{coi a AFFAIRS IN WASHINGTON. Soctety and Politics in Washington. No. & Wasnineton, D. C., Jan. 26, 1854. TO THE EDITOR OF THA NEW )OKK HERALD. I learned (accidently, of course, everything of this ) Sort is done by aecideat here,) that at a cabinet meeting shortly after the Hexatv which contained my last despatch reached here, Mr. Secretary Maroy proposed that the President should leave the roomy as the Cabinet had matters of vrivate importance to consult about. (I will here mention that my ine formant holds the bighest o J position in the land, although Iam not at Jiberly to give the name as he might be sericasly compromised) After an ab- gence of about an hour, word was sent to the Presi- dent that he might retor) if he jiked, The President wert back. Mr. Cushing rove when the President en- tered and said:~‘‘ Mr. President, ourcourse as a Cabinet may bave appeared unusual ; but Ihave con- sulted my library, aud find that it is not without ~m precedent, the sift of General Washington tel exemplary man to put out him there, and he ever com- Pp le west. I will, however, inform . t of My colleagues, who always select m@%s thé¥Spoke' wat, when there is nothing particular to 57 bout, what we have ‘been doing during your absence, with your permis- sion, Mr, President "—and Mr. Cushing bowed. “ Propel,”’ replied the President -and he bowed. “ You can tell the President everything,” chimed in Premier Marcy —and he bowed “Mr. President,” again commenced Mr. Cashing, « T have been telling the Cabinet, thaton my return from China | came through Mexico, (that was be- fore youand me found ourselves out there, luckily for both of us, Mr. P.,) and on my way lost docu- ments of such vost importance that were their con tents known it would make she people open their eyes.

You will write, and tell the Hexavp all about it, of course?” “Certainly, unquestionasly I shall. What are you to do for Col. Orr, of our 3ta’e, Frank?” “ Orr, of our State 7” “Ool Orr, one of the members of Congress from New Hampehire.” a “Orr? New Hampshire ? “Yes.

He told me he was as tonished; that he expected Colonel Orr would have Rot upand seid that he was present by accident; that he represented a portion of South Carolias, which gave birth to Jobn C. Calhoun, and that, as a true representative, he was obliged to say frankly | that, so faras South Carolina was concerned, she did not feel at ull grateful to the nother of Andrew Jackson for being in that neighborhood when the event took place, and disclaimed all interest whatever in the result; that,on the contrary, if at any time | friend, aleng about 1830 to 1836 she had caught A. J. in her border, she would have considered it a3 one of her reserved State sights to have hung the illustrious Pre- sidential babe on the vearest palmetto, for havio dared to threaten to bang ber own legitimate child, J. C.C., at about the saine period.” “Sid raid that, did he? Well, he is getting sensl- ble. But as C.losel Orr did lickspittle yon pretty freely, and old Jackson intu the bargaiu, I think you ought to take care of him. I think you must be mis- taken. He surely hails from New Hampshire. He from South Carolina, and go to a Jackson diuner to land Old Hickory! Oh no; that won't do.” “Tvs no such thiog. Ain’t I President, and oughtn’d I to know where members come from? He is frem South Csrolina.” “Very well, just as you say. What are you going to give him?” “ Give who?” “Col. Orr. You don’t mean to say that you in- tend to leave him in the lureh to shift for himeelf, after inveigling bim into your free soil meshes and political network ?”” “Why, what have I got to do with it? He is of age, ain’t he?” “That is true, Mr. President ; bat I don’t think he will go back to South Cerolina with any intention of political aivancement; end, if you mean to do the clean thing, you onght, when & man sazrifices hin- self for you, to do aomething for him. Why rot send him to Spain?” “Well, I don't know but I ought. If Soulé gets shot—and 1 hope to God he will be—by some of those Spavish chaps, I think I will send Orrthere. The old Jackson party of 1833 would endorse the appoint- ment to a msn, wouldn’t they 7” “Of oourse they would. Frank. You know you promised to do something for me, the other day.” “ And I'll do it, by Jeminetta, What is iv?’ “T want to get the Cabinet seerets in advance of the regular reports.” * Well, that aint much; but I don’t keow how I can manage itexactly. Marey, Cushing, and McLel- Jan generally give those out to particular friends of theirs to send off, within one hour after the Cabinet adjourns.”’ “‘T don’t want you to put yourself out of the way; only give me a fuir shake—let me know a3 soon as the other fellows do.” “To do that you must watch the doors You can be about the White House, aud as soon as the Cabi- bet aojourns come to me on the aly, and I will tell zu sli that has transpired. Keep shady abvut it, jowever. What do you want to do with it?” “Two things. One is to sell the information if it's worth anything, to some of the banking houses and stock speculators, so tout tbey can send it on to New York to use in Wall street, and the other is to tele- graph it to the Hekaip. “Speaking of the Hexatp, Green, I can’t, for the life of me, understand what the deuse Mr. Ben- nett is driving at. He is pitching into me now about some siupid letter I wrote a long while ago, and which, as | kept no copies, I had searly forgot all about. i think he shows much friendship to me in probing that matter.”’ “Friendship to you! Why, who are you?” “T don't exactly know myself, and you"seem to have forgot entirely. I believe lam President of the United States; and here the President stopped skort, and looked over the rail'ng at the ice floating down the river. “No, [ have not. silent 7° “Spit it out; what is it you have to say?” “Well, I must tell youafew plain truths. You acknowledge that you wr0te those letters, but don’t remember the contents 7”’ “T do not; they might haye been a little free soilish as well as friendly.” “ Frank, be honest aod straightf:rward; own u and I can help you out. Long before I nomin: you in tbe village meeting, and when you had no more idea of becoming President than you had of flying, you did write whose letters; and when the free soilers at Baltimore went in for you, John Van Buren, Jobn Cochrane, and all those fellows, knew bey bad you foul, and meant to ae when you were elected. You said to yourself, if they will keep mum I will; but when some of them went to Ccvcord, after your elec:ion, and told you that they bai you, why didn’t you kick ‘em to the devil, and say, ‘Go your worst 7” ‘Marcy nor Van Buren, nor none of them, threat- ened me when they came to Concord in December, 1852" “Never mind that. They let you know where they stcod, and where they wanted to stand, and told you to toe the mark. When yoa sent for RM. T. Hunter to come on from Washington, and he re- fured to serve with any free soiler in the Cabice’, why didn’t you make a clean breast of it to him, and make a reliable friend /” “What busipess was it of Hunter whether I chose gz eed Dix for the Treasury or Marcy for the tate 7” “He made it his business, and told you he woulda't train in any such crowd; but never micd that. It was then you felt the awkwardness of com position, and that yon could not make a move without the free soilers. Van Buren, Marcy, Cochrane, Ben Batler, Cambreleng, and the rest, had you, and they openly proclaimed it; but when the hodge-podge Csbioet was Wace up, they told you just who to appoint, and you did precisely as they ordered you to do.” “luthe name of God, Green, be reasonable—how could I do otherwise? Had I refused to make free soil apointiwents under the circumstances, I should have been the most disgraced man that ever lived.” “Disgraced with them, but not to the country. How meny vo:es would you have received in tue United States had your reat position with the free sollers been known befure November, 1852?” Well, 1 don’t suppose I should have got elected. Old Scott would have won. It was the union of the two sections of the democratic party that elevated me to the Presidency; and d—n it, I have tried my best to satisfy both faetions in the distribution of the offices and plunder. It can’t be helped now; aud what good can Mr. Bennett do by pitching into me ever: day?” * You are wrong. He don’t want to injure you, but, as a public journatist, he hae to look beyond ou. He knows as well as you do that there has een a great fraud upon the cvuntry, and that sooner or later i: will come out.” “ And suppose it does, what then? It can’t be helped now.” “It will be helped. Your administration will be smashed into fragments. In six months from this date you wil not pe able to carry on the business of tre country.” “ And how am I to get out of such a snarl, Sam?” “ Basy enough; send your Cabinet to aell flyiag. Get rid of your Marcys, your Cushings, your Guthries, Davises, aud such cattle, ard call about you the purest, most patriotic, and most influential men in tve two sections. Show that you iutend to stang by the country, and the country will stand by ou. mt A new Cabinet will have but very little moral weight or power. My removal of my present men will show that they are mere creatures of my will.” “ And that is what you wact more thaa anything else, just now; you want to show the country th yeu have got a will of yourown, They don’t believe it now; bat, I say, the fog has gone, and the wind sweeps down this bridge as though it just said good morning to an iceberg. Suppose we walk along to- wards tre town.” “T am pot cold. The President don’t need an overcoat; his blood is kept in such a fever the whole time that he can’t get chiily; but we may as well go to the city. The departure of the fog is a good omen, as Napoleon woulo have said {f he was here.” We walked alovg up, until we reached Pennsyl- venia avenue.

It will be remembered that the Defiance wasreized by Peru- vian officials at the Chincha Islands, and Capi Mc- Cerren was subjected to gross: at the hands of rsonages. He is still from the effects of the barbarous treatment which he expe- rienced. He claims of the Peruvian government damages to the amount of $35,000 for injuries. inflicted upon him, and ‘00 per day the thirty-five days during whi Peruvian authorities $16,000 personal dan ages, and per day time dorivg which bis ship was detained. These sums he retases to accept, and he is about to lay tne matter before the Secretary of State. There is no doubt that Mr. Marcy will sustain his rights, and secure for him ber 9 indemnity, while be makes pro vision for preventing the recurrence of such an out- mage upon the persons and property of American citizens. The Pres‘dent has not yet sent in the nominations of Daniel BE. Sickies, Secretary of Legation at Lon- don, aud Soom Saaders, Consul at London, for confirmation. It is generally considered that he would ‘ane that those gentlemen should be reject- ed, and that he wishes to ascertain the sentiment of the Senate before sending in their na nes.

The news of he election of Judge Iverson tv the United States Sevate has been received with general satisfaction in Washington.

The vote by districts would traps'er the power from the scene-shifter and curtain lifters to the real actors in the play.

The Great Tornado in Obto, [From the Cieveland Pisin Dealer Jao *5) THE TOWN OF BRANPON IN RUINS—GREAT DESTRUO- TION OF PROPRATY. The hurricane broke out not tar from 3 P.M. on Friday, the 20th. The tornado first manifested itself in the western part of Miller townshiv, about eight miles west «f south from Mount Vernon. The tornado passed over a field cr two, tearing up fences, Singing the rails like straws for bundreds of yards, and ” against a double log cabin occe- ost Hu Bs Be 3 i | aa A ae : i Wi) jardly krows how he escaped, wit assistance of neighbors. Mrs. T.’s arm was found bed broken, and the children were sligh dy acratched The storm next struck the house of Wainwright jaxter, which it unroofed. An eyewitness says the roof went straight up in the sir, wuitting about and ibout, till he lost sight of it. No fragments of it can now be found. The adjacent house of Chester Colman was next attacked. It was razed to the ground. Mr. Colman, Sr., was outside the house at the time. He “pl po recence a enough to eatch hold of a clap- rr 5FE by fingers under it. The storm lifted bim up and , and made him dance about, nolens volens. But he still clung to the clapboard. till he was torn from his hold, and nearly flung into the well rear by. Dr. Wheaton’s house was the next in course, It was a one and-a-balf building, in cottage style. It was levelled with the dast, A large bara owned by Dr. Wheaton shared the same fate. Dr. Wheaton bearing the approach of the storm, rushed out of the house and led two of his horses, wnoich were in the 'd, into the barn. He had hardly tut them in eir stalls when he felt the sills of the moving, and was at the same time knocked over the head by @ falling board. He came to his senses after the storm bad blown over, and with difficulty crawled from the ruins of the stracture. One arm ves to be broken; otherwise he was unhurt. His horses, strange to, say, were wholly uninjured. The house was not only blown to pieces, but almost entirely blown away. Boards which are known to have be- longed to it were picked up, the next morning, four milee from the scene. We should add that the storm entered Brandon, when it struck Chester Colman’s house, a3 above stated. The next victim to the tempest was the old brick Union Church; it was stretched along the ground. The school-house near by was next attacked. Thirty-nine children were in. it at the time, but by some etrange good luck only one was seriously in- jured. A boy eight years old, a son of Wm. Patter- son, was struck on the forehead, and somewhat burt on bis chest and sides. He will probably re- cover. Several other children were slahsy Seamed and scratched. The injuries were caused by timbers falling from the roof. The entire huilding was not blown down. ‘The new Presbyterian church, in the same village of Brandon, was unroofed, aud part’ of the edifice blown in. egar or three old log cabins near by fell before the e blast. ae and blacksmith’s shop were next pros- trate: A large brick house and barn, at the north end of Brandon, were blown down. The remaios of the house look Jike a rained brick yard. The tempest here entered a piece of woods, a half a mile long, and cut a swath a ter of 8 mile wide from one erd to the other. It looks as though , some giant bad gone through the forest with a sickle. Almoetevery tree is blown down flat upon the ground. The few which remain yey strip- ped of their boughs and branches, and their trunks are twisted till they look like whip-cords. y Emerging from the woods, the tem) next struck ® log-house belonging to James H. Fletcher and tenanted by a widow woman, Mrs. Young. It was blown down. Jacob BSlater’s log-house, and barn adjacent, were also flattened. Mr. Slater was standing in the door of the barn at the time.

The two-story brick house of John Schnelby was then blown down. It was unoccupied. ‘The storm passed through a piece of oak woods, about ove-fcurth of a mile wide, with the usual result. Two bouses, built of hewn logs, were destroyed on the Newark road. A mile of cak woods was next cut h, the tzack still being about a quarter of a mile The barn of Mr. Gorsuch was blown down. The aap house of a Mr. Smith much in- jored. Mrs.Smith hesring the roar of the a »proach- ing tornado, opened the door, when she was struck in the left arm by a flying piece of beard. Her arm was broken in twe places below tue elbow, and somewhat injured above. Mr. Smith's stable was blown down. The tornado then swept terribly on beyond the Martin-burg road, unroofed the of Daniel Bosteticr, and toyed as usual with trees and fences. We cmitted to mention that the two-story brick house and bern egg, to Mr. Squires, ia Brandon, were blown down. jas: had time torun into the cellar, and escaped injury. Such was the force of the blast that a cooking: stove ia Mr. me pet house was carried several rods. A large peach tree was twisted up from the roots, whirled high in the air, and borne three hundred yards, when it fell to the ground, and was left standing as straight as ever. No language can do justice to the fearful magni- ficence ot the torzado asi stalked wrathfally over the lacd. Those who saw it were too terrified to ob- serve it closely. The frightened spectators can only say it was “awful,” “horrible,” ani looked as though the day ef judgment had come—little more. It seems to have worn the appearance of a mighty black pillar, reaching from earth to heaven, irra diated by blicding flashes of lightning, and accom- panied in its devastating march by the music of a hinéred capnon! ‘The time occupied by the passage of the tornado over aby ove spot is variously represented at from two to five minutes, The town of Brandon, which hag ined the severest lose by the tornado, is sita: about six # iles from Mt.
