river and then returned. excep
Messrs. Russell, Donnella, Stuart
Pollard and Burlington, who wen
twenty miles into Kentucky to Crak
er's Neck and did not return unit
Tuesday night. Mr.. Miller and his

A telegram was received yesterday

AMOUNT STOLEN.
The amount t. ken BY the robbers In
Guiding "convertib,es' &C." was be-
tween nineteen and twenty thousand
dollars, but ofthat amount less than
$4,000 was in currency. The Bank
is in the habit OF keeping its balances
in Eastern and Western depositaries,
and having n It much cash in its vault /;
this was done as a matter of precau-
ton, As the President was fearful OF
Just such a mishap a this, on account
of the Bank being in an unfrequent-
ed part of the city. The loss Of the
money did not cause any Interrupt
ton to the business of the Bank !;
they received from funds on deposit
at Charleston and elsewhere n sufh'
cient amount of currency for present
reeds aud now are proceeding as usu'
al. The amount secured by the rob,
bers was less than / per cent of the
available assets of the Bank.
There have been many daring rob
berries, but none we have ever heard
of in which such perfect daredevil
GOODNESS and audacity was displayed.
The mat er has, no doubt been work
ed up. They understood the sltua-
ton of all the surroundings, and must
have hal their entire course mapped
out. The mel were mounted on fine
horses, one gray, two bays, and a
dark brown; they came past Mud
bridge on Friday last, where they
dined and had their horses fed. Two
o. ten staid at Mr.. Crump'S near
Barboursville on Saturday and Sun
day. One of them came to the Hunt>
ington house on Friday evening and
registered as j. {. Johnson Of Tenn
eSSee.
1t is the general opinion that they
are the same parties who tried to rob
the Bank nearly a year ago, when
Mr.. Oney slept there.
The Banks through the country
should raise fund OF ten or twenty
thousand dollars and secure the con
viction of the villains at any cost, rs
no bank is safe from such an attack,

The Georgia Tornado.

AUGUSTA, Ca, March 3D.
The path of the tornado was from 200
to 600 yards wide. The cyclone was
cylindrical in shape, and rotated with
fearful velocity from norsh to south.
The front cloud was black as night and
half mile high; the rear was illuminated
by bright light. 1t Travelled nearly due
east,veering little to north. After de-
yastating Camak the tornado seems to
have divided, one portion going east by
north, and crossing the Savannah RIVER
above and below Augusta, both proving
equally destructive, laying waste every
thing in their track. Huge trees were
broken like reeds, and in some instances
carried three-quarters of a mile. The
tornado was preceded by dull, heavy
roaring, as of heavy artillery in the dis
tance 1t spent its greatest fury in about
three minutes. An eyewitness says the
senses were utterly deadened and aP-
palled. There was crash, a roar, and
the mingling of hundred terrific and
unearthly sounds. Houses were demol-
ished, and oaks that had withstood the
storms of century were snapped in
twain There is great distress in the dew
astated district, embracing eight coun-
ties in Georgia and two or three in South
Carolina. The destruction of property is
immense, and the list of killed and
wounded appalling.
