tornado ON the River.

At four clock last evening fearful
tornado struck the river at Helena,
Ark. The steamer A. ]. White, in mid
river at the time, was nearly capsized,
the wind driving her guards six feet
under water, and washing away several
bales of cotton, which we're subsequently
recovered. A negro deck hand, name
unknown becoming frightened, leaped
overheard and was lost. A passenger
and several deck hands cut the yawl
loose, leaped in and were blown ashore
in few seconds. 1t required the ut
most efforts OF the captain Cheek,
pilot Marsh Miller and other officers to
save the boat from sinking. The City
of Vicksburg, a mile below the White,
was almost driven under water by the
force of the wind. Her smoke stacks
were twisted off and blown into the
river. Captain Carter never encoun-
tered before so violent storm on the
river. The guards of the boat were sew
eral feet under water for few minutes,
and the waves dashed against her fire.
box. The officers Of both boats deserve
commentator for the skill displayed
by them in saving their boats during
the dread storm.

This forenoon Jack Vaughn, Albert
Macon, Newton Clark, Lafayette and
John Sonthall, citizens Of Hardeman
county, who we're brought before United
States Commissioner Dyer, we're placed
on trial on the charge Of burning col
ored school-house and threatening the
life of the white teacher, William String
fellow. The prisoners we're discharged,
no proof being brought sufficient to con-
meet them with the offenses. In yester-
days LEDGER it was stated on informa-
ton that Stringfellow was Northern
abolition emissary. This is a mistake,
he informs our reporter, and his state
ment is substantiated, that he is from
Tippah county, Mississippi, and had
never been out of the State until few
weeks since, when he took charge of the
colored school near Salisbury; and he
never harangued crowd of negroes. He
served in the Confederate army during
the war, and received wounds in the
fights around Jackson Mississippi,
during the advance of the Federals on
that point He claims the right to
teach colored school, because by so
doing he can accomplish good. There
can be nothing Objectionable in teach
ing colored people, education being the
groundwork of society.
