Tkrhiblt. 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.

To the Citizens of Colombia.
CoLTMniA, S. C, April 17, 1875.
THE undersigned, on behalf of the
hand engines of the city of Colum?
bia, have appointed the following per?
sons to solicit contributions to aid them
in defraying the expenses of the TOUR?
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.
The members of both companies have
contributed to a fand for that purpose,
but failing to raise a sufficient amount,
they are compelled to appeal to a gene?
rous public to supplement their own
contributions with a snm sufficient to
pay the expenses.
It is unnecessary for us te refer to our
voluntary services, given at all times for
the protection of the lives nnd property
of the citizens of Columbia; we feel they
are known and appreciated, and that onr
appeal will meet with a hearty, liberal
response. H. E. HAYNE,
