They will be sent North from Port Royal, by the

We were gratifed to learn, yesterday, that the
fourth boat, in charge of the I'd officer, Mr.. E.
RYAN, with eleven persons on board, had reached
the harbor of Port Royal in safety. They suffered
intensely for want Of water, and we're out four
days. All the boats of the Republic have now
reached harbor in safety, and the raft alone re-
mains to be heard from.
Every day brings farther information of the
great disasters at SEQ, arising from tho effects of
the late severe gale, which extended it's ravages
all along the coast The steamship General Barnes,
ut Savannah, from New Orleans, Pensacola and
Key West reports that at the latter place it blew
n hurricane, on the 22d of October, causing
much damage, and sinking, dismantng, and
driving vessels ashore all around. Saw large
English ship ashore and bilgod outside of Fort
Taylor. The steamer Herman Livingston arrived
at Key West on the 9th, short of coal, and had
been in the hurricane; she picked up the English
bark Margaret, dismasted, from New Orleans
for Europe, with cotton, but was forced to leave
her, having parted all her hawsers. The Barnes
left Key West OH the 28th; thirty miles east of
Sombrero, saw the bark Margaret in tow of the
steamship Picto,, bound west. At P. A., same
day, five miles south of Carrysfoot, saw steamer
ashore with signal of distress flying; ran down
as close as possible, and communicated with her.
Found her to be the Cdttarine Whiting, from New
York for Galveston; she went on the same day
while having in tow tho English brig FaiAaven,
dismasted, loaded with cotton, from Galveston for
Liverpool-was unable to render any assistance,
both being go far on the reef. The IYhuing re-
ported having picked up two men from the wreck
of q schooner, tho remainder of the vessels COM
pany having been washed overheard. Her name
VAS not remembered. On tho 10Th, at 6 A. NJ,
passed bark, with mainmast gone; also, a ship
with loss of fore and mizzen topmasts Whom
Carrysfoot Reef was in sight, counted seven YES
sells ashore and dismantled.
The N Y. Herald says: eve would call the attcn-,
tion Of the Board to the Importance Of replacing
ut once the ightship on Frying Pan Shoals; alep
the light on Tybee Island, mouth Of Savanna all
River. There are at present five different lines Of
steamships running to Savannah, and three to
Charleston, carrying valuable cargoes and many
hundreds Of passengers weekly, and yet there has
not been single light re-established between
Cape Lookout and the coast Of Florida. Cape
Roman, Charleston light and Hunting Island
Light, are all still in the dark. The increasing
commerce of our coast and the public safety de-
mand some action in this important matter. The
neglect of the Board may be the means Of afford
ing the public journals some interesting items, in
the shape of appalling disasters and fearful loss
OF human life during the coming winter months"
- nd ence from Columbia will be read
with interest. Our correspondent says that from
all that can be- learned, Col. ORR has been elected
Governor Of the State by small majority. His
reports of the proceedings Of the Legislature will
bo found quito full, and the subjects discussed are
of much interest. We also publish to-day an in
tcresting letter from New York, together with
other matter, which will repay perusal.
The Washington correspondent of the Philadcl-
phia Ledger says: "What President JOHNSON will
do, hear, is to throw the EMPIRE LOUIS NApo-
and leave il for that body to say whether MAX.
shall bo politely told to quit, whether VIC shall
do as oil Europe has done, recognize him as the
constituted authority in that country"
The Rapkson Mississippi) Ne,os goes deep into
the Freedmens Bureau for their unauthorized
and arbitrary plan Of taking possession of the
finest estates in tho country, and leasing them to-
whites blacks before any decree of confscation,
or even provisional seizure, has been rendered
against the legitimate owners
