Attorney General Williams naslssued another
circular, this time to u. S. Marshals IN the
South, suggesting that at points where United
States troops may be stationed, deputy mar
shals be appointed, with power to use the
troops if necessary to make arrests 1he os-
teusible reason for this order is that when the
Marshal is at a distance, before he can be COM
municated with and the troops set 10 motion
offenders may escape. The order says that 1T
is important thatahis power should be deegat-
ed to none but careful and responsible persons.
The Baltimore American (Republican) says :
"a few political adventures with power to
use the troops to arrest such parties whom

THE GALE AT CHARLESTON. The Charles

columns to an account Of the gale Oh the 2Sth

O'Clock the tide had risen so high that it cover
ed all the wharves 90 the eastern front Of the
city and flooded the streets to the depth of
several feet. Many of the wharves were wash
ed up, and several vessel, parted from their
moorings and were driven 90 shore. The scene
from the wharves at this time was terrific. 10
every direction drift wood, bales of cotton
wrecked boats and debris were being tossed
about. The sea 10 the barbor rolled mountain
high, and the waves dashed over the piers 10
huge rollers. At Accommodation wharf bark
was driven from her mooriugs high up 90 the
landing into the wharf Office of Campbell that
Wyiy & Co., but was blown off again when
the wind shifted. So great was the force Of
the wind the bowsprit of the vessel entered the
second story of the building which was of brick,
and cut it completely 10 too, making clean
split. At the wharf of the SulIivan's Island
steamers the waves washed clear over the wood
work, and the anxious crowd who had gathered
there to hear tdings from friends on the island
were fairly driven back by the binding rain
and rapidly rising waters The damage sus-
tanned by the Battery was fearful At one

the middle of the day about one hundred and
seventy i've had matriculated, which is forty
more than had matriculated 90 the first day of
