forever in terms of warmest praise. Ho

five months old, a brother of three and

errand. he had just put on his coat and

about to leave for school. He opened
the door and turned to kiss the little
sister in the cradle when q tongue Of

Savannah, Aug. 30.-Every arrival
continues to bring accounts of disasters
by the storm. The Juniata, from New
York, which arrived to-day, broke
down on the 2Sth at $40 p. m. She
brought the crew of the schooner
Hannah W. Sells, bound from Jack
sonville to New York with lumber,
which she took off on the 2Sth. The
captain of the Sells was lost overheard.
James G. Harris, mate of the
schooner Mary G. Fisher, from Phila-
delphia to Wilmington, N. c., laden
with coal, was picked up at sea on the
oath by the steamship Santiago de Cuba
and brought to this port. He was on a
piece of the cabin of the schooner
naked and delerious. The schooner
foundered on the oath, of Frying-pan
shoals. All hands were lost except
Harris. It is estimated that over 100
lives were lost in this vicinity by the
gale. Twenty to thirty inquests have
already been held. With the exception
of seven, all were negroes washed off
the plantations.
