slaves from Arkansas A contribution was got
up, and they were ransomed to day. New Alba

What is little singular in this case IS, that this

months had associated altogether with white

Great Hurricane on the ississippi-Dreadfui
Loss of Life and Property.

LOUISVILLE, Saturday, NOV. so.
One OF the most appalling and destructive tor
nadoes which has been experienced IN the Mis-
sissippi Valley for several years, occurred about
o'clock in the afternoon.
II swept over the town of Cape Girardeau,
Mo. situated ON the 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.
The Baptist and Catholic Churches, and the
Catholic Convent were destroyed.
Two of the large and splendid telegraph masts
belonging TO the st. Leuis and New Orleans Tel
egraph Companies were cracked, shiyered, and
brought to the ground with as much ease as though
they had been pipe stems.
The steamboat Saranac No. 2, which had just
rounded to at the wharf, had her upper works
completely blown Off and several persons on her
We're severely injured, and some, it's probable,
were drowned.
The wharf boat was likewise blown from her
moorings, and almost irreparaby injured
In order that you may Judge of the tremendous
unceremoniously lifted off her feet on terra tIp'0,
and deposited in the top of tree, 90 feet from
the ground.
The loss of life, by this awful visitation, can
not as vet be ascertained but it is certainly very
great. as numbers are doubtless buried beneath
the ruins of the fallen buildings. There are also
a great many persons vino are seriously injured
and some of them are so crippled and manned
that they will never recover from the effects.
The town is literally torn in pieces, and looks
truly wo.begone, Many citizens, who were this
morning to be seen with light hearts and smiling
faces are tonight wrapped either in the arms of
death or else are weeping for their friends who
have been thus untimely swept away.
