ny WAY OF PROTECTION,
The Results Of tho storm at Gal.
weston.

Nav ORLEANS, September 2O.-The
Times give the following account of the
storm at Galveston:
TO briefly summarize the disaster. n
gale from the north on Wednesday at
midday reached such proportions that
the captains Of steamers delivered
the order to put to sea. Almost stimuli.
tancously with this decision came the re.
port that n ship yard at the eastern end
Of the Island hNh been inundated and the
men were fleeing for their lives. A rap
idly falling barometer indicated an In.
crease OF storm, and the waters of the
Gulf on the south side Of the Island and
in the rear Of tho city gradually com.
mcnCed to CncroaCh, 80 that the gardens
Of the scattering residences skirtiny tho
beach were soon OvGrilOwed, the water
during the day reaching depth Of two
feet. All day long and during Thursday II
blew n hurricane, pushing the Gulf water
over the entire Island, and covering even
the highest elevations to depth OF two
and half feet. This ridge embraces an
area Of perhaps twelve blocks Of build
ngs extending from Mechanic street to
Market, distance Of two squares lati.
tudinally, and from Center street to Bath
avenue, about six squares longitudinal
ly. In the entire rear, east and west ends
Of the city the water rose to n sufficient
depth to float large wooden editices,
many Of which are very valuable. The
resident portion OF tho city was tho most
effected. From fremont street, where
this section begins, for distance Of ut
least mile and Il half west, every gar.
den and every foundation Is dGs-
troyed. Domicies are scattered
prOmiscously in the center Of
ihrOnghfareS, many Of them being jammed
together. Farther to the west, in the
neighborhOOd OF Oleander Park, where
there are many small farms and stylish
residences, the water Is reported TO have
reached the depth of six to nine feet. A
similar story is told Of the eastern end Of
the Island, which extends from Centre
street ut least one mile and half. In
the business section large stacks Of goods
are kept on the ground floors, and no one
can estimate the injury which thirty
