A TORNADO STRIKES NASHVILLE
Cincinnati, February ia dispatch
from Nashville, Tennessee, says tornado
struck the city at II o'clock last night,
accompanied by a heavy rain. Great
damage was done in different parts of the
city, and several casualties are reported.
The roofs of Rhea's elevator, Burns
Block, and the Edge6eld Manufacturing
Company's building were blown away. A
brick wall of the new custom house fell
in with crash, from the third story to
the cellar. The merchants Exchange
was badly damaged. Fifteen dwellings
and twenty business houses were par
TALLY destroyed. At lilo o'clock the
wind twas blowing at the rate of forty
miles an hour, and men were blown down
in the streets. A man on trestle bridge
was blown from it and broke leg. All
trains were forced to lay over on account
of trees and rails being blown across the
track. No estimate of the loss is made.
Rhea & Sons are the heaviest losers,
caused by the unroofing of their elevator.
exposing 10000 bushels of wheat to the
flood of rain.
LATER.-A number of freight cars
which were standing OH the Louisville
and Nashville railroad track were precip-
itated down an embankment. The dam
age in the city alone is estimated at
100000 but in the country it cannot be
approximated. Several lives are reported
to be lost.

ANOTHER NEGRO EXoDUs.-The ne
gro exodus has begun in an entirely new
direction, and not less than one hundred
ablc-bodied hands have left Greenwood
and Ninety-Six and the surrounding
country during the last month. On
Monday large crowd of these people
met the up train at Ninety-SiX and
Greenwood, and twenty-three new emi-
grants were added to those who have
already made their exodus. The crowd
at the train was greatly excited and made
much ado over their departing friends.
They were very extravagant in their
farewells and shouted, laughed and cried
about the cars until the steam horse gal
loped off with its strange burden. The
exodists were generally grown men, al
though there were several women and a
half-dozen children among the number.
Their destination is The iron mining re-
gion of North Alabama, where they have
been promised steady employment in the
mines or in cutting up cord wood for the
furnaces at large wages. They were in
charge of Il Mr.. Young, representing the
owners of those mines who have in
duced them to leave this county. There
is said to be considerable feeling about
this exodus at Nincty.Six and q scarcity
of Agricultural labor. 1t is hoped that
the exodus will end with Mondays car
load, but there is still large number OF
those who express a desire to 60 after
them, and what the result will be is hard
to tell. The negroes cannot Improve
their condition by going to Alabama or
any other Southern State.-AJJeriNe Ne

THE EXTRA SESSION.

The Legislature is still in session, but
will probably adjourn tomorrow. The
most important measures that have been
up for consideration are the Blue Ridge
Railroad bill, the bill for the settlement
of the debt of Columbia, and the correc-
tions in the supply aud appropriation
bills. The Blue Ridge bill has passed
the House of Representatives, and its
advocates in the Senate are confident
that it will pass that body also. They
claim for it 20 votes, which is clear
majority ofthe body.
The supply bill has been so changed as
to make levy of mills for State pur-
poses, and in that shape will probably
pass both Houses and be approved by
the Governor. I. is certain that the levy
will not be less than that amount.

RAINFALL To OKpER.- Washington,
February lI.-Gen. Daniel Ruggles, at
the request of the Senate committee on
agriculture, appeared before them to-day
and briefly explained his method of pre-
cipitating rainfall b. scientific methods.
His meIhcd-fnr which he has been
granted patents to send up to the
cloud realm cartridges of dynamite or
smaller explosive materials in skeleton
balloons, and to explode them either by
lime fuses or by magnetic electricity
through light metallic wires connecting
the balloons with the earth. Gen. Rug
GIGS, as the result of many years of
study and investigation of this subject,
claims that tic diffused mists passing
over arid regions, or regions suffering
from unusual drought, may be consuli-
dated readily into rainfalls by conclusions
and vibrations thus artiicially produced; {;
and he has therefore suggested to the
committee that Congress may provide a
small appropriation to make tests. The
committee were so interested in Ger.
Ruggles' plan that they asked him to
give them more information, which he is
10 do.

produced nnd read memorandum of n
conversation which he had before wit
nesses, who are named, with Henry S.
Byers, ex.chairman of the Republican
central committee of Shelby county, In
diana, on January 25lh last. Byers
said:
"Therc is no Disgusting the fact, Ray,
that the exodus of colored men to In
diana is 4 political movement of the Re-
publican party. l know it to be fact.
i've intend 10 carry Indiana with the aid
of the negro vote, and if the Republican
party had taken my advice, they would
have set the movement on foot and
brought them here long ago. We intend
to bring 5000 of them into the State in
time to vote this fall, and will place them
in close Congressional districts and in
close counties of Indiana. While it is
rather expensive, it is cheaper for the
party than buying votes on the day of
election as we have always had to do"
Iu reply 10 Rays question, Byers said
he was in n position TO know that this
was an organized effort on the part of the
Republican managers, and said he him
self had contributed all he was able to
contribute to this object. Rays memo

ted in evidence by the committee, after
which they adjourned.

The Cowpcns Centennial.

The celebration of the one hundredih
anniversary of the American victory at
Cowpens, near Cherokee Ford, in Spar
tanburg County, which will take place
on January II, 1881, is expected 10 be
upon a grand scale. Committees of
citizens of Spartanburg County, South
Carolina, and of the Washington Light
Infantry are in charge Of the arrange
ments, and Col. Edward B. White, of
New York, formerly Of Charleston, has
been invited to prepare the plans for the
Cowpens column. This will be com
posed of gray granite, the intention being
to make it massive aud imposing me.
mortal mot for day, but for all time"
Mayor Courtenay has been elected
Chairman of the Cowpens Centennial
Committee, with Col. w. x. Blake, OF
Spartanburg, as Vice-Prcsident, Col. E.
B. White as Architect, and Lieut.. Geo.
B. Edwards as Secretary and Treasurer.
1t is the hope of the Committee to obtain
the active assistance Of the Governors
and people of the "Old Thirteen" States
and of the State of Tennessee, and the
several Governors are invited accordingly
to act as an honorary Advisory Commit
tee and to be present at the celebration.
President Hayes has written to
the Committee expressing his interest
in the undertaking, and there is joint
resolution before Congress making an
appropriation for bronze statue of Gen.
Daniel Morgan, who commanded the
victorious American troops. This bronze
statue, a mark of the grateful remem-
brance of the whole Union, will be
placed upon the memorial column de-
signed by Col. White.
South Carolina will commemorate the
one hundredth anniversary of two IA
nous engagements within year, Kings
Mountain in October and Cowpens in
January. Much interest is taken in
both of them, and we are glad to see that
the General Assembly are disposed to
give them q hearty and practical ap-
proyal. Both demonstrations touch the
popular heart, and the grand Fort Moul-
trie Centennial celebration in Charleston,
we predict, will be equalled at Kings
Mountain on October Z, 1SS0p and at
Cowpens OH January II, 1881.

A Beautiful Valedictory.

The following is taken from the Atlanta
Constitution, and is published for the ben
eft of the many friends in our midst and
admirers of the noble man who is the
subject of the notice:
Yesterday Judge Logan E. Bleckley
took his leave of the Supreme Court,
after serving as an Associate Justice for
five years, with that ability which has
characterized him in whatever position
he has filled. His farewell was in a
manner at once unique and beautiful.
1t was so much like the man, so express
sive of his gentle nature that it naturally
affected his associates and all who heard
him. After he had delivered several
opinions on cases which the court had
decided, he took up sheet of paper
and read therefrom the following beauti-
full lines, which were drawn up in a reg
ular judicial form of opinion:

IN THE MATTER OF REST,

11S1SS3NA'Stt -
1. Rest for the hand and brow and breast,
For fingers, heart and brain
Rest and peace long release
From labor and from pain;
Pain of doubt, fatigue, despair
Pain of darkness everywhere,
And seeking light in vain
.. Peace and rest Are they the best
For mortals here below?
Is soft rcpose from work and woes
A bliss for men to know?
Bliss of time is bliss Of toll;
Nc bliss but this, from sin and soil,
Does God permit to grow.
Judge B!eckley read the lines slowly
and with an emphasis which added to
their inherent worth. BY order of the
court they were spread on the minutes
in honor of their author.
Judge Blcckley is an elder brother of
NJ. S. BIeckley, of Anderson.

There are many reputed remedies for that
very prevalent disease chronic nasal. catarrh,
but none which have given general satisfac-
ton and become acknowledged standard
preparations, except DR.. Sage's Catarrh
Remedy. 1t continues to enjoy an unprece-
denied popularity. This reputation has
been earned through the permanent cures
which it has wrought, having proved itself a
specific in the worst forms OF the disease.
In fact so reliable is it that its former pro-
prietor offered through all the newspapers Of
the land reward OF $500 for a case OF catarrh
that it would not cure. Sold by druggists.

A late cattle plague in certain Rus
sian provinces resulted fatally to sew
enty-five or eighty per cent of all the
animals affected by it. Seeing no es-
cape for his cattle, one individual re-
sorted to an experiment of inoculating
his healthy beasts with the virus taken
from the diseased ones. On the tenth
day after the operation all the cattle
experimental upon were taken i'll, and
it is reported that but eighteen per
cent died, leaving eighty-two per cent
secure from the epidemic. SO satisfac-
tory is this result that the experiment
is to be repeated on Il large scale.
