The Southern Cyclone.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2O.-A severe
cyclone has been in the Gulf of Mexico
since Sunday. 1t is no W centered near
Mobile, but diminishing in intensity. 1t
has been attended by very high winds
and heavy rams, causing great damage
in the Gulf States near the coast. 1t is
now moving slowly to the north of
east.
The winds in the Ohio valley and the
South Atlantic States are at present un
der the influence of this storm. It is in
many respects similar to the great storm
of September. 1875. that caused SO great
damage in Texas. These cyclones fire.
quently lose much of their force by the
time they reach the North Carolina
coast.
New ORLEANS, Sept. l9.-Advices
from parish St. John Baptist yesterday
evening a gale ofwind did great damage
in our nelghborhood, and as far as is
known several residences have been
carried of, and sugar houses on several
plantations seriously damaged. The
parish courthouse lost its roof, and
states were driven half mile with such
force as to bury themselves in the
ground as they fell.
All fances are down, trees broken off
and uprooted. Not single pecan tree
has withstood the blow, Many roofs OF
houses and chimneys have been blown
off, and in the surrounding country the
cane has been laid fiat as if winnowed.
The damage cannot yet be estimated,
as wind and rain continue, with no APP
pearance Of clearing weather. The
damage to the rice crop on the lower
coast is estimated at 80 per cent.

Burning Of the Patent Office.

The Patent Office at Washington
took fire yesterday from an uneXplain'
ed cause, and serious damage was done
in that part Of the building reserved fol-
models of patents. At this time it is
not possible to even conjecture the
amount of the losses, but 1t is believed
that at least $4,000 models Of patents
were burned. Such relics as the origi-
nal draft of the Declaration of Indepen-
dence, Gen. Washington's swords and
camp equipage, &C.. were saved. The
damage to the building reached nearly
half million of dollars, and portion
OF the walls will probably have to be re-
built. The fire. department Of BaltI-
more city was called on and gave
prompt and cheerful assistance. Some
property in the vicinity ofthe patent
Office took fire, and it is believed the
loss therefrem is considerable.

The Battle Of Big Hole.

CHICAGO, Sept. 49, Gen. Sheridan
is in receipt of the official report Of the
battle Of Big Hole, Montana, August
9, and Of the operations in that district
preceding the battle. Col. Gibbon re-
fleets severely on inhabitants of
Montana who sustained the murderous
Nez Perces by trading off provisions
for stock stolen by them from whites,
thus prolonglng their fight and adding
to the danger of pursuit. The best
estimate of their strength gave them
260 warriors, well armed and equipped.
By forced marches Gibbon came up
with the hostiles with a command of
seventeen officers, one hundred and
thirty-two men and thirty-four citizens.
The attack was made late at night,
the Indians being completely surprised,
but as they Immediately sought the
bushes for shelter and poured their
volleys into the troops as the latter
came into open ground they did consid-
cradle execution. However, in twenty
minutes the whole camp was in possess
ion of the troops. The Indians being
driven out still shot with deadly effect
at long range. by change OF base
shelter was obtained and retaliatory
firing was commenced with equal
destruction of Indian life. The Indians
meantime had captured the howitzer
which was coming under escort on
mules backs, the two prlvates who
were with it fleeing and leaving the
officers to an unequal fight. During
the day various strategies were en-
ployed, but it was IL O'Clock at night
before the Indians finally withdrew.
On the 18th the dead We're buried.
Gen. Howard came up that day but too
late to render assistance. The complete
list Is appended showing 90 killed and
40 wounded. The burial party reported
SO dead Indians found on the field, and
six men found dead in the rayine some
distance from the battle field.

Fort ELLIS, Montana, Sept. o.
The following has been received by
General Sheridan from Gen. Benham !:
''Sturgis writes under date Mussels
Hill, Sept. Is, that in the fight of the
18th and persdit of the 18th and 18th
twenty dead warriors were found. He
believes more were killed, and estimated
the loss in wounded.at6O. His own loss
was French, Nicholson and Gresham,
wounded slightly: four soldiers killed
and twelve wounded. Several scouts
were killed and wounded. Nine hun
dred horses were dropped by the hos
tiles up to the 10th. Sturgis had drop
ped many Of his own horses the COM
mand had been living four days on mule
meat. The crows are returning to the
agency and say Sturgis sent them in
telling them not to fight the Nez Per-
ces, because the soldiers were not to
fight them any longer. The Crows say
Sturgis's and the Nez Perces' camps
were only eight miles apart, and it may
be that they have surrendered. This
report needs confirmation. Nothing new
from Howard.v
