The Storm King. CINCINNATI, July 5.-The storms of the past three days have seldom if ever been Sualled in severity in Ohio and Indiana, curricanes and tornadoes, with floods ol rain, have followed each other in rapid succession. This city and its immediate vicinity escaped the fury of the storms. The country north of this aud parallel, in Indiana, suffered severely by the furious storms which passed over it on the 2d. 3d and 4th instants. The telegraph wires have been generally prostrated. At Spring field, Ohio, it is reported that the tele graph poles were blown down across tho tumpise so thickly in ?ome places as to entirely obstruct travel east of Springfield. On the Pacific and Atlantic telegraph line there were more than a hundred poles down. Some of them were struck by light ning and others prostrated hythe wind. Passengers from Logansport say the storm vesterday levelled trees nearly all the way from Legansport to Richmond, Ind. In Richmond trees were blown down in the streets. At Washington, Indiana, the storm was exceedingly fierce. Spears of wheat were scattered about wildly and carried many feet in the air. At Colum bus the storm was very severe and de structive. The general prostration of tele graph poles is without parallel in the his tory of the telegraph. An alarmingly large number were shivered to pieces by lightning and totally destroyed, while oth ers were partially " destroy ed and. many prostrated oy the "wind. Tooday will be a busy day in repairing these lines. By to night they will be ready to tell, their his tory of the storm. . DAYTON, 0., July 5.-A terrific storm of wind and rain passed over this city to night, blowing down trees and chimneys. In the country damage to grain, fencing and sheds is said to be extensive. The Miami river is full and still rising. MILWAUKEE, July 5.-A terrific storm passed through Wisconsin on yesterday, which proved very disastrous to pleasure parties at Green Lake, Wisconsin. A num ber of pleasure seekers on the lake were struck DY the.storm, their boats were cap sized and twenty persons drowned. The following are the only names that could he obtained: M. C. Russell and daughter, of Berlin, Wis. ; Jennie Olin, a child of Mr. Allen; Mrs. A. P. Corwin, Mrs. Geo. Harding, Wm. Bearham, wife and child, and Mr. John Bain, all from Dartford. CHICAGO, July 5.-The weather to-day is clear and beautiful. Meagre reports re ceived from the various points in the country show that the storm of the last two days ha^ been one of the most severe kind ever experienced here. An immense quantity of water fell, and there has been a good deal of damage done to telegraph poles by lightning and wind. . NEW YORK, July 5.-During a heavy shower in Andover yesterday afternoon the lightning struck old South Church, and stunned Rev. Mr. Abbot, who was deliv ering the oration, and also Mr. Carter, the . enor of the choir. Both recovered in a few minutes. The church was not mate rially damaged. Several other buildings were also struck. It was the most violent storm experienced here for fifty years. PORTSMOUTH, N. H., July 5.-Several houses here and in the vicinity were struck by lightning yesterday. CIRCLE VILLE, 0., July 5.-The Scilla river has overflowed extensively thc broom corn fields in this vicinity, probably ruin ing some five hundred to a thousand acres. Broom corn is flattened down and washed on. ro that much of it cannot rise. Thx stream is BO high that the roads are im passable between nero and Columbus. No trains have arrived from the East since Thursday. Important from Cuba. The New York Sun says : The following important information has just reached tts from Havana : "Captain-General Pieltain, at a meet ing which he summoned of the colonels and lieutenant-colonels of the various regi ments of volunteers of this city, addressed these representatives of the volunteer or ganizations as follows : ' Gentlemen, I have called you together for.a most serious pur pose. I am instructed by the Government of Sp?in, which I represent in this island, tn suppress the revolution now raging here by every means at my disposal". Spain can send hore no more soldiers. She has already sacrificed thc flower of her army in vainly endea%*oring to suppress this Cuban revolution. Thc forces" at present in the field are clearly inefficient for tho purpose. They are decimated day hy day. and there remains but one method of sal vation. I call upon you, upon the officers and members of every regiment of volun teers of this city except "those absolutely indispensable for the garrisoning of the forts, to come out with me, and .together we will, once for all, terminate this wicked ? rebellion. My horse is ready saddled, and I am prepared to lead you at any moment. To-m?rrow I shall receive from New York three thousand Remington rifles, with am ply ammunition, which ?hail be'distribu ted to arm every man in your ranks, and on the following day we will ?tart for the campaign.' "The officers, in reply, stated that the volunteer organizations had been formel 9 not for the purpose of taking the field, but to afford to the Spanish government means, by garrisoning the cities of the island, by which all other forces could be set at lib erty for use against thc rebels in the field. "At length Captain-General Pieltain. seeing that no arguments that he .could j n^e would induce the volunteers to go out ; iinr1 face the enemy, said;'Well, gentle men, since you, thc- only possible moans by which I can hope to suppress the revo lution, fail me. I most comply with th^ instructions pf the government provided for such a not unforeseen event. These instructions are that I at once put myself in communication with <?arlos Manuel de C?spedes, and accept from him whatever conditions he may dictate, except the in-1 dej>endence of C nba.' The representatives of the volunteer.- then retired." Virginia "Undoes. Virginia papers give an account of the murder of a colored man named Bryant at Culpepper, while be was endeavoring to save his daughter from abduction by two men, who seized him and cut hi's 1 hroat from ear to ear. The Alexandria Seni?n?l.aays: "Thesedesperadoes, named Jamieson and Williams, are still at large, r.nd, with six others, are regularly entrench ed on the spur of a mountain a few miles ? .>uth of the town. They keep a sentinel regularly posted to prevent a surprise while they spend their time at draw po ker. They have plenty to eat and drink, which they procure from neighboring citi zens, on whom they make requisitions, as | v/ill be seen by the following, from which i'. seems 'Wild Jack' is as merry as Robin Hood : ^ LAVA BEDS, June 13, 1373. MR. INSKEEP-Send by Sandy a quar ter of lamb, vegetables, five pounds but ter, one-half gallon of salt, for the Mo docs. WILD JACK. This morning thc Mayor engaged the service) of ten men, headed by Capt. Fultz, the tamed scout of Col. Mosey. They advanced on the encampment, ex pecting to take it by surprise, but were fared on at long range, and Capt. Fultz returned, saying it was not in the pr.wer of any force to arrest the men, and he intends to visit Washington, with a view to consult President Grant. William Handsborough, who accompanied Capt. Fultz, will not bo likely to make another attempt to arrest the outlaws, for Dr. Lewis is of opinion thal he will have to stump it on one leg the balance of his life. ?RCTAL MURDER IN CHARLESTON*.--On -the.-sightof the 4th, Mr. C. Harry West, only ?en of Mr. C. H. West, Jr., was killed in Meidaa's saloon, corner Queen and Meeting streets., under circumstances which stamp it as a crime of the most aggrava ted character. It appears that West was quietly watching a game of billiards, when two brothels, named Jas. A. Duffus, Jr.. aad B. L. Duffus, entered the room, ana -after some words, both brothers struck West in the face. . He .retreated, without returning the blows, when James A. Duf fus drew ? pistol'and'shot West ip the breast.^. The wounded,man staggered and fiat down, and in a few minutes fell dead. The murderer escaped, but waa captured that night i Gerritt Smith on the Cuban Cause. SYRACUSE, N. Y., July 5.-At a great Fourth of July celebration here yesterday, Gerritt Smith," in his address, touched on '?he Cuban question, arraigning the Ad ministration for its coldness towards the cause of Cuban independence, while al lowing gunboats to be fitted out in ??ew York for Spanish use. Cuba, by main taining successful resistance.for nearly five vears.had earned a recognition of- her belligerent rights. He hoped that since the Government hesitated, the people would take up the Cuban cause and force the Government to act.. A resolution was idopted expressing sympathy with Cuba, md calling on the Government toacknowl-' "dee the belligerency, if indeed not the J independence of C uba. GREENWOOD AND AUGUSTA RAILROAD. -The prospects for the completion of lins road are .encouraging/ Letters trom the Treasurer of the company, Hon. John M. Clark, of Augusta, and Col. Charles Wright, of New York, speak of the road as sure of construction. Mr. Clark says that " the building of the road is only a question of time, as the portion from here (Augusta) to Dom's Mine will, without a doubt, form a link of th? Chicago and South Atlantic line." Colonel Wright says: "The road will be built, and it is ?ate to predict that work upon the line will commence this fall, whether the Au gusta corporation will take any official ac rion in the premises, or leave the mer chants of Augusta to act according to their pleasure." VALLE CRUCIS.-The annual commence ment at the Ursuline Institute of the Im maculate Conception came off, yesterday afternoon, and was attended by a large number of the friends and patrons of the institute. The musical programme em braced performances on tbe guitar, harp and piano, with vocal accompaniments. The young ladies performed weil, evidenc ing the care and attention of the teachers. The Fall of Sebastopol, on six guitars, was- a novelty. Honors were conferred upon the following young ladies : Misses Maria Lynch, Mollie Gray, Lottie Lynch, Lottie Devereux, Kate Crenshaw, Lilia Montgomery, Alline Cash, Alice Glover, Fannie Glover, Mary Ellerbe, Lucy Hamp ton, Anna Lynch. The awards were for the useful as well as the ornamental-mu sic,, ribbon and glove cleaning, singing, cookery, arithmetic, painting, orthography, languages, geography, algebra, history, crayon and pencil drawing, fancy work, etc. The valedictory was very prettily rendered by Miss A?lin? Cash, and the closing address by Rev. Father Merri weather. Dr. Lvnch officiated on the oc casion.-^Columbia Phoenix, 3d. The Cholera. CHATTANOOGA, July 5.-The total deaths here" during the past forty-eight hours number 27-fifteen on the 4th and twelve on the 5th ; cholera killed 7 and other causes 20. Of these, 3 were white and twenty four colored. All the choleracases were "colored. This includes the forty eight hours ending at 8, p. m., to day. DALTON, July 4.-A case of cholera here to day. Mr. Robert Lindsay, form erly an employee of the Western and At lantic Railroad Company, left Chattanoo ga yesterday morning, was taken at 4, p. m.; and died at 10 o'clock last evening. His brother is now sick with the disease. Several bad cases of cholera morbus in town, but none "have so far proved fatal. Twenty-one deaths occurred in Nash ville on Wednesday-eleven cholera and ten of other diseases; eight cholera deaths and five from other causes on Thursday. The Robertson Association has been dis banded, and the physicians employed by the city and county discharged. Busi ness is reviving, and the refugees and country people are coming in. The epi demic is considered over in tbs City ol Rocks. But it is worse in the surround ing towns. Nine deaths in Murfreesboro on Monday. Four deaths in Greenville. Among the recent deaths was that of the wife of Dorsey, the tailor who occupies ex-President Johnson's old shop. Only six or seven white families aro left in the town. Ex-President Johnson has so far recovered as io be able to flee with his family. Twenty-four cholera deaths up to the 1st in Lebanon, and ten cases under treat ment. Twenty-two deaths in Goodletts ville up to thc 3d-eight white and four teen colored ; two deaths lu Belevue on the 1st, and live in Nashville. The dis ease rages fearfully at Shelby ville; not less than two hundred cases and forty-six deaths had occurred up to Thursday. At that time nine colored person*- awaited burial. In short, the epidemic ia abating in Memphis and Nashville and extending, with unabated violence, to the lesser towns of the State. The Louisville papers squarely acknowl edge that the man with the bia k valise has arrived. Th& .disease prevails at .Franklin, Frankfort, Bowling Green and all along the Louisville and ash ville Railroad. The cholera rages fearfully in Hunts ville. A great many people have left the rich ones for the" springs, and the poor ones for the mountains. Four deaths have occurred in Birmingham. The alarm was subsiding at the latest account. A Town in Ashes. 15Y TELEOKAPH TO TJIK NEWS AND COUBIEB. FROO LEVELJ July G. A destructive fire visited this town last night, resulting in the almost total de struction ot* th* place. The origin of the tire is not known, but is supposed to have been the act of au incendiary. The Harnes devoured everything that came in the way, and in a few hours had consumed almost the entire business portion of the town, involving a loss of nearly sixty thousand dollars. The following is as ac curate a list of tue losses incurred as can be obtained at this time : F.

Father Kelly, of St. Michael's Catholic Church, Philadelphia, died in the surf heie just before noon to-day. He had been stop ping at the Wyoming House, and while bathing with a company of ladies was seized with an apopletic fit, and died al most instantly. He van an expert swim mer, and his feats in the waves attracted a large party. Suddenly h* threw his hands up and his head fell back on the breakers. Immediate assistance was ren dered, but he was dead before he could be taken on shore. The body was sent to Philadelphia on the afternoon train. Ru mors that he was drowned are without foundation. His head at no time was under the water, and he was not over his . depth when he died. His neck was great ly discolor -d with purple and green bands. He was uuout 30 years old, and was well known in the northern part of Philadel phia. SUDDEN DEATH.-We are pained to re cord the sudden death of Mrs. Weljs, wife of Mr. James T. Wells, one of the attaches of the Phoenix. She left Columbia, on Thursday last, apparently in good health, to pay a visit to her parents in Union County. On Saturday, her husband re ceived a letter, announcing her safe arrival, and Sunday night, a telegraphic despatch from Alston was received by the afflicted husband, containing these words: " Your wife has just died-come up to-morrow." Mrs. Wells was the daughter of Mr. John McKiBsick, of Union. She had been a wife scarcely nine months. Her numer ?os friends deeply lament her losa, and Mr. Wells has the heart felt sympathies of a large circle of friends, in his recent bereavements. Truly has death laid a heavy hand on his family ; it being but just a week previous -to thia his last af dictiozr.that all that was mortal of his father was consigned to the tomb.-Phoe nix, 8th. i THE ADVERTISER. Edgefield, S. C., July IO. 1873. The Railroad Convention In Abbeville. Six wcks or two.'months ago, 'our es teemed contemporary, the Beaufort Re publican, proposed that the citizens of Beaufort, Barnwell, Edgefield, Abbe ville and Anderson should unite in hold4 ing a Railroad Convention at Abbeville Court House, in bohalf of tho contem plated route between Chicago and the Seaboard of our State. In seconding and upholding this proposition, we named the 13th of August as a wise and availa ble day for the meeting of such a Con vention, and our friends of Anderson and Abbeville having adopted our sug gestion, the Convention-will assemble at the said time. The Anderson Inlelligen cer and the Abbeville Press- & Banner cordially approve the meeting and pledge the earnest co-operation of their people in tiie enterprise. In another column will be found a call to the people of our own County ?to as semble in our. Court House on Saleday next, for the purpose of choosing dele gates to this Convention-a call which should set the citizens of Edgefield to thinking very seriously. As regards the ultimate and oven speedy completion of the great railroad line in contemplation, there can be very little doubt ; but as re gards Edgefield being embraced in the said line, there is no such certainty. Such a glorious consummation must depend upon Edgefield's energy, enter prise and liberality. Therefore let ,us meet in full force in response to this call, and send to Abbeville men strong in intellect, in speech, jn will, in spirit of enterprise, and in IOVJB of their native section. And let these men fight for Edgefi?ld, and be empowered to pledge Edgefield's hand, heart, and money ! We must not allow this grand Road to be completed and Edgefield to be loft out. If we do we sink into eternal stagnation and insignificance. And in conclusion, let us warn our people that if ire do not build oxer own portion of this line, no one else will proba bly build it foi us. The Patrons of Husbandry. . Even if there be any doubt as to the grievances of the farmers and the expe diency of the remedy they propose for them, there can be none about the ear nestness of their purpose to test its value, for it is apparent to every one that, throughout the length and breadth of this great country, the Granges are daily growing in members, influence and im portance. And with the growth of the order, fears spring up in many quarters that serious results may ensue from these ef forts of the farmers at reform, unless they are so judiciously directed and so conservatively controlled as to be kept within bounds of moderation, and not permitted to make the rights and inter ests of the farmers clash with the rights and interests of other men in other branches of business who are dependent upon them, and upon whom they are dependent for tho preservation of that ; prosperity and the promotion of thut welfare which is common to the whole people of the whole country. Such fears are constantly and mischievously ex pressed by the Radical press generally. And in this connection we would warm . the Granges not.to permit themselves to be captured by designing men and used for purposes foreign tp those for which they have been honorably instituted. The constitution of the .Granges, Na ; tional, State and Subordinate, declares, in express terms, <hat religious or po litical questions, will not bo tolerated as subjects of discussion in the work of the ordsr, and that no political or religious uses for . membership shall be applied The gentlemen who baye been promi nent in introducing the order aleo make the same declaration. If these declara tions, therefore, are to ne believed, there can be no objection to the order because of its being a political organization. That combination and concert of ac tion on the partof fanners, will, in many ways, practically and materially advance their interests and promote their wel fare, cannai be denied ; and probably no calling in life has hitherto availed itself so little of the mighty pow&f underlying the principle of co-operation asfca* ?hat of the farmer. Certainly no interest has been so much at the mercy of other in terests or so much preyed upon by other interests as the farming interest. Sop arated and Blattered by the very nature and necessities of Ufplr culling, the cul tivators of the soil have oypt, OH a gene ral rule, made loss profit from its pro ducts than any of the many classes of men who handle thom. Incidental to thc general advantages that will accrue to the country from au improvement in tho condition of tho farmers, th ero is one that we look for ward to with much hope, and that is a closer union between tho people of the South and the people of ?io.Xorthwest. Tho interests of i,';.?so two sections are so similar, or, rather, eaeh mi?4}f?t) sec?is so fitted to supply the wants of tu* .^^?.r. that a closer communion between thc two f:an result only in common good. Andalf.flssent we see no machinery so well calculated {?7 bring about- that closer communion betweft/t fj?\o testions of the country, each having nftcd of ?|?e oilier, and each being able to supply-the wants of the other, as the Farmers' Granges or Patrons of Husbandry, or one that promises to be so free trom en tangling political questions of the pres ent and tho past. -Let tho/armers, there fore, whiio t><ze#ifiu tp advance their own iuterests, avoid injury ^o pf hers.- Let them also steadily set their 4'auss, .against thc prostitution of their order to ?iu.ro political partizan purposes, and all will be well. Let them do otherwiso, how ever, ari banu, and harm ouly, will ? come- to them, and to the country at larg?, _ ?m,m,,_,_ ?? An A?<cafcl* ^dju.stpient." A duel hos choired ?n Canada between two New York men of the highest quali ty and fashion-Mr. Gray and Mr. ?eck sher. This dnol has shaken New York high society to its very foundation. Henksher, unmarried, is a gay deceiver, and seduces Mrs. Gray. Hereupon, Mr. Gray, uv the Tribune gently puts it "con siders himself iwswersbjy injured" and challenges Hecksher io ffUtftf^ pombat. Hecksher quaileth not, and thiey impair to Canada to light. At the signal, way shoots at his adversary and wounds the right knee of hi? pants. Hecksher ro serves his lire for a faw moments and then calmly fires into (ho air. And now we give tho conclusion in the Tribune's own words. " As it was agreed that there should be only one discharge, principals and sec onds retraced their steps and returned to this city, the seconds, it is stated, avail ing themselves of the occasion to cause an amicable adjustment of the trouble. This, however, Js' contradicted in other circles, where it is alleged, that Gray in tends *o dpmand another n? isling. This is not generally credited, as it is believed that the next phase of the matter will be presented in the courts, where Mr. Gray will bea plaintiff. And this is the paper that is ever and anon villifying "Southern civilization" because it tolerates the duel as a settle ment of quarrels between gentlemen. At all events, Southern gentlemen do not make such pitifully sham work of it as is recorded above. I have been a dyspeptic for years ; be gan* tb use the Simmpn's Liver Regula tor two years ago ; it has acted like a chann in my case. " REV, J. C. HOLMES, . ' Clayton, Ala. : For tho Advertiser. The Wooden Railroad to Pine House. MR. EDITOR: At the especial solicita tion of yourself, and at the request of a Jaw gentlemen of this town; I visited the pince on'-^the "North-Eastern Railroad/, (Lane Station,)"* where there is a Wooden: Railroad running, and from thence intos Clarendon County. This road is fifteen and on o-h ali mil os long I examined the road carefully, and conclude that it is a good r-'ask. And I concluded further that a similar'road built, from our town to Pine House depot, would answer all thc purposes of transportation to and . from these points. In neatness, and apparent, durability the road is far beyond what. I expected to see. As a matter of information to us, who are Meeking the most practical, easi est and cheapest mode to connect our selves with the C. C. & A. R. R. at Pine House, I will present here tho.mcchani cal structure of both- road and running stock. The road bed is constructed precisely als all other railroads are. The whole structure above the bed is precisely simi lar to other Railroads, except in place 01 iron, this road has wooden stringers, 4 by 5 inches, fastened down to the cross ties bj' long iron spikes, passing through .both stringer and cross tie, making" the stringers very steady and firm. These stringers are five inches upon their face, and the trucks or wheels of the running stock are five inches upon their face. It will be perceived that the friction in run ning, being distributed over wide sur faces, the injury to the rails will bo much less. The flanges to the wheels aro inches, deep, thereby preventing any probability of running off. This will; I hope, suffice as to the mechanical struct ure. In order to form an opinion of the probable durability of the road, I rode out from Lane's Station three miles, where I was put off in order to examine this portion of the road, which has been in operation five months. Trains-have been running daily over this portion for the last five months, yet most of the stringers are perfectly smooth. A few of them have scaled off a little, but hot enough to make a perceptible difference in the running of the cars. Neither is it likely that this would be the case in one year. The pieces that have exfoliated a little are said to be those which happened io be sawed parallel with the running of the grain. J found that no repairs had been made on this old portion of the road. N?ither was lt necessary, as there aro no fractures ( of any of the timbers. Tho truth is, I could And nothing ont of place, except the slight scaling alluded to, and this can make no perceptible difference for a great while to come. I believe the road will endure until the timbers decay, and will be safer than an iron road as to travel, until this happens; for the reason that the spikes* hold the stringers more securely than do the spikes in the iron roads hold tho bars; and that thc flanges being so deep (21 inches) it seems impossible for the train to run off, even if the timbers should be half worn out, which is not likely to happen before they decay. Tho rolling stock on thc road is com mon, but quite effectual. The engine is worth o'aiy ?1,800, but is sufficient to car ry seven or eight cars loaded, at the rate of 15 miles per hour. Tho proprietors are now. gone to. the North for another engine of greater capacity. -1 am assured by several gentlemen of that section, that the road is regarded a success, and answers all the purposes of a first class iron road. The road has cost about twelve hundred dollars per mile. . Wo aro needing just such a road from this place to Pine Honso Depot, and 1 am of opinion that if we go to work earn estly we can build it in four months I have full confidence, not only in its value to us as a people, but in its dividend pay ing qualjtjos.

Elkins, r< porting the enemy to.be conccntratin his forces in large numbers on the farr of J. F. Burress, Esq. Slight skirmish, ing has already com m enc ed, and a sever conflict is momentarily expected. Thi division of Gen./6reen's army looks mor defiant than any part of it heretofor seen. Tho very scene itself is enoug to cause a man to chew his bits wit wrath and indignation. Col. J. A. an J. F. Talbert are again in their saddles and though we once thought them moi tally wounded, we are exultingly happ to announce their speedy recovery. 'Ti conjectured that they anticipate formin a junction with Capt. B. M. Talbert, nea his plantation, as soon as practicable, a Gen. Green bas of late been committin awful depredations upon that farm.

But jus! a the dawn of day the two great ::t .ii? met. 'Twas amusing, and yat melan choly to see tho' tight. Though poorly equipped our brave buys fought deliber ately. Plough-shares, hoes, rakes, snake catchers, frog pinchers, crawfish net:-, musquito blinds, and various other wa: tools were indispensably used. And tlx tight waxed hotter and hotter as tito dav advanced. Two o'clock, P. M.-We are closely be sieged by tho infuriated enemy, ar.d thc day is intolerably hot.

There is a church not far from here by tho name of Redbank ; they have a minister-the Rey. J. F. "Peterson-who bas preached for that church forty years in succession. He has also been the pastor ot' Sardis fif teen years, and there never has been a lifficulty in either of thc churches during the time ; also, there is not a member of Redbank church now alive who remem bers when he was first culled there to "?reach.

Tho eider Grant did not enjoy much .of the wytlty of his son. He. was pensioned olf ivith a small office and a fair allowance of grog and to bacco. He has gone from these comforts. He will never more bump his head On the Capitol steps. Nor will he agnin-engage in fierce encounter with the man sent to watch his eccentric doings in the post of fice.
