C a lamit v.?A terrific tornado Sassed over Rutledge, a station on the ?eorgia Railroad, one hundred and twelve miles from Augusta and nine miles above Madison, on Saturday, leveling every building, except the tele? graph ofhee. The rumor proved to be correct. Mr-. Gregory, the telegraph operator at Rutledge, telegraphed, that tho destruction at that place was fearful. Not a house was then standing except the building where the telegraph office is located. Before any further particulars could bo given, however, the lino stop? ped working. Rutledge is a place of about two hundred and lifty inhabitants, and before the storm contained nearly fifty houses, all of which, with one or two ex? ceptions, were one story frame struc? tures. They wore occupied principally by employees of the Georgia Railroad and their families. Every effort was made last evening to obtain fall particu? lars of the disaster, but as the telegraph line was blown down this side of Rut? ledge, cutting off all communication between Augusta and that place, by that means but little could he heard. A telegram received from Atlanta states that the storm struck the up passenger train on the Georgia Railroad as it was leaving Rutledge at forty minutes past two o'clock. Trees were blown down across tho track, ami the train was de? layed a half hour, removing them. Dr. Montgomery's house, a short distance beyond Rutledge, was blown down, and his son, four years old, blown away. Ho had not been found when the train left. John Norton's wife and child were badly hurt at Covington. It was reported in Augusta late last evening that Covington and Lithonia had both been destroyed by tho storm, but nothing authentic could be obtained. A Relic ron Centennials.?-South Carolina can contribute a relic of loyalty to centennial exhibitions in the mace used by the sergant-at-arms of the Senate on groat occasions. It attracted a great deal of notice at the inauguration of Gov. Chamberlain, when it was first used since reconstruction. In "Dmyton's Memoirs" a note thus speaks of it: "This mace is now tho only remnant of official loyalty among us. Lord Wil? liam Campbell would have takeu it with him when he tooE the great seal of the province, but it was fortunately beyond his control. It is made of silver gilded over with gold, and is said to have cost 200 guineas. It is about four feet long, and of some considerable weight; being surmounted with the crown and great seal of England, around the verge of which are the two faces of the provincial seal of South Carolina, highly embossed, and other ornamental devices. This mace was mislaid for many years, but was discovered in one of the banks at Philadelphia, where it had been lodged for safe-keeping, and is now in the secretary's office at Columbia," in South Carolina." The Pout Royal RAii.uoAn.- The Au? gusta papers state that on Friday after? noon, upon the application of John F. Davidson, a stockholder in tho Port Royal Railroad, an injunction was issued by Judge Gibson, directed against the Georgia Railroad, restraining it from paying the interest due on $500,000 of bonds of the Port Royal Railroad, en? dorsed by the Georgia Road; also, re? straining the road from permitting any of the rolling stock of the Georgia Rail? road to be carried into South Carolina, and praying for the appointment of a receiver of the Port Royal Railroad in Georgia. The bill charges that a New York firm, and tho parties most inte? rested in the road, have failed to comply with the terms of their contract with the Georgia Road, in not having paid the floating debt of the company, furnished proper equipment for the road and aline of steamers from Port Royal to Northern ports; that the Port Royal Road owes the Georgia Road large sums of money for freight, use of ears and Tepairs, and is unable to pay the same. The case, which excites much interest in the railroad circle, will be heard by Judge Gibson on the 11th inst. San Francisco surgeons have just ex? tracted an Enfield rifle bullet from tho left eye of General J. F. Miller. Tho General was wounded at the battle of Liberty Cap, Tonil., July 21, 1863, and men of science could never locate the position of the bullet in his head. When tho operation was performed, it was as? certained that the leaden missile had be? come attached to one of the bones of the skull. Death ov an Oi.i> Citizen.

NAMENT to be given by them on the 11th OP MAY next, viz: Messrs. John Dennison, H. E. Hayne, Isaac Black, Jr., C. M. Wilder, Thos. J. Gregory and William Rose.
