which will cost as much as 1t is worth TO save It. The
boat had been recently repaired.
The steamer Wsverey, owned by the Msssrs.

The cleaner Warrior, Capt. Ii. X. johnson, lying az
one Of the upper wharves lost of her chimneys,
and sustaios damage Of about 81 200.
We also learn that the salt barge OF Mr.. M airing
ri the foot Of Government street. capsized aud threw
into the river about four thousand sacks Of salt.
The loss in the warehouses Is said to be shout thirty
thousand sacks.
The wharves are injured very much All articles Of
merchandise them the wood at the woody L. tbs
lumber and saw.ogs at the mills, have been swept
away, and very serious less Of promiscuous Articles
has been sustained the exact amount Of which we can
not learn or now approximate.
To add to the horrors Of the day, at about o'clock
tie fire bell rang a call for the department 10 subdue
fire on the south side OF Government street. Just below
Royal. Fortunately, however, Little or no damage
was done.
Again, between 3 and o'clock, an alarm of fire
was sounded, and # was soon ascertained that the
warehouse Of Meesrs, Pomeroy and Marshall, IN which
aarge amount of lime was stored was on Ere. Being
surrounded on all sides by water 10 the depth OF sew
ersl feet it impossible TO approach the building
and the fire had TO take it's We also learn that
the fire communicated itself to Goodmans warehouse,
In which there were some 900 bales Of cotton, all OF
which were destroyed. By this time the water Ind
sufficiently receded to enable the freengnee to sp-
pYosch the scene but the drift and other impedmen&s
rendered their labors in great measure abcruve.
In the city warehouse the south wall was blown
down aud several bales Of cotton burned.
ketchums warehouse had a large part OF the eaet
wall blown down, and the north gable end fsu in.
The water was Deep bnt Notwithstanding II and Other
obsructions every one OF the lire companies pdnged
in" and up TO the mems waists, worked the mschines
and latored like Troans in their contention with the
FIRE king. We do not remember ever before 10 have
seeu men labor with such zeal and devoted deter nina
ton. The damage done is great, but we did not learn
to what amount TO insurance. In the absence Of
facts is idle guess but hope that matters are ex
aggerated ard the actual Ices will be far below the
minimum Of supposition.
The railroad track being submesasd, OF courss tbs

Toward night the wind veered 10 the southward and
in a mauber uled but the rain sti continues TO pour
down in torrents One year ago day, Sept. l5 our
CITY was visited by similsr Storm One singularty

II feared that good deal of damage has been done
to the shipping in the lower bay and along the coast
Many vessels expected at this season from northern
ports.
We cannot now even estimate the loss, but suppose
il is not far from 100000.
