Tho whole family was moto or lesa injured, Mr. and Mm. Watson being badly hurt, 'vhilo two of tho children woro supposed to bo killed. The traci: of the cyclone was not more than 2?0 or 300 yard* wi le. Irs Peu dletott Township, hail stones aa largo as a man's list fell, killing chickens, pigs, &c. Our informants state that the cloud was very black, and apparently rolled along thc ground, roaring like an immense artillery. Il ia a little singular ilia'. t>sj cyclone occurred on thc same day of the week and about tho same hour as tho one that passed nr-nr thia city last mouth. Bismarck, the German chancellor, ap peared in the reichstag al Berlin and made a ?perch in justification of the Course ?ie had pursued iu refuting to transmit tho Linker resolution lo the reichstag. He ?aid thnt be had recog nized the goo?] intentions of thc Ameri can Congress, but he -va* unable to har nesH hiuic.-li' to the cir of opposition. The relations between Germany and the United Status had al*ayn been pleasant, he wald, and the G ?man government had always tried bi nilli vate them. He declared he would have presented the Losker resolution? had he uot been preveuted by thoir lorin. The resolutions contained a clause directed against the policy which, in the emperor's name, he had been pursuing and which Herr Las ker had opposed for years. Once Bis marck was interrupted by cries of "Shaine I" from the opposition members of thejreichstag, and quite a scene ensued. Tho appearr ncc of Prince- Bismarck in the reicbstag is generally attributed to bis desire to maintain ?"rei udah ip with America. > It ia confidently predicted in Washing ton that the president will veto the Fitz John Porter bill.

Mr. Wilkinson avowed hints-elf as having leisure and the disposition to do active political work this year, and his wish and expectation of putting in solid lab-T for the old ticket. Mr. Tilden respond ed that he could not be made toe Demo cratic nominee under any circumstance-!, and that there ?ere yourrger and stardier men who could bc looked for as pvj?t*s ing all the needed qualit?e? of leadership. Mr. Wilkerson pre**ed him for an indica tion of choice and finally Mr. Tiiden io pretty broad terms intimated that a Dem ocrat with a good war record, asoldier of the Union army, should be the man. ile declined, however, to be any more ex plicit. CONSL'LTINIi THE PEOPLE. lilli Arp"? Mea? or 1'larallnc til? Majorlt/. AtitttUa G/ntiitutwn. Maring a president is a right big thing, il is a kind cl sfifcioi privilege m m. o? long?, to these American people and one thal subjects of king-, and queens and emperors do not have, i dont think the privilege amount** lo much, so far aa the mmm'iii run of folks is concerned, for they hove precious little to do with it, and don't know what is going on un til the thing has happened. A common man knows that two nieu are running, but he don't understand the machinery that set them up and pitted them against on?' another. (Jobe swear? that lie ne*er voted for a president in his life, and wanted to know of me who elected 'em. When 1 told him bow it was and all about the electoral college, "Well," said he, "i do recommember voting for a p.vsel of fellers, and the folks told me it was agi nat tie ncr al Grant and Sherman and all them fellers what come along here and burnt, us out, and that's all I wanted to know about it?" "But," said I, "You voted for General Hancock four years ago, aod he was a yankee general and fought us like blazes." "Hancock-Haucclbk !" said he. "I reckon not, 'squire. I never voted for a Hancock but one time in my lifo and thal was for constable, ajpl he got beat, and the other fidler got hold of a little judgment agi list me and levied on ruy truck outen spite, and I haint voted for a constable since ; and here the other lay I went alter my fvJder thal I left <ver yauder when ? u uved, ai?ti au iu fernal constable had that levied on lor rent. I paid all my last year's tent Lat ure dollars, and disfuruishod my family, and them folks said they would wait on me till next crap for that, and ? thought it was ali settled, but one of them new fashioned 'squires that they call a noto rious republic got out a writ of roaster Bginut roe lor the little dab of rent, and now I reckon the cost is abou1. in much as the debt, don't you?" "I'm afraid it is," said I. "I tell you what's a fact, 'squire," said he, "I've been livin' hero nigh on to 30 rear, and I never kuowed any good to junie of these courts and these constables and sheriffs, and all sich. AU they do is Lo slip around and take all nnderbolt and underwarcs of a poor feller jest for a little Jab of costs. I nover had a oflis in my life ; I never even warned the hands to work on thc road, but I've had to dig for \ livin' all my life, and now it looks like Pm jest obleeged to have that fodder for this here mule, for she made it and she are entitled lo it." Well, Cobe got his fodder and that was A bigger thing with him than making a President, but still most everybody likes to be consulted even if they don't have a hand in the business. It helps a man to be called cn lor his opinion and bia pre terence. There is n heap of civility in sending a man around tu interview the sovereigns. These little attentions dont cost anything, and it's like putting axle grease on the wagon, for it makes things run smooth fora little while. It's a kiud of compliment and nwull* up a lean man a little, and makes a fat one square him self with dignified satisfaction. It is like sending out seed and pub docs to the bumble people, for it flatters the whole family and makes them think they are not utterly forgotten, and are of some little consequence to somebody. Well, nobody hos been to see me yet about thia Presidential business, and I'm suffering for taffy, bul you can telegraph to tho New York Herald that Bill A rp ie hr Tilden and that he will say in Sun day's Constitution that be wanui bim nominated by acclimation and elected by the nation for its own salvation. For the truth is, if patriots don't unite on reform io the government, the great American nation will go to the dogs. I'm for Mr. Tilden because he has got reform on the Drain. He cleaned out the augean sta bles in New York, and knows bow to do it. He fought corruption single handed and whipped the fight. He never talks about the tariff or the Mormons, or Bismarck, or the heathen Chinese, but he talks about iniquity in high, places, and corruption, and thieves aod plunderers. He Is th? man they swindled out of tho presidency because ? oo^jwore afraid of him.

None of your ac idencys like we have had. In fact, the ; v'icc-rrcsideol's office is looming up, for he Presidents most all die nowadays, or ;et killed.

A Unllroad Strike. OREES VILLE, March 21.-About seven - .y-livc hands employed iu grading the jircenvillo and Laurens Railroad near :his city struck at 1 o'clock to day. They nade no formal demand upon tho cou .ractors, bul from thc best I can learn :hcy hope to establish shorter time, com plaining ibat they aro worked too many hours in the day, and they desire also un increase of pay and lo be paid their lurplus of money over und above rations oftener than ever twenty-six days, which I understand has beeu the rule. The strikers started about thirty in a body, and proceeding to the di fi?rent semads tinder the several overseers offered vio lence to those who refused to join in tho strike. Their effort to make the strike general was a failure, however. Those inclined to continue at work under the present pay of one dollar per day and under the regulations in force offered to meet force with force, and Ihoso in favor of working being in the majorily the strikers, about aexenty-hve in number, left the road somewhat demoralized. Several of the number have since mado application for work. The best of them will probably be reinstated to morrow, while the worthless and turbulent will be denied employment. Tho whole number, I am informed, can be replaced with fresh hands ie a very abort time, as the cont -actors find no trouble in getting a plentiful supply of labor. The bauds are worked, I am told, from sunrise until shortly after sundown. - A force of muskrats, numbering fully 200 and all of them aa largo as cats, have made their appearance in Charlotte, and created considerable excitement. They attacked five farmers while at work, and they were compelled to take rofuge in flight, after being severely wounded.

WASHINGTON, Marc1, 21.-Senator ' Uiair, several nines since the opening of Lhe session, ha.^ expre*>9e?l tu me bi- great ! hope that Congress would no longer de- ' lay what he Ibiiiko is certnin to come 1 iOOner or ...ter -the appropriation from 1 lu?- national treasury of a liberal sum lo itid the ."r?ales in keeping up a system of public education. With the session well worn ami the calend?is crowded with all kinds of legislative raw material lie con tinues to pre-s mi? measure for consider- 1 ilion and he at.;! believes tba', united, 1 harmonious action on the . part of it? friends will insure its passage. The Sen- ' iitor has made au elaborate exposition ??f ( lhe committee bill lo the ?Senate. It U | ?ltnfnt exactly the .-ame bill be has been 1 trying to pass ?'ir several years Briefly, it gives ?itteu tnitlioD? the first year and 1 reduces this sum by oue mi.hon every ?rear for ten years, when the a??pr?>pria- 1 tiou is to cease. Tho money is to be dis tributed on the basis of illiteracy and to be applied under the laws and" by the ?ebooi machinery of the several .States. Georgia would receive over eight hun dred thousand dollars thc first year of tuc operation of th?s bill. lu his* argu ment lo the .Striate Mr. Blair ?ploted a -?peech ol ?State School Commissioner '.?rr, delivered before a congressional uoairoittee and thus commended the Georgia educator. 1 desire to say that Superintendent Orr can speak* with larger and more reliable authority prob ably from the standpoint of an educa'ed, energetic and patriotic Southern mau up.jii luis aubjeel than any other mau whatever in the whole country. I c??n sider his statements as of vtry special significance, and entitled not alone to the attention of the Senate, but of the entire country. A great many other authorities from all patti of toe Union were quoted. The Senator made a strong case lor bis ' 111. He will follow it up with the active, untiring personal efforts which ho gives to everything he takes hold of. 1 fear the chances of the bill are not so good in the House as iu the Senate. Mr. Aiken, Chairman of the Committee on Education, is said to be opposed to thc general idea of the bill, and lhere aro several members of the House who have openly declared their opposition to any bill of the kind. One of tho strongest reasons put forward in its support is that the great bulk of the illiteracy which now oppressed the South was put upon it by thc- government's act ol emancipa tion and that it is thc duty of tho gov ernment to aid the States in elevating the negro uearer to au intelligent com prehension of tho responsibilities of citizenship. A Bold Robbery. AUGUSTA, QA., March 22.-This morn ing, while H. D. Crocker, Bookkeeper of the Commercial Bank of this city, was making exchanges with the National I Bank at tho couuter of the latter, he was 1 approached by two unknown parties, one of whom presented a check in bis face, and commenced to question him closely, seemingly for information. When tho party went out, Crocker found that apile of money, ?2,70O, had been stolen from the satchel nt his side. Considerable ex citement prevails. There is no clue to tho parties, but they arc believed to be the same who "worked" the Macon banks OU Thursday. LATER. AUGUSTA, OA., March 23.-?-The mon ey stolen yesterday from the clerk of the Commercial Bunk was found this after noon in an outhouse of a ho?ise of ill fame in this city. Last night, at 10 o'clock, n special train left hero for Al lendale, with the officers of tho Commer cial Bank and police officers, in response to the telegram from the conductor of the Port Hoy al train that two suspicious characters bad boarded his train outside Augusta. They were arrested at Allen dale and held in custody until the arri val of tho special train from this city. The prisoners arrived in Augusta at 2.?J0 o'clock. They gave their names as Sim mons and Watkins. They had keys and blank checks in their possession. A clergyman on tho train overheard a con vernation between tho persons arrested. One said to the other : "Don't forget No. 928, one street from depot." Alter the arrests at Allendale the clergyman mentioned to the conductor his having heard the above remark, and on this clue the police rent to work and found $2,440, sixty dollar less than the amount stolen, bidden under a plank in a house in the yard. The robbers registered yesterday at the Globe Hotel as from Aiken, S. C., under the names of G. Watson and C. H. Simmons, bot it is believed that they were traveling under assumed names, aa no such men live at Aiken. The pru ners are in jail here.

Of the South lioiton gang lea have beeu arres ted, all between lea and sixteen years of j age. These ?ads organized themselves into the Fitz Club and fitted up head quarters in a cellar. The leader of the treing is a boy of fifteen, who was com- | ini'.ied for two years but was released at the expiration uf a year. The Deys call their leader "Billy the Kill." Their scheme was to ?ave up money for thc purchase of arms and in the Spring steal i boa: in which they would ?tart ou a royage of adventure. Th Sa'e-m organ ization is ol more importance, as the joys aro older and had a supply of arms ind money. No crimes have beca com mitted. The boys were projecting a ?eries of robberies. In Lowell iive boya ire under arrest for highway robbery. Their victims were the sons of James L. Campbell, one of the proprietors of the Lowell Morning Timer, and Charles For rest.
