Awful Tornado and Loss of Life.
CINCINNATI, November &c


A terrific tornado, at Cape Girardeau,
Mo-, occurred yesterday, with great loss
of life and destruction of property. The
Baptist and Catholic Churches, the Cath.
olic Convent, and the Telegraph Masts,
are destroyed. The steamer Saranac, No.
2, was blown TO pieces.
About two o'clock, on the same even
ing, the most destructive tornado which
has been experienced in the Mississippi
Valley for several years past, swept over
the town of Cape Girardeau, demolishing
some seventy or eighty of the finest build
ings of the town. Two splendid telegra ph
masts oil the ". Louis and New Orleans
Telegraph Co., were blown down and
broken as though they were pipe stems.
The town is literally laid waste, and the
loss is very great. Many lives were lost,
and numerous persons badly injured. A
cow was unceremoniously lifted up and
deposited in the top of tree, about forty
feet from the ground.
The steamer Saranac, No. 3, which
had just rounded to, had all her upper
works blown off, and several persons on
her were badly injured. The wharf boat
also was blown from her moorings and
badly wrecked.

The Message.

In advance of most of our country CO.
temporaries, we present our readers with
the Annual Message of the President of
the United States. Although we do not
like many of the measures advocated bv
the President, it must be admitted that,
in literary point of view, the message
is very able state paper, and worthy The
careful perusal of every American.
We received it yesterday morning,
when most of the matter for this weeks
paper had been prepared and in types;
but deeming the message Of more i'm
portance in the eyes Of patrons than
any thing else, we have excluded our
usual variety in order to furnish them
with it. We must ask the indulgence Of
many of our advertising friends for the
of their favors in this number.

and Tor the purpose of Cancellation. L be-
iieve that great majority of our fellow
ctnzens symPathize in that spirit, and that
purpose. and in the main approve. and are
prepared, III all respects, to sustain these
enactmenis. l cannot doubt that the Am
erican people, bound together by. kindred
blood and common traditions, still cherish
parau.uunt regard for the Union OF their
fathers; and that they are ready to rebuke
any attempt to violate its integrity, to dis
turb the compromise on which it is based,
or to resist the laws which have been en-
acted under its authority
The series of measures to which hare
alluded are regarded by Inc as settlement
In principle and substance-a final settle
ment OF the dangerous and exciting sub
Jects which they embraced. Most of these
subjects, indeed, are beyond your reach,
as the legislation which disposed of them
was, IN Its character, final and irrevocahle
1t may be presumed from the opposition
which they all encountered that none of
those measures was free from imperfec-
tions, but In their mutual dependence aud
connexion they formed a system of CON
promise, the most conciliatory, and best
Tor the entire country, that could be ob-
tanned from conflicting sectional Interests
and opinions.
For this reason recommend your adherence
TO the adjustment established BY those meas.
ures, until time and experience shall demon
strate the necessity of further legislation 10
qua rd against evasion or abuse.
By that adjustment we have been rescued
fro" the wide and boundless agitation that
surrounded US, Al nd have a firm, distinct and
legal ground to rest upon. And the occasion
trust, will justify me IN exhorting nv coun
trymen to rally upon and maintain that ground

give You some idea of the sufferings. of

There was great deal of starvation
among the emigrants at the head waters

have seen three dollars per pound offered
and refused for flour and pork. Whilst

provisions had 10 spare, and when
was packing my proUe,ader on my back,
l divided with several poor devils who
appeared SO famished as to be scarcely
able to travel another mile without some

desire to come to this country is never 10
attempt 10 do SO by land, as thousands
have this year left their bones 10 bleach
upon the plains
When | arrived here, | went to work

grocery and making gold cradles, and am
raising house for protection during the
approaching rainy season. l hope TO
make some money here. Some miners
are dong well, and making their fortunes,
but there are thousands who scarcely
make their board, and are anxiously
awaiting an opportunity to strike for
home. There is plenty of gold here,
however, but it takes zine, perseverance
and hard labor TO procure it. And after
a man has got it, he must know how to
keep it, for every inducement is held out
TO him to spend it in the way of gambling
houses and liquor shops. | believe that
there is a hundred chances here for

The steamer Gayosa, Memphis and
Arkansas packet, was destroyed by fire at
Memphis to-day. The fire originated in
the back portion of the boat. The boat
was finally scu.tled and sunk. The Gays
osa was insured for $4,000; she belonged
to Captain Timme.
The fire also communicated to the
steamer Swallow, an old stern wheel
boat, which was destroyed-loss $4,000.
A new hull prepared for the Swallow was
saved by the aid of the steamer Countess,
which towed 1t out of danger.
