MACON, Ga, Nov. 81, 1850.
The Union party have carried the
State by an overwhelming majority. 1t
will probably reach 10000. In 33 coun-
ties heard from, the Disunionsts have
elected only three delegates to the State
Convention, and these are by less than
200 aggregate majority. The other 30
counties send Union delegates by ma
jorities of 1000 to 300 each.
LOUISVILLE, Nov. 30.
One Of the most appalling and des-
tructive tornadocs which has been ex-
perenced in the Mississippi Valley for
several years occurred about two o.
clock in the afternoon. 1t swept over
the town of Cape Girardean, Mississippi,
situated on Mississippi river, just below
ST. Louis, and demolished some seventy
or eighty buildings, many Of them the
finest and principal business houses in
the place. Tie Baptist and Catholic
Churches, and the Catholic convent
were destroyed.
Two Of the large and splendid tele-
graph masts belonging to the st. Louis
and New Orleans Telegraph Company,
were cracked, shvered, and brought to
the ground with rs much ease as though
they had been but pipe stems.
The steamboat Saranac. No. g, which
had just rounded 10 the wharf. had her
upper works completely blown of. and
several persons OH her were severely
injured and some, il is probable, were
drowned. The wharf boat was likewise
blown from her moorings, and almost
Irreparably injured.
In order that you may Judge of the
tremendous violence Of the storm, I will
state that n COW was unceri noniously
lifted off her feet on terra iirma and de-
posted on the top OF tree sixty feet
from the ground. The loss of life by
this awful visitation cannot as yet be as
ceriaincd but il is certainly very great,
as numbers are doubtless buried beneath
ruins Of fallen buildings. There are al
so many persons seriously injured, and
