Mt. VERNON, H., Feb. ia terrible
cyclone struck this village at 4:45 p. M,
wrecking over half the houses in the
place The storm came almost without
warning and, before the inhabitants
conld realize the horrible truth, was
gone.
The woraof rescufng the victims of
the disaster was at once begun. Whole
families were found buried under their
roofs without warning, save that given
by the storm cloud as it bounded over
the earth like an immense rubber ball.
The slaughter was appalling. The
wounded lay in the remnants of over a
hundred houses, and every few moments
a dead body, battered ont of all SEM
blance To humanity, was tenderly
dragged from its prison and borne to
place OF safety -. .5S ..r
In all 500 BIZ udings arc destroyed and
many Others injured. The dead are now
being gathered at the supreme court
house, which has been converted into a
hospital for, the dead and wounded.
This building is also damaged, but not
seriously Latest reports show twenty
nine dead and about 100 injured, some of
whom will die. -..7

Cavalry Of the Confederacy.

The cavalry of the Confederate States
was different in its organization and char
acter to any cavalry that has been seen in
modern war The infantry regiments Of
the south possessed, though In less de-
gree than those of the north, some nn-
cleus Of trained or partially trained men
in the various militia organizations.
With the cavalry the case was different.
The number of cavalrymen who on join
ing their commands knew anything about
cavalry tactics was extremely small But
on two essential points they needed no
instruction, all knew how to ride, and
all were familiar with the use of their
weapons.
With the northern man 1t was. as a
general rule. otherwise: he had nearly
always to be taught how to ride, and he
had generally to be taught how to shoot.
Thus it happened that from the opening
Of hostilities the southern trooper showed
his superiority over his northern oppo-
nent--a superiority which he maintained
until the ceaseless attrition of war re-
duced the cavalry commands Of the Con-
federacy to mere ENTHUSIASTICALLY as
well as metaphorically -and enabled the
northern horsemen to prevail by virtue of
overwhelming numbers, sufficient sup
plies and the training which they had ac-
quired through years Of campaigning,
which had been, till near the close, gem
.erally disastrous to them. New Orleans

Indescribable Wreck Visible on Every
Hand---The Storm Losses.
Mt VERNON, ILL.,, Feb. 21.-The sun
rose this morning on an appalling scene
of desolation. To the southwest of the
courthouse where the cloud first dropped
down, immense oaks are twisted from
the ground aud houses crushed by
the flying debris. Scarcely can
the direction sof the streets be traced.
How many houses were here can
only to be guessed at, for nothing is
left in places to mark the spot. Looking
northeast across the railroad the scene
appears more terrible because the build
ings were larger and heavier. The storm
swept a clear path 800 yards wide. On
each side Of the wrecked portion disman-
tied houses half buried under debris still
stand Along the business streets, where
the solid brick buildings were, not one
remains standing or even partially pre-
served What was left by the fury Of
the storm was soon deyoured by the
fierce flames. .fy,t
The property loss aggregates over half
a million dollars, and falls heavily upon
thnving community. A brief sum
mary shows the county building, the
churches, business houses and stocks of
dsaggregate loss of $410,O fine
