turnip SATURDAY, MARCH 18. 1865. THR Tbe great storm at tbe East has laid an effectual embargo upon tbe transmission of news, and-rc arc consequently obliged to go to press without a Hue of intelligence'from the military si I nations. Telegraphic comxntmiealiou cast of Buffalo is cut off, and, excepting a few straggling reports which have Jbund their way round via Montreal, we are without any advices from the East From the brief which have come through Jt appears that the storm has been one of unusual severity. Id the oil regions of Pennsylvania, railroads, telegraph lines, bouses, tahis, oil barrels, and other greasy paraphernalia of that greasy honeycomb, arc away, As no calculations are ever 3nade in that locality except upon tbe fcasle of millions, the losses are estimated several millions.

At Utica, N. tbe dlood has cut off tbe supply of gas and swept away tbe Iron railroad bridge, and at Rochester many of the streets are overflowed, and ibe railroad bridges are in danger. We shall doubtless soon hear of great damage in various localities. The Missouri State Convention has vacated the offices of all tbe Circuit, Criminal and Probate Judges in the State, besides sheriffs and other court officers, in all some eight hundred, leaving their places to he Ailed by gubernatorial appointment. This will effectually sift out the disloyal office-holders.

OF CITARLOTjI'ESTIIiLE, Rebel the Richmond Euqmrcr, March AiKmt the Igtof the present month, ftheritlan, 'With between and 10.003 men, ctarted on a raid up the valley, visited Staunton unopposed, And the Gap, opposed by Eary and 6imc 1,500 men. Tho was fruitless, liowtver, onr forces being almost snmnnded overwhelming namhe-s and over lurcd. The enemy then entcreed Charlottesville unopposed.

The following letter gives sc interesting sketch ofthe occupation of that place VIU.E, March 9, 1553. Tbc Yankee army, fire thousand strong, entered this place on Friday, about two o'clock F. the 8d instant, jlie Mayor and civil authorities of the corporation met the enemy on hill southwest of the University rotunda, where the town surrendered by tbc Mayor, and protection to private property guaranteed by the Yankees to the citizens and to the tics of the University. At flrstfive horsemen with drawn pistols rode up to the flag of rtruco, and then immediately galloped to town, then followed six others, and then General Costar, turroundedby a dozen or "twenty men, beanng Confederate dags captured from the defeated and routed troops of General Early; then followed the entire column through the mniu street to the front of the Baptist Female Institute. All the stores closed and tbc windows of the bouses generally but for the rabbleof negrot-s and mean, low bred white women on the streets, everythin" indicated a dead nud buried city.

after theatrical of the invaders guards were placed at every ossed along the line of march. Gen. headquarters were established at Ylrs. B. and General at Mrs.

Elizabeth the signal corps at Mr. John An interview held between the Mayor andHiv. Dr. IBroaddus and General Custer, when thclatter assured these geutleraenriial every necessary protection should bo glveu to ivate proper IT. At the close of the day the Mayor and were sent for at the headquarters of Genual Merritt, who were requested to procure com and forage to supply the horses of the invaders, and delivered to them at Ihclr camps.

Unless this was done an order lo search the premises of the citizens would 3mve to be made. The civil authorities prom- Seed to make inquiries among the citizens to ascertain how much of the required They had on hand, the General saying when lie needed them he would send his wagons for The articles. Four hund ed Im-hels of com belonging to our Government were found at mill, and a few hundred barbels of belonging to private persons were found 'and taken possession of. At night the farms armod Charlottesville covered with cavalry, presenting a sad picture to the eyes our citizens. In town quiet prevailed during the night, except the 3dolse of passing troops as new d-tacbments arrived.

Out of the town depredations and Thievirg were carried on at all places where the had-failed to procure private guards, which had been given to all who requested it. On 8-turday morning, in the outskirts of the town, disorder began to p-e---wail, stores broken open and robbed, private bouses entered and searched. But these were ctopped by the orders and interference of and during the. stey of the army the discipline was rigid and severe, and very llt- Tle damage was done, and private bouses were from interruption by soldiiers; and, private guards were given, no soldier dare enter the bouse without a special written permission from general headquarters. The Hurmers, however, were not protected in their property and provisions; everything for man and were consumed, and acts of atrocity and were committed.

Thtcats of vengeance were made to ladies, in order to pel th'-ir watches; the wretches held pistols to their heads to snlimidate them and compel them to give up Their property. These and similar acts wore done for ton miles east of. Charlottesville, as far down as the enemy wntured lo go. Scouting and robbing parties were sent out in all directions on Saturday and Sunday, plundering os they went. The slaves were not exempt from plunderings.

Whenever one bad any gold or elver it was sure to be stolen by these pretended negro-worshippers. On Saturday ana Sunday all the able-bodied negro men were pressed into the Yankee serwlcc to destroy the iron railroad bridges, and on Sunday evening the wood trestlework of These bridges was burned, and They are now aheap of mins. The county free bridge was burnt on Monday morning. Montic dlo would have been burned had not the wife of the present occupant been sick. The vandals Threatened to destroy.lt on their next visit.

A raiding party that went down to within Two miles of the Hun. W. C. threatened to born his bouse also. Grain, foiape, provisions and horses were Taken iff the farms, In some jiot a particle to feed the cattle with; vet generally the hogg cows, oxen, sheep and fowls were not disturbed.

In some few ineterccM hog or a beef or a sheep was killed, but none were wantonly destroyed. On Friday night the Jacto-V of Mr. Marchant was destroyed. On Monday that of Mr. Flaniiagan was also destroyed, and all Tbc factories within their reach shared a olarfute.

On Sunday evening some of the Yankee determined to publish a paper, and to the Chyould' office to effect their design but portions of the press had been removed with the und they were unable to do so. They then took possesion of the Jeffersonian office, andccmmcucod operations, and after progressing for a while, suddenly saying they might resume their object luxi.dav; but orders had been issued to move off by six next day, and no further operations for the issue of their paper were resumed. Inclosed I send a copv of euch articles as were left In type by the Yankees. No damage was done to the tvpe or fixtures of either of the printing offices in the place. On Mondcv morning, soon aPer light, the drums were heard, end the troops were seen marching down the main evacuating the town.

Large numbers of negroes mounted on stolen horses were seen going off with, the Yankees; women with little children in their arms seemed as eager to be off as the men. While the Yankee army was in they circulated reports that Lymffibu-g was captured, Richmond but Mone but weuk-beaded and weak-kneed persons gave credence to such stories. They wild there were fifteen thousand cavalry with them; but five thomand will cover all tbev had. Gens. Sheridan, Oustar, Merritt and Porsyth were with the invaders.

If there were other generals I have not heard their names. On leaving the. town they separated into four columns, taking ns many different directions. One of the columns went to Scotts- Mile, destroying the factory there and the canal. Yours, Moxxjcello.

I also served a term of six mouths as Secretary before my election in Angnst. I have hevid Judge Morris address the Order lialf a dozen times. I him speak in reference to the prisoners at Carop Douglas, or thwir forcible release. There never was any project in the Order to release them.

The Judge said the Order was to enable ns to protcc: purseltea against attack from the Loyal Leagues, and to aid in the election of the Democratic candidate for President, Oca. Mc- Clellan.

To sum up, there were found in Umsaf, physically and morally, two natures which ere rarely combined In the same person.

(Llv. 11., cap. AS A POLITICAL DITFICDLTT uf ronxxno a party. In periods of transitions- and ibis is their greatest it is necessary to choose between a glorious poet aud on unknown fuiure, bold and unscrnpaloos men are those only who ibinst tbcmEClve? forward. Others, more dnud, and enslaved by prejudices, remain in the shade, and are an obstacle to the movement by which society is borne on to new It Is a'ways a great evil for a country which has been prey to agitation that honest men, or good man, as ro called them, do not accept the modern ideas which by moderating they might direct.

Bence profound divisions, unthe one hand, disreputable people profit by the good'or evil passions of the croud: on the other, honorable, but passive or intractable men oppose all progress, and provoke, by their obstinate resistance, legitimate impatience and deplorable violence. The opposition of these last mentioned has the double disadvantage of leaving the field clear to loose who are less orthy, and of keeping up donbt In the minds of the fioailng mass who judge of parties more by thojrobltv of individuals than the value of ideas. What passed la those timel at Borne is a striking example of the fact. Was It not. Indeed, Just, that people should hesitate to prefer to the taction which hod at its head illastnon? persons like Uortensias, Catulus, Marcellos, LucnUosand Cato, the party which coasted In' Its ranks men like Catinlus, Mauling, Catiline, Vantinins and Clcdlns What more legitimate in the eyes of the descendants of the ancient families thnp that resistance to all change, and the disposition to consider all reform as utopian, and almost sacrilegious? What more logical than to admire the firmness of sool of still young, braved the threat of death rather than admit the of becoming one day the defender of the canee of the allies demandmgthe rights of Romm citlteus And how ehould they not enter into the feelings of Catulus and Bortenslos defending with obstinacy the privileges of the and manifesting their fears at the onward impulse to concentrate all authorliy in a single person? And yet tho cause supported by such men was doomed to perish, like everything else that has completed Its lime.

In spile of their virtues, were only an obstacle the more in the regular inarch of civilisation, becacEO they were deficient in the quality which is most essential in time? of revolutionthe faculty of understanding the requirements of the moment and the problems of the future. Instead of seeking out what could bo saved from Ibe wreck of the old regime which wa? going to pieces on that most formidable of of public refused to admit that the institution to which the republic had been indebted for its greatness would prove the cause of 1 decline. Terrified at every innovation, they confounded In the same proscription the sedition ot a few Tribunes and tbc Jiut demands of tbc people. Bat their Influence was so considerable and the ideas mat were hallowed by thorn held such an empire their znlads, that they would still have obstrnttad 7ho triumph of the popular cause, had not Cxsar, by putting himself at its head, given It new lustre and irresistible force. Aparty, like an army cannot conquer but under a leader working to command it.

Fusloa S. Stipules, and many others of tbesame stimp. In moments of transition, when the old system is in extremity and the new one not yet in place, the greatest difficulty docs not consist in overcoming obstacles are opposed to the installation of government called lor by the wishes of the country, butln solidly establishing It; in found-, mg it on the co-operation of honorable men penetrated with the new ideas, and firm in tbeir principles. (Liv. chap, C.ESAJI OT MISREPRESENTATIONS or ms motives retcteo.

We have shown Cmsar acting only In accordance with his political convictions, whether as the ardent promoter of all popular measures or as the avowed partisan of Fompey. We have shown him aspiring, through noble ambition, to power and honors, butwe know that historians mcencral suggest other motives for his conduct He is represented as having since CSt all hts plans arranged, his snares laid, his instruments ready. They attribute to him absolute knowledge of the fathre, the faculty of directing men andtoings at his pleasure, and of making each man an scions accomplice in his deep designs. All his acts are moved by a hidden agency, which the historians boast ofdiscovcrlng after all is done. If Cmsar catchup the standard of Marias, and be-' 'comes the deiender of the oppressed, and' the persecutor of the hired assassins of the past tyranny, it in order to seenre assistance necessary 10 his ambilion.

If he straggle against Cicero for tbo legality of tbe proceedings against the accomplices of Catalfnc, or support an agrarian law of which he approves the political object: if, in order to repair a great injustice committed by Scylls, he supports the re-fnatatement in their rights of the children of the proscribed, it Is with a view to abase tho great orator In the eyes of the popular party. If, on the contrary, he places his influence at tbe service of Fompey; if, on the occasion oi the war against tho pirates, he contributes to invest him with powers deemed exorbitant if ho second tho pleoiseitum which confers noon him the command of tbo army against Mlinrfdates: if subsequently he moved that extraordinary honors should be conferred upon him in hu ab: this is with the Macchlavclian object of turning the greatness of Fompey to his own advantage. So that, if be defend liberty, it is to rain his adversaries; and if he defend the government it is to habituate the Romans to tyranny. Finally, if Cssar pretend, like all members of the Roman nobility, to the honor of the Co It is because he sees through the fasces and tho dust of tbe battlefield tbe dictatorshipnay, even tbe throne. Snch interpretations proceed from tho too common fault of not cstlmailng facts by themselves, Jbe coloring whlcn subsequent evils impart to them.

It Is, Indeed, a strange Inconsistency to attribute to men of superior mark at paltry motives and sa icrbaman foresight. No; it was not the thought of keening Cfccro In check which guided Ciesar. He bad not recoups to tactics more or leas skillful; ho acted on his arm conviction, and what places this beyond doubt is, that once raised to power, hla act? were to carry out, a' consul or dictator, what be had advocated as a simple citizen; for instance the agrarian law and the reinstatement of the proscribed. No; If he supported Fompey it was not because he contemplated polling him down aft-r setting him up. but because the Illustrious cantainted embraced tho same cause os for It was given to no one to read tbe fntnrc so well as to divine the use which the conqueror of IHthridatcs would make of his triumphs and his popularity.

In fact, when he landed in Italy, Rome was in a state of much anxiety. Would he disband his army? was the cry of alarm heard on all sides. If he come as a master, no one could resist him. Contrary to the general expectation, Fompey disbanded his troops. How, then, conld Qesar foresee a moderation so unusual in those dsys I Is it more correct to sa; that Cffisar on becoming aspired to supreme power? No; on setting out for Gaul ho could have no thought of reigning at Boas, no more than General Bonaparte In sotting pat lor Italy In ITO6 dreamed of the Empire.

Was it possible for Cffisar to foresee that during his ton stay In Ganl be should be always succes? at, and that at the end of that period the minds of the Roman people would lie favorable to schemes? Conldbe guess that the dMth of his daughter would snap the links that had bound b'm to pey; Out Crsisus, instead of returning trlamphant from the Ea't, would be conquered and slain by the Parthisns; that the murder of 'Clof'ins would throw oil Italy confusion: and, finally, that the anarchy which be had striven Id pat down by means of tbc Triumvirate won lead to his elevation Ctcsar bad before his eyes great examples. He marched gloriously In the footsteps of men like Sciploano The hatred of his forced him to seize the dictatorship like Scylla, bnl for a nobler cause, and by conduct exempt from vengeance and cruelty. Let us not be tbes anxious to seek out petty passions in great souls. Vhe success of superior this Is a consoling owing more to the loftiness of their sentiments than to the calculations of selfishness and astuteness. Their success depends mnefa more on their abilltyin taking advantage of circumstances than on the blind presumption of believing themselves capable of producing events which are only In the bands of God.

Certainly, Ctesat had faith In his destiny and confidence in his genius; but faith is an instinct, and not a calculation, and genius forejudges the future withofff divining Us mysterious Ii; chap, THE USB AND BENEFIT OF A BTBOKO OOVERNBEST TUB AUTHOR THINKS THE DICTATORSHIP OF BCTLLA. The history of the last fifty years, and especially the Dictatorship of Scytla, evidently showed that Italy required a master. On all sides the institutions gave way before the power of one' who was sustained not only by hla own partisans, but blbo by the warring crowd who, tired out by the action and the reaction of opposite partes, longed for order and repose, uad the conduct of Scylla been modera'e, that which is called the empire would probably have began with him; but his authority was exercised with such cruelty and ono-aldedoesa that on his death people forgot the abuses of liberty, to think only of the abuses of tyranny. The more the democratic spirit spread, the more did the old institutions lose tbc prestige that ouce attached to them. In truth, confldlogand impassioned, always believes its interests to be more suitably represented by a single person than by a political body, it was ever Inclined to Intrust its future to him who should raise himself by merit above his contemporaries.

The Gracchi, Marias nni ScyJk had each In turn disposed at their pleasure of the destinies of thcrepnblic; had with Impunity trampled under foot old institutions and old usages; but their reign was they represented only factions. Instead of comprehensive regard for the wishes and interests of the whole Italian peninsula, they favored this or thit of society exclusively. Some wanted, above all other things, to improve the condition of the pauper population of Rome, to procure emancipation lor the preponderance for the equestrian order; while others sought to maintain the privileges of aristocracy. fatted. -In to found a durable order of things a man was wanting who, raising himself above vulgar passions, should combine in himself the essential qualities and the just ideas of each one of those who bad preceded him, and who should avoid their defects as well as their errors.

To the greatness of soul aud.thu love for -the people wbirh distinguished certain of the Tribunes, he should Join the military genius of the great Generals, and the profound altichmcnt of the dictator to order and hierarchy. JTAs man qualified for to high a mission already existed bur, notwithstanding his name, he would perhaps have remained long unknown had not the penetrating eye of Scylla detected him amid the crowd, and by persecution drew the attention of (he people upon bun.
