DISASTER 10 TIM RoATs, BUT, FoRru-
NATElN, No LIVES LOST.
MADISON, Wis, August 11,-A
terrible gale struck this city last
evening about halfpast eight, The
Scutanawhequon, ON Lake Monona
was bringing apicnic party ofabout
forty persons across from Winnie
quah when in the middle of tho
lake the storm struck her, carrying
away her smoke-stack and wooden
awning and disabling her engine SO
much that she was at rho mercy of
the waves. After drifting about for
half an hour she struck against tho
Wling Of the Northwestern road,
and all the passengers were saved.
The boat, however, is nearly u total
wreck, Halfof the passengers wcro
women end children, and all be-
havcd in u heroic manner,
The steamer Bay State, ON the
same lake, was near her pier at
Tonyawatha, with n small party on
board, when the storm struck her.
Her smoke-staok and awning were
carried away. She dritted about
half u mile, and struck the beach
at Winncquah bay, All her pas
sengors wero saved.
Tho steamer Mendoza was in tho
center Of Lake Mendota with u large
load Of passengers when tho storm
struck her, but she rode out of the
gale without difficulty. Tho sud-
dcnncss and violence of the storm
was never equaled, and the only
wonder is that some lives wore not
lost.

then in command of the regiment, a
gallant soldier, received a wound in
the neck from a min ME ball, which
disabled him and he wass compelled to
take care of hinseh, being closely
pursued by the enemy, into " hose
hands he soon fell. he was not with
the regiment again for tbout six
months, and Col. w. Z. PrOsser TOOK
command.
This was one of the hardest cavalry
campaigns of the war. For miles
around, the country was laid waste, be-
inc rnn over by the retreatiBg and ad-
vaneing forces Fences, gardens, aids,
and residences along The line, all suf-
fered in the general work OF destruc-
don. Families were driven into their
houses, whose doors were closed to
save life. All this was kept up until
about o. M, when we came TO very
large plants tiou, where we called q
halt. and around al about which ey-
.ergthing seemed 10 cluster. No line
of battle could be seen. In few mo-
ments after the writer arrived, word
passed around from one to another that
this meant surrender" The cry
soon went up from almost every
man, We go out or dle!' In
less than five minutes the
blockade was raised, and such yells
were scarcely ever heard. Had the
enemy been in our front in force he
would have had 10 give way before
such determination. The Tennesseans
would rather have died than TO suTreD-
der. The writer never knew just what
that halt did mean nor does he yet,
but the facts are given, aud the popu-
lar deductions of the soldiers.
Tho ann fusi0n was inarpaaRH nv the
presence of several thousand refugees,
male and female, old and young, most
of whom were mounted on horses and
mules. By the time we commenced
moving again, heavy columns of the
enemy were moving upon either
flank. The shades of night soon closed
in upon US, however, and the enemy
as much exhausted as we
were, aud the disposition to stop for
refreshment for man and beast
to be mutual. Advantage
vas taken of this iull in the pursuit
and fight to reorgRniZs our troops.
The General commanding issued an
order for this purpose. Cryers were
put out for the different regiments to-
rally upon, so that straggiers Nigh
find their command. By 10 o'clock at
night, those present. were tnabltd to
lind their regiments and those who
had anything to eat ate it. About II
o'clock the bugle was sounded and
every man was promptly in his saddle,
he object being to steal a march on
the enemy. under cover of night. We
marched all night without being mo-
ested, and thought we were quietly
getting away from the enemy, but
when the sun began to make its APP
D6aTauce over the Eastern lilIS, and
light up the Mississippi plains, 10, and
behold. the enemy was there. He had
stolen a march on US.

THE big guns will be fred in the
Senate this week. Mr.. Blaine spoke
yesterday on the political features of
the Army Appropriation bill. We
presume that Conkling, Edmunds,
Thurman, Bayard and other leading
men on both sides of the Senate
will be heard. The effort to bull
doze the President will not succeed,
without resistance. The great
speech of General Garfield in the
House, was more than all the Dem
ecrat could answer in a whole
week. His arguments are unan-
swerable. If the Democrats could
have foreseen what was to follow,
they never would have forced this
extra session of Congress upon
the country. But they have
gone too far now to
retrace their steps. They
have injured their cause beyond
reparation, but it is too late now to
prevent the damage. When Blaine,
Conkling and Edmunds have made
their speeches in the Senate, and
exposed the plans of the insurrec-
tionary Democratic leaders, the
Democratic prospect for 1880 will
be a most gloomy one. |

Thin hair is thickened, falling hair

not always, cured by its use. Moth

Georgis, the 30, IN Herald say, is in

prosperous coloted family has one dog,
the poorer families keep two, and the
most impecun;ous will be found to

explains why sheep farming IN Geor-

THE COMING GREAT CO MEit-
CIAL REVOLUTION.

Ocesn steamers are building 10
France TO Iun bttween HavIe an New
Orleans. 1t signifies nothing how
| fatal epIdemics msy be in towns and
cities of the valley of the Mississippi.
These must grow nch and powerful if
not populous. The products of such
valley aud of twenty-cIght S,s:es
along tributaries of the liver must
seek the sea through the jetties. l.
the present depth of water be matt
tanned these httora! cities must rec,ye
and ship wheat, cotton aad tobacco
that heretofore has been removed away
from these rivers and these ties TO
the Atlantic sesboard by railways.
These river cities at which railway
systems converge, despite the terrors
inspired by yellow fever, must become
rich and powerful. To destroy Vicks
burg, into which must be sent the pre-
drc's of ore-half the State of Misssis-
sipi that these may be shipped TO New
Orleans, is impossible. Iu June, when
the river everywhere below Vicksburg
is mere than fifty feet deep, ocean
steamers may land at the whsrVes of
Vicksburg or of Memphis as we'll as
at New Orleans. The commercial
map Of the country, if Eads's jetties
accomplish the purpose contemplated,
will be inverted. The whole tendency
and course of trade, except in the At
lantic and New England States, will
be diverted from New York, Boston,
Philadelphia and Baltimore towards
Memphis, Vicksburg and New Orleans.
Galveston will confess the force of the
reyulsiop, and the good fortune and
prosperity of New Orleans will be con-
fessed in growing trade with Mexico
and Central America. Railways
from Kansas and Missouri win be
drawn by an irresistible force towards
cities on the Gulf coast. New York is
too remote, and railway transportation
across half the continent too costly.
The M. X. and T. terminating at Den
ison is forced to have an open route to
the sea at Indianola or at Sabine Pass.
The necessities of Morgan's steamship
line close the Central road against
competing land routes from New York
to Galveston, and such is the wealth
of Tt xas, and such are the necessities of
Kansas and Missouri, and of their
cities and roads that these must have
an open highway to the gulf coast.
The construction of these French
steamers to ply between Nsw Orleans,
Vicksburg, Memphis ard Havre is one
OF series of commercial results, which
will transform Southern cities and en-
due them, with degree OF vital force
and commercial vigor, against which
the terrible plague will enter ghostly
protests IN vain. 1t is only unfortunate
that the worlds commerce must ascend
the Mississippi against its current to
each New Orleans, and De Lesseps mSy
yet be induced to abandon his mad
scheme in Central America and join
Cowdon in cutting ship canal, like
that across Suez, from New Orleaas to
Barrataria Bay.
