Death i'm the Wfmd-A Terrible
Tornado

A terrible tornado passed over Tuscum
bia, last Sunday night about six o'clock
killing eleven persons and injuring many
others. Whole families were crushed
to death in minute One third OF the
buildings of the town were destroyed,
Mrs. William Winston, mother of the
late ex. Governor Winston, the wife and
two children OF Hon. ]. B. Moore, from
this District, and F. D. Hodgkins, Esq,
editor of Chronicle, his wife and four
children, are killed The Catholic
Church, Deshler Female Institute, recent
ly finished, and many of the finest resi-
dences, both of the Touring mills, and
the most substantial brick dwellings in
town, were destroyed. Many poor fami-
lies are without homes.
A bridge on the Memphis and Charles
ton Railroad near town was destroyed
TIE eastward bound train was precipita-
ted into Spring creek Fortunately no
one killed. The engineer was badly
burned.
Senator Burns Moore's wife was form
erly Miss Pearsall, sister to the wife of
General John d. Rather, President of
the Memphis and Charleston Railroad
Company. Mr.. Moore was elected
State Senator at the recent election, to
fill an unexpired term, and was in Mont
gomery attending the General Assembly
when suddenly bereft of his wife and two
small children by the ruthless storm.
Mrs. Winston was the mother of the
late Governor John Anthony Winston
She was quite an old lady, and highly re-
pacted.
The buildings mentioned are among
the most prominent in the town, the
Deshler Institute being a new and hand
some brick edIfice.
Tuscumbia is prominently situated,
and surrounded by broad open country,
and would be likely to suffer severely
from gale travelling over it.
The stream into which the passenger
train was plunged was from an immense
natural spring, without bottom, in the
town. How all those on the train es-
capped with as little injury as they did was
simply miraculous.

The Democrats and Conservatives had
a grand jubilee mt Nashville on the 10Th,
and one OF the editors of this paper had
the pleasure of being present. At two
o'clock a large concOurse of people met
at the Exposition building, and were ad-
dressed by Hon James r. Beck, Of Ken
tucky, and Hon. VI. G. Kerr, of Indiana
The gentlemen made able and conserva-
tive speeches, aud fully sustained their
previous high reputation. They may be
worthily ranked among the great men o!
the nation. At night, after a grand dis
play of fireworks before thousands of PEG
pie, the large hall was again crowded
with expectaut listeners. Hon. j. Proc
tor Knott, of Ky, Gov. McEuery, of La,
and Gen. Cox, of n. c., addressed the
crowd. Mr.. Knots famous Duluth
speech made him more than welcome
visitor. His speech was fully up to the
expectations of the most sanguinc. He
was followed by Gov. NcEuery, who
gave an interesting account of the Rad
cal outrages la Louisiana He said he
had fought four years IN the Confederate
army; if ever he fought again--and God
forbid he ever should-he would fight for
the Union aud the Constitution. Mr..
Knott glowing tribute to woman was
highly appreciated AMI there was general
waving OF haudheFchIeis among the LADIES'.

The Franklin PeUieC nomirates Hon.
w. c. Whit horne for Speaker of the 44th
Congress, and the Vest Tennessee Demo
cyQt wants BIN elected United States Sen
ator. Both of these nominations are ac-
companied by able and well considered
articles very complimentary to General
Whilthornc. Every word our cotempora-
ries say is true-he would make model
Speaker or a noble Senator. He is an
experienced and skilled parliamentarian,
is a ready debnter, and possesses an eX-
ecutive ability Of the highest order. In
addition, he understands men and can
reconcile their differences and cOncen-
trate them all upon a grand line Of battle,
for offensive or defensive warn this he
has no superior. All these gifts and tall
ents em,neatly qualify him tor either of
the distinguished and honorable positions
for which he has been named, and which
any man in the nation would be glad 20
occupy. But we happen to know that
Gen. Whitthorne is not an aSpirant for

Hon. W c. WhItthorne received a
larger majority over his opponent than
any other Congressman in the State
S,2I6. And this was his third term
This shows how "Whit' is liked at home,
where he is best known. The Franklin
ReUietC wants him elected Speaker, and
the West Tennessee Democrat nominates
him for Senator, which looks like his
eminent abilities and services are not IN
appreciated abroad.

While nominations are in order, we
nominate Hon. J. l.. Orr, of Marshall,

brilliant orators. tie is a Democrat in
whom there is no guile, and has genius
of high order.

THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE,
THE Leading American Newspaper"
Founded by HORACE GREELEY

In the recent elections the people have
declared in favor of honesty in politics and
independence in journalism. THE TRIB-
UNE, which years ago declared that 1t was
not and never more would be party organ,
claims the verdict as the popular vindifica-
ton of its course, and recognizes In
the result the voice of the peO-
pie for reform and integrity in government,
for candOr and independence among news
papers. During the campaign which has
Just closed THE TRIBUNE has fully main
tanned its right to the title of the Leading
American Newspaper" This position IL
has earned and retains for the following,
among other reasons:
1t publishes all the news, earlier, more
fully, and more intelligently than any 9TH
or paper.
1t insists on peace throughout the whole
and the protection of all classes in the exer-
else of their just and legal rights.
1t advocates confidence and good feeling
between North and South, and labOrS for an
honest and abiding reconciliation.
1t maintains fairness and CandOr toward
all public men and questions, and dignity
and courtesy toward associates and rivals.
1t publishes scientific news, reports, dis
cusSions and discoveries to a degree of full
ness and accuracy never before attained by
any paper.
1t giVesevery week ten or more columns
of the most carefully prepared agricultural
matter during the year, much more IN Cne
aggregate than the entire contents of any
other agricultural publication, and the
whole forming department OF which an
eminent agricultural editor said: "lt has
done more to make good farmers than any
other influence which ever existed"
1t has published a series of scientific and
literary extras which have met wider sale
and more emphatic popular approval than
any similar publication of the kind.
