The prompt work done by those in charge
of this office during the great storm on Sat

building and its contents from serious
damage and a heavy pecuniary loss to the
proprietor, who was in the fearful gale at
Tybee. Mr. Middleton, Mr. Whelan,
and others, swept the water out
of the rooms Into the entry
ways, but were unable to prevent it
forcing through the ceilings, doing slight
damage. On Sunday Mr. \ incent, the Su
perintendent of the Job cffice, cleared away
the rubbish, and with the assistance of Mr.
McCarthy, the engineer of the office, put
tbe tin back In its place and battered K
down with strips of wood. The demand for
tinners made it Impossible to get ary work
done just at thia time, so Mr. McDermott,
who has charge of the stereotyping room;
undertook the Job of soldering up the ren’e
and cracks, and everything is now in good
order, tave a little plastering and brick
work, which can be done at some other
time.
We are ready to execute any work that our

Charleston— Beaufort and Port
Royal.
The destructiveness of the fearful and
terrific tempest which swept the South At
lantic coast and played such havoc In this
city and section on Saturday, llustrated
in this supplemental account to
nearly an entire page In the Morn
ing News of yesterday, giving the
details of Its ravages, as far as could then
be obtained. While the following pre
sent* a frightful picture of
woe, desolation and ruin, and unprece
dented loss of life in this locality,it is feared
the chapter of horrors Is not yet complete
ami that news of the disasters will continue
to come in for several days. Immediately
around Savannah the damage has been im
mense and the loss of life terrible. In the
city, while the destruction of property has
been very great, we are not called upon to
note any fatal accidents beyond the unfor
tunate drowning of Mr. R.*L. Fl'zgerald,
from the steamer Plant.
Our sister city of Charleston, which was
greeted with the fury of Boreas some
hours previous to his visit here, hss not
suffered to the extent of Savannah, as will
appear from the accounts given below.
The following additional details %111 be
perused with Interest:
XT MONTGOMERY
the storm was severe, but the place being
so well protected on the north and east the
destruction of property was not as great as
at some other points on the salts. At
eleven o’clock Saturday night, when
the wind shifted to the south
east, considerable damage was
done to fences, trees, shrubbery and out
buildings. The tide rose about six feet
above ordinary high water mark and car
ried off the club house, which was formerly
the property of the Savannah Yacht Club,
landing it in a wrecked condition on Rose
Dhu Island. The bluff at Mr. L. T. Turner’s
was badly washed, and some of his fences
blown down. At Mr. J. B. West’s tbe bath
house, boat house and his yacht Stella were
carried away,the latter landing some distance
up the river, with bat slight damage. The
magnificent live oak tree in front of Mr.
West’s residence, and which was one of the
largest In the 3 ate, had several of lta
branches twisted off and Its beauty some
what marred. At Mr. L Y. Gibbs’ several
large trees were blown down, some of
them failing in close and uncomfortable
proximity to his dwelling.
Messrs' Appleton and Newell’s places
escaped damage, except a servant’s house
a: the latter, which was slightly damaged
by a fallicg tree.
at bbauliec
the bluff was badly washed in many places,
and fences, trees snd houses damaged. At
M*;. Hart ridge’s a tree fell on an outbuild
ing. crashing it in, while hl bath house is
i.mos: a complete wreck. At Mr. J. M.
two large water oaks fell on
the roof of hi* dwelling, but fortu
natelT some of the lateral branches
coming :a contact with the ground, checked
the force of the fail and thus saved the
house from total destruction. The roof,
howtrer, is seriously damaged.
Mr. D. McDonald had one or two boats
and his bath house carried away, but most
of the material from the latter was after
wards recovered from the river.
Colonels Oimstead ard Way had their
fences ned many handsome shade trees
blown down. At Capt. John W. Anderson’s
the bath house was blown away and his
dwelling somewhat lijured by tbe wind
and rain. Dr. Bulloch’s dwelling
was also slightly Injured and two out build
ings demolished.
Tbe roads in the vicinity of Montgomery
and Beaulieu are impassible, being obstruct
ed by fallen trees, hundreds of which have
been torn up by the roots or twisted off
from ten to twenty feet above the ground.
AT WHITE BLUFF
the destruction was great. All the bath
bouses and platforms on tbe beautiful bluff
were swept away or injured, and a number
of boats lest. The bluff was badly wahed,
fences were knocked down, and much dam
age was done to several of the residences,
that of Mr. D. Y. Daccy, lately erected,
being injured to tbe extent of nearly *I,OOO.
BURNSIDE ISLAND
suffered a great deal, more in fact than any
other place In the vicinity. Ail of tbe
dwelling bouses and outbuildings, except
one or two, were unroofed, and tbe Inmates
were subjected to the full force of the terri
ble storm during the entire night. At day
light they sought refuge at Beaulieu, leaving
the island only to find the causeway and
bridge Impassable, tbe latter being swept
away. With the assistance of boats they
managed to reach the main land. Fortu
nately no lives were lost.
Tbe dwelling house of Mrs. Henry
McAlpin was blown away, and the family
refugeed in the kitchen, which was only
saved by a tree falling on It. that kept it
in its place. Tbe fine live oaks near there
are rooted up.
AT SHIPYARD CREEK,
on the Breulieu tract, the water rose over
the place of Dr. Falligant, and the wind
blew down his 6table- and damaged his
dwelling. Trees sre lying In every direc
tion.
At Skidaway Capt. M. D. Brown’s house,
on the southern end, was nearly washed
away, and the weather boarding and piazza
torn t ff. The Captain aad his wife, in at
tempting to get to higher land, got into a
slue and Mrs.'Brown fainted and came near
being drowned. After a great effort her
husband succeeded in getting her to an
elevated point, where they remained until
daylight.
On the northern end of the Island, Messrs.
A. N. Miller and T. W. McNish’s houses
were carried away, and the occupants staid
out in a field ail night.
WILMINGTON ISLAND.
The reports from Wilmington Island
state that at Birstow’s place a stable was
blown down and a mule killed.
Five Degto houses were blown down at
Pinder’s place, and ODe at Screven’s. At
Mj. N. O. Tilton’s place the damage Is
very ex’euslve. His dwelling house was
blown off Its foundation.
At Dr. A. Oemler’s place a barn was
blown down, and the schooner Daisy, lying
at his wharf, was broken io pieces by drift
wood and logs. All through the woods and
fields are wrecks of furniture, houses,
fencirg, etc., dead cattle, several box’s, a
flat, and several headboards, probably from
the soldiers’ graves. The most of these
probably came from Cockspur Island. The
tug boat Canoochee Is lying about a mile
and a half from Dr. Osmler’s house, having,
as stated yesterday, dragged four miles over
the marshes. Se lies about one hundred
and fifty feet from a creek, and can be got
off. She Is in good order.
THE RAVAGES AT BONAVENTURE.
The avenues at Bonaventure are filled
with limbs and branches of trees, but only
ore of the old oaks has fallen In the storm.
Several tombstones are blown dowD, but
none of the Urge monuments received any
damage. Mr. W. E. Ferrell, the keeper,
bad bis bouse blown down.
THE SARAGOSSA WEATHERS THE GALE AMO
SAVES A VESSEL.
The steamship Saragossa, under the com
mand of the popular Capt. T. A. Hooper,
concerning which some apprehension was
felt, as It was known that she must have
encountered the fury of the gale, made her
appearance at Tybee yesterday morning,
having a Urge bark in tow. She came to her
wharf about half past one o’clock, where the
Cap’aln was met by his many friends, to
give him greeting and congratulate him
upon eafeiy weathering the storm with his
good ship and being able to render assist
acce to a distressed craft. We questioned
the Captain in regard to the Incidents of
the voyage, which was the roughest In his
experience, and learned the following :
‘‘Left Baltimore on Thursday at 4 o’clock
In the afternoon, and on Saturday morning
about daybreak encountered the cyclone off
Cspe Lookout, the wind blowing from the
southeast, increasing in violence during the
day, until It reached a velocity of about
seventy five miles an hour, causing immense
seas. It continued with the lime violence
until Saturday night, when the wind began
to moderate slightly but the sea was rough
and very high.
“Ear.y Sunday morning It began to sub
side, with finer weather overhead, but still
an ugly cross sea setting in from the east
ward. During the whole gale the ship be
haved s; lendidiy and sustained no damage.
“On Sunday morning at eight o’clock,
when to the southward or Cape Romatir,
we sighted a bark with signal of distress
flying. We immediately bore away for her,
and foued her to be the bark Traveler, of
Yarmouth, NovaScotla,fromCoosaw, bound
to Liverpool, with a cargo of phosphate
rock. She was dismasted and laboring
hard, the sea at the time being very rough,
a strong southeast wind prevailing. Cap
tain Goudet, of the bark, desired
assistance, and asked to be towed into Ty
bee. After a trial of two hours and a half,
during a strong gale and heavy sea, we suc
ceeded in getting a hawser to her, when 1
asked him what water he was drawing, to
which he replied nineteen feet nine inches,
with four feet of water in ber hold. We
then started ahead, and reached Tybee
safely at 11 o’clock Monday morning, where
we dropped him at anchor abreast of Tybee
light and came on up to the cUy.
“About thirty miles southward of Cape
Lookout we passed the schooner Laura G.
Messer, of Portland, Maine, hove to, gale
blowing very hard and a very high sea on at
th* time.”
The Saraeossa came up the river without
a mishap, though all the buoys were out of
place, the bell buoy being some distance off
It* proper place.
RETURN or THE STEAMER DESSOUG DISA
BLED.
The steamship Dessoug, Captain Smith,
which sailed from this port on Thursday
lartfor New York, returned here yesterday
morning, having had her rudder and tiller
broken and her machinery slightly dam
aged. Captain Smith, her commander, re
ports that on Bundav morning he
saw a steamship about sixty miles
to the eastward of Tvbee, which he is con
fident was the City of Macon, and that she
was apparently all right. He also reports
having seen a equare rigged vessel about 40
miles to the southward of Tybee; her upper
deck and cabin could only be seen and the
name could not be discerned. The Dessoug
had proceeded as far as Charleston, nnd
struck the hurricane about midday on
Friday. The gale Increased and lasted until
Bunday. The Captain alto states that he
saw a schooner, with one mast gone, evi
dently coming this way. The officers speak
in the highest terms of the seaworthiness
of tbe steamer, and say that she
Is both staunch and buoyant, and that she
rode the heavy seas easy and gracefu'ly,
without the sudden jars that are generally
experienced in other vessels. She is a regu
lar ocean steamer, and but for tbe mishaps
noted would undoubted!? have safely
passed through the storm and made her
port of destination on time.
RESCUING THE DISTRESSED.
Yesterday morning the steamtug Consti
tution went down the river with the Mayor
and Health Officer on an official visit to the
quarantine station. The damage to the
station is not as serious as was apprehended,
the piles being uninjured. Dr. Huger and
the pilot, Captain George Barker, were
brought up to the city. Their sufferings
were great during Saturday night and Sun
day for water and food.
At Long Island and Fort Pulaski signals
of distress were flying, and the tug went to
those points. From the former place was
brought Mr. Theodore Morel, the lighthouse
keeper, and his family. Also two colored
meD, who had been shipwrecked while
going to Port Royal, and were rescued by
the keeper.
The tug also proceeded to Fort Pulaski,
where the Sergeant and squad there were
found in destitution and distress, having
had the signal flying since Saturday. The
Sergeant and three men were brought up to
the city and supplies were carried the men
left on duty at the fort by the revenue cut
ter Discover.
THE PERILS OF A LIGHTHOUSE KEEPER.
Theodore Morel, the keeper of Long
Island L’ghts.reportslthat the range beacon
was carried away on Saturday night. The
sea buret open the door of the main light
house. which was also used as the residence,
and filled the place with water, carrying
awav the window stutters,and sweeping out
all the furniture ard clothe - , water and pro
visions and all supplies, including tbe oil.
Mr. Morel and his wife and his sister and
daughter took refuge in the
light room, about four feet
square, expecting every minute
to be carried away, but the butlding stood
the storm. They remained in the house
without food or water until yesterday after
noon, when they were taken off by the tug
Constitution, as stated elsewhere.
Near the lighthouse was a fisherman’s
house, occupied by Mr. Valentine Morton
and wife. Mr. Morel urged them In the
evening to come tothellghthome forsafety.
but Morton preferred to stay in his house,
and In the morning there was not the least
trace of the house or its occupants, who
were swept away to watery graves.
THE DEAD RECOVERED.
It seems that the reported loss of life
from the storm has not be exaggerated, and
doubtless will far exceed the estimate that
has been made. The Coroner was kept busy
yesterday from early in tbe morniDg until
dark,holding Inquests on the bodies of the
unfortunate victims which were found In
the river and swamps. On Hutchinson’s
Island alone he held Inquests
upon five persons, all colored. They were
Lizzie Pinckney, drowned, Adolph Heiback,
drowned, Rena Watson and Dido Brown,
killed by falling houses. January Sweet
was also found on the island crushed by his
house, which was blown down upon him.
Verdicts in the above cases were rendered
in accordance with the facts.
The body of Mrs. Stokes was yesterday
morning found floating in the river near the
saw mill boom at the Hermitage and was
properly secured. The remains were sub
sequently removed to the residence at the
corner of Wilson and Stewart streets.
The body of Mrs. Stokes' little daughter
was discovered by some workmen yester
day afternoon at 4 o’clock, under the Cen
tral Railroad wharf, near the wef' rn end,
in proximity to the stern of the br g Ameri
can Union. Later In the eveni: g the re
mains were carried to tbe Exchange dock,
where they were taken in charge by the
Coroner.
The body of the other child had not been
discovered up to a late hour last night.
Near the Ferry dock, In the morning, the
bod? of Mr. Richard L. Fi’zgerald, the
engineer of the steamer H. B. Plant, wss
found floating In the river. It was at once
secured and towed up to the steamer Plant,
and placed on board. Tbe Inquest resulted
In the verdict of accidental drowning.
The flags on the steamer Plant, on the
steamship Saragossa and several other ves
sels were placed at half mast In respect to
his memory. Tbe deceased was universally
popular, and his sad and terrible death has
been very generally lamented.
TERRIBLE DESTRUCTION ON THE SMALL
ISLANDS.
We learn from a gentleman who lives on
one of the coast Islands, that on Hogg and
William Island some twenty houses, with
their colored occupants, were swept com
pletely away, and some thirty-five colored
people drowned. Six mules and horses and
other stock were lost, ana the rice crops
very materially damaged.
FOUR DROWNED AND ONE SAVED.
Boston Forrester, a colored man who
lives on the Warffig place, about four miles
from the city, lost his wife and three chil
dren. He was absent at the time, which
probably accounts for bis now being In the
land of the living. The house was occupied
by hts wife, three children and his mother
in-law, an aged woman. Tbe house was
blown over and carried with Its living oc
cupants iuto the raging, seething waters.
His wife and children were drowned, but
strange to 6ay the old woman was washed
back upon the shore and managed to save
herself.
IN SEARCH OF A LIGHTER, AND WHAT WAS
DISCOVERED.
Beveral gentlemen, whose lighter had
been carried off by the storm, hired a boat
yesterday and employed a man to row them
around to Back river. During their
search for the lighter,they saw on Hutchin
son’s Island beach, nearly opposite
Haskell's plantation, the bodies of
four colored women, a colored boy
and a colored man, which bad been washed
ashore at that point. They only went far
enough to secure their lighter, but are of
tbe opinion that had they gone further
other bodies would have been discovert il.
They also came across an old Italian fisher
man named Jacinto, whose hut had
been swept away. The old man
was nearly famished and very much ema
ciated, and his clothes were torn to shreds.
They brought the homeless old fisherman
to the city, where he was supplied with
clothes and food, and was then turned over
to a fellow countryman who offered to take
care of him.
A FLOATING HOUSE.
A colored man and his wife, who were
living In anew building on Rabbit Island,
were blown into the river with the house.
The building being strong held together, and
they were two hours In the house, and float
ed a distance of three miles before they
succeeded in reaching the shore, which they
finally accomplished without sustaining
much damage.
EIGHTEEN MORE BODIES FOUND.
The Coroner received information last
night, but at too late an hour to hold an
Inquest, that four more bodies had been
found on Hutchinson’s Island, all colored.
The body of Wm. Campbell, colored, who
was also drowned on the Island, was found
late In the evening floating in the river near
the Market dock, and was secured.
There are thirteen dead bodies on Fig
Island upon which inquests will be held to
day, and it la probable that many more will
be found, aa from nearly every plantation
on the river there have been cabins with
their colored occupants swept away. All
the huts on either side of tbe river, which
were owned and occupied by colored per
sons, have disappeared, and the fate of
their unfortunate occupants is no mystery.
GENERAL NOTES.
Woodward Barnwell, Esq , reports forty
negro?* missing from hla plantation near
this city.
A bark, partially dismasted, and with both
anchors gone, came Into Tvbee on Sunday.
She was blown off from Charleston bar and
had a pilot of that port aboard. She was
put ashore on the edge of Bt. Michael’s
shoals as she had no anchors.
The body of Engineer Fitzgerald was
found during the morning, and secured and
brought up to the wharf of the Plant.
The hydrant water Is very brackish, and
Is unfit for drinking purposes. It was very
salty on Sunday, and the taste still re
mains.
The roof of Qulnan’s Hibernian House
was lifted and dropped Into the yard In a
confused jumble. In Its descent It tore out
the window frames In a room where two of
Mr. Qulnan’s children were sleeping, scat
tering the debris over them, but fortunately
not injuring them.
The double tenement brick house on the
southeast corner of McDonough and Jef
ferson streets wag unroofed and flooded
with water. The comer house Is occupied
by Mrs. Kate Abrahams, and the other by
Mr. McCafferty.
The roof of Bernard & Kayton’s steam
pork packing house, near the Savannah,
Florida and Western Railway depot, was
lifted off, and some damage was sustained.
The firm had a force at work in the morn
ing, however, and by dark it was all right.
The skylight and roof of the photo
graphic gallery of Mr. D. J. Ryan were
awept away, and hla stock very seriously
damaged.
Only a portion of the cabin of the steam
er Carrie was blowu down. The hull and
deck were not Injured in the least, and re
mained steadfast on tbe ways.
Capt. Wm. Swoll had one of his finest
mules killed by a stable In his lot belog
blown down by the storm.
Capt. John, who runs a sloop on the
Savannah river, lost a valuable horse and
mule. The stable on his place, five miles
from the city on the Augusta road, was
blown down.
We learn that the store of Mr. Percey
Olinstead, at Cross Tides, was blown down
and his stock terribly injured.
A barn on Draker's place, nine miles
above the city, was blown down and a lot
of rice carried off.
Colonel Rutledge’s place on Back river
was very badly damaged, several buildings
having been prostrated and rice swept
away.
The revenue cutter Boutwell is still ashore
on McQueen’s Island, and will probably
have to be dug out. During the storm she
had both anchors dowu and both propellers
working, and would have ridden out the
gale in safety had not the pilot boat Neca,
which was drifting by, got her hawser afoul
of the steamer’s propeller, which disabled
her.
The extent of the damage to the rice crops
on the plantations along the river Is not yet
estimated, but it is thought to be very
heavy.
About one hundred tons of coal were
swept off of Taggart’s coal yard by the
storm.
About twenty tons of coal and twenty five
cords of wood, belonging to Mr. C. 11. Dix
on, the coal dealer, were blown overboard
during tbe storm, and the shed was leveled.
It is said that the loss of naval stores by
the storm amounts to about *25,000.
Some 500 casks of spirits were lost and a
large quantity of rosin.
The Norwegian bark Condor is lying
across Garden bank, near the foot of East
Broad street, with her stem stove in and
bowsprit carried away. A tug attempted to
drag her off yesterday morning, but did not
succeed.
The schooner M. K. Rawley had one of
her masts broken and sustained other
damage.
Both the masts of the pilot boat John R.
Wilder were broken off close to her deck.

THE GALE IN CHARLESTON
was attended with considerable destruction,
and was equally as severe as the great atorm
of 1874. The Eetoi and Courier says:
“In tbe eastern and southern parts of tbe
city many wharves were damaged. The sec
tion east of East Bay, between Laurens aDd
Calhoun streets, including some dozen
squares, was submerged to the depth of sev
eral feet. Tne B ittery was also submerged,
the water running along Bouth Bay in a
stream. The made lands in the southwest
ern portion of the city were also under
water. Roofs and window blinds were blown
off, and trees, lences and gates blown down
in various parts of the city. The shipping
in tbe harbor being warned of the storm,
rode it out safely. Communication with Mt.
Pleasant and Sulllvau’s Island was cut off,
and the telegraph wires were so damaged
that It was necessary to take the dispatches
at Summerville and bring them to the city
by rail. A colored sailor of the sloop
C audla was drowned just off the pier at
Bennett’s Mill.
THE “SEMINOLE,” FBOM SAVANNAH, HEARD
tbom.
The steamship George W. Clyde, of the
Clyde Line, arrived at Charleston at half
past seven o’clock Sunday evening from
New York, having encountered the gale In
all its fury ; but belog a very staunch ves
sel and sufficiently freighted to place
her in good sea trim, she rode out
tbe storm successfully, aDd escaped with
out injury of any kind. Captain
L. W. Pennington reports having left New
York about 4 p. m. Wednesday with wind
southwest, and continuing in that direction
until 7 p. ra., when It shifted to the north
east, increasing gradually. There was no
change of note until the ship passed Hat
teras about 4 a. m. Friday, when the wind
veered to east northeast, and Increased to
a moderate gale. At 7p. m. Friday, when
off Cape Fear, the wind, beiDg still east
northeast, increased to a hurricane, when it
was found impossible to run the ship any
longer before the wind, and she was hauled
off shore and hove to, heading east south
east. During this time was In company
with a steamship supposed to be the Bern
inole, of tbe Savannah and Boston Line,
evidently bound North. The hurricane
lasted for about twenty-four hours, and
during its height, which was from lUo’clock
Friday night until Saturday about 2 p. m.,
was of extraordinary violence.
Under the head “The Saddest Event of
the Storm,” the \eu>* and Courier announces
the drowning of Mr. Thomas P. Lesesne,
the youngest son of ex Chancellor Henry D.
Lesesne, off East Battery on Saturday night,
which cast a gloom over the entire commu
nity. Mr. Lesesne was employed aa
bookkeeper at the Charleston Hydraulic
Cotton Press. He went with a party of
friends dowu to the Battery to witness the
dashing of the waves over tbe east sea
wall. Tbe partr consisted of Messrs.
Wm. and Frank Hayne, Harry Geddings,
John Ravenel and Edward Kavenel.
While they were talking Mr. Lesesne sud
denly disappeared, and was next seen in
the water. It is supposed while walking on
tbe parapet he lost hit balance and fell
over. Every effort was made to save him,
but to no avail.
Several colored men were drowned on
James Island at the Elisto Phosphate Com
pany’s works.
There were reported off the Charleston
bar, Saturday evening, the steamships Cle
opatra, from Baltimore, and Equator, from
Philadelphia, and as these steamers were all
exposed to tbe violence of the storm their
arrival was looked for with some anxiety.
SULLIVAN’S ISLAND.
The storm burst upon the island on Satur
day morning tn Its full force. Mile 6of
fencing were blown to the ground and other
damage done, but fortunately no lives lost.
The handsome residence of Mr. J. H. Stein
tneyer is undermined, and is in a dangerous
condition. The residences of Maj. Huguenln,
Col. Yates, Mr. Catbcart, Mr. Henry O’Neill,
Mr. Von Kolnitx and Mr. Wayne are also
undermined, and all more or less damaged
Three flats loaded with stone for the jet
ties were sunk in the cove where they were
anchored. The loss falls upon the contract
ors, Messrs. Dolby <& Bangs. The residence
*f Mr. Wayne was the worst damaged of
the houses on the Island, It being In
fact almost completely demolished. A
portion of tbe roof of the Catholic Church
was blown away and several of the windows
broken. All In all, It Is thought that *30,000
will scarcely cover the loss on the Island.
A large number of ladies and children en
camped in the fort on Saturday night, quar
ters having been fitted up for them by the
officer In charge of tbe government prop
erty.
APPALLING DISASTER.
Port Royal 8. C , August 29. —On ac
count of the storm, the ferryman at the Port
Royal Ferry could not convey passengers
across the river. They were In the ferry
house awaltlDg an abatement of tbe gale,
when tbe structure was carried away by the
high tide. Beven bodies were recovered to
day. The number actually drowned Is uncer
tain ts rumors conflict, varying from twenty
to forty.
Considerable damage was done to the
Coosaw Mining Company in Coosaw river,
but no lives were lost. The damage to the
Port Royal Railroad is slight.

We would suggest that there be a general

authorities also open the fire plugs, so that
tbe water will be got rid of as soon as possi
ble. This is the only way to get the water
out of the pipes, and obtain In a short time
a supply of pure fresh water.

Reports from Neighboring Town*.
Oar correspondent at Fleming, on the
Savannah, Florida and Wcateru Railway,
sends us tbe following: “Tbe storm (wind
and rain) commenced about 9 or 9:30 I’. M ,
on the 27tb, blowing from the
north, and then shifting to east lat
terly, and blew wlih great violence
until about midnight, when It brgau to
abate. Great deatiuctlou Is reported on
Colonel's Island and all aloug the road from
here to the coast. One colored woman and
three children were crushod to death, and
two colored womuu crippled. About ten
colored famllee ou the Island are house
less, almost every outhouse and all
fencing blown down and numberless trees.
Crops are no doubt much damaged. Many
outhouses and most of the fencing is down,
and of the turpentine trees boxed there Is
estimated to be oue tenth standing. At Mr.
Terry’s still, two and a half miles away,
eight shanties were broken in by tree*. Oue
man was slightly hurt. I hear that the
damage Is fearful near Crossroads, about
eleven miles from here. The colored
academy, anew building at Midway, is
down. Trees are literally plaited across tbe
roads.”
A sloop at Half Moon Bluff, belonging to
Thos. Houlihan, of this city, is reported
blown up on to the land, high and dry.
Her rudder Is broken, but there Is no other
apparent damage. The storm is reported
to have been much heavier on the coast
than here. The turpentine farms are con
sidered a total loss In this vicinity.
Our correspondent “C,” at Egypt, under
dat* of 29th instant, says: “Tbe stiff gale
which blew so tremendous here from Friday
until Sunday, reached Its heighth about
midnight Saturday night, and did considera
ble damage to the cotton, which was open
and unpicked, blowing it out and all over
the fields and the rain washing It In the
ground. Fencing was mostly laid to the
ground, and many a stately old pine yielded
Its masterly growth and came level with the
earth. No loss of life yet heard of around
here. Am very sorry to hear of the vast
destruction in and around Savannah. Rain
ing again now.”
The following particulars of the damage
done In that locality are received from the
News correspondent at Jesnp: “A severe
storm visited this place on the night of tbe
27th Inst., entirely demolishing the Colored
Methodist Episcopal Church and Riley
Johnson’s kitchen, blowing off the front
gable end of John Massey’s store, wetting
about *7OO worth of goods. Dr. Little’s
doors were blown open, and almost his en
tire stock of general merchandise was dam
aged by the rain. The wind also took tbe
tin roof off of one wing of tbe Altamaha
Hotel, and Injured several other buildings
slightly. From parties coming from tbe
country this morning we learn the roads
are in a deplorable condition, being almost
blocked with trees. Beveral of the few
shade trees In town are blown down.’’
A Visit to ITlonticello.
University of Virginia, August 24.
Editor Morning Newt: It was my pleasure,
some days ago, In company with a number
of my fellow law students and a bevy of
charming ladies, to visit Monticello Moun
tain, whereon is situate the once fami’y
residence of Mr. Jefferson. Close by, in a
modest country burying ground, a plain
stone monument uninscribed (or if ever in
scribed now obliterated by tbe hand of time)
marks the last earthly resting place of that
learned scholar, dietlnfished statesman
and noble gentleman Thomas Jefferson.
Monticello (the residence beariDg the
same name as the mountain, which is
the Italian for beautiful mountain),
It situate about three and a half miles from
the University by Indirect road leading
thereto. The house Is built on the extreme
point of the mountain, and from the lawn
In front Is to be obtained a perfect view of
the surrounding country far as the eye can
reach for three points of the compass
north, east and west. The south view Is
shut In by a mountain somewhat higher
than Monticello, upon the side of which Is
a flourishing vineyard. Grander scenery than
meets the eye on either hand It has never
been my pleasure to behold. To the right
(east) stretches out an almost perfectly level
country (peculiar Indeed for this section),
looking like a mighty sea, not stirred by
even a ripple.
To the left (west) for a couple of miles di
rect is a rolling country, spotted with hand
some farms. Near at band is Charlottes
ville plainly visible from among the trees.
Further on are the splendidly picturesque
University grounds, with Its many Imposing
buildings, and just beyond is range after
range of wood covered mountains. To the
north from where 1 stand,lookir g to be scarce
more than five miles distant, but in truth
forty five or fifty, is a hollow in the moun
tain range. This, lam told, is the Valley
of Virginia. One needs to see this scenery
for himself in order that he may appreciate
It fully. How unlike our modern houses Is
this one of which Mr. Jefferson him6elf
was the architect. Octagonal tn shape, with
very large rooms and wide halls, and the
narrowest stair cases, only broad enough to
allow one to ascend or descend at a time,
the floor of polished oak and mahogany,
high ceilings and heavy oaken doors, all to
gether Impressing one very much with the,
to us, quaiotness of our ancestral tastes.
Tbe servants’ quarters and other outbuild
ings made of rough stone, are near by, fast
going to decay for lack of use and repair.
About a quarter of a mile distant Is the bu
rying ground before referred to. Here,
side by side, the several members of his
family lie buried. Many of his descendants
have, from time to time, been Interred here.
An air of neglect and forgottenness seems
attached to this sacred spot. Whose fault
It is I know not. This ought not to be.
Soon the evening shades apprise us of
approaching night, and we hie us to our re
spective carriages and are homeward bound,
where In due season, refreshed, instructed
and pleased,we arrive and disperse. I may
here remark that in the college grounds Is
a house which was occupied by Mr. Madi
son, who succeeded Mr. Jefferson here, as
he did In the Presidency of the United
States. It is in a retired part of the
grounds, and has no striking appearance.
The University of Virginia Is a splendid
institution for the diffusion of knowledge to
the young men of our country, and a living
monument to Its distinguished founders.
Our law class Is now deep into remainders,
legacies and pleading, and lest your corres
pondent prove himself on tbe morrow shal
low In all these topics, he brings this epistle
to an end. Jno. W. W.

THS RAILROAD COMMISSION.
The Savannah, Florida and West
ern Appear and Ak an luereaae
of Itatea.
The Savaunah, Florid* ud Western Hall
way wn again before the Railroad Commis
sion yesterday asking for an Increase of
rates. The road was represented by Col.
Haines aud Messrs. Tsylor and liardte,
with Captain Kingsbury, the attorney, while
Mr. John Triplett and Dr. Btegall, of
Tboruasvlllu, and Mr. Rountree, of Qutt
nian, appeared for the people.
Beuators Denmark, Westbrook, King and
Harrell, aud Representatives Hammond,
Spence, Harrold, Arrington, Bapp and Sweat
were also present, and participated in the
gen< ral discussion that was Indulged In.
The proceedings were begun by Colonel
Halnt-s, who read a paper showing that the
Increase In cost or ties, fuel, wages, and
everything connected with the running of
railroads, had been greatly Increased within
the past year, but that the road’s rates had
been decreased. While the volume of busi
ness was much greater now than a year ago,
and thus a larger gross revenue was shown,
the road’s expenses were much more
proportionately.
Colonel Hammond thought the people of
Thomasvllie were willing to let the road
charge fifty five cents per hundred on cot
ton to Savannah, and had heard some ex
press a willingness to allow the road an ad
vance of fifty per cent, on “standard” rates
on other things.
Mr. Spence thought that cotton rates
were high enough now. His constituents
wanted the Commissioners to fix rates and
not the railroads. They wanted the Com
mission.
Senator Denmark knew his entire con
stituency favored the Commission, and
would stand by its decision, but thought if
Increased rates were needed to build up a
road they cught to be granted.
Representative Harrell thought Batn
bridge would favor an Increase of rates if
Colonel Haines said It was necessary, and
that they favored the Commission.
Colonel Barnett said the Commission was
anxious to hear the views of the people
along the Savannah, Florida and Western
Railroad, and supposed their representatives
could do so, and he wished to hear from all
present.
Representative Sapp, Mr. Triplett and Dr.
Stegall, of Thomasville, wanted the North
ern travel to come to their place. Their
people were willing to give the road In
creased rates, if the road demanded It, to
Improve the road bed and pay dividends.
That everybody would sustain the Commis
sion, and had always been in favor of its
continuance.
Mr. Rountree, of Quitman, said his peo
ple strongly favored the Commission, and
wanted them to give the road high rates to
Improve It and pay dividends to its owners.
Mr. Spence thought cotton should not
pay all the increase.
Colonel Haines said he did not care upon
what the Increase fell if he could get the
total revenue he desired.
Representative Sweat said his section
paid very little of the revenue of the road,
and would indorse any action of the Com
mission in increasing rates If Colonel Halnea
thought it was right.
Mr. Harrell agreed with the others, that
the Commission would be sustained in any
action It took, and if the road needed an in
crease he supposed the Commission would
grant what was right.
The Commission heard the various gen
tlemen with the greatest attention, but have
not yet made public their decision. — Atlanta

THE MOKNING NEWS TRADE
EDITION.
mammoth Issue ou September 3d.
1881.
The past year has been unprecedented in
the history of our city. Her general busi
ness, which has heretofore languished In
the summer months, has continued through
the entire year. Nearly 900,000 bales of
cotton have been received at this port dur
ing the season just closed, and we bave
every reason to expect that these figures
will be Increased during the coming year to
over 1,00'),000. A like large Increase In
receipts has taken place in naval stores,
rice and timber, and other principal pro
ducts. This improvement In trade has
affected all interests, and our merchants,
mechanics, and business men generally,
have been benefited by it. With such a
retrospect we may confidently predict a
prosperous fall and winter trade.
The annual review of the markets for the
commercial year will be Issued on Satur
day, September 3d, and we propose to make
this edition a special feature, the same as
was done last year, and which met with such
a decided support from our enterprising
merchants. The review will be presented
In the form of a mammoth eight-page sheet,
and in size and make up will surpass any
thing of the kind which has ever been pub
lished in the cotton growing States.
It will comprise a summary of
the business of the city during the
previous twelve months, Including its mer
cantile interests in all their various branches,
and also a resume of Its shipping and com
mercial news for that period. This Issue of
the Morning Nbws will be one which every
citizen, whether a business man or not, will
take pride in sending abroad as an evidence
of the prosperity of his city and section in
which he lives, and will give to those who
have never before examined into the matter
a proper appreciation of Savannah’s Impor
tance as the commercial emporium of the
two most progressive States In the Southern
section of the American Union.
The Trade Issue of the Morning News,
In addition to being sent to all the dally
subscribers by carrier and mail, will be
mailed to every subscriber to the Tri-
Weekly News, the Weekly News and
the Southern Farmer'* Monthly, which, with
the copies sent out to addresses furnished
us by our advertisers, will give it an aggre
gate circulation of 20,000 to 25,000 copies
among 100,000 people who look to the
Morning News for information on all sub
jects, and who represent the purchasing
interest of their localities.
This edition will thus find its way Into
every household In the Immense area of
country directly tributary to Savannah, and
at a time when the people have means to
purchase and are buying supplies for the
fall and winter, and when an advertisement
will have the effect of a direct communica
tion from the merchant to the buyer.

DKATII IN THE DESERT.
A Proßpecior’a illlaucl.oly End lu
the mountain of the Holy Cron*.
Leadvitle Chronicle.
A sorrowful story, but one that may
have any number of unrecorded paral
lels in the history of the mountains,
comes from the Iloly Cross district.
Last week a party of Gold Park miners
started up Turkey creek, south of Battle
Mountain, on a tour of pleasure and in
vestigation. Near the head of the
creek the country is wildly pic
turesque, and no human feet
have yet explored it thoroughly. The
land here rises in a gradual ascent to the
west until it kisses the clouds in the ma
jestic peaks of Holy Cross. In no place
is it level, but broken by canons and cut
by tortuous gorges carved in some pre
historic glacial age, while the tiny
patches of bottom laDd are covered with
verdure and spangled with wild flowers.
A more lovely spot nature could not have
fashioned in her most winsome mood,
each turn revealing some new beauty,
forever buried and forever enchanting.*
By some strange incongruity of circum
stances, here it was the that party found
a scene replete with a sadness that words
fail to define. At the head of one of
the gulches, half hidden by a gigantic
accumulation of bowlders, knitted to
gether by the roots of the pine trees that
found sustenance between them, was a
little cabin. It was so crude, so simple,
and so rough of workmanship,
that it seemed part of na
ture’s self and placed there when
the trees and rocks and mountains
came. It was, indeed, only noticed by
the sheerest of chance as the prospec
tors passed up the canon, but once seen
they resolved to pay it a visit and see if
anyone lived in the vicinity. It was
reached by a half obliterated trail and
appeared to be deserted. The party
were surprised and halt frightened,
when, upon pulling open the door, they
saw the prostrate form of a man extend
ed on the rude bunk. At first they
thought he was dead, but as they ap
proached the bunk they saw from the
fluttering motion of the chest that life still
lingered. The body was that of a man
about 40, partially dirobed, and the eyes
closed. On his breast, tightly clutched
in one of his hands, was a tiny Catholic
prayer book, stamped on the back with
a gold cross, and well worn. Shocked
beyond words, they endeavored to restore
the man to consciousness. His livid
hue, his sunken cheeks, and all. bore
witness to the fact that he had been
stricken down by some disease, as he
appeared to have fainted from exhaus
tion. In a few minutes he regained his
consciousness, and began to talk in al
most audible tones. From what he said
it was learned that he had been workmg
some claims about, a quarter of a mile
below the cabin, and had caught a severe
cold. It had grown upon him until, at
last, he was barely able to he about, and
his lungs became vary sore. In this con
dition he had ventured to visit the prop
erty down the gulch, and was there taken
very sick. It was only with the utmost
difficulty and after an hour of painful
exertion that he reached his cabin and
crawled into his hunk. This was the day
before the party arrived, and during the
night a swift congestion of the lungs
had set in. At the time he was discov
ered this had progressed so far that, even
were tbe best physicians at hand, it was
easy to see that he was beyond mortal
aid. Realizing that the great destroyer
was at hand, he had managed to get his
prayer book down from a shelf at the
opposite side of the room, and resolved
to die with a supplication to God on his
lips. The cabin was far from any neigh
bors, and he gave up all hope of seeing
human faces again while, in a desolation
that forever beggars words, he lay dying
there.
He said that his name was Charles
Henderson, and that his home was at
Cincinnati, 0., and left a few brief in
structions as to whom to write to. He
originally came to the Holy Cross, com
ing here from Golden about five months
since. Even as he spoke the poor fel
low grew visibly weaker and still weaker,
and toward evening sank in to uncon
sciousness again. In this way, as the
day moved away and died, his life went
out, and when night came it was a corps
that the men tenderly straightened on
the clumsy bunk. In the morning they
buried him close at hand,in the sunniest,

Another “Threat” for the New York
“Times” to Consider.
Wilmington Every Evening.
The New York Times treats as a
“threat” every warning from any Demo
cratic source concerning the danger to
the national debt from the present
damnable conspiracy to force the negroes
of Virginia into a repudiation party.
What does it think of the warning of
General Wickham. He says plainly that
Readjnster success in Virginia will en
courage assault upon and endanger the
credit of the United States, and adds the
startling statement that the Readjuster
candidate for Attorney General declared
no longer than a year ago for a “vigorous
application of readjustment principles to
the national debt.”
Is this a threat? If it is not, what is
it? Yet it does not seem to have at
tracted the attention and denunciation
of the Times. We will indulge our
selves in a “warning,” which the Times
may regard as a threat if it chooses, and
that warning is, that if the wealthy Re
publicans of the North and East choose
to make up a purse this year to secure a
repudiation success in Virginia, simply
because they will take that risk to grati
fy their insane hatred of Democrats,
then they may fight their battles for
themselves when the inevitable conse
quence comes in the shape of a contest
between them and their new allies over
the national debt. If this country has
to go to the devil we had just as leave
have it go over the cobblestones of rum
as down the shiny path of hypocrisy.
Robbed by a Trusted Friend. —Mrs.
Mary F. Pinner, a wealthy widow, of
New York, who is at present sojourning
at Hanover, Germany, has just written
to her attorney in that city, acquainting
him with the fact that a trusted agent
and traveling companion recently robbed
her of $16,000 worth of elevated railroad
securities and bonds of New York city
and Brooklyn. The New Y T ork Times
says: “The victimized lady’s husband
was P. William Pinner, of the firm of
Pings & Pinner, importers of kid gloves,
against whom the United States Gov
ernment began a suit not long ago for
the recovery of $680,000, on the ground
of fraudulent importations.”

Mrs. Garfield os a Breadmaker.
The late number of the Student, a little
paper published by the students of Hiram
College, quotes an extra* t from a letter
written hv Mrs. Garfield 10 her husband
over ten years ago, and intended for no
eyes but his It fell into the hands of
President Hindsdale, who made use of it
in a lecture to the students, and, as it
showed the qualities of Mrs. Gar
field’s mind and her opinions
upon the subject of woman's work, he
gave it to the students. The extract
is as follows: “lam glad to tell that
out of all the toil and disappointments
of the summer just ended, I have risen
up to a victory; that silence of thought
since you have been away has won for
ray spirit a triumph. I read something
like this the other day: ‘There is uo
healthy thought without labor, and
thought makes the labor happy. ’ Perhaps
this is the way I have been able to climb
up higher. It came to me one morning
when 1 was making bread. I said
to myself: ‘Here 1 am compelled
by an inevitable necessity to make
our bread this summer. Why not
consider it a pleasant occupation, and
make it so by trying to see what perfect
bread I can make? It seemed like an
inspiration, and the whole of life grew
brighter. The very sunshine seemed
floating down through my spirit into the
white loaves, and now I believe my table
is furnished with better bread than ever
before; and this truth, old as creation,
seems just now to have become fully
mine—that I need not be the shrinking
slave of toil, but its regal master, mak
ing whatever I do yield me its best
fruits.
“You have been king of your work so
long that may be you will laugh at me
for having lived so long without my
crown, hut I am too glad to have found
it at all to be entirely disconcerted even
by your merriment. Now, I wonder if
right here does not lie the terrible
wrong, or at least some of it,
of which the woman suffragists com
plain. The wroDgly educated woman
thinks her duties a disgrace, and frets
under them, or shirks them if she can.
She sees man triumphantly pursuing his
vocations, and thinks it is the kind of
work he does which makes him grand
and regnant; whereas it is not the kind
of work at all but the way in which and
the sjjirit with which he does it.”
