Correspondence <f the Is.
At the departure of the last newsotthe

express y The chief satisfac ion derived from tho
affair hJs been Iron the iliuetrat.on it has given
ol the irr. sistihle power ol scientific attacks even
on the case mated batu lies which have latterly
been so much talked of in connexion with Russian
fortifications, and tho expectation which is thus
encouraged that the alleged impregnability of other
points will henceforth be disregarded.
Ou the natural strength of the place and its free
dom trom tbOB3 detects which were always con
sidered to render Bilistria untenable there seems to
he no question, and although it was relatively small,
the comparative difference between the attacking
forces was more than a compensation for tho dis
parity in that respect. It is true that the troops
lauded amounted to 11,000 instead of 8,000 as at
fiist supposed, but only a small poriion of them
were eigaged, and, although the ships were ena
bled to threaten the place more effectually thar.
had been considered po-sib.e, their fire merely
operated as a partial diversion, and the fall ot each
fort would obviously have been acsomplished, al
though rather less speedily, even if they hua re
mained inactive.
All the preliminaries for the Austrian occupation
of the I'rmcipulUie-* having at length been com
pleted, after a consultation wish Omar Pasha, two
divisions of the army, one under Archduke Al
bert and the other under Geueral Coronim, have
advanced across tho frontier at separate points,
which will give them the command both ot >• al a
chia and Moldavia. The troops under General
Coronini have entered from that part of the Aus
triau territory North of Transylvania and Mol
davia known as tho Rukovina, and they are
therefore likely to find themselves almost imme
diately within a short distance of the outposts of
the Russians.
No collision is, however, anticipated, since
although the Czar has lately shown a renewed dis
position to retain if possible some grasp on bis
fi material guarantee” and especially to concen
trate forces at lbrail and Gaiatz, so as not to be
swept entirely from the Danube, the general im
pression is that the moment he finds Austria has
taken her decisive step he will finish his as rap
idly as possible.
The idea of any good news lrotn the army in
Asia seems hopeless, aud there are accounts now
current which, although from Russian sources and
palpably exaggerated, in the usual manner, are
nevertheless believed to have foundation, ot the
Turks having sustained a defeat of almost their
entire army near Kars. There had previously
baeu Russian rumors of victories, but these, if
gained, were probably smail and weli disputed,
and it was kuown at the last dates that the two
armies were lying in sight of each other, aud that
6 great battle was considered imminent.
irom Vienna accounts received yesterday, there
is now little reason to doubt that the conliict has
taken place, and has ended most disastrously.
The Russians were commanded by Prince Bcbutoff,
and tbey claim to have killed 8,000 of their op
ponents, aud to have taken 28,000 prisoners, in
cluding 84 stuff aud other officers, with 15 guns.
The public both : n England and France were fully
prepared for intelligence of this kind, but its ex
tent is greatiy beyond their worst fears.
It is, however, only a repetition of what has al
ways been experienced whenever the Russians had
only to deal with Turkish commanders. In the pre
sent in-tanee it was known that the Mushir was
one of the most corrupt, imbecile, and selfish oi
his cia*s, and there had also been strong rumors
of tieaebery and dissension on the part of many of
the Foies to whom commissions had been given,
and whose jealousy of the superior military ta
lents of the Hungarians, and especially of Gener
al Guyon, was dscribed to be such that they bad
assisted in thwarting every proposition that prom
ised to lead to great and safe results.
Politically, however, the matter is of course not
of prominent importance, and there are indoed
mauy advant-gesto which it will inevitably lead.
Nothing but some calamity of the sort would have
convinced the Turkish people of their absolute
dependence upon the aid ot foreigners for direct
ing their natural courage.
On the Danube aud feilistria, the same things
might have been regarded as certain if tne troops
had not been commanded In the oue case by Omar
Pasha, an Austrian, and directed in the other
by Lieutenants Burke end Nasmyth, as well as by
engineer. They would nevertheless
have overlooked the e facts, if their army under a
native leader had triumphed in Asia, and some
thing like the old military fanaticism of the nation
might have rapidly grown up.
Tne employment of foreigners would have been
gradually abandoned and the country would soon
again have fallen under the influence of Russian
bribes. There can now be little doubt that a vie- |
orous reconstruction of the army in A-i* will taka
place, and there seems good reason to hope that
it may be headed by Omar Pasha, or, at all events,
by General Guyon. Another result ol the rumor
ed defeat is likewise ookedjupon by many persons
with considerable satisfaction. These individuals
have feared all along that the Czir would euccomb
too soon and be let oft with easy terms, and they
now seen that he mey be induced by the stimulus
of a victory to commit himself deeper and deeper,
Be as to render his final discipline a* the hands of
eombin td Europe apparently secure.
The junction of Austria with the Western pow
ers seems to have inspired confidence throughout
the country and the Vienna money market during
the past two or three weeks has experienced a re
markable improvement. It appears, moreover,
that the new loan has been successfully raised—an
amount equal to the enormous total of #175,000,600
having been already subscribed. This was the
minimum figure originally stated as requisite, and
the Government intimated t hat although it would
sulfi.-e they would be glad if the sum wore carried
&s high as $250,000,000.
Whether thi- f 11 amount will be obtained is
doubtful, but there appears to be an impression
that the minimum to’al will at all events be exceed
ed and that tho final aggregate may be #200,000,-
000. With this the financial prospects of the
country might under good management be put in
a very fair position. Os cour-e, although tho loan
is called a voluntary one, it has been in a great
measure as far us the pressure of influence on the
part of a despotic government could go, been a
forced one, since none who wished to avoid being
marked for future suspicion and hostility could
hold back, and in instances where individuals or
corporations were not considered to have subscrib
ed enough, they received intimations, which it was
impossible to misconstrue, that they had better
increase their application.
With regard to domestic affairs in England, the
harvest continues the grand subject ot attention.
The weather, on the whole, is still all that could
be desired, and from the South to the North the
orops are now generally under tho sickle, with the
almost universal prospect of ar. unusually excel
lent yield, both in quantity and quality. The Irish
D*ople also, after their first burst of exaggeration,
nuve discovered, as usual, that the potatoes have
not been destroyed to anything like the extent
anticipated, and that there is nearly a certainty of
a supply considerably beyond the average.
Under these circumstances, the grain market,
notwithstanding the decline reported by the last
steamer, continues to exhibit great heaviness, and
a further fail is looked upou as certain. A small
failure occurred the day before yesterday in the
Corn Exchange, tho house being that of Mr. R. C.
Sercombe.
The English funds maintain great steadiness.

Tho destruction oi otc of the strougholls by which
Russia hoped to sccuic her dominion over the
BalLc and her ascendency over Sweden has been
alleSed with u comparatively small loss ol Ulo,
aud in theshoit space of three days from the open
ing ol tho fiie.
English and French, soldiers and seamen, engi
neers aud marines of both nations, have joined
heart aud hand in this enterprise, and wo have
no doubt that the vigor c f their attack and the
rapidity ol their triumph are an earnest of what
the allied armies and fleets will effect under cir
cumstances o» greater mllieolty, and against a more
determined lesistuuc i. In a military point ot view
many of the details of this operation de
serve notice, bocauso they are tho first pratioal
experiments we huve hud of the effect of our guns
aud small arms in the attack of places fortified ou
the system of the Russian casemafod batteries in
the North of Europe.
The first point was the disembr.rotaion of tlie
troops, which took place ou the morning of ti e
Sth. The landing place chosen by the General and
tho Admiral was a buy of about throe miles iu
breadth, situated to the South-west of tho forts,
and a distance of 2,500 yards from the Western
fort, which is that called fort Tzee. A Russian
earthwork carrying 6 guns had beou placed on the
the Eastern promontory ol this bay, facing the sea
but this battery was taken in 11 ink and dismoun
ted by tho fire ot the Amphionand Phlogethon.
In tho meantime tho disembarcation was going
on, aud 11,000 men wore landed in tho i oats of
tho fleet in the space of three hours and a half.
Tho Russian troops appear to have made no at
tempt to oppose tne landing, though they might
have occasioned considerable annoyance to our
men by posting their Rifles in tho woods near the
shore. The British aud French marines, 000 of
each flag, were conveyed by the Driver to the
North ot the forts, aud landed behind them. The
next lour days wero employed by the army in
preparing foi the attack.
The position ot the batteries was selected, sand
bags and gabions were prepared, aud tho sailors
brought up with great labor some long 82
pounder ship guns, which were placed in a posi
tion 800 yards from the round fort. On tho 18th
the lire ol the trench battery opened from the
Southwest ou Fort Tzeo, and the bombardment
was sustained in the most brilliant manner lor 26
hours, with one very short interval. Wo are not
informed at what range this lire wus opened, and
the distance was probably greater than it would
have been if the pluee had been approached by
regular siege operations.
The most remarkable fact is, however, that this
French batlory consisted of only lour 16 pounders
aud four mortars, or, as our own correspondent
states, of throe mortars and three brass field
pieces—a force quite inadequate to breach a
granite tower. Three of the enemy’s gnns wero
dismounted through the embrasures, and tho lire
of the French rifles ou these apperturcs was so
severe that the Russians had difficulty in loading
their gnus, and s ffered most severely iu couso*'-
queuce. This circumstance is ot great impor
tance, und accounts lor the largo proportion ot the
enemy killed und wounded iu Fort Tzee. Event
ually this part ot the work was taken by the
French chasseurs on the morning of the 14’h bv
a coup de main, the details of which will doubtless
i appear it tho F rench despatches.
Meanwhile the British battery under the orders
of General Jones was iu process of construction—
-1 a work of greater time aud difficulty, because it
consisted ot 82 pounder guns drugged up trom the
ships. W e are not toid by the admiral ol how
many guns this battery consisted, nor la its posi
tion accurately described; it must, however, have
1 been on the Northwest Irout of tho place, and
within range of both the round forts, tor, tho
Western fort had beou tuken before General Jones
1 opened his lire, he turned his guns against the
1 Eastern tort with equal effect. This battery was
managed by marine artillerymen lrom the four
i bloeksnips ; their practice was excellent, and in
eight hours aud a halt one side of the tower was
knocked in.
Itis not clear’y stated, however, by the Ad
miral (whose despatch is not remsrkaule for mili
tary precision) wfietlier this result was caused by
the fire of the 82 pounders or by tho explosion
mentioned by our correspondent, but it appears
from a subsequent passage iu our letter that a
practical breach was made by the guns, and that
they were three in number. The effect of the
breaching batteries erected by General Paraguay
D’Hilliers,against tho principal fort was not tried,
because ihe place oapituiaiea before the uttack had
been carried to the last extremities. In lact, it
was wholly untenable from the moment that tho
round lorts commanding the rear ol tho j osttion
were in tho hands of the allied armies.
The most obvious inlcrence to be drawn from
the success of this attack is, that the Russian forts,
if they are generally constructed on the same
principle aud ot the same materials as those ol
Bomarsund, cannot withstand, for any lengthened
time, a close fire of heavy guns, even when tho-e
guns are very lew iu number, and that the diffi
culty of fighting m caseumtcd batteries is great y
increased by the tiro of Minie rifles, which can
1 now be directed with great precision into the
j embrasures.
The lire of the ships at the long range at which
they were compelled to lie acted chiefly as a di-
I version in favor of the troops, and produced no
j decisive effect on the forts; but it still remains to
! be ascertained what would be the effect of the
broadside of a three-decker on a tort of this de
| scription, and whether the results produced in
I eight hours and a half by three 82 ponnder gnus
could not bepioduced in half ar. hour by a fire ol
I greater rapidity and of twenty times that weight
ol metal.
No breaching batte r y that ever was constructed
is at all equal to the fire ot a liLe-of battlo ship,
but, on the o'J er hand, a land battery is fa* more
protected lrom the fire ot an enemy; and the
question is, w hether a ship could float long enorgh
under a severe fire from land batteries to silonco
and destroy them. In the late operations, al
though the ships wete several times in very criti
cal positions, from running ou the ground w thin
range of the enemy’s red hot balls, none of them
appear to have suffered materially ; and, though
the Admiral was compelled to order the Penelope
to throw her guns overboard, which was done
with great presence of mind, he probably relied
on the probability of recovering them when the
Aland Isles were iu o *r own possession.
Upon the whole, this experiment is not highly
satisfactory and honorable to all those who were
engaged in it, but it leads us to anticipate ni .re
important achievements. Tne season is still long
enough to admit of lurther enterprises upon the
Russian coast; the allied forces are new on the
spot, and within a lew hours’ sail of any point in
the Baltic; and we hope to learn that the allied
commanders are taking steps to pursue that career
of success w hich Las been opened by the fali ol
Bornarsund.
The cholera is said to be prevalent at Aland.
It is related among the incidents of the fall of
Bop.arsund, that a Russian colonel, who was ta
ken pYisouer on the second day ol the bombard
ment, as he passed the debris of the first round
tower, looked up and exclaimed to an cllicer, “U
England, England, we did not expect this from
you.” The alliance between the English and
French bus astonished tho Russians beyond mea
sure. They thought it impossible.
The WjjiteSea.—The telegraphic report of the
blockade ol Archangel is confirmed. Tho Mont
teur says:—
“It has a! ways been the benevolent intention of
the Allied Powers, that the blockade of the ports,
in the White Sea should offer no impediment to
the commercial relations existing bo’ween tho in
habitants ot Norwgian Finmarek and those ofthe
coast of the White Sea, a people in either case so
little favored by nature. The Minister ofthe Ma
rineand Colonies has just confirmed to our crui
sers in those latitudes tho instructions given to
them for this purpose in tho mouth of May, pre
vious to the declaration ofthe blockade.”
The Principalities and the Danube.— The most
important news from tins quarter is that the Aus
trians have at length crossed the frontier. They
entered Waliachiu on the 2utli of August, und it
was exp osed that the whole corps of occupation
would pass the frontier by the 23d. Bucharest,
Krejevia and Lesser Wallachia were to be occu
pied, and the advanced guard was to reach Bu
charest on the sth of September. Three brigades
ot the army ot Count Coronini were preparing for
a similar movement into Moldavia. This intelli
gence was communicated lothe British aud French
Governments by their Ministers at Vienna, and
was < llinally announced in tho Paris Moniteur oi
the 28diust.at Kustohuk.
liie Black Sea. —'Thelatest and most important
intelligence from the Black Sea is, as stated by our
London correspondent, that the Anglo-French for
ces have begun to embark lor the Crimea. Ac
cording to Austrian Advices, 45,000 men had boon
embarked at Varna, up to the 13th of August, and
the Presse has a telegraphic announcement from
Constantinople under date of the 14th, that “60,-
000 men have embarked for Sebastopol.” These
statements, however, need confirmation. Thero
can ho no doubt that the invasion ot the Crimea is
intended, but the previous advices gave reason to
suppose that the main body of the expedition could
not sail from Varna before the 20th.
Aria.—There seems to be no doubt that tho
Russians have gained another victory over the
Turks in Asia, although, it is certain, the Russian
r.-ports ur« exaggerated. They say that the Turk

Ithe United Kingdom preeeu s no items of re
markable importance. The cholera is still preva
lent, and is believed to be increasing in many
parts. The register-generals return for the week
ending the 21st of August supplied the following
statistics in regard to the health of London:
J.he number of deaths iiom all causes was 1 838,
nearly the same us that of the previous week,
which was 1,832. In the lo weeks corresponding
to last week of the years 1814 68 the average num
ber was 1,113, which, if raised in proportion to
increase ot population, becomes 1,224. The pres
ent return exhibits an excess of 609 above the es
timated amount.
Cholera was fatal last week to 729 persons, of
whom 214 wore children undor 15 years of age,
428 weic 15 years ana under 60, and 88 were 00
jeurs old and upward. During the cholera epi
demic of 1849 tho total deaths registered in the
week that ended August 18 wore 2,230, and those
iroui cholera were 1,280. In the six weeks of its
preseut appearance the deaths from cholera have
been successively 5, 20, 133, 399, 044, and 729.
lliO deaths from diarrlue last week were 192.
Iho destruction of Grey town is made tho theme
of another leading article in the London Times
ot ttie 2otb, from which we extract as follows :
1 he peculiarity of the case is, that it is not easy
to determine to what state in tho catalogue of
civilized govern menta tho city of Greytown now
belongs. I 184., Lord Palmerston laid it down
imperative language that “the right of tho
King ot Mosquito should be maintained as ex
tending from Gape Honduras down to the mouth
ot the River San Juan, and that her Majesty’s Go
vernment would not view with indifference any
attempt to encroach upon tho rights or territory
ol tho King of Mosquito, who is under the pro
tection of the British Crown.”
On these grounds, Captain Lech’s successful
expedition to Nicaragua was undertaken, by whicn
tho claims advanced by that state to the mouth of
the rivor were extinguished. In point of fact,
however, it could not be denied that this govern
ment of tho King of Mosquito wts a myth, and
the protectorate, which had to a certain extent
been exercised for 200 years undor this title, was
an onerous obiigation on ourselves. Tho port ot
San Juan, or Greytown, though included under
the protectorate, had longin reality been governod
in the name of the titular King ot Mosquito by a
commit:eo of Americans or Englishmen elected by
the people.
Portugal.— Advices from L’sbon are to the 15th
of August. The Lisbon board of health has de
clared Now York oti infected port, and New York
vessels arc consequently subjected to a vexatious
quarantine.
Russia.—Tho Presse has letters of tho 13th from
\Var-aw, and of tho 10th from St. Petersburg.
Tho Emperor Nicholas is much hotter in health,
and conferred nearly half of the night of the 9th
with Count Nessolrode, who had received most
important despatches. General Adlerborg’s un
favorable report of the state of tho Duuubiun army
led to tho order for tho evacuation of the Princi
palities. As soon as it. was known that troops
bad been sent to tho Baltic, tho guard which was
marching to the South received orders to return to
St. Petersburg. It was thought that Russia was
on the eve of a rupture with Sweden.
France—The Emperor was expected in Paris
on the 28th of August, and won d proceed to tho
Camp ot Boulogne on the Ist of September.
All tho troops destined for the camp of tho
North are either already arrived or on their march
to their cantonments. They form throe divisions,
tho headquar ers ot which are to be established at
Boulogne, Wimereux, and St. Omer. Every
branch of tho servico is organized, and staff ctU
* j eers are making of the most eligible spots between
' St. Omer and Bologue wbero tlie army may
j maceevro without causing too much damage to tho
> j crops. The grand marmvrcg are not to take place
l until the last two weeks of September,
i A communication by telegraoli is established
t throughout the camp, and also with Paris. Orders
i despatched from Biarrtiz, arrive in five uud
i twenty minutes.
r General tie Wedel, governor of tho fortress of
i j Luxemburg, has been tent by the King of Prussia
- ] to congratulate tbo Emperor Napolcau on his ro

d atal and M tuberous Affray.—We regret to
inform our readers that the quiet of orr city was
disturbed on Sabbath evening by un affray re
sulting in the death of Mr. James Reese, a well
known Conductor on the Goorgia Railroad. From
the many contradictory statements in circulation,
we can only gather the following account of this
deplorable affair: It appears that an altercation
took place between Henry Keener of this city,
and Mr. Reese at a disreputable house kept by a
woman named Jane Yarborough, and after some
words had passed between the parties, Keener
drew his revolver and shot Reese in tho breast
and abdomen throe times—two of tho balis taking
fatal effect, and the other shattering the watch o
Eeeso into fragments.
Mr. Reese was a mild, amiable and inoffensive
man in liis general deportment, and lias left many
friends. He died in a few moments after being
Bhot. Keener lias not yet been urrosted, but tho
officers are in vigilent search for him.
Thuuder frtorni.
The great Northeastern gale subsided hereon Sat

is pouring down incessantly, and tho “elemental

Our agricultural lrionds will now hnvo a “good

Death of 8. T. Chapman, Esq.—Among the <
victims of the epidemic in Savannah, we regret
to be informed, is S. T. Chapman, Esq., late editor ‘
of the Savannah Courier. lie was a vigorous and t
a polished writer, and an amiable and accomplish
ed gentleman.— Charleston Mercury, E
The Late Gale.
We copy the following additional particulars of
the ravages of tho recent storm from our Charles
ton and Savannah exchanges:
I* obther Disasters from the Gale. —ln addition
to the intelligence contained in our Saturday’s is
sue, we havo collected the following further parti
culars concerning the damage done to the shipping
and wharves:
At Potters wharf (late Smith’s) the brig Benicia
stove bulwarks, damaged rigging, and is badly
chafed. The schr. Lillie Sanders, at the same
wharf, has been chafed. The wharves also receiv
ed some injury. Patten’s, Bennett’s and Marsh’s
wharves escuped without serious injury.
Union W harves, which wore undergoing repairs
had a considerable portion of the pier taken away
down to low water mark. The bark Speedwell,
at Union Wbarvos, was somewhat chafed in the
lurbeard qu rtor by the Aquatic.
Tho North Dry Dock Wharf has received but
slight injury, but tho South Wharf, belonging to
the same company, has been much injured, and
will require considerable repairs.
The two wharves of the New Custom House,
(laio Fitzsimous’s) whieh have been lately very
thorough,y repuired, stood the storm nobly, as did
tho two Central and Accommodation Wharves,
the luttor only receiving some slight injuries.
Brown’s North wtiarf has boon much damaged,
but the South wharf stood well, aud has received
but little it jury.
Some of me Atlantic Wharves wore much injur
ed, but tiieir cutorpiising proprietor will soon have
them yin a condition to do business. Boyace &
Co’s wharves havo been but slightly damaged, and
Adger’a wharves wore equally lortunate.
\ andorhorst’s wharves havo several considera
ble breaks, but can soon bo put in good condition.
North Commercial wharf had part of tho Pier
head taken off, aud both wharves have received
additional damage.
Southern VVhurves are in a very bad condition,
and will require a large sum to put them in order.
The brig Coral, lying at Wappoo Mills, had her
bulwarks stove, is chafed badly, and lost jibboom.
Tho brig Zenobia, of tho same place, loaded with
lumber, utm ready for sea, has been driven ashore
near the Mills, and will probably havo to discharge
part, of her cargo to get off.
The schr Rob Roy lies sunk at the head of East
Point Mill Wharf.
The steamers Massawoit and G. W. Coff’oe are
ashore on tho Wostorn side ot Ashley river, oppo
site the Raco Course, and will not bo got off' with
out cousiderublo difficulty.
Tho now Light boat for Rattlesnake shoal, that
anchored in the roads on Thursday last, rode out
tho gale in safety, w,th a 3,000 lb. anchor down, in
one of the most exposed positions in the haroor,
fully testing her capacity to hold on.
Sullivan’s Island. —The Island presents a very
dismal appearance ; trees, fences, and tho smaller
buildings, lay prostrate in all directions. Near tho
Cove tho storm did much damage. The Point
House is gone, and all of tho adjacent buildings
arc more or less injured. On the Back Beach tho
damage is universal, all of the houses having suf
fered more or loss. On the Front Beach, those
four neat cottages, east of tho Moultrio House,
known as the Tennessee Row, are all swept away.
The Moultrie House is sound and secure, having
lost only the steps around the piazzas, and a lew
of the brick pillars supporting the lront piazza.
The Southwest end of the piazza has fallen in a
little. As will be seen, theso injuries aro very
slight, and in a few days will bo put all right again.
This terrible gale has fully tested the safety ot tho
Moultrie House, and demonstrated its strength and
security against the most violent storms. Just
west ot the Moultrio House is the house occupied
by Mr. Banks, which has been destroyed, having
fallen down and been swept through by tho waves.
Mr. Hull’s house is entirely gone, not a vestige
left. B
1 Gen. Martin’s house bur- suffered greatly; the
bulwarks is gone, and the llooring of the pitzza ;
otherwise severely injured.
1 Ibo whole Island, west of and including the
1 Tennessee Row, was covered with wator on Fri -
day morning, at which time the storm attained its
> greatest height. The Ferry Wharf is gone. The
wharf at Mount Pleasant is standing, while the
> long bridge connecting it with the land is swept
off'. The cflicers at the Fort offered every accorn
> m-dation to tho people who took she.tor'there.—

, in the City.
1 The gale continued to abate from II o’clock Fri
day night, and by Saturday morning at 4 o’clock,
it had subsided into a rather gentle wind from the
t South-west. It set in from the North-east Thurs
day forenoon, and continued to blow from that
quarter until half past S I*. M. Friday when it
slowly shifted to the East. At 10 o'clock at night,
■ it hud changed to the South-east, and from that
point it gradually wore around to tho South-east,
the opposite point of the compass from whence it
started. It is still blowing as wo write (Saturday
afternoon) from tho South-west, though not vio
len’ ly.
We learn that the gale did not extend more than
sixty or seventy miles into the interior.
'lhe damage to property has boen incalculable,
i but we are glad to hear of ao lives being lost,
. though up to the time of writing nothing has been
I heard from tho plantations on the opposite side of
1 tho river, and above End and below the city. We
give below such details as have reached us to tho
time of putting our country edition to press.
damage in the city.
I'is impossible to convey to the distant reader
‘ ! an idea <>i the present aspect of the city. Os the
; hundreds of beautiful trees that ornamented the
squares and streets, at least ovor half of them have
boen blown down, and those standing have been
stripped oftheir branches and leaves. It was al
mo-t Impossible to get through tho town Saturday
morning, so completely were the streets blockaded
up. Monument square is a wreck; so is Orleans
square, opposite Mr. Robert Habersham’s resi
d nee. Indeed,the trees in every square and
sirte: in the city have been greatly injured. It
makes one i-ad to look upon SSouth Broad-street,
for nearly all of the four rows of the trees in it are
either prostrated or stripped of their foliage. The
enclosures around the squares havo also suffered
by the falling trees and branches. Forsyth Place
we understand, (ftor wo hove not seen it,) hrts suf
fered great y. Indeed, thero is not a tree, nor
plant, nor growing thing in tho city, that has not
been injured.
S'. John’s Episcopal Church has received great
injury. Two of the pinacles of the steenio were
carried away, one of which broke through the
roof at the ridge. AH the boautitul windows of
stained glass in front, and ono or two at tho sides,
as woll as those in the steeple, were driven in and
completely demolished. Tho entire tin covering
ot the roof was stripped off' and it is feared that
the organ and the interior ot the Church will be
much dairingod.
Tho roof of Trinity (Methodist) Church was
torn away, and the building otherwise injured.
_ A small portion of the slato on the Independent
Presbyteiian Church was carried off. The injury
is slight however.
The other Churches, as far os wo could learn,
have escaped with, perhaps, the loss of a shutter
or a few panes of glass.
Iho western half of tho roof of tho Exchange
was ripped off, and tho hands of the clock aro
pointing, uh wo write, toevery imaginable hour.
The tm covering of the Medical Collegowas also
carried away.
The crowning part of tho roof on the Theatre
was ripped up. and through the opening thus made,
tho rain poured down, doing groat damage to tho
scenery and paintings of tho artist now engaged
upon the interior of tho building. The injuiy wo
understand is great.
Iho roof of the Stato Bank was also considera
bly damaged, as well as the railing inclosing tho
building.
The damngo to tho Gas Works is considerable.
Ono of tho guides loadiug to tho gas holder was
brokeu off'and forced into tho luttor, badly injur
ing it and lotting out about 40,000 loot of gas. It
will require some days to get the othor gasomoter
in place and furnish tho city with gas, on account
of the brackishness of the water ;n tho river and
the consequent inability of tho Water Woiks to
furnish tho requistekind and supply of water. The
roof of r«tort and other houses wus much injured.
The extent of the loss is not known.
Iho gas posts in every part of the city havo suf
fered much injury, many of them being broken off
by falling trees aud blown down.
Tho splendid private residence of Edward Pa
dolford, and Andrew Low did not escape. The
lront projection on tho North-eastern side of the
former was curried away, while tho ontiro tin cov
ering of tho lutter was torn to shreds and blown
through tho air as if it had been parchment.—
Seudder’s block, near the Park, was completely
stripped, and Gordon block, near by, though more
fortunate, did not escapo without considerable in
jury.
Tho brick wall around Chatham Accademy, op
posite the Theatre, was blown to (feces, and sev
eral of the trees within were prostrated.
The roof the Rev. Mr. Rodgers’ house, and that
of Mr. Abram Minis and Dr. Martin, were strip
ped or their frail tin covering.
But wo forbear. It would require the whole of
one of our pages to givo the particulars of the in
jury to the roofs, chimneys, and enclosures of pri
vate houses. Walls and fences have been blown
down: windows and doors have been forced in;
shutters have boon wrenched off, and other dam
age done, which it is impossible to describe.—
With the exception of Mr. Jacob Waldburg’s
house, and a few others, there is scarcely a pri
vate tesidence or store in town having a tin or :
copper covering, which has not beon injured except
in cases whore some protection was afforded by
parapet walls ; and even here, these walls have
not always boon a sure protection. The roof of
Scudders’s building on the Bay, occupied by
Washburn, Wilder, & Co., which was undergoing
some repairs, was lifted up and turned completely i

Wm. B. Hodgson is erecting at the corner of Ball i
and Broughton-streets, was blown down upon the ,

and badly damaging it.
Turn where wo will, the streets and lanes aud i
squares are filled with pieces of slate, tin and ,
boards. It will require months, with the present
mechanical force in town, simply to repair the
roofs of houses. In the meantime, should it c n
tinue to rain, great injury must be done to the
iuterior decorations of buildiDgs and to furniture.
INJURY TO THE WHARVES, COTTON PRESSES AND BUILD
INGS ALONG TIIE BAY.
All the Eastern wharves were to r n up and flood
ed with 4 leet of water, as well as that part of Bay
street East of the Gas Works.
Miller’s Foundry was unroofed; so were the
Hydraulic, Lamar’s and Baldwin’s Cotton Press
establishments, and Willink s Ship Yard. Mr.
Miller had to wade through tho wator up to his
n ® . I 1 ? B t Q blos, where he had several horses,
which he swam out. The following is supposed
to bo the losses in that part of the city :
MiHer’s Foundry $2500
Hydraulic Press 15 „ 0
Lemur’s Press 1
Baldwin’s Press..’’’.
Wiliink’s Ship Yard....;;;.' 5000
A large quantity of goods, stored at'Lamar’s
press and imported for Augusta, together with 800
sacks ot salt, was lost or badly damaged, Mr.
Willink lost SISOO worth of ship s knees, besides
other property.
J. Roberts <fc Co’s, mill was considerably dam
aged, and a quantity of the lumber, &e., lost. We
cantio', however, give the amount oftheir loss.
A portion of the roof of Msj. Starke’s mill, on
Fig Island, was carried away, and the chimney
brokon off'even with the roof.
The Uglethorpo mill has sustained but little
damage.
W . B. Giles & Co.’s Mill has escaped all injury;
only u little lumber and timber lost.
'J lie Upper Rico Mill sustained no damage.
The tiu roof of the Water Works buildiugs was
partially carried away. The salt water having
been forced up the river above the city, tho Water
Works cannot furnish the usual supply.
Lachlison’s Foundry was entire.y stripped o f
itß tiu coveiing.
Tho wharves in the Western part of the city
were badly washed in some placos.
lhe tin root on the Georgia Steam Boat Com
pany’s buildings is entirely gODe.
Every shed and building along tho Bluff’, from
W iilink’sShip lard to the Canal, having a tin
root, was wholly or partially stripped.
With the exception of a few wooden shanties,
no buildings were blow down in the webtern part
of the city though there was great destruction of
fences, »tec.
iho sight from the Bay, looking up East Bread
street, is truly sad. A majority of the magnifi
cent trees in that street, and many wooden houses,
were prostrated.
Wm. B. Hodgson’s building at the head of Bay
stroet, is considerably damaged, the southern
parapet wall having been carried away.
The tin covering of A. A. Smets’ Warehouse is
is entirely gone; so is tho northern part of the
roof of the Counting house occupied by R. Hutch
inson.
lhe tin roof of the warehouse at the corner of
Bay aud I’rice-treets, occupied by F. 11. Welman
is also gone. The roots of W. Lynn’s and C. F.
Hamilton s counting houses received some dam
ago. W illiamson’s buildings loss their tin roof
and gutters.

. Injury to the Rice and Sea Island Cotton
- Crops.—Later accounts induced ua to believe that
a very small portion of the rice crops may bo saved
in a damaged condition. Ail the rice that wa
, cut and stacked on the field has been lost, and this
was by far the greatest part of the crop in this
State and a porfon of South Carolina. The little
that had not beon cut, above the point to which
- the gule lorced up the salt water, may possibly
, yield something, though it will bo little,
3 in a djmegod condition. The destruc.ion in the
vicinity ot Mr. James Potter’s plantation, some ten
t miles above the city, it is hoped is not so great
t though it cannot but be serious. Nothing how^
, ever, has been hear I from that quarter.’ The
t harvesting does not begin so soon north of this
, on the Carolina coast, and possibly the loss has
t not been so great in that State as in Georgia. The
' crO P * n t* l6 two States is roughly estimated a ? four
- to five millions, two thirds, and probably three
fourths of which has been destroyed. D. Screven
i a single planter, puts clown iiis at SSO 000.
Nothing has been heard from the Sea Island
i Cotton plantations on the coast below, but judging
, from the violence of the gale and the usual luxu
i riunco ol tho weed, it is believed that the Cotton
I has been torn and “ whipped” out to a deplorable
s extent. The loss from this source will also be
i very heavy.
hutchinscn’s island.
The whole of this island, opposite the eitv, ex
• cep* a few high place.-, was submerged. Th’e wa
-1 ter was live or six leet deep upon it in manv
places. There was great destruction of cattle on
tho island, though several horses and cows es
caped by fleeing to such elevated noints as they
could reach. 7
A great deal of lumber and ship timber were
washed from tho Island and lost.
c Four negroes belonging to Judge Huger, Os
South Carolina, were overtaken on tho northern
side of th*' Island; three of them ascended a tree,
and have not since been heard from—the other
one got upon a plank, aud succeeded in gaining
Col. Gram’s steam mills, from whence he reached
the city in safety.
LIGHT-HOUSE GONE—SHIPPING -IT TYBEE
Only the root of the light house on Fig island,
near the city, was carried away.
A pilot who came up the river Saturday morn
ing, says, the outer Light House on Tybee Island,
atthe month of the river, was blown down, also
that tho barque Douglass, lor Valparaiso, and the
barque Ernesto Pietro, for Plymouth (Eng.) both
bound out with lumber, went ashore on Tvbee
beach with all their spars gone.
The British easel Ellen and Lady Westmore
land, lying at Tybee, with cargoes of iron for the
Opelika Road, rode out the storm in sa'ety.
Nothing has been hoard from tho shipping out

New Publications. “Fifty Y'eabs in both
Hemispheres,” and “The Yolth of Jefferson,”
have both been handed us by MoKinne <fe 11 at.t,
We will endeavor to give our readers somo idea of
thoir contents to morrow.
Preventive to Yellow Fever.— A correspon
dent of tho Charleston Courier, who signs himself
“Wauderer,” gives us the following:
One-quarter ounce of copperas, powdered ; one
quarter ounce of sulphur, powdered; one quarter
ounce of charcoal, powdered—to be mixed togeth
er and carried about your person.
The above is a simple, but certain antidote to
yellow fever, and, if adhered to from this -late by
a majority of the citizens, yellow fever will have
disappeared from Charleston, or any other city
that is afflicted by it in 20 days. Try it, and thou
sands are saved.
Atlanta Tri-Weekly Examiner.—We have
inadvertently omitted a notice of this now journal,
which has been some days on our table. Tho
Examiner is published by William Ivay, and
edited by Dr. H. A. Ramsay aud B. R. Daniel,
Esq.
The politics of tho Examiner are State Rights-
Democratic, and it will sustain the present Admin
istration. It is a neat paper, and edited with
spirit and ability.
American Representations Abroad.— The Tri
bune has a letter from a special correspondent at
I aris who alleges that Mr. Belmont, the American
Minister at the Hague has commenced a regular
banking business in the office of the Legation,
the rent of which is paid by tho people of the (
United States, and in which is employed at this j
moment, throe clerks for tho transaction of the
business. The same writer accuses Mr. De Leon,
the American Consul General at Alexandria,
Egypt, of extorting four dollars for every pass
port he visas.
Kit alky ok Cities.— Tins two great cities of New
York and Philadelphia ought to set a hotter ex
ample to the small fry thau their gigantic quarrels
As the Wheeling Inie’ligeneer justly remarks
“the more they grow in wealth, trade and popula
tion, the more embittered the feud becomes.” The
Providence Journal thus speaks of it: “The annual
dispute between the New Yorkers and Philadel
phians did not commence this year as earlv as
usual ; indeed, the papers did not get to calling
each infamous till well into August. But as ihe
fall trade comes on, the Philadelphia editors
without any wish to disparage New York, but. nly
from the kindest motives, montion, tor the benefit
of their Western friends, that the cholera is raging
fearfully in the latter city ; while their New Ycrk
brethren, from the same encvolent impulse, pub
lish statistics to show that the average mortality of
Philadelphia is twice as groat as that of the other
great city—in fact that pretty much all the stran
gers die thero. As soon as this dispute gets pret
ty well under way, we shall have a renewal of the
di -cushion as to the relative population of the two
citios.” ‘'Look,” say the Philadelphians, “at the
superior comfort, the substantial prosperity of
I hiladelphia, see how much greater the number
ol houses in proportion to the population. A
moderate house, which shelters five or six of our
people, would overrun with as man y families in
New York : see, too, cur gardens and ample space
for light and air.” “Yes,” reply the New York
ers, “land is cheap in Philadelphia.” And so the
wordy contest rages, till the fall elections or the
returning tide of business and population affords
other occupation for the columns of the newspa
pers.”
The great me'ropoiitan papers could be belter
occupied. Nothing is gained by newspaper war
of city upon city. It is a Kilkenny cat fight, in
which each swallows the other.
Death of Du. Schlsy.—We regret to learn that
a despatch was received here yesterday m ornin
from Augusta, announcing the death at Richmond
Hill near that place, of Dr. Freeman Schley of
Savannah. This is a most sad event. The de
ceased was seized by the prevailing epidemic seme
days ago, and just after his elder brother, Dr. J.
M. Schley, was attacked, and both of them were
taken to Richmond Hill, ts e family seat, tor bet
ter nursing and purer air. The change, it seems,
brought no relief to the subject of this notice,
though, we are giad to state, bis elder brother
was doing well at the last accounts.
The deceased was quite a young men, having
returned to this country a few months ago from
Paris, whither he had been to enjoy the advanta.
ges of the medical schools of that city. He was a
disciple of Homoepathy, and had commenced the
practice of his profession here with every prospect
of success and credit to himself.
His death will Carry grief to the hearts of a large
circle of friends and relations among the most re
spectable people in Georgia.— Savannah Re-pub .,

» Alum Springs in Greenville.—We were shown
- specimens of alum rock, the other day, by Mr.
3 Wallace B. lour, which he brought from his lands'
> on the Saluda river in this district. Mr. loor in

3 the place which has been resorted to by some of
r the dd women in order “to set their dye.” At
- present the river encroaches on the spring, but
i can be wailed out. The specimens of rock shown
us are very strongly impregnated with alum. It
wiil boa great thing to have in Greenville au aluta
soring, which cures all scrofulous diseases. Ia
Virginia, the alum springs are resorted to by hun

hope Mr. loor wi.l set to work and make his for

will be contributing to the prosperity of the Dis
