It's seldom, indeed, that such variety of aeci-
dents conspire to delay railway train.
LATER FROM BlLoxI.--A friend Of ours, who left
on the Creole on Saturday morning, and was one
Of the crowd Of about AGO who returned on that
boat on Monday evening, gives Us some later
4 particulars fIom the GGlf shore.
Our friend and five others got off at Mississippi
City, (the boat refusing to stop at BloxD and
walked to Biloxi at night such was their anxiety
to get to their families. The wreck at that place
has not been half described. Nearly every other
| house, from Pradat's Hotel to the lighthouse
(nearly two mileg) was totally wrecked
There was some exaggeration in the reports
4 about starvation. The tcwn-people, who had not
been injured by the storm, had plenty to eat. 1t
was only the sufferers along the front and wrecked
paIt of the town who suffered for food, and many
families Of these were camped out on the beach
three days and nights waiting for the expected
steamboat, which did not take item away after all.
No steamer las stopped at Biloxi yet. The
! Creole left Ocean Springs on Monday morning
4 with nearly three hundred passengers, most Of
whom, including many ladies and children, had
come from Biloxi in small and apen water-craft,
skihs, sailboats and the like. The indignation

OF a copy Of the Crescent containing the news,
and that part relative to the Al&bama's treatment
Of that town was read publicly TO q crowd Of sew
eral hundred people, whose only objection to the
statement was that it did net relate one-half Of
tile misfortune. The post-ofiice washed away,
bad been rtopened ia one END Of tAe Shady Grove
Hotel.
When the Creole taking the place of the Ala
baina, stopped at Mississippi city, (having given
Biloxi the goby) and while the passengers were
coming Otf from shore in boats, Capt. Roardman or
dered the boats to he hauled up, as lie would take
no more passengers. He gave This orderwhen por-
ti0Ds Of some families were on board and some still
waiting on shore; thus actually ordering separa-
ton OF division Of some Of the families.
Tie Captain Was demonstrated with, but was
obdurate. Then resolute gentleman Of this city
swore he would put bullet through the head of the
first man that attempted to haul up the boats.
Other passengers backed him, and Capt. Board
i man and his crew were compelled to take on the
/ rest Of the passengers.
Now If tic Mail Line Company blockaded Bi-
| loai because Of the difficulty there, Chose who
\ seized her boats being all citizens OF New Orleans
and al now here they have an equal excuse for
4 btockading Mississippi City.
! At Pass Christian there was another rumpus con-
Il nected with taking the passengers on board and
responsible and wealthy gentleman is determined,
it is said to enter suit against the line for refusing
to take him aud his family on board. The boat
was dreadfully crowded, it is true, hgt Yhfo deIay
ness had Cant R B9a66322ft B9a6 al these people, many Of
them sufferers by the gale, to accumulate!
OF the crowd on board, on Monday last, there
was about one in hundred who attempted to ex-
cuse the Mail Line Company. Capt. Boardman
was warmly talked to by many; his excuse was
that he was under Capt: Hiern's written orders,
II will be long time before either the people
of Biloxi or of New Orleans will forget this high
handed and unparalleled conduct of the New Or
leans and Mobile Mail Line Company
