Sid.
Lees barn and a new dwelling near by
we're unroofed. A lookout station at the
landing was blown entirely away.
Although the Leonora lay some distance
below the line Of the main hurricane, ell of
her skylights were shattered and the glass
hurled into the cabin, creating a wild panic
among the passengers. If the boat had
been within fGn range Of the squall abe
would have gone up the spout se~etotslly.
The most skiltul pilot could not have saved
her. This terrible blast was folio wed by
rain that fell in torrents and flooded the
whole region around. 1t is difficult to esti-
mate the extent Of the injury suffered by
the victims of this storm, but it is certainly
ysry great, --

Miss Richings Mrs. Bernard) will
shortly reorganizs her opera company, and
as Psrepa-Rosa is also to take the field as
directress of an English opera company,
the probability is that we will have a num-
Der of new voices. If tho whole truth
were told it would appear that Mics Rich
ings has not been treated kindly by GER
tsin members Of her present troupe, who
are about to desert her and rally around
the standard Of the Rose but Qusrrels of
the stage are generally very mixed-up
affairs, and this, We suppose, is no excep-
ton so we have no idea of attempting an
explanation of this. To Miss Richings, who
has thus far held the monopoly in the mat
ter OF toe English opera, all credit belongs
for her great snd untiring efforts to estab-
lish g grand opera Of our own language.
But competition could not but have been
expected, and it is about to come at last.
Our only wonder is that it has held off SO
long.-PhIddelphia Press.

named James Colston and McCaffry, work

when Colston drew a knife and cut McCsf.
fry three times across the abdomen, infict-
irg fearful gsshes and ~sunde-ing the bow,

seems that there has been rivalry between

TO be the best. Apparently they had made
up 81 their difficulties, and IN Saturday
vent out to take a drink together. In1amed

day or two longer, tho guest Of his rela-
tons. Last evening he was at the Mansion
House, where q large number Of our citi-

paid their respects to this good and great
man. II was more like q family meeting
than anything else; for We here regard
General Lee as one Of cur Alexandria

his boyhood, here he went to school, and
here he has relatives, old friends, and
school mates, and knows q large portion of

lovely exhibition Of the grateful and un-
bought homage Of the heart to worth and
high character than was exhibited last eve
ming. 1t was q scene long to be remem-
bered q scene without parade, pomp, or
ostentation, but full of interest-most hon
