MATERIAL LIME,
o’clock this morning, a heavy tem-
pest howled up and down our de-
serted streets, which reminded «old
■salts” of the whistling fury of ocean
.storms.
Retween 3 and 4 o’clock a. m., tile
wind apparently swung round to the
S. S. E., from which point of the
compass, however, it again veered
.round to the northeast, and without
abating in violence. •
This morning the entire southern
portion of the city was one sheet of
muddy water, in some places a eva-
ple of feet deep, particularly around
streets are bare of human beings,
except here and there a group of
men in oil-cloths, talking about the
storm.
About 11 o’clock the wind showed
seme signs of abating.
The beautiful groves around the
residences of ’Col. Nathan Fuller
and Mr. Horace Taylor near Long
Bridge, are prostrated, some of the
trees having been standing over a
quarter of a century. Long bridge
itself is threatened by the large
magnolia trees falling against it.
LATEST 3 P. M—After a deceptive
lull in the storm, the wind has veered
to the North and is now blowing
from that quarter with destructive
fwry. Houses are now being un-
roofed, shatters wrenched off, and
stardy bujldings threatened with
destraetiep. The loss will be seri-
os.

Capital, $600,000
The Mississippi Conservative is just
to hand with a full account of the re-
cent troubles in that State. On the
second day the negroes, in the Clin-
ton affair, were punished severely,
some forty or fifty of them being
killed, without the loss of any white
men. The affair whs a deplorable
one indeed and shows how unfitted
the negroes are for the prominence
into which they have been forced ail
over the South. Intermeddling with
politics has been the curse of our
former slaves while they seem not to
have realised the fact. Could they be
disfranchised for a number of years
until they were educated up to a cor-
rect appreciation of their duties and
responsibilities as suffragans, it would
be a blessing to them, and to the
country whose laws they now assist
in making. The Conservative in the
conclusion of its article says that if
Gov. Ames expects by his manifesto
against unauthorised military compa-
nies to prevent tlRe whites from or-
ganising against a possible servile
irruption that he-is laboring under a
mistake. There is bad blood evi-
denced and we hardly expect thor-
ough quiet until the government
passes into the hands of the true peo-
ple of that State.
Dean Stanley calls Westminister
Abbey a “consecrated temple of re-
conciled eeclesiastieal enmities.”

No. 7 Preston St., near corner of Travis,
the same fate, beiag blown down in
every direction. The enclosure
around the premises of Col. W. J.
Hutchins, “Second‘Ward, was scat.,
tered to the winds; several trees in
Conrhouse Squareand opposite were
made to strike acquaintance with the
mud; the roof of Gray’s Building
was badly injured, letting in immense
quantities of water; Koehler’s and Pi-
lot’s new buildings were both dam-
aged by the tearing off the roofing,
whilst other buildings, including the
• Market, were badly damaged. One
gentloman, living in the Fourth
Ward, stated to us that he was dam-
aged SI 000, and no doubt’others are
in the same fix. A perfect torrent
flowed or rushed down Caroline
street, underming the crossing, and
washing a gully four feet deep imme-
diately over the brick sewer under-
neath..
In First Ward much damage was
done. Several houses and buildings
were roofed. There is a perfect
Hood in the Bayou, which now al-
most touches the base of the concrete
building and still rising, .the current
—which is very small—showing the
continuance of the storm below—
being full pf debris, including
, shingles, lumber and other like
.merchandise left on its banks.
So far we have heard of no loss of
life, though the inmates of several
dwellings were in jeopardy from the
jfall of frees.

intelligence has been had since Wed-

learned, however, to render the
belief not unreasorable that, in that
city have probably occurred within
the last 36 hours an amount of dam-
age to life and property never before
experienced in the history of the
Island City.
