s1 FEARFUL SToRM III HARRINGTON, 8. @.
Aletter in the WILMINGTON IN. o. Jour.
nal. from Timmonsville, s. O., gives the
following details OF the ravages of a
storm which visited Darlington, County,
last Thursday night:
Our vicinity was visited by an awful
storm on the night OF the 1st instant,
which proved very destructive. The
clouds rolled from the West late in the
day; With Aeroe and vivid lightning and
incsssautthnnder. The lightning struck
in many places near here, but fortu-
nRtely no houaes we're struck. Thexush
offthe wind was terrific over large
space OF the country. and at about 9
O'Clock whirlwind passed through the
country, appearing to be in the centre
OF ther storm. It was confined to the
woods for several miles until it struck
the plantation of Mr.. P. Horn, about
three miles from here. when it carried
away fences, out-housus, bee.hives,
orchards, shade trees, flowers. corn, fod-
der and shuoks. and tore to pieces every
house on the plantation except Mr..
Horns dwelling and q small smoke
house. Even large log houses were
lifted mp, torn to pieces and scattered
over the fields. The next place in the
line Of the whirlwind was that of Mr..
Spencer Hatohell, where everything was
carried away except part of the dwell
ing house. and articles from Mr. Horns
we're scattered all over Mr.. Hatoheli's
pia9e. The two places are about two
miles apart on opposite sides Of large

The inoorrigible Dom Piatt, oonten-
plating the possibility that Captain jack
will exterminate the American people at
the rate the very one-sidcd Modoo war is
going on. throws sop to that ferocious
chief by saying that lie desires it to be
distinctly understood, before this thing
goes any further. that Captain Jack has
always been his fret choice for President.
The objection to the Modoo is that he
never defines his position; at least, our
officers have not succeeded in locating
him to their satisfaction. His ideas in
regard to back pay are uncertain, but he
has way of going for, an adversary's
back hair which is unpleasant, to SAT the
least Of It. On the stealage question, he
agrees substantially with Oakes Ames-
goes for all he can get and puts itwhere
he thinks it will do most good. The old
reprobate seems ambitions of making 4
modern Pompeii Of his lava bed by en-,
tombing the Government troops under
!. the volcanic debris OF his dismal retreat.
The ancient Poppeiians inscribed Care
canens on the floor of their vestibtles,
