Gale at the South. The Savannah Geor
gian of the 18th lust. gives the followin!
particulars of disasters caused by severe
gale on the Saturday and Sunday pre-
vlous:-
The gale was very severe at St. Marys
in this state. Many out buildings, fences
&c. blown down. On the Satillas the crop,
were very much injured by the wind, anc
thereby inundated. The devastation ha.
extended itself to the St. Johns, on which
river the crops are said TO be ruined. From
the same source we have heard of the fol,
lowing casualties The steamer ChatI,an,
ashore south end of Amelia Island, in n bad
condition, across log. The steamer Nc
Lean has gone to her relief. The Steamer
Florida broke from her fastenings and drif.
ted upon wharf at St. Marys. She has
been got off with little or no injury. SlooF
Bolivar, Richardson, drifted miles into the
marsh, and lies 600 yards from the bed Of
the river. Sloop Virginia, Chevalier, is in
the same situation near by. Steamboat
Charleston parted her cables and drifted
ashore at the Sisters, on the ST. Johns
She has since been got off. The steamer
Forester, after having dragged six miles
over the marsh, is high and dry some 3OC
to 400 yards from Bull river. Schoone
George aud Mary, Wiley, from Charleston
for St. Augustine, was lost on Tuesda,
night, Sih INST. IL miles north of St Angus
tine: crew saved. Great apprehension
are entertained that the schooner s. S
Mills, which left st. Augustine on Saturday
with thirty passengers, is lost. A schooner
with black bottom ashore on Wednesday
on Cumberland beach. Brig Favorite drif.
ted over St. Johns bag and sunk at Jackson
vile wharf Her cargo, United States
stores, lost. Revenue Gutter Campbell
Cos,ar, from Kew West for baltimore, put
into St. Mary. A brig from New York, foI
Doboy, was in Jackie Creek, dismasted
SIoop Ann, Latham, drifted miles into the
woods, about 600 yards from the river
The St. Marys Revenue Gutter drifted III
miles into the woods, and is at consider
able distance from the river. A sloop (namc
unknown) is ashore Oh Tiger Island. A
sloop sunk near Fernandina, her masts bare
ly visible.

IERRlbLE RAILROAD ACCIDENT. Cor
-esposdence of the Baltimore Patriot
Steamboat Columbus, august I2tk, 1887.
The most serious accident that has occur
red in Eastern Virginia since my recollec-
ton, happened on the Portsmouth and
Roanoake Railroad, one and half miles
from Suffolk, yesterday, between 9 and 10
O'Clock. company, consisting of about
$50 ladies and gentlemen, from the coun-
ties of Isle dwight, Nansemond and South
ampton, came down on the Railroad on
Thursday, the 10th inst, with the view of
visiting Portsmouth, Norfolk, Fortress Mon
roe, and returning the next day-on their
return, at the time and place above men
toned, they met "A locomotive and train of
burden cars, aud horrible to relate, the two
ran together while going at the rate of 10
or l2 miles an hour.
The most heart-rending scene presented
itself that | ever witnessed every spot on
both sides the road, which offered the least
protection from the sun, was covered with
the dead, dying and wounded. Three
young ladies sitting together on the front
seat of the second car were killed, neither
living longer than ID minutes; another la
dy, an infant and negio girl were so much
injured that they died before o'clock, and
10 or ID ladies and gentlemen besides, sus-
tanned injury of one kind and another, very
likely to prove fatal to four or five Of them.
The confusion attending an accident
where so many were present, the mangled
corpscs laid out on the side Of the road, the
moans of the wounded, and the weeping
and waiing of relations, presenting a spec
tacle which defes description. Every pos.
sible attention was paid the sufferers by the
physicians and hospitable citizens of Suffolk
but the situation where it happened and the
excessive heat of the day, added greatly to
the intensity oftheir sufferings. shall no,
attempt to assign any cause for this painful
occurrence, as the matter will probably un-
dergo n thorough investigation before a
Court of Justice. An EYE WITNESS.
FURTHER PARrIcULARs.-The engineer
of the passenger train promptly stopped the
locomotive /; but he OF the lumber train was
either unable lowing to its being on a de-
scent) to stop his, or did not see the danger
IN time, for his engine drove furiously on
against that of the passenger train, forcing
it back upon the first car, which was driven
against the second, the second against the
third, and the two latter were crushed 20
pieces in the dreadful concussion.--The
CREATES, havoc, however, va. in the second
car, the first having been lifted from the
rails and propelled orer it, raking II as 1t
were, fore and aft, and crushing to death or

imagination Of the reader TO depict The
petrifying horrors of that awful moment,
and ofthe scene which ensued Many who
were young and ac,iye lsapcd from the cars
and rolled down the embankment, at the
hazard of life or limb. A gentleman who
vas casually seated next to young lady
in the I'd car, saw the coming death, and

If Gen. Jackson's plan for sound cur
rency had been carried out and bills under
$40 been put down, we should not now
present to the world the spectacle of ma
ton, in profound peace, in state of bank
ruptcy Neither would there be one bank,
probably, where there now is dozen, aud
such as were in existence would be sound,
and on solid basis. Neither would our
currency have been iE such bloated state
that foreigners, thousands of miles over the
waters, could have brought 10 us our very
bread and made profit, draining from us
the precious metals therefor.

Bank of England. Mr. George Sullivan
IN a letter from Liverpool, to the editors OF
The New-Yorb Commercial Advertiser, ia
speaking of the pecuniary distress in En-
gland, says -" These disasters will not
terminate ill a circulating medium is estab-
iished. that does no. profess on its face to
be convertible into gold at the pleasure OF
its holders, when in fact it is not so. A
suspension of specie payments by the Bank
of England, the first step fooard that result,
may be expected shortly after the meeting Of
the new Parliament, 1not befre. Moth
ing but this can save the manufactures of
England, of almost all kinds from utter des-
tructioa. Such are the sentiments, I think
of the best informed and most Intelligent
men in this country. The disasters in A.
merica, heavy as they may be, are slight in
comparison with the coming ruin ofthe En-.
glish trade, and manufactures"

uninjured
The accident occurred within 100 yards
of the residence of Mr.. Richard Goodwin,
where the dead and wounded were carried
From this kind and hospitabIe family as
well as from the ladies of Suffolk, the un-
fortunate sufferers received every attention
that could be bestowed. Mr.. Goodwin's
house presented the appearance of a hos

tanning the injured, whose cries and groans
were heard afar off. Under the large shed
of his tupentine factory lay the bodies oi
Ihe deceased young ladies, surrounded by
their mourning relatives and friends. Two
Of these young ladies were very soon to
have entered the married state. The ac-
cepted of one of them was by her side when
the death blow came upon her, and he could
have escaped unhurt by leap"g from the
car, which he said lie refused to do unless
he could have saved her. He remained in
his seat therefore, and received such injury
as he will probably never recover from.
The young gentleman to whom the other
was engaged came to the scene n few hours
after the accident had occurred, and by the
expression of his grief too well told the
wounds of his heart.
