dray got frightened and came danhing down Front from Market and in the direction of Prin- cess street, but was finally stopped without I dolB. much damage. The wind finally spent itself, and a lull I succeded, which was thought by many to be the winding up of the gale, but soon it I got whispered about that the barometer in I the 8ignal Office was rBpidly falling and I that the storm whioh had just passed over I was shortly to be followed by a still more I 8EVEBE HURRICANE- And we did not have to wait long be fore tbe truth of these prognostications wss abundantly verified. The calm which had succeded the first storm was rudely broken in upon by a terrific gale from the by a drenching rain, and which swept through tbe streets with unprecedented violence, sweeping away th. I the swaying or the building, which was I otherwise uniniured.

I tttr tnttta-rtt AxtTfl I OLDEST INHABITANTS I say mat it has been manv years since this I immediate section has been visited by such Btorms as those of yesterday. One old gentleman says Wilmington experienced such another gale iu the year 1822, and another remembers one that occurred in 1838, at which time the water in tbe river was up to Front street, which he thinks will compare with the hurricanes of yesterday. The Signal Officer here reported the velocity of tbe wind at one time during the last gale at 90 miles per hour. The loss by the storms in this city is variously estimated at from $30,000 to $50,000. MORE LOSSES.

A warehouse on South Water street oc cupied by Mr. W. I. Gore and containing several thousand bushels of peanuts was unroofed. Six to seven hundred bushels of the stock were badly damaged by water which poured through the roof.

The roof of the Cape Fear Tobacco Works was blown eff but fortunately the I damage done by the water was confined to a small lot of leaf tobacco. The manufactured stock was not injured in the least and the loss will be to the building. A new roof it is thought will cost four or five hundred dollars. TELEGRAPH AND TELEPHONE. The telegraph and telephone wires were blown down in all directions, and commu nication by wire with the world outside was entirely severed by noon.

Between thia city and Abbottaburg, on the Carolina Central Railroad, it was estimated by persons arriving on the, afternoon train that for fifteen or twenty miles along the line of the road all the telegraph poles and wires were blown- down. The damage on the lines North is reported equally bad. The management at the office in this city sent niwrttnr In flnMihnrn nn thn fi 40 P. lh.l tiarl nnmil I laledin the office here, and with instruc-S tions to return on the first down train with dispatches for this place. It is thought that it will take several days to repair damages.

Nyce. The building, foot of Ches-cult to describe. Standing in a store on" nutstreet, had its tin roof partially blown the west side of Front street, whieh was and the offices on the first somewhat protected from tho storm, we were witness to a sight which was both grand and awful in the extreme. Barrels and even large goods boxes were carried through the streets with fearful velocity; a number of chaiis which had been left on the balcony of the Purcell Mouse were ilUllQU lUlv ill Dklbbl auu aawa waaw distance: boards, shutters and shingles were flying through the air, while the shrill whistle of the wind, the crashing of glass, and the clatter of innumerable blinds filled the air with sounds of the most startling character. The DAMAGE BY THE SECOND GALE was much more severe, especially along the wharf, where it had full scope.

The tin roof of Messrs. Aaron Rheinstein's store was blown off during this gale and the up per portions of the store were flooded, the goods being damaged to an extent rauging from $3,000 to $5,000. But for the prompt measures taken by proprietors and clerks the injury would have been much more severe. The frame work of a new dwelling i.
