HEAVY STORM.

On Tuesday evening last, our towns
were visited by a storm of unusual vio-
lcnce. There had been rainfall -hich
began ut about O'Clock p. H., IN a gent.
ly shower, and which culmina ed at about
6-3 in quite a heavy rain accompanied
by q brisk wind. At this time the rain
ceased, and the wind steadily and rapid
ly increased in velocity until o'clock,
when it assumed the proportions of a
perfect gale. 1t came in gusts, two of
which were seemingly irresistible, and
the roaming noise they made was well
calculated to cause widespread conster-
nation. Fortunately the violence of the
gale was soon expended, not lasting, in
it's greatest power over eight or ten min
utes, and the damages sustained in the
two villages proved to be much less, upon
inquiry after the storm had subsidized,
than any person would have Imagined.
In that part Of St. Francisville situated
upon the hill, the chief damage consisted
in the Prostitution of few fences and
trees, while ut the foot Of the hill, the
wreck left by the fire of the 31st October
last was entirely cleared away. The
chimney left standing after the burning
of the Levy g. Adler building was blown
down. while the remnants of out-huild-
inSs saved from the contlagration in the
square, were Ieveled with the ground.
In Bayou Sara there was the same ef-
feet upon fences and so far as these dam
ages are concerned the loss may be co,n-
ted as singrlarly slight, when the vio-
lence of the storm is taken into account
The greatest, indeed the only material
damage and loss, was sustained by the
wharf-boat Louisville, and the Bayou
Sara Coal Company. The storm blowing
up the river (from the east) struck the
wharf-boat square in the stern, carrying
away about twenty feet OF the roof and
hurting it with tremendous force the en-
tire length OF the boat and lodging it
upon the hurricane deck, at the forward
end, and at the Same time bursting in the
after bulk head above the main deck
The boat " rs forced forward, up stream,
parting three chains and cable, but the
bow line holding good she went head on
into the EanS, preventing collision with
the coal huh that lay just above her.
Through the active and energetic assis-
lance of the citizens and the coal yard
ting Monlton, she was soon safely moored
again. Damage comparatively slight.
Twoboats belonging to the coal company
were swanped. one fully laden and the
other about half full Of coal. The total
amount of coal lost, amounts to about
nine or ten thousand boxes, represent
ting value, of not less than fou: thous-
and dollars.
The stcanier Gov. Allen was rounding
the island below Bayou Sara, when the
storm burst upon lrer, tut landed at the
Depot IL safety after it snbsiied. The
K. r. Lee, mp on Wednesday, reported
having lost 3 hours in the storm, 20 miles
on, from New Orleans. SO far we have
heard of no damage being sustained in
the interior and are inclined to the be-
lief, from the tenor of our adviccs, thai
the gale was confined almost entirely to
the river.

A Washington dispatch dated Jan. 3rd
states that new Pacific railway bill
will be presented as soon as congress

ties to all points northeast and south
west. The proposed railroad will pass
Lake City to Jefferson, Texas; thence
by the International & Great Northern
railroad to San Antonio; thence in a
northwest direction to FL Paso, Del
Norte, to connect with any road or
roads to the Pacific Ocean, now or
hereafter to be built, thus affording
communication with the various mill

The news from Europe is Of an ex-
citing nature not so much on account
of military operations as on account OF
the action of England in asking Russia
for her terms of peace. The indica-
tons are that the war between Russia
and Turkey must soon come to an end,
or England will be drawn into the con-
test and against Russia. There is, how
ever, fair prospect that an armistice
will be granted between the two con-
testing nations, and in that case hostili-
ties will not likely be renewed.

SEVERAL state legislatures are just now
busily engaged in the work of making
United States senators. The warmest
contest is probably that in Ohio between
Geo. w. Morgan and Geo. II. Pendleton.
This contest promises to be exciting and
the result is uncertain. In Kentucky a
contest is going on for successor to
Thos. c. McCreery. The contest has
been going on. quietly for some time.
Now that the members are assembled at
the capital it is found that the fight will
assume triangular form. The three
leading candidates, who command about
equal strength, are Chief Justice Lind
sey, General Cerro Gordo Williams, of
Confederate fame, and James b. Nc
Crcery, the present Governor. Proctor
Knott is also a candidate, but his
strength issmall compared with Lindsey,
Williams and McCreery. The three
latter have, according to the latest cal
culaA6ns, from thirty to forty votes
each, and if their friends stand firmly
by them lively struggle will be the re-
suit. 1t is intimated that the nature of
the struggle may require clark
horse" and that in such an event Cald-
well or Proctor Knott will be brought
into requisition. There are but seven
teen republican, members out of one
hundred and thirty-eight on joint ballot.
General Williams is probably the most
popular man with the masses, but Lind
sey has reputation for the highest abil-
ity and McCreery for the most political
b strength. twill be an interesting fight.
In New York there will probably not
