CHARLESTON, Sept. THE News
and Courier estimates the losses by the
recent storm in Charleston at 81, III 500.
The experience of 1855 taught the
Charlestonians lesson and over ST.
100000 cyclone insurance was held
there.
This will greatly offset the damages.
Six persons We're killed and two in
jured at Charleston, and Others are
missing The damage to crops amounts
to several jlundred thousand dollars.
Every town in the state suffered.
The damage to Beaufort and Port
Royal and the neighboring lowland
skirting the Atlantic coast was fright
full if reports are accurate.
Rice fields along the Savannah and
its affiuent streams were torn up by the
winds and waters. Water was driven
in from the Atlantic and the tides are
unprecedentedly high, in some places
being 1S feet above mean high water
mark. The sea island cotton farms
were terribly washed out.
Indefinite reports received from Port
Royal and Beaufort make it appear
that the storm did greater damage
there and in that vicinity than else
where One report is to the effect thai
100 lives were lost at those places anc
along the Atlantic coast intervening.
