Gove waa stated at 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. When daylight came tho sight which met tho eye w.ib anpaliin-. The wo'k of dc- atraoJoti h.A complete. The Cyclone, which fa described by Mr. B-Own (win s-.w it) as beiog of the shape of a mammoth hoar glass, seemed to have skimmed along on the top* of the tall pice tree*, biting 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 clock, with ita hands pointing to a few minutes after oight was fonnd a great dis tance from tlie lionse/ Three hundred dollars in money hna not been received, neither has a gold watch and chnin belong ing to Mrs, Gove. Every dish and plate wus broken. In fact everything but the floor of tbe house, and the brick which composed tho chitunov was blown away. 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 wa* cleaned of over} leaf, bud, bloom or fruit. The trees were stripped of every possible tint i f green, the bark peeled off and every treo leaning forward as if bow ing their heads in eharne for their naked- UCt&Sa ' 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 ont of the honse, and all threo re ceived bruises. Mrs. Stone, and a i young woman who was with her, were ! taken up bodily aud carried five hundred yards into the field Tha yonnj woman i was bung in a tree, but Mrs. Stone was ' dropped on the ground. Both were bruised, ' but no bones broken. Two yonnger chil- i dren were found nndcr the timbers near the hooae, but beyond a few scratches were * unhurt.

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 whs there a time when aid was more need ed. Imagine that every ti>icg yon owned on earth, eventoyonr clothing, was &wept away, no roof under whiclt ro .'ay yonr head, every means of support gone, and irretrievably gone, and you have but a faint description of tbe condition of tbe people whose onco peaceful, prosperous homes lay in the track of this monster of air. 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 occurred on a school d*y, red wh'le th? school wa* in session, the io=s of life would probably have been fearful. It h-ippeneJ, Imever, daring the night of Saturday, the 22d .last., and though terri bly destructive to property, wo are gfad to bo able to say there ha* been no injury to life or parson in the neighborhood. Rutland. Bukxa Vista, April 21.—Your reporter loins that the damage done by the storm on Saturday night was_ very groat. Crops v/cro considerably injured, many farm* wero badly washoJ, and tho forests wero considerably torn nn by tbe wind. Mrs. Nutt, a widow lady who lives two miles from this place, had hor cotton screw and gin house struck by lightning. Tho screw was ruined, part of tho metal at tho top being melted by the fierce host. Your correspondent is informed that the giu- liouso was knocked ail to pieces. K. O. L Social Circle, April 24.—A considerable storm of wind, rain and hnil passed over this section Saturday evening. Hailstones as largo as hen eggs fell rome four mile3 north of hero. Borne were t icked up and brought to town, aud though brought four miles were still good sized hsilstoi es; and a few miles west of here hail was reported to be Ijung ia the fence corners by the bushel. O. Buena Vista, Ga , April 24.—On last Sat urday night this town was visited by a tre mendous Rtorm of wind, rain and hail. The wind blew with groat force, up-rooting trees, breaking off limbs nnd knocking down fences. Immens t quantities of rain nnd bail fo’l. For two hours tbo tnoet fearful lightning and thundor accompanied the rain and bail. There was Ecareely a second’s intermission between the flashes of lightning. Outside, it looked as if tha world was on fire. Much damage wa* dene, in the county, to fences. Oa Mr. John R. Raskin’s plnee, a thousand panels fell in front of th* wind. Your reporter hru not learned the dam age tone to tho growing orojs. The people of this town wish never to be visited again by such a storm. The Superior Court for this county con venes hero to-morrow. Judge J. T. Willis will preiido. Ever since tho killing of young Round- tree nt Athens, a difficulty has been brew 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. Things have come to a pretty pass in Georgia. Your reporter will keep yoa informed of tho proceedings of the court. K. C. L Action of Board ot Education Too death ot Col. J. Vi.

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. I met Capt. Raoul at the Continental Hotel this morning. He fa fitting up en gine* and passenger cars for the new ser 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.

He told mo to sell it for 112. but to get rid oflHtt as low a price as 187.

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.” He Had yaitb Among Doubters.
