Regulator Captain Doane, from New Yorkj arrived in port this morning. Captain Doane reports that the recent galo struck him on Monday off Cape Henry about 8 o'clock in the morn ing, wind from Southeast, and lasted uns til 4 or 5 o'clock that afternoon. There was a heavy sea on which swept the decks of the vessel and even invaded the Captaiu;s room, wetting and damaging pa pers and charts to a considerable extent. The only material damage done to the . i ship, however, was the carrying away of the foresail and mainsail and the port round house. Captain Doane thinks the storm was a regular cyclone which trav elled up the Gulf Stream from the West Indies. The cargo of the steamer was un injured and is being landed and delivered to consignees to day in a perfectly sound condition. Captain D. expresses him" self as very much in love with his ship because she behavrd so beau'ifuily and rode out the nale iu such a handsome i manner.

A friend who was 'oa i the spot" sends us the following in reference te the Ger man barque Marie which was blown ashore at the mouth of the river during the recent gale. His letter is dated Monday, and therefore does not give as late infor mation as we would be glad to learn. Mr, i - Feschau, however, has gone to the wreck and when he returns we will1 learn more about it. Our correspondent says: The German barque Marie, 266 tons, Capt. August Perm en, of Rostock: which was loading in the Middle Ground, oppo site Bald Head Light House, was ground ed during the gale of the 18th inst. The mate of the barque, to ensure her safety, cut away her masts. At daylight the rev enue cutter Ci-lfax, Capt. Frank Barr, steamed out to her assistance and sent a bot'screw, in charge of an officer, to see what assistance could be rendered. They found that the barque had six feet of wa ter in the hold and was pounding heavily en the bottom. At ..the mates request the boat hauled up under the stern ot the barque as, there being a heavy sea from the southwest, the boat could not go alongside with safety. The boat then, with much difficulty, took off ten men, as it was feared, at the time, that the vessel would go to pieces, the wind and sea both being very heavy at the time. The Colfax laid by the barque during the. day atlO A. M. made a liue fasi and attempted to pnll her off, but the title ebbing and the vessel being half fall of water she could not be star jd. At 6 P.M. the vessel had ten feet of water in the hold and it was increasing fast. Since that the wind and sea has moderated and thelvessel is now laying easily. Tiie Colfax then returned the crew to the vessel and steamed back to Smithville. Window Glass of all sizjs at Jacobi's Hardware Depot. f Wine and cake for Erenlngi.

The Fearful Disaster at Beaufort. From Mr. John D. Williams, who was iu the Atlantic Hotel at Beautort during prtvelenca of the storm on Suodaynight. we learn the following: The storm had been brewing all Sun day and burst upon them about 9 o'clock Sunday night It grew stronger and stronger un-il about 4 o clock in the morning when it was at its highest Mr. Williams retired about 2 o'clock acd aboutj 3 some one awoke hjm saying he should not lose the grandeur of the, storm At that time the water was within about 3 feet of the piazza on the first1 floor. After looking around and taking in the situation he repaired to the room doors of the ladies in'bis party and told them to get ; up and then went through the house waking the other -guests! He again went down stairs aud fouud that the tide had risen very rapidly and that the water was then about waist deep on the first floor ot the building. Hurrying , back to the sleeping apartments of his 'ladies, he found that they had only partly dressed themselves but hurried them out as soon as possible. Some ran out in jwappers, others barefooted, 'none of them; carrying anything more than what they had on. Itwasarush for life: and no time fcr gathering clothing, jewelry or souvenirs. They were placed 'm the billiard room, some distance in the rear of the hotel, when Mr. Williams started back to he?p rescue other ladies, and try to save what little of their property he could. During this time the tide had risen from 15 to 20j feet and it was then up to the second i story windows of the building. Just at this time two young men from Newbern, Mesers Guion and Disosway, were seen to i throw a mattress out of a third-story window on the surging billows b;low and then immediately plunge into the water. They gained the mattress and by its aid succeeded in making the shore. I i The tide was rapidly rising and the ladies were moved from the billiard room and as they waded out the building suc cumbed to the" fury of the waves and wind. Almost immediately afterwards the Atlaniio Hotel was seen to careen and in a moment there was not one timber S " left standing on the other. The tide was rapidly rising during this time and it was found necest-ary to again move, the ladies which was done with Considerable dif i I i liculty and danger, as the velocity of the wind had greatly increased. The move had to be made over a gangway or wharf which is open to the seas aud fury of the wiud. Fortunately the gangway was supplied with a stout railing about waist high. In crossing this gangway with a lady clasped around the waist Mr. Wil liams and his charge were taken up bodily and carried along the wharf for ;some dis tance before he could grasp the railing and regain his footing. Three times had the lady inmatj'M of the house been moved to terra finna, but beljore the last one was carried over the gangway the boards had been washed off and a gentle man from Newbern, who was earring the last one over, was compelled to swing her on his back and crawl along the timbers on his all fours. After getting them across in safety they were carried to the Ocean House but were soon forced to leave there as the water was rapidly following them, and in a short time the roof of that house was carried away by the wind. They finally took a stand about a half mile in rear of the Atlantic Hotel where they remained until after the storm, having gone most of t e distance in water waist deepj Tne stores and buildings on Water street were washed away and between fifty and sixty boats lost. A steam launch doing revenue service in the Sounds was driven ashore up in the woods at least a quarter of a mi. e from high atcr mark. The banks were jstrawn with timbers, trunks, etc., and as soon as the storm abated the victims immediately instituted search among the debris for their trunks, valuables and jewelry. Many portions Pof trunks were recovered and! some few ardcles of wearing appareL One of the trunks belonging to j Miss Fanny Wil liams, of this city, was recovered appar. ently unhurt; the balance of the Wil mingtonians lost all their wearing ap parel with the exception of a waterproof, wrapper, or something of the kind. CoL Jno. W. Atkinson and family, the Misses Williams, Misses Murchison, and Messrs- ChasJ J. Mitchell and John D. Williams ' returned here this morning. They leL Beaufort jesterday, arriving in Goldsboro about ! 10 o'clock last night. They were gladly ! welcomed back and congratulated upon their narrow escape from an awful death. Being unable to purch- elor borrow suitable clothing their costumes were ou the patch-up order, which gave them the appearance of per sons having p; seJ through a ter. ible or- ileal. iJv.e of the ladies wore a pair of gentlemen's hps, while Mr. Mitchei feel w -re snugly eseoneed in a pw of No. 12 brogaus, and his pants looked : s j though t ley were made for a young giant. Notwithstanding the great and inrmiuent danger through which the party bjid jutt passed, they were in g-vnl spirits, and have seemed to ei jo ihe novelty of their rough epei iei.ee. jMr. Williams tells5 us that the grandeur of the stoim begga.j description. j Tad Lis of the personal eflVcts of the boarders at the Atlantic Hotel u estimated at $10,000, while that of the real estate and damage to the t wn of Beaufort and Morebead City is variously estimated at immense figures. He siys no one can form the least adequate conception ot the d image done by ,as description of it. They all speak in glowing terms of the heroism of the unfortunate Jehu Daves Hughes who lost his life in attempting to save others. Mr. Hughes, a fine, promising) young man of only 23 years of age, of a well cultivated mwid, handsome in person and brave, chivalrous and daring in disposition, is the only loss of life reported at Beau fcrtf and his was laid down in endeavor- ing to save another. Ue, in company with Mr. Basil Manly, his friend, had ben instrumental jin saving more than one person from the wrecked building and at length, thinking that ' I every body wasjout they made their own escape. It was then that Mr. Hughes, espying his cousin, Mr. Jnol M. Roberts, on the roof of the hotel, dashed back to save him. MrJ Roberts escaped but it was the last time Mr Hughes was sen alive. As he was an excellent swimmer it is supposed that he must have been struck and stbnned by some of the failing titr-J bers of tne house. A dispatch wps re ceiyed here t -day stating that his body bad been found ou Bird Island Shoal, about a quarter of a mile in front of the 'spot where the Atlantic Hotel stoodj Maj Grahim DaveL, uncle to the unfortunate young man, leaves here to-niorrow ra rn ing for Newbern to be present at the fu-t neral ceremonies. ; I , Loss of the North Carolina. It is with much regret that we learn of the loss of the beautiful British ill.. barque North. Carolina, as fine a vet-sel 8b ever sailed to or from this port. The information comes to us thropgh the me- i t . i dium of a dispatch from Capt. Buchao to the consignees in this city, Messrs Alex Sprunt & Son, audi is dated Station No 4, Little Island, ( Sixth District, Va, which is two stations South of Cape Henry. Capt. Buchan telegraphs that the North Carolina was driven ashore yes i i -T terday morning at the above station and bow lies high and dry du the beach. She went ashore in a terrible hurricane with the wind N. N. E. to E. N. E. All sails were lost end there wr? much doubt of getting the ship off unless the weather changed very soon'. The men were all landed in safety. The North Carolina was built on the Clyde about two years ago, j especially for the Wilmington trade, and was cwte I by her commander, -.Capt. Buchan, and Herbert Barber, Esq, of Liverpool. She was built of the finest material, with iron hull and masts, and finished woodwork of teak, black walnut and mahogany. She registered 563 ions and was classel A 1. Her cost was about 842,000 and it is said that she was insured to her full value. , The North Car Una had just made her fifth voyage to this port, put havipg been denied admission to the city in con sequence of her late arrival from Ber muda, was chartered to load with grain at. Baltimore, and was on her wayj to that city when sbo was overtaken by the storm and lost. There are but faint hopes of getting her off . - ' ! : lobbed by a River Pirate. The steamer Governcs Island, which put in at this port jin distress a few days ago, was boarded last night by a sneak thief.and Mr. James (Dolan, the engineer, relieved of) his valiss containing sundry articles of clothing,' together with his gold tuds, sleeve buttons; and certificate and license from the government be sides other papers of value to him alone.
