the west shore of Matagorda Bay, having
about 1000 inhabitants, where but three
houses were left standing and from 150 to
200 lives were lost; Saluria, on the Mat
agorda Island; Sabine Pass Calcasieu /;
San BernardinO; Buffalo Bayou; Lynch
burg, town of about 1000 inhabitants /;
Matagorda, the capital of Matagorda
County, and Cedar Lake. A large
number of lives must have been lost, and
the destitution and suffering of the sur
vivors were very great One dispatch to
New Orleans from Indianola says: "Send
us help, for Gods sake" Aid was being
rendered to the sufferers by the people of
New Orleans and Galveston. Acting.
Mayor Davis, of Galveston, telegraphed
to the Mayor Of st. Louis on the 22d, ap.

in the towns destroyed had lost everything,
and that provisions, clothing and every
necessary of life were needed. These
