GEN. WhitthOrne and Ben
KRmHVaE-.

From the Washington Republican,
The following correspondence between
Mr.. Whitthorne, of Tennessee, and Cen.
Butler, regarding the debate in the
House on Wednesday night, explains
itself:
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, WASHING
TON, ID. G, Feb. q, 1S73-To Gen. Butler-Slr :
In the remarks made by you last night,
see by the morning papers you are reported
to have said, Il quote from the Repubtlcon:)
broke out the adiutant general Of Isham G.
Harris (Mr WhItthorne, now member OF
this Housed stole all the funds of the State
and carried them into the rebel lines.
Now, l thought heard every word you
said and did not understand you to have
made any charge of the kind against my
self, but TO have done so against Governor
Harris, whose adjutant general was, ana
which charge against Governor ii. denied
promptly. ] have now TO ask you whether
l understood you properly, or wnether IN
the extract which have quoted you are
correctly reported.
ReSpectfniIy, ,T,N MalF WasT1 n
TON, d. c., Feb. 26 lS73.-Hon. w. G. Whit
thOrne In obedience to your request 10
report of his speech as 1t appears in the
Republican this morning. he utterly us
claims the statement reputed to him, and
authorizes me to say to you that the ohiS
regard to your having been rebel, ana that
not meant to be personally offensive: For
would correct the report Oft as presented ia
the PesubticdR, he did not feel 1t his duty 10
offer any other denial of an Incorrect report
of his language.
am, respectfully, your friend,
EDWARD GRASSLAND.
House OF REPRESENTATIVES, WASHING-
Tor, D. C.. Feb, y. lS73-RepOrter OF Daily
Republican l appreciate the difficulties un-
der which YOU labOred last night, and
though your report of Gen. Buffers remarks
do me gross injustice, do not therefore
complain. --.
Immediately upon reading your report
this morning the note which incloSe for
waried to Gen. Butler, and his response to
my friend you have also herewith. re-
Spectfully ask such correction OF this 1nfOr-
nation as will do me justice.
Respectfully, w. Z. WHITrHoRNE.
P. S-Since the above was written Gen.
Butler tthis evening" has in open House
stated that the report of his remarks in ref
erence to myself was incorrect, etc.
In the synopsis of the debates OF the
House furnished to the city papers by
an able crops of reporters, such mistakes
as the one referred to above are seldom
made but are excusable in view OF the
impossibility of hearing the speeches of
members in the reporters, gallery while
it is crowded with gabbling people, who
make so much noise as to drown the
voices of the several speakers.-Ed.
Rep.

Jailer Of Maury county elective by the
people. The House very properly re-

our county elects good Sheriff, like the
present incumbent, we are sure to get a
good Jailer.

Rolling up, his sleeves and popping his

A cook stove was blown half mile away.
Mrs. Walters had five children, including in
fant twES. The house in its fall broke Mrs
Waters neck, and one of her babies was
crushed to death in her arms. The other
twin escaped.
The other three children attended the Hud-
dleStord school, just across the road Here
there were seventeen children, with their
teacher, Miss Polly Smith. The approach of
the storm was observed by Minnie Rothmer,
a girl OF twelve, who was standing at the door.
She started to run home but the other chill
dren,
PARALYZED BY TERROR,
gathered in helpless cluster about their
teacher. In moment the whirwind shivered
the school house to atoms and threw the in-
mates iuto the road.
The teacher was seriously injured.
Julia Conner, girl of sixteen, had her
shoulder broken.
Two the Walters children were so badly
hurt that their recovery is not expected.
Rallie Gibson had a round hole made
through his cheek and his head laid open by
board
The little girl, Rothmer who started to run
home, was carried through the air for about a
quarter of a mile and then flung to the earth
and killed. She was rather
HUMAN JELLY
than child, for, literally, there was not an
unbrOken bone in her body.
| Among the other serious or curious Incl
| dents may be mentioned the wrecking of Mr..
| Walters house and the probably fatal wound.
ing OF his mother by broken board that pen
etrated her thigh the blowing of a teamstel
named Baker, his wagon and team, clean ovel
fence; the uprOOting of some tombstones in
a cemetery, near lancaster; the abstractinl
| 5000 in greenbacks, which an economical
| German woman had hidden in the roof of he
house, and the complete destruction of large
flock of sheep at the same place, which were
| tossed up into the air till, as an eye-witnes
affirmed, they "looked like so many birds"
/ AwoMAN DIsEMBowELLED.
Of all the terrible Deaths though it wa
merclfully instantaneous, that of Mrs. Engler
diDge, who lived about five miles from Kiota
was the most horrible She was sick in be,
with her baby when the storm came on ant
blew the house away As it rose two or thre,
OF the larger timbers must have been driver
against her bed with the swiftness of cannon
balls. One cut the top of the childs head OF
and carried away part of the brain. Two 9th
ers struck the unfortunate woman in the alb
T demen and neck, broke her into fragments, a
il she had been torn asunder by four viii
horses or blown from cannon. The legs an
inferior portions of the trunk went one way
part of the chest, the stomach and one arr
another; the other arm was torn off and foun
sticking in bank of sand, and the head, nee
and fragment of the bust were found a lon
distance from the other ghastly relics of hi
manity.
THE TOTAL LOSS
is variously estimated in money at $I75,OC
to $S00,000, including thirty-fve houses
200 sheep, $500 hogs, 100 head of cattl
forty horses and all the crops along the trac
J of the storm. The list of killed and wounde

little nervous He told everybody who came in
what a simple thing it was to stop chewing.
The third day he harped about it all day long.
lie told one man about it three different times,
AID when that much-nformed individual ven
tured the opinion that he would be chewing
again in less than week, Smikes Indignantly
calculated: "Mr. jenkins, when | make up
my mind to thing that is the last of it.
The fourth day Smkes heard that chamomile
blossoms were sometimes used as substitute
for tobacco, and just out of curiosity he de-
voured couple of ounces Of them. He said
to the druggist when he bought them that it
was easy enough to stop the use of tobacco.
On the fifth day Smikes got sick. His nerves
gave out He snapped something at Samantha
at the beakfast table, upset his inkstand, burnt
his finger pOking some cinders out of the CRATE,
and had no appetite for dinner. That day the
devil whispered to Smikes that tobacco was
really beneficial to some temperaments. Smikes
had temperament of that kind.
The sixth day Smikes felt like a murderer
He seemed to himself to have become trans
formed into Modoc His mouth was dry and
parched. A stout, healthy-looking old gentle
man came into Smkes' office that day He
was great friend Of Smikes' and as he drew
forth his silver tobacco-box and daintily shook
out small portion Of the pungent weed Smikes
| felt his mouth water. He remarked to Mr..
| johnson that he had not chewed any for six
days, and that he had refrained so long just to
satisfy himself that anybody could chew or leave
it alone. He was fully satisfied that it could
be done, but he rather thought that his was
one of those temperaments that are really
acted uponin bene6cialway by the temperate
use of tobacco.
Mr. johnson said be thought so too. and as
he handed Smikes his box remarked that hC
had chewed regularly for thirty years, anc
didn't know as it had ever damaged him any
As Smikes rolled large quii back into hi.
LETT cheek, he said he thought there was quite
difference in men. He was satisfied that b,
could stop chewing at any moment, but Their
were some temperaments to which a gent
narcotic or oplate was really a blessing. =
