Banner and Whig Ext pa tunc o. PARTICULARS OF THE STORM. Extract from a letter to the Editor, dated SiiELBiviLLE Ten. June 2, 1G30. Dear Sir. Shelbjville is in ruins. On Monday night 31st May, about 12 o'clock, it plea-ed an all wise Providence to visit this place with a most devastating hurricane. The court house market-house, Methodist Cmrch, the Brick Hotel, the Bank, and many other valuable buildings were prostrated in an instant. Five young men were killed, and many otners brused and wounded. Mr. Newton, editor of the S'.elbyville Intelligencer, wn3 carried nmidt the ruins ol his house ICO yards, and instantly killed and dreadfully mangled; the other young men who w.ro. kdled

were Mr. David VYhitsonaud Mr. Caldwell, addler; Mr. Rideout;and Mr. Arnold, e'erk in Mr. James 11 id's Sture. Messrs. Blackman, Dodson, Solomon Devs, and mtny others were badly hurt. About thirty-eiuht stores and shops, an J ten or fifteen dwelling houses were overthrown. I shall not attempt to describe the scene. Those who have seen most of such scenes, 1 imagine, attempt the least to describe them. No one heard the fall of a tree, or fence, or house. It wa3 one constant, monotinous, shrill roar the voice of the Tempest. The lightning was one constant flash rendering every thing visible. The earth was covered with a sheet of water. From the public square east, all is one undistinguished mass of ruins. The very foundations of many houses were blown up, and scarcely one stone left upon another. The preservation of lives amid such destruction of habita tions seems almost miraculous. Many found themselves lying on the doors without a roof ov r them or walls around them; others were extricated by their own exertions; r th t of their friends, from the midst of rafters, beams and rubbish. Some were carried to a distance between masses, of timber and brick bats. The storm began to subside, and the cry of distress was heard. People half naked were eeen running through the streets to extricate their friends.or convey them to a place of safety. Mr. Arnold's case was very pitiable. In passing from the store to the street, the corner of a living door struck him and tore out a portion of his lungs. He was still able to run into the street, where he was picked up and carried into an unroofed house and laid upon the floor; thence he was taken to a bed, and lay during that night and the nest day in the greatest agony, which he bore with remarkable fortitude, and at length died, giving bis friends the most consolatory evid'-rce of his unshaken and triumphant faith. The damage is variously estimated, from fifty to a hundred thousand dollars. Some have lost their all, and arc without houses, furniture, or food. Air. Turrentine's Jewellery shop was liferally torn to pu ces, and his whole stock scattered in every direction. The goods in most of the stores sustained a good deal of injury. Extract from a teller to the editor, dated Charlotte, Ten. June 1, 1C30. About half past ten o'clock la-t night, our village was visited by a Tornado, the violence and destructive fFects of which no pen can describe. nor can they be adequately conceived' except by those who were witnesses to the awful ai d terrific scene. Our little town is now, literally, a heap of ruins. Many, who but yesterday had a comfortable home, are now without a place even to shelter themselvF, while their clothing and provisions have all been swept away in the general wreck. The wind approached the village from the south west, and although the appearance of j the sky va frightful, and one constant glare of lightning inspired awe and alarm, yet no one anticipated, none could anticipate, and even r.o it is difficult to rcaiz what the ravages of a five minutes have produced. But yesterday, we were at ease, and comfortably situated: today, many are wandering about the streets, not knowing where to go or how to procure the means of supply ing their necessities. Many, who but yesterday were blessed with health and full enjoyment of the comforts of life, are now languishing on their beds, with broken limbs or mangled bodies, and some with scarce a hope of recovery. But amidst all these C.i n Til 1 i fJ jlli-i In nrl r C ' nrnfjtinr. Providence h, Wn HiSnll in ihtl almost mirarlous preservation of many I J . i . 1 . . r 1 01 our citizens.Shipwreck. It with the greatest regret says the Liverpool Times of the 22r;d. w" have to communicate the particulars of one of the most fatal shipwrecks that has occurred on the coast of this country for several years. On Friday night h?t, the Newry, captain Crohi. from the port of Newry, bound for Quebec, with about 400 passengers, ran on the rock's at Poi tlinclineon, near Banl-ey, in Carnaervon Bay, arid was dashed to pieces in a few hours, two

hundred of the passengers perishing in the wreck, A considerable part of the passengers were below when the fhip struck, and such was the violence of the shock that the ladders between the

decks were knocked away, and the ship filling with water, every soul below per ished. The captain with about half the passengers, succeeded in reaching the shore. They were all in a most wretched condition, many of them having lost every thing they possessed in the world. A passenger just ai rived from Poitlinclineon, states that the ship had gone to pieces, an ! that the shore was covered with dead bodies. Gov. Houston and his Wife. The Nashville Banner of the 7th inst. furnishes the particulars of an investigation ot the causes which led to the separation of Gov. Houston from his wife. The investigation was conducted bv a committee of 12, appointed at a meeting of citizens of Sumner, county, Tennessee. From the report of the committee it appears that shortly after marriage, gov. Houston became jealous of his wife, and mentioned to one or two persons that he believed that she was incontinent and devoid of t tie afLctions which a wifr ought to have towards her husband. The committee also state that he rendered his wife unhappy by his unfounded jealousies and his icpeated suspicions of her coldness and want of attachment, and that the was constrained, by a sense of duty to herself and her family, to separate from her infatuated husband and return to hei parents, which she did early in April last ; since which time, she lias remained in a state of dejection and despondency. The report concludes by saying, thai his suspicions were groundless, that hi? unfortunate wife is now and ever has been in the possession of a charactet unimpeachable ; and that she is an moo cent and injured woman, there is not the semblance of doubt. s The following h' a letter wiitten b Mr. If. to the father of his wife, shortly af!er the separation: "Mr. Allen The most unpleasant and unhappy circumstance has just tak en place in the family, and one that was entirely unnecessary at this time. Whatever had been my feeling or opinion in relation to Eliza at ooe time, I have been satisfied, and it is now u ti that any thing should be adverted to. E'iza will do me the Justice in say Uiai she believes I was really unhappy, Thai I was sotified and believed her virtuous I had assur.-d her on la-d night and this morning. This should have pr vented the facts ever coming to your knowledge and that of Mrs. Allen. I would not for millions that it had ever been known to you. But one human beirg knew any thing of it from me, and thai was by Eliza's consent and wish. I would havw perished first ; Sz if m i la! man had dared to charge my wife or say lught against her virtue, i would have slain him. That 1 have, and do love i Eliza, no one can doum that I have ever treated her with afle.ction, she will admit that she is the only earthly object dear to me, God will bear witness. "The only way this mallei can now be overrntn , will be for us all to meet as though it had never occurred, and this will keep flu? world, as it should ever be, ignorant that such thoughts ever were. "Eliza stands acquitted by me I have received her as a virtuous and chaste wife, and as such 1 piay God I may ever regard her, and trust I ever shall. 'She was cold to me; and I thought did not love me; she owns that such wa3 one cause of my unhappiness. You can judge how unhappy ! was to think that ! was u- itedtoa woman who did not love me. Tiiat time is now pas', and my future happiness can only t xi-tj in the assurance, that Eliza and myself can be happy, and that Mrs. Allen and you will forget the past, forgive all, and find your lost peace and you may rest assured that nothing on my part shall be wanting to restore it. L:t me know what is to be done. Your most olrt. SAM. HOUSTON. April 9th, 1C30. Emigration of the Indians. Mr. Jefferson was early impressed with the expediency of inducing the Indians to emigrate to the West of the Mississippi, hi a letter to General G iter, of July Hih. 1801, he yviites: "I accept with P!CJUre ' autJ h pleasure reciprocate 1 UIJI J congratulations on the. arntiisif ion of Louisiana: for it is a subject ofmutual congratulation, as it interests every man of the nation. The territory acquired, as it includes all the waters of the Missouri and Mississippi, has more than doubled the area of the U dtod States, and the nnv psrl is not ijferjor to the old, in soil, climate, productions, and important communications. If our Legislature dispose of it, yvith the wisdom we have a right to expect, they may make it thp means of tempting all o tr Indians, on the East siite of the Mississippi 10 remove 10 me n csi, una oj condtnsin r instead of scattering our population.

Fret Blacks in Louisiana, The bill passed at the late session of the Louisiana Legislature, provides for the ex

pulsion of free persons of color. It contains 1? sections, the purport of which jis, that all free negroes, mulattoes, and other free persons of color, who have come into the State since the 1st of Jan. 1 825, in violation of the Act passed on the 14th of April, 1807, or who may hereafter come into the State, shall be ordered to leave the same within CO dajs, under the penalty of one yearns imprisonment at hard labor; and unless they depait in 30 days alter the expiration of their sentence, the penalty shall be increased to imprisonment for life. An exception is made in favor t f those holding property, on which they actually pay State taxes, so far as to allow them one year before departure, on condition of giving security for their good behaviour, and that they will depart whenever the year has expired. Free persons of color who shall come into the State as seamen, &c. attached to any vessel, and who shall .not depart with said vessel, provided she is destined for an outward voyage, or if not, who shall remain in the Siate longer than 13 days, are made liable to the same penalties as above provided. Free persons who shall knowingly bring or cairse to be brought into the State, any free person of color, and shall hold him as a slave or cfi r to sell him ns a slave, are made subject to a penalty of 5(1000 for each oflence, over and abov e 1 lie damages which may be recovered. Persons emancip iting si ves are rf qui red to give bonds of 1000 for each person so emancipated, conditioned on the permanent removal of the same from Jhe State, uhhin one month after ihe act of emancipation. The murder of Mr, White captained. The Salem Observer givs 1 lie fol lowing particulais of the confession of Captain Joseph J. ivnapp, Jr. Some months since Joseph J. Knapp, Jr. who marri' d the giand niece of Captain White, and the daughter of his house keeper, stated a hypothetical case to a lawyer, and from him understood that if Captain White (lied intesta'e, his mother in law, as the sole representative of Captain White's sister, vonld inherit half the estate all the other heirs at law being representatives t Capt While's brother. la order to if et thh object, Knapp proposed to his brother John F. Knapp, to t mder Capt. White. His brother replied that he would not do it himself but he knew who would; he could get Richard Crovvnii, shield, Jr. R Crowninshield, Jr. was employed by John F. Knapp, at his brother's request, ami was to receive, we understand, 1000 for accomplishing the ob et. O Friday 3 1 April, J, J. Knapp Jr. went into Captain White's Chamber and took from the iron chest a will, which he supposed to be Captain W's !;1?t carried it to Wenham, and Uopl it in Ins possession until he heard of C apt. W death and ihen destroyed it. On the came day h procured the will he unbarred the window by which CrownintdiioLl entered. Knapp returned to Wenham same da) ; and did not return to Sah rn again until the murder was committed. The muuh-r was committed by Crowninshield alone. He alone was in the house. It was effected by a dirk, (which has not been found as reported,) aod by a bludgeon of hickory with a large head, loaded with lead. The murder was committed about 20 minutes past 10 o'clock. Whilst the deed was doing, F. Knapp, was watching in Brown sireet, and it was him whom Mrs. Bray saw. It was Crowninshield whom she saw j in him after the deed: whom Capt. ra' e;nv run Jo'vn Howard street under the steps of the. H .ward street Meeting house the bludgeon was deposited; and there it has been found K.iapp's confession having led to its discovery. The day after the murder J. F. K iapp and Crowninshield rode to Wenham, where J. J. Knapp, jr. gave C. all the money he then had, being 100 live-franc pieces; at which time Crowninshield stated to hirn the manner in which the deed was accomplished. J. J. Knapp, Jr. acknowledges himself the author of .several infamous anonymous letters, which have been sent to the Hon. Stepheti White and the Committee cf Vigilance, since the mur dcr We do not ltarn that K. implicates any other individual but R. Crowninshield, Jr. and his own brother, A singular discovery has been made in Eng. nd, in the fine arts, it is a steam process i y wIikIi good breeding may be learned in a wtek.. So powerful and erhcitnt is the machinery, that a (Jalmut k Tartar can be made a civilized man in ten days, in all but ths whiskers.

From the Kentucky State fmsn.' I have just seen the President's Message, and given it an attentive perusal. It strongly and distinctly marks the policy of his administration, on t lie much agitated subject of Internal Improvements. He does not design, it semis, to mount this hackneyed hobby. His constitutional objections are frankly

land impressively urged. 1 he fearless .advocate of state lights, he hold's that the Federal G vernment, has no power, under the Constitution, to make roads, w ithout the consent of the Slates through which they pass; that it has no power to erect toll gates thereon, or exorcise any kind of jurisdiction over the soil, in derogation of the sovereign ty of Ihe State?. On the other branch of the subject the power to appropriate the national funds to purposes of internal improvement, in aid of private j companies, the state retaining entire jurisdiction, he takes a sound distinction, between improvements stale, or local in their character, and those which are general or national in their advantages. The first he believes unconstitutional, and under this conviction rejected the M.iysville and Lexington Turnpike R ad Bill. The latter power he is convinced may be safely exercised, and in illustration and confirmation of this view, he cheerfully signed the Bill appropriating 50,000 to remove the obsti actions to the safe navigation of the Ohio and .Mississippi rivers. In this ten states were interested, and none w ill enjoy its benefits moie extensively than Kentucky. He also approved, at the clospof the session, a Bill appropriating $200,000 for extending the great national highyvay,lhe Cumberland R ad, through the States ot Quia, Indiana, and Illinois. Tnis highway is purely national in all its bearings it being emphatically the conneciing link between the Eastv. ern and Western States. It has been long in progress, has encountered many embarrassments, but is still slowly winding down the valley of the Mississippi in the line of its original direction. The present administration will, no doubt, foster and promote its advancement. Apart from any questions of constitutional power,- which cannot affect the opening of this road, it is the duty of Congress to continue appropriations for this purpose, The publicfaith is plighted with the States of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Missouri, that it yvill be done, There were vast onantities of lands w ithin the borders of these Siate?, winch remained unsold at the period of their admission into the Union. They ceded these lands to the General Government, upon the condition that it would open this great road. It was under this compact that the Cumberland Road was originated, it yasin ful fillment of its provisions that its progress has been continued down to the present moment. The money received from the sale of public lands in these. States, has ever been regarded as a fund reserved for this purpose. It was competent for the government to enter into this compact it was profitable and in submission to the soundest policy, for her to do eo. When ratified, it was among the highest of her obligations to X'Tuteit. Ji il icon upon this principle alnne, baneUoued Ihe Cumberland R ad Bill. Monroe followed his footsteps, but rejected a Bill providing for the erection of toll gates on it -as assuming a power not implied in the power to erect given by tho compact, and it being uilhovt the ascent of the State through which this tolled highway passed, and as lie believed an obvious encroachment upon hei sovereignty over tfle soi. The principles promulgated in the message are not of recent date. I understand them as having distinctly the sanction of the illustrious names, Jefieison and Monroe. II. A letter from a member of Congress to the editor of the Boston Courier, says 'The members from the South explicitly declare (since the passage of the act reducing the duties on Salt and Molas-es, and ullon ing a drawback on Rum) that they will never complain of the tariff on any other articles. They say the tariffon cotton goods does not injure them, and that on fine wollens is paid by rich men, and the great body of the people have nothing to complain of. They consider the North and South as now reconciled." The (blh-tving remark, attributed to John Randolph, ought to be engraven on the heart of every American Ptriot. kl lie very mention ot a disunion of these states, is a great public injury. It gees to unhinge the tone ot the pub lie mind. It makes men acquainted with the possibility of the thing that once admitted into their breasts, they will not ccntf mplate with that ab hcrrence in which it ought to be held by every true patriot. The following i- a sure remedy for! hot? in horses: Mix half n pound of ; - . . - . alhun in a -pint of boiling water until dissolved, and five it to Ihe horse, and then ive a pint of blubber cil. The life of many a valuable hcrse has been saved bv tnis remedy.
