A dispatch from Charleston, S. O.,
dated Sept. 90 says The most fearful gale in
this city since 1854 occurred to-day, beginning
about daylight with a strong southeast wind,
and increasing in violence until o'clock, when
it had become hurricane. The tide was
forced up an unprecedented height, inundat-
ing tho entire river front OF the city, damag-
ing the wharves, and in some instances sweep
ing away pier heads. The long stone sea wall
known as tho battery, famous promenade
resort, was laid in ruins, and the public bath
ing house was demolished. The shipping
generally escaped serious damage. Through
out the city fences and outbuildings were des-
troyed, branches torn from the trees, and dur
ing the height OF the storm, the air was filed
with states aud tin stripped from the roofs,
making the streets impassable. The massive
brick walls Of the new theater, which had just
been completed, with the exception OF putting
on the roof. we're leveled with the street. 1t is
probable that $3.50, 600 will not repair the dam
ages.
