Saturday night last very sev. storms visited the cities along tl south Atlantic coast and. sopsidera^l damage was done.

The topic , of the sermon had been advertised as usual, and the church was jammed. The preacher read the history of the sickness ot King Hezekiah as-told in' , „ . , , 3 - the second book of Kings, and said that was badly damaged. A number the King, who was sick unto death, was in the same condition as the Pres ident. His text was from Isaiah, for. The Augusta News says that at this early day it canffot advise as to what the democrats ought to do iu regard to the election of a president pro tern, of the senate. XVby will the News thus keep the country in cruel suspense? Mrs. S. R.

Several flour and rice mills were unroofed, and their contents flooded, A large por tion of the city was under water for several hours. The Central railroad wharves were badly damaged.

Three persons perished. The family of David Bowens, colored, comprising seven persons, drowned. A colored woman and her four children were washed away in their house. All of the people at Shad island were drown* ed. At Fort Pulaski the officer's quarters were flooded. The telegraph lines to Savannah are all down.

MCEEH The Sumter Republican claims to be the largest weekly in the state, except the XVeekly Atlanta Constitus tion, the XVeekly Augusta Chronicle & Constitutionalist, the XVeekly Mas con Telegraph & Messenger, the Weekly Savannah News and the Wesleyan Christian Advocate. The Republican is one column larger than the Weekly Banner, but it costs twice as much. The XVeekly Banner, at $1 a year, is the cheapest weekly in the state—without any exception. It is to be regretted that the law does not pay legislators a salary— say $30C a year. Then if they want ed to stay at the capital and consume a whole year, in amending the act to amend the act to fix the compensa tion of constables in Charlton county, or in repealing the act to authorize Jeremiah Tootle of Tattnall, to build a fish-trap in Muddy creek, they could do so, and the treasury would be none the worse off. As it is, every day of the session adds to the ex pense, and the work of many of the days would belter be left undone. ROOD FORTUNE.

A. Hurricctt 4ohr W. Nicholsom Most of our readers, we are sure, will be glad to hear of the good for* tune which has recently come to Gen. Gordon and Gov. Colqnilt, as re* cently stated in the Banner. That statement was incorrect in one par ticular—the proportion of the $700,. 000 which fell to each one. That amount was divided equally among the four partners. The Constitution, n few days since, gave the lull par ticulars of the transaction. Besides the $700,000 in cash which has beeu paid to these gentlemen, they own 81,000,000 worth of stock in the Richmond & Danville extension company—a company which is now engaged in building the Georgia Pa cific road, and this stock is said to be at a premium. XVe congratulate these distirN gnished gentlemen on the large wealth which they have acquired, and there are thousands of people throughout the state—and beyond— who will hear of it with intense pleas ure. The House passed the bill allowing a divorce lrom bed and board on the verdict ot one special jury. XVe hope the senate will not pass the bill. It ought not to be easy to get a divorce. The shameful laws on this in some of tho northern states, and their deplorable consequences, should make Georgia slow to remove any of the obstacles to divorce. The present law requires the concurrent verdicts of two juries. It is a wise law and has worked well. If divorces are easily obtained, more persons will be tempted to sue for them. Husband and wife will be loss inclined to en dure minor unpleasantnesses and dis agreements—less inclined to bear and forbear with one another; and they will find less inducement to regard marriage as a life*tinie engagement. Let it be understood that it is next to impossible to untie the marriage knot, and matrimony will be entered into all the more cautiously ; and liavs ing once been entered upon, many things will be endured and thus cured which, uuder lax divorce laws, would lead to separation. Jesus Christ, the Savior and Great Teacher of mankind, declared that there should be no separation of those married, save for one cause ; and the nearer human laws come to this, the nearer perfect they will be. “Incora'* palibilitv of temper” is a variable thing. Sometimes it means more; sometimes leas. In many cases—in most cases, we may safely say—it can he cured by hearty and united effort. If it cau be readily made a cause of divorce, its tendency will be to aggra vate itself instead ot curing itself. XVe do not believe that there ever was or ever will be an incompatibility ot temper between husband and wife so great that it could not be overcome if the parties truly love each other. It is desire for license and not for liberty which frequently impels those who seek to bo divorced. The laws ou this subject, then, should be made as stringent as possible. Let married people understand that it is easier to reconcile their differ ences than it is to obtain a divorce, and there will be more inducement to reconcile and less to attempt separation. The present law should certainly not be relaxed, and we hope the senate will counter act the work ot the house, on the subject. Can't Pomp Him Dry. New Haven Register. It is difficult to get the noise out a boy. Of course you can get some noise out of him, but you never can draw off bia entire supply. Ten fonrth of July s and three circus pa rades would leave him just as full as he was when he begun. this morning.’ said Mr. Talmage, ‘give a ray of hope, and who knows but our President may come forth and ride in these streets in triumph. God grant it! [Applause.] But the indications are not iu that direction, and while I comfort you I must com fort my own soul. ; ‘Alleviation first: James A. Gar field is prepared to exchange worlds if God sees fit to call him, tor he long ago settled the matter of his future. There was nothing ot cant or whining or lugubriousness about his religion. He had outsandsout faith in God, as his sermons in churches, yes, and his speeches in Congress haveshown. The lust thing that he did before leaving his home in Mentor to go to Wash ington to take his oath ot office was to partake of the sacrament of the Lord’s Supper, and tears rolled down his face while he did it. He has said to one of his physicians that he is ready to go, and if he dies his deaths bed will be in the most radiant sense a Christian deathbed. It puts me more than ever in love with the old Gospel, the Gospel of One who died by cruel assassins. O Christ, pity, then, the anguish ot our beloved President! He is the most pronounced Christian of any President we ever had. ‘Alleviation second: Ilis family will be magnificently provided for. ‘Alleviation third: If our Presi dent dies, then this nation, without a moment’s halting, will march right on to continued prosperity. It the President had died when he was shot then there would have been other pistol shots, panic, and perhaps na tional delirium. The heart of the na tion is very sore, but its head is level. [Applause.] Oue life will be taken, but not by mob law. A Judge will take his place on his bench; a jury will, in silence like that of the grave, listen to testimony and argument; a sentence will be given; a stout rope ,wilt be procured; a gallows erected, and this accursed Guiteau will hanged by the neck until he be dead. [Continued applause.] All this will soon he behiud us, and thb nation will move on. As to the man who will take the President’s place >f he dies, I say, give him a fair chance. Some politicians prophesy trouble ahead,but I make a religious prophecy, and it is this: God will give a special blessing in a special emergency, and the chief ideas of Garfield’s administia- tion will be carried out by Gen. Ar thur’s administration: Postmaster General James has sent'eonsternation into the ranks of the Star Route con tractors. Secretary XVindom has wrought a miracle of financiering. Secretary Lincoln, [applause] ad mired by all for his own and tor his father’s sake [applause], will remain. All will stay. There will be great delicacy in the management of the administration, you say. Yes I re ply; and I add that the opportunity will he unlimited and unequalled. ‘Alleviation fourth: If he dies, then the president dies at the best time. He suffered enough abuse in the political campaign last fall to last one man a life time He would have had much trouble in carrying out some of his reforms, even if he could have accomplished them at all. I speak of such as his intentions of ex tirpating Morinonism. The licence of the printing press is getting to be something damnable. The President dies to escape more insult. The great er his contemplated reforms, the greater the insults to him. In six months he has accomplished more than other Presidents undertook to accomplish in four years, and failed at that. I mean the complete and eters nal pacification of north and south. More meetings are held in the south than in the north to express sympa thy tor the President. An influence goes from that sick room that will last as long as the Government stands. Alleviation fifth: This business of office-seeking is disgustingly offensive. It is full ot unmingled and burning revenge. It was just this that shot the president: *Give me what I want or I will kill you.’ For months alter the inauguration the hotels of X\ T ash- ington were roosts for these buzzards. Guiteau was no rarity; all the others 1 were mad enough to shoot the pres ident, but they hadn’t the courage. You could see the thirst for blood in their eyes Harrison and Taylor were worried to death by place-hunters. Jackson said in conversation once : ‘Sir, people want to be President of the United Slate. I want to tell ’em this place is a perfect hell!’ In God’s name [Mr. Talmage thrust both arms rigidly above his head] let this thiug stop. Three Presidents have beeu sacrificed. ‘Alleviation sixth : This outburst of sympathy for the President is sublime. It comes from everybody and in every direction, in all manner of shapes and at all times.

The uncer tainty ot human life impresses ns. The most brilliant mind which ever occupied the White Honse [applause], he started out for a holiday, and was taken back in an ambulance. If he only could get well, how we would ring bells, fire cannon, and toach off pyrotechnics! [Applause.] But I fear that the message will soon come shud* six of the storm. The damage was very great. A feeling of uneasiness and apprehension generally prevailed, and words are inadequate to describe the fierceness and destructiveness of the gale. The globes on scores of the gas lamps were broken by the fallen limbs! and tho lights extinguished. Darkness was thus added to the ap palling character of the night. The northern Iront of the market building was blown in and the roof badly dam aged, and presents a very shocking appearance, rather dangerous in its present condition. Many persons were afraid to occupy the upper stories of their houses, and there were hundreds who enjoyed but little sleep, remaining up all night in apprehension of trouble. The tin roof of the Morning News building was torn up and carried off, and the rain poured throilgh in tor rents, flooding the composing room, and the compositors finished their work ankle deep in water. The rain continuing, the water forced its way through the ceiling into the various departments of the office, including the editorial rooms, the bindery, job department, ana even to the press room and paper wareroom. The damage ih very great. At last the night of horror came to an end, and daylight dawned unon such a scene of wreck and ruin as has never before been witnessed within the memory of the oldest inhabitant. The memorable storm of 1854,though in the memory of some, possibly as severe, was not as destructive and prolonged, and the damage was not as general. Throughout the entire city, from the eastern to the western, ami from the northern to the south ern borders, there is not a street or square which does not show the ef fects of tbe frightful gale of the 27th of August, 1881, which will pass into history as an event that brought in its train fearful desolation, woe and destruction. From East Broad to XVest Broad there were few buildings that entirely escaped the fury of the storm. Nearly all the offices ou the north side ot the Bay were damaged ou tho river front and the roofs of many were carried away. A number of stocks ot goods were badly damaged. All the parks and cemeteries suffered; trees are down and railings broken and rained. The Georgia infirmary is a wreck. Some of the patients were slightly injured. Several steamers and yachts were more ’or less damaged. The new yacht Georgia Belle was blown away and has not been found. The steamer Carrie was driven some dis tance into the marsh. A house was swept into the river with Mr. Stokes, his wife and two children. Mrs. Stokes and the children were drowned. The nee plantations have been seriously damaged. Mr. Richard Fitzgerald, engineer of the steamer H. B. Plant, was drowned. The loss of life among the colored people occupying the little huts on the rice plantations aud along the river must be very great. All these huts have disappeared, and it seems impossible that with such disadvantages to eontend against that they could all have saved themselves. On Tybee Island, the house of Mr. Henry Solomon was blown down, and in a few minutes the ruins took fire. Mrs. Solomon and her son Na thaniel were rescued. Mrs. George ana Wolf, and daughter ot Z. Falks, Esq., and her little daughter, Hallio, and her young brother, Joshua Falks, perished in the flames. These unfor tunate victims were crushed to death, as Mrs. Wolf’s skull was found to be fractured, and uo cries were heard except from those who were after wards rescued. Several other houses on the Island were blown down. The family of David Bowens, comprising his wife and six children, were all drowned, their cabin, on the planta tion of Dr. Waring, being washed into the river, which was raging high at that point. Directly opposite to this piace, a cabin was washed away, aud a colored woman and tour chil dren were drowned, Henry Douglas, colored, reports that all hands on Shad Island were drowned. He and his wife and four childreu were in their house, which was upset, and all were lost except himself. On the Augnsta road, two miles from the city, a house occupied by colored people was blown down about eight o’clock, by the gale, and Jennie Ann Jackson, a child aged three years, was killed. The child’s falhei had his arm broken. At Louis ville, about three miles from the city, on the Middle Ground road, a house was prostrated by the storm about nine o’clock, and burying beneath the ruiDS Willie Menor, killed him in stantly.

Railroad) seeking employment as a miner of coal. When it was dis covered that he was stone blind he .was laughed at, aud it was though tan impossibility "for a blind mao to dig coal. He persisted in his efforts to secure a place, only asking that a fair test be given him. After a short time he was carried into the mine and there proved .his efficiency as a miner. He works without a lamp, as that .would be offfio benefit to &'person deprived 6f eyesight.'' The coal mined by this man is said to be as dear of slate and dirt as that of any one employed in the mines, and the yield from* his room as great as that of ether miners His little son leads-him to the mines and. into his work room, leaving bis father during the day, who digs coal, sepa rates it from the dirt and other sub stances, keeps the roof of his room propped up, loads the small cars and pushes them out to i:be main track, as if he possessed the eyesight of two peraens, JkMMghtohadntituhaainwi .*» turns to tbe mines, takes his father by the hand and leads him home.

CnrOfld's Unflinching Determination. From the Post. XX’Xshin'gton, Aug. 29."—As hope returns, more is learned in detail of the terrible anxiety ot last Friday. It appears that the surgeons, after the alarming symptoms of the morning, decided that it was useless longer to continue the struggle, and two of them were selected to wait upon Mrs. Gar field and to inform her that medical science could do no more and that she must prepare for the worst. The in terview which occurred between these surgeons and Mrs. Garfield will, if re ports are true, be regarded as one of tbe most dramatic incidents in this ex traordinary ca«e. Capt Henry, Mar shal of this District, a friend ot tho President and his family, says that Mrs. Garfield heard the news with great composure, and that smothering her emotion, she arose aud said: ‘Gentleman, you shall not give him up. He is not a going to die. He is going to live. I feel, I know it. Go back to your post, every one of you, and leave it not until every remedy is exhausted, until death itself has set its seal upon him, for I will not believe that he is dying. Go back and do what you can. X r ou cannot do more, but don’t give up. I am his wife, and I say that we will not give up until the end itself is upon us.’ Mrs. Gar- held has never surrendered more than a moment or two at a time to her grief, and then she has retired to her room, and after a brief absence has returned to her post of duty) at the President's bedside. AFFAIRS IN GEORulA. An Abundance ot Corn. Tbe advance in corn Has checked the manufacture o f whiskey, and now the probability is that tbe dear people who will have whiskey will have to pay higher for it than they have been doing. It is astonishing how many pleasures m this life depend upon a lull corn crop, and it is still more as tonishing that people do not take more care to secure a full crop. An abun dance of corn makes almost every ne cessity of life cheap in this country. And yet there are some people who will*drink just as much whiskey as ever before. Mr. Jack Pittman was killed in Ber rien county, by a tree falling on him. The Saturday night storm blew down and unroofed house- at Jesup. Hun. E. II. Cohen, mayor of Madi son^ died Monday night, aged sixty- two. Mr, Thomas A. Ford fell out of a second story window in Decatur, and was killed. Mr. A. J. Sweat and his wife of XVaycrnss, were chloroformed, and their house robbed. It seems that tho estimate’ of $1- 000,000 loss in Savannah from the storm will not be far out of the way. Three negroes outraged the wife of the station-master at No. 9 Central railroad. They will probably be caught. Messrs. King X\ T alker and Joe Milli gan were thrown out of a buggy in Augusta Tuesday, and the former was killed. Dave Wofford, colored, is in Bar, tow county jail, charged with attempt at outrage on a young white woman He is 75 oi 80 years old. The citizens ofColumbns have club bed in and will have constructed a new steam boat for the river. They are opposed to a monopoly in that line. Judge XVatson, • of Meriwether county, will make 5,000 bushels of corn and 225 bales of cotton. A great deal of his land will make 30 bushels of corn to the acre. Senator Hill thinks that if Arthur comes to the presidency, he will make a good ruler; and that if Conklincr exerts any influence on the adminis tration it will be for good. Captain J. N. Dobbs, of Bartow county has mado this year 2,000 mel ons on three acres of land, and will clear about $150 per acre; some of them weighed fifty-six pounds. The Columbus Times says that while John Johnson, of Troy, Ala., was drunk and beating his family, his son, 13 years old shot and killed" him with a pistol. Tbe community justify the boy. While Mr. Robert T.

The little daughter of Mr. Thomas Coleman, of Dawson, was burned to death Saturday evening, while trying to kindle a fire with kerosene. A daughter ot Mr. John Price, was pain' fully burned on the same day and the same way. Mr. Sidney Jordan, in Sumter county, left his five-year-old boy ib a buggy, while he carried a sack of corn into a mill. The mule backed over the dam into the pond and drowned the little boy and himself. Mr. Jordan was nearly drowned try* ing to rescue his son. LKiHTNIMi’S FREAKS. Three hundred and forty birds wore killed by one stroke of lightning as they sat in a tree at Owensboro, Ky. Mabe Worrill, a counterfeiter, was killed by lightning while lying in the woods near Knoxville, to avoid ar rest. At Kenton, Ohio,) lightning went through the roof of Joseph Fahl's barn, and through his hay into the floor below, without firiug it. George Ilengstler, a telegraph op erator at Evansville, Ind., tried to save some paper which took fire trom lightning, when a second flash came and killed him. B. W. llusco and wife, of Norwalk Connecticut, were thrown trom their wagon by lightning, but not injured. The horse was knocked down and the wagon overturned. In Richmond, Pennsylvania, a man was walking on the track of the Al legheny railroad, when a flash of light ning caused him to look up. His umbrella had a blue streak upon it, one of the steel ribs was melted, and the cloth top was in flames. He es caped without injury. The. Parotid Glands. Phi!adelphia.Timc». Now everybody will be wanting to know all abont the parotid glands, the right one of which in the President is reported as in a state of inflamation. These glands derive their name from two Greek words which express the idea of nearness to the ear. They lie one on each cheek, below the ear and, of course, forward of it. The functiou of these glands is the secretion of sali va, and they are the largest of any ot the salivary glands. Each is furnished with a tube or duct a lit tle over two inches long, which opens on the inner part of the cheek, oppo site the upper jaw. Each gland weighs about one ounce. The other salivary apparatus is composed ot the sub maxillary gland and the sublin gual glands, which He, as their names indicate, the former under the lower jaw and the latter under the tongue. In protracted low fevers the parotid gland is frequently the seat of fevers, and sometimes even of abscesses. In flammation of this gland, although annoying and painful, is not necessa rily a serious symptom. Why they Handed him In Efltgy. Chicago, III., Aug. 28.—A special from Quincy gives the following facts relative to the burning in effigy of the editor of tbe Herald. ‘On the lllh inst. the editor of the Daily Herald, in a leading editorial, issued this lan guage : ‘We beiteve Guiteau to he )tist as honorable as the mau he shot, and a mighty sight less dangerous to the country at large.’ The Herald editor has, from time to time since that date, reiterated and aggravated this statement by such assertions as ‘When the doctors finish Guitoau’s work, as they seem likely to do, there will be no national sorrow.’ He also added that he bad the support ‘of all reputable democrats everywhere.’ Public indignation against the Her ald ran high among reputable demo crats as well as republicans, and the feeling of anger culminated last night in tbe banging and burning in effigy of the editor of the Herald, together with a companion effigy to Guiteau. In this demonstration both republi cans and democrats were engaged, but no personal violence of any kind was attempted or proposed.'
