and many more were seen coming in. The
pressure of the wind at Liverpool was greater
than Tor years. There were many collisions
and disasters in the Mersey.
The American ship Weston, Merritt, was
among those damaged by collision, but not
seriously. The ship Pensacola was complete
ly wrecked on Great Burbo Bank. The crew
was saved. The Dewitt, Clinton, was totally
wrecked of Frimley; crew saved. The Mary

GREAT TEMPERANCE MEETING. - The

out en- masse and hear these young orators,
who will speak words of caution that sholld

cup Of intoxication.

The following is from the correspondence of
OF the Baltimore American:
Charleston, Dec. 13th-Gen. Gilmore again
shelled Charleston on Thursday night, throw
ing number Of shells into the city, and it is
thought doing much damage. Ali the rebel
batteries opened and heavy bombardment
ensued for several hours.
The storm Is washing away the rebel OBJ
structions and yesterday large number of
heavy timber, bolted together with iron, came
down with the tide. They were secured and
towed In shore by our tugs. 1t is believed that
the distractions must be severely damaged.
There Is no other news OF Importance.
BY the arrival Of the Arago from Port Royal
we learn that the recent heavy gale swept
away nearly all the rebel Instructions in
Charleston Harbor, and their remnants line
the shores. The entrance to the -harbor in
now clear and it Is supposed our navy will
take due advantage Of the fact.

Accounts from the Plains represent great

sequence of severe snow storms, no hay or
grass could be had, and stock was dying off
by hundreds, of starvation, and many lives
were known to be lost by the intense cold. As
over 100 trains have been sent ont, much
anxiety Is felt for their safety. Fourteen
inches of snow has fallen here, and much of 1t

Treatment Of Federal PrisoMers at Rich
npOad.

treatment Of Federal Pris0ners at Rieh-
nsOTd.
BALrIMoRE, Dec. is.
Two Union prisoners, Capt. n. r. Hender-
son, of the 5lst Indiana, and Lieut.. j. L.
Shelton, of the 18th Iowa, who escaped from
Libey prison week ago, reached here this
forenoon. They travelled night and day
through the woods down the Peninsula, d.
recting their course by means Of small peck
ct compass.
They visited the Baltimore American office,
and in behalf of their late companions in
prison desired to express their grateful thanks
for the timely relief sent them through the
fundamentally Of the Baltimore American
Relief Fund.
They represented that whilst the supplies
furnished by the rebel authorities were of very
poor quality and very meagre, still it was the
best they had to give. Apart from this, the
conduct Of the rebel officers and guards had
been generally kind, though there may have
been individual cases of harsh and perhaps
cruel treatment. So far, however, as their
own experience goes, they feel it due to say
that there has been much exaggeration In the
statements with regard TO the treatment ol
prisoners. The supplies of food sent from
here and from the North, was most timely,
and doubtless there would have been intensely
more suffering but for such.
The condition Of our prisoners on Belle
Island, their officers say, is doubtless far worse
than those in the Libey prison. At least 800
of our poor fellows there are without shelter
Of any kind, and most of the tents are so woru
and thrcadbarc as to afford but little protcc-
ton. Thus they are exposed to cold winds
and wet sands, and must snfer intensely apart
from the scarcity of provisions.
FORTRESS MONROE, Dec. II.
The flag of truce steamer New York brought
down from City Point two Surgeons who had
been for some time in prison at Atlanta, Ga
While they were in Richmond the rebel au.
thorities showed them through all the prisons
in and about the city. They report they found
our prisoners quite comfortable and well fed,
though they were partly furnished with pro-
visions sent from the loyal Ststes.
