Destructive hurricane and political reminiscences from a Boston paper
The Carrollton Mississippi Democrat reports a hurricane ravaging southern Carroll County, Marion destroyed by converging clouds, with all but one house gone. The text shifts to a Washington correspondent’s reflection on politics, Congress agendas, and land and rail proposals, noting reforms, revenue cuts, and the Pacific Railroad bill.
