BY P. W. D. BOULLY. FRIDAY MORNING. SEPT. 26,1873 The Bccent Tonindo. T%c tornado of last week was very <leatruoUve in the southern counties of deoigta and on the Florida coast. .. — Qq the Central Rond, 7l£ miles from Savannah, a culvert was washed out, and th* down freight from Ma con ran into the wash, causing the death of the engineer, fireman, and a train hand. A similar accident occurred near Prnnchvillc, on tl*e South Carolina Iload, by which five lives were lost. The storm began in Quitman on the evening of the 18th, about dark, nnd increased in fury until the next morning. It lulled about noon, after doing muck damage. Two negro churches were completely destroyed, houses unroofed, aud trees and fences blown down in all directions. AJ. Bainbridge, Cairo, Boston, and other pointy houses were leveled to the grouud, aud cotton ruined by the acre. In TnllnUasaco, Fla., bouses were unroofed, nnd a boy killed. Seven gin-houses were blowu down iu the vicinity. The village of St. Marks, Fla., was almost swept away. Twenty families ore houseless. Mr. Henry Moore, clerk of the steamboat Farley, informs the Co lumbus Sun that Apalachicola, Fla., suffered severely. The Farloy encountered the storm uhput fifty miles this side of Apalach icola,, and suck was the foroo of the wind that the cabin had to be lashed to the lower deck to prevent its being blown off. Where she was the wiud blew the bark from cypress trees as cleanly as if shaved by a knife, and the run foil in torrents. The tide at Apalachicola ran over the wharf and flooded all the Btores Oil Water street, greatly injuring iho stocks. Oyster boats and fishing smacks were capsized, and barges aud steam tugs blown ashore. Several big moccasins wero killed on the wharf, and a groat many fish were washed on shore. Several ne groes caught strings of fine trout. Goe saw-mill was demolished, and two others injured. Four brick warehouse* were badly damaged. A block of seven or eight brick store* w*a fairly demolished. Twenty dwelling* are reported to be blown down. 1 All the orange trees and fences in the place are down, And the streets are full of oranges. : lbs lose is estimated at (150,000 to (500,000. The damage done by iltis storm ' wherever it was felt, will foot up a large sum. The loss in cotton alone Wilj be a serious one. --nag, f — - ■ ■ ■ Sudden Death.— Died, on last Snn ,day morning, at his residence in Mon liesllo, FkL, Mr. Wm. Deuliam, of the well known firm of Denhatu A Palmer. Mr. Denham’s death was without any premonition that the icy monster was so near at hand-being in perfect health the day before. Monticollo has loot a citizen whose place will be hard to &U. * iS& The above, which wo find in the * Thomasr!he Times, conveys to the editor of this paper the intimation of the loss of a cousin whom lie has not teen since (he war. lie was an up right and aneoeasfut business man, and though death came unexpectedly, we have reason to hope that it did not find him unprepared. May ho rest in peaoe! Th* Coununra Pai'kks.—The At lanta Constitution baa the following complimentary notice of the Colum bus papers, and we endorse every word of it: We Jtave long been wanting to say something about our Columbus oo temporaries, mid we cannot defer it farther. There is no city of the same site in the United States, we honestly believe, that can boast two dailies of equal ability, beauty of arrangement, amount of Beading matter, enterprise and spirit. The Constitution iaproud f such Georgia exchanges, and our sentiments will doubtless bo warmly approved by the entire State press. Columbus can well boast of her news papers, aud ought to support them moat liberally. £B7” One of the wealthiest men in Coiambus refuses to advertise because it is so expensive, mid the editor of ..the Enquirer is busily engaged in writ ing his obituary, which he prom ises to print for nothing, some day. Some of our contemporaries are bragging on suits made from eas mmores manufactured by the Eagle & Phcni.x factory at Columbus. We cau’t brag on ours yet, as wc havn’t received it. Matters in Georgia, Dalton has been greatly excited over the discovery vt a swindler sailing under the name of Edwin IT. Scott, who has been swingiqg around Whitfield county for the past four years. Ife left suddenly the other day with $1,500 belonging to some credulous people, and $75 belonging to the Masonic Lodge, of which he was an officer. Scott first appeared on the scene as a common farm la borer, then a school teacher, Baptist preacher, fraud, and now it appears be murdered a man during the war, and his last coup de main was made in consequence of bearing that the brother of bis victim had discovered his whereabouts and was cprning for him. The La Grange Reporter tells of a hen that recently laid three eggs. The first one was without any shell, but otherwise appeared all right. The other two appear to be perfect, but consist of only die shell without any cOutente. Another strange thing about these shells is that they will not remain still except when stand ing on the little end. If they are placed on their sides or on the large end, they immediately whirl over on the little end, and there they rest, They are of the usual size, and weigh each about 4 drains. The West Point News winds up a temperance article by saying: “But let us hope that all may overcome their appetite in this particular, aud never again place the chalco of poison, of degradation, of poverty, to their lips.” This will do very well. But right below this is another ar ticle, calling nttemion to the fact that anew bar-room has been opened, and hoping that the proprietor will “havo a liberal share of public pa tronage.” Au incendiary attempted to burn the town of Thomasville last week. Three fires broke out at the same time, and the street lamps in the vicinity had been removed. Fortu nately, tbo fire was discovered in time to prevent much damage. The city oouucil liavo offered a reward of (600 for the arrest of the guilty party or The Standard tells of a young lady living in Talbot county who has marketed from tlia first day of Mpy to Septembw first, from six cows 31 x pounds of fine butter, besides supply* ing a large family with as much as desired. Two good porkers have been raised aud fattened on the but tcr-inilk, After a short suspension the West Point Nows has renewed its visits to our table, under the mnuagement of Mr. J. L. llollifiold. Tho paper ap pears in anew dress, and is well printed. Wo wish it tho utmost snoooss. A Qoorgia darkey gives the follow ing roason why the colored race is superior to tho white : All men are made of clay, and like the meer schaum pipe, they are more valuable when highly colored. The Baiubriilge Democrat of the 11th reports the death of a negro woman aged 118 years, named Bello Martin. It says that her great age is vouched for by responsible men. Five town lots within five hun dred yards of tho Noroross depot, will bo given to any person who will agree to build a respcotable house thereon within a reasonable time. A little son of Mr. Israel, in Sugar Valley, near Calhoun, died in two hours on Friday Inst from the bite of a rattlesnake. The reptile was sub sequently luffed.

The Thomasville Times comes to us iu mourning for the death of Mrs. I.uoy C. Christian, wife of the senior editor of that paper. The residence of Mrs. Sterling, near La Grange, was destroyed by fire last week. Loss some $2,500, without insurance. The Atlanta Constitution is still running a special engine to Macon. That of the “ oilier paper ” has been discontinued. Twenty-eight deaths in Macon during August. The Thomasville Guards arc reor ganising. Matters in General. The British Post-office Department refuses to enter into any arrangement for the exchange of postal cards with the United States They argue that “the use of cards is not popftGr among the English people; that even the lower classes are oot induced to use them, although they are the cheap est, being jealous of any device by which tiieir correspondence is open to public inspection. The British Post-office, therefore, prefers that the present rates of ocean postage should be maintained, and if postal cards are transmitted, they should be charged the usual letter postage rates.” In a recent suit for injuries re ceived in consequence of a railroad accident, tried iu Massachusetts, the verdicts of three distinct juries in favor of the plaintiff were set aside by the judges on the ground of ex cessive damages. On the first trial the jury awarded four thousand dol lars’ damages; oh the Socobd, over five thousand dollars, and onfAe third nearly seven thousand dollars. The case went to the Supreme Court on exceptions, but they were overruled, and therefore the plaintiff will receive the last-named sum. The Lafayette Clipper says a neigh bor of Mr. W. E. Sliealy, near Wa verly, says that this gentleman will make two bales of cotton to the acre. Our informant says that he saw one stalk that contained 415 bolfe, and another that contained near 300 bolls. The worms, however, are getting troublesome in his cotton, w hich will, perhaps, cut off the yield to a great extent. Jefferson is buried on his old os tate, Monticelio, near Charlottesville. The simple shaft that, covers the grave has been pecked aud chopped by relie-bunters, and grass and weeds arc allowed to grow about it undis turbed. It is noticeable that in the United States in 1870 there were 1,843 deaths by suicide, whilo there were only 202 by lightning; in other words, an individual is six times as likely to kill himself as lightning is to kill him. Mr. William SI mart, aged eighty* three years, living in tho neighbor hood of flarlwood, Stafford county, Vo., obtained license pntl was uni ted in tho bonds of matrimony with Miss Jane Phelps, aged fifty three. Counterfeits of tbo last issue of tho fifty cent stamps are said to be in circulation. The counterfeit is said to be so skilfully executed as to almost defy detection by experts. A locomotive fireman in Syracuse was so frightened at finding his en gine without enough water in the boiler, that he was paralyzed, and died in a few hours afterward. It may make your railroad trip more pleasant to know that one hun dred and fifty persons were killed by tho railroads in the United States during the month of August. Hftyti is getting along much better with an independent Government than any of tho Southern negro States with tho ass'stance of the Gov ernment’s relatives. A Mrs. Clark, at sub scribed four dollars toward building a church, aud not being able to raise tho money, site worked four days at lathing.

General Albert Ames is the Radi cal nominee for Governor of Missis* aippL Charles A. Dana gets SIO,OOO a year for editing the New Turk Sun, A Terrible-Crime. The Thoinasvillc Times chronicles the discovery of a double effme lately committed near that place. Miss Sarah Norris, aged 17, and Miss Ella Ball, aged 13, were found drowned, on the 15th, in the Och loekonee river, some six miles west of town. It seems that Miss Ball was spend ing Sunday with Miss Norris. After dinner they walked to the railroad bridge, and were last seen there by the bridge watchman at 3 o’clock that afternoon. Not returning home that evening, the whole neighborhood was aroused, and the search continued the entire night. Early Monday morning the naked body of Miss Ball was found in the river, and shortly after, near the same spot, that of Mi. Norris. The.cl' liijig'of .Loth the deceased was found on together with their finger siwo.nogs. • A large barefooted track was dis covered leading from, the clothing iut< 'ho river and out again. A post-mortem examination by Dr. R. J. Bruce, brother of our fellow citizen, Dr, W. W. Bruce, revealed the fact that the person of Miss Nor ris had been violated. It is alleged that a black fiend has been heard to make threats of such a character as to point him out as the author of, or accessory in, this great crime. A negro has been arrested on a charge of complicity in the affair, and a warrant is out fbr a white man who is suspected. The Columbus Enquirer says that a firm in that city lately sold (500 worth of goods to a gentleman living near Rome.
