To-tlay Thk Coottrutios completes the etory of the devastation left by the storm which struck across the stato in two lines. The first Intimation the grest bulk of the people had of the terrible visitation was from the columns of Tne Cosstitctiok, which, by the rarest man- egoment, caught the storm upon its flight and kept tiack of It until U was lost In the hills of North Carolina. To-day we present some incidents of the disaster in Georgia. Greater detstl, however, is given of the progreis of the storm In Caro lines. In Alabama 40 persons were killed; in Georgia 200; in South Carolina 80, and In Alabama 80, making a total of 370 lives. The loss to property in the four states most be considerably over *2,000,000.

It is to outline the coarse ot theso cyclones that the abovo map is printed. Of coarse we propose to give only the most general ontlines, that will indicate the coarse of the cyclone, by taking lending points at which they appeared.

Be does not know where it came from, but it must haro been blown a considerable distance. ward, At the foot of the Bed monntain range it caught tho little village ofOxmoor and twisted it severely. It then steered oil from the mountain side, thus giving Birming ham, six mites off, a narrow escape, and catching Leeds Skilled aoveral people. Hav ing veered off from tbe monntain, it wu now rushing northeast. It swept through Am- berson, Ladlga, ran a dozen miles south of Rome, struck Cave Springs, and went south to Cartenvllle. Here It struck the Kennesaw heights, ami its course was deflected to the north, and it went through Cherokee and Pickens into Habersham, and so on oat of the state. The other division of tho cyclone struck Columbus, and went t>> the northeast through the general track troubled by cyclones before. Before reaching Ullledgoville it divided again on thy hills to the southward of that city. One division went northwest through the lower edge of Putnam, striking Haddock???s s .ion, Blount.ville and Humber's. It wont fit Jasper county and there expended Itsolf or went out toward Camak and Columbia county. Tito other division swept south of Utlledgevllle, barely missing Tennllle, and striking Davlsboro. It then turned north ward and left the state through the upper edge of Richmond snd lower Columbia coun ty, where it again canto together, and reunit ing with tho Blue Kidge arm, the whole cyclone swept on through Rockingham, North Carolina and out to the ocean. It must not bo understood that all points between tlioso marked on tbe mop were struck by tho cyclone. It is s peculiarity of cyclones that they bound from the earth at Intervals, and frequently omit a whole county In their course. .

It wu at nine o???clock Wednesday mornli g that a wagon drove lntolhe public square at Rocking bam with a load of eleven dead bodice, three vjjiito men and eight colored men. all ghutly with bloody mutilations. The bodies came from a set tlement known ei Philadelphia, located two miles from Rockingham. It wu mostly a negro settle ment, and contained about twenty five cabins. As the sun rose upon Philadelphia Wednesday, not a house wu to be seen. Tbe.trees surrounding tbe lato settlement weie All uprooted or twisted off at the tope and carried miles from tho aoene. The single street of tho settlement wu obllterat ed by tbe mars of recks, brick, logs, plank, shin gles, fence rails aud other debris of tbe unfortu nate village. The ruins of one house were inter mingled with the ruins of another, end overall desolation reigned eupremo. Tho storm struck the settlement shunt 9 o???clock Monday night and all tbe destruction wu wrought wlibln the apart of a few minutes. Not a house escaped. The panic stricken inhabitants rushed out loto tbe street, only to be blown clear of tbe fifing debris or to bs knocked down and burled uuder It. It wu a scene that chilled tbe blocd with terror. Above the roar of the cyclone and the crash of Urn here were heard the volcss of wornea calling their us bands or children, husbands colling their wives aud children calling their parents. To moit ??? t the cries there came responses, but under the wreckage of the ruined cottages were many whose lips had been sealed and whose ears were deal to all earthly appeals. With the terror and demoral ization naturally attending suck a scene, but little could be done before day light in the way of search ing for the bodies, but after dawn a rescuing party wav organised and search wu begun among the a ghastly discovert. One of the first bodies discovered wu that ol a white man named John Dalkln He wu a largo, fireby man, weighing 176 or 2C0 pounds and as bis body was unearthed from tbe debris, a shocking sight wu revealed.

The wagon then re turned to the rcene ol the disaster for moro bodi.es, as It wu known that all bad not been recovered Irom tho ruins. Tho searching party had not gone over more than half the town, and as a number of colored people are still reported inUsIng, it Is thought tbeir bodies will be found under the portion of the ruins not at that tlmo reached. It Is believed that the number of tho killed will reach twenty or moro. 1IOW THE STORM CAME UP. The center of tho storm lu tbla state struck the out skin of the town of Rockingham, and with such sudden fury that the people were unable to esetpe from Ihelr houses. The buildings were blown down Into timbers. Some bodies were found under tho fragments and others were carried by tho wind 160 to 200 yards. A woman was found duping to her breMt an Infant scarcely a month old. Both were dead. Tho bodies of thevlc???ira were terribly bruts id and out.
