A terrible storm visited Savannah on Satur
day night doing grout damage. Vlie wind

down, streets blockaded, considerable prop

storm known since the memorable otm of
1854.
Torn belles had a fight on the vcran U of a

On tho 2filh of August, a lire in Chicago, des
troyed nearly a million dollars worth of proper
ty. 7'his time, the lire was not caused by a
cow, nor by kerosene, but by candles which, it
is supposed, were placed on some of the wood
work of the building for convenion -a and Igni
ted the timbers. As long as people are care
less so long will accidents bo frequent. 7'he
property was fully insured.
7'iIK Imurmirf Jnurmil calls attention to a
new kind of indemnity company, which insures
against breaches of trust mid burglaries. It is
Claimed that this species of insurance Is likely
to bo of use to the public, by creating moneyed
Corporations to whose Interest it will be to see
that burglars and embezzlers arc presented mill
aud punished. Prosecutions brought about by
lire insurance companies are said to have les
sened the frequency nfarson, and it Is thought
possible that n similarly bcnellelal influence
may now bo exerted upon burglary utid em
bezzlement, Gkn. Wickhvm, the leader of the stralglitout
Republicans ill Virginia, has published a ietler
announcing his purpose of voLlug with the
Democrats, and of supporting the gallant Daniel.
He concludes his letter us follows : "For my
self, I am I this canvass heartily for Daniel,
Harbour, und MoKinni-y as far less huitfiil to
the best Interests of the State and of the coun

this canvass is over I shall evert all Ihe zeal I
