T Violent Winds and ' Unusual Hearr Rainfall Prostration ot Telegraph ic Wires Hooses Unroofed Marine Disasters, &c. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Washington, Oct. 23. A heavy rain storm, accompanied by a violent wind from the northeast, passed over the city last night from 1 o'clock until 7 this morning. The wind was very high, unroofing houses, uprooting trees, and doing other damage. Owing to the storm the signal office re ceived only twenty out of the usual hun dred and twenty reports from various sig nal stations. The western reports came by way of New Orleans. It was an Atlantic coast storm, and did not reach the Missis sippi Valley. i , The storm came from the tropics. At 11 o'clock on the morning of the 20th the signal service ordered up signals at Key West for a storm in south Florida. On the morning of the 21st the storm was to the southeast of Key West, and on the morning of the 22od to the east i t southern Georgia. At midnight of the 22 ad it was, with greatly increased velocity, central near Cape Hatteraa, on the North Carolina coast. The maximum velocity of the wind was sixty miles an hour. From midnight to noon to-day the storm, rapidly in.i creasing fa energy, was central near Balti more. The pressure at the centre this, morning was below 29.9 inches. It was all attended with an unusual heavy rainfall. : Here lhe,fall was 3 54 Inches; at Baltimore, 3.74 inches; Norfolk, 2.86; Lynchburg, 2.01; Smithyille, N. C, 4.32. : " Baltimore, Oct. 23. The storm here did great damage. Around the basin the water rose very high, several wharves being submerged, and there was some damage to shipping. i V The steamer Florida, which left for Nor folk yesterday, and returned this morning, reports naving her bow badly stove in by a neavy sea on i'omt JLooKout, and was una ble to proceed; also reports having seen one of the VVeems' steamers, supposed to be the Theodore Weems, with machinery disabled, apparently drifting and with sig nals set, but the - F lorida, owing to her. crippled condition, was. unable to render any assistance. A deeply laden three masted schooner, with signs for assistance, was off Hooper's Straits, and another vessel near her, bottom up. Off Sandy Point a Bay vessel was sunk, and off Magathy river another. Richmond, Oct. 23. A heavy wind and rain storm prevailed here last night, par ticularly for several hours after midnight, when the wind became almost a hurricane. t was the hardest storm in this vicinity for years, and doubtless considerable damage has been done; the extent of which, how-' .ever, has not yet been ascertained, beyond the blowing down of signs, trees and fences in the city, and damage to the telegraph lines. Baltimore, Oct. 23. Alone; the line of the Baltimore, Washington & Potomac Railroad the storm is reported to have been destructive, but no particulars have been - received, all the wires leading north from Baltimore being down. At F rederick, Aid., and other places in the western part of the State, the storm is reported i have been very seveie. WASHINGTON. A New ltuiing of tne Attorney Gene ral in Reference to National Banks Secretary Sbermau Preparing for his Annual Report Movement of Troops. By Telegraph to the Horning Star.l Washington, Oct. 23. Attorney Gene ral Devens has overruled a former decision. that National Banks in making up capital subject to duty may be permitted to deduct united states bonds at their face value.and now decides that they may deduct the amount invested in such bonds, not only their face value, but premium added. The opinion is expressed in the Treasury that this decision will reopen fifty thousand assessments made by the Treasurer since the passage of the National Banking Act, and considerable money will be required to reiuna ine erroneous amies coneciea irom the banks under the previous ruling. Department employes entitled to vote at the November elections will be allowed sufficient leave of absence to visit their re respective States for that purpose. Ihe President and Mrs. ilayes, secretary Sherman, and George A. Gustin, Private Secretary to the President, left for Cumber land. Aid., to-night. Secretary Sherman is gathering statistics preparatory to work upon his annual re port, which will be a very, lengthy one. it is said he proposes to enlarge . upon the question of specie resumption, but will not uree anv additional legislation to mat ena. as be regards the question as seined, ana before such legislation could be had specie payments will have been reached. In re gard to national banks, he will argue that they will be in a condition to co-operate with the government in carrying out ex lstmg statutes, as they are now in posses sion of ample meacs to that end.: The Eighteenth Regiment or xniantry has been directed to move from the De partment of the South to the West, for op erations against the Indians.

CURRENT COMMENT. The "ins" N. Y. The political result so far may be summed up thus: 1. Democrats reasonably sure of obtaining com plete control of Congress. 2. Dem ocrats by no means sure of retaining the states controlled by them, but with strong hopes of capturing some from the Republicans. 3. Republi cans sure to be in a minority in both houses of Congress. 4. Republicans by no means sure of retaining: all the State governments -controlled by them, but with strong hopes of cap turing some from the Democrats. 5. Greenbackers a i disturbing force. They will have a number of members of Congress, but not enough to di- rrectly control legislation. will suffer from their efforts, Graphic, Had. Mr. Roscbe Conkling, in a "great" speech made at Philadelphia on Saturday night, poured the vials of his wrath upon' the South at much length, confining himself principally to this branch of Kadioa! slander. He said the "rebellion" was not only 'monstrous," but was also one of the most "cowardly" crimes of the age. We notice the rebellion was never so cowardly as to induce Mr. Conkling to put himself anywhere in reach of its warlike missiles. If Mr. Conkling had ever come within range of the rebel cannon, he would perhaps agree that the "rebellion" was by ho means so'cowardly as he now imagines it to have been, in the simplicity or his own personal igubrance of the looks and the ways of rebels.
