CHARLESTON, s. O., Sept. 2.-Women
and children are running about in the
| open air terribly agi.ated. There are
| three or four steamers in port, including
the buoy tenders, and many Of the inhsb-
itants are provided with berths on these
boats. Fortunately the weather has been
good, and hardships are not as severe as
| they might have been. The situation,
however, is becoming horrible-cut of
from communication with the rest
of the world and afflicted and haunted
with the prospect of immediate death.
Tha. is about the condition of this COM
munity. No trains have departed or ar
| rived here in "a hours. 1t is said that all
of the railroads leading into the city are
crippled. The statement is made that all
of the railway tracks are in places twisted
into the shape of snakes. Owing to the
demorslized condition of everything here
it is impossible to give correct facts
further than the number of casual ties have
not yet boon ascertained. Probably from
80 to 40 were killed, and over 100 are in
iured. The loss is So, ZOO, 900 or $40, 0OO,-
900. Three-fourths of the buildings Of
the city will have to be rebuilt.

perienced here was at II so last night,

days and nights of horror women and
children have been camping out in parks
and squares. 1t is impossible to give any
correct estimate of the loss OF life and
property. For two days and nights the
people have done nothing but huddle on
squares. Small detached relief parties
are going on to dig out the dead from the
debris or succor the wounded. The first
systematized effort TO get at the facts is now
being made. The list OF the dead recog-
nized and reported this morning at this
time III A. NJ foots up 16, and the search
has only commenced. The list of the
wounded will go into the hundreds.
About ~seven-eighths of the houses and
public buildings in the city are either
damaged or wrecked. Even the historic
St. Michael's and st. Phillips are so
badly wrecked that it ia feared they will
have TO be taken down. Waves from 9:55
O'Clock on Tuesday night have been com
ing about every five or six hours. There
has been none now for II hours, and
strong hopes are entertained here that the
worst is over.
AUGUSTA, Ca, Sept. 2.-Another shock
was felt here at 5 P. M. yesterday, causing
the people to rush into the streets. The

New YORK, Sept. 2.-Three hundred
Mormons arrived on the Wyoming. There
was a message from Castle Garden that
woke up Emigrant Commissioners Starr
and Stephenson yesterday morning.
These snti-Mormon citizens made up their
minds to make things hot for the Nor
MONS, and they fastened to Castle Garden.
When the Wyoming passengers were
landed all the gates were closed and no
one was permitted to go out or TO enter
the rotunda. At the registration desk the
Commissioners asked each man or woman
individually where he or she was going.
Five modest looking English girls were
nearly thrown into Mysteries when told the
kind Of life they would lead in Utah.
Over 100 of the emigrants were detained,
and will be sent back as paupers unless a
bond for 5000 is given in each case as
security that they will o become depend
