District Attprne,


The following was received from cores
pondents: Wednesday, the 10th, there
vas heave wind from the eastward, veer-
ing to the north. On Thursday morning
it became more steady, increasing to a
gale. Water was waist deep, and every
man, woman and child were seeking a
place of safety. 1t blew fearfully. The
situation was awful. The screams of .woms
en- and children could be heard in every
direction. The water was feet deep in
the streets About o'clock Friday Morn
ing the winds yesred to the northwest.
The waves then became chopped. and the
houses were washed away or tumbled to
pieces, The wind toward morning began
to lull little al ing the bay, Daylight re-
vealed a. scene terrible to behold. The
town could not be recognized as 1ndianola
of the day previous total ruin every
where. The people were seen walking
and jumping one gulley and another.
Neighbor met neighbor and told their
troubles and tribulations of the previous
night. Death and destruction were all
around us. Houses were crushed to the
ground, and others swayed round and were
leaning over. The bodies ofemen, women
andchildren were found in all directions aud
places. Sixty or seventy bodies have been
found and buried. Women were found
and men also who had hoated off on doors
or anything they could get hold of mile;
away and some beneath their roofs, carried
away d. long distance. The escape of 81
many OF the citizens is marvellous. Tht
search for bodies is still going on! We es

OuR FoREIGN CREDIT Ex-Secretary
McCulloch has written another interesting
letter from London lie speaks Of the causes
which led to the depreciation of American
credit abroad, The principal cause has
been the failure of the States to provide for
the payment Of their bonds and the interest
thereon in gold. These bonds were nego-
tiated upon gold basis, with the under
standing that both principal and interest
should by payablein coin The States have
been unable to live up to their part of the
contract, have paid in greenbacks instead of
gold, and have made no effort since the
close of the war TO fulfill their original obi
cations. This has entailed great loss upon
European investors, and caused them to
look with suspicion ON bonds based upon the
credit OF the States. Not fully understand.
ing the complex system which makes the
nation supreme in the exercise of certain
functions, while il leaves the States soyer-
eign in the exercise Of other functions. the
prejudice against investing in State securi.
ties operates in measure, against those Of
the nation. For this reason, our national
credit abroad is not as it should be. Ac-
eording to Mr.. MeCulloch, an early resump-
ton of specie payments by the States and
the nation would restore European conf.
dence in our home securities.

BIGorRY.-The Moody and sankey re-
yival meetings were not held at Elton college,
because the local authorities refused to fur
nish police force to maintain order. A SER
vice was, however held in private house, at
which two hundred Eton students aud a
number of masters were present. The pro-
posed visit kicked up quite a rumpus in
England, and the matter has been brought
to the attention of Parliament. The press
generally disapprove Of the visit, and the re-
suit of the fuss is that they are prohibited
from going to the college. Inasmuch as the
revival preachers did not propose to hold
more than one service, the pig-headed oppo-
sition to their project will only render all
concerned in it ridiculous, A large majority

visit, but goodly number also signed pc.

NIcE-PREsIDENr WILSON, Referring to

that is said Of Yice-President Wilson's past
record, and Of his political and personal
character is true to the very letter. Mr..
Wilson is entitled to all the honor that this
implies. 1t is yet little too early to say
who shall be the Republican candidate for
president in 1876, as it is impossible to fore
see all the issues that will be brought into
the canvass. But, should the choice fall on
Mr.. Wilson, we have the assurance that the
Republican party will never have occasion to
regret it while, if it should fall on some one
else, we are confident that the representative
of Republican principles will have no more
Jealous and efficient supporter than Henry
Wilson, of Massachusetts, man always
true to his convictions and to the rights of
humanity"

The PoTAro-BUG IN THE EAsr.-The
New York Herad has been gathering re-
ports concerning the potato-bug- which is
not a bug at all, but a beete-and. though
many of them are written sensationallv. it
seems to be certain that the pest has got com
fortaby to work on the potatoes, tomatoes and
egg-pants, through some of the southern New
York counties, all Pennsylvania and New
Jersey especially south Jersey; and that the
crop will be much less than usual in Peunsyl-
yania, partly, however, because so much less
land has been planted. The farmers are
very generally, over all these sections, using
Paris green, and Manipulating, combined,
and in great measure succeed ia keeping
down theirnumbers. ltsccms, on the whole,
somewhat odd that there should BE- SO much
