HUNDREDS OF NEGROES LOST.
Nyho Lived on the Islands Near Port
Royal.

AUGUSTA, Ga, Aug. S1.-A special
dead bodies have been found on the is
lands about Beaufort and Port Royal
over 100000 of property has been
wrecked near the same points. Both are
the direct result Of the severe storms
which swept along the Atlantic coast
Sunday night. Every one Of the fifteen
or twenty islands lying around Port
Royal and Beaufort are in mourning.
On every door-knob there is a bunch
of Grape and upon every hillside there
are fresh-made graves. The beeches. the
underground, trees and shrubbery, the
marshes and the inlets are revealing
dead bodies every time an investigation
is made. OF the many disasters and de-
vastations which have visited this sec
ton Of the country none has been half
as horrible as that which came Sunday.
Those who are at all posted about the
country and the habits of the people in
the storn-visited sections are confident
In their prediction that the death roll
will run as high as 500. Some of the
the best people Of this state even place
the loss OF more than one thousand.
There has not been an hour of any
day since the early hours Of Monday
morning that a dead body has not been
found at some point on one of the many
Islands. AS the waters recede and the
gathered by the storm the CHASTITY re-
mains are uncovered. So frequent are
these discoveries that the finding Of a
single body attracts no attention at all.
1t requires the discovery of half dozen
or more TO induce the people to show
any feeling whatever
It is around Beaufort and Port Royal
that the death rate was the greatest,
lives lost
Around the two towns there is COM
plete chain Of islands and it was over
these that the angel of death lowered
for hours Sunday night. leaving in his
path sorrow and desolation greater than
ever
AUGUSTA. Ga, Aug. 31.-The loss of
life on the sea islands far exceeds any,
thing yet reported and will not fall far
short of 500. Great restitution exists
among the 1000 remaining inhabitants,
and urgent appeal is made for aid in
yhape Of provisions.
Reliable computation places the dead
at 500. News has been heard from
Helen island. just off Beaufort. The
dead there alone number 12O. The peo-
ple are now suffering for food. The
negroes are so destitute and so badly In
need for something to eat that they
have resorted to fighting among them
selves for food. Several were killed in
a fight for provisions. The negroes are
getting more and more daring in the
struggle to keep their wives and chill
dren from starving.

M. snrlneer seeine the Llght.

Mr.. Springer is not surprised that
gold is scarce commodity in this coun.
try at this time. The balance Of trade
has been running against us and $50,
100000 at least have gone out in the
settlement,
Mr.. Springer is chairman OF the ways
and means committee OF the house Of
representatives and will probably be
continued in that position. He will
have much to do with the preparation
OF tariff bill on a purely revenue
basis. Applying the country's exper-
fence to his theory he will see that q
balance OF trade against us, exceptional
under the protective system, was the
rule under the other system.
In all the years OF the Walker tariff
for.revenue-only the balance OF trade
was In our favor but twice, once in the
year after the passage of that measure
and again in 1858, this time to the ex'
tent of $S,672,0oo.
Free traders argue that when q
country buys more than it sells it gives
proof OF Its prosperity, for il it had not
the money it could not pay the balance.
It is evident that Mr.. Springer is little
shy of this theory, for he speaks rue.
fully of the loss of gold to pay the
difference in the trading.
II he will take this thought into the
committee room with him he will have
trouble to make it harmonic with the
theory on which his party is pledged to
base its tariff bill.
