ST EB BINS, Editor Dispatch to the St. Paul Press. RED WING, June 17. A terrible tornado passed about five milee from this city yesterday, P. M., destroying life and demolishing houses. Sheriff Chandler was overtaken by the tornado, and, on its approach, leaped from his carriage, threw himself upon the ground, and by clinging to n tree, was saved, but received serious injuries, His horse and carriage was taken away between heaven and earth. The horse, to -day, way, was found in a tree top Governor Miller. seventy rods distant. Fragments of the -- carriage have since been discovered.

If the Pioneer has failed to see this issue directly made, it has read the Minnesota Valley papers to poor purpose. In fact the only objection raised to Governor Miller's Administration that is entitled to consideration is this charge implicating hien with the conduct of the Indian war. The interests of the State have been as carefully guarded, the rights of the people as well secured un- der this as any former State Adminis- tration, and yet the disposition to select another to fill the Gubernatorial Chair, is almost universal, and this too in the face of the time honored custom that the Governor should ser ve'for two terms un'ess some palpable malfeasance in of. fice should disqualify him. No such malfeasance exists in regard to Govern- or Miller, and the only cause we can see why he is not universally supporjed _ is the effort to implicate him in the fail- ures attending the prosecution of the Indian war. On the other hand he is very generally opposed, and the best possible face we could put nn this op- position was to hold that it was very generally believed that Governer Miller was somehow responsible for the lack of efficiency in the prosecution of the In - scattered for miles. Mrs. Chamberlain sought refuge in the cellar, very wisely, thereby sdving her life. Mrs. Streeter, who was about descending the cellar stairs, was carried off with the house, and received such injuries as to render recovery impossible. The telegraph line for half a mile was completely destroyed, and some of the poles were drawn out of the ground, and others broken off and the wire found in the fields some distance away. In the town of Vasa several buildings were destroyed and others much dam- aged. It is reported that the storm up the Mississippi Valley was also very severe and did considerable damage. At Ano ka it was sufficiently violent to overturn wagons passing along the road. tOfficial information was received on the 16th concerning the recent_ fires at Chattanooga and Nashville. The loss at Chattanooga amounted to 8200,00, and that at Nashville to nearly 83,000,- 000, which amount may possibly be re- duced one-balf, from the iron chains,, machinery &c., which may be saved from the wreck. About the same time, a fire occurred in Gallatin, Tenn.. the loss of which is not reported.

By unanimous vote it was resolved that tbe citizens of Has- tings celebrate the 4th day of July.— On motion a committee of plan and de- tails was appointed, consisting of L. Van Slyck, N. C. Draper, Mark Willson, Chas. Pearson and P. T. Chamberlain, who reported as follows: 1. Firing of salute and ringing of bells at 6 A. M., and 6 P. M. 2.

Fireworks in the evening, conclud ing with a public ball. The following named sitzens were elected officers of the day: Jlark Will- son, President; L.

The Major then re- sorted t- strategy, and returning to the wharf, had the mutineers brought ashore under the guns of his men, one at a time. They were all disarmed and re- turned to the vessel. The effect will be only to delay the second part of the expedition from sailing as soon as was expected. ''GOOD INDIANS "—An Omaha dis- patch of the 14th says that about 500 Sioux Indians in camp 15 miles west of Fort Mitchell, and supposed to be friend- ly, attacked a guard of one hundred men under Capt. Foukes of the I lth Ohio and 4th cavalry, killing Capt. Foukes and four men, and wounding seven. Quite n number of Indians were killed. The Indians crossed over to the north side of the Platte river. t- A New York journal gives a re- port that the Government has discover- ed a large batch of letters from Fernan- do Wood, Ben Wood, the Seymours, and various other persons in the North, among the rebel archives seized in Rich• mond. It is further said these letters, when published, will startle the commu- nity, showing as they will, the complici ty of the writers in the devilish work of the rebellion. t• The Post's Washington special says: "A delegation from Virginia, headed by Messrs. Botts and Rives, ar- rived here to -day and are awaiting an interview with the President. They op. pose all the measures of Governor Pier pont, and claim that the new constitu- tion of Virginia was formed by a con- i ention of only els on members.

We are happy to hear of the success- ful issue of an interview held last Sun- day with President Johnson by John M. Langston, Esq., the eloquent and able colored orator and lawyel?'of Ober- lin. Mr. Langston arrived in Washing- ton on Friday, but the heavy pressure of National business prevented the President's giving him an au-li,•nee un- til the Sabbath. He went there to lay before the President the case of a pri- vate of Edgarton's Battery, formerly of Pittsfield, Lorain county, who was ar- rested and thrown into prison on a charge of grand larceny, many months ago, and dishonorably discharged the service. There' was evident injustice done the soldier, and Mr. L. procured from Capt. S. W. Dorsey, in whose company the private had formerly been, certificates as to his gond moral charac- ter and correct soldierly bearing — Armed with these, Mr. Langston spread the case before tne President, whose ac- quaintance, it may be stated, he formed in Nashville last winter, and who heard him with kindness and attention. The President iwanediately wrote an order for the release of the soldier from pris- on, his re instatement in the company and the payment of some 8300, the amount of his regular wages during the time of' his imprisonment.—Clevelund Leader. 07. In regard to tbe treatment of Jeff. Davis we may ask, in the words of Davis himself, used in the Senate of the United States when speaking of John Brown; "Who would seek to dull the sword of justice in favor of him whose crime connects with all that is most abhorent to humanity, the violation of every ob- ligation to the social compact, the laws, the Constitution, the requirements of public virtue, and personal honor?" GERMAN EMIGRATION COMING•—At Dresden, on the 26th of June, commen- ces the largest agricultural exhibiton which will be held on the continent du- ring the year, and at`the same time a meeting of all the prominent agricultu- rists of Germany at the same place. A letter from Dresden says of the prospect of emmigration: "The harbor of Hams burg is now fuller of vessels than it has been at the same season for years; and yet there are not enough to take on board all the emigrants bound for Amer- ica. The wharf here is lined with em- igrants as far as the eye can reach. The war in Denmark has doue much to do away with prejudices nn the part of Germans against America; because the London Times was about the only?pa- peltaken here which contained articles relative to America, and all those arti- cles, in times past, as well as present, were unfriendly to the north. During the Danish wa.r The London Times ad- vocated the side of the Danes. This opened the Germans' eyes; they discard ed The Times, and sent their own cor- respondents to America, and since then a much better f 'eling towards America prevails here; and the emigrants are a better class than usual." iii' A plan has been matured in England to avoid all causes of difficulty with the United States about Canada, by making British America an indepen• dent kingdom, with a monarch elected by the people, his throne to be guarran- teed by several European powers besides England—Belgium, Holland, Denmark and Greece, for example, with these po- tentates supporting the King of Cana- da, and a simili•ir league of Emperors supporting the Emperor of Mexico.

Davis wit.', shackles it is due to Maj. Gen. Miles, commanding the post, to give the full facts of the case. After the capture of Davis and party, their arrival at For- ress Monroe, the Secretary of War gave Gen. Miles full instruction how to pro- ceed with his prisoners, -viz : if it be- came necessary to place tt±ir►r in irons to do•so. The partition between front and rear -caseinates, wherein Davis is con• fined, was strengthened, and, to prevent any possibility of the prisoner's flight, Gen. Miles caused a light pair of anklets o be placed on the legs of the distin- guished captive. At present, however, the wooden door has been removed and an iron grating placed in its stead. nes Society in Texas is in a fearful state of anarchy and demoralization.— In the principal cities scenes of violence are or constant occurence, and the better class of citizens are anxious to secure the protection of the United States. tEk.

It is believed that a return to specie payments will not be delayed many months. FATAL ACCIDENT.—A soldier of the Third Illinoia.cavalry, whose name we were unable to learn, was shot dead at the Fort on Sunday last, by one of his comrades. The circumstances of the'ac- cident, as near as we could learn, were as follows: The two soldiers were sport- ing with their carbines, pointing them at each other in a playful manner, when one of thein placed l ;it gun near thQ mouth of the other, snapped it, div charging its contents in the face of his victim.
