The steamer Tamaupalis No 2,

provisions for the Bagdad and
Brazos sufferers on Thursday, "A

From BRAzos.
Capt. Mansur, acting deputy col
lector at Brazos de Santiago, arriv-
ed in our city on Thursday evening
He reports that there were four
buildings standing yet at Brazos
The quartermaster' office, build
ing built and formerly used for the
post office, and two little stores
about 10 by 10 one of them the
property of Col. Field, deputy col

persons missing at Brazos; among
them the family of Mr.. Blakely,
who was residing at Padre Island
Two Mexicans had been buried be-

THE SHIPPING.
Schooner Eta is now in, the bay
three miles above Point Isabel.
Schooner. Kadosh is also in, the
bay out of sight and further up than
the Eta.
Schooncr Volumnia, Capt. Rayan,
is saved. She was at the wharf at
the time of, the, storm, and Capt,
Mansur informs us that great pra Use
is due to the captain of'the Eolum-
MIA for the sang froid and energy
displayed on the occasion. Capt.
Rayan saved at least one hundred
persons.
--LATEST FROM BRAzos.
Judge Downey received letter
from Mr.. w. Kelley, Notary Public
from which we take the following:
"The people have saved nothing
but such clothes as they had on
when the hurricane broke out, and
absolutely no provisions have been
saved except such as may have been
found among the ruins that have
not yet f1oated off. So far as can be
ascertained but nine persons have
persisted, John Anderson, and two
families of four persons each, living
in Norton's warehouse, names un
known, a Mr.. Blakely and his fam
lily, (three persons) and one man,
name unknown. The mate OF
schooner Volumina, was drowned
last evening.
' clad not the schooner Volun.nia
been at the wharf it is despicable to
contemplate the loss of life which
must have occurred. The Cap ain
(Ryan) took on hoard his vessel, and
has yet on board nearly all the wo'
men and children of the Island. tie
has fed them up to this time, but is
now entirely out of stores even fol
his own crew, and is as destitute as
the rest. TO this gentleman's hui
manity and generosity the people Of
Brazos owe debt of gratitude they
can never pay. He has given u[
his ship to the inhabitants, pla zee
the cabin and his own room at the
DISPOSAL of the women and children
put his crew on short provisions tc
feed the destitute (and nearly al
are so) and exhausted his last biscui
in our support. 49,,
"The island is yet covered will
water, and detail from our citizens
is searching the debris for food
Cooking stoves have been erected
and if food is found we shall not
starve."
Mr.. Kelly also states that the ne
gro soldiers who retired to the sand
hills during the storm, returned tn,
next day and robbed and pillageo
such property as could he carried
off. They broke open four safe
and shot at two citizens, killing
one.
The official report received a
Headquarters, states that a guar(
had been placed over the goods tt
prevent any pillaging, and tina
two parties came, and when ordered
to leave by the guard, refused t.
obey, and that the guard shot ant
killed one ofthem. The case viii
be Investigated shortly.
RETURN OF STEAMER TAMAULIpA
No. 2 WITH THE PEOPLE FRo'
BAGpAD. =,
Shortly after dark yesterday tn
whole population of Brownsvlll
was called to the Levee by the shril
whistle of the Tamaulipas No. :
coming from the rescue Of the Bag
dad people.
1t is impossible to describe tn
scene at the steamer, every on
speaking at the same time inquirln
for his own particular relations Q
friends. There were more peopl
saved than was at first supposed
many having took refuge on tn
, sand hills.
The following persons are know
