WILMINGTON, September l2.-The wires
are still down between here and smithville,
and the steamers which run daily between
that point and this city did not leave the
wbarves here yesterday. They went down
to-day and returned this evening. bringing
the first details OF the ravage OF the storm.
AT Smithville the storm reached the pro-
portions OF a hurricane. the wind reaching
the maximum velocity Of 93miles an hour.
For seven hours consecutively il averaged
eighty-one miles per hour. Many houses
were unroofed, number Of wharyes were
washed away. and the fisheries were seri-
ously damaged. All the pilot-boats were
blown ashore. and one Of them sunk.
There were many vessels In the harbOr,
only two OF which held their anchorages
throughout the gale. None OF them, how
ever, were wrecked. The Norwegian bark
sutitjelmn. bound for Liverpool, and the
schooner Rover. for Baltimore. after COLI
ding. went ashore on Big Rock, and both
will return 10 this city for repairs. The
Oldest pilots say that in duration and viO-
eBce the storm at Smithville exceeds any
they ever witnessed. The reyenue-cutter
Schuyler Colfax. although in imminent
danger, rode out the gale in safety.
