Tremendous Stores.

Oo Saturday evening lsst, about 7 oVJock •our city was visited by oue of the severe*! storms, we have ever witnessed. About half past mx, t'.ie sky assumed a threatening as pect, i^ere being much thunder, accompanied with vivid .1a%bes of lightning. The severe gale, however, came so suddenly upon **, as to surprise the most observant. It commenced by a heavy fall of hail and rain, accompanied by iighthtng and thunder. No storm has ever visited the place which done so much serious damage to bouses, fences trees, signs, &c. The most serious damage done by the storm was the almost en' tire demolition of the Congregationaiist (Mr "•Jewell's) Church, which was made a perfect week, caused from the failing of the new steeple, erected summer before last, which in it's fail broke through the roof, entering the principal church room below. Fortunately no lives were lost by this sad catastrophe. At the time of the disaster, however, the sexton was ringing the bell for divine service. Owing to his position he escaped uninjured. Had the storm came a few moments later, it might have been truly an awful! visitation,* It is thought that the church i« so much injured as to besbeyond repair, the walls having been so much damaged by the crash, at to render it necewary to take them down. Several other material injuries were caused'by the storm. A portion of the sheet iron roofing on Pbamix Row, was torn partially off and slightly injured. Some of the roofing also on Mr. Thompsons new brick mill, near the Poundery was torn off, but •ot seriously damaging the building. One of the shops at the Depot, was somewhat in* juped by a portion of the roof being torn away by the violence of the storm. A number of chimneys were also blown over, and a large quantity of window glass broken by the hail. The Floating Palace, of Messrs Spalding and Rogers, was then lying at our wharf, but sustained no injury whatever by (He- raging of the elements. In foot many who had entered, before the storm began to rage, were unaware of its violonoe.

The domagrdone our city, by the storm may be safely estimated at, at le*st ten thousand dollars. t,*7T

DEDICATION or THK ODD KKLLOWS HAU.. —Thia interesting ceremony took place on Monday Evening last, iu the proaence of a largo and brilliant audience of Ladies Gentlemen and members of the order. The ceremonies was most brilliant and impressive, and were witnessed with the utmost attention by ike large auditory present. The address upon tho occasion by Rev. W. C. BROOKS was a beautiful and appropriate effort. The officers who assisted iti the services, all performed (heir respective duties with much credit.

Tho Terre llaute Lodge is one of the Most flourishing in tho State, and their new and beautiful Hall will add much to the prosperity of the order in^hi^ city,

CONGREGATIONA LIST UmjRrn.-—The pew holders in thi« church, held a meeting on ^Wednesday Evening last in the basement atory of the old buildings for the purpose of taking into consideration, ih« propriety of building Churoh Kdifioe or repairing the old one. A hwjority of the pew holders were in attendan«ei and ther# was but one •opinion among them, and that favorable to the first project. A committee was thereupon appointed to solicit the nt«te*»ary subscription, so that the^ work immediately commenced.

It is to be hoped that in building a aew Church, one will be erected which will be an ornament to our city, as this oongrega* who have been thus deprived of their

tton house of worship, is probably the largest and wealthiest in the place. The rapidly increasing population of Terre Haute demands a targe and commodious structure. The new edifice will be erected we suppose, upoa the aite of the old building. We hope on* citiaen* will not fail to txteud their usual liberality towards actxwnpJj^Wng tlals design. .v V*,

at the

House, for she purpose of ra«

king into consideration, propriety sesstug a tax, to carry into eflect, and towtain the Free Graded Schwl System about to go into operation in Terra Haute. A resolution was presented to the meeting by James Hook, Bsq to levy a tax of 30 cents upoa the one hundred dollar*, of all property* suhject to taxation Tot State and county purposes, within the corporate limit* of the cily, aud a poll tax of SO oeuts, whttsh »«aolution was adopted with but dit»saini| voices.

if it could be purchased for a reasonable sum. & „.U. Speeches were delivered during the n»e«ting by Judge Kinney the Preaident, At lion. R. w! 1*hotnpsob. Much unatnmwy of fee* lmg upon the subject appeared to prevail.

Hon. Janes Buchanan. The appointment of this distinguished Pennsylvania Statesman, a* minister to the Court of Si. lames, meets with universal commendation from the rank* of all parties. He is certainly the peer of any living American statesman, and many were disappointed that be did not receive the appoififlnent of Secretary of State, io the Cabinet of Mr. PIESCE^ iThe sphere of action, however, to which hs has been assigned by the President, is one of the utmost importance to the whole country. Between the United States and great Britain, there ftr« two great point* at issue, viz: the Fishery question, and the Clayton and Bulwer Treaty. The first of these, is a matter of contention, which has long existed between the two' Governments, growing out of the old treaty of: Ghent. The misunderstanding in regard to the second, is one of more recent date, and is fresh in the minds of every one.— Both of these questions have been repeatedly presented to the public, and in a variety of phases, and it would be folly for us to resume the subject further than to remark, that Mr. DPCHARAW is not likely to be overreached, by any diplomatist at any Court of Europe. He possesses the diplomatic knowl edge of a Talleyrand, with none of his de formities.

Hon. David R. Alchinson, the present presiding officer of the United States Senate, will by virtue of his office, succeed Hon. W. It. King, deceased, as Vice President.*"**1

Of all the Ex-Presi-dents but four are living, Van Buren, Fillmore and Tyler and of the Ex-Vice Presidents but tfc/ee are living, Van Buren, Tyler Dallas, and Fillmore. Of the veterans of the Senate, but one, iXon. J. M. Clayton, is left in the body to tell of the days of its peepless renown.

For Everybody.

Never fail to read the advertising department of the Journal, if you would learn what it concerns every one to know—where to lajr out your money to the best ad van* tage. Competition, in our flourishing little city, is at its very achme, and those who have anything worth buying, or good bargains to offer, always advertise. They know it is the sure way to do a brisk business, and by selling quickly they are sure to sell oheaply. ^Therefore if you would save yourself much trouble, vexation and loss of time, read the advertisements, especially the new ones. Keep the run of them, and you will hive no difficulty.— Let the readers of the Journal, bear this in mind. Our advertising columns present a goodly array, frofn every art, trade and employment, almost, in the city, it in a fixed and positive faot that no better men to do business with, can be found than the advertisers in this paper, and it is no less true, that no better advertising medium can be found upon the Wabash, than tho Terre Haute Journal.

\Ve are pleased to learn the appointment of* our friend STEPHEN G. DODGE, Esq., formerly of this place, to. a clerkship in the Pension Buereau, at a comfortable salary of eighteen hundred dollars per annum. Mr. Dodge has a number of warm and devoted friends in this city who will rrjoioe at his Suoceis. His qualifications for suoh a position are ofHhe highest^haracier.

We learn, that RICHARD SCOUTBN, ttSQ.j of this place, reoeived a dispatch, last evening, from Washington, informing him of the faot that he had been appointed Boute Agent, on the Railroad, from this place to Madison. We think that we do not detract from the merits of other applicants when we aav that this is a good appointment, and will give general aatisfaction. That MR ScotrtKN will make an efficient and faithful oflfaar we do not doubt.

We do not deny, but, upon the* other hand, take pleaaure, in chronicling the fact, that our sister cities and towns in Indiana, are rapidly progressing in art, trade and importance. At the same time, ifte feel a conscious pride io asserting, that no Indiana town can boast with more justice of it's rapid growth in. wealth and importance than our own Prairie City, and none presents greatexassu ranees of future prosperity, than arfno be found among us. Our present population numbers some 6,C00 souls, (with a steady increase at the rate of 20 per cent per anum,) composed of men and women who are emphatically the "no plus ultra," of republican citizens—tho pioneers or the immediate descendants of the pioneers, wht» have can ed for themselves an independence in this beautiful valley of the Wabash, and have made our town whatahe now is. In addition to this, we are donstantly addiog to the natural increase of our population, by the emigration among us, of the hardiest and most enterprising citizens of the Eastern States. With our enterprising population, besuty of physical situation, and many natural advantages, and with such a territory as that by which we are surrounded, to what may not the Prairie City aspire?

The Boston Courier says: "No fact is clearer to the understanding of all men of common sense, who have taken the pains to bestow the least attention upon the proceedings of these rappers, that they are composed of two classes of people, namely—impostors who cheat, and dupes who are cheated. This is a short hand history of the whole concern."

Horace Greely who is a firm believer in the spiritual rippers, and every other ism. thus chides the Courier for its unbelief

The Boston Courier used to have an organ of belief for some things, but somehow it is greatly changed. It has become wholly insenible to every new impre&aion. It don't believe in anything that antiquity has not set its seal upon. It has no manner of notion of

has not long since been introduced into good society. If all were like it we might "put out the light, and then put out the light." The world would have nothing to do but to pull off its shoes and stockings, and pull on its night cap and go to bed. There would be no more work for all its poor old Neds or young Neds either. We are sorry to see this relapse into utter fogy ism—which is one ism at least that we heartly destest.

the pension reverts to his children and there stops. The following are the facts of a recent decision made as here alluded to. **The law in question provides that in case of the death of the widow of a soldier, then the pension shall revert io the deceased soldier's children. There the law stops but Secretary Thomas Ewing decided that, although the act of Congress goes no further than to the children, the common law steps in and carries the pension to any other heirs. This decision has governed the matter since.

Governor McClelland, the present Secretary of the Interior, has, however, decided that this construction of the law is wrong.— If the pension law had passed previous to the enlistment and service of the soldier, then it would have formed a part of his emolument for service, and as such would come under the provision of the common law, like any other property, to the exieot even of being liable for bis debts.. was a law passed after the services had expired and formed no part of the contract for service. The pension is simply a gratuity given by Congress after the government had fulfilled ail its agreement: and duty towards the soldiers, and as such can only be used to the extent the terms of the act authorized, and no further. This cuts off a large nam, her of claimants, but the decision is manifestly in accordance with law. i}

Araii. FOOL.—A good STORY is (old of a country man who accidently draped bis pocket eook io the street on the 1st inst, ooniaining the snug sum of 9500. Passing along, he soon had occasion to use it, when be discovered that it was lost. Turning didirectiy around and retracing bis steps, he was surprised to see it lying oo the sidewalk, guar dec by a dozen loafers, who, be said, be would not trust with three cents, each intent on enjoying a joke, as they supposed, epon the man who picked it op. Several had passed and kicked it, supposing it to be a trick.

There is a naivete in it that is really pleasing, even to a Yankee Doodle. Listen, then: "The intelligence which it is our pleasing duty to publish this day, will be reoeived with satisfaction by the nation which has been so long happy and prosperous under the rule of Queen Victoria. At ten minutes after 1 o'clock yesterday, the Queen was delivered of a Prince in the presence of the usual of ficers of State.- Her Majesty and the infant Prince are both doing well. It has pleased Providence to bless Queen Victoria with so numerous an issue that the event can scarcely bo received as one of great political im. porta nee. The succevsion to the Throne was already secure in the direct line of the present Sovereign, unless, indeed, more than ordinary calamity should fall on the Royal House. But we may be permitted to hope that this fresh addition to the family of a lady as distinguished for her domestic virtues, as exalted in her station, may bring with it comfort and happiness. It is a grand thing for a Monarch of this country that amidst shaking crowns and failing loyalty, she alone sits securely enthroned in the hearts of her people. The event which brings fresh* happiness to her heart will be fell as a private joy by every fireside where English is spoken, in every quarter of the habitual globe."
