On Staten Island.

The storm Of wednesday night and yesterday,
was one Of the severest that has visited Staten
Island for long time The streets along the shore
were completely swamped with water which came
from the beach and poured from the numerous
hills to the hollow below. 1t destroyed
several fine wheat and corn fields In the
interior OF the county. At Totrenville q large
un0ccupied frame house fell with q shock and
numerous trees on the island were blown down.
At Port Richmond a man named John Morris,
while driving along Richmond Road was seriously
injured by the falling OF large limb from tree
on the road siIe.
A boy named Wilson was also injured by the fall
ing oil o shutter. The streets were deserted, and
scarcely any business was doing.

town. Though the weather was SO bad, and so
many Of the friends Of the family were absent from
the city, yet there was good attendance at
the service. The solemn prayers read by the
clergyman, and the mournful music Of the
organ and singers were rendered more solemn
and mOurnfu still by the go0miness of the
weather, the church being unlit by ray OF sun
light Besides the widow and the two sons Of the
deceased there were present, among the members
OF the family, the two brothers OF the widow,
Messrs. A. Bernhard Reade and w. J. Reade, and

THE STORM ELSEWHERE.
Tho Storm in Brooklyn


fortunately led to no serious damage. Several
fences were leveled by the strong puns OF ''Old
Boreas," as he swept down from the northeast.
Trees in some exposed localities were upr0oted,
signs were swept from their fastenings, awnings
torn, and the leaves were rudely brushed OF the
branches OF the trees, and covered the sidewalks
until the surroundings were decidedly OF an autumn
nal aspect Winter clothing was In vogue, open cars
were called In, and close vehicles ran on all the
city horse lines Along the river front all work
was suspended, owing to the severity of the Storm
which prevented the loading Of goods.
Effects OF the Storm In New Jersey.
So far as heard from yesterday. the violent storm
OF Wednesday caused little damage in the rural
districts beyond tile sp0liation OF trees and con-
siderable fruit and garden truck. 1t is feared,
however, that in Morris county the peach crop,
which already gave promise Of q very meagre
yield, has been injured stin more. In the
cities and towns trees, SHRUBS Hover
beds, DC, sunered greatly, but nothing
in comparison to the effects Of the storm or O
few weeks ago. No houses were blown down nor
life or limb injured 80 lar as heard from. The false
report about the steamer Plymouth Rock caused o
painful sensation in Newark. The appearance
OF the HERALD yesterday morning with the facts
hghtened many an anxious heart, as 81 eat many

In consequence OF the damage done to the track
by the late rains no trains were run on the Cam

before the obstruction is cleared away. There
was also o land slide at Monmouth Junction which

ct the appointed hour. There was a
quorum in each house, Every member was
present in the Senate. Sixty-eight Of the
seventy-fye members Of the House were

ThS views G1 EEceheAs
NEW ORLEANS, jan 6.-Ihe following
are the prevailing ideas OF prominent mem
bers OF the committee of 200: louisiana is
q State in the Union under a Constitution
approved as republican in form. The State
elections are held by authority OF the State
Constitution. Congress has no more right
20 interfere with the State Government
than the President has. 1t cannot interfere
with State elections or order, 1t can salts
fy itself by investigation OF wrongful inter-
ference of the United States authorities In
State affairs, and undo the wrong by a reso-
luton withdrawing United States troops.
These are the opinions and expectations
entertained.
Permitting q PeaceabIe Farce,
The following is Secretary Belkna2's note
| to Gen. Sherman yesterday:
"GeneraI; The President directs that
Gen. Emory be telegraphed Immediately
| that he inform Gov. Plnchback that troops
| of the United States will not be furnished
to disusrge any body of men claiming to be
a Legislature or otherwise assembling peace
ably and not obstructing the administration
of the recognized government OF the
| State"
| The Imperial VIII Unchanged.
The extra of the Republican says: Gen.
Emory has received instructions TO the
same effect as those conveyed in the follow
ing telegram to high federal civil officer.
This establishes beyond CARL the status OF
tie existing State Government ana resist
ance to its proper authority becomes there
fore a 1ilful and criminal violation of law.
All good citizens must govern themselves &C.
cordingly.
Washington, Jan. 6, 1673-The report
of the Committee of Two hundred that
the President regards his recognition Of the
existing Government as provisional and
temporary, is not true. The recognition Is
final, and will be adhered to, unless Con-
gress otherwise provides.
