DREADFUL TORNADO.

We are informed by some gentlemen
Just from the Illinois, that few days pre-
vIous 10 their departure, violent tornado
came across the Mississippi, through the
wood and struck the house Of Dr., BARNES
in the edge ofthe praire, blew it complete
ly down TO the silIs, destroyed all his fur
ni,ure, papers, &c. Fortunately the fami.
ly were alarmedby the noise, and fed to
the prairie where they renamed safe. II
killed seven head OF cattle, number of
sheep, and one horse by log being blown
thro' his body. II was accompanied with
hail, some of which measured seven in.
ches, and discourse was nearly eastward
until II entered the praire when it changed
to northeast. The information is of SO
recent date, we have not as yet heard Of
any further damage being done.
We are also informed that part ofthe
Sac nation Of Indians are very much ex.
asperated at the death Of the Indian that
was lately confined at St. Louis, and that
900 warriors were on their way down TO
revenge his death. This information
comes from source that there can be no
doubt Of its correctness.
Since receiving the above we are in
formed that his excellency governor HAIR
RIscN hssreceived letter from the agent
tor Indian affairs at St. Louis. in which he
says he has no doubt but that he can per-
iectly satisfy the Indians upon proper
representation Of the case, and that there
need be no danger apprehended Of a rup-
ture with them.
