Happily no lives have been lost
The river has risen 10 such height as
TO cover most Of the low ground planta-
tons on its margin, and the damage done
by it must have been immense. In
Beech Island, where the prospect a few
days ago was uncommOnly promising,
the crops are almost wholly destroyed.
We have heard it intimated that in the
destruction of the crop of a worthy and
respectable planter. few miles below
this place, the loss will not probably be
short Of twenty or twenty-five thousand
dollars. Other large and valuable crops
are also entirely destroyed; and the
loss of cattle, hogs, and horses, from the
sudden rise of the river must have been
great.
From The number of Sea Gulls, and
what are called Mother Carey's Chick
ems, which appeared here the morning
after the storm, there is reason to APP
prehend serious disasters on the sea
board as these visitors can only be
supposed TO have been forced by the vi
olence of the wind to an interior situa-
ton, for which they have naturally no
prediction.

MONTREAL, SEPT. 81.
D.4REJNG OUTRAGE.

On Wednesday morning, about 3
o'clock, the dwelling of the Cure OF St.
Martins was entered by seven persons,
the Cure and his whole family tied, and
man, armed with pistol, placed over
them, while the others proceeded to
ransack the house for money, which
they succeeded in obtaining to the a.
mount of $4,000 livres. They then
made off, and left the inhabitants of the
house bound, as they were discovered
in the morning. The villains have not
been apprehended.

GALE AT THE SOUTH.

The gale of the l4th and 18th ult.
was tremendous on the southern coast.
The British ship John and Mary, arriv-
ed at Charleston from Honduras, took
the gale on the 18th, and with other
damage, had her decks swept, and lost
6 Of her crew. The ship Albion was
entirely lost--a line was with much DIFF
iiculty passed TO the John s. Mary,
(having borne down for the Albion, ex-
pecting relief, which was the means Of
saving the captain and eight ofthe crew
the chief mate in attempting to pass
was drowned. In consequence of the
line breaking, six of the crew were left
on the wreck in the most destitute stu
alton, having nothing 10 eat or drinls--it
was impossible to get another line on
board. A revenue cutter has been Or
dered to sea for their rescue.
At Savannah, several houses were
blown down, and others unroofed; and
number of vessels were damaged in
the barbour.
"Cotton, corn, rice, live stock, Sc"
(says the Savannah Georgian of the 18th
ult.) I" have dreadfulIy suffered in the
general devastation. From the state Of
the roads and the destruction Of the
bridges, we are isolated and cut. off
from any communication with other
parts, there being already three north
ern and western mails due"
A number of stores were blown down,
and the Union Ferry Wharf was wash
ed away distressing accounts had
been received Of the destruction of
cotton, corn, sc. on the plantations.
Among the vessels lost and damag-
ed, is mentioned--the brig Governor
Hopkins, up in rice field, and is dry

full.
At Augusta, Gays the Chronicle) be-
tween four and five hundred trees have
been blown down-in some ofthe streets
whole ranges were blown down without;
a solitary exception and fences were
Frustrated in various quarters. The
eastern chimney of the Jail was blown
down, and carried with it the gable end
of the building, breaking through a
part of the roof. Two chimnies CT Col.

lead on the ridge ofseveral of the brick
houses was blown of, rolled up as if
done by hand, and in some instances car

from the U. States Arsenal. A number
Of chmnies were blown down; and at
the Sand Hills trees and fences we're
Frustrated as we'll as in town. At Ham
surg, Mr.. Shultz's upper warehouse and
the market house were blown down.
Some Of the streets in this place we're
so completely blocked up by the fallen
trees, as TO be almost impossible even
for footmen, till passage was made by
cutting away the brush /; and the sound
of axes in Broad-street on Wednesday

1t is said that greater treshet has
not occurred here since the year '96.
The gable end of Mr. Barrett's new
brick building was blown down our
low lands SO completely inundated, that
it is very much feared the choicest crops
of cotton are or will be swept away by
the deluge. The Augusta Stage in
crossing the lower ferry at CRANKY has
been lost. The rope parted when the
boat was carried down the current with
furious rapidly, and upset. A passen-
ger, the driver, and two horses persisted.
The passenger is Mr. Blocker, son Of
Gen. Jesse Blocker, of Edgetield district,
student Of South Carolina College.
The Pee Dee Gazette, says" We
have not heard from the rlyer lands,
but are fearful that number of crops
that were spared by the rot and rust
have been ruled by the inundation OF
the fields. We understand that Gen
w. Hampton, aud Col. John Taylor,
have sustained heavy losses by the in
undation of the low grounds.

PHILADELPHIA. OCT. 6.

PHILADELPHIA, OCT. y.
The "Nation's Guest" departed from
the city at eight O'Clock yesterday e.
vening, We trust, that the citizens of
Philadelphia have evinced all the graft
tude and homage TO the early champ on
and benefactor of their country, which
patriotism and an admiration of he
roic and disintercstcd deeds, could have
inspired. From the humblest to the
most exalted individual in society, pa
rents and children, youth and age, male,
and female, all have enthusiastically
shared in testifying, by word and deed,
the feelings of affection and veneraton
for General LA FAYErrE. We have
reason 10 believe that he has left our city
with impressions the most gratifying
and solacing TO a heart which has expe-
rienced all the vicissitudes, has remain
ed pure and firm to the noblest senti-
ments and purposes. The General has
expressed his readiness to return to Phi
ladelphia whenever, after he has visited
Yorktown, he may be required, for the
purpose of laying the corner stone OF
the monument purposed TO be erected
in this city to perpetuate the memory
of WASHINGTON.
We understand that citizen of Phi
Eadelphia presented General La Fay
ETTE, a day or two ago, with beautiful
medallion likeness of General HAMILTON.
The box containing this medallion was
made out of a piece of the furniture be-
longing TO the Hall Of independence.

rub il over the warts. In the course OF
a few times, by so doing, they will be
gone. The muriate of ammonia { sal

The information contained in the following ex.
tract, from the Medical Advertiser, will be
acceptable to a large part of the commu'
nifty
Whether as Gin, Ram, or Brandy tht
most 1uholesome pa question that is of:
zen asked. We have heard it defined
by hypothetical reasoning, from the fol-
lowing experimental piece of raw
liver was put into glass Of gin, anoth-
er into glass Of rum, and third into a
glass Of brandy. That in the gin was,
in a given time, partially decomposed :;
that in the rum, in the same lime, not
diminished; and that in the brandy was
quite dissolved. The argument deduc-
ed was, that the spirit in which the
liver remained unchanged, namely rum,
was the most wholesome. Now we
differ completely in our opinion; for
we know that spirit cannot thus affect
living animal matter; therefore the
stomach cannot, like piece Of liver, be
dissolved and we think that the spirits
which decomposed the animal substance,
namely, the brandy, is the most whole
some, because ii is the most likely to
dissolve the animal food in The stomach.
Surgical Operations.-A short time
since, an extraordinary operation was
performed atthe Kent and Canterbury
Hospital, upon man whose sound
thigh was cut open, and an cid decayed
bone extracted.-This man is now so
much recovered as TO be walking about
the streets of Can,erbury.--A patient
was received at the above hospital
some time since, with very bad case
of diseased liver. After some time the
case assumed the worst possible appear
ance, and it was resolved, as the only
chance of preserving life, to tap the lii0er.
The operation was performed by Mr..
Fitch, senior surgeon, in presence Of
other gentlemen ofthe faculty connect
ed with the establishment. Upon the
liver being touched. upwards of five
pints of diseased matter Immediately
flowed from the wound. A tube,
inches in length, was then introduced
and retained in the wound, through
which pint of the same fluid was daily
evacuated for week. The man is re-
covering.

augustus and the Poor Poet.

augustus and the Poor P0et.
A poor Greek poet used from time to
time to present Augustus with Greek
epigrams; but although the Emperor
took them, yet he never gave him any
thing.-One day having mind to ridi-
cule him, and to shake him off, as soon
as he saw him coming to present his
verses, the Emperor sent him Greek
epigram Of his own composing, written
with his own hand,-The poet receiv-
ed it with JOY, and as he was reading it,
Showed by his looks and gestures, that
he was nightly pleased with it. After
he had read it he pulled out his purse.
and'coming near Augustus, gave some
few pence, saying "Take this, Cesar
give you not according to your great
fortune, but according to my poor a5ili.
ty had more would make you a
larger present. The whole company
fell a laughing-and the Emperor more
than any of the rest, who ordered hiu
a hundred thousand Gro WINS.
