ee AFFAIRS IN WASHINGTON. Soctety and Politics in Washington. No. 4, Wasuineron, D, C., Jan. 26, 1854. TO THE BDICOR OF THB NKW )OKK HERALD. T learned (accidently, of course, everything of this ) sort isdone by aecideot here,) that st a cabinet meeting shortly after the Hexatp which contained my last despatch reached here, Mr. Secretary Marey proposed that the President she ve the room as the Cabinet had matters of vrivute importance to consult about.

Mr. Cushing rove when the President en- tered and said:~‘‘ Mr. President, our course as a Cabinet may have appeared unusual ; but Ihave con- sulted my library, aud find that it is not without recedent, the Oubivet of General Washington tel exemplary man to put out him there, and he ever com- Tegue-t.

What is it all about? However, that is no matter, if it’s important to be done. Let it be dove, I say. Who is to go?” “Itisagevtiemac of the name of Samuel Green, Jr., of New Hemoysiire, sir,” replied Caleb Cushing. “Why, bless ine,” asked he President, “has Sam asked for the bertn? Has he veeu bought up so soon?” “Bought up, Mr. Prestueut? asked Marcy, “do we buy up people? Free covers, sir, den’t bay peo- ple.

It was then you felt the awkwardness of fone 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 Cabioet was wace up, they told you just who to appoint, and you did precisely as they ordered you to do.” “Inthe name of God, Green, be reasonabie—how could I do otherwise? Had I refused to make free soil aypointments under the circumstances, I should have been the most disgraced man that ever lived.” “Disgraced with them, but not to the country.

There is no doubt that Mr. Marcy will sustain his rights, and secure for him ample indeamity, while he makes pro vision for preventing the recurrence of such an out- rage upon the persons and property of American citizens. The Pres'dent has not yet sent in the nominations of Daniel E. Sickies, Secretary of Legation at Lon- don, aud come Saaders, Consul at London, for confirmation. It is generally considered that he would pe that those gentlemen should be reject- ed, and that he wishes to ascertain the sentiment of the Senate before sending in their na nes. [Corresporderce of tre Baltimore Sus. Wasuiraron, Jan. 26, 1854. The report that the Senate have ratified the inter- national copyright bill is premature. The Senate has not had ‘the treaty under consideration as yet- The Mexican treaty will be sent in next week. The Hon. Albert G. Brown, Senator elect from Mississippi, has arrived in the city, and was to-day pienext in the United States Senate. The news of he election of Judge Iverson to the United States Senate has been received with general satisfaction in Washington. The renomination of Mr. Pearce, of Maryland, for United States Senator secures to your State an able, efficient, and faithful Senatorial representative, and an excellent compromise man, withal. He will, of couree, vote for the Nebraska bill. From Berks county, Pa., the Hon. Clancey Jones will probably be elected to fill the place of the late Hen. Henry A. Mublenberg. George Sanders’ nomioation as Consul to London, after al, said and Gone, has been sent to the Senate day before yesterday; so it appears that the consul has made his peace with the administration, after ali.

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

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, Sieg rails like straws for hundreds of ‘ed . s 2 ume and wo chlden, who “ near a huge fireplace, were literally swe . but fortanatel ue buring. came rattlin; lous. Just as they were swept mense log was blown out from above the door,which lodged one end against the mantelpiece, above the hear'b, and the rested upon the middle of the floor, A}l the logs in the house were blown in atthe very next moment, accumulating around and Toe Mrs. T. and children were completely d were afterwards taken out b' , who hardly krows how he eacaped, wit sistance of neighbors., Mrs. T.’s arm was found broken, and the children were sligh dy acratched The storm next struck the house of Wainwright ter, which it unroofed. An — says the Hoe F 4 roof went straight pp inte air, wi 1g about and about, 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 had just Faas of mind enough to eatch hold of a clap- , by inser his fingers under it. The storm lifted bim up and , and mede 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 near by. Dr. Wheaton’s house was the next in course, It ‘was a one and-a-balf woah building, in cottage style. It was levelled with the dust. A large bara owned by Dr. Wheaton shared the samefate. Dr. Wheaton bearing the approach of the storm, rushed out of the house and led two of his horses, which were in the yard, into the barn. He had hardly put them in their stalls when he felt the sills of the barn moving, and was at the same time knocked over the head by @ falling board. He came to his seuses after the storm bad blown over, and with difficulty crawled from the ruins of the structure. One arm proves 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, ane it strack Chester Colman’s house, a3 above ed. The next victim to the tempest was the old brick Union Oburch; 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- jared. A boy eight years old, son of Wm. Patter- son, was struck on the forehead, and somewhat burt on bia chest and sides. He will probably Te- cover. Several other children were slightly thamped 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 - Brandon, was unroofed, aud part’ of the edifice lown in. epsr cn three old log cabins near by fell before the e blast. Pi red and blacksmith’s shop were next pros- fed. A large brick house and barn, at the north end of Brandon, were blown down. The remaias 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 quarter of a mile wide from one erd to the other. It looks as though some giant bad gone through the forest with a sickle. Almostevery tree is blown down flat upon the ground. The few which remain are ped of their Lops Je and branches, and their are twisted till © i like whip-cords. ‘ 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 Slater’s log-house, and barn adjacent, were also flattemed. Mr. Slater was standing ia the door of the barn at the time. He heard his wife cry out, ard saw the roof of the house flying off, aud the walls falling io. Just then, the barn ccme over his head. Both husband and wife were only tehtly hurt A cow standing in the yard was lift- ed high in the air, and blown several rode. She fell with great violence, and p} im consequence of her jur'es. hs Slater, and another woman in the same house, escaped by crawling under a bed. Toe timbers fel: upon the bed, co g it up for several feet. ‘The storm here en @ piece of woods a half mile wide. The result and attending phenomena were similar to those already described. ‘The barn of Harrison Smootz, next in vel rs was unroofed, and Mr. Barker's house was o: My Blo ie ee here crowed the Newark Railroad track, Lt covering it with rails, posts and trees. The text trata passing was delayed some tieby the obstructions. The two-story brick house of John Schnelby was then blown down. It was unoccupied. The storm passed through a 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 th, the track still being about a querter of a mile je. The barn of Mr. Gorsuch was blown down. The adjacent house of a Mr. Smith was much in- jured. 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 the elbow, and somewhat injured above. Mr. Smith's stable was blown down. The tornado then swept terribly on beyond the Martin-eburg 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 Loge to Mr. Squires, ia Brandon, were blown down. yr had time torun into the cellar, and escaped injury. Such was the force of the blast that a couking-stove ia Mr. ca 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 wrathfully over the land. Those who saw it were too terrified to ob- serve it closely. The frightened spectstora can only say it was “awfui,” “horrible,” ani looked as though the day ef judgment had come—little more. Tt seems to have worn the appearance of a ity black pillar, reaching from earth to heaven, irra- diated by blicvding flashes of lightning, and accom- panied in its devastating march by the music ofa hinored cappon ! ‘The time occupied by the passage of the tornado over apy ove spot is variously represented at from two to five minutes. The town of Brandon, which has sustained the severest lors by the tornado, is situ about «ix a iles from Mt. Vernon, and is commonly known by the nan ¢ of “ Four Corners.” The village contained from thirty 10 torty houses. The cnly storm ever occurring in Ohio which at a’l resembies the “ Brandon tornado, ” is that known as the “ Burlington storm,” which visited the earth in the fall of 1828. It is cnrious that this storm ori- insted at a place cailed Bariington, near where incon now stands. It swept over an immense territory, acing much jiary damage, and des troying several lives. It was not so severe, however, as its sav" ge succestor, . The Pow Shi TO THE RDITOR OF THE HERALD.
