The Georgia TOrnadO-Terrible Des-
tructiOn.
AUGUSTA, March 2@.-The path of the
tornado was from two to six hundred
yards wide. The cyclone was cylindrical
in shape, and rotated with fearful vcloci-
ty from north to south. The front cloud
was as black rs night and half mile
high; the rear was Illuminated by Il
bright light. 1t travelled nearly due east,
veering Il little to the north. After
devastating Camak the tornado
seems to have divided, one portion
going east by north, and crossing the
Savannah river above and below Au-
susta, both proving equally destructive,
laying waste to everything IN their track.
Huge trees were broken like reeds, and
in some instances carried three-quartcrS
of mile. The tornado proceeded by II
dull heavy roaring rs of heavy artillery
in distance. 1t spent It's greatest fury
in about three minutes. An eye witness
, says that the senses of the people were
utterly deadened and appalled,. There
Was IA crash, roar and the mingling Of
Il hundred terrific and uucarthly sounds.
Houses were demolished, and oaks that
/ had stood the storms for Il century, were
snapped in TWAIN. There is great dis
/ tress in the devastated district, embrac-
/ ing eight counties in Georgia and two or
/ three in South Carolina. The destruc-
tion of property Is immense, and the list
of the killed and wounded appalling.
