Little, of the revenue steamer Boutwell, was tn the city Monday ia charge of a boat’s crew for the purpose of takieg provisions to that vessel, having procured which he returned to the vessel. It is well tha' the debris from the streets is being removed rapidly. The leaves of the prostrate trees are already decaying, and it is partieu’ariy important at this junc ture that the streets should be kept per fectly clean. The telegraph company and the city au thorities are rapidly rebuilding the tele graph, telephone ar.d tire alarm wires.

Bbe reports haying ex perienced a yery pleasant trip. „ .♦■ Tbe City Point Damaged. The fine steamer City Point, which left Jacksonville for Charleston on Sunday night, put into this port yesterday morning, and came up to the city, having lost her starboard wheel. On Monday after noon, about five o’clock, when off Sapelo, the accident occurred. The sea was cot rough, nor had she encountered any 6tvere weather. It is presumed the accident oc curred from some portion of the machinery giving away. The wheel, being of iron, immediately sank, and was not recovered. She continued on her voyage, however, but the wind freshening up considerably, and tbe sea becoming very rough, the Captain deemed it advisable to put into this port. She made the passage to this city, it is stated. Just as quick as she would have done with two wheels. The steamer will leave this morning for her destination. The Unii Hiorui-Pull Parllculare. Notwithstanding the very large extra editions of the Morning News containing accounts of the great cyclone, which have been exhausted, the demand is not satisfied, and hundreds of inquiries have been made for tbe first day’s record. We would state now for the benefit of all such that tbe Weekly News, which will be issued to morrow, wilt contain a full and accurate revised account of the ravages of tbe storm and other particulars of interest. Copies may be obtained at the office in wrappers for mailing. Mr. Julius Hoffstadt, Madison, lud., bears hearty testimony to the wonderful cure by Bt. Jacobs Oil, of bis wife, who suffered ter ribly with rheumatism. Permanent relief followed 11s use. Bargain* In Bummer Clothing and ILata to be had at fi Heldt’s.— Adw. ECHOES OF THE TEMPEST* HASTE AND DEATH ON LAND, DISASTER ON THE DEEP. Sad Havoc at While BlulT-Wlld Work of the Storm in the Rural Districts—TbrUllnc Tale# from th# Ocean. Tbe following additional particulars in regard to the ravages of the destructive storm of the 27th will be read with melan choly Interest. The loss of life and prop erty has been fearful. The number of col ored people drowned Is estimated at 300, and will probably not fall ahort of that number. The damage by the storm to property folly equals a million and a half dollars: TUB DESTRUCTION AT WHIT* BLUFF. The accounts we have received of the effects of the hurricane at White Bluff fail to give an idea of tbe actual devasta tion occasioned. The following informa tion we gleaned from one of the residents, who was present during the entire storm, and who came to the city on Monday last. T. L. Kinsey’s,bathhouse washed entirely away, h's fine orchard ruined, all pear and apple trees down: the splendid hennery on the place was ruined by heavy trees falling over the various departments; all the fenc ing down and trees broken, uprooted or prostrated. At M. Y. Henderson’6 the fences down, bath house gone. At Mrs. Converse’s the fences down, fruit trees prostrated, shade trees and garden a wreck, but the bath house remained and is the only one re maining on the bluff. At Mr. Horace Remshart’s the fine avenue of oaks is almost obliterated, every one of the trees is flat, the splendid garden in front, upon which much pains and expense had been devoted, was covered with salt water, and is irremevably ruined. His bath house and platform is a fearful wreck, only the posts remaining. At Mr. George Cornwell’s the tide swept over the bluff and came into the bouse, flooding the basement waist deep, and the furni ture floated about and was badly injured. The upper part of the house was drenched with water, the scuttle having blown off. There were some seventy head of chickens ia the coops in the yard which were drowned by the rising tide, and their dead bodies were floated in through the basement rooms, the windows and doors of which were blown out. His bath house was lifted up and carried a distance of nearly seventy five yards and landed almost intact be tween Mr. W. S. Rockwell’s and D. Y. Dan cy’s place*. Mr. Dancy’s new house is almost com plete’y ruined, and the household furniture badly damaged. The tin root was carried completely off, and the water, causing the ceilings to give way, the rooms were liter ally deluged with plaster and rain, and everything placed in a terrible mess. All the fences, shrubbery and trees were blown down. Mr. Rockwell’s house was not seriously injured, the only damage being occasioned by the water beating in. His fences were all broken down, and all tbe trees. At the Oliver place, occupied by Mr. R. F. Harmon, the stable was blown down, killing a fine cow and injuring bis horse, but not eeriousiy. The fencing was blown down, and the bluff was washed oat fully twenty feet. The beautiful grove of large oak just be tween Mr. Harmon’s and Mr. Rockwell’s Is a pitiable sight. Only two of the trees are standing, the others being torn op by the roots, the splendid branches wrenched off, and the grove a terrible scene of rain and desolation. Tbe While Bluff Orphanage, under the charge of the Sisters of Mercy, suffered ter ribly. The large upper piazza was blown down and tbe pillars carried off. All the fencing around tbe place was prostrated. The windows were smashed In by falling limbs, but the house was not materially in jured. The large bath house, one of the best on the i?land, entirely disappeared, and only a few damaged pile* remain to mark th* spot where once it stood. All the trees about the premises are down, aid the blnff is terribly washed. At Mr. Wm. Neyle Habersham’s place the fine grape arbor and orchard are blown down, the splendid trees upon which so much care had been bestowed are down. The new and hand*ome yacht, recently ordered out by Mr. R. B. Habersham, and which was lying near the bath house, had her bottom stove in and was otherwise badly damaged. There is no sign of the bath house, which was in position ou Saturday, having disap peared during tbe night. The adjoining place to the Habersham*, and belonging to that estate, but which was formerly owned by John F. Tucker, is also in the came condition. The houses remain standing, but are more or less injured, and the windows are smashed, all the fine cedars blown down, the bluff washed out and the bath house destroyed. Mr. Ingraham Kensey, who lives about a quarter of a mile in the rear of the bluff, euffere 1 greatly. HiJ large aGd splendid orchard was badly damaged, the fruit blown from the trees and many of the trees en tirely blown down. Tbe stable was blown down, killing a very valuable horse and se riously injuring another. Tbe outhouses, trees and fencing ou the place were also blown down. A number of small houses, mostly occu pied by colored people, were blown down, and in fact the devastation is general. Amidst all the wreck and ruin at the place, we are gratified to state that no human lives were lost. On Sacday and Monday the bluff was fi led with marsh hens, and hundreds were slaughtered by the residents with sticks and air rifles. Several who had been boarding at the bluff came to the city on Monday evening, as soon as conveyances could be obtained, and we understand many of tbe house owners are making arrangements to return to the city. The beauty and attrac tiveness of the bluff aie marred. Mr. W. W. Chisholm, who own? the house formerly the property of Mr. M. R. Cohen, was also a heavy sufferer, th ugh the main bouse was not very badly injured. The ba’h bouse, fencing, trees, outbuilding* and shrubbery are gone. The residences on the bluff were only saved from destruction by the occupants barring the doors and windows. BRTAN NECK. We learn from a gentleman who arrived here yesterday morning that the destruc tion by the storm at KiUkarney, Bryan Neck, wa? simply fearful. The residence of Mr. J. W. Butler was terribly damaged, and the out houses were blown away. The residence of Dr. Johnson was com pletely turned over, and the family had a very narrow escape from being killed, but fortunately escaped with slight Injuries. Mr. Kaymon’s house was destroyed, and he lost everything he possessed, save what he and his family had on. Mr. Samuel Butler was equally unfortu nate. In fact the devastation is complete and tbe residents are in a fearful plight, euff*rlng for several days for water and food. Mr. Brown and Mr. Strickland, who were proceeding to Klllkarny in a boat on Bat urday afternoon, encountered the gale and were capsized. They managed to seize on the bottom of the boat, to which they clung with the tenacity born of despair. They remained In this painful and perilous posi tion the whole of that terrible Saturday night, and wbeu rescued on Bunday morn ing were thoroughly exhausted and almost dead. THE RICE PLANTATIONS. We hear that the rice plantations on the Altimaba have not been seriously iujured, and the losses will be trifling. Tbe river bank of the Queensbury plan tation, owned by Dr. Paul Pritchard, was broken in five places, and one hundred acres of rice, cut and stacked in tbe field, was swept entirely awav. Tbe remainder of tbe plantation, comprising about two hundred acres, la flooded with salt water. Seven negro cabins were blown down, and the cccupacts more or less Injured. One valuable large bull was drowned, but tbe stock were quickly turced loose and Im mediately fled to the highlands and escaped death, ell the fencing around the placets down, and It is estimated the lose will not fall short off 10,000. On tbe Mackay’s Point plintation, owned by Dr. J. J. Waring, the salt water has lit erally burned out the young rice, and the grass, weeds and blackberry bushes. The rice crop, however, Is all good, and Is com paratively uninjured, aud will be harvested in a few days. TTBEE ISLAND. The tug Winpenny, Capt. Fleetwood, went to Tybee yesterday with a number of those interested In the Island (some of whom had been there during the storm and who had left suddenly on Sunday), for tbe purpose of looking after their effects, and having them ready for the steamer which Is lo go down to-day or to-morrow. The Winpenny got back at eight o’clock last night, and reports everything all right, and that th>“ household goods are being con veyed to the river front ao as to be ready to move. A THRILLING STOUT is told of a young married lady who was swept aw.y into Beacon pond, aud who saved herself and her little slater by pad dlieg on a log until she got to the bills on tbe opposite side, aud when she was fouud In the morning by a relief party, headed by Captain Torrent, she was up In a tree on the hUI where stands the grave of Alex. McKen zie, at the point where the road starts to cross Beacon pond. OTHER INCIDENTS. During tbe storm the house occupied by Mr. D. R. Kennedy, on the front beach, just where the railroad makes the turn to wards the hotel, was blowu down. The oc cupants, among whom were those who had been in the house occupied by Mr. E. A. Abbottr and also Mrs. Solomon and her son, both of whom were injured, making nine teen all told, sought the attic for safety whilst the gale lasted. To the exertions of Messrs- Kennedy anti Abbott the party at tribute their salvation. Mr. E. F. Neufville, who was at his resi dence on the island during the storm, is still atTybee. His hou?e was not injured. Mr. Ybanes, Mr. McVeigh and Mr. He mans, the hotel keepers, are still at their poets, doing all they c an to assist those who are still on tbe Island. Among the poorer people there Is a great need of provisions and clothes, as they lost everything in the storm. TH* CITT OF MACON 9AF*. A dispatch to General G. M. Sorrel, agent of tbe Ocean Steamship Company, reports that the steamship City of Macon was at Sandy Hook at 3 p. m. yesterday. The steamer passed out of Tybee just before the cyclone of Saturday, and fears were enter tained for her safety, but from thii it ap pears that she must have run out of tbe course of tbe storm, as she made her usual time. THE REVENUE LAUNCH “DISCOVER” The Discover, which was anchored at the foot of East Broad street on Saturday night, passed through the storm safely, but received rough usage after her anchors were carried away. Yesterday morning steam was raised, coal taken on board, and, under instructions from the Collector of Customs, she took on board the Deputy Collector, Mr. Porter, Special Agent of the Treasury, Maj. Weeks, also provisions and water for the sufferers at Fort Pulaski and Long Island lights, and left the city to Inspect the lighthouses and see what assistance they required. Arriving at the fort, the people were found in a destitute condition, having lost their houses and their contents. During the flood the water rose several feet, and threat ened entire destruction to the structure. After extending the necessary relief, the Discover proceeded to the rear of Fort Pulaski and communicated with tbe revenue cutter Boutwell, which Is still high and dry on the marsh. ANOTHER VICTIM. Mr. James F. Vinciguerra went to Back river yesterday to look alter bis fishing flats, nets, etc., and while there discovered the body of a colored man known as Tom Max well in the marsh. He is supposed to have been drowned in the storm of Saturday night. Maxwell wanted to work for Mr._ V., and was told to go over to the flats,” then over on Back river, and nothing more was heard from him until yesterday, when his body was found. HOW THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED IN TH* RIVER. C*pL Guptill, of the tchooner May Morn, which was lying at the wharf of the Savan nah, Florida and Western Railroad on Sat urday night, and which was collided with and terribly damaged, makes the following report: “About 8:30 on Saturday night, the mate and one man were on the shore getting out the end of tbe port chain when the schooner Ada Fuller struck us on the starboard bow. Tbe Fuller then swung round, taking the May’s jibboom off, and then was blown into the marsh, where she remained. The schooner Nancy Smith then struck the May in tbe stern, carring away her davits and boat and catting her starboard quarter near the house, parting our head fasts and pulling out piles from the stern :*ast, which drove the May ahead, her bowsprit strik ing the schooner Ada Fuller on her port bow and piercing through her bow under the forward deck, and remained in that position, all of the May’s headgear being carried away. A square-rigged vessel next ran into the May, striking her amidships anl then backed off, and was carried up the river. The schooner John B. Adams next struck the May, her jibboom striking the May's main mast, carrying it away in the saddle, tbe foremast and foretopmast, which earne down on the deck by the run. The Captain let go her port anchor and the vessel swung around. The schooner Island City struck tbe May in the stern, doing more damage and leaving our vessel a total wreck and full of water. Bea man James Ramon* had h:s aide hurt quite badly, and Ned RouUton bad hla thigh hurt by a falling spar.” GENERAL NOTE*. At the Savannah Brick Company’s property the large barn was blown down, and 600,000 green bricks destroyed, besides brick sheds, etc. The loss is estimated at about $2,300. The revenue launch Discover, on its re turn from the scenes of distress down the river, stopped alongside of the cteamer City of Savannah and received on board the purser and four passengers. Also com municated with the revenue cutter Bout well, and brought to this city Lieut. John H. Little, of that, vessel, for the purpose of procuring a supply of provisions, and will return to the Boutwell to day. A gentleman who came here or a sloop yesterday Jfrom Beaufort repor having seen the bodies of three negroet 11 jatlng down the river near Fort Jaekrou. The body of Mr. Richard R Fitzgerald, of the steamer Piant, was carried to Jack sonville for interment on the early train yesterday morning. The Presbyterian Church at Waltbour ville was blown down. The German bark Julie, leading timber at the Big House on New river, opposite Sa vannah, was blown by the storm Into the marsh, where she was left hard and fast, when the storm water receded about one third of a mile from the river. Carpenters are as scarce as tin men. Rev. Henry W. Cleveland and family had to spend Saturday night in a shed, and the house still leans too much to shut a door. The roof of the store and dwelling occupied by Capt. James A. Barron, on Montgomery, near AnJereod street, was entirely blown off during the gale, and the store flooded with water,dam aging the stock to such an extent as to al most ruin It. This is a very heavy loss to Capt. Barron, and he is illy able to sustain it. His fencing, beautiful trees, etc., were all destroyed. Capt. Jim has done many valuable services for the city, and any as slrtance that is rendered him will be well bestowed. A SHIPWRECKED CREW RESCUED. The steamship Juniata, which arrived off Tybee on Monday night, encountered In latitude 78 16. longitude 32.26, the schooner Hannah M. Lollie, which wes bound for Jacksonville, Fla., from New York, with a cargo of lumber, disabled and in a sinking condition. At 3 a. in. on Saturday the Captain, Gardner H. Loll, 6, and Caleb Bell, the colored cook, were washed over board and drowned during a furious gale. .The remainder of tbe crew were compelled to remain by the ill fated vessel, clinging with the desperation of despair to her wrecked frame until sighted by tbe Juniata, which hove to and took them off. The rescued men are John McDonald, R'cbard Palmer, and Peter Johnson,seamen, aud Robert H. Lingo, second mate, and Chas. H. Conway, first mate. Capt. Loliisand his cook were natives of Lebanon, Delaware. The former was well known at this port, and had many friends wbo will regret to bear of his ill fate. The schooner left here only three weeks since for Jacksonville, Fla., to take in a cargo of lumber for New York. When the crew were taken off by the Ju niata the schooner was on her beam ends and the deck load had shifted aDd she w.is full of water. Nearly all the men were more or less injured by the shifting cargo, but Done were seriously hurt except one who had his leg broken, and who was sent to St. Joseph’s Infirmary yesterday after noon. The officer* and crew desire to re turn their thanks to Captain Howe, of the Juniata, for kind treatment and attention. Some arrangement wiii be made to day to send the others home. FLOATING ON A SPAS FOR FIVE DAYS. The steam-hip Santiago de Cuba, Captain Foote, which arrived here yesterday, had on board Jamts G. Harris, of Philadelphia, mate of the schooner Mary G. Fisher, of Philadelphia, bound from that port to Wll mlngtou, N. C., with a cargo of coal. Tbe Captain informs us that about four o’clock on Monday morniog, while the* first mate was on watch, the lookout discovered a man some distance off hangiDg to a spar, and carried along at the mercy of the heavy waves. Tbe steamer was immediately stopped and a boat’s crew sent to ills rescue. Tnls was off Hull river. The man was entirely nude, aud was in a semi Imbecile 6tate, bordering on delirium. He was safely taken on board and the steamer was under way In nineteen minutes after he was discovered and the boat was lowered. When the rescuing party reached him one of tbe crew started to take hold of him to pull him Into the boat. He cried out piteously that his entire body was sore from exposure to tbe sun and the salt water wash ing over his blistered skin, and tbe men relieved him from his perilous situation with as much care as possible under the circumstances. After getting him on board, Capt. Foote had his entire body rubbed with oil, and had him given a quantity of gruel, which seemed to revive him some what, after which he was given a small piece of watermelon and small plectsof Ice, with beneficial results, as he continued to Improve steadily until his arrival here, though hts mind has apparently not recover ed its strength. The schooner Mary G. Fisher foundered on Wednesday morning, August 24, at 4 o’clock in deep water, off Frying Pan Shoals, and the crew got on a raft and were all washed off and drowned, with the excep tion of the mate, Harris, who left the raft and succeeded in getting on a piece of the cabin of the schooner, on which he floated for five days, until picked up by tbe San tiago dc Cuba, as above stated. The poor fellow undoubtedly owes bis life hr Capt. Foote, as he would most likely have died after his rescue had he not been fed very carefully and so well taken care of. The Captain says that if Harris was not blessed with an iron constitution he could not have lived for five days in the water without food or drink. The names of the remainder of the crew who were lost, are Capt. Cook, commander, Enoch Camps, seaman, and three colored seamen whose names are not remembered. Mr. Harris i6 a native of Philadelphia, and has a mother residing In that city. He was yesterday afternoon conveyed i the St. Joseph’s Infirmary, where he will be properly cared for, aud Capt. Foote tele graphed his relatives in Philadelphia of his rescue. A CAFTATW AND UREW OF FIT* RESCUED. Last night, about half past ten o’clock, the revenue launch Discover, Capt. H. C. Barrows, arrived here from her relief trip to Fort Pulaski and Tybee, having on board the Captain and a portion of th* crew of an unfortunate vessel which had fallen a vic tim to tbe remotteless gale. On tbe way down tha river, the Discover met the pilot boat Belle No. 5, tder conyna ujLgt Capt. J. 8. Biles, from wbicn the distressed sea men were taken. Capt. Bliss reported that while cruising fifteen miles east-southeast of Ty bee, at 11 o’clock a. m., he dis covered these men on a raft and imme diately preceeded to their assistance, and succeeded tn getting them off. Having to return to Tybee, he transferred them to the Discover, and they were brought to the city as stated. Two of the men remained on the Discover and were provided for, and the others were conveyed to the Mar shall House, where they were made com fortable. The men belonged to the American bark Brunswick, of Boston, bound from Pasca goula, Mtes., to Philadelphia, with a cargo of lumber, and were under the command of Captain Daniel Hlrglns. A representative of the Morning News called on Captain Higgins at the Marshall House last night and found him greatly exhausted and rather disinclined to prolonged conversation, very natural, when it is considered that he had been floating about in the water for over three days without meat or drink. He, how ever, furnished the following brief particu lars of his disaster: The Brunswick left Pascagoula on the 10th of August for Phila delphia. On Tuesday last, when In the lati tude of Savannah, and about one hundred miles from Tybee, she encountered a heavy gale, which developed into a regular fierce hurricane ou Friday, and the vessel suffered greatly. On Saturday morning the bark was laboring under bare poles, and com menced to make water rapidly. The crew were at once put to work throwing over cargo and working at the pumps, but despite their efforts, the water continued to gain; at 1 p. m. Saturday the lee yards were under water, and for preservation the masts were cut away. The small boats meanwhile had been swept away. The cutting away of the mas's righted her somewhat, but she continued to fill with water. The men were at the pumps, and between five and six o’clock there was a slight lull in the tempest, but it seemed to be only to gather force, as a short time afterwards the gale re doubled In fury, and the bark, which had been laboring hard, commenced to break up. The Captain and his crew stood by her faithfully’ and did everything possible to save her. At 2 o’clock on Saturday night tbe vessel sank beneath the-raging billows,leaving the Captain and crew cling ing to the afterhouse, which was floated. The men were without water or provisions of any kind, and on this frame were buffeted about for three days. When taken off by the pilot boat they were pretty well exhausted, and very weak. Previous to the abandonment of tbe bark, four of the men were washed overboard and drowned. THB SAVED lost all their clothes and other effects, and they are in a very destitute condition. The crew now in the city are as follows: Captain Daniel Higgins, of Quincy, Mass. James Fisher, mate, of Philadelphia. J. Jollett, second mate. William Mosher, seaman. B. C. James, colored steward. Charles Dillingham, seaman. The following is a list of those who were drowned, all seamen: John Carroll. ( Pat. McDermot. Theo. Shaddock. Antonio, of Manilla. The bark Brunswick is owned by Walton Hall, of 91 Commercial Place, Boston, to whom a telegraphic dispatch was sent last night. MARINE NOTES. The Norwegian bark Condor, Capt. Neil sen, arrived at Cockspur yesterday from London, having left there ou the 9th July. She reports having had fine weather till she arrived near Charleston, when the hurricane commenced blowing. During th gale had malnmaet broken off close to the deck, ana a portion of her rigging was carried away. She reports having passed near Charleston a barkentlne that had lost her fore rigging, steering for Bull river. The bark Helen Sams, Captain Basford, with a general cargo from Baltimore for Charleston, 8. C., reports that she arrived at Charleston bar on Thursday last and took a pilot from that city on board, and was waiting for tbe tide to go in, when the gale came up on Saturday. The vessel slipped botk anchor?) *nd was driven in this direction, arriving at Tybee on Sunday, when the Captain ran her ashore on St. Michael’s. She lost light spars and sails, but sustained no material damage. She Is waiting here for a tug to take her to Charleston. The steamship Santiago de Cuba, Capt. Foote, arrived here yesterday from Boston in fine condition, having sustained no dam age whatever during her trip. She reports having experienced heavv easterly gales all the way with threatening weather, and having passed, ou Monday, the steamship George Appold, bound to Baltimore. REPORTS FROM BRUNSWICK AND ELSE WHERE. A friend who has just returned from Brunswick gives us the following informs tlon: The storm in Brunswick was not as bad as was anticipated. The wires being down, we were placed in such a position that it was impossible to hear anything, hence considerable uneasiness was caused among our lumber merchants, as tbe lowest estimate that could be placed upon the lumber lying exposed right on the banks of the river footed up at least forty to fifty thousand dollars, and many are of tbe opiuion that the total was almost double these figures, flut the loss will be com paratively nothing, as tbe storm seemed to pass around Brunswick, only giving that city a slight touch of It. Tbe only damage I could see was tbe sinking of th* dredge boat employ ed in that harbor, which now lies with only her smokestack showing at low water. All along the line of the Ma con and Brunswick Railroad from Jesup shows very conclusively that the storm had either taken asother direction from Jesup or had spent itself before reaching Bruns wick. Tbe reports from Darien say some fine buildings were unroofed, and the Presbyte rian church blown down. The reports from Doboy are very con conflicting—some say damages, others say none. All along’ffce line of the Savannah, Florida and Western and Macon and Bruns wick Railroads l bear nothing but expres sion* of sympathy, and especially do the citizens of Brunswick express their heartfelt sympathy for Savannah and her people In the loss they have sustained. A correspondent at DoreheWer under date of the 30th writes: “On Saturday night, be tween 9 and 1 o’clock, the severest hurri cane ever experienced passed over, through and around this county, devastating proper ty, and, so far as beard from, killing six persons—four children, one man and wo man-all colored, and perhapa others. Cat tle, sheep and stock of all kinds were killed and Injured, house*, fences and trees of every description leveled and crops com pletely lost. Cotton and rice are stripped clean. What little corn was left from the drought is all on the grouod. If the rain holds up it can be gathered time enough to save. Men who were on Saturday morning buoyed with flattering hopes and expecta tions, are to-day sorrowfuiand despondent. The turpentine farms are leveled to the ground. If the damage over Georgia was as great as In our locality, twenty million of dollars will not repay the losses. Using a vulgar phrase, It was *h—l, death and de structlon.’ Nearly all the churches In the county are down, the highways blocked com pletely and the people demoralized gener ally.” A correspondent at Fleming, under date of the HOtb, writes: "I hear of no other casualties along the coast near here other than houses, fenclugand trees blown down, and many stock killed. Three or four per sons are reported drowned near Darien In trying to cross over from Butler’s Island. Our naval store men are trying to determine upon some plan to utilize their fallen tim ber, which will probably result In the erec tion of a saw mill here. The smaller tim ber esn be cut Into cordwood, larger sizes sawed into staves, etc., while the large trees can be made Into valuable lumber. The general damage done the country can not now be estimated with any accuracy, but it Is Very heavy.” THE STORM AT REAOFORT, S. 0. Through the medium of a private letter, we learn that the storm in Its passage played sad havoc at the town of Beaufort, 8. C., aud tbe adjacent Islands. The wind com menced a stiff blow on Friday night, and continued until it culminated In a terrific cyclone on Saturday evening. Fences, trees and many bnlldlngs were prostrated. All of the wharf property was wrecked, and for a time the steamers Pilot Boy and Howard Drake were in imminent peril, but their commanders kept on a full head of steam and weathered tbe storm. The water rose above what Is known as the Sea Wall, and spread through the streets and Into the cellars of many buildings. Conspicuous among these was the grocery establishment of Mr. George Waterhouse, who had a large quantity of fall eupplles stowed In the cellar of his store, and bis loss was a very heavy one from damage. Many other Bay store suffered In like manner, aud tbe lumber and wood yard of Capt. N. Christensen was swept by the tide, and the contents spread through the adjoining streets. The sloop Bertha, Capt. Brotherton, was run up high and dry Into a position from which no ordinary high tide will float her off Mr. W. J. Verdler’s beau tiful yacht Nellie, the winner of one of the prizes in the late regatta, was torn from her anchorage, carried t) some distance, and turned bottom up. She is much damaged. Capt. T. W. Willett’s boat house Waablown away, as were all similar buildings in tbe town. Reports are bat meagre from the is lands, where great damage was undoubtedly felt, but the turn of Mr, C, 8. Johnson, which is famous as sm of the most highly cultivated pieces of property in the neigh borhood, and on account of its valuable orchard and vineyard, was entirely covered With the salt water, and It la wared hla splendid stand is a total loss. The letter concludes by saying the waiting for the night to pass was a fearful ordeal, and un precedented in the history of the town. EXPRESSIONS OF STMPATHT.

Overtaken and Terribly Cut With a Knife. On Monday evening as Edward Greggory and Isarene Jones, colored, were passing the corner of Liberty and Jefferson street, Greggory remarked to his companion that he Intended to stop in a certain store on their route and get some cigars. Standing on the corner at the time was another negro by the name of Lewis Gordon, who has the reputation of being a desperado of the vilest type. Gordon heard the remark as the men passed, and, moving towards them, 6aid, with a fearful oath, “You had better get a cigar, as I will cut your d—njlfver out,” or words to that effect. Greggory and Jones, knowing the character of Gordon, and fear ing they would be assaulted, started Into a run. Gordon pursued Greggory, who ran some distance and darted into the yard of a gentleman on Tattnall street, where he thought he would be pro tected. jGordon followed, and seizing him as he entered the yard, threw him down and deliberately began to hack him with a large knife. He gave him one cut in the eye, three on the leg and one on the head. Samuel Jefferson and Edward Martin, two colored men who had witnessed this race, followed the parties and succeeded in cap turing Gordon, wbo was held securely until a policeman who was ent for arrived, when he wa* delivered Into the custody of the of cer and taken to the barracks. Yesterday morning Gordon was turned over to Magis trate Waring Russell, Jr., upon a warrant charging him with assault with Intent to murder, and was committed to jail to await the result of the Injuries to Greggory, which are considered quite serious. It appears that after Gordon was captured he cut himself in the leg very severely and claimed that he had been attacked by Greggory first. This assertion will, how ever, be disproved by other witnesses. Cutting Affray Between Women. Yesterday evening about quarter past G o’clock a disturbance occurred In a bouse on the corner of Houston and South Broad street lane, which had cerlous results. It appears that two of the Inmates of tht mansion, Gussle Martin and Mami* La Farge, o 1 tbe frail sisterhood, had a mis understanding, and MisvGusale proposed to settle the matter by carving up her whilom friend. She accordingly sailed in and sue ceeded in cutting Mamie on the hand with a knife, when the rumpus attracted the attention of Policeman Kennon, who ebassezed In and captured the fair Gussle and waltzed her off to the barracks, where a charge of disorderly con duct, assaulting and cutting witness, Ma mie La Farge, was entered against her. (tussle did not relish the idea of slumbering lathe basille, and gave bond for her ap peaiance at the Police Court matinee to day. Retualng to A salat an Officer. On the 14th Inst., Policeman Jone3, in making an arret*, was violently assaulted by some negroes, *hen he called upon Wm. Small, alias “One-Eyei” Mongin, to render him assistance. The colored trooper with a double name declined to do so, and at once levanted, leaving the officer t be roughly handled. Since then nothing has been seen of William until last evening s#iout six o’clock, when Policeman Jones spisd him and immediately captured him. It istob* hoped that he will be taught a lesson In the Police Court to day which will have the effect of inducing him never to desert an officer in need in future. Painful Accident to Rev. H. Webb. Yesterday morning Rev. Richard Webb, whilst engaged in repairing some damage to the piazza leading from the main building to the buildings on the lane, met with a painful accident. He was leaning over the piazza, when he slipped and felitothe yard, striking upon his head. He was badly stunned, but fortunately no bones were broken and he sustained no serious injury. He was conscious and doing very well last night, bat it will probably be two weeks before he will be enabled to leave his bed. Found on the Street Beaten. Last night Policeman Dufour encountered on the corner of Bay and Habersham streets a man named Joe Camming, who presented a sorry spectacle. Joseph, who is an English sailor, stated that he had been very bad!} beaten by one Thomas Wright, connected with a sailor boarding house. Laier Thomas was arrested in the street and carried to the barracks. Farm Griit Hill#. We call attention to the advertisement elsewhere of the Farm Grist Mills and Corn Shellers.

The weather at the time was quite moderate, and there were no Indica tions of the prophecy of Vennor being fulfilled. Our course lay down the South channel, and as we approached the obstructions the night had closed In thick, and we had to stop and back as we ap proached this point so as to find the pas sage between the cribs. We soon found the opening, and the steamer stood down the river, the only visi ble objects being a low, dark line marking the banks, and Tybee light in the distance. As we continued down the wind increased, and from Lazaretto creek to the wharf Quite a heavy sea was running. Captain Fitzgerald got his boat to the wharf prompt ly, the lines forward and aft being han dled respectively by the mate, Mr. Paine, and Capt. John Fitzgerald, of the City of Bridgeton, who was on board, and all tbe passengers were quickly ashore. The wind even that night swept across the wharf with such force that it was difficult for a pedestrian to make headway. During the night this incipient gale moderated, and some thought that the predicted storm had passed over. The Plant left the wharf at 7 o’clock, though we little thought it was to be tbe closing trip of the season. Fortu nately for me, and I sav so because other wise my family might probably have been lost In that terrible Satur day night, I remained on the island. A stiff gale blew all Friday, in creasing towards dark as the tide came in, and all night it continued without cessa tion. Saturday morning the rain set in thick, the gale increasing every minute. During the day we saw the Plant coming down, but, when she got near Cockspur Light house, we were not surprised to see her turn back, as the sea would not permit of her coming further, and she returned to the city. Tbe wave* had washed away the shore end of the wharf, driving the pal metto logs and ranging timbers upon the beach by this time. So far we had only had an ordinary gale. In what was thought to be a well-built house, and at a point sup posed to be eight feet above the highest tides, to us the fierce antics of the ocean were only pleasant scenes to be enjoyed like any other unusual sight. We little knew that a few hours would bring this angry flood to our doors and drive us from our comfortable horn s. Soon the window shutters had to be closed and the sashes fastened down, as the rain was driving through everything. To wards dark the sashes gave way in some of the rooms and all bad to take shelter in the southwest room and the entry. The slats had to be taken from the bedsteads, and boxes which had contained provisions broken up to get nails with which to nail them across the windows on the inside to keep the entire sashes and blinds from be ing forced inward. About seven o’clock (I don’t know the exact time, as we never tnought of looking at our watches,) one of the windows on the cast side, up stairs, blew in and had to be forced back and braced with bed slats. While we were doing this (and it took two men and a big boy to do it) the darknes* outside was lit up with the lurid glare of fire, but the raging storm and wild confu sion rendered it impossible for us even to go out of the house on the east side, much less to go to the fire from the point of the island where we were. We could but offer up a silent prayer for those who had fire added to the other terrors of the night. We thought It was the hotel, and only the next day learned of the terrible event that has already been told in the papers, the fall of Mr. Solomon’s house, and its subse quent destruction by fire, with so shocking a loss of life. While we were thinking of this awful scene, dreadful at all times, but doubly so then, we heard the crash of glass, and rushed down stairs to find another large window sash blown out, and the shutters bending in ae though they would break. The battens which we had nailed against the frame an hour before had given way, our supply of nails and boards was exhausted, and we had to let the rain and wind pour in. We concluded to look outside, and going to the back door, we were startled to find the water up to the steps, and a large boat which had been driven on the beach during the morning, tossing against them. We knew then that the sandhill had given way to the west of us, and that the ocean was making a breach through to Chimney creek. Going out on the western side of the piazza, we worked our way alone by the help of the banisters, the wind cutting like a knife, and the salt spray blinding us, to the front of the house. Leaning over, and straining our eyes to the utmost, we saw the water rushing under the house with the force of a Nigara. The night was appalling: there we w#re on a sand hill with the ocean in front haring a clear sweep to the south end of the isla‘d. Something had to be done at once as the under pinning would not stand long against th* waves and drift wood, and the house might topple over and crush all the inmates. Two jf us started out to see if the land was high r to the east, and going by the back steps, where there was already two feet of water, we made our way to the next house. Heu> we found the land dry, or rather no tide. Mn. KcKenzle, who was occupying the house, said we were welcome to come, but the raia had poured through the place all day* Knocking away the intervening fences we returned to our home, and told the ladies we must move, and at once. Gathering up the bed clothes, or whatever would shel ter them, and wrapping the little ones up, (who did not know what to make of being taken out of their beds, where they had been put early in the evening to get them out of the way) we started off for our ark of safety through a pitiless gale of salt water and sand, and over the fallen trees made our way through to find that the place which had been comparatively dry five minutes before was now overflowed. One of the ladles fainted and had to be carried bodily through the flood. Counting our numbers we found that three ladles, six children, two servants and our selves (there were three men), we were all safe. Our refuge was soon surrounded by water atd the rain poured through in tor rents. Tr.eTe was not a dry spot anywhere. This made no difference. We would have been supremely happy in the midst of all this trouble, but the flood kept rising, and we knew when it reached the floor the house would probably float away, and we could hear and i,el the floating timbers a3 they beat against Jt, hur rying it on, as it were, to join the otnr wrecks. With the storm lanterns in hand, we watched the rising tide as each wave rolled under our shelter. it was about 7:30 o’clock when the tidal wave came In which sent Its waters o.ver the sand hills, and dashed the waves up to our feet In a few brief moments. The waters seemed to have spent their force, but the tide con tinued to rise. Steadily it passed mark af ter mark, which we made upon the steps, and after two hours watching it stopped coming up. Sir Inches higher and we might have been swept away. Never were eyes more intent upon anything as were ours upon the water. Once afloat, no hurnau hand outstretched could save the little party. The men might have sur vived, but the ladies and the children would have sunk beneath the waves. Buch a night! In silence, I think, all who knew the danger prayed to Him above to check the storm and drive the angry waters back. Our little house trembled under the repeated shocks of drift wood, and the rain and wind added to the terrors of the night. At last our mark showed that the water had stopped rising, and then that it was receding, and we felt that the wind, which had blown steadily from the northeast, had shifted to the southeast, we thanked God that we were saved at last to see another day. At last, after hours of patient waiting, we saw the land. Noah, when the dove returned to the ark, nor Columbus, when the man at the masthead cried out “land,” did not feel more grateful than did our little party. As the tide went down we went out with our storm lanterns to explore. On either side of our place of refuge were two large cypress logs, fifty feet loDg, which had barely missed us, while In front was plied debris of all kinds, which had been kept partially at bay by a little live oak, that., though uprooted, still turned Its strong trunk against the storm king, whoae fierce attacks it had defied for years. We re turned and waited for the day to dawn; it was still an hour ofT. When the faint light broke in the east we wandered forth to gather tidings. From one end to the other of the front of the island naught was un touched save three houses. A few of the outer posts were all that remained of the wharf, and the beach was as leyel as a table. The house we had left was partially down on one 6lde, with half of Its under pinnings washed away. What had been a place fair to see a few hours before was a mass of wreckage, pieces of boats, fences, rail road stringers with the Iron rails attached, bllßds doors, etc. The house to the west, which was the residence of some of us a few hours before, and which had been left at dark the previous night, was no where to be seen, and where It had stood was a creek through which the waters of Tybec river joined with those of the Savan nah. Not a vestage of it remained, and the two families that had occu pied It for their summer home and had all their worldly goods In It, saved only what they had on. We were anxious to hear from our neigh bors, and, as we walked along viewleg the wrecks, we found that the experience of others during the night had. In some instances, been more terrible than ours. One family had moved four times, wading in some Instances breast deep In the water, with their children on their shoulders. We were anxious to get news from the ocean front, but we were almost afraid to Inquire. We ex pected a fearful loss of life, as we thoueht the sea must have swept over the sand hills and carried the home* and their occupants into Beacon Pond. Fearful were the ex periences of those who were there, and numerous were the hairbreadth escapes from death. But the flood, and the wind and the dark; night passed away, and Provi dence had all except the three doomed ones in the burnt house. By the marks, the flood had been twelve to fourteen feet above high water. In September, 1804, a storm passed over Tybee and Savannah similar In every re spect to the one of last Saturday. There was, however, but one family, the Boltons (who had a summer house there, and who had only been down three days), besides the lighthouse keeper, on the isfztod. The tide rose lu the day, but they had much difficulty in making their way to the lighthouse, where they found a shelter, aud were rt s i cued by friends from Savannah the next day, where they were welcomed by the peo ple as we were welcomed last Sunday, as though we had been dead and returned to life. J. H. E. [communicated.] The Water (?) Supplied to Its. How did the water in the supply reservoir become salty by reason of £tie storm ? This is a question pertinent to every citizen of Bavannab, and to the general health of the city, and consequently deserving investiga tion. According to the plan of the water works, as we have understood, there are four water tight compartments or receiving reservoirs, etch communicating with the river and with each other by means of strong water tight gates, in such manner as to be, when closed, separate and distinct from each other, the purpose of this division being to permit undisturbed sedimentary deposits in three of these reservoirs, while pure water is supplied to the city In turn from the fourth. If this be so, how is it that sea water, even though driven up by the gale to the bead of Argyle Island, nine miles above the city, could get into the four compartments, and especially Into the one in use * Is there a defect in the con struction of the receiving reservoirs ? The universal Importance of the subject attracts public attention to It. W. Lady Beantlflers.
