GALE AT HAvASA-From the Charleston
Courier, we learn that more severe storm than
the one in 1921, was experienced at Havana on
the fourth inst. Several small Spanish vessels
were sunk at the wharf. and most OF the others IN
port received more or less injury. The Catharinc
from Charleston for New Orleans was lost near
Matanzas The steamer Netchez which left Ha-
vana on the 9TH for Matanzas, with great many
passengers, was also supposed to have been lost
in the same gale. The packet ship Rapid, from
New York, was towed into Havana by Steam
Ferry Boat, dismastcd, and perfect wreck By
arrivals at Havana and Matanzas, many wrecks
were reported wrecked along tie coast, and many
vessels dismasted trying to gain port,

TExAs-An extraordinary degree OF apathy
prevails generally. The army is disbanded and
most of the volunteers Will return to the United
States. They complain bitterly of the treatment
they received from the Executive. His conduct
with regard 20 them was strange and unaccount
able, to say the least Of it. Jeremiah Clemens,
member of the Alabama Legislature, went to Texas
in the spring captain OF company OF North
Alabama "emigrants." He has returned ard
written most severe letter to President Houston
in reference to the neg lect ard itreatHent which
the Volunteers have received from the Texan TX

THE kEEsEvILLE CALAMITY.-A letter to the
Albany Evening Journal from lady at keesevilIe
gives the following particulars of this melancholy
accident: Such heart-rendirg cries for help
never heard before Three men held on to the
iron railing of the bridge for an hour and quar-
ter. Robert Miller went out in small boat to
save them, bur the current so rapid that the
boat upset, and he too was drowned, the more re-
GREETED for his generous exertions in trying TO res
cue the others. All the stores and shops we're
closed and every one came TO help Ropes were
thrown out to them, but they broke and only one
man was saved. 1t is supposed that twenty are
drowned. do not know the names OF any but
