These awful facts haw been aTeettained
by Dt J. \V. M.cocli, of Columbia, who
spent four days as the special Tillman repre
scutative of Governor at
Beaufort and vicinity. Iu point of
fact,the whole truth is not yet known,
as, on account of the impossibility tke of
at present making a circuit of I
score or more of islands that make np !
this archipelago, but enough foregoing has been :
developed to warrant the
statement as to the death and devasta
tion. All these islands were sub
