¡tí¡r The season continúen tobe
very wet. Heavy rain have fallen
thiti week, and some farmers are
beginning to despair of the wheat
crop. A chango of weather is
earnestly desired, but the prospect
is quite gloomy. Corn crops are
promising, and will do well if the
weeds can be kept down. As the
ground is too wet to plow, many
farmers are industriously plying
the hoe in the intervals between
showers. Success to them.
J6P"An acquaintance, who passed
through Grayson county since the
storm, tells us of a young lady who
was carried a considerable distance
by the tornado and lodged in the
boughs of a treo. Strange to say.
she was not seriously hurt. A lit
tie child was lifted up and swepi
against a wagon, but without suf-
fering material harm.
tejf The storm of last Sunday
week, some account of which ap-
peared in last Friday's paper, waf-
very damaging to the crops in the
upper portions of this and adjacent
parts of Grayson county. A great
ileal of fencing was blown down,
dome trees wore prostrated and n
few houses in Grayson county arc
said to ha\'e been demolished, but
it is now believed that no lives
were lost from it. The loss of
life was occasioned by a storm

EIGHT PSRSONS KILLED.
Ten Houses Destroyed.
A tornudo of terrific violence
and very disastrous and fatal in its
effects, visited the upper portion
of Dallas county last Sunday night,
between the hours of ten and
eleven o'clock. From the best in-
formation wo havejbeen able to ob-
tain, it formed about three and a
half or four miles to the south of
Piano, between Spring creek and
Duck creek, and first struck the
house of a Mr. Pickett, which it
destroyed. It then struck and de-
stroyed the house of a Mr. Love-
•
lace, and that of a neighbor whose
name wo have not leurued. No
lives were lost at any of these
places, nor were any of the occu-
pants seriously hurt. The next
house strack was that of a Mr.
Volney Caldwell. The family, it
seems, had retired to rest, but
were aroused by the approaching
storm, and apprehending danger,
had hastily dressed themselves, or
were engaged in dressing, when
the tornado came upon them. The
house was struck, swept from its
foundations and almost instautly
demolished. Mr. Caldwell, his
wife and three chitdren were
killed. A daughter (the oldest
child) received groat bodily injury,
hut at last accounts was still living,
fwo blacks were also killed, male
ing the total number killed at the
Caldwell place, seven. The body
of Mrs. Caldwell was found nearly
two hundred yards from the place
where the house stood. From the
Caldwell place the tornado con
litiued in a southerly or south
easterly direction, and destroyec
five or six other houses, but wo arc

It seems certain, however, that one
other person, a child, was killed
(the name we have not learned,
and some reports are current that
three persons wore killed, and sov
eral badly crippled, between the
Caldwell place and Breckinridge
but we cannot vouch for their cor
reetnoss. Two houses are reportec
to have been destroyed near Breok

place on the night of the 14th inst.,
while Judge Kelly, of Pennsyl-

crowd of blacks. A number of
whites wore also present. A Mo-

The Judge was interrupted by a

one point. The majority recom-

were not much injured, not
far enough advauced.
It seems there were two cur-
rents of air, that traveled from a
North West direction, abqut a
mile apart, and parallel with each
other, the destructive force of each
not being perhaps over a half mile.
It came on almost instantly, with
a roaring noise and whirling mo-
tion.
Near Warren, in the edge of
Fannin county, tho house of Mr.
Ferguson was blown down, three
of his children killed and his wife
crippled. Bice Basket's house in
Grayson county was blown down,
and all out buildings destroyed*
everything about the house was
carried away. John Robinson's
house blown down, carrying away
a trunk containing $100 in gold,
besides several valuable Confeder-
ate bills; the trunk and gold wore
lost, but tho Confederate was for-
tunately found. A Mr. Acres'
kitchen, smoke-house, half of
dwelling house, wagon, bee gums,
&c., were all taken without his con-
sent. Poindextor's houso badly
damuged, and his wife and one, or
perhaps two, of his daughters in-
jured. Buck Hall's house was
gently lifted up and carried some
distance, fortunately no one hurt.
Hungate's houses, fences, &c., de-
stroyed. Lavender's kitchen was
blown against his dwelling house,
and the whole thing knocked into
" pi," no ono hurt. George Du-
gan's buildings unroofed, and
fences blown down. Aston's out
houses; &c., shared the samo fate.
Every bod}''in the current suffered
moro or less, the number of deaths
or injuries is remarkably small,
considering the terrible violence
of the storm. Hail stories fell
between the two currents, that
from report would have woighod a
pound; their jagged forms wore
calculated to produce a very un
pleasant sensation had they come
in contact with the cranium.
Rumor says that Ladonia in
Fannin county was almost destroy-
ed; of this we cannot vouch. We
anxiously wait for further news.

a joint resolution passed by the
late so called Legislature and ap-
proved by Prov. Gov. Throckmor-

one from the Senate and two from
the Houso wore sent to JS'ew Or-
leans to remove the romains of
(ion. Albert Sydney Johnston to
the State Cemetery of Texas, and
the sum of $2000, or so much thoro-
of as should be nocossarv, was ap-
propriated to carry out the provis
ions of this resolution.
Now the people have a right to
know how their money is expended.

If so, we should take pleasure in
publishing their statement of the
amount drawn under this appro-

any, has been refunded to the

The following
om a letter from
the Messrs. Mc.Manus, in Chihua-
hua, to Messrs. DiffenderfCr & Co.,-
in EI Paso, and sent by the latter*
to a gentleman in San Antonio :
" Wo were thrown into u ,casfe
iron perspiration, last week, by the
announcement of the 'discovery of
a rich placer of gold at Choreros,
about thirty leagues from here, to-
wards the N'ortc. We were sho\yn
some as fine specimens as ever'
wore taken from Chihuahua. Wo
immediately sent a man out to
prospect, and ho returned yester-
day aud reported that there was
tleuty of gold, 'in his opinion/ but
ie did not find it—that it will re-
quire much labor aud funds to
prospect the region well. In his
opinion, tiie gold lies under a stra-
tum of Caliche, which will luive to
be passed in order to reach gold
bearing dirt. This theory may bo
correct, and it may not. The peo-
ple here are terribly alborotado—
over four hundred have left here
for the new lil Dorado. They of
course, in our opinion, will return
without anything ; yet it is possi-
ble they may find a little gold in'
the crevices of the slate in the ra-
vines, but it is doubtful. 1'Cggs
has gone out to examine, and wo'
are anxiously awaiting his return,-
as his opinion will be worth some-
thing. Our opinion is, fiom what
we have heard, that if experienced
miners were to go there, they
would doubtless find an abundance'
of gold. The wildest reports are
circulated in reference to these'
minea, none ol which do we be-
lieve. Y\ e would not advise any'
one to come until further develop-
ments are made. We shall not'
fail to advise you of anything in
regard to these mines that may
turn up."
Mr. Difienderfer adds that other'
letters received by different parties
in El Paso Iroui Chihuahua, give1
about the same account as tho'
above.
