THL NON ARRIVAL OF THE sIEAMShIr CENTRAL AMEE-

her embodied in the following Geographic dispatch,

The Central America was fully due here on Sunday
last She probably met the severe Storm which pre-
vailed along the southern coast On Friday Saturday
and Sunday, al was unable to make Roadway against
it. Getting out Of coal, Capt HeindJn has doubt
been compelled to make for Southern port under
SAIL or the steamer may have been disabled in her
machinery, and thus delayed The steamship Empire
City, Of this port, which sailed from Havana with the
Central America, was obliged to put into Norfolk
Tuesday for coal, having experienced succession Of
heavy gales and sustained some slight damage. II is
well known that, under sail, paddle steamer m.kes
but slow Roadway. The Central America i; a staunch
vessel, and Capt. Herndon a capable and experienced
mariner; We therefore think that there is ground
tor serious alarm as to the safety OF the vessel and her
passengers. Some people feared that the following
port brought yesterday referred TO her.
The steamer Atalsnts, Capt. eager, arrived
Wednesday from Charleston in 81 days with merchaa-
disc and passengers to H. b. Cromwell. Capt. eager
reports that on Monday, 18th inst off Cape Lookout,
he passed quantity of wrecked material supposed 10
be steamers wheel-houSe, and house on decI. The
ATLANTA experienced heavy southwest, gales the whole
passage.
The above, however, doubt refers to the wrecked
stuff from the steamer Columbia from New.Yerk,
which arrived at Charleston, s. c. on Monday last,
having lost her paddeboxes in the gale off Hstteras
She reports that the gale lasted "a hours.
We understand that the owners of the Central Amer.
ca feel assured that she has put into Key Yves: for
supplies. Her detention will render It necessary to
substitute another steamer 10 take her place in the line
on Monday next. The Northern Light has been Sc.
lecteS for the service, ami being got ready for
sea.
The storm which swept along the southern coast on
Friday, Saturday and Sunday last, was terribly de-
structive Of property and probably attended with
lose of life. In North Csrolita and Southern Virgins
the telegraph lines prostrsted and the railroads
south Of Petersburg, Va were obs,ructed. A nun
