In October last, a copy of Derry’s Histo
ry of the United States, written by Prof.
J. T. Derry, professor of languages in
Wesleyan Female College, wasaentto Mr.
James S. Masm, editor Southern Reveille,
Port Gibson, Mi«s. Pleased with the work
bimaolf, he plscod it in the hands of tho
faculty of Chamberlain Hunt Academy,
Of Port Gibson, most of th3m graduates of
tha Virginia University, and ripe scholars,
and asked them to tako thair own time in
examining tho history.
Captain Thomas L. Norwood, after a
most thorough examination, voluntarily
wrote tho following, and handed it to Mr.
“Havingcarefully examined Derry’s His
tory of the United States, by Prof. J. T.
Derry, of Maeou, Ga., I earnestly recom
mend it as a text book for our schools.
It fa correct r.s to facte, unimpeachable ns
to style, elegant in print and binding. Tho
questions are full, woll selected, and cor
respond with tho text- The topical reviews
constitute a most exoelfant feature. I like
it better than any history of tho United
States that I have seen.
“Tnos. L. Norwood,
“Instructor ia Modern Languages, Cham-
■beriain Hunt Academy, Port Gibson,
Miss.”
In connection with the publication of the
abovo flattering indorsement appeared tho
comments of the editor of the Reveille,
which were as follows:
“Ihis opinion of Professor Norwood fa
given after a thorough examination of tho
book, and we are glad to get, from a source
so capable, an indorsement of what wo
hard needed—r reliable, imparUal and just
compilation of tho general history of tho
United States, from a Southern pen. Wo
trust our educators will not neglect this
book. It should bo in rverv school, and it
W'U be when its merits are known.”
It gives ns pleasure to note these evi-
d-ncesof the excellence of Prof. Derry’s
work. Tho bistory is tbe result ot much
labor and research, and that it should
prove so groat a success fa no more than
simple justice to Uic talented Southern

the’ organ playing. As the howling
of the wind beganto increase, he
gotup, remarking that the front door had
best be shut, he was waa followed by Mrs.
Gove, and an he attempted io close the
door, something struck him in the face
and knocked him unconscious. Sometime
afterward, of coarse the exact time cm
never be known, Ids consciousness re
turned, and ho found ldmself covered with
brick*, witli ihe ruin beating into his face.
He felt bruised and was struggling from
pain in his tegs and face, hut his
first thoughts were for bis wife. Ho saw
by tbe flashes of lightning that hfa honse
wasdestroyeVnnd then he attempted to
•fttriaate himself from the bricks and tim
bers. When the. lightning would flash he
looked for his wife, tiud finally saw her u
few tect away from him apparently dei.i.
He crawled to where she was, over the piles
of timbers, and aa he reached her the rain,
which was pouring down in torrents, re
vived her.
With much difficulty he succeeded in
gelt.ng her out of the pile* of debris in
which she wrb buried, and in bis arms car
ried her a few steps to what seemed to be a
cleared place .nndor the flooring. This
place was simply a pile of bricks, and
there with scanty clothing she fay suffering
from a number of bruises, until Mr. Gove
oonld crawl o<er tho bricks and timbers,
and find something to protect her from
the rain. He succeeded in finding n door,
winch he put over her, the end resting on
the edge of the floor, forming a sort of
roof. She complained of cold, and he
made another search in the inky darkness
and j-ain, and succeeded iu getting r piece
of carpet, and thou when she was cared for
as well ns possible under the circum
stances, ho heard the groans of bis father,
Mr. Sam Gove, who slept in the barn,
which was abont twenty steps distant.
The groans came to him on the howling
wind, and he alruggled to get to him. By
this time, a colored woman, who lived iu
the house at the foot of the hill, came np
with her baby for shelter, bnt seeing that
nothing but the sky formed a roof for any
of the buildings, ahe made her way to Mr.
Herbert Browo. who lives a few hundred
yards distant. Mr. Brown had just saved
nis house from dettruclion by fire. The
the top of the chimney of hie kitchen had
blown down, and tho root taking fire,
scattered tbo dame ever tbe yard. He ran
out. and with buckets of water put out tho
fire.
He hM^ntd to obey tbe summons to go
over to Gove’s place, and placing a lantern
in a bucket, crawled, rather tlisn walked
over to Gove’a hill. The night was intense
ly dark, tho wind and the rain beat into
his face, and he was nearly half an hour
going that few hundred yards. When he
reached tbe hill, he found Mr. Jerry Gove
C ng the timber away from hfa father.
old gentleman had received a severe
blow on the bead, which fractured
the skull. Mr. Govo told his
son that his time had come,
and in a few minute i breathed hfa
last. He lived perimp* about nn hour of ler
receiving tho blow. He was oighty-tliree
years old.
Mr. Brown, aided by some neg.oes who
came np, placed Mts. Gove oa a door and
took bar to his honse, where Mrs. Brown
gave her every attentic*;. Sho was badly
bruised, but the physician s: js no bones
are broken.

which fa described by Mr. B-Own (win s-.w
it) as beiog of the shape of a mammoth

the top* off, leaving nothing but ba. o poles
instead. When it struck tho hill,
on which Mr. Gove’s house was
situated. tho hour glass forme I
into one tremendous sucking vortex,
and pulled up everything it touched. Tho
roof of the d veiling was taken up and
carried a distance of a mile and a half and
dumped into the head of Paul’s mill-pond.
Tho roof of the barn was taken off. but ita
direction wa* iu a diflerent line. The aides
and onds of tho houses were twisted off
and scattered everywhere, some of the
timbers carried miles and miles away.
Not one post wa* standing, simply the
flooring was left, and even that had been
deprived of tbe pillars.
Tho organ was lifted up pnd carried a
considerable distance. No furniture was
left on the place except tho fragments of a
spring mattress, the beJstead having boen
lost. The sewing machine was torn apart
and the pieces scattered. Tho books, of
which thero was quite a numbor, were
strewn nil over tho field. Tbe old family

minutes after oight was fonnd a great dis

dollars in money hna not been received,

wus broken. In fact everything but the

Thoro woro six trunks in tho house iu which
tbo clothes of the family were stored, and
now thero ia not a vestige of tlie clothes or
of the trunks to be found, though the
woods far and neir hnvo bson thoroughly
searched
In the barn was stored n large quantity
of corn, fodder, and many other things.
These were all swept away, nnd only
tho floor left. Adjoining this was a
log honse used as a stable, and next to it n
shed in which were sheltered a buggy and
wagon. The wagon was not moved ont of
ita position, but the buggy was turned up-
lido down nnd one wheel annpped off, and
yot tho wind did not move the vehiclo more
than n few feet from its former position.
The horse that was in the stable managed
m some way to gjt ont and was tha* saved
death from the falling timbers. In the
chicken honse in tho roar of the stable
there wore several lion* setting. A piece
of timber fe 1 with such tores on oue of
these hens that she was cut exavtly in half.
Many chickens nnd turkeys wero taken up
by the wind and dropped in the woods a
quarter of a mile away.
In the yard adjoining tho honse was a
pretty garden filled with every kind of veg
etable, growing finely. Tho cyclono swept
over tins garden and cut off the vegetables
as clean ns if a lawn mower hud boon care
fully roiled over it, leaving no trash but
the short stub* of onion*, cabbages, etc.
Tho orchard in wh'ch waa some of the
choice it fruit in this scotion of country

Mr. Gove lost everything ho had in tho
world except ono or two chickens and two
faithful dogs. Not even tbe clothes which
he had on yesterday belonged to him. Ufa
hat and coat wore off when the storm
came, and were swopt away. The fruit
trees which brought him a small revenue
will hardly bear uny more fruit. His lit
tle hoard or money is gone, and all this
terrible desolation wis the work of only a
minute and a half.
Fussing over the Gove place, tho cyclono
struck tho log hon*e of Mr. Henry Stone, n
stone’s throw to tl*e left. The roof of thi*
] house was nl*o taken off, and iu half a
minute nothing bnt the noor wai left.
Mr. Stone and nis two sons were thrown

young woman who was with her, were !

fine grape arbor wa3 destroyed.
Hfa stable did not escape, and
a valuable horse was so scratched and
cut by the flying timbers that sho will
never be tit for anything. The colt was
buried under tbe fodder and timbers, and
crippled. A great deal of Mr. Brown’s
fencing wn* blown away. Ufa loss fa put
down at $i,ha). and yet ear reporter found
him yieterday in the best of spirits, fixing
up to repair the damage and taking things
easy. He rendered valnab’o assistance to
his neighbors in their distress.
' At Mr. Brown’s house, our reporter saw
1 Mrs. Gove, who waa confined to tbo bed
and unable to move. Dr. (hl.won ::o
bones are broken, and it fa probablo sho
will recover.
The storm pa<aed to the right of Grfa-
woldville, though not before it had paid ita
respects to the places of Col. E. C. Grier
and Mr. Van Baron. Tbo trees on tho for
mer’s place we e split in half nnd torn up.
yet they did not hurt the hor.-s'. Colonel
Grier’s escape from serious damage fa mi
raculous. On Van Baron’s place trees and
f enc-s aero blown down, bnt the house waa
unhurt.
Mr. Reynold’*rlace|was then visited. Hfa
barn was blown down and two fino moles
killed. Taking a turn here, the cyclono
struck tbe houses of Mr. Sam Gee, Charles
Lyle andothsrs iu tbe neighborhood. At
Sum Gee’s Mr. Peacock and two children
were bnried under tha falling timbers, Sho
received a gash in her hand a bad out on
the hip. Tbe baby was unhurt, but tbo
little girl was cut on the hand.
This taxily waa net blown away,
as was reported. Mr. Peacock, who
works in Maoon, went to the train oa Sun
day morning expecting to meet them. In
stead he received a note saying they hod
been blown away and no trace of them
could be found. Nearly frantic with grief,
he procured a conveyance and rode out
Sunday. He found, to hfa great joy, that
though hurt, they were alive.
At Charles Lyle’s residence a sad scene
occurred. The house was blown down nnd
Miss Lockhart was kilted outright. Mrs.
Lyle wa* badly injured, but though suffer
ing excrutfating pain she searched for her
child. It was found after a long search
with n stick of timber lying across ita
throat and barely alive. The timber was
prized np and the mother, weak and faint
with pain and cold, pulled the little babe
out.
Here definite information ceased. Re
port says the cyclone swept onward into
Irwin aa 1 Wilkinson countie j, but none of
the reports say that any other lives were
lost ia this line of the cycloce’s march. We
hear that in Jones county the house of Mr.
Pleas Byrd was blown away and several
other houses. Our correspondents will no
doubt send in full particulars by to-day.
So pen can desoribo the s:ene witnessed
by onr reporter yesterday. Could it be
truthfully photographed but few would be
lieve the picture, ro gnat was the destruc
tion nnd so eocentric wa3 it ia ita action.
The largest tree was bnt a pipe stem,
and the strongest building waa as so much
clay in the hands of the potter.
It fa the theory of Mr. Brown that there
were two cyclones, and thnt tney met after
leaving the Watts place, one on top of the
other, forming the shape of an hour glass,
tho lower one being tho largest. The noise
made byit ia described as being like that
which wou'd proceed from five hundred coal
horning engine*, first a low rumble and
than gradually increis’ng in volume until
the roar was dreadful.
Wo hope our citizens will respond atont-e
to tho call tor aid from these sufferers.
No man could look upon the scene withont
Bonding his hand into hi* pocket. Never

RurLAND, April 24.—The writer hss just
returned from the scene ot one of the most
destructive tornadoes that has occurred in
this district in many years. Batdi* church
and Suvdfa academy are both completely
demolished, and many of the oak trees are
blown d >wn in tho yard nd ground* of
each. The roads aro blocked up with tim
ber, fences blown down, several negro
houses have suffered a like fate, and the
new gin-house of Capt. Thad. Holt, in
S rocess of building, scattered in every
irection. Mr. James Fielder estimates
hfa damage in loss of timber, buildings,
injury to crop, etc, at not less than $500.
Mr. E. Ca'boun, Mr. Marion Barfield,
perhaps Mr. Geo. Barfield, and iudeod
many other* have suffered great injury.
Fortunately no livos were lost. Had it

Ever since tho killing of young Round-

ing between the young “buok”negroes and
tho young white men of this place. Tbe
Whold matter has been provoked by tbe De
grees. They seem especially anxious to
vent their spleen upon the cadets of the
high school. Yesterday morning a negro
provoked n difficulty with one of the ca
dets, but was promptly sent about bfa bus
iness. Tbi* difficulty was provoked by tho
negro in the most wanton and insulting
manner, without the shadow of a cause.

extent. East Tonnessee, whioh was passed
through in tho night, fa reported aa having
the beat prospect for years. When day
light returned, wo were in south west Vir
ginia, and here ths ohoerfu! outlook was the
sama as in Georgia, though tbo crops of
course are not so well advanced. In ad
dition to the fine crops of small grain and
grasses that are so apparent through this
section, the cattle that “feed upon
a thousand hills” give r promise ia
season of fat and tender beef . to
take tho place of tha misorable,
gummy stuff that our pcoplo have been
forced to eat daring tho past wirter.
Through this same section last summer
the drouth was fearful. The earth wa* dry
as powder, and the heavons w ro seeming
ly made of brass. Vegetation died, and in
August, when tbe stubble lands should
have been green, in many instances the
dead grans took fire from epark3 from
passing locomotives, and thousands of
acres wero burned over. The effects of
this drouth, which covered whole States,
and waa not unknown to largo sectiouaof
every State east of tho Rocky mountains,
has produced depressing effects upon the
trade of the whole country. To this many
of the most astute business men attribute
the partial suspension of many industrial
establishments, and the generally unprofit-
able trade that has marked this year so
far. And why should the ef
fect Imve boen otherwise ? The
agricultural interest in the large arena of
territory where crops partially or wholly
failed, realized at best but small returns
for labor, and hence the purchasing power
of this close waa reduced to a low point,
and generally they have been taxed to tbe
utmost to supply the deficits in products
they should havo made and deprived of sta
ples with which to raise money. Fow peo
ple take thi time to calculate tho damage
to all classes of oar people that always
comes from the destruction of any given
interest, or tho weakening of any branch
of essential industry. Tbe prosentoutlook
is hopeful of better results this year, and
it fa certain that wo have reason to fear tho
repetition of last year’s crop failures.

vice between Atlanta nnd Ssvannoh, of
which mention waa made in the Tels-
gsafh Inst week. Ho proposes to put on
trains between the points named, which
will be run at high speed, stopping Lt the
principal towns along the route. Tho trip
will be made in nine hour*. The benefi
cial effects to all pointa along tho Central
cannot be overestimated. Let ns hope
that the public will show their ap
preciation of this marked advance
m speed of passenger trains,
by patronizing this schedule liber
ally. If the proper steps aro taken by the
people of Montgomery, Eufaula, Albany,
Columbus and Macon, and proper memo-
i iala and petitions aro presented to .tho
various railroad managers, tho schedules
of all the roads in which these points are
interested can bo quickunod. No one move
that coaid be made in Georgia at present
wonld accomplish so much for the profit,
'improvement and pleasure of tho people
as the ndoptton of modern speed on all our
passenger trains. It would give snap aud
buoyancy to travrl and trade, and the en
larged nnd intensified attrition so apparent
in tha New England and Middle States,
would measurably develop in Georgia.
Lite fa too short for any man of affair* to
visit the cities I have named oftener than
once in five years. Will not the people of
Ma<fwi jfo to work on this matter and see
what 'can bo done? By oil means they
should exhaust evory effort to get a sched
ule to New York via Augusta, requiring not
over thirty-six hours at the outside for the
trip.
Capt. Raoul also informs me that bo has
received a memorial from a committee
appointed by one of onr colored confer
ences, in reference to the regulations of
railroads that require the colored popple
to ri lo in cars separate from the whites.
Ihero fa evidently a pro oncer ted move-
miQt on this line, and it will involve em
barrassment to the railrorda unless it is
handled with discretion and courage. Tbe
Federal courts have rendered various de
cisions that establish atl the aonditione
that c*n be imposed upon the railroads—
tbe furnishing of equal accommodations—
nnd after this they lay down the principle
that they have a right to separate the races
while on passenger trains.
This fa an outcropping of tho evil coun
sels that are prevailing in the South for
political effect. It is nn attempt to en
force social equality. The groat majority
of the colored raoe do not desire it, and
any man who hopes to see it sucoeed has
paid but little attention to the history of
the African and Anglo-Saxon races, or else
he would reoognize conditions planted by
nature that con and will forever render
impossible this crime against both tho
jyhjte and colored people.

“Oh, yes.. I was a sort of boy of his, n kind
of juvenile pet. One day he asked inc tugoto-
Delmonlco's and hare dinner with him. imd
his dinner consisted of aa order for one. There
being two mutton chops, ho took ono and I tho
other. That was tho way he ale when he had
to pav his own food bill, living on the ;ioor
stutf and setting up colossal jobs. IIo then
wanted me to sell him one thousand shares of
Erie. It was at the time that there was a great
contest for the Erie property. He told mo to
sell it for 112. but to get rid oflHtt as low a price
as 187. The old man repudiated the contract,
threw me on the brokets, and finally managed
by squatting and begging to get rid of bis stock
at over ’210. On another occasion, yeArs after
ward. 1 had learned a point on Lake .Shore, and
went into his offlee and asked him to buy mo a
thousand shores. He looked at mo a minute
and gave the order. I gave away tho point and
they began to buy all around the street, and tho
first tiling we knew, that stock gave way, and
I was out*7,S00. I found r*— *
set the trap fnMia.all. and I said to him, 'Mr.
that old Drew had:
^ w I said to hit
Drew, you oughtn't to havo done that
£3
tows, and X will make it up to you.’ HoH
made up one cent to me. lie had not the least
conscience. After ho had failed he would sit |
by me in tho St. James Hotel, with hfa eyes all
fall of tear*, saying: ‘Ouxsle. I ought to have
made you rich; I wronged you. Gussied lie-
spent hfa whole life scheming to get rich,
cheating hfa body of good victuals. Kclleton
was hfa recreation. After one of blsbtg ralcea,
when he had carried combustion and death to
b, he would softly raunnur over, 'Glory-
people, he would softly n
better than Panic!
Dfew ?*•
"Not a bit better. Drew was afraid of Van
derbilt. aud rattier looked up to him. Vander
bilt rather liked Drew because ho would toady.
Ono day Vanderbilt waa looking ont of the
front window of an offioe on Wall street, and
ho said to Drew: ‘Do you see that youn g man.
by that lamp-post across the street r ’Yea,
Commodore, who be’aher *Thatfa my eon,-
Cornelius.’ said Vanderbilt: 'now. Ur. Drew,
if jrou will take him down to tho Brttory and
tie a ropo around bis neck and a stone to tho
end of the rope and throw him overboard and
sink him well so that I shall never seo him-
again, I will give you 5.000.* ‘Why, a
dore,* said old Drew, ‘what a man yon
designing to keep hlmaolf there for life, and
Dill used to go to a tavern in the neighborhood
aud play a little game of poker, and had to
mortgage the farm for ?o,0o) to pay his debts.
Ho had several children bom there, and one
flay the mortgage was foreclosed and cxivutioii
was to bo done next dak. A man named Thom-
went to Vanderbilt and said: ‘Your son U to-
be put out to-morrow morning.’ ‘All right,’
said Vanderbilt, thart what I want him to be.’
•Well,’ said tho man. ‘hi* little children will
have nothing to eaL‘ ‘I don’t care anything-
about 1C said Vanderbilt, ‘ho is asuckor. and I
rcpudUlehim.’ ’Well,’ sold tlie man. 'It will
bo public scandal that you have allowed your
grandchildren to starve.’ This rather ufTccted
Vanderbilt, and he said: ‘You go and send my
son here.’ ‘Heisafmldtacome.'saldthcman,
‘you abuse him so when ho docs come to see
you.’ ‘Then you come with him,’ said tho
Commodore. Ho finally paid tho mortgagor
At a later period a gentleman said to Vaudere
blit: . ’Commodore, do you ever think what yoa
arc going todo with your money T You have
kicked out Cornelius, and your son Georco fa
dead, nnd Bill Is tliu only boy you havo left. It
fa no place for him on Staten Island. Bring
him up And give him a chance.’ Tht* was tho
beginning of William Vanderbilt He sent hfa
old wife to tho lunatic asylum because sho fed
her son Cornelius, who, notwithstanding hb
fits, was a man of more ability than Dill. That
boy v-Jkicked out of the house because lio had
and was therefore repulsive to his
'onseqncntly he had to borrow money
to got a living, and that habit once l«cnn,
clung to him. Yar.derbilt waa cruel b>all'hl»
children, and to his wlfo also. The- beginning
of his fortune was hfa wife, who keptan eating-
honse nt New Brunswick, where lie nm a
■steamer and saved every penny, her two daugh
ter* waiting on tho table. One day Vanderbilt
said to her •! believe I conld get rich If I
could get another steamer and roil It myself.
It will cost $30,000.’ Ho did not know how-
much the old woman had. and the hod been
afraid to tell him. She went and drew ont of
the tarings bank tho money she and her girls,
had put there, and let him have lx and there
began hb caro:r. Ho had no gratitude to-her,
and while ahe wa* til ho was vfaitlngw woman
at a clairvoyant’s near by hfa house, with whom
he used to go riding, and tho wife had hardly
been deed when tho other woman’s cOecta, bag
aud baggage, were moved Into the house.”
