AUGUSTA, Ga, Aug. 31.-News from
the storm-swept district of Port Royal
and Beaufort is still very meager.
There is no telegraphic communication
with these places, the only news OBJ
tainable being by mail. News received
by the Chronicle brings the startling
Intelligence that seventy dead and
swollen bodies were taken from the
Coosaw river by searching parties. Not
one-half of the horrors of the storm has
yet been told, as messengers from sur
rounding sections are arriving hourly
bringing news of deaths and terrible
havoc caused by Saturday nights gale.
The result of the days work of relief
puts the number Of missing at over 100,
but owing TO the poor means of com
munication correct lists OF the dead
cannot be obtained. At several places
along the Coosaw river were found
eight or ten bodies lying on the bank
close together. Graves were hastily
dug near the places of discovery of
the bodies and without ceremony the
storm victims were placed beneath the
earth. Many Of the dead were so adj

Mr.. Oscanyan. In his book, 1.-THE Sui

who was very i'll Of typhus fever. The
prescribed for the patient and took his
leave. The next day, in passing by, he
inquired of q servant at the door if his
master was dead.

much better"
The doctor fastened upstairs to OBJ

Why" said the convalescent, 81 was
consumed with thirst, and / drank a
pailful of the juice of picked cabbage"
"WonderfulF' quoth the doctor; and
out came the tablets, ON which he made
this inscription: 'Cured of typhus
fever, Mehemed Agha, an upholsterer,
by drinking q pailful Of picked cab
bage juice"
Soon after the doctor was called to
another patient, a yaghlikgee, or dealer
In embroidered handkerchiefs, who was
suffering from the same malady. He
forthwith prescribed "a pailful of
picked cabbage juice" On calling the
next day TO congratulate his patient on
his recovery, he was astonished to be
told that the man was dead. In his be-
wilderment at these phenomena, he
came to the safe conclusion, and duly
noted 1t In his memoranda. that al
though in cases of typhus fever picked
cabbage juice is an efficient remedy, it
Is not to be used unless the patient be
by profession an upholsterer."
