Wednesday Senate. Senator More- head takes tbo chair in absence of Lieut- Governor Armfield. Mr. D. P, Mast, of rorsy the county, was elected Enrolling iJerk lor both Houses. ',1 Mr. Waring: A resolution that a cod- mitteo of 7 from the Senate and 12 from the House of Representatives bo appoin ted to suggest some feasible plan by which the public debt can be adjusted satisfactory to the creditors and without oppression to the tax payers of the State, and to report by bill or otherwise. It lies over one day. A resolution upon its second reading in reference to a btate Convention came up. It appointed fire from the Senate and eight from the House as ajoint com mittee on the subject, but on motion of Mr. Waring and the further motion of Mr. .Love, the resolution was amended to tnako the joint committee consist of eight from the Senate and 12 from the House, which was adopted. Mr. Busbee thought that the question was rather premature. He moved to lay the resolution on the table, but withdrew at the solicitation of Mr. Waring forva moment, and tbo latter briefly gave his views upon the subject, stating that if tbe people of North Carolina desired a Convention he was in favor of it, if oth erwise, not. Mr. Baebee rejoined that he thought tbe whole matter premature. He moved to indefinitely postpone. Mr. Parrish thought it eminently prop er to introduce these resolutions so that 'the people might have an opportunity to give this question of a convention due consideration. He strongly opposed any postponement. Mr. Busbee moved to postpone the --question until the 15th of December. j Mr. French etrougly opposed a fixing of a certain day, - but the committee should be allowed to report at their pleas ure. j Mr. Bell was in favor of a free discus isioa; All the light possible should be brought out. Mr. Busbee: Distinguished men from different portions of tbe State to consult withiSenators' upon this momentous sub ject would be with us at an early . day, hence he thought ifbe.it to hold up. Mr. Mills opposed a postponement. Hesitancy upon tbo part of this Legisla ture would impede convention so neces sSry'at this lime as it did when Gov. Caldwell at a former Legislature vetoed ttje question. He was in favor of speedy action. - Mr. Latham Baid in bis county this question did not come up in tbe cam paign, and he wished to learn bow they stood, but would vote for tbe resolution not committing himself, but it was well enough to have a committee appointed and obtain all light possible. , Mr. Bell strongly urged the appoint ment of a committee. Mr. Cooke would vote for the resolu tion but without committing himself to vote for or against a convention. He wanted the committee appointed to have all suggestions proper on tbe subject. Mr. Waring concurred with Mr. Cooke and explained tbe resolution, he being its introducer. Mr. Graham opposed postponement. Let tbe committee act. Mr. Linney could vote for the resolu tion without any committal on his part whatever. Mr. McElroy concurred with Mr. Lin ney. It was a question not brought . up in the campaign in his county. He 'thought they favored a convention. Mr. Marler moved in order to compro mise to substitute for the 15th December, next Wednesday for tbo consideration of the resolution. " The Sonate refused to adopt tbe amend . ment. Mr, Kerr thought his plan instructing the committee to report after the Christ . mas holidays wisest. He wished to con sult his people. It was a -vital question and by some ill-advised move the party now. iu power would quickly pass from it, if calm consideration was notthad. Mr; Mills never heard of Bach instruc tions to a committee about when they should report. Mr. Kerr's amendment did not pre vail. .. Mr. Selby stated that his people were against this Question ana no in conse quence would vote against the resolution attbeoutstart. ' Mr. Love moved to postpone until Monday next. Defeated. The question now arising upon the passage of tbo iceolution, it was aaoptea, with but a few dissenting votes. The committee will bo composed of 8 Sena- lu' ti 4 Representatives.

By the storm of Sunday about three hundred persons were deprived of homes and the total loss to the town and private individuals is esti mated at five hundred thousand dollars. The Memphis and Charleston Rail Road Company looses twenty thousand dollars. The storm came on while most of the people were supping. It came like the sound of rushing thunder and passed oer immediately. The houses were blown down and in many places the streets and roads were everywhere filled with crumbling walls and shattered timbers. The people immediately organized and appointed lead ers and bet about rescuing those held by fallen timbers and recovering the .bodies of the killed. In addition to tbe killed mentioned in yesterday's Nashville dis patch, 30 persons were iujured. Soon after the storm Lad blown over, it was dibcovered that the iron railroad bridge oyer Spring creek, about half a mile from town, had been completely destroyed. At the same moment it was remembered ihat the train from Memphis could be ex pected to arrive at any moment. - The ut most confusion prevailed. No one seemed to know what to do. At length ayoung man named Womble seized a huge stick of pine wood, and after thrusting it into a house near by, he rushed towards the bro ken" bridge, waving the blazing wood over his head as he went. He had almost reach ed the creek when his torch was extinguish ed by the rain, which was falling in tor rents. At the same time the whistle of the train was beard, and the next moment the head light flashed through the darkness. The young man called with all his might, but the Engineer heard nothing bat the sound of the storm, and before any warn ing could be conveyed to him, the engine, baggage car and one passenger coach went over the embankment fifty- feet down into the creek. The rear passenger cars did not go off the track,it being blocked np ljy the wreck of the foremost ones. The en gineer, firemen and baggage master went over with it. They were cut out of the ruins after two hours' hard work. They were very dangerously burned and bruised, but are expected to recover. J Several of the passengers were slightly injured, but none of them were prevented from proceeding on their journey. -They were delayed three hours. j The searching party first removed the ruins of State Senator Moore's house. Mrs. Moore was found on a bed with two heavy timbers laying across her, and two child ren under her dead, crushed all out of shape. Two other children were rescued alive. John Hodgkins was blown out of the second-story window of his house, and the house was blown down, burying his brother's family. On cutting through the wreck, Mr Hodgkins,hi8 wife and four chil dren were all found crushed to death. The mansion of Mrs. Winston was blown down, and she found killed by a heavy wardrobe and other furniture. The house was valued at over forty thousand dollars. Her son-in-law, Ex-Governor Lindsay, who occupied a portion of the house was un hurt. In the midst of the strength of Christ ianity, numerical and potential, Infideli ty is lost. True, it lives. Now and then we meet with a man who openly professes it ; bere and there we see a bill posted, notifying ns of a Sunday lecture for denouncing the Bible; and occasion! ally there is a pompous parade of a cbal lenge for discussion, from one of its champions. There is always moreorless of it lingering about the drift-ways f life ; and at rare intervals, a man cf high' er respectability is found about the pur lieus of its public assembly. True to its nature as the vampireHoChristianityj it comes into higher activity in times of peculiar religious interest. But it is a vigor which soon exhausts itself, and all settles back into the old op hill track. Look at New York with its 300 Chris tian churches, and how many "Halls of Science," or congregations of Infidels, exist beside them? Possibly two or three. Take Philadelphia with its 280 Christian Churches, and we have; on the other band, one '"Sunday . Institute" : and another Infidel assembly of which we have learned. Counting- the attendance, the disparity would be still more striking. Go to Baltimore, Boston Richmond, or Charleston, and the result would not be materially different. Go even to our western cities, into which the German States have poured' so largely, not of their rationalism; bat of the gross infi delity which is the proper residiam or a rationalistic fermeqt; there the propor tion of infidels is larger, it is true, bat they are still a miserable minority, if we reckon people according to their undis guised professional - .-'.!: I !.,; ' And yet we have always heard that the cities are the hot-beds of Infidelity. If it is so hopek-ss of triumph there, what must it be in the rural districts where, as an open profession, it has scarcely a name ? The great heart of the country is there, and there, however low vital religion may sometime be, tho great mass call Christianity their system, aud cases are exceedingly rare often not one in a township in which it is boldly denied. With such results before us, after tbe experiments of centuries, we do Infideli ty no wrong, when we pronounce it a miserable failure. It met Christianity with every apparent prospect of success; it seemed to possess superior facilities for access to the people, in the very re ipects in which the gospel appeared for bdding;and yet Christianity is, at this moment, the controling religious system of the world, everywhere known and in fluential, and fast growing in influence, while Infidelity has sunk to the smallest of the impediments in its way. ; Tomatoes fob Wihteb Use. A corres respondent sends to the Rural New Yorker the following: "As the tomato season has commenced, I will give one way of keep ing them that may be new to some of your readers. I ate them in February, sliced and -seasoned with sugar and vinegar, that seemed every way as nice as tomatoes fresh picked from the vines. They were pre pared thus: Dissolve a teacupful of salt in a gallon of water. Pick ripe tomatoes, but not too ripe, leaving a little stem on. The tomatoes must be kept well covered with brine, and they will keep till spring or longer." COTTON WAREHOUSE. We now have storage capacity for Three Thousand Bales of Cotton.
