The protracted spell Of unfavorable
weather eliminated Friday night and
yesterday morning in a heavy blow and
rain storm. During the morning, how
ever, the weather quieted down, and the
wind went to southwest. A large fleet
of sailing vessels, which had been held
back by the northeastern, took advan-
tage of the change, and put to sea.
The steamer Clayton came in from
Beaufort yesterday with a good lot of
passengers and miscellaneous freight,
including some 500 cases of oysters.
