Severe storm-Loss of life. &c.

On last Tuesday morning, between the
hours of l and II o'clock, portion of our
town was visited with severe gale of wind.
attended with copious showers of rain. -.
The wind seems to have approached from
opposite directions, Judging from the man
ner in which the trees were blown down,
and concentrating the residence of Joshua
Willis, formed into an eddy, and taking a
north-e east direction, swept everything be-
fore it. Persons who witnessed the scene
describe the sullen roar of the wind, the
dark and threatening clouds, and objects
from the earth flying about in indcscribablc
confusion, as terrible, and drew the ex-
clamation from more than one, chow insig-
nlfcant is man when compared with the
majesty of God"
Mr.. Willis seems to have been the prin-
I cipal sufferer, though others suffered more
or less He was just completing a new
two-story dwelling when the gale occurred,
and workmon were engaged upon it at the
time. The wind, however, completely de-
molished everything, and nothing was left
but fragments, which were strewn around
in every direction. Mr. Willis, his wife,
child, and Mr. and Mrs. Hubbard and 9th
ers, were badly injured and several limbs
fractured n boy named Gabc, belonging
to John I. Peterson, was found blown off
some distance, lifclcss. Another boy, ,Aleck
VIC do not know to whom he belongs, was
severely bruised, and had, we believe, an
arm broken. Mr.. Lancclott Johnston had
two negroes badly hurt, besides portion
of his dwelling house, all his out-houscs
and fences blown down, and his family mar
rowly escaped. The top of Mr.. Bilbro's
house was blown off and fences and out
houses blown down, but no bodily injury
sustained The premises of MIR. Sullins,
Judge Alexander, Mr.. Wimbcrly, Gen
Graves, Mr.. Brcedlove, Mr. Cox, Mr.
Wright and others, sustained more or less
damage. Gen. Graves lost anew carriage
and valuable horse. Mr.. Graham had a
boy blown off mule, but he sustained lit
tlcinjury.
The storm passed over the creek below
Mr. Wright's, but we have not heard what
damage was done. 1t is distressing to wit
ness the scene presented at Mr. Willis
Here the wind seems to have concentrated
nom every quarter, and giant oaks, that
had wlthstood manya storm, were uplifted
by the ruthless elements and hurled to con-
siderable distance. An infant, belonging
to one of Mr., Wills servants, only three
OF four months Old, was found amid the
ruins, uninjured. A large number of our
citizens hurried out on the occasion and
rendered all the assistance in their power
At the latest accounts, the unfortunate VIC
TINS were getting on as well as could be ex-
pected.
We have since learned thata good deal
OF damage was done across the creek at
place called Texas, and several persons were
severely if not mortally injured. We hope
this account, however, will prove unfound-
