"A Great Storm.

CHICAGO. June S.-Further reports con-
cerning the great storm Of Thursday night
in central Illinois,. show that an immense
amount Of damage was done in Peoria,
Fulton, Knox and other counties in that
section of the State. The destruction Of
the bridges on the country roads has BE- en-
almost universal. In the city of Peoria
fences and trees were blown down and
cellars were filed with water Every rail-
road leading out Of the city suffered more
or less. and no trains left there yesterday.
CHICAGO, June S.-The Burlington and
Quincy Railroad had about four miles Of
its track and many bridges swept away.
The Toledo, Peoria and Wabash Road also
suffered severely, losing one bridge Of 100
feet in, length, and the entire road bed in
number Of places A large number Of
men have been set to work repairing dam
ages, and there will be but little Interrupt
ton to trains. In the town Of Hilton the
damages are fearful, and the town is al
most entirely under water, and barns,
stock, &C., have been swept miles away.
The most singular circumstance Of the
storm is the running upstream of the IL
linois river. The immense volume of wa
ter that poured into the stream has created
backwater, and there is strong current
running northward The river last night
was still rising rapidly, and fears of seri-
Gus damage from this sonroe wore enter
tained

The Lowe Bridge.

We have been requested ,,yinterested
citizens to call the attentions OK the County
Commissioners to the almos: impassable
condition of the Lowe Bridge, on the
Liberty Hill road, and to suggest TO tho
Commissioners the Importance of l,av-
ing said Bridge repaired without delay.
We hope Mr.. Harling, the Chairpian of
the Board will take this matter In hand,
and have the repairs attended to, as this
Bridge is onsa much-traycled thorough
fare, and 4 will be agreat convenience
to the people to have it put in passable
order. We are Informed that bat little
money is needed to do the necessary
work, and If repaired soon may be tho
means of saving the Bridge for some
years. Let the Commissioners remein-

The CAUSE OF THE ADVANCE IN Cor
roN.-Thc Financial Chronicle, of May
81, attributes the advances last week to
the very small receipts at the United
States ports, together with the improve
ment at Liverpool, which, in a limited
way, revived the demand for export, and
enabled the bulls to- get twist on the
shorts. Although the advance is the re-
suit of the fact that the shorts have been
cornered, the movement has been helped
forward by the steadiness Of the legitimate
demand from American spinners and from
shippers leading to q rapid reduction in
stocks. The Chronicle thinks the advance
is not mainly due to speculation.
The same paper makes the visible sup
ply 225O;575, against 2,09S,335, showing
an increase of The cotton in sight on May
3lst l52, 240 bales more than at the same
date last year. The American cotton in
sight was 695,275 bales on May. 31st,
against l ,l65,245 same date in 1871, show
ing decrease of 460,970. The India cot
tor is SO much larger than last year as to
make the total supply larger.

Es- The Germans Of Nashville, Ten
nessee,. held an enthusiastic Greeley
meeting on the 25th' ult., and adopted
resolutions renouncing former alliances,
and assuming a neutral position until a
party shall offer based upon the principle
Of honesty in government.
Gg- ]. Henry Burch, colored delegate
from Louisiana, now in Philadelphia,
who has been interviewed, says, "War.
moth, who leads the Greeley interest
there, has been nominated for governor,
with Pinchback for acknowledgements,
which virtually places the State in the
poss ession of the Greeley party.
@- The Milwaukee wisconsin, NeicS,
the leading Democratic paper OF that
State, which at first pronounced against
the Liberal ticket, has changed its views,
and now advises the endorsement Of
Greeley ut Baltimore. The Chicago Times
says that Wisconsin will send Greeley
delegation to the Baltimore convention.
G1- The Democratic and Liberal Re-
publican conventions of Illinois both
meet at Springfield on June 20, and will
nominate State ticket in concert. Sena-
tors Trumbull and Schurz, Governor
Gratz Brown and Geo. II. Pendleton, of
Ohio, have been invited to speak, and Il
great demonstration is expected.
@e- The Judge Advocate Of the Buell.
Court Martial was Don Piatt, and he
declares tho testimony produced at the
trial was very damaging to General
Grant, and this is probably the reason
why tho record was stolen from the War
Department. In the official report of
the battle of Iuka, General Grant was
accused of willful misrepresentation, and,
what is more to the purpose, the charge
is proved, according to General Rose
cranz. This report is also missing.
zs- The famine in Persia, which now
seems to be drawing near its close has
been productive. Of an amount of misery
almost unparalleled in modern times
Captain Pierson, an Englishman, who
has recently travelled in that unhappy
country, describes the last stage OF the
famine as worse than the first. On his
journey from Shiraz to Teheran he found
the road strewn with half-eaten corpses; !;
cannibalism was very prevalent, and
starvation had aroused the usually peacea-
BILE inhabitants to despair, and brigandage
and other crimes of violence were rife
all along the roads, In the capital alone,
ont of a population of $4,000, at least
10000 had fallen victims to the famine
and its tsattendant diseases.

PROGRESS of the Court.


AS we went to press last week, the case
OF the State against Flint, for the killing
of sharpton, was being argued before
Judge Melton. In this case Messrs You
mans q Sheppard appeared for the De-
fendant, Mr.. Barnwell for the State; and
all madeearnest and speeches. Flint
was acquitted. ,<j5, q ~
The next case tried of any impor-
tance, was that of the State VS.. Brewer,
of Graniteville, charged with the killing
Of the negro woman who shot his BREW
er's) child. Messrs. Gary & Gary and
Youmans & Sheppe d for the defence,
Mr.. Barnwen rep. esenting the State.
The State, however failed to make out
case, and the Solicitor gave the matter
up and the case was dismissed, Mr..
Brewer. for whom great sympathy was
felt, departed for his home on the same
day.
On Friday afternoon the Court of Ses-
sions was adjourned. And Judge Mel
ton dismissed the Juries-not retaining
them for civil business this week.
On Monday morning, the Court began
with Calender No. 2, putting aside CAL
der No. l., which requires jury. No
business being ready, however, an ad-
journment was made until Tuesday
morning. On Tuesday and Wednesday
certain civil business was dispatched
not of interest to the general public.
On Tuesday we were pleased to see at
our bar one of the most: distinguished
members of the legal professiopin South
Carolina-Mr. Thompson, of Abbeville.
Genl. Butler, of Columbia, and Major
Baxter, of Newberry, have also been
present for short time during the ses-
sion. Genl. Butler was to have returned
this week, but is detained in Columbia
by the Democratic Convention, to which
he is Delegate from Richland County.
A pleasant feature of Tuesday morn
ing's session was the appearancein Court
of our gifted and popular townsman,
Thomas P. Magrath, Esq. This sound,
able and experienced lawyer, though
much confined to his Office nowadays
by i'll health, is as vigorous and trench
antas in hispalmiest days. Many friends,
who had not seen him for some time,
were delighted to greet him on this occa-
sion. sls m
And in this connection, we would re-
fer to the bold, concise, truthful and con-
scientious Report Of the Grand Jury,
which we publish this week. We have
seldom read Report of this kind so cal
culated to open peoples eyes to many
public abuses, and to set on foot meas
ures for the correction of the same. Our
citizens will no doubt mark well the
words of the Grand Jury in regard to
the sale of lands for delinquent taxes.
On Friday the County Commissioners,
through their attorneys, Messrs. Gary &
Gary. submitted q lengthy report of their
official actings and doings in answer to
Rule of last Court to show cause why
they should not be indicted for neglect
of their official duties. The report was
very elaborate, very plausible, and
in the main much better showing than
we thought they could possibly bring
forward.

GREAT STRENGTH OF THE REPUBLICAN oRaANIzA-
TIoN.
From the N. Y. Timesl
Mr., Greeley's best friends are giving up his
case as kopeless. We mean by his bost friends
not those who. like Fenton and the TammAny
men, flatter only to betray him, but men like
Mr.. Bowles, Of the Springfield Republicans.
When this gentleman comedies that the great
mass Of the Republican Party is with Grant and
Wilson; that they have the support OF what is
called the ,'wAr feeling, which means that Kind
of patriotic feryor which does not die out in
few years; that the immense influence OF the
business men is on their eide; that the negro
vote is solid for them, and that the best Of their
men who sympathised with the Cincinnati move
ment are diegnsted with Greeley--when all this
Is conceded, there is not even the prospect Of
success to induce Republicans to join the effort
Of the Greeley faction to break up the party.
GREELEY CANT CONTROL BALTIMORE,
[From the N. Y. Herald.l
Nor do we think il likely the Baltimore Con-
venton will endorse the Cincinnati nominations
1t might accept Mr. Brown as a candidate for
the Nice-Presideney il he were on the ticket
with an acceptable candidate for the Presidency.
but will hardly take Mr.. Greeley and the ticket
as it stands. All the professions of leaving the
tariff aud other questions to the representatives
in Congress cannot bridge over the gulf which
separates the democrats and Mr.. Greeley in
their views Of public policy. II even the Bal
timore Convention should nominate MIR. Greeley
the detection OF democrats would be, probably,
greater than the accession votes Of the liberal
publcans could bring, and the election conse-
quently, would be lost.

[Frem the N. Y. Times
Mr.. A. 7. Stewart had done no more in offer
ing testimonials to Gen. Grant than had hun
dreds Of other leading citizens OF New York and
other cities. These gentlemen, feeling justly
/ that all their vast wealth and their innumerablt
luxuries were won by the cool brain, and firm
NTill, and unsurpassed genius of this great sol
der amid fire, and bullets, and blood, did what
the grateful people Of all countries have done tC
| their distinguished Generals-ofered him ir
his honorable poverty some slight share OF the
wealth he had helped to save. And this be i
remembered, when he was General, not Presi
dent. There are hundreds OF our leading citi
zens who have done this for many Of our heroes
and no one ever ventured to insinuate a meal
or corrupt motive Of their action. Houses wer'
