On reaching a Urge dwel ling bouse on ti place owned by Mrs. Grace Miller, and known as the Wnite place on tbe Florins* road, it exhibited a strange freak, rt blew down the chimney, lifted the large dwelling, a heavy log house ceiled and weatnerboardei, from tho silts and then blow the sills a wav and then let the house down on tbe spot where it originally stood. There it htanda now with the huge foundation Mills gnue. From this point it crested JuCge J. L. Wimberly’s mill pood.

Ga., March 26.—Tbo passagoof the cyciono yesterday afternoon at 6 o'clock, which was wired you last night, waa tho grandest sight LaGrango lias ever wltnea«ed, and all agree that where for a moment it seemed to char go its course nnd threatened to strike tho (own broadstde.whioh created quite a stamperdo in the crowd on Broad street. As suddenly, it again changed, going dir-fitly towards tbe Southern Female college, which svnt a thrill of horror to the hearts of * “ who noticed it, but thauks to klud providence, _ continued to bear noithward. iniwlng that it«Htl»n liourtveral hundred )ards, and furuuhlug 'or the school iho grandest sight it will, we trust, ever be tbeir privilege to behold iu tbo shape of arycleue.

The flnt depredation* heard of were at the home of Mr. Charley alms, three miles west of town, where some outhouses were blown down and the dwelling slightly damaged, a few small houses which happthod to be iu its track, uearer town, were blowu oowu or uuroofed, but no loss of llfo has been roported. By sunrise ibis morning quite a number, includ ing President Cox, with tony ©r llfiy of his young lsditw and your correspondent, weru ont viewing the foe's which had been performed, following lta path for half a mile, through mud and water and over freshly plowed ground. Large trees were twlitcdodor blown up by the roots, falling in every coucelvablo direction. Instead of the track being only a hundred yards wide, as you wero wired last night, it Is over double that width *' course was from southwest to northeast. It Is the optuton of many. Judging from all callous, that the cyclone formed only a short distance from here, and that it was not fairly started ou in mission of destruction when it passed us, It* speed being slower ibsn that of any others of which any account has bteu given. Many also declare that they saw it forming, but ot tho truth of this wo will know later. WMTEsnURM IILOWN ABOUT. Wjutmbuko, Ga., March 26 —The cyclone passed from west to east at half put five p m. demolishing imber aud bouses lu its path, not sparing any* thing In a belt of two hundred and fifty yards. It struck the northern suburbs of thla towi *— away all the railroad section houses, M _ dwelling aud several small houses. Taylor's wife and daughter emerged from the rutus without being seriously hurt. Others had taken refuge iu railroad cuts, ditches and culverts. I witnessed it to rail) faction from the verge of I)r. Knott's storm arid no alarming Indication, only from that amain vertex ol cuergy. The absence of earthquakes and dottiuatlug and resonating occompaulmentif lu sho beitveus surprised mo. It was contrary to the conceptlou 1 had formed of cyclones from cur* rem de/crlptioxjs lu tho newspapers. But tbtol.slo thing was coming in tbo general direction of where wo stood, sevoratoi us (for I had lots of oompany) rear tint pit. ai.d we cculd sec largo trees gclug down before It like grain beforo a reaper, such was tbe violence eveu wltbo'it tbe dark cvrtfer, and could soe innumerable objeats flying above. Now ltstruck a house about a quarter of a mlleawayi the walla went down lu pirccs and tho roof 111 fragments up, as if driven by a msgailno explo sion. ft was plain that no building, such as we have hero, could withstand it,and 1 should* thluk it would bavo -been too much for vour staunchest brick and mortar. Keeping its dlreciloait would rales us, to tako in its course others lees secure, but It might snddenljr deflect. We bad stowed awa) two or three dteen ladles aud children, whoso cries of fright and prajem mingled with tho din of tho storm. We Joined them In (heir situation, if not lu their prayers, and the crisis was passed rafoiy for us and for the greafar part of the vlllago. As U retreated eastward the Mr. Baker bad his honso blown down and hi* wife was paln/iilly itiarctS. On Dr. Winn’s place, still further on, H .veraf houses were blown down, and a white man wai very seriously Wirt.

Two negroes were killed near Lowch, one woman and ono onlld. Tne r>ody ol the forwr was found with tin* arm torn off and tho latter without a head. Noothor lives weru lo*t by tho storm. Iu the center of the path marked by the fsllcu timbers is a narrower belt, where tho ground wu awept clrau ot leaves and trash, and sappllngs and bushes covered with mud to tbeir tops like swamp Umbers after high water. The rotation was contra* rytothokuu, Tho trees nearly all lie with tho tops norUr and at right angles to tbe corme felled by the first stroke ol the whirlwind. Butmcrtpilons to tbe white and colored suflerors were both liber ally responded to. Kxprra# Messenger Mitchell turned over thirty three dollars collected along the line today for the section hands.
