TUE ELEMENTS IN A RAQE-FEARFUL. DESTRUCTION OF PnorERT?.-Tho At? lanta Intelligencer learns from a pas? senger, who arrived in that city on Sa? turday night, on tho Montgomery train, tho following particulars of a terrible nyclone which passed,over tho Counties of Troupe and Merri wether on Friday night, the 17th instant: Tho aftcruoou and evening of that day were extremely warm und sultry for this Hoason of tho year, indicating tho conge? nial atmosphere of a balmy spring day. lu the night, about 10 o'clock, ut Lu Grange, tho barometer suddenly fell, and douse black clouds gathered on the horizon and quickly ascended tothofcky. As near A3 our informant could ascer? tain, a cyclone formed about six milos North-east of LaGraugo, in Troupe County, and swept with awful destruc? tion iu tho direction of Merriwothcr. Whilst its greatest intensity was only felt for three-quarters of a milo, people living at n much grenier distance, more or less, felt its violence. Tho citizens ol LaGrange, four or five miles off, were in grent alarm, hut their residences and other property sustained no material damage. Tho first great damage sustained was upon thc plantation of James Daniels, in Troupe County, where not one pnnnel of fence, houso, tree, or even small sap? ling, was to be found standing yesterday morning. Passing on in its terrible course, it next struck tho residence of widow McGhee, and literally leveled everything to tho ground. Here, at this plantation, it assumed sublimely awful proportions. It WUH fun ucl shaped, and in addition to liftiug tho largest trees of the forest and all of Mrs. McG'tce's houses high in the mid? night air, was accompanied with fiery tresses of lightuiug and tho loudest peals of Heaven's artillery 1 Here, too, the destruction was simply complete. Abso? lutely nothing was left standing above ground. Tho storm, or this uwful cyclone, passed on. Tho next plantation in its path was that of Mrs. Jones. Then it struck tho straggling little village of Mountville, laying everything in waste as it went ou. Tho plantations of Nathaniel Sledge, William Sony and James Bird, fell di? rectly in its path. Mr. Bird lives on thc lino of Troupe and Merri wether County. It passed i uto M orri wether, and had lost none of its violeuce, when hist heard from. Ile heard of no ono being killed out right, buta great many . wounded. Oo the Goodwin plantation, it was reported that every ono was moro or less injured Not a house, tree or rail was left stand iug on this place. Tho wiud ran in a twisting, funnel shape. It had tho power to grapple witl tho largest tries iu thc for? sr, and to carry them for a distance of half a mile. During ils prevalence, hail stones us large, as lieu eggs fell. Tho ntmosphei o qnickly turned chillingly cold, and v.'as sensibly felt iu Atlauta. Lippman's hitters are for salo hy all drug? gist* and dealers. Depot in Columbia. ti. C., atGi.icF.il A.
