A TORNADO SWEEPING ACROSS THE BTATE OV GEORGIA. Atlanta, Ga., May .6. A terribly de structive tornado swept over this State on Saturday last from Alabama to North Car olina, leaving a track of death and destruc tion from a half to three-quarters of a mile wide. It crossed the line from Chambers county, Ala., hito Harris and Talbot coun ties, Ga., at about 2:"Q r. i. The tornado looked like a funnel-shaped rloud, with the apex on the ground, and moved with great velocity, making a noise like the rumblingof many railroad trains. It moved from above Opelika to Good Water, the terminus of the Savannah and Memphis Railroad, and thence to West Point, de stroying everything 'in its track..

Tiian.T.iNo cot-:t of tiih calaiiitt. I.onion, May 0 Evening. Forty-three survivors of the crew and passengers of the steamer Schiller have an ived at Pen zance. Of these thiity-three hae gone to Plj mouth, and. the remaining ten are too ill to be moved. The following additional patticidars of the disaster have been re ceived : A heavy fog had prevented ob servat ions on !. ai 1 th Suhillei since Thurs day, and in consequence ef the fog the en gines were put at half speed and sail was rcdnceel at nine o'clock Friday night. At ten o'clock the same night the ship struck the lodge, and at once a great panic pre vailed. Captain Thomas is highly praised for his conduct during the terrible scenes which followed. Two boats were filled with men v.ho refused to come out tain lired his revolver over their heads to drive them tut, then fired at them, but without effect. Afterwards tlie ship was washed with her broadside to the sea, and all on boar.1 these boats perished. The tackle at tho stern was released too soon, leaving tho bolts suspene'ed by the bows. Three boats then got away. One of them, a life-boat, was so badly iivjureel that she sunk, and eleven ef the people on board of her were rescued by the either boats. The fog lifted an hour abcr the steamer struek, anel the lights were plainly visible. Two of the boats on tho steamer were crushed by the falling ef the funnel. Buckets ar.d guns were fired fremi the steame-i until the powder became wet. The eleck hone, ciowdt-el with people, was swept away at 2 a. f. The captain gath ered some of the snrvivois on the bridge, and all were gradually swept away by the flood tide, which took the elortor and cap tain last. The rigging which remained above water was crowned with passengers j and crew all night. Tho mainmast fell at 7:00 A. M-, and. being of iion, sunk with j all who li-.id taken refuge n it. The fore- mast gave way soon afterward. Life-belts j are! wreck stuff saved the lives of some ! who drif.ed miles away. One man was rescued after being in the water ten hours, j Two bor.ts from M. Acnes arrived a short time after the mast fell, but were unable to approach the Meamer on account of the i shoals, but picked up strugglers in the : water. The passengers say that Captain ; i Thomas left the bridge at 3 a. m. to assist those on deck, and whin he reached the ! deck was swept away by a heavy sea. All i concur in saying that ho exorcised the ' greatest caie, ami was not ancu lor live nights previous to the disaster. The sea began to bi-eak over the vessel half an hour after the struck, and the tide rose twenty five feet before elay-break. Only mie wo- ' man was saved. Thesui vivors who landed at Trescow escaped in the Schiller's own boats. j LATER T" A RT ICt.'LA RS. j Loxnots, May 10. The sea is too heavy ! to-day for boats to approach tho wreck of j the steamship Schiller. No cargo of any ; importance has yet been recovered. Fih ! ermcn report that the Schiller is firmly sct 1 tied on the rocks and will not fall o,T into J deep water. Although it is difficult to ap pioach the wreck now, there will bo many elays in summer when salvago may be ef fected. ! LIFE BHLTS. There was a life-belt in every one of tho 1 IX HARRIS COCXTT. The cyclone passed south of West Point and crossed the Chattshoochie liver at Houston's ferry. Thence it travelled in an j easteily direction, demolishing dwellings. I pin houses, outbnilelings. fences, and crops, j Live stock, wagons, buggy wheels, and timber were sent Hying through tho air like sc many loaves in a wliii lvvic.d. Near . West Point, Muri ah's mill was blown down, j and a negro's throat was cut by a flying '. plank. Mis. Winn lost "everything she t owned, anel hersulf and daughters were , ba lly injured. One of her daughters was ' caught up by Iho tornado and lodged in an I a:iple tree. Senator Moss dwelling and ! fiutbuildings were demolished, but he and his family esca peel injury by taking refuge ! in the cellar. At Muriah's mill several lives were lost. B. B. MoUey, S. P. Grant, ! Jesse I'ooerts, Morgan Murrnh, and W i C. Davis lost all their buildings. Ii. G. Hood lost his gin house and blacksmith shop, but his d welling escaped. AtM. II. ' Speucc's place the destruction was terrible. Three negroes were killed, all the ov.tbniM- ings elestroyed, and the buildings unroofed. : Beech Spring Church, just opposite, was ! blown down, and several i:egics who were i in and near it were badly injured. John ' A. Mieldleburk's gin house and other dwcll i ings were demolished. Crops have sufTer- ed considerably, and forests are levelleel along the track of the tornado. IX TALBOT COUNTY j the tornado destroyed all the timber it ' passed over, and made a complete w reck of buiMings and fencing. On Sim Delooch's ' plantation a white by and a negro, who were in an epen lieid, lay flat on the ground i to save themselves, but a sill from a house nearby was blown upon them, killing the negro and severely wounding the boy. M. j V. Wilson lost all bis houses. His wife was severely wounded, and ho su.feied slight injuries. W. P. Crawford's place 1 was , badly damaged. All the houses on The cap- i the place of Mr. Jas. M. Weaver were blown to pieces, and tnc whole place was laid waste. Mr. Weaver and his two daughters were badly hurt. A negro em the place was killcel, and several were badiy wounel ed. Two churches and an academy were blown down at Valley Grove. Dr. Owens' s place, near by. was occupied by tho I lev. J. J. Harris. lie and his famiiy were in the kitchen eating dinner when the tornaelo reached the place. The kitchen was blown down, and a young man named Kenelrick and a young lady named Kennedy were killed. Pleven persons are known to have been killed in Talbot county. IX HOUSTON COUNTY the damage to property was great. All the buildings in Fort Valley were cither ele stroyed or baelly damaged, most of the tim bers uproeted or broken off, anel but little fencing left standing. Crops of corn aud cotton that were up will have to be replant ed. A portion of the dwelling on tho Hugh i Allen place was blown down, severely wouneling Mrs. King, Mrs. Mceniit. and 1 Miss MeGrifT. Mrs. hting has f-ince died, j She was the wife of Elder A.

' and to be yet missing. Widow Hollow-ay's ' house was blevu do n, and she was terri 1 bly injured, several of her ribs being broken ' by falling limbers. The destruction of ' crops, fencing, anel buildings was great, i Many farms were so badly damaged that it i will be almost impessiblo for tho owners to j make a crop this year. i In Greensboro tho track of the tornado j is marked by the uprooting of many of the venerable and ancient oaks that have made beautiful and lovely its shady cemetery, its private residences, and its public streets. Many buildings were wrecked, fences car ried away, and crops destroyed, A VILLAGE DESTROYED. In the southern part of" Maxeys the de struction ef life and property was terrible. When the cyclone struck tho place a jus tice's court was in scstion in Bi ightwell's store, a mile and a half so'.uh of Maxey station. The building was wrenched from its foundation, and tho stock of goods scat tered. The failing timbers crushed to death Mr. G. W. Maxey, the notary pub lic, and a negro was caught up by the tem pest, borne fifty yards away, and his brains dashed out against a pine stump. A num- Few thit.gs can be considered more sadly significant than the eifficial declara tion of the City Council of New Orleans to the effect that general and intense suffer ing for want of the common necessaries of life prevails in the Crescent City, suffering which the municipal government is unable from its own poverty to relieve, and the accompanying- recommendation to the charitable who have aught to organize for the assistance of those who have nothing. It would seem, at first glance, incredible, the statement that in a great city at the mouth of the artery of Wes'cm and South ern commerce, the centre ef a territory wucre Nature has lavished her treasures upon climate anel soil, the seat of a popu lation that for years was no less marked by its opulence than by ita enterprise, jeople are dying daily fer want of bread. Nevertheless the statement is but too sadly true. New Orleans, like other seaports aud river cities, has a large population that must depend upon the day's woik on the levee or in the warehouse for the day's bread. With the paralysis of trade aud commerce their sole dependence has van ished, and they have been dooraeei to idle ness, beggary and starvation. Not alone the lower classes have suffered, but men and women gently born and delicately l eared, their property first dilapidated by war, then destioyeel by that more disas trous cousequence of the war, the govern ment of Grant's harpies ; w ithout any op portunity to earn a livelihood, with noth ing to sell for food in their extremity, or un able to find buyers if happily aught which was theirs has eluded the tax collector, are dying for lack of food plainer than wo ac cord to our paupers and prisoners. The remarkable increase of suicide among the peeple cf the city is another significant proof of their desperate distress. If, as was intimaLcd some two weeks since, a sickly seasou is to be expecteel in the South this .summer, the plague of pestilence will be added to the plagues of famine and de vastation, and its lavages ill be the great er for the enfeebled state of the victims. It is possible that these physical and more apparent consequences of the usurpation ol" Louisiana may appeal to and t-tt'ect those who have, witnessed without remorse or protest its political and .social elegradaiion aud destruction, and s;o make doubly sure the assurance of the ovei throw of Baelical i.Mn next year. But in tho ineanw hile the ready charity of tho Amei ican people can do much to alleviate this physical distress, and even those to whom the political prin ciples of the sufferers are obnoxious may recognize the mute appeal ef hunger te humanity A". Y. World. - - A Gallant CoMMANnr.a. That was a brave story which came acsess by cable a night or two ago, telling how the schoemer JtTeron- B'irdtn was saved by a heroic captain from the control of a lot of rascally mutineers. Novel w riter:; have often fan cied such incidents and made them tlie frame-work for their tales : but few men with imagination to draw upon ever invested their narratives with a more pronounceel ebarnatic effect than attaches to the ac count of tho Borihi). afiair, as iccited by tho cable coiTesinr.ident. As the details ran, it will be rocollccted that almeist all the sailors excepting the olhVers were en gaged in a conspiracy, the supposed object of which was to seize and rob the escl. They began by killing the second mate while he was upon his niyht watch. Then they called up the first mate, and him they threw ovcrboarel. The captain was now the only remaining oriicer to be l id of. They summoned him out as if his dutj- re quired him to be upon de ck ; but looking around and perceiving that his compan ions' bunks were vacant, he went above with a loadeel revolver. Then we are teld bow this stout captain, single-haneled and alone, "surrounded,'' as it were, and bes sieged the ruffianly mutineers for a whole day, bulging lad in their bodies whenever he get sight of them, and finally compel ling them to surrender unconelii ionally. The incident is decidedly thiilling. It is ene of those stray circumstances that show how far truc-heartedncss and cour age may overmatch knaveiy, even when merely numerical or physical odels seem in favor of the latter. And we are sure all who read of the valor of the gallant Caps tain Patterson of the JijTerson Ilordon. felt the better for it, and experienced a feeling as near to symputhetie admiration as any they have known since the days when the delighted in the nursery stories ef the de feat and overthrow of wicked giauts, bad fuii ics and so forth. On the high seas so much of life and property is daily depen dent upon the skill anel resoluteness of the commanders of vessels that such an exem plification of beth these qualities in a rare degree cannot be pascel without a full measure of international approbation.

Last month, in the case of tho Ceimmon wealth vs. The Kittanning Coal Company, Judge Pearson decided that the tax on the fran chises of coal companies, levietl under the act of April 24, 1S74, was unconstitutional, on the grounel that the exemption from taxation of the coal consumed by the ctal companies in the transaction of their busi ness, was in violation of the constitutional restriction upon the power of the Legisla ture to make exemptions. On further ars gument, on exceptions filed, the juelge has reconsidered his original opinion, and now and now holds that as the tax levied is upon the franchises of the corporat ions, and not upon the coal, that the Legislature has not exceeded its powers in the arbitrary classi fication established by the statute. Under this elecision, as it now stands, the "coal tax" can be collected, which as it will amount to over half a million ef dollars, will be a great relief to the general revenue fnnel. The coal companies will carry the ease to tho supreme court, and it is under stood that it will be argued during tho present sitting in this city and at once dis posed of.
