tervet, the cruets lalria, must he t'doZa/ria—vThe |
worship of the cross must be the worship of an
idol.) No matter by what scbolastick name it j
may he called, whether inferior, relative, or analo
gical worship, it is worship still; nor will these
mitigating terms weaken in the least the force of
the Second Commandment. As theft will be
theft, whether it be called absolute or relative , or
be performed for this or that eud, so are the sal- j
ntations, genuflexions, prostrations, lighting can
dles, burning incense, and prayers to images, acts
that have at least an idolatrous tendency, what
ever distinction the learned may make between
absolute and relative worship. Thus the parity
between the worship which the Heathens pay to j
their idols, and Homan Catholick* to their images |
is evident, notwithstanding the former are Poly- I
theists, and the latter. Theists. If the one paid ,
• relative worship so did the other.
In the Arian controversy, the Fathers consider
ed those who denied the Divinity of Christ, idola- i
ters, for paying the same external worship to
Christ that they did lo Cod ; an I no small inge
nuity was exhibited in attempting to remove the
charge which was so legitimately fastened upon
them. But if in the opinion of the Fathers, the
Arians were idolaters, in what light would they
have viewed the angels many, and the saints ma
ny, >f the Roman Catholick Church ? Modern
Popery, we know, has put off many of its grosspr
features ; bui even among the most polished wri
ters, and in the most polished countries where it
prevails, its real texture appears through the glo*-
wnh which it is covered. M. Chateaubriand, for
instance, has frequent passages of this kind :
“Does the believer suffer? He prays to his little
| image and is comforted. Does he want the re
turn of his relative or hi* friend l He makes a vow
and takes the pilgrim’s staff; he springs over tin
Alp or the Pyrenees, and visits our Lady at Lorel
to, or St. Jarues iu Gallicia : He prostrates hiiu
gelf, he prays the saint to restore him his sou
(perhaps a poor sailor boy wandering on the seas)
to prolong his father’s days, or to raise his gonii
wife from a bed of sickness. His heart is lighten
ed—He returns to his hut —Cjvered with shells,
he makes his hamlet echo with his conch, and in
wild and tender notes he chants the condeseen
6ion of Mary, the Mother of God.” G*nie du

Distressing Intelligence.
The mails for sometime have been so irregular,
it was not until the close of the past week, tlnr
we receive'* any correct information relative ti
the late gale, from any part of the sea-board, ex
cept Savannah and its immediate vicinity. He
melancholy tale ha at length arrived —aud in ad
dition to the narrations heretofore given'of tin
ruin of property, we have now to record the
destruction of life itself. If we except the -con
flagration of Savannah in 1820, a more distressing
calamity has never befallen any portion of our
State, ‘ve have given below all the particulars
which have reached ns—it will probably be seve
ral weeks before the whole extent of loss is ascer
tained
Savannah, Sept. 25.
The ravages of the storm, in our immediate vi
cinity, have been confined principally to the los
ses of individuals, in property, which is as noth
ing when compared with the distressing and fatat
accounts we have received from D.-riett, where,
as will be seen irmu our details of this day, the
most dreadful sacrifice of human life has taken
place.
From Tapt. Vernard, of the schooner Thorn,
arrived yesterday, and by letters brought by him,
we learn that the hurricane w,,- tremendous and
its effects awful, at Darien aud its neighbour
hood.
At Mr. J. Snow’s, postmaster, plantation, .-even
miles from Darien on the sea b<-ird, Mi” Harris
on, a sister of Mrs. Snow, her two little brothers,
Mr. Rufus R. Merrill, who was (here on a visit,
and all the house servants except one unfortunate
ly perished.
The letter from which the above i taken, says,
that the whole of Vlr. Snow’s family excepting
himself and wife,* had perished, and tha’ Ihe
•hove names were among those who were hot.
The family consisted of ten person’ altogether
whether they were all at Vlr. Snow’s country
place or not, we have yet to learn
Mrs. Lafon, a widow lady of Patterson Island,
nd the whole of her negroes, were swept aw,v
by the water and drowned.
At Creighton Island, Mr. Thou. Miller, aged
about seventeen, on of Mr. .lohn Miller, of thi
city, and a person of the name of Miller, employ
ed on the plantation, were both killed by the fall
Os the dwelling house. Two negroes are rni“ing
The negroes of Mr. James While, near Darien.
Were all lost but one.
The loss of eighty three lives has already been
ascertained—fourteen of which were white.
On St. Simon’s Island, all the property i’ des
troved. But only one life as yet known to be
lost. On Sapelo I dam) Mr. Spalding lost all his
out buildings and crop, and one negro. The over
leer’s father, two sons and four or five negroes
serished.
In Darien, Mr. King’s store was blown down,
ind also two stores of Mr. G. Atkinson’s and one
>f H. T. Hall's, besides a number of others, to
other with almost all the fences and trees in the
ity, and the place presents a most gloomy ap
pearance.
The sloop Favourite was driven up some dis
lance into Mr. Nephew’s cotton field, where she
Steow lies. The sloop Two Friends went to pieces.
|® he Schooner Thorn was carried up on the wharf
but was got off without damage.
I The following is an extract ofa letter from Mr
gWm. Scarborough.
1 “The damage we sustained, has been trifling,
ran comparison with what most others have suffer
■ed. The greater part of the tile was torn from the
proof of the Rice Mill and Engine House, and those
lon the Boiler House, broken by the precipitation
f*f the others. The gable end of the aw mill
[was whirled off, aud between forty ant fifty feet
■es the roof (but not the principal rafters) were
blown away in mass, from one hundred to om
hundred and fifty feet. The sheet lead forming
the gutters weighing near five hundred pounds,
was torn off and carried thirty or forty feel. The
Jbundation of the mill, nor any other part of the
brick work suffered any damage, notwithstanding
the tide wa from three to four feet in the cellar
the rice mill. We have been very assiduous
In repairing the damage, and I hope to-night we
shall be where tve were before the gale coiumen
ed. The Cooper’s House was prostrated, as
Well as the greater part of the fences.”
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Darien,
dated 18th inst.
>s Nothing appears around us here but a Bceoe
*f destruction. The storm experienced on the
Bight of the Htb has rained this section of the
- - T St ‘ % H
country. The Jest ruction of property is immense
and many lives lost.”
Extract of another letter of the same date.
“ To attempt to describe the effects of the gale
with us, would be undertaking a task which I am
bold to say no man -an do justice to. 1 will not
pretend to say any thing of it further than that it
has been wi h us and has passed, desolating and
making bare every thing in its passage. The
damage lo property is beyond calculation, the
loss of lives immense—l suppose in our county
not short of one hundred persons have been des
troyed, some of the most heart rending and melan
choly cases—whole families separated and crush
ed amid the ruins of the buildings, or drowned in
the water thrown up from the sea. I look upon it
as death to all our prospects. I do not know
what is to become of the county.
Columbia, S C. September 24.
The Late Storm. —The damage done to the
corn, cotton and rice, in this state, it is believeil.
upon all average, may be correctly calculated al
half the whole crop. Some planters have lost
their entire crop of corn and cotton. These are
generally the most wealthy, who own immense
plantations in the swamps and low grounds, which
have been totally covered with water. The tields
looked like broad lakes, with here and there a
small knoll or island, above water. It was real
ly distressing in the highest degree, to get into a
canoe and traverse some of the swamps and low
grounds. Many persons neglected to move away
their cattle and hogs in time; and their floating
dead bodies drifting against trees and rafts of tim
ber, every where marked the ravages of the flood.
VVe have conversed with some of the most con
siderable Planters on this river, some of whom
own considerable estates reputed the safest from
the effects of floods, and they all agree ill the fact.
-I the total destruction of tlie crops, both of Corn
and Cotton, from the slreight reach, at the tails
below Granby, to the month of the river, will) the
exception only of a few particular spots, amount
ing to less than an hundredth part of the planting
I tnds actually inundated This report ha- not
been made from conjecture , but actual inspection
m boats.
To shew more feelingly, how severely these
lainagep will he felt by individuals of Carolina, it
is -aid, Col John Taylor’s losses amount to four
or fire hundred bales of cotton, alone ; and we
have understood Gen. Hampton's is double that
amount. We mention these estates, because they
>re among the few that are situate so high up the
river as to have been accounted, to a great extent
at le.isi. free from the hazard of freshets, the in
jmy sustained on them therefore, is a proof that
nothing can have been saved below.
l he damage clone is not confined to the river
lands, which comprise iu their productions, about
one third of the state. The damage to the river
lands is nearly total. But all the low grounds of
the uplands, the flats, or ponds, creeks, swamps,
&c. whereon in every plantation, the best corn
and cotton is made, have bten so covered and
deluged with water, as to ertate a state of things
never before witnessed in this country.
Idle extreme drought preceding these recent
rains, had -topped at an earlier period than usual,
the growth of the highland corn and cotton, and
forced open most ol the early pods of cotton be
fore the rains commenced, and the later Ibriu.-
iud blossoms have fallen off, as they usually do,
during and after severe droughts. The pods oi
cotton, and in some instances, even the ears ol
corn ,re iu a state of second vegetation. Tin
seed have sprouted in the bowl, and the green
leaves’ shot out as thick as though *hey wen
planted, and growing from the ground. This is
the ease even upon the top of die cotton stalks
( litre are fields where more Ilian half of the cot
ton pods were so growing. Besides this remarka
ble injury to lhe cotton, one-fourth of the pod.
are entirely rotten. More injury is said to have
been sustained on the Wateree than upon the
Congaree. I bis unexampled des'ruetiou of the
crops is said to extend throughout the states of
Georgia. Alabama, and as far as the Mississippi.
After such a severe infliction of Providence, it is
much to be hoped, that the sympathies and for
bearance of our fellow-citizens will afford to each
| other every alleviation and indulgence, which
their liberality and good sense must permit.
Fears were entertained for the safety of the
Toil mhia and Saluda t’anals. They have sus
tained however, little or no injury, and are now
ready for the pas-age of boats.
!t affords us soim gratification to say, that the
driver of the Aiiguta stage was not drowned u
"■pc,, .ed in our la-t paper, and that hut one horse
was lost. The body of the unfortunate Blocker,
was lound on Sunday last, and interred the sam.
day in the Baptist burying ground of this place.
