parted her cables during tho gale and went
ashore in the marsh between Sapelo and

Augusta. Ga, Sept. 1.-The weather CON
tinues bad and heavy general rains still pre-
vail. The South Carolina Railroad is wash
ed out in many places and no trains have
been running since yesterday morning. At
many points the country is flooded, making
1T impossible to telegraph repair men to get
through to repair the wires. Tie Telegraph
Officials are hard at work, however, with
q large force OF men; and communication is
being restored as rapidly as possible. One
Of the Western Union repair men was kill

by being thrown from q hand car, on which
material was being carried to repair the
telegraph lines.

Nearly every incoming vessel brings a
story or ravages by the recent oyolonio
storms. There are barometric indications
about the Gulf of Mexico now which
ordinarily would escape notice but in this
season Of cyclones they are suspicious. A
wave of chilly weather is coming this way
from the West, and may reach here this
evening.
It is not every vessel which profits by
these storms which have recently swept the
coast. The Norwegian steamer Breidablk,
from Cardenas, reached here yesterday with a
substantial souvenir of the tempest. On
Aug, 80 the B%reidablik at l p. M, in latti-
tude 1920, and longitude 744l, sighted the
dismasted and abandoned bark Villa which
sailed May "a from Alexandria. Egypt,
bound for New York. The abandoned yes
sel was loaded with bones and rags. Her
mainmast had snapped of flush with the
deck and her fore top gallant and mlzzen top
masts had disappeared, but her hull was IN
.plendid condition. TIL captain of the
Rraidablik put on board the Villa a prize
orsw consisting of the chief officer and three
men. The Villa was undoubtedly dismasted
IN one of the recent hurricanes, and her Grew
bscouing panic stricken at the sight OF fall
inS spars and rigging abandoned the vessel
