Havoc Caused in Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Other States--Imperfect Estimates of the Damage to Crops and Other Prop­ erty. The daily papers are filled mth re­ ports of damage by the recent floods in the West and South, which for violence and widespread degtrncliveness are with­ out parallel. The following summary will give a fair idea of the magnitude of the disaster : ILLINOIS. ,J The Chicago Tribune estimates the damage from the recent iraiiis in Cook county at $100,000. Throughout Cen­ tral and South em Illinois all the streams were swollen as they never were before, and the damage to the crops is incalcu­ lable. In many sections the grain has sprouted in the shock, and even that which had been stacked is so badly damaged that it will hardly pay to thrash it. In Morgan county alone the dam­ age tp crops is estimated at a quarter of a million dollars. IJJDLVJiA. The Hoosier State has suffered from the floods to as great an extent, proba­ bly, as any of her sisters. In the Wa­ bash valley the disaster reaches the di­ mensions of a calamity. The bottoms, for an average of a mile and a half wide, were submerged, and crops, both har­ vested and growing, were swept away, and great Buffering must result to ten­ ants, whose all is swept away. The Wabash and Erie canal, between La­ fayette and Fort Wayne, was almost completely destroyed, being broken in more than a hundred places. UISSOUBI. A. dispatch from Washington, Mo., says : "The .Missouri river is higher than has been known since 1844,. Tlioiv sands upon thousands of acres of corn between here and St. Lotus are under water. It is impossible to estimate the damage, but it .will reach hundreds of thousands oi dollars." IOWA. " A dispatch from Wapello, say*: " The wheat is all cut, but is flgM, and of inferior quality, and is now sprouting in the shock. Not one acre in ten of the oats can be harvested in a proper man­ ner ; the crop will be almost a total loss.

For ^ " has fallen steams of The City of Geneva, Switzerland, Ss#a«-' fated by a Tornado. A correspondent at Geneva gives an account in one of the papers, this aqgrn ing, of a terrible storm which broke ever the city at midnight, Wednesday, the 7th of July. About 8 o'clock a few heavy drops of rain began to fall, and at the same time the whole temperature of the horizon began to be fitfully illuminated by flashes of sheet-lightning, but there was no thunder. Once only, during the entire night, was there one terrific clap of thunder, and that was when the storm was just over. The lightning gradually Increased in intensity, and became, in­ deed, actually, and without exaggera­ tion, continuous. The entire atmos­ phere seemed to be an element of flames, and all this time there was not the slightest movement of air in the streets. At about 11 o'clock, small objects lying on the roofs of houses were caught up aad whirled around as by a cyclone. Still there was no movement of ( the air in the streets below. At midnight the tempest uame, mainly from the Jura range, and from the southwest, travel­ ing in that direction toward the basin of Lake Leman ; as it neared the lake, it seemed to spread out into a fan-like f#m, with a front sufficiently wide to embrace the entire city. It did not last much longer than ten minutes, but at the end of it Geneva was wrecked as n army of besiegers could have wrecked it in the same space of time. The storm came in the shape of an almost compact mass, a sheet of ioe driven horizontally before the tempest blast. In the first instant every gas lamp in the streets, save here and there one spared by rea­ son of some protecting roof, was smitthed to atoms anil extinguished, but fHMity was not in darkness, for the mfwSes of coagulated liail reflected the blue light of the lightning in a ghastly and omi- ous manner. The windows of manufac­ tories and residences were forced from their fastenings, besides having all their glass shivered, and bedrooms and stair­ cases and saloons were thrown open to the storm, and in a minute or two they were half filled with masses of ice, far beyond the immediate power of the in­ habitants to remove, for the storm was marked by this peculiarity, that hail­ stones, or ice-fragments pa,rted themselves into a soon as they fell. In the left bank of the river urbs of the city, houses were absolutely der. Stout partitions were pierced by holes, have been made Three persons were a farm-house, in the of the city. Vast qt birds have been picked up,' storm, and the bocli have been found. Geneva is by pleasure-gardens, and vine- and market-gardens, and these have been destroyed, as if a charge of cavalry had passed over them, involving the ruin and despair of the poor and indus­ trious peasants, whose all is now taken from them as effectually as if it had been sunk to the bottom of tne sea. weekly Esito* Ot the CUtsgi VHMVCUI» Tfc* money market lit* been steady with a feir for f«vom udyboil qaaatatiM of loanable Batw 6(g7 per oeol for short time.

Death of Andrew Johnson. Es-President Andrew Johnson died at the residence of his sister, Mrs. W. B. Brown, Carter county, Tenn., on the morning of Saturday, July 31. He left his home in Greenville, Green oounty, on Tuesday, the 27th, in his usual health, hale, alert and vigorous, to spend a few days with his daughter. On the evening of the following day he was suddenly stricken down with paraiy- mainly affecting his left sidef and rendering him unconscious, in which condition he remained for many hours. On Friday he rallied, feeling was par­ tially restored to his left side, he con­ versed intelligently, and his friends had every reason to hope for his early re­ covery. On Saturday morning, how­ ever, Mr. Johnson received a second attack, which he survived bat a short time. A di*patch» {com Greenville, Tenn., to a KashvOle paper gives the following particulars of Mr. Johnson's illness and death: 8' He had been complaining some­ what of ill health during the last month, but felt no apprehensions. Last Wednes­ day he took the morning train to visit his daughter, with whom Mrs. Johnson had been sojourning for the past six weeks. 9e rode in a hack from Garter's depot to her residence, some six miles distent, and seemed in good spirits on arrival, and ate a hearty dinner, and after a few minutes of general conversa­ tion retired up stairs, and was talking alone with his granddaughter. Miss Lillia .Stover. While thus engaged, Ms tongue refused to utter a tone, and to her great consternation he fell from his seat to the floor. Help was instantly sum­ moned, and almost as soon as raised he expressed indistinctly that his right side was paralyzed. After being taken to the bedg when the family spoke of send­ ing for a physician, he forbade it, saying that he would soon recover. In this way the summoning of medical aid was de­ ferred for twenty-four hours. When Mr, Jobe was called from Misa.Lofclito.Fn, some two miles distant, he instantly be­ gan a heroic treatment, aided by Dr. Cameron, and seemed lit one time the next day to be succeeding. The patient conversed imperfectly in regard to domestic matters, and did not seem con­ scious of approaching dissolution, but his case was beyond the skill of a physician, and at 7 o'clock last night he became unconscious. Mrs. Patterson and Andrew Johnson, Jr., arrived an hour later with two physicians from Greenville, Drs. Brey and Taylor, but he did not recognize either of them, and after seven hours and a half of uncon­ sciousness peacefully breathed his last, surrounded by his wife, children, and all his grandchildren, except the son and daughter of ex-Senator Patterson." < Mr. Johnson, a short time previous to hi$ death, expressed a desire that his winding-sheet be the flag of his country. Andrew Johnson was eminently a self- made man. It was MB reasonable boast that from a youth of extreme poverty, which denied all advan&ges of education, he had steadily climbed the ladder of public preference, round by round, un­ til he reached its highest possible point. He commenced his career at the age of ten a tailor. Death finds him at the age of sixty-seven, a Senator of the United States, who had been its President He was born in Raleigh, North Carolina, December 28, 1808. His father's social standing and monetary worth may be imagined when it is stated that he was the city sexton, and porter of the State bank. In 1826 young Johnson moved to Tennessee, there to pursue his trade as journeyman tailor. He settled at Greenville, which, during all the years of his busy and eventful life, continued to be his home. There shortly after his arrival, he married, and it was under his wife's instructions that he learned to write and cipher. His first appearance in politics was as the organizer of a workingmen's party in opposition to thej rich element which ruled the town. H was chosen an Alderman, and theneefor ward, until the day of his death, was ir public life. He was successively elected | Mayor, member of the lower house oi the State Legislature, a Van Buren Elector in 1840, State Senator, member I of Congress in 1843, holding his seat j through five terms. He was twice electee i fiovomac of . tip State,, jmd passe. $30,000. The numbers and strength ^ ? the party afforded protection to a timjnl . ' „ of disaffected Mormons, who took feta' * occasion to flee from the horrors oi SaWi?§rl I*ske valley. Sept, 10, while camped in - ^ Mountain. Meadow, about 320 miles wea^^l of Salt Lake City, the emigrants werei • j attacked by a band of white people ' painted and dressed like Indians. rlW ^ emigrants defended themselves withf- " V spirit after the first dash, in which they ^ lost ten or twelve men, was made their assailants. Behind their barricade of wagons they kept up such a vigorousf ' 'J fusilade that after a siege of five days •" % the enemy withdrew. The camp was \ nextvisited by a wagon bearing a white flag and containing Jacob Haight, then 1 one Of the Presidents of the Mormon 1 ChuijBĵ and John D. Lee, a MormonK Bishop, iaid also adopted son of Brighanl ̂ feting. \ These men professed to be on good terms with the " Indians," and offered to, act as mediators in the interests of peace%jjL v m It was propsed that the emigrants shoul^f#!|| march out from camp, leaving everything, behind, including their guns. The Mor*. • ' mon emissaries agreed to furnish agnaxtjf ^ thence to the settlements. These con0^i§ J flifions were accepted. The little pro* , , c e s s i o n b e g a n t o m o v e , w h e n i t w a s f i r e d v upon by the guard, the so-called "In- dians joining. The men were firs$ killed; the women and children ran on a few hundred yftrds and then fell. The * plunder was taken to Salt .Lake City and j the adjoining settlements, and divided, 1 Mr. J. Jb'orney, Superintendent of in- 3 dian Affairs for Utah, testified thai the cuuicli digjutanos alone received prop» ' 4 perty estimated to be worth $30,000, >lj The skeletons of 120 persons were nub* • ^ ssqnently collected on that Mai field an^: buried in one mound. A pile of rocki | marks the spot, and on a huge crcss^ erected as a monument, was plaoed the *~i inscription, " Vengeance is mine, saitljr--if the Lord." -- '•II The Mormons were in a high ^state of I excitement at that time, as one W their f! Bishops, Pratt by nam*, had just been / killed in Arkansas for attempting to tret / a woman away from her husband." They believed that the earth and all its fuifoess was the Lord's, and that they were the Lord's saints and chosen people. Ac­ cordingly they had authorized a band of robbers, called Danites, to make the scheme look religious. On this same ground of communism the Bedouin Arabs follow robbery as a religious profession. These facts, and numerous other details of events connected with the Mountain Meadow Massacre, fix the responsibility of that crime npo>, the Mormon leaders. Indians living south of Salt Lake related all the particulars of the offei^u eating President Haight and Bis Higbee and Lee. Some, also, of „ Mormons engaged in the massacre sal sequently confessed their guilt. Cummingg, then Governor of the Ter­ ritory, was a weak, vain man, and failed to give the United States court any sup­ port in the attempt to ferret out and punish the murderers. Judge Cradle- baugh, then one of the associate justices for that circuit, opened court and en­ deavored to bring to justice the guilty men, who were notoriously conspicuous in Salt Lake City. The grand jury re­ fused to indict their owa brethren; and when the indomitable judge, «b'«miao^p the jury, issued bench warrants for th arrest of the accused persons, they fleu, to the mountains until the trouble ** blown over." A Brave Womali. A pluclg lady named Miss Mollie Gil­ bert, in Keokuk, Iowa, discovered a burglar in her room about 2 o'clock in, the morning. His entrance awakened the young lady, who called out, suppos-j ing it was another lady boarder at the1 house who was in the room, but upon re­ ceiving no answer, and obsevingthe win in a crouching position on the floor, she, instead of screaming or covering her head up with the bed-clothes, as the average woman would have done, sprang to the door, which was open, and thus cut off the burglar's retreat The villain becom­ ing alarmed, sprang at, and caught Miss Gilbert bv the throat and commenced choking her. The lady showed heri bravery and grit, by hanging on to the man until in the struggle which ensued they approached the top of the stairs down which both woman and burglar fe" a chair which was standing near, an< and which Miss Gilbert had clutched i as she fell, going down with them. Th« landed at the foot of the stairs, the bo lar first, then Miss Gilbert, and then . chair, the latter being broken by the fa After the tumble, the rascal succeeded slipping from Miss Gilbert's grasp, j got away through a back window. In struggle the scoundrel used a knife, "which he inflicted a wound u'">on Gilbert, but it was fortunately v« slight. Reconciliation. Brooklyn people who know all parties, are eonMent that Tilton will jdeavor to brii^f about a reconciliatiC with his wife, and will be successful ij doing so. He undoubtedly wants her I come home, and she has time and agai stated in print that Ms influence overh« was irresistible when she was fairly brought Titular it. It is generally sui posed that the Plymouth Church peopl will make Mrs. Tilton financially COUQ fortable during the remainder of her lif« assuming that she remains separate fror her husband. Of course, if she retui to him, it will be against the wishes the itoeefcerites.---New Ymk Letter tl?3 mailto:f20.G0@20.65
