race: - -a ~ ,s
Each week sees the departure, on an aver

are young men and women between 20 and
30 years Of age. To imagine the effect Of
this drain upon the community, we might in

toWnHke that Of Bantry, there would hardly
be young man or woman left in it. The
actual numbers are greater than the popula-
ton Of many large villages, and fortnights

SO considerable town as N Millstreet. Rsmem-
bering that almost every oneof these persons
is Of condition to be Of actual value to the
community--the men as farm labOrers, or
mechanics the women, either IN agficultu-
ral labor, as servants, OF, still more important
as the healthy mothers Of strong children, Il

Ths Great Natohez Tornado Of 1s


Ths Great Natehez Tornado Of 1s4O.
The city of Eatehsz, Mississippi, was de-
vastated on the 7th of May, ls4O, by the
most destructive tornado on record in the
United States, exceeding in loss of life, but
not in destruction Of property, the terribls
tOrnadoes Of June Sd, Isseq- The following
is a description Of the Natchsz storm and its
effects
p" The day began warm and cloudy, wind
south 4, veering to east 8 Z AZ p. m. wind, q
gale N. E. and E. /; at lh. 45m. p. m. the sky
became a lurid yellow, the storm striking the
river (the Mississippi) about six or seven
miles below the city, reaching it at p. m.-
The rush did not last more than five minutes,
and the destructive blast but few seconds.
Houses were burst outward, and the
central point was a vacuum action. BIT per-
sons were killed in the city and on the river.
Sheet tin was carried 20 miles, and windows
30 miles. The direction of the track was
from WIS. W. n. E and E.lE.E. The
effect of the storm upon the leaves and buds
of plants was in 8 measure to scar them, alb
stracting 30 much of their vitality that such

growth 80 suspended that it was ten days or
more before they resuscitatsd and began to
grow again. Some very thriving grape vines
were killed,-even the succulent morus null

passed over it." Such Is the description Of
ths greatest tornado that has ever devastated

It viii probably be news to most readerS
to learn that Cotton Manufactures are prose-
cuted with success in Zanssville, and add
materially to the thrift Of that ancient look
ing cityof the Bluskingum Valley.
The Mu5Siagum sheeting Mn is on the
Canal, and has been much improved during
the pasttaTes years under the PrOprietOrshiP
Of 3lr- -Duvsll. The building is four stories
'high,li ghts5by gas, and heated by steam. The
lower story is occupied by the engines and
msehineEY for making cotton batting. In
the second story there are large number Of
earding machines, where cotton after going
fhrV1gh the picking process, is prepared fSr
spinning. On the third story. 6fy-thFee
looms are IN operation, in charge ofeightssn
femsls operatives; on the fourth aooF over
1900 spindles are in rapid motion. The week
ly product Of this mill is L, 900 yards of Great
Western No. l, IA brown sheeting, and 12,-
900 lbs Of Cotton Batting Every part of
the refuse or waste is turned TO a good pur-
pose. The hard waste is sold TO railroad
companies for cleaning machinery the
rough waste, baling and rope is readily sold
to paper makers. s4laas
The mill constantly employs about seventy
opsI5tyss2tBfse sEerseeHs eight men, and
thsrrumainder females and boys Their
monthly pay roll is $500. The operatives
not only support themselves, but in some
cases rrovide living for feeble parents or
younger brothers and sisters. Their wages
are fll as large as paid in other and larger
eines. e - Id
The raw cotton is purchased in Memphis,
Tenn, and the bales are brought by the Ohio
River and Ohio improvements. The Batting
finds ready sale in GAINESVILLE, and the Sheet
ing is sold in large quantities to Wholesale
dealers in the large cities. The Courier, from
which we have CLEANED the above items of
interest, mentions among the advantages en-
joyed at GAINESVILLE for manufacturing cotton
goods, not enjoyed at the East, saving of
carriage on the raw material to the East and
on the manufactured goods Westward. Mr.
Arthur, who superintends the GAINESVILLE Mil,
has been engaged in cotton manufacturing
for half century.
IF cotton can be manufactured with profit
in the interior city Of ofzanesville, for series
of years, as has been demonstrated by the
success Of the Mnskingum sheeting Mil, need
Cleveland capitalists hesitate to introduce the
cheerful hum Of spindles and the clack Of
looms on the Lake Shors2 win they not
consider the matter

One Of the editors Of the Cincinnati Com
mercial is at Richmond ana the following Is
his special dispatch of ihs nth;
The secedofs' Convention has effected an
Informal sfganilation. They have been IN
session Bat half IN hour, and bran new
delegation from New York has turned up
There are two delegates from Tonnessee, and
two from Virginia The Gulf States are fully
represented. fI rrfs.fI
There vim be an adjournment on Wednes-
day TO Baltimore,
The delegates from the Cotton States say
the recent Douglas meetings down there were
a mere swindle on the public Their county
meetings were only attended by nom four to
fflseu men, and nos half tho counties were
represented IN their so-oalled State Conven-
tiOns. Conventions endorsing the secsdera
were multitudinous
The fre-eaters say, let the DOuglasites ex.
pei them at Baltimore If they dare. They
will then draw of with them a majority OF
the delegations from Tennessee, Kentucky,
Virginia and North Carolina-also the Pacific
States. Then they want Douglas friends to
nominate him, as he would be the weakest
man they could nominate, and could not they
say, carry one Southern State The charge
Of dlsunion is Indignantly denied BY Yancey
Rhett, and ell the rest ffl
There have already two difficulties turned
up, respecting the Baltimore Convention
The City Democratic Committee at Baltimore,
ffierdly to Douglas have engaged the Front
Street Theater for the Convention, SO as to let
in al the outside pressure. The State Com
mittee, enemies Of Douglas, have engaged
Market Hall, where the outsiders could not
operate. Judge Smalley, Of the old Nation
al Committee, is put up by the Douglasites
to admit, by tickets, all the Douglas Cotton
State delegates on the floor. Chairman Cush-
ing win admit the regular delegates, and ex-
clude all others. Thus, there is a fight about
the hall and about tickets of admission.

The atmosph0re rises above us with It's
cathedral dome, afching towards heaven, of
which Il Is the most perfect synonym and
symbol Il floats around us ike that grand
object which the Apostle John saw in his vis-
Ion, ga sea Of glass like unto q crystal.e So
massive is II, that when It begins TO stir it
tosses about great ships like playthings, and
sweeps cities and forests like sn0w-liales 20
destruction before It. And yet 1t is so mo-
bile, that we have lived years in Il ere we can
be persuaded that It exists at all, and the great
bulk Of mankind never realize the truth that
they are bathed in an ocean Of air.
Itsweight Is 50 very enormous that iron
shivefs before It like glass; yet a soap ball
sails through It with impunity, and the tiniest
insect waves It aside with its wing. It min
listers layishly so all the senses We touch it
not but Il touches US. Us warm South winds
bring back color 70 the pale face Of the in
valid; is cool West winds refresh the ieYered
brow and make the blood mantle on our
cheeks; events North blasts brace into new
yigor the hardened children of our rugged
climate. The eye is indebted to il for all the
magnifcenco Of sunrise, the full brightness Of
midday, the chastened radiance Of the beam
ing sun, and the clouds that cradle near the
setting sun. But for IT. the rainbow would
want its triumphant arch, and the winds
would not send its fleecy messengers on er-
Fands to the heavens. The cold ether would
not shed snow feathers on the earth, nor
would drops Of dew gather on the flowers
The kindly rain would never fall, nor hail
storm nor fog diversity the face Of the sky.
Our naked globe would turn its tanned and
unshadowed forehead to the sun, and one
dreary monotonous blaze OF light and heat
dazzle and burn up all living things. Were
there TO atmosphere, the evening sun would
be in moment set, and without warning,
plunge the earth into darkness. But the air
keeps in her hand a sheath Of her rays, and
lets them slip but slowly through her fingers;
so that the shadows Of evening are gathered
by degrees, and the flowers have time to bow
their heads, and each creature space to find
a place of rest, and nestle to repOse.
In the morning, the glaring sun would at
one bound burst from the bosom of night,
and blaze above the hohzoni but the air
watches for his coming and sends at first but
one little ray to announce his approach, and
then another, and by and by handful, and
50 gently draws aside the curtain Of night,
and slowly lets the light fall on the face Of
the sleeping earth, until her eyelids begin to
open, and thus daily like man, she goeth
forth again to her labor until the e, ening.
