The Value of Nautical knowledge.

In our report of our excursion with Mississippi
Fire Company No. 2 to Biloxi, week before last,
we mentioned the entertainment we received at
the hands of Billy F., grocer OF this city who
had his family in house on the upperpart of Deer
Island, directly opposite the town of Biloxi. Well,
Mr.. F. and his family arrived in this city Friday
morning last.
We asked him why he returned home SO much
sooner than he had anticipated. His answer was,
that he had sailed little, and understood sky,
water and birds. He had barometer with him,
and had high and lew tide marked on the beach
within fifty yards of his house.
On Thursday morning, he found his mark a foot
under water, when it should have been afeot oil
more above water. The day was calm, bright
and pleasant, and the water as smooth as mirror
He at once went and looked at his barometer, and
found il lower than he had seen it in several years
Then he went oat and looked at the sea-gulls
They focked around the island in unusual mum
bers and among them he noticed the particular
bird known as the stormy petrol.
Without the loss of time, he packed up his duds
crossed over with his family to Biloxi, took the
steamer Alabama, and arrived in this city on Fri
day morning, nearly twenty-four hours before the
| gale reached Bilox-which is now in ruins, ant
hardly splinter of any house remaining on Deel

Later from Mobile.

The accounts already published of the doings of
the storm along the coast give a fair idea of the
character and extent Of this ealamitons visitation
and we hope at an early date TO lay before our
readers complete accounts of the devastated
condition of the Gulf shore. Meanwhile we give
facts additional to those detailed in the hurried
letter of our special correspondent at Mobile, yes
terday morning published. g..5
The Mobile papers of Monday morning, the lat
est dates received, make no mention of the loss of
the ship R. W. Dieksey, of Mobile, but we have
reliable information that this vessel ant ashore on
Sand Island, in the jaws of Mobile harbor near
the lighthouse, during the storm, and was COM
plete loss. She was a tirstclass, four thousand
bale ship, and striking on the hard sand was so
completely dashed to pieces by the fury of the
breakers that scarcely ga piece large enough to
make tooth-pick'' was left Of her. But five per-
sons were saved, upon drifting spar; all the rest,
believed to be nineteen in number, including the
captain, met summary death by drowning.
The Dicksey was owned in Mobile, and Capt.
Dcksey her commander and part owner, was Il
resident of that city. The ship was laden with a
large and valuable cargo of assorted merchandise,
presumed to be insured. The body of Capt. Dick
sey was recovered at distance of six miles from
the place where the ship was cast away.
The lower streets of Mobile present an interest.
ing and peculiar appearance, most of them being
blocked up with the vast amount of the rubbish
and various lumber driven in by the Storm The
wharves generally are in wrecked condition, and
large expenditure will be necessary to put them
in repair.
The subsding waters left four steamers, to wit
the st. Nicholas, the Arrow, the Eliza and the
Bagaey, high and dry upon the piles of the dis
manted wharves, over which they had foated, anG
they will all, probably, prove total loss. Other
steamers were more or less damaged, and it is
probable that one or more will be lost. The water
stood from two to five feet deep in all the cottor
presses and warehouses, and the damage to the
staple will be large. Merchandise suffered in many
stores of the city, as previously reported by oul
correspondent.

The PACIFIC TELEGRAPH CoNTRAcT.- Pacific
telegraph contract is not yet made. Secretary
Cobb is determined to award the contract to re-
sponsble parties who can and will falfl it. The
object of Congress was to secure the speedy con-
struetion of means of telegrapne communication.
Mr. Sibly and his associates have not only ample
MEANS but control Of the lines on both sides Of the
mountains, which they are rapidly pushing forward
both East and West. So we'll are they satisfied
however, tAat no money can be made out of the
contract as an investmest, that they offer, in case
it is awarded to the TO give $4,000 additional tc
any responsible contractors who will push il
through. They well afford this as the increase
of business which its completion will afford then
lines will exceed that amount per annum. At thu
same time they have little faith that bidders below
the maximum sum named il the bill will be able t
build it, Their experience in constructing lines Q

SINGULAR CHARGE AGAINST A DAGUERREoTYpIsT.
The following is a copy of complaint made be-
fore Justice Voorhies, Of New York, on Tuesday,
upon which warrant was issued and the defend
ant taken into custody:
''Matilda Foulds, of Nos Lafayette Avenue, being
duly sworn, ETC., complains that in the month Of
March, 1850, she went to the store of Mr. Douglass,
daguerreotypist, for the purpose of having her
likeness taken. Said Douglass has said likeness
in his possession, and has exposed it publicly in
his window, No. = Fulton Avenue, and has card
or paper attached to said likeness with the follow
ing words The proprietor would like to know
where the original may be found and maliciously
intends to injure said deponent in her good name,
fame and credit, and to bring her into public in
fanny and disgrace among her neghbors. 1t is to
be suspected and believed by these neighbors as
if this deponent was gully of some crime." The
case is still undisposed of.
Undoubtedly it was fortunate for the daguerreo
typist in question that the lady had very spirited
male friend, else the case might not have remained
long undisposed Of" Most daguerreotypists arr
