On Wednesday last a severe gale arose from the
northeast, and continued to blow with great
fury until Thursday night, when 1t moderated and
finally died away. Tho wind did no small amount
Of damage to the camps. Tents wore blewn down
and their occupants compelled TO or doors
exposed 10 Of the severest rain storms have
witnessed for time The tides unusually high
and the hugo rolled far up tho beach, the
lcvces OF sand constructed about the camps and com
petey swept down tho front Of and drowned
the soldiers The vessels In the roads pitched and rolled
violently and many Of them dragged their anchors
tunately Of them went ashore; but how they ma
naged 10 keep out OF the breakers mystery While
the gale prevailed communication was had with
Hilton Head, as Il was impossible for the small
steamers live outside their haIbors Ihave heard Of
wrecks along the shore, and presume that oil the
small craft made snug hatbor before the gale had
reached It's height.
