HARTFORD, SEPT. 10.
THE GALE.

We were visited by gale of wind
on Monday evening last, which was
more severe than any which we recol-
led to have witnessed before, not ex-
cepting the September gale in 1875
1t began to blow in this city at I O'Clock
in The eyening-the wind to the S. E.
In New-Hayen, it began an hour earlier,
and in New-York it commenced at S
O'Clock, with the wind to the N. E.
In Philadelphia, the storm began as
early as 9 O'Clock in the afternoon. In
the western part of Connecticut there
was little wind, but very heavy fall
of rain which did great damage to
bridges and roads. We have heard
from most Of the towns above US on
the Connecticut river, for the distance
Of so or so miles, and the storm seems
to have been about as violent as it was
here.
In this city, a number of chimnies
we're blown down, and a great many
fruit and shade trees Frustrated Sew
eral out-buildings were demolished in
this place, and new house in the up
per part of the city was blown down.
AtcWindsor and East-Hartford, many
buildings were blown down or unroofed,
and we learn that Mather's Glass w orks,
in the latter town, are totally destroyed.
In the town Of Wethers6eld, we are
told, there are not less than 40 build
ings blown down, unrooled, OF ether
The Massachusetts spy. [volume] (Worcester [Mass.]) 1821-1823, 1821-09-12

wise materially injured. The doors of
one house, the family of which were
absent were forced open, the fire
blown from the hearth, and the building
consumed. A brick schoolhouse stand
ing on the green, was unroofed, and the
two end walls blown down, leaving the
side walls, which were parallel with the
winds, standing upright.
At Middletown, the steeple of the
Episcopal Church was blown down, and
the roof of the Methodist Westinghouse
blown off. Many other buildings were
more or less injured.
At New-Haven the damage was tri-
fling to the shippingin the harbour; but
we are sorry TO record the destruction
OF the new Methodist Westinghouse,
the roof of which was finished but few
hours before the gale. 1t was large
brick building, and it was expected
would cost more than $4,000 when
finished. The walls are demolished to
within three feet of the ground.
The doors of house in Windham.
were blown open, the fire scattered, and
the house consumed.
The morning after the gale, the
steamboat Fulton left NeW-Haven for
New-London, where she arrived safe
ly the same day. She has since made
two trials to get back to New-Haven,
but failed in consequence of heavy sea
in the sound. In her first attemnt sbe
half accomplished the trip, but could
not get through, and put back and on
second trial, the following day, she
lost her rudder. The passengers have
since passed through this place in stages
for New Y ork. TCoan. .N;rror
The Massachusetts spy. [volume] (Worcester [Mass.]) 1821-1823, 1821-09-12

torn in many places. The trees in
Grand-street almost all lie PROSTATE,
with the large willow IN the park in
front of our hotel. The others are
broken off and otherwise Injured. A
ship lays near the old village OF Commu-
nipaw, and the town itself has received
more or less damage. Some roofs and
chinlnies blown down, and one or two
houses overturned, and the docks, sc.
washed away. A large topsail schooner
lies ashore in the cove, high and dry.
AT Hoboken more or less damage is
done; the wharves being washed away.

More disasters by the late gale.-The
schr. Winyaw, Capt. Grifing, from Gull
ford for Newly DIRK, owing to the vio-
lence Of the gale on Monday afternoon,
was compelled to drop anchor off Cow
Bay, and after riding short time, part
ed both cables, and drifted over on the
rocks at New-Rochelle, on the Maine,
and instantly went to pieces The Capt.
and crew chung to parts of the wreck
until the tide fell TO low water, when
they succeeded, at great hazard, in get
ting on shore, with the loss of all their
clothes except what they had on their
backs.
. At Rockaway the effects f.the gale
are of a most melancholy nature. A
number of wood sloops, and other craft,
were driven on shore along the beach,
and seventeen souls persisted. Three
were driven into Jamaica Inlet, bottom
up. At Long Branch or Z coasters
were driven ashore high and dry. At
Jamaica, number of barns were blown
down, and the fences, corn, and many
trees, laid PROSTATE. Mr. Van Nostrand,
one of the proprietors of the Jamaica
line of stages, lost horse which was
crushed to death by the falling of the
barn occupied by him. A black man,
who was endeavouring to rescue the
horses from their perilous situation, was
struck by large stick of timber, and
instantly killed.
Our accounts from New-Haven and
all along Long Island Sound, on the main
side, present melancholy aspect. The
steam boat Connecticut, with upwards
of so passengers, on her way from N.
Haven TO this place, went ashore in the
Cove between the Fort and Light House,
at New Haven. The new brick Meth
odist Church in New-4avea was blown
entirely down. About Fifty chimnies
and a great number of trees were blown
down. The new stores building on the
Long Wharf were considerably injured.
The Light House at Black Rock was
entirely destroyed. Ibid.

WORCESTER,
WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER IL, 1921.
The Militia Susten,.

IL has become too apparent to attempt any
concealment of the fact, that there is a great
and increasing uneasness in the community,
on the subject of the existing militia laws.
Whether the complaints ON this subject, which
are so often heard, proceed from interested
motives or from some real defect in the laws,
will hardly admit of much doubt when it is
considered how prevalent is the voice of dis
satisfaction, even among officers whose reputa-
ton, both as citizens and soldiers, is beyond
the imputation of unworthy motives.
AS to the nature OF the defects in the militia
laws, and as to the amendments necessary in
order to invigorate the system and to render
those laws more efficient, we, of course, are in
competent to enter into a discussion. The
subject has, however, been much discussed
among those more Immediately interested in
it, and it seems desirable that the people gem
orally should not be ignorant of their views.
1t is subject in which the whole people have,
directly or indirectly, a deep interest. Unless
the militia system can he carried into ogant
with Vigour, and with reasonable prospect of
utility, it may as well be abolished, and the
heavy expense of its operation avoided
When, therefore, those who are commissioned
to carry it into effect, generally complain of it
as being, in its operation, unequal and slight
ly efficient, it behooVes the people and the
Legislature to inquire into its defects, and, if
possible, to apply a remedy.
We have been led to these reflections by
the Report of a Committee, unanimously ac-
cepted at full meeting of the officers of the
Second Brigade of the Fourth Division. held
recently at Deerfeld; and by resolutions on
the same subject, adopted at meeting of the
General, Field and Commissioned-Staff Off
GERS of the Sixth Qate SEVENTY Division, held,
Aug. 16, at Leominster-both of which docu-
ments arebelow..
The Massachusetts spy. [volume] (Worcester [Mass.]) 1821-1823, 1821-09-12

The committee appointed to inquire into the
defects OF the present militia system, and to
suggest some means by which they may be
remedied, Dec. ledre respectfully 10 report,
That they have attended to the duty as
sighed to them and that, in their opinion. the
present militia system is defective in two par
tic4i1ars.
.Ftrst.-It does not, so fully as it might be
made to do, impose the burden of the COM
mon defence equally upon the WHOLE commu-
nifty.
SecOndly.-The present method of conduct
ing trainings and reviews admits of alterations.
which, without materially adding to the bur
dens of those engaged, would tend greatly to
increase the ambition, discipline and knowl-
edge of the great body of the militia.
In regard to the first point, it, may be laid
down as an axiom, that all publick burdens
ought to bear equally upon the whole commu-
nifty. All are interested in the objects for the
attainment of which the militia system is or
ganized; and all, consequently, in proportion
to their means, ought to bear their part in the
expenses and duties which it imposes. In its
operation, however, the system forms strik-
ing exception to the above rule, SO Just, and
so constantly acted upon in all other cases.
The poor man is obliged to devote as much
time, and to equip himself as completely, as
his more wealthy neighbour. This, however,
is in some measure incident to militia sys
tenn, and is not without its advantages. By
placing in the hands Of every citizen arms
which are his own, and which he has been
taught to use, it serves to excite and keep
up in community spirit of independence, and
an interest in the concerns of tho naf;oo
But, in other particulars, the inequality of the
present system is more visible and is not ac-
companied with any good. The rapid sue
cession of designations among the officers, and
the number of Offices and employments which
render those engaged in them absolute or con-
ditional exempts, have freed a great proper
ton Of those who are possessed of property
from military duty; and the ranks are chiefly
filed by men who have little property at
stake, and who are lily able to incur the ex-

From the N. Y. American, Sept. I.
The following particulars of the dam
ages sustained at Norfolk, (Vir.) by the
late violent gale, are given in the Bea-
con of the 4th The storm commenced
on Monday, at 10, A. M, and continued
until 1, P. NJ blowing a hurricane from
the N. e, and N. N. w. The injury
done in the town and its vicinity to build
ings, enclosures, &c. is immense. The
following are the most important par
ticulars =
The ground stories of all the ware
houses on the wharves, and as high up
as Wide WateF-street, were entirely
Oyerf1owed, and we learn that the dam
age sustained in sugar, flour and salt, is
veru GREAT: the amount of which. as of
other damage inflicted by this awful VS.
itatiop, it is impossible, at this time, to
form even a conjecture.
The draw-bridge across Elizabeth
River, next to Norfolk, was entirely
swept away in the early part of the
hurricane, and will require considera-
BILE time and expense to replace it.
The damage sustained among the
shipping is immense, and fills us with
the most painful feelings to detail even
so much of it as has come to our knewl-
eye, which must fall far short of the
whole amount.
The U. S. Frigates Congress and
Guerriere, parted from their mornings,
and went ashore little above the Navy
Yard, on the opposite side of the river.
Among the ediices which have sus-
tanned the greatest damage, we regret
to state, is the Episcopal Church, part
of tae front of which, above the cor
nice, being blown in, the organ was en-
tirely demolished, and much other dam
age done to the interiour the Court
Hose was partly unroofed, and enc of
the chimnies blown down.

The following is particular account
of the narrow escape of the steam boat
Connecticut, and all the passengers from
destruction, and is taken principally
from the Daily Advertiser.
The steam boat Connecticut, Capt.
Robert Bunker, left New-Haven on
Monday morning at half past SIX, with
40 gentlemen. l6 ladies, and some chill
dren, for New-York. Thesky was over
cast and lowering-the wind fresh, and
every appearance of stormy night
The wind freshened, and coming on to
blow gale, the boat was anchored in
the bay within the light, and about 3-4
Of mile of the land. About ten o'clock
the wind became violent, and a very
heavy sea running, fears were entertain
ed that she would part her cables. The
stern and bower anchors holding steadi-
ly, when the wind shifted suddenly A or
8 points, blowing with increased fury
heavily upon the land; the anchors
yielding to the force of the wind and
waves, began TO drag the captain or
dered the buoys to be fixed, and slipped
her cables with the intention to resist
the storm with the engine. The ma
chinery was put in motion, the cogs of
the plnion wheel broke, and the wheels
became useless; the glib was then or
dered up, which tore to pieces instant
ly. The vessel was then unmanagea-
Bile, driving violently with her broad
side on shore, and Graded in the noun
tain waves, rolled frightfully. The
boat and passengers on board were then
considered at the mercy of the storm,
and every person prepared to meet the
fate that awaited them-distant, $50
yards from the shore, she struck heay-
lily upon reef of rocks, broadside on,
but after two or three conclusions, she
drove over, without bilging or capsiz-
ing. At this moment no hope was
entertained for the 'vessel.-The rage
Of the tempest, the swelling surf break
ing over the decks, the darkness of the
night, the confusion of the sounds, the
beating Of the boat, rendered the scene

From the Philadelphia Franklin Gazette.
The late Gale-The Steamboat Bal
timore, Capt. Jenkins, from New-Cas-
tie, brings information, that the gale on
Monday last was SO severe in the bay,
that fourteen vessels were driven ashore
on Bombay Hook.
