STORM ON TIE GULF COAST.

STORM ON TIE GULF COAST.
GALVESTON, Aug. 21.-Dispatches from
Corpus Christi show that on the 18th and
18th insts., a most devastating wind storm
prevailed about the mouth of the Rio
Grande, especially in Brownsville and Mata-
morris. The gale began on the morning of
the 18th and rain fell in torrents, Increasing
hourly until the morning of the 18th. The
effect was then seen in wrecked brick and
frame buildings, filling the streets with de-
bris, and every kind of damage that wind
and water can do. Many vessels were car
ried into the gulf at Santa Cruz and are
supposed to be lost. The damage to crops,
buildings, fences, etc., can hardly be less
than million dollars.
