policemen arrived from Philadelphia last evening to protect the men and property of the Lehigh Coal Company.The police force now in those places is believed large enough to hold in check the turbulent \u201c Molly Maguires.'1 ;No Change.Wilef-sbarre, Pa., March 21.\u2014There is no change in either the Wilkesbarre or Pittston gorges ; a train left here on the Lehigh Valley road this p.m., and got safely through to Pittston, from which place north, the road has been opened since Friday.At West Pittston many families are moving to their cottages on the Methodist camp ground on the top of the mountain in rear of the town.Great Tornado.Augusta, March 21.\u2014A fearfully destructive tornado passed over here this p.m.This city being situated in a basin was protected by the surrounding hills from the fury of the storm.The rain fall was accompanied by hail unprecedentedly heavy,; several towns in the interior suffered severely in the loss of life and property.At Comae, on the Georgia Railroad, several houses were blown down ; Thos.Geesling was killed and several persons were wounded.Near Thompson, 40 miles from Augusta, a large amount of pro perty was destroyed and several persons killed.At Appling, in Columbia County, the destruction to property is reported to be great ; several persons are reported killed and many wounded.At Kenzie, the Roman Catholic church was completely demolished ; all tele graph lines north, but one, are down.The reports from the country are confused and unsatisfactory as to the extent of damage and the number of lives lost, but there seems to be no doubt that the storm was fearfully destructive, surpassing in extent and violence anything of the kind in this section for yesrs.The tornado caused fearful destruction along its track,laying waste houses, trees and fences, and killing persons and stock.The Baptists were holding a meeting at 'Elam Church, near Comack, when the storm came on them, killing three and wounding 25 persons.Residences and outhouses are demolished on Jmany plantations in Warren, McDuffie and Columbia Counties, in Georgia, the * destruction extends into Edgefield, Aiken and Barnwell Counties.In South Carolina, in some places, persons were blown a distance of 60 yards ; every house on Mrs.P.E.Walton\u2019s plantation, including a fine residence is destroyed.In Columbia County three negroes were killed, and 25 persons wounded ; 10 houses on Dr.Hamilton\u2019s place were destroyed.It is impossible to give a correct idea of the amount of property lost.The list of casualties by the iordado, near Thompson, is-John.L.Stevall and wife, and two daughters of John N.Morgan, badly wounded by falling houses ; several uegroes killed and wounded at Appling ; the houses of 8.Hutchinson, Solon Reese, John Boston, and others, destroyed ; Mrs.Martha Darcy and Miss Maggie Bailey killed ; Miss Malonet and Mrs.Grey seriously wounded ; one end of the Court House blown in.At Comack every house except one is destroyed.Hr.Fielding, telegraph operator, is badly bruised ; Samuel Gosling was standing on a siding when the tornado struck the track, demolishing it completely, and killing him instantly.All trains coming to Augusta, except the Central, are delayed, but there is no serious damage to railroads.No loss of life or damage to property at Augusta.Indicted.Boston, Mass.\u2014In the 'United States District Court on Saturday, the grand jury returned an indictment against Henry Roberts, late cashier of the First Ward National Bank, for embezzlement.Roberts surrendered himself to day, and was ordered to furnish bonds in the sum of $5,000.\tMormonism.Salt Lake City.\u2014An entire tribe of SheebU Indians, about 150, were baptized into the Mormon Church at St.George\u2019s, Utah, yesterdav.Surrender of Indians.Chicago,III., March 2i.\u2014A telegram has been received at Lt.-Gen.Sheri dan\u2019s headquarters reporting the surrender, at Fort Sill, of a portion of the Quohada band of Indians.This tribe is perfectly wild and one of the most troublesome in the South west.The indications are that the whole tribe will come in.Accomplice Convicted.Pittsburg, Pa., March 21.\u2014Frederick Myers, an accomplice of Wm.Murray, who was convicted on Thursday last for the murder of Gotthardt Wahlin in November last, was also convicted to-day of murder in the first degree.Ku-Kkx Caught; Louisville, Ky., March 21.\u2014The Courrier Journal reporter who was sent to the locality of the troubles in Todd County, reports four of the accused Ka VERY BAD E0YS.In view of the sentence of hanging passed upon the boy Pomeroy, in Boston, a somewhat similar case in the French courts, that of the boy Henry, will excite interest.Henry, aged seventeen, incited his playmate, aged eleven, to break open his father\u2019s desk and abstract therefrom 900 francs, the hard pavings of twenty-four years.The child gave all this money to Henry to keep for him, and, when he asked for gome of it, Henry Induced him to go to the river, threw a noose around his neck, and dragged him in the river until he was drowned, then letting the body float away.Henry was among the most curious to see the body exposed at the Morgue.He then dressed himself in fine attire, bought a watch and otlmr things, and stocked his mother\u2019s marine store, a circumstance which led to the discovery.At the trial he did not display the slightest contrition, but endeavoured to address the court in a form of language he had learned in novels.The prosecution regretted that the prisoner's age alone prevented him from receiving capital sentence, and the young murderer was sentenced to twenty years imptisonment and the same number of years surveillance by the police.It seems almost incredible that such utter heartlessness should exist in people so young in years as this young ruffian and Pom.roy.THE ORIGIN OF THE H0RSF- Professor Huxley, in a recent article, says there is evidence which is perfectly satisfactory to competent judges that we have already learned the actual historical progress by which one existing\u201dspecies\u2014 the horse\u2014came into existence during the Tertiary epoch.The evideoce based on the analogy of known developmental facts, that a three-toed Hipparion form, which lived in the Miocene epoch, gave rise, by suppression of the phalanges of its rudi-mental toes and some other slight modific-cations, to the apparently one-toed later Tertiary horse, is as satisfactory to my mind as the evidence, based on the analogy of known structural facts, which leads me to have no doubt that the said extint Hipparion had a simple stomach and a certain kind of heart.If those so-called \u201c Baconian principles,\u201d which everybody takes about and nobody dreams of putting into practice, forbid ns to draw the one conclusion, they forbid us to draw the other.The alternative hypotheses are two : either the Deity manifested His power on this earth, in the course of the Miocene epoch, by making the two primitive ancestors of all the horses out of inorganic matter, or something more unlike a horse than a Hipparion changed into one.The latter hypothesis is gratuitous and absurd.The former is not in itself absurd, but, unless the early chapters of Genesis mean (and one never knows what exergetic ingenuity may make of the \u201c original Hebrew\u201d), it is shockingly heretical, and I hasten to disown it lest, by some such secret connection as bound Goodwin Sands with Tenterden steeple, it should land mo in the cruelties of Caligula, and lead me to violate the precepts of the sagest of physicians, by indulging in Heliogabalian gluttony.But if the horse really has arisen in this way, what imaginable ground can there be for the enormous and, in that case highly \u201c nn-Baconian \u201d assumption that the deer and the ox and the pig have arisen in any other way?And if there is \u2014not perhaps the complete evidence that we happen to possess in the case of the horse \u2014but still much better evidence than there is for the authenticity and genuineness of the books eallad by the name of Moses, that these animals have been produced by a similar method, why may not the hypothesis that they have so arisen take its rank among the probable conclusions of science ?Even though it must, in candour, he admitted that, as we cannot live back into the Tertiary epoch and see what went on at that time, the hypothesis must always remain, in the strictest sense of the word, unverifiable.WANTS, &c.WANTED, An &ctiY9
