All in that section heard its awful rush and roar. The accom- panying winds set up a mournful, howling shrieking as if under the influence of a powerful demon. The air was instantly filled with clouds of blinding dust and flying tents of canvas torn away from meagre fastenings. Consternation was depicted on the faces of all, owing to the horrors of the tornado. In a moment after it appeared as if the gates above had been opened, so great was the volume of water that fell deluging the earth, swa...mping everything. The men from the North de- clared they had not before seen anything like it, and with blanched faces all sought safety in the open and on the highest ground to be conveniently reached. The trenches and other excavations occupied by the men for safety from the enemy's missiles were so quickly inundated that many had all they could do to effect their escape, leaving haversacks, blankets, etc. , behind in their wild flight. While it was dangerous on the plain, or more level part of the ground, it was at the rear, in the deep and wide ravine, where a number of regiments were encamped, that the most damage was incurred by the Union forces.
