He has done a good deal of excellent work, and we are glad to know that when he was ridiculed even by Southern writers a few years ago wo found much to admire and very genuine merit in the man. We venture to say that the best exponents of North ern culture and criticism will be found bestowing high and deserved praise upon this gifted son of the South. We will give some particu lars of his iife hereafter. . An excel lent editorial upon him in the Balti more American says of his works and genius: 4,Mr. Lanier bad all cf a poet' a tempera ment aod much of a poet's power, a dainty sen&e- of melody in words, a daring and in vtutive fancy and subtlety of thought "lie bad a fondness for antique diction, and for the um of words in their strict rather than their conventional meanings. Hia 'Cen tennial Ode was much admired by tboee who read it with such care as to see the depth of its meaning. 11 is poem 'Corn waa fall of beauty, ilia work oa the Philosophy of English Veree was highly logeniooa and thoughtful, and eminently characteristic of the mind at once imagina tive and analytic. But be is better known by bia 'Boy's Froissart' and his 'Boy's King Arthur' than any of his other literary works. It was bu mUfortone to write chiefly under the spar of necessity, and It may be doubt ed that he ever gave complete expression to that which was great within him."

Music, refreshments, etc. The peculiar appearance of the sky on Thursday afternoon, and on other occasions during the past week, was noticed far North of us, even in Vermont. It was no doubt a precursor of the. great storm. Haverly's New Mastodon Min atreU appear at the Opera House next Sat urday night.. Mr. D. B. Hodges, well known here as a manager and agent, was tn the city yesterday making arrangements for their arrival. Several of our Christian friends suggest that thanks be returned to Almighty God io our churches to-day for our won- derful preservation, as a city, in the storm of Friday last. It was surely providential that in such an awful and raging storm no more lives were lost. From private letteis received from New York we learn that on Tuesday, at a gentleman's home twenty-four miles from that city, tho thermometer showed 102 degrees in the shade, while on Wednes day it appeared still hotter in the city, and on Thursday it was intensely hot, with no sgaa of letting up. Prisoner from Pndr. Moses Jordan and Wash. Pickett, alias Wash. James, alias Wash. Koonce, both colored, were brought to this city yester day morning, under a commitment from Justice W. E.

FURTHER PABTICUXABS OF TBS GREAT GALES OF FRIDAY LAST DAMAGE TO VESSELS BELOW HOUSES AT FORT FISHER SWEPT AWAY DEATH OF ONE OF THE YICTIAI3 OF THE W. ft W. FREIGHT HOUSE DISASTER DAMAGE TO CROPS, TURPENTINE a TREES, AC. A stroll through the streets and along oar wharves yesterday gave uia much more adequate conception of the ravages of the tempest on Friday than we had previ ously entertained. Iu fact, iu the brief in terval allowed us after the subsidence of the stotms we had very little opportunity to acquaint ourselves with all the particu lars of the numerouB disasters which they entailed upon tho people of Wilmington and its vicinity. The destruction of shade trees through out the city is not among the least of the evils entailed upon us by the terrible blow It is probable that at least six or eight hun dred of the finest trees in the city have been prostrated, while others have been stripped of most of their limbs. The most of the elms stood the blast remarkably well, but the mulberry, chinaberry and some others stood no showing; but a great many even of elms and oaks succumbed to the fury of the gale, especially in exposed places. All over the city, too, fences were lying upon the ground, and the sound of hammers could te heard in.every direction, as the bnsy workmen toiled to remedy the damage done. It is an old saying that it is an ill wind that blows nobody atiy good," and the truth of it is verified in this case, as it is probable that carpenters and other workmen will te kept busy for some time repairing the damages resulting from the storms. The scene at the Wilmington & Weldon and Carolina Central depots yester day was a fair indicatipn of the fury of the hurricanes . We found those who witnessed the sight of the roof of the W. & W. shed on the wharf being taken off bodily and hurled through the air a distance- of one hundred yards or more and thrown upon the hill in the vicinity of the machine shops, and they deacribo the scene as a fearful display of the power of the tempest when in it) most furions mood. Some of the flying l.-ams and rafters and tin from the roof came tn contact with a tree just inside of the inclosure, near the machine shops, and twisted the lop off of it, leaving a large portion of the tin dangliog from the trunk. ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS. The house on. the southwest corner of Ninth and Red Cross streets, known as Browning's church, where religious ser vices aro frequently held by colored people, was blown down- A colored woman who was in 'bed at the time made a narrow escape, one of the beams having fallen against the bed-post, but she was rescued from among the rubbish without much in ju- i. Tia from the roof of St. .Staph en 'a A M E. church struck the Peabpdy schooL, house on the other side of the square, and damaged it slightly. Several of the pillars supporting the upper piazza of Mr. W. G. Fowler's residence, corner of Front and Ann streets, were blown out, but the piazza remained in position. Tho tin roof of the rice mill on Point Peter, belonging to the W. F. Potter estate, was blown off. One of the chimneys of Capt. Divine's resi dence, on Mulberry, between Third and Fourth streets, was broken off and thrown down upon the roof. Some of the windows were also ..blown out and carpets, etc., damaged by water beating in. The severi ty of the gale was greatly felt on the still yard of Messrs. Morton & Hall, who had all of their still chimneys blown down, sheds broken in, and a portion of the roof of their spirits turpentine shed taken off, water-pipe broken, etc. Mr. Morton was standing in his office door and witnessed the taking off of the entire east ern side of the roof of the spirits shed, which was whirled into the air aud precipi tated into the yard about one hundred feet from the shed. He estimates his loss at about $200. The store and residence of Mr. Chas. Schulken, corner of Fourth and Swann streets, was unroofed, and his fur niture was badly damaged by water, and the store and residence of Mr. J. W. Robins, corner of Fourth and Nixon streets, was served in tue same way, while the whole neighborhood was blockaded with trees. A dwelling on Third, between Red Cross and Campbell Btreets, occupied by Mr. H. Clowe, had the tin blown from the roof. The tin roc1! of the old Roberts foundry, or Clarendon Irou Works, was blown cff. in the vicinitt. At Mr. J. F. Garrell's Bans tfjuci plantai lion, on the Little Bridge road, near the city, a new and large barn, 160 feet in length by 86 feet in width, was totally de molished, the timbers being twisted and broken almost into fragments. About one mile of his fence was also prostrated. He had fifty acres in cotton, which was pre senting a splendid appearance before the storm, and he now estimates that it will be damaged at least one-half. The ground yesterday morning was almost literally covered with green bolls. He has two hundred and fifty acres in lowland rice, which has been damaged considerably by the heads being thrashed off, but to exactly what extent he cannot now say. Nearly all of the fine grove of trees at what was formerly "his Sins Soucl residence were also blown down, only two or three being left standing. Mr. Bray, bis overseer, estimates Mr. Gsrr ell's loas at not under $3,00GV At the Fair rounds only one small building was left N. C.. SUNDAY. SEPTEMBER 11. 1881. standing. The main building went first, and the remainder followed in quick suc cession. A colored woman, her grown daughter and two or three children were in one of the houses, but managed to escape serious injury, Mr. Thomas Monk's cotton crop near the city -was badly damaged. The corn crop in Brunswick county, we learn, is badly injured, many of tho ears being beaten off the stalks. Judge Rus sell's loss in cotton, it iaestimated, will reach $1,200. The rice crops are also badly damaged. The gale played havoc with the TURPENTINE TREES. A gentleman stated yesterday that over one-third of the turpentine trees , from Town Creek, Brunswick county,- to this city, were blown down; and another slated that on the line of what is known as the "Nigger Head" road, nearly one-half of them were prostrated. Ia some places where formerly there were thick clumps only a very few are now standing. Out on tho Little Bridge road, to a distance of about four of five miles, a great number were prostrated. THE DAMAGE 9EL0W. At Fort FiBher. where there is a tmall fishing village, all the houses but one were swept away. The one standing was form erly occupied as officers' quarters, and it had its piazza carried away. One house, located near the water, belonging to a Mr. Mayo and occupied by a Mr. Thomas Smith, was washed entirely away, not a vestige of it being left, to gether with all of Mr. Smith's furniture and clothing; the family barely escaping with their lives. A party from this city who was there at the time, left about 2 o'clock that afternoon and walked home, all the boat nets, etc., being washed away. Capt. Harper, of tbe'steamer Pauport, who gives us the above information, states that the new dredge, E. V. White, is all safe, but the scows are all high and dry at Price's Creek and will have to be lauuehed off. The schooner Hose, loaded with lumber, sunk at her wharf at Smithville. The pilot boat J. A. Levensaler, the schooner Siam, the pilot boat Swift and the schooner Plant are all high and dry on the "Rocks" between Smithville and Fort Cas well. The pilot boat Uriah limmont collided with the barque Qlaeier and sunk in the channel, all hands on botrd saving themselves; and the Qlaeier aftciwards went ashore on tba "Rocks." Ibe tug Alpha, the steamer Passport and the reve nue cutter Colfax all pulled on her yester day morning, but failed to move "her. The pilot boat Mystery came inside Friday morning, when ber sails were blown away and she drifted outside, and soon after wards went ashore down the beach about four miles from Smithville. The captain and crew saved themselves by swimming ashore. The Mystery, which is a total wreck, belonged to Mrs. Bmith and others.of Smith ville, and the UriaJi limmons to Capt. C. C. Morse, (the latter, it will be remembered, being the boat that rode out the great storm in Eafety when the pilot boat Mary Sprunt went down outside the bar with all on hoard some years ago.) In Smithville very lit'.lo damage was suffered, a few trees and fences being blown down. The wharves and bath houses were carried away by the previous storm. The revenue cutter Col fax came in from Georgetown and reported no gale in that direction. She took off two men that had been left on the ship La Louisiana, who would otherwise probably have perished. DEATH FROM THE STORM. Isaac Shaw, one or ihe victims of the disaster to the freight warehouse of the Wilmington & Weldon Railroad, during the storm, died yesterday morning, about 1 o'clock. He had one of his legs broken in two or three places, and was otherwise in jured. There were four men in the house at the time, and they had eaten their din ners and were sitting down, waiting for the bell to ring for them to recommence work when they saw their danger and attempted to escape, running in the direction where the most danger was to be expected in stead of in the opposite one. The men were named Isaac Shaw, James Davis, Gilbert Halladay and Daniel Sanders. Davis is said to be in a somewhat critical condition, but may recover. Gilbert Halladay, whose ribs were fractured on the right side and who was bruised on the back and shoulder, is doing as well as could be expected. Sanders' injuries are not con sidered serious. Shaw, who lived on Han over, between Second and Third streets, formerly resided in Goldsboro, and was about 24 or 25 years of age. He bad no family, we understand. The hurricane struck the steamer John Damon while she was on her way to the city and about five miles from the mouth of Black river. Under good management the boat sustained no damage, but Capt. Sher man had a narrow escape. He was blown bodily from the hurricane deck, but in his fall managed to catch on the upper deck of the boat and save himself. The dwelling house on Front street. corner of Walnut, had a narrow escape from burning during the height of the gale. The proprietor and his wife were absent, but fortunately Mr. Sanderlin, who boards in the house, was at dinner when the alarm was given, and managed to extinguish the fire, which had caught in the woodwork around one of the chimneys. The loss, by the two storms in Wilming ton is variously estimated, and will probai bly reach as high as $100,000, it not more. MYRTLE GROVE SOUND. Jas. W. Green, (colored) writes to the Star that the storm did considerable dam age on the plantation of Mr. R. B. Freeman. It unroofed and wrecked a large pea-house, and blew down the stables, cart shed and fencing; much damage was done to Mr. ifi nstj "? rt "".'? rreemans pea crops, nnc trees were xja " - - h- - - blown down in all directions, and the main road for foureeen miles is almost impassable on "this account. John E. Mitchell's kitchen was blown down, but no one was hurt. K3r"See fourth page for other local news and new advertisements. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
