THE LATE STORM AT PoRrERvILLE, ALA-A SAD
AFFArg-At Portervilie the storm was terrific.
The new sawInill, together with several dwellings,
were, we are informed, swept entirely away, and
some families only escaped by wading nearly to
their necks in water Among The houses destroyed
were those OF Messrs Alexander and Keller. Po-
tato fields and gardens were ploughcd up by the
storm, and vines, with the tubors attached, may
now be seen clnsiDg to the branches Of trees
hanging from them in curious fessoons. Mr.. Chas
Medisus formerly editor and proprietor Of the Ger
man Courier, published at New Orleans, gives IA

unfortunately, prominent actor. Ii seems that
Mr.. Kedicus had established himself on the she'll
bank, opposite Conway's creek, whore he was en-.
gagged in cultivating garden Fearing for the
safety Of his family, and wishing to remove them to

Thursday morning, in which he deposited his ia
mily, consisting OF his wife and two children The

With this Intellectual struggle, he was afterwards
taken up by some fishermen and borne to place Of
safety. Every effort was made to reach the poor
sufferers, who were still fearfully exposed, but all
to no effect Towards evening, when the violence
of the storm was somewhat abated, diligcnt search
was made, but no trace .fthem could be discovered
On Friday morning, the storm having lulled, the Re-
mains Of Mrs. Medicus and one of the children

in the gale. The body Of the youngest child has
not yet been found. Their ages were eleven and
