THE CYCLONE.
Parlloularti of Hie Dreadful Storm
of Satnrelay.
Fearful Lom of Fife.
Sad Havoc among Bounc and oilit'r
Property.
We condense from the Telegraph the follow- j
ing particulars of the destructive storm of Sat-
Unlay last: . . .
No such appalling calamity has ever visited
tin- State as the storm of Saturday. Its de- j
tails are of the most heart-rending character. ,
Many lives and an incalculable amount of prop
erty have been destroyed. The destruction of
property is a calamity that would awaken the j
pi .Roundest pity, but when we consider the
horrible loss of life, the fearful mangling of
those who were overtaken by the terrible de
stroyer we have no words to express the awful
extent of the desolation. The storm has Past
n belt of ruin across the State, the like of which
is not known in the history of the country. The
simoons, which sometimes devastate whole sec
tions of the East, could not be more terrible
than this one which passed over Georgia.
The march of the tornado was west from
Harris county, across Talbot, l.pson, Monroe,
.Jones, Baldwin, Hancock, Glascock, McDuffie
and Columbia, touching Richmond also, and
passing into Carolina. We have not reports
from all these counties; hut have reason to be
lieve that all were not visited with like severity,
at least, we hope so.
HARRIS AND TAT.IIOT COUNTIES.
The effects of tlyi storm in Harris and Talbot
counties are of the most shocking character.
The storm seems to have commenced on the
east side of the mountain this side of Hamilton,
Harris county, passed Mt. Airy and Baughsvdle,
Talbot county. At the first named place twelve
or fifteen persons were killed, and a good man}
wo m led. John Todd, wife and five children
were killed ; Dr. Peters and other members of
his family were seriously injured; Mr. E. Bran
non lost some of his family, and others hurt;
Charlie Hunt, merchant at Mount Airy, had Ids
back broken and his store-house and goods
swept away ; Mr. Elisha Culpepper was killed,
and his wife and daughter badly hurt; a young
man by the name of Crawford was killed ; A.
j> O’Neil’s houses were all blown away ; J. B.
(Gorman’s mill and gin are all gone; J. H Wni
ton had his houses all unroofed, but none of his
family were hurt; J. A. Clements had his house
blown down, and all the family in it were cov
ered with timber, but no one was hurt; B.Trus
sel’s houses were all blown down,and their fur
niture and clothing were all blown away.
The number of fatalities in these counties
were twenty-five, most of which were in Har
ris county. Two negroes were killed on Dr.
Peters’ place. ,
Mr Cannon, of Harris county, lost live chil
dren and his wife and two other children were
'hadlv hurt. He was not at his house at the
rtime but knowing that his family were in dan
lßer lie was struggling to get to them when he
, ne t the bodies of two of his little daughters
being carried along by the cyclone.
Mrs Culpepper found her husband crushed
under a heavy sill. With super-human strength
*he lifted the immense piece of timber from
his body, only to find him crushed to death.
Jio two men in the county could lift the piece
-r timber under ordinary circumstances.

The house was lifted off and utterly ruined, b,..
not one of his family was hurt.
The store of Mr. Sparks, in Harris county,
was demolished and his goods blown away.
His calicoes, osnaburgs and othVr goods are now
fluttering from the limbs of trees outside the
track of thc storm.
Near a little place called Red Bone, Mr.
Robert Bryant's house was blown down and
his arm was broken, his wife seriously injured,
and a little niece who was hoarding with him
had her leg broken.
JONES COUNTY.
Our accounts from Jones county are very
meagre; but we learn that the damage was
very great. In thc upper part of the county,
near the Putnam line, the residence of Mr.
Wm. (lore was destroyed. Mr. Gore was badly
injured and Mrs. Home, a widowed sister, was
killed. The devastation in this county was
similar to that elsewhere, but detads have been
less accessible.
At Milledgeville the storm was more fearful
than was first reported. The course w.ts from
west to east. It was heard thirty minutes be
fore it made its appearance. This was in the
afternoon. It passed along the suburbs of the
city, travelling a little north of east. The cloud
resembled an hour-glass in shape, was vertical
in position, and as luminous as blazing fire. In
fact, it so closely resembled fire that all the
alarm bells in the city were rung and the peo
ple turned out, thinking there was a lire.
The most distant point west we have seen is
the place of Mr. Brown, a large planter. Even
house and fence panel is gone. two negroes
killed outright and one blown entirely away.
Mr. Brown and six or seven negroes were badly
hurt It is doubtful whether Mr. Brown re
covers. The next place was 3fr. Charles liar
per’s plantation. There it was terrific beyond
description—every house gone except the gin
house. Two negroes were killed and five badly
wounded—one must die. Corn, fodder, wag
ons, plows, and in fact everything scattered.
Chickens were killed and picked of every feath- ;
er. Hundreds of acres of forests wen? laid low
killing squirrels, birds and other game. The
next place, Mr. Jaa Martin’s, looks as if the
storm king halted for a while to spend his
energy. Nothing is left Mr. Martin, not even
oats seeded last fall. One negro was killed
there and several wounded. Pieces of timber
were hurled a mile and buried in the ground
three or four feet. Passing eastward, it swept
through the plantations of Judge Iverson Har
ris, Capt. Williams and Wm. Harper, thence
passing the hamlet of Midway, taking the roof
off of Judge Tucker’s house, and destroying en
tirely the houses of Mr. Ed. Lane, .Mrs. Wm.
Lane, and a dozen smaller ones in the same
neighborhood. A negro child was killed in
that vicinity and one or two wounded. Pass
ing along the west bank of Fishing creek it
struck 3lr. Thomas Johnson's place, killing his
wife and injuring him. Across the road, Dick
Goss, a colored man, had his taken off, and
others were badly hurt. It lifted a wagon and
horses, belonging to Col. Johnson, of Kentucky
out of the road, injuring the driver and horses.
Nothing was left of the wagon but one wheel
Thence it whirled along Fishing creek into Col.
Fair’s place. Houses and fences all gone. It
then sped across Oconee river, the crossing of
which is said to have been grand, lifting the
water over one hundred feet in the air. After
crossing the river it passed through Capt Jack
Jones’ place into the McComb estate, there de
stroying anew gin house, negro quarters, and
in fact everything except the dwelling, and it
is injured badly. Beyond McComb’s we hear
of one or two killed and several wounded.
HANCOCK COUNTY.
There were sixteen houses on Mr. Massey’s
place, and of them all there is not one piece of
timber left upon another. His residence was
built of hewn logs, weatherboared on the out
side and ceiled on the inside. Some of these
logs were blown to a distance of a mile and a
half, and shingles from the roof were blow to
the distance of several miles.
When he saw the storm coming Mr. Massey
made a frantic effort to save his wife and child.
He ran into the house and seizing them at
tempted to get out of doors; but before he
reached the door the walls were crushed in
He thrust them toward the door and was him
self caught in the timbers. When the storm
had passed he discovered his wife lying near
him with her brain crushed out. His child, an
only one, about two years old, he found in the
; garden, with a fearful hole torn in its side. It
was dead. Miss Sallie Berry had been blown
into the top of a pine tree, which had fallen near
by. Her legs were broken in seven places and
she was otherwise awfully mangled. She lived
four hours. A negro man on the place ran to
the nearest house for help, and when neighbors
arrived they found Mr. Massey, who was badly
hurt, sitting beside liis dead wife, with his dead
'child in his arms and the dying girl lying near
him. No words can describe the horror of the
spectacle. A negro xvoman, on this place, had
her knee broken and her right arm is so badly
hurt that amputation will be necessary.
A field in which the wheat was six inches
high, and a broom-sedge field, were cleaued as
bare as if they had beep burned and thp ashes
swept off. A covey of partridges was found
dead near the house, two dead rabbits were
found dead in the yard, and all the chickens, rats
and cats on the place were also killed. The
skirts of Mr. Massey’s coat were blown off, and
his shoes and socks were blown from his feet
and have uot yet been found. The injuries to
liis person are very severe. A considerable
amount of money which he had in the house
was blown away, so was all his silver, m fact
everything even down to his clothing. He had
to borrow clothing from liia neighbors. A com
mon butt binge was buried to the joint in a tree,
and stilt remains firmly fixed there. Small
rocks were blown with such violence that they
were Imbedded in trees and’are still to be seen
there
The places of Mr. Thomas Little and Mr.
Carpenter w r ere sadly torn to pieces, and a num
ber of negroes wounded.
To Mr. J. M. Edwards, Supervisor of the Ma
con & Augusta road, we are indebted for all
the particulars which follow:

were blown down.
Til© Overcrowded Citle*.
There is hardly a city in the United States
which does not contain more people than can
get a fair, honest living, by labor or trade, in
the best times. When times of business de
pression come, like those through which we
have passed, and are passing, there is a large
class that must be helped, to keep them from
cruel suffering. Still the cities grow, while
whole regions of the country, —especially its
older portions,—are depopulated year by year.
Yet the fact is patent to-day that the only pros
perous class is the agricultural We have now
the anomaly of thrifty farmers and starving
tradesmen. The agricultural classes of the
West are prosperous. The}’ had a good crop
last year, and have received good prices for all
their products; and while the cities are in
trouble, and manufactories are running on half
time, or not running at all, the western farmer
has money in his pocket, and a ready market
for everything he has to sell. The country
must be fed and he feeds it. The city family
may do without new clothes, and a thousand
luxurious appliances, but it must have bread
and meat. There is nothing that can prevent
the steady prosperity of the American farmer
but the combinations and “ corners” of middle
men, that force unnatural conditions upon the
finances and markets of the country.
This is not the first occasion we have had for
allusion to this subject, and it is not likely to
be the last. The forsaking of the farm for city
life is one of the great evils of the time, and, so
far, has received no appreciable check. Every
young man, apparently, who thinks lie can get
a living in the city, or ar the minor centers of
population, quits his lonely home upon the farm
and joins the multitude. Once in the city, lie
never returns. Notwithstanding the confine
ment and the straightened conditions of his nexy
life, he clings to it until lie dies, adding his
family to the permanent population of his new
home. Mr. Greeley, in Ids days of active phi
lanthropy, used to urge men to leave the city
—to go West—to join the agricultural popula
tion, and thus make themselves sure of a com
petent livlihood. He might as well have talked
to the wind. A city population can neither be
coaxed nor driven into agricultural pursuits. It
js not that they are afraid of work. The aver
age xyoi-ker of the city tolls more hours than
the average farmer in any quarter of the coun
try. He is neither fed nor lodged as well as the
farmer. He is less independent than the far
mer, Ife je a bond-slave to liis employers and
his conditions; yet the agricultural fife has no
charms for him,
WJjatever the reason for this may be, it is not
based in the nature of the work, or in its ma
terial rewards. The farmer is demonstrably
better off than the worker of the city. He is
more independent, has more command of his
own time, fares better at table, lodges better,
and gets a better return for his labor. What is
the reason, then, that the farmer's boy runs to
the city the first chance he can get, and remains
if he can possibly find there thc means of life ?
It can only be found, we believe, in the so
cial leanness, or social starvation, of American
agricultural life. The American farmer, inal
his planning, and all his building, has neverl
made provision for life, He has only consid
ered the means of getting a living. Everything
outside of this —everything relating to society
and culture —has been steadily ignored. He
gives his children the advantages of schools,
not recognizing the fact that these very advan
tages call into life anew set of social wants. A
bright, well-educated family, in a lonely farm
house, Is very different material from a family
brought up in Ignorance. An American far

and they find no opportunities for tin.
faction, they will be ready, on reaching the*
majority, to fly the farm and seek the city.
If the American fanner wishes to keep his
children near him, he must learn the difference
between living and getting a living; and we
mistake him and his grade of culture altogether
if he does not stop over this statement and won
der what we mean by it. To get a living, to
make money, to become “ forehanded”—this is
the whole of life to agricultural multitudes,
discouraging in their numbers to contemplate.
To them there is no difference between living
and getting a living. Their whole life consists
in getting a living; and when their families
come back to them from their schooling, and
finds that, really, this is the only pursuit that
has any recognition under the paternal roof,
they must go away. The boys push to the
centers or the cities, and the girls follow them,
if they can. A vounir man or a young woman
raised to thc point where they apprehend the
difference between living and getting a living,
can never be satisfied with the latter alone.
Either the farmer’s children must be kept ig
norant, or provision must be made for their so
cial wants. Brains and hearts need food and
clothing as well as bodies; and those who have
learned to recognize brains and heart as the
best and most important part of their personal
possessions, will go where they find the minis-
try they need.
What is thc remedy? How shall farmers
manage to keep their children near them ? How
can we diacourage the influx of unnecessary—
na " burdensome —populations into the cities?

DRIFTING.
BY THOMAS BUCHANAN READ.
My roul to-day is far away
Sailing the Vesuvian bay;
My winged boat, like a bird afloat,
Swims round the purple peaks remote.
Round purple peaks it sails, ami seeks
Blue inlets and tlieir crystal creeks,
Where high rocks throw, through deeps below,
A duplicate golden glow.
Far, vague and dim the raonntains swim ;
While on Vesuvius' misty brim,
With outstretched hands, the grey smoke stands
O’erlooking the volcanic lands.
Here Ischia smiles o’er liquid miles;
And yonder, bluest- of the isles.
Cal in Capri waits, her sapphire gates
Beguiling to her bright estate.
I heed not if my rippling skiff
Float slow or swift from cliff to cliff;
With dreamful eyes my spirit lies
Under the wall oi Paradise.
Under tiie walls where swells and falls
The bay’s deep breast at intervals,
At peace I lie, blown softly by
A cloud upon this liquid sky.
The day, so mild, is Heaven’s own child,
With earth and ocean reconciled;
The airs I feel around me steal
Are murmuring to the murmuring keel.
Over the rail my hand I trail
Within tiie shadow of the sail,
A joy intense—the cooling sense
Glides down my drowsy insolence.
With dreaming eyes my spirit lies
Where summer sings and never dies;
O’erveiled with vines, she glows and shines
Among her future oils and wines.
Her children, hid the cliffs amid,
Are gamboling with the gamboling kid;
Or down the walls with tipsy calls,
Laugh on the rocks like waterfalls,
The fisher’s child, with tresses wild,
Unto the smooth, bright sand beguiled,
With glowing lips, sing 9 as she skips,
Or gazes at the far-off ships.
Yon deep bark goes where traffic blows,
From lands of suns to lands of snows;
This happier one, its course Is run
From lands of snow to lands of sun.
O, happy ship, to rise and dip
With the blue crystal at your lip;
O happy crew, niv heart with you
Sails, and sails, and sighs anew !
No more, no more, the worldly shore
Upbraids me with its loud uproar 1
With dreamful eyes my spirit lies
Under the walls of Paradise!
Fetter l’rom Hon. Jefferson Davis.
Ex-Postmaster General Cresswell having as
serted in his eulogy of Henry Winter Davis
that Jefferson Davis, the leader of the Confed
erate States, said in a speech at Stevenson, Ala
bama, in February, 1801. “We will carry the
war where it is easy to advance, where food for
the sword and torch awaits our armies,” Mr.
Davis has addressed a letter to Wm. F. Perry,
of St. Mary’s county, containing a positive de
nial of the same. The correspondence is pub
lished in the St. Mary’s Beacon. Mr. Davis
I says:
“I have no recollection of ever having made
a speech at Stevenson, and have examined a file
of newspapers of that day, containing such mat
ter, but could not find any referenpe of a speech
made by me at Stevenson. At thetime mentioned
I was going from my home in Mississippi to
Montgomery, Alabama, in consequence of no
tice that I had been chosen as the President of
the Provisional Government of the Confederate
States. At many railroad stations on the route
the people assembled to manifest their good will,
and I often went out on the platform to make
due acknowledgements. Stevenson was one of
those stations, and I may there, as at other
places, have returned thanks; but neither there
or elsewhere, neither then or at any other time,
could J have used the language that could he
fairly construed to have such meaning. Though
I may not claim to remember what I said on
those occasions, I do know what were my
thoughts and wishes, and therefore can be posi
tive as to not having said what I never thought
or comtemplated, Very soon, Bay on the second
day after my arrival at Montgomery, the inau
guration took place, and the address on that oc
casion will show what were my hopes and pur
poses surely more fully and more accurately
than the speeches made at railroad stations,
even if they could have been supposed to be
correctly reported. Jf, as I apprehended, the
attempt should be made to coerce the seceding
States, war should ensue, I certainly did prefer
the offensive-defensive policy, and in that event
hoped it might be possible to have the cam
paigns and battle fields in tlie enemy’s country.
When our army marched into Pennsylvania It
*> riot to pillage, to burn and to slaughter, but
“ .„rayd the vast hosts which, after propor
to Ly. -"tion9 had Invaded Virginia to
tionate prep„. * -"‘ion of their own
countermarch for the prou*. . ’
territory. The means employed were those u.
adapted to the end—the defense of our country
against invasion. The conduct of our armies
on various occasions, when beyond the limits
of their friends, demonstrated the views of their
government, and challenges comparison with
that of their adversary. The purpose of the
Confederate Government was truly the welfare
of our people, not the injury of any other ex
cept as necessary to defense. In that spirit was
the repeated declaration to be found in my mes
sage to the Congress that we only -asked to be
let alone. That expression might have been
forgotten if it had not been for the jeering, scof
fing manner in which it was presented to the !
public by the journalists of those who were !
waging against us a war of invasion ”
The Use of Salt for Stock.—While a cer
tain amount of salt is absolutely necessary for
the health of stock, it by no means follows'tliat
its indiscriminate use is either needful or safe
On the contrary, salt used in excessive quanti
ties is highly dangerous. It then acts upon the
stomach and intestines as an irritant poison, ->nd
cases of death have occurred through permitting
cattle and hogs to consume too much of it
When stock are allowed a free access to it they
will take a small quantity very often, but if de
nied a frequent supply they become raveno<i§*
for it, and are in danger of'eating it to excess/
The safest way is to use a small quantity regu
lar in the food; a quarter of an ounce daily
being amply sufficient for a hog or a sheep. H
stock are salted once a week, no more than one
ounce at a time should be given to a cow, and
a quarter of an ounce to a sheep or a bog. It
should also lie given in such a manner no
one animal should eat more than its share. It
may be given scattered thinly in the feeding
though with more safety than in any other way
excepting when it is mixed with the feed. Reg
ularity in its use is the most conducive to the
health of the cattle. We find it necessary to
give this caution because some of our .raiders
have been lead to suppose, Tery erroneously'
that as salt is a good thing, stock cannot hare
too much of it
