ACCORDING to the calculations made
regarding the old musket, every man
killed in battle had cost his weight
in lead. This is certainly easily be-
lieved, when late experiments are
borne In mind. Even with tho

not hit 25, 900 men, or kill half that
number by musketry. -t

TERRIBLE TORNADO.

One of the most fearful and destructive tor
nadoes within the memory of the oldest inhabitants
Lassed over and near the town of Jacksonville,
Morgan county, Illinois, on Thursday the 10th ut'
For the distance of twelve miles it swept with
dreadful fury over field, prairie and hamlet, carry
ing away houses, men, women, horses, cattle &c,
and leveling everything in its course with the
ground.
The damage to property and loss of life Is i'm
mense, but cannot yet be estimated. 1t is only
known as yet that thirty-six dwellings have been
destroyed, sixteen persons killed and seventy
wounded. And it is feared most Of the latter must
die.
The whole county is laid desolate and in mourn
ing.
The meteorological phenomena of the storm
were very curious. Among other things, 1t is said
that it seemed to proceed from very bright cloud
which swept with fearful rapidity over its track,
while on either side it SO dark as to be
impossible to distinguish objects at the shortest
s.ance

ANOTHER LIoN-Paul Morphy, the great
Chess-player, is becoming quite demi-god in the

satisfy 4 morbid intellect-whether it be Teresa
Sickles affair, Bond street tragedy, or man who
understands game better than any one else
The fact is, the tendency of the North to "or-
ship strange gods is becoming more and more
manifest every day; and as long as they can be
oorpcd with excitement upon small subjects the
South need fear but little from the practical e1er
else of pseudo philanthropy on the niger queS-

that there were BOB delegates present. The dem
