AWFUL Observation-Disclosures DE-.
sTRoYED.-We are indebted 10 the capt a
the steamer Vicksburg for the foIlowino
melancholy intelligence ofthe destruction
of Natchez:
The devoted city of Natchez was visi.
TED with one ofthe most awful and distress.
ing calamities which it has been our fate
to witness. On Wednesday, about 3 q
clocLSp. M, dark cloud made its annear.
ance in the south west, preceded bv a lond
and continued roaring of the winds; as it
came on swiftly and with the speed of the
wind, it was met by another, which was
waited from directly the opposite point of
the compass. A description of the sinh.
lime spectacle which ensued is beyond the
power of language to convey. At The
moment OF the conclusion large masses NJ
seeming white spray were precipitated n
the earth, followed by roaing ofthe wind
as It old Eolus was there guiding and d.
rectlng the storm. Houses were di.man.
tied OF their roofs and then almost imme.
diatly leveled to the earth. The air was
fllled with bricks and large pieces of tim
Der, and even large OK carts were uplifted
and thrown hundreds of yards from their
original position.
About sixty fatboats lying in port were
driven from the shore and sunk
The ferry boat plying between Natchez
and the opposite shore was capsized and
sunk, and every one ON board is supposed to
have persisted. The steamboat Kinds
was capslzed and sunk-crew all lost.
The steamer Prairie had her cabin entire.
ly taken of-crew nearly all lost. The
two hotels in the city were shaken. one
partly, the other entirely to the ground.
Almost every house was more or less in
Jured. 1t is impossible to tell how manv
were killed, as the streets were filled with
large piles of timber, rendering them i'm
passable, and the work of extracting the
bodies from the fallen houses was not com
pleted when the Vicksburg left some
fifteen or twenty bodies had been found.
1t was very difficult to find a land
ing as every house under the hill. ex-
cept five or six, was blown down, and the
river filled with floating fragments of hous.
es andboats.
The tornado, in leaving Natchez, fol-
lowed the course of the river about 8
miles down the coast. The court house
In. Vidalia was levelled to the ground and
the parish Judge killed. The trees on the
opposite side of the river, as well as those
OF Natchez Island, were all torn ND bv
the roots or deprived of their branches
The damage done to the crops was very
severe; some plantations were deprived Of
all their fences and others had every cabin
taken away by the storm.
