Terrible Becord of Destruction—A Mother Cruted by the Killing of Her Three Children— A Wife and Fire Children Killed—Ten Whiles and Sixteen Negroes Killed—Loss, *100,000. Columbus, Ga., March 22,1875. Storms occurred Saturday between 11 and 12 o’clock. There appeared to be four whirl winds, or tornadoes, one near Wbiteville, in Harris county ; another from Harris c ounty iuto Meriwether; another near Hamilton, and another frmn Harris through Talbot. Tho two first created immense havoc to property, but no lives were lost; the one near Hamiltou killed three children of H. W. Pitts, and bad ly wounded two others, one having both legs, both arms and a tbigh brokoD, and injured Pitts and bis wife. Tho latter is bereft of reason from grief. Every house in its courso, for twenty miles in length and half a mile in width, was levelled, trees blown down aud carried hundreds of feet, add fences scattered everywhere: furniture, clothing, stock, etc., all gone, and the people suffering ou account of the destructiou of food. The fourth was most destructive, for twenty miles in length and half a mile in width, its path is marked by ruin and devastation. Tho little village of Mount Airy, in Harris county, was totally de stroyed ; not. a house standing. Tho wife and five children—four grown, three of which were young lad ins—of Capt. J. U. Konnon were kill ed and tliclr bodies blown from fifty to oue hundred yards, and Capt. Kennon Gas hurt in the ehoulder. Two of his sons were saved, being absent from home. Mr. Hunt was in jured in the spine, Wm. McGhee had two ribs broken, and goods and clothing scattered all around; Maj. John U. Walton escaped nar rowly, his residence being demolished ; teach er Clarke and wife are mortally wounded, and their child had an arm fractured ; Rev. J. B. McGhee had his jaw broken and was injured internally; his daughter aud son injured; Tom Neal was hurt and his houso utterly blown away. Baughville, Talbot county, was completely demolished. Elisha Culpepper was killed, his wife and daughter-in-law was seriously wound ed, and Mrs. Burdell had both legs broken. Among others badly hurt aro Mrs. Miller B Phillips, Mrs. Bradshaw and son, a daughter of Prof. Chaplain, and a son of Capt. C. Cal- boun, in all, ten whites and sixteen negroes killed, and five churches demolished, six stores aud four school-houses destroyed. Total loss over one hundred thousand dollars. Columbus has voted four thousand dollars to the sufferers. IlamiltoD and Talbotton es caped by a mile and a half. Direction of the storm was northeast. A gentleman came in on the Southwestern train this morning for six coffins for ono family —that of Capt. John Kennon—his wife, three daughters, and two sons. UPSON COUNTY. Just Touched byythe Storm’s Outer Wing—A Truly Cicil Bights Storm. TnoMASTON, Ga., March 22, 1875. The course of the storm was through the county from west to east, passing near Tboni aston, demolishing fences, trees and houses in its path. Mr. Doc McKenny’s gin-house and out houses, and the chimneys to his dwelling were down ; one negro was killed, and another fatally injured. Marching t>n in its fury, damaging every plantation, more or less, through which it passed, doing considerable njury to Mr. Levi Middlebrook's out-houses, serionsly injuring another negro. A fow miles further on it blew literally away the dining room of Mr. Thomas Poach, as well as other wise damaging bis dwelling. In addition ta this the bouse took fire, and would, iu all prob- ability, liavo been consumed but for a timely passer that was cither coming or the wind bad bronght that way, we have not learned which Furthor on a trea was blown on Mr. Rat cliff, seriously if not mortally hurting him.— Another gentleman in tho same neighborhood is reported to bave nad his spina broken by fiyiDg rail. We are at present unable to state whether this cyclone originated with “Old Probabili ties” or somewhere else at the seat of Govern tnent, hup.this we do know^ that it acted accordance with 1 the provisions of tho Civil Rights bill in giv'mg tho colored race an equal showing in all of its privileges and amenities.
