 The Tornado.

Since our last we have received minute par tculars of the frghtful tornado that recently caused desolation and death to the village of Cedar Hill and neighborhood. In the limited extent to which it prevailed this frightful tor nado, in its destroying fury and terrible power, exceeded anything of the kind of which we have any account. The tornedo at Natchez many years ago, and that which visited Vicks. burg some eight or ten years since, destroyed more life and property only because they had more material to operate upon; but we are of opinion they were neither of them so terribly violent and furious as that which Utterly swept the village of Cedar Hill from the face of the earth.
 The storm commenced about one hour by sun. It appears that
 1.-Two gathering clouds, like meeting armics," one from the north and the other from the south, came in contact about mile south of Cedar Hill and strove for the mastery in one of these terrific elemental contests that strike the ..beholder with awe and terror So equal ly matched were these opposite forces that neither could gain the complete ascendency, and the contending forces were blended into a terrific whirlwind, which
 '.Issued forth with sudden burst,
 And hurled the whole precipitated air
 Down in q torrent"
 Those who saw it at this time represent the clouds and storm as descending suddenly to the ground, involving the earth in the darkness of night Tornadoes generally tend upwards, but this, especially at first, down, with all it's power and fury towards the earth, so much so that the ground was literally ploughed up and picketed with spars and fragments of timber torn to pieces by the wind. Fence-rails were broken and torn to splinters; wagon-tyres broken and twisted into fantastic shapes; wheels torn to pieces, and the ax}es twisted or broken off, Large new blows were carried half mile. broken into fragments; everything on top of the ground blown away, and posts and timbers, ike in it, torn up and blown away or torn to pieces. Even the grass on the prairie was shorn off as with fire or scythe.
 The fury of the storm as 1t approached Cedar Hill, was first severely felt at Mr. Roper's better known as the old place of U. Bagget. MT. R.'s house was unroofed. It then swept away the residence of Wm. 0. Hart, at Cedar Hill, injur- ing rim severely. The dwelling and storehouse of Mr. Berry, partner of M. M. Miller of Pleas- ant Run was dashed to pieces. The storehouse was deserted by its inmates. Mr. Berry and Henderson Hart took refuge in Berry's house just in time to be in the house when it was dash ed to peces-killing all the inmates except Henderson Hart who is dangerously wounded The very foundations of these buildings were removed: and the foundation timbers and the mutilated bodies of the dead were scattered about in every direction. All the goods in the store. except a few heavy articles, were blown entirely away. A piece of silk, doubtless from tthe store, was found the next day in the neigh

 Upon motion, committee of five, to wit: Hon. M. E. Hudson, Ex-Gov. Roane, M. P. Moorel, D. w. Carroll, and Col L. B. Luckie, were appointed committee to draft rules of action for the government of the convention, who after short consultation, reported the following:
 l. Resolued, That this convention adopt the following, as a rule in voting: that each town ship shall cast one vote for every ten votes which the township polls.
 2. Resoluea, That when two or more names are put in nomination for the same office be- fore this convention, that the delegates of the different townships have fifteen minutes to con- fer together before casting their vote.
 3. Resolved That each delegation shall have its own voting delegate.
 4. Resozued That in the event that any de- legation cannot agree to cast their vote for any one candidate, that the vote shall be cast ac cordlng to their choice.
 B. Resolved That two-thirds of the votes cast shall be necessary to choice of candl- dates nominated by this convention. r The following resolutions were then offered oy Wilio Williams, jr., and unanimously adopt ed by the convention:
 WHEREAS, From precedents in the democra- tc party, from the earliest history of that par ty down to the present time, it has been the custom to meet Tn convention, and by a free and unbiased expression of opinion, declare it's sentiments upon all questions of public policy as we'll of national as state affairs; and where as from the signs of the times, all things seem to denote that the political campaign we are just about entering, will prove warm and ex- citing contest; and whereas, the democratic party has to meet a foe that accomplishes its ends not by open, manly, and high toned means, but in secret cabals and in the dark hours of the night, therefore | Resolved That the democratic party of Jef- fersen county endorse the acts of the present administration, and recognize in the present chief executive of the United States a worthy and efficient standard bearer in the campaign for the presidential chair.
 Resolued, That the principle set forth in the Kansas Nebraska bill, is sound constitution al measure, and eminenty part of the creed of the democratic party.
 Resolved, That whomsoever the conventions at Little Rock and Hot Springs shall nominate as candidates for Governor and Congress, tha, the democratic party of Jefferson county will pledge themselves to use all legitimate efforts | to secure their election.
