deep regret yesterday and very general IN

doncy was 10 believe that the loss OF life
had been greatly exaggerated and perhaps
the loss OF property as well. though It was
generally admitted thas the condition OF
affairs must indeed be serious. There was

the storm had chosen to cxpend It's force
upon the cities OF the Gulf rather than to
visit it's wrath upon Savannah. though
there was no disposition TO rejoice in the
misfortune Of Galveston.
