THE STORM.

The recent severe storms, and e.
peciallv that Of Saturday morning, have
have been by no means, restricted to tins
locality. We understand that for con-
siderable distance around us, extending
to the adjacent counties, the fall Of rain
accompanied with high winds-has been
very heavy. As yet We have received
little information rs to the effect this has
had, or is likely to have, upon the coun-
try, or the growing crops. Wepresume
however, that our correspondents will
advise us Of all, in due time.
From what We have been able 10
gather though, from the country around,
we learn that there ha. been considerable
destruction of the crops along the river
bottoms. The corn and oats are prostra-
ted to the ground, and much Of the ten
der stalks Of the corn which had been
thriving nicely in consequence of the
good growing weather, Is broken OF.
The oats and wheat not vet cut, are laid
SO low thatthr balance of the harvesting
will have Ia be done with scythc
or sickle. Cocks Of hay and shocks Of
wheat were torn asunder and blown
over the field, like SO much chat. SINH

RELIGIOUS PRESCRIPTION.

In addition to the currency question in
Ohio, it seems to be probable that the old
Kuow-Nothing fight against religious
opinion, i likely to be revived in that
State. We notice that circular as yet
called private and confidential IS being
distributed among certain classes there,
and Judging from the questions pro-
pounded therein, it certainly looks a. if
an organization was in process Of forma-
ton having for its prime object, a war
fare against the Roman Catholics. This
circular is as follows:
"oUR RIGHTS AND OUR LIBERTIES
cDEAR SrR:-In view of the intolcr-
ant. aggressive efforts Of RomaniSm,
its avowcd determination to subvert
the Government Of the United States,
and To destroy our civil and religious
liberty. | desire to submit to You the
following questions;
IL. Are YOU Protestant from Prlnci-
plc and choice? Answer -
-. Are you in favor of preserving
constitutional liberty, and maintaining
the Government of the United States?
Answer -.
"3. Do YOU regard Homanism as the
enemy of civil and religious liberty?
-. l. it not, in your opinion, unwisc
and unsafe to appoint to civil, political
or military Office men who owe mlcgi-
ancc to the Pope of Rome, and who have
sworn TO obey him? Answer ----.
We are not informed whether this en-
ana,cs from the Republican party Of that
State or not. Two things though are
equally certain. The first is that it must
come from those who were members of
the Know Moving party, which was
one Of the ancestors Of the present Re-
publican organization, and the second is
that it did not come from the Democracy.
Religious liberation and freedom of con-
science is one ofthc rstprinciplcs which
undcrnc our system of Government;
persons OF every creed are entitled TO
the same privileges ard rights, and, as
long ms we remain Il republic, no party
founded for the purpose Of warning upon
these rights can hope to succeed. When
HENRY A. WISE made his mastcrly
FIGHT against ACKNOWLEDGMENT, the Dem
ocracy of Virginia elevated him to the
GubernatOrial chair and achieved Il vic
tory which completely destroyed, for the
time at least, all vestiges in this country,
of that proscriptive and unconstitutional
party. Whether efforts to revive it or
not would have been earlier made, and
were only prevented by the war and its
absorption of every other idea, cannot
be determined; but if this attempt IS
made, at this time, when all the war
issues are things OF the past and
cannot be reSurrected, it is safe
to predict for it as complete
a failure, and as ignobe a defeat as was
formerly inflicted upon it. And it is
needless to assert that the Democracy,
fighting, as it has ever done for the Con-
stitution, and the rights guaranteed to
all citizens by that instrument, will be
found promptly in the ranks, raising its
same ants-Jsii,oa battle cry against all |

such prescriptions. Let the Republic
remain as it was when founded; defeat
the schemes which have already cropped
out so energetically to change it into an
Empire, or military dictatorship, and
there is no fear either that any religious
organization shall be interfered with in

any organization, of any nature, can be

The word "hell," q translation of
the Greek word Gehena, is a term
used 10 designate the valley of Hin
nom. tins valley bounds Jerusalem on
the north, and lies below Mount Zion
"a scene OF imperishable associations.
In tins valley MolOch, the natuTai god
of the Amenities, was wOr5hipped with
the hOrrid and Inhumap rite OF sac
riticInE children in the fire. When
Josiah, in his conquest. OverthreH
this idolatry, he poured contempt up
on the internal practice by casting in
to the valley the bones of the departed
IN Thine estimation of the old He
brews the bones of the dead caused
the greatent of all pOllutions. What
ever person, place or thing they
touched were forthwith considered
''unciean.' Hence this valley of Hin
noun, this hell having been respecta-
Gle OF the human remains which JOSH
all threw into 1t. was considered a
place the most pulluted aud accused.
From this circumstance it became a
common receptacle for all the refuse of
the city of Jerusalem. Here large
quantities of decOmpOsing vegetable
and matter were csn:tantly throWn.-
This putrescant matter generated an
abundance of worms the worms here
never died. TO prevent the noyious
etfluvia, springiug from this mass Of
corruption, poisoning the atmosphere
and breathing disease and death into
the heart of the city, fires were kept
burning day and night. This valley,
therefore. WAS literally q place
"where The worm never died, and
where the fire was never quenched."

expedition has several scientific OBJ
