o 4 i in in hi is VOLUME XI NUMBER 71 . WILMINGTON, N. Co SATURDAY MORNING, AUGUST 30, 1856,: WHOLE NUMBER 1226 J1 M 1 1 MISCELLANY, THE SAD CALAMITY AT . LAST. ISLAND FURTHER PARTICULARS. - J One of the sufferers by the terrible storm and overflow at Last Island, La., has fur hished the New Orleans Picayune With Ihe following distressing particulars; On Saturday night, the 9th ; instant, a heavy northeast "wind prevailed, which ex fciled the fears of a storm in the minds of to any ; the wind increased gradually until Xbout iti o'clock on Sunday morning, when here existed no longer "any doubt that we Were threatened with imminent danger: From that time the wind- blew a" perfect t hurricane ; every building upon the island giving way, one after another, until nothing remained. At this moment every one fought the most-eWvated ' poittt on the is land, exerting themselves at the same time to avoid the fragments of the buildings, which Were scattered in every direction by the wind Many persons were wounded ; 1 some mortally. The water at this time, (about 2 o'clock;!?. M.) commenced rising so rapidly from the bay side that there could he no longer any doubt that the is land would be submerged. The, scene at this moment forbids description. ' Men,wo raen and children were seen running: in every direction in search of some means of salvation-. The, violence of the -wind to gether with the rain, which fell like hail, and the sand which blinded the eyes, pre vented many from reaching the objects they had aimed at At about 4 o'clock the Bay and Gulf turrents met and the sea waved over the whole island. , Those who were so fortu hate as to find some object to cling to were seen floating in all directions. Many of them, however, were separated from . the traw to which they clung for life, and launched into eternity; the others were washed away by the. rapid current and drowned before - they could reach their point of destination. Many were drowned from being stunned by scattered fragments of the buildings, which had been blown asunder by the storm; others were crush ed by the floating timbers and logs, which were removed from the beach, and met Ihem on their journey. To attempt a des cription of this sad event would be useless. No words can,' depict the awful scene which occurred on the nights of the 11th nnd"12th inst. i it was not until the next morning, the 12th, that we could ascertain the extent of. the disaster. Upon my re turn, after having drifted for about twenty hours, I found the steamer Star, which had arrived the day, before, and was laying at anchor, a perfect wreck, nothing but her hull and boilers and a portion of her ma' . -chinery remaining upon this wreck . tba lives of a large number were saved to . wards her each one directed his path as he was recovered from the deep, and was., welcomed with tears by his fellow sufferers "Who had been so fortunate -as to escape the scene was heart rending ; the good for tune of many a pooj individual in being aved was blighted by the news of the loss of a father, brother, sister, wife or some near relative. I will not prolong the detail of this unparalleled catastrophe, but will give you the list, as correctly as I could obtain it, of those who were lost : Dr. Batey, lady four children and two servants; Adrien Frere, lady and son; Gabriel Grevunberg,Gaspard Ratin,Thom es Mille, lady and three servants ; Homer Mille, lad jr and child ; Michael Schlatre, lady, seven children and six servants; John Muggab,!wife and two children,' and five servants; James Muggah and son, John Barlaflsyi Mrs. B.

Rochelle, Achillee Hebert, wife, child" and servant; Mrs. !T. Landry, two children and four servar.ts ; Mrs A. Comeau, five " children and four servants; L. H. Prewett, Jr., Mrs. D. Rentrop, daughter and servant; Mr. Turner, lady and servant; Mr. Reed, wife, child and two servants ; ; Mrs. Flash and child ; Mrs. Thos. Maskell, three chil dren and one servant ; Mr. Midnight, two servants of Mr, Ellis; Mr. Case, P.

Babin, Mrs Eloi Babin, . Mrs. Boudreaux, Mrs. Bell John Schneider, 17. Fitz, servant of G. A. Briant, two chii 3ren of Mr. Bentiton, Tom, free negro ; - Harriett, "slave of D. , Muggah two chil- - Jren of Mr. Huggins. j i . , As I before stated, not a single building . withstood the storm. . The loss of property is immense, amounting to at least $100,- ' COO; the principal sufferers being John Muggah &" Co., Thos. Maskell, P. C. , Bethel, Gov. ; Hebert, Thomas Mille, L. Desobry, Lynch, :Nash, A. Amani and others -Th loss of baggage belonging to the visitors on the island at the time, which ; is. complete, amounts to at least $5,000 be sides about $10,000 in money on those who wsre drowned, which was nearly all re covered by a set of pirates who inhabit the island ; the bodies of those who were re covered bad ! been invariable robbed by these men; It was an awful scene to see the avidity of these heartless beings to pil lage the dead." I hope that the hand of justice will take hold of them and dispose of thera arthey deserve.. . ? ; The report that the Hon. B. G. Thibo deaax, Dr. Scuddy and G. F. Connolly were tost was- incorrect neory indrjr and Micheal Landry, who are found in the list of victims, were members of one of the oldest, largest and wealthiest families in Louisiana, from which some of its first civil and political positions have been supplied, f The intetmerits of bodies found exposed was carefully attended to ; but in a great number of instances the elements had done the work. The waters carried a depth of several feet of sand and debris on some parts of the island, and have everywhere so changed its surface that those formerly acquainted with it could no longer recog-. nize it. Many bodies rest beneath .the grave thus made for them by nature. HORRID. We have already mentioned the robbery of the dead at Last Island by villains who prowled about like so many hyenas, but we had. ho Idea" that the bodies' were mu tilated, as we are given to understand was the case by the Franklin Banner. We quote: . 'We have been informed that immediate ly after the havoc created by the storm a band of lawless and piratical Italian oys termen upon the island turned into robbing and pilfering the dead as well as the liv ing, of all the money they could find cut ting off the fingers of females to take off their rings, and tearing the ear-rings from their ears. The tortures of the rack is a righteous punishment for a set of men who would resort to such acts of unequalled, horror, and they should be hunted down until discovered, and made to suffer the se verest of all punishments." Several of the inhuman wretches have since been arrested, and came near being lynched by the excited populace. THE CANNON OF THE PALACE ROYAL. Translated from the , French, for the "Spirit of the Times' by H. Fannino Rsad. On a beautiful spring morning a troop of careless children were playing in the gardens of the? Palais Royal, fright ening the ebarrows, throwing stones at the flowers, and, in short racking their brains for some bit of mischief to be played whenever the guards turned their backs. The Germans who sing, "The French shall never have the Rhine j" the Germans who will not sell us horses for our cavalry have made Us amends by a trifling product of their industry, the chemical - matches The Parisian scamp always carries a supply of them in his pocket for his practical jokes. The head of this band in tfie gardens, seizing, a happy moment when no one was observing him, slipped over the balustrade and crawled on all fou rse through the grass to the cannon which is discharged fy the midday sun. It was only half past eleven o'clock, but in the hands of this young artillerist the chejnical match played the part of the suW, and the ' cannon thundered forth its official announcement.' At once, on every side, in the walks, in the galleries, in the coffee houses, the shops : every one drew out his watch. There was a general movement of sur prise and tacit reflections. "Very old ! I thought I was right." "The first time my Breguet ever deceived me !" and the like. The watch-makers were more ama- 1.1 . t mmm zea man tneir customers J wo or three of thestrong-minded ventured to say that the sun was wrong. All the rest moved the hands of their clocks and watches. The infallibility of the sunmust needs find a great number of pa:tisans. At first sight this bit of childish mis chief does not seem so full of harm ; and yet a half hour more or less may produce serious consequences. Let us see. Mr. D , a banker, and supposed prosperous, had lately met with severe losses. He took from his portfolio the following letter : "My dear friend, you have informed me of your precarious position. My own resourses are not sufficient to relieve you : but I start at once for the country, though, I must own, with no great hope. It is more over posible that the means you point out may result favorably. If I procure the sum you need, 1 will bring it to-you somewhere from 12 to 1, in the Orleans Gallery,-where you must wait for me." Twenty times did the banker look at his watch. Suddenly a cold sweat bathed his brow: "One o'clock,, and Lucfe.i not here ! It is all over with me !", Still he lingered ; walked from one end of the . gallery to the other ; watched every path, and not until twejj five minutes past one did the unhappy man quite the Palais Royal. Five min utes before the time appointed Lttcien arrived : the banker had regulated his watch by the cannon ! Every step Mr. D took from the Palais Royal was towards bankruptcy. He had post chaise in readiness lor the event, and hurried off, while Lucien waited m amazement, How were they to divine the secret of the chemieal match ? ; At the hour a young lady, elegantly dressed, entered the Delorme passage : she tcOk two turns through it then said to herself: "Very strange I just took my watcn irom my watenmaker in the Palais Royal ; it must be right : ten minutes past one. Mr. Leopold; should have been here - at one to escort me to the Museum, and nothing is to be seen oi mm. - Her surprise, vexation, and impa tience. . increased " e verV moment, a nd not without reason. Young, pretty, rich, a Iwidow, surrounded by admirers, Madame de Luceval . had selected Mr. 1 .Annrdrl rift Vctu from the crowd ? she had permitted him to hope that for his s&ira Rn wnn a - resume, ine marnacre I bond t she had consented to accompany him to the exhibitionvet at the ap pointed hour he was not to be seen. -"I expected surely he would be here before me ; it seems he does not pride himself on his punctuality, Mr. Litice val's fault : exactily. I should like the' benefit of variety, at least, since men will treat us ill in some way." - Over eighteen minutes past one ; and the young widow left, saying- "The most rigorous politeness eives but fifteen minutes' delay to - indifferent persons. this is a little too much." Leopold arrived - ten minutes before the apiiointmeni. It was his turn to make bitter reflections. "Has she for gotten ? Has she only amused herself at my expense ? Oh ! these widows ;so used to their liberty ! Willi so mueh experience !" The elock of the Tuil leries struck tour, - "Surely I shall find her at some, since she invited me to dinner. "Madam is out," answered the ser vant of whom he inquired : "she said she should dine in the city !" T. here's an end of me ! thought Leopold. Wounded dignity makes so much mischief in love affairs. The projected marriage is broken off, and Madame de Luceval encourages a sui tor-whose punctuality is beyond sus picion. A young man' from she provinces was invited to dine with the parents of a young lady whom he wished to mar ry.' The invitation named six o'clock : the suitor had regulated his watch by the cannon of the Palais Royal; he thought it would be impolite not to be there fifteen minutes beforehand, so he entered at ten minutees past five. He was not expected so soon. He encoun tered the, father coming from the cellar, a candle in one hand and a basket in the other, while his wife was scolding badly at his slowness, which his obesity might well have excused. The wife stormed, the ' husband rejoined, and, to complete the scene, the intended bride was. caught in wordy war. with the ser vants, without time to dissimulate her ill-humor, or improve her toilette, and disappeared before her suitor with ac cessories which proved that the' dinner was prepared by the hands of the graces : Mdlle, Agoe was calted very amiable. "Furiously j amiable," said the lover. Half an hpnr after, the storm had passed ; all was serene and fasci nating :but, the next time a suitor is ex pected to dine, Mdlle. Agloe will assume the drees, the gracesJL.au4--.the bajsbful delicacy of a bride, by five o'clock. FOOTPRINTS OF THE REVOLUTION. The Pittsburgh Chronicle says that the visit of the Hon. George Bancroft, and other distinguished gentlemen, to the scene of Draddock's defeat, near that city, has disclosed the fact that the landmarks of the memorable event have been almost lost, even to those who re side in the immediate neighborhood. The visit of Mr. Bancroft was timely, inasmuch as it resulted in rectifying er rors of locality which have occurred and have received the sanction of some wri ters. UNPROFITABLE VILLAINY. . . The Pawtucket (Mass ) Chronicle rela tes a story of a thief who stole about 912 in change from the store of Wm. Heavens, in that town, a few nights since, but drop ped at the same time a roll of bank bills on the floor amounting to $31. No inquiry hns yet been made for the bills, and Mr. Havens has $19 over and above his loss to repair his window and allay his indignation at being broken in upon and robbed. INFIDELITY", CRIME, DEATH. - The beautiful village of Geneva, N, Y., has been the scene of a sad picture, the prominent features of which will hardly bear presentation The husband, and fath er of two children, left his wife and little ones for California three years ago. The wife was false; the consequence too appar ent She received a week or two since a letter from her absent and trusting hus band, who tells her he is coming home. In despair, she seeks a physician, to try and conceal her disgrace by an operation. Mother and child died in consequence. His heart broken family consigned the poro victims to the grave a few days since, and in the meantime, the fond father and com panion of her youth, is hastening to meet his wife and little ones once mere. The parties are said to be highly ' respecta ble. . The Lumpin (Ga.) Plamdealer has the following : A cock-fighter was boasting of the game of a favorite cock, which he pros posed to fight against the world. His challenge was accepted, and his boasted chicken hacked at the first spur. "My friend," said a by-stander, t:did you not say that your chicken was game t" , uYes he is Burlin-game 1" was the reu ful reply.

A CERTAIN DISEASE. When the misguided and Imprudent votary of pleaaurs finds ha has Imbibed ths seeds of .his painful disease, It too often happens that anlll-tlm. ed sense of shams, or dread of discovery, deters him from applying to those who, Irom education and respectability, can alone befriend him, delay ingtill the constitutional symptoms of this horrid disease make their appearance, auch aa ulcerated aore throat, diseased nose, noctural pains in the hesd and limbs, dimness of sight, deafness, nodrs on the shin bones and arma, blotchea on the heni, face and extstmitles, progressing with frlhtlul ra pidity, till at laat the palate ofthe mouth or the bones of ths nose fall in. snd the victim of this awful diseass becomes s horrid object ofcomhiis scration.till death puts a period to his drcadlul auf fsrlngs, by sending til in to - thst bourne from whence no traveller returns." To such therefore. Dr. Johnston pledges himself to preserve the most Inviolable secrecy j and, from his extensive pras tics in the first Hospitsls of Europe ahd America, hecan confidently recommends safe snd speedy cure to the unfortunate victim of this horrid dis ease. It is a melancholy fact, that thousands fall victims to this dresdful complslnt, owing to the un skll'ulncss of Ignorant pretenders, who, by the use of that deadly poison, mercury, ruin the constitu tion, and either send the unfortunate suffrrrr to sn untimely grave, or else make the residua of lift mis erable.
