There Is not much concerning the wreck of the
steamer Huron which has not been given in our des.
patches. She struck on the Nerth Carolina coast
Saturday morning about one o'clock, IS miles
south Of Cape Henry The boats were washed
from the davits, and those who we're saved reached
the shore by swimming The Huron had eleven
officers and lzi menj of these only four officer.
and thirty one men are known to have beer
saved.
1t has been reported that the steamer was an I'M
seaworthy vessel. but if she was it is singular thai
the captain should have put to sea in sucl
weather as be did when there was nothing t.
oblige him to do so. Commodore Nicholson of thu
Brooklyn Navy Yard having been interviewed il
regard to her condition said that he would be very
glad to give any Information If be had any, but /,
own knowledge of the matter was confined Ia
what be had seen in the newspapers. lie knew
only one Of the officers personally, except from
having examined several of them. Lieut. Smons
had once made a short cruise with him and proved
himself good deck officer. The Huron he said
was built by John Roach on contract, and came 10
the Navy Yard last August. She was not able to
back well and was therefore not cas- ly handled
hence Q new propeller was cast for her AT the ward
and she was overhsuled generally Her rig was
that Of three-masted schooner, and Com. Nichol-
son said that none of that class of vessels were

The Storm.

The storm for the last few days was not
only the severest OF the season out anon
the most severe for many years. Dwell
ers by the side of the Kennebec, shelter
ed bv the hills on either bank OF the river
know but little of the violence OF such a
storm as has swept across the country.
On the sea coast and high elevations OF
land where the wind can pour its full
force do landsmen only experience the
power and majesty of great storms.
The late storm began in the South west
ern States last Friday. Its coming was
foreseen by the Signal Service officers
and cautionary signals were displayed
along the coast as a warning to mariners.
These signals were flying at Norfolk when
the Inflated steamer Huron left that har-
Dor on Friday. Had the officer in COM
mand regarded them sufficiently TO have
remained in port. he would have escaped
the great disaster which overlook his yes
sci and those aboard of her. The storm
travelled toward and along the coast north
ward with great rapidty, the wind at
some points blowing with a velocity OF
20 miles an hour, and the rain falling in
torrents. In Virginia, Maryland and
Pennsylvania great damage has been done
by the freshets. while in all the course OF
the storm elsewhere the streams are heav-
iy swollen and railroads and highways
have suffered in some measure from the
heavy fall of rain.
No such heavy rainfall has been known
In this section for years. The rivers are
full as in the greatest freshets. and the
earth is so saturated that it will hold no
more. We are compensated and more
for the dry times of the past two years.
There will be no lack of water next win
ter in wells. springs and streams. AMI the
earth will be in better condition to yield
a good return for the husbandman's labor
another year because of the thorough
soaking it has received this Fall.
