The Great Tornado of Monday Night*
From the Charlestoa Mercury.
Obaxoebubo, 8 C., May 7, 1801.
Terrible Tornado—lie Oouree and Fffecte—Sin
gular Power of the Whirlwind—Lott of
Life—The Phenomenon, etc., etc*
The great tornado which swept over our dis
trict yesterday afternoon will long bo remem
bered as one of the most remarkable as well as
disastrous calamities which have ever ooeurred
in this neighborhood.
It began about balf-past four o'clock, going
from west to east. It first broke in ite fury
upon tbs plantation of L. C. Glover, Esq., do
ing much damage to the fences and very seri
ously injuring one of bis negroes. Rapidly
passing from ibis locsliiy, it rusbed in its deso
lating course successively over ibeplaniaiions
of R. T. H. Legare, J. J. Andrews, H. Kills
and H. Wannamaker, (earing (be fences to
pieces, and ripping up lbs crops most fright
fully. It next swept through the plantation
of Mrs. John O'Cain, utterly destroying all
the buildings upon ber place, crippling one lit
tle negro, and (browing Mr. Geo. 11. Pooeer
about ( 100 feet, literally oovering him with
lumber. It next passed to the plantation of
Dr. J. O. Jenkins, and here ibe work of devas
tation was most complete. The Doctor’s dwell
ing and out-buildings were entirely new, and
well arranged, but so utter was the destruction
wrought in a momer t by tbe furious whirlwind
that scarcely a vestige of any of the houses
remain. Two of his negroes were instantly
killed, and be himself, bis wife and child and
two negroes were badly bruised and wounded.
The hurricane next passed over the plenta-
lion of Joo. Riokenbscker, Esq., destroying
all bis negro houses, and wounding one or two
of liis negroes. It then passed over Four Hole
Swamp, but what damage it has occasioned
beyond, is not yet ascertained.
Tbe course of the gale which I have indica
ted, extends fora diatauce of tweuty five miles,
and tbe width of the path of the whirlwind
was about a quarter of a mile. Tbe roar of the
tempest was frightful. When first seen, the
whirlwind was red, but soon afterwards it be
came very black. Its power was wonderful,
and it bore heavy fragments of Dr. Jenkins’
bouses more then two milee from tbe site of the
houses. In iraieraiog tbe wood it twisted up
and prostrated the largest pine trees in every
direction, and in one instance it tore up a
stone wall entire, leaving it with its founda
tions highest. 1 may give you hereafter some
further accounts of the effects of this tremen
dous tornado.
From the Charleston Courier, May 13th.
The Hcam-Shlp Niagara.
This steam frigate, which was reported some
days since was coming off this port to block
ade the harbor, was first noticed off here at
an early hour on Saturday by Pilot Boat No.
4, then outside the bar, and also from tbe
steeple of tbe Custom House.
The pilot boat observed in tbe offing on Fri
day evening what appeared to be a merchant
ship bound in, and which, not beiug in sight
on Saturday, was no doubt ordered off. To
wards midday tbe Niagara disappeared, but
returned off the port in the afternoon.
On Saturday .Captain Robert Lockwood, pi
lot in Boat No. 2, (the W. Y. Ltitch,) look to
sea tbe schr. Minnehaha, for Baltimore ; soon
after leaving which vessel outside, he made a
square rigger standing in for the bar. Being
anxious to board, but not liking the Niagura,
then in sight, he concluded to send bis large
boat into port, and lake to his skiff with a
trusty hand.
He reached tbe vessel about 7 P. M., and
found her to be tbe British barque Dilja,
from Ltvjrpool, consigned (0 Messrs. R. Mure
& Co. Tbe time being loo late to gel ber in
to port, be remained on board during Satur
day night, bis skiff being taken on deck and
carefully placed away. On 8unday morning,
it being calm, he was unable to get ber under
way, and about balf-past 8 A- M. she was
boarded by a boat from the Niagara, comman
ded by R. L. May, who informed the Captain
of the Jfilja that tho port was blockaded—
tbe rebels inside having fired on Fort Sum
ter with a garrison of less than 100 men ; gave
him a Yankee peper containing tbe latest news,
and mentioned that an army of 100,000 meu
had landed in Louisiana. Tbe Captain of tbe
J/i'Ja informed the boarding officer that he wts
short of water, and requested a supply from
the Niagara, but he was informed that tbe fri
gate bad less of the article than was necessary
for ber. Tbe following is a copy of the en
dorsement of Lieut. R. L. May on the papers
of the IWja:
Boarded May, 12th and ordered off. The
whole Southern coaet of the United Statee of
America ; it being blockaded.
(Sigoed) R. L. MAY,
Lieutenant U. 8. Steam Ship Niagara."
The officer remained by the Jlilja for about
tweoty minutes, when he left. Tbe boat’s
crew bad a revolver each in a belt attached to
the waist. Mr. Lockwood left the lli'ja about
10 A. M , and reached tbe city In his skiff, ac
companied by a valuable boat hand, who re
mained faithful, although appearances indica
ted that tbs boy hs4 only to open his motufc
when he might h*** had s passage to some
other place than “ Dixie’s Land."
The J/Uja went off during the day, end will
proceed to 1 he British Provesees. The British
ship Monmouth, from Liverpool, and the ship
General Park hill, from tho same place, were
teen off the bar yesterday, aad were ordered
off; and we understand that the Niagara had
previously seat off three other square rigged
vessels During Sunday tbe Niagara went •« 1
off shorn, aocomponied by two of tho above
vessels, sod while she was abseot| tbe British
shipld Jf A., Cept. Hutchinson, from Belfeot,
stood in from (be eastward, when tbs Niagara
mads after her ; but tbe ship, haviag much
ibe start, was run into shoe) water, where the
frigate could sot well sMressb ber, when the
Niagara put about nod stood South. If ibo
boots of tbo Niagara fail to board ber be fere
tbls morning, oho mey bo got lot* port, with
tbo aid of sioam, In the morning. Tho men
