BY JULIAN A. SBLBY -U^U- ? - ? '.' Labor. Toil swings the axe, and forests bow, The seeds break out in radiant bloom, Rich harvests amile behind the plow, And cities olnster round the loom. Where towering domes and tapering | spires Adorn the vale and crown the hill, StOut labor lights its beacon fires, And plumes with nmoke'tho forge and | i*U ?W1L The monarch oak, the woodland's pride, Whose trunk is seamed with lightning | soars, Toil launch??a on the Meatless tide, jBgAnd there unroUs the flag of stars; The engine with his lungs of flame, And nbs of braas and joints of steel, From labor's plastic fingers came, With- sobbing valve and whirling | ..'wheel. Tis labor works the magic press, And turns the crank in hi von of toil, And beckons angels down to hless Industrious hands on sea and soiL Here sun-browned soil, with shining | ? i spade Links lake to lake with silver ties, Struck thick with palaces of trade. And-temples towering to the skies. ' ?L.-1-_ The Ton n a do of Saturday.?A de? structive tornado passed through Ogle thorpe and Greene Counties, Saturday afternoon, between'2 und ;t o'clock, de? stroying -life and property to a fearful extent. Scarcely a Iionae remains in its course. Fences were blown, iu-eye'ry di? rection, and the forest contplefely de? stroyed. Words cannot, ^xurcss the awful.scenes and distress which have so soon and unexpectedly come upon the le. ThoHu who yesterday had happy ones and plenty, ^axo to-day without house, food or clothing. ' The following | are the names of the killed, wounded, and those who had their houses de? stroyed, in the immediate neighborhood Of'^jnaX^ys, in the ..former County: Kill&d W. Maxey and Peter Wat Son, colored. , Wounded?William Jack? son in head and hip, seriously; Mrs. Mary' Asbury, in head,' shoulder and breast, seriously; Tip Shaw, arm broken; Z. Freeman, arm and eye; W. A. Pugh in rd and arm broken; Crawford Zuber, head and eye; X T. Bright well, in lea; miss ? Asbury, finger cut off; John Porter, in head;' Mrs. John Porter, slightly; Handy Poullain, colored, mor? tally wounded; Jane Butler, colored, mortally; Frank' Barnett, colored, in head; ?- ;Zuber. colored, in hip; Andy Hilf, colored, arm broke; Dick Smith, oolored, in arm; Kit Bugg, colored, in head; Aaron Calloway, colored, in head; Cheney Smith, colored, in shoulder; Burl Cafloway, colored, in chest. There are others' who are wounded, but we have not-learned their names. -The following are these who had their houses destroyed: Mr. K. T. ABbury's house?a large two-story building?was completely demolished. His wife and several children were in the house. Mr. A.-T.'Brightwell's dwelling, a two-story building, With four rooms and an L, his wtere-house, a two-story building, kitchen and fifteen other bouses on his place were completely destroyed. The dwell ing-house of Williapi Jewel and other holdings on his1 place were nil blown down. The chimney, a portion of the dwelling-house and all out-houses of the Misses Mbdre were destroyed. A part of W. At Pttgh's dwelling and all other house* on bis place, five or six in num? ber, Were blown down. Several houses on Hon. J. H. MoWhorter's place were destroyed. Charlie Bryant's dwelling Was blown down: A portion of Thomas ! Epps' house was destroyed. Several houses on H. T. Bushel's place were blown down. Mr. John Porter's house was destroyed. W. H. Porter's gin-house and several other houses on his place were completely demolished. Mr. Jas. Arthur's house was destroyed, and the wind blew his wile fifty yards, but did not seriously injure her. Several little children wero in the house, and, strange to relate, not one of them was hurt. Mr. Jan. Hurt's dwelling was badly damaged, and evory building except his dwelling, a part of his : gin-house and one negro | hoase -was completely demolished; also, all the houses on Mr. John Hurt's place. The telegraphic report, sent early Sa? turday afternoon, was greatly exagge? rated, as far as the damage, to Rutledge was concerned. Instead of every house in the village falling before the fury of the blast, only one or two were injured. A mile South of Covington, the tornado struck the plantation of Mr. John Nor? ton, leveled the dwelling, every out? building and all the fences on the place. Mr. Norton, his wife and child were in tne dwelling. The two latter wore seri-j ously injured by the falling timbers.1 Mr. Norton was also painfully wounded. The hurricane struck Dr. Montgomery's house with terrific violence, tore off the roof and literally sucked out the South side of the bnilding, carrying with it the doctor and his family. The latter, five or six in number, were blown several j yards,1 huddled together . and finally brought'Up against the roots of a tree which bad been overturned by the gale. To this they clung until the storm was pa send, pelted by the terrific shower of hall ana rain whioh accompanied the wind..: .The report that one of Dr. Mont rtaffy's children was blown away by storm .was incorrect It then struck the residence of Mr. John Steep, picked if. up and carried it twenty-five feet, Urning it one-fourth around. Mr. Stoop, who.WSJ* standing in his front do?r at the t?me, was uninjurod. Ha said that his house, felt exactly as if it was gliding K? * ?9ud of water, and that he felt no Oha when it was put down on the earth again. Miss Sallie Shore's house was btoiA dowTi"}^ Dr. E. P. Browh's entire house was leveled. Dr. Brown,'his. wjfs and a servant were in the house at the time. The escape of the three was almost miraculous. 1 DAil "Let our Just Centn CO Mr. Hill Davis" house was torn to pieces, his wife's jaw boue broken and bis little Eirl Lilian badly injured. Mr. Davis imself was seriously hurt. Every building was torn down, and the bark was literally torn off the fruit trees in the orchard. It is supposed that this was done by the pelting of recks against the trees, as the field across which the storm swept was tilled with pebbles. These were hurled down in a perfect shower upon the houses and timber.* It then crossed the creek into Mrs. Thomas Stellings place, whieh ? it devastated in a terrible manner. Mr. James Burton's | farm was the next in the route of the de? stroying elements. This gentleman's I residence and out-buildings, with nearly I all the timber, were destroyed. A re? markable fact was noticed at Mrs. Stell ing's. The top soil, trash and rails in und around a largo cotton field were blown up a steep hill, which actually looked afterwards as if a mighty flood had swept up its side. The drift was piled against tho sides of large logs ex? actly as it would have been by a torrent of water. Mrs. Stelling's chimneys wero snapped off and fell upon the roof of her dwelling, crushing through. The gardens wero destroyed and out-build? ings slso. Mr. Crowley's house and fenoing wero demolished. Buildings, fences and trees were leveled at Rhoury's | place. At Rutlcdge the Masonic Hull, in tho Eastern part of the town, was| completely torn down. Near Covington, the tornado 6ooms to I have divided into three?one, moving from the South-west, traveled a little North to East, and was that which passed near and over Rutlodge. This was about half a mile wide. Another of the three went due North. This passed over Maxey's, a station on the Athens branch [ of the Georgia Railroad, blew down a number of buildings and killed a young man named Maxoy and a negro. A party of young men out fishing at tho time had their wagon blown away and the horse killed. Up to the timo when our infor? mant heard from that section, all tho fishing party had not been found, and it was supposed that several of them wero killed. The tornado crossed the Oconee River at Mill Shoal's Factory. All the buildings except the factory were blown down. Tne third fork of tho tornado traveled in a Southerly direction, and is said to have caused great destruction in Jasper County. A letter from Bairdstown, Ga.,says:] It is impossible to estimate the damage | done by the cyclono?completely de? molishing houses and destroying farms. Several persons killed and many wounded. The storm created considerable da-1 mage iu some portions of Bornwell | County, S. C. A farmer from that sec? tion was in the city yesterday for the purpose of purchasing horses and mules, all of his, five in number, having been killed by the storm, which blow a stable down on them. [Awjusta Chronicle <?* Sentinel. A Young Martyr.?Tho death of Miss Fitzgerald, of Faterson, N. J., by kero? sene burning, heretofore announced, was a cose of martyrdom. In getting out of bed to procure relief for a tooth-ache, she upset the lamp and set fire to the bed. Her first thought was not of her? self, but of some children who were sleeping in the same room with her, and she carried them out, and ran into the street, all burning and naked as she was, the blinding snow affording a grateful sense of relief. Her cries aroused the other inmates of the house, among them Dr. Cahill and his brother .William, who ran to her rescue and carried' her into | the house, young Cahill getting his hands severely burned in so doing. Meanwhile, the unfortunate girl was suf? fering untold agony from her burns. Her whole body, from her neck down, was burned?her sides to a crisp, and her foet and limbs so that the skin peeled off and fell down in strips. But she bore her sufferings like a martyr, and when Dr. Cahill applied oil and lime water to ease her pain, she said, gratefully: ' 'That feels good; I shall never forget 3*00, doc? tor." It was evident that her injuries were fatal, and that all that was possible to be done for her was to ease her puin. She lingered till about 1.30 o'clock, when she died. - EiiEcrioN News.?Reliable information was received last night to tho effect that) the Democrats elected eleven out of se? venteen Aldermen in the city of Raleigh, Monday. The Aldermen elect the Mayor, thus giving that office to the Democrats. This is the first timo tho city has gono Democratic since the war. Telegrams from Salisbury, Hillsboro, Durham's, Henderson and Warrenton indicate that the Democrats havo swept everything. Charlotte is in a stato of excitement over the result of the municipal election. Col. Win. Johnston has been elected over W. F. Davidson, by 59 voteB. Youniyi i. MunnEKKSu. ? A murder was committed Saturday morning, in tho North-western portion of Fairfield.
