] THE SOUTHEASTERN STORM. A Terrific Gale at Charleston ! and Elsewhere. Nundreds of Thousands of Dollars® Worth of Property Destroyed. Incidents of the Hurricane--The Roscue of an Endangored family, At Chnarlestons TFrom the Charleaton (S. C.) Neirsand Conrler, Sept. 2. The long immuunity which Cherloston has an- Joyed from dissstroua galoa was mtorrupted yos- tordsy by n disnster which bos probably do- stroyed ovor & quarter of amillion dollars’ worth of property. On Sunday ovening, at a lato hour, Jt began to blow atiflly in pufts, and to rain, and by doylight the wind had incrensed considerably, blowing from tho onat and southesst. Tho stoamer Dictator, which arrived in tho morning, roported heavy weathor at ses, but tho Captain ¢ failed to obsorvo any indicatlons of tho coming | blow. About half-pnet G or 7 o'clock in the worniug the wind grow stronger, with heavy nqualls and sovero puffs, which croated gouersl apprebiensions, At 8 o'elock 1t was evidont hat THE GALE WAS UTON US. Tho sen was hoaving aud Lossing in the harbor, and tho rapidly oncroaching tido bogan to flood tho wharves and streets, Tho squalls kopt cou- ntuntly incronsing in strength, and tho Masters of voesals in port began to look snxiously to | their mooriugs. At o'clock (lio tido had risen £0 high that it covered all tho wharveson the ! enstorn front of the city, and flooded Lho strects ! to tue depth of sovoial foot. Many of the wharves wero washed up, snd sevoral vosscls partoq from their moorings and were driven on shoro, THD BCLXE FROM TNE WIARVES at this timo was territic. In every diroction drift wood, bales of colton, wrecked bonts, and debris wero being toased nbout: Tho wind, whistiing hrough tho rigging of tho shipping, made melnncholy muste, aud tho bliud- ing rain fatliug in tortents rondered ef- forts to save anything almost uscless. Tho tide roso to a groat height, in wmuny wslances lifting tho flooring from tho plors, and rondoring it oxtremely hazardous for anybody to stand in | tho vicinity. Tho eoa in the harborroled moun- | tain bigh, and tho maves dashied over tho piora | in hugoe rollers. At Accommodation Wharf & ¢ bark was driven from her moorings high up on . the Janding into the whmf ofice of Crmpbel, | Wyllv & Co., but was blown off agnin when the wwind shifted, So grent wna tho forco of tho witd that tho bowsprit of tho vessol entered tho secoud swory of tho building, which wap of brick, and cut it completely in two, mn_akhxg a_clean split. Attho wharf of tho Sullivan’s Island Bteamots, tho waves washied cloan over the weod- ~vark, and tho anxious_ctowd who Lad gathered thara to hoar tidings from frionds on the island were fairly driven Back by tha bhnding rain and | rapidly riomg_waters. East Day and Galhoun stroets wore flooded with water to such a depth asto . FLOAT THE CARS of tho Enterpriae Roilway from the track. the wharven above Market streot wero more or Josn damuged, but thosa holow that point suf- ferod the most. At Vauderhorst wharf, n large 1lat londed with pliosphate rock, intended for ‘tho ship_Dorder Cbiefiain, paried tho fasten- ings, xnd wes blown into’ threo sloops In tno doclt, einking them almost immodiatoly, Tho flat was then lifted by the waves aud thrown transversely across tho dock, making o completo Lridge betwoen the two piers. ‘Tho Uritish batk Deliiste. which hiad lately arrived from Livor- pool, and was anchored in tho stroam, was blown from hor mooriugs, despito two henvy spchors Told by soventy-tive aud forty-fivo foct of iron chain, aod dragged into tho dock botweon Boyce and Atlantic whaif, ‘The wharf on the oxtromo southern limib of jtho castern water-front was complotely washed sway, and the piors immedi- atoly adjoining on the north, at which woro moored the steamors City Poiut and Dictator, vware also badly domsged. The work ot dos struction continued without interruption uutil about hnlf-past 12, when TIX WIND MODERATED for a short time, and then shifted around to the gouth and weet, whou it agnin blew with full forco for sbout an hour, tenting tho state and tin from ths roofs of many buildings, and blowing down treos and fonces in every direction. The change in tho direction of the wind, Lowever, find the effect of turning the tide, andin an Incredible short time tho wators bogan to fall, and people begao to brostho ocasior. As soon as the wind shifted the 12in ceased to fall, and tho streots, which bad up to this time been dangor~ oun to pedestrians on account of the falling shingles, signs, and fonces, wors now crowded with people who had come out to view tho effects of tho storm. THE SCEXE ON TUE DATTERY, whilo the gale was at its beight, was at once publimo aud torriblo, Tho sen-wall promanado | on East Battery, which on Saturday night was thronged withs promenadors, was almost entirely submorged, Tho angry waves dashed over tho stones in hugo billows, and fHoodod tho streot polow, tearing up tho buge flag-stones and washing away the shell road. . On South Battery the destruction wa3 oqually sudden and terrible. Tho water pourod in volumes over the abutment, snd long bofora8 o'clock was fuily 2 feet deep in the lawn of Whito Point Gaidon, Tlhe hoau~ tiful Lattory fs vow u ssono of ruin, and 1t s calenlated that it will take at Icast $20,000 to sopair the damnge douo at this point alope. THE BATHING OUSE. . At 9 o'clock a meeaenger arrived at the main guard-bouse with thio news that tho frail bridge, Joading to tho bathiug-house, had baon swopt away, and that the bathing-houso itself, with its owner and his family, who were iu it, wero in imminent peril. The nows spresd like wildfiro, oud in a short time bundreds of oxcited specta~ tors had sssombled on tho Datlery to eatiefy | thomselves as to the truth_of tho report. Tha | gale at this timo (10 o'clock) was absolutely furl- ous; n torriblo huriicane, hurling huge masson | of water ovor the high battory and rollug bresk- ora breast-high along the south walk, The gar- den was fnlly 4 feet under water, presenting n ploar sheet from East to South Battory, DBut ull eyes were turned from the acono of devastation immediately arouad them to a point of more thrilliog interet, The batbing-houeo, cut off o it was from all communication with the land, was rocking on its foundation, and 1t was at onco noen that every effort must bo made, without Hlelay, to roscuo the unfortunatoinmates. Thewo were Alr. McManmon, his wife and two ohildron, and a young man who oconplud one of the rooms. A DHAVE ATTEMPT. foroms Tho first attempt was mado by n number of rolored fishenmen and policomen, beaded by Mr. . Nott Parker, the stroke-oar of thie Palmetto koot crew.

The hiouss wes jammed, as it had bocn nearly every night of tho four weeks Mr. Jefferson has spont lhoro, aud the audionco was ready to rospond i atantly to the invitations of wit and comedy-ect- ing tho drama held out. The Rivala " was writton at a day whon atars wero not the fashion, and whoro il the parts ap- proximated equality, both in intercst to the audionco and importanco to tho play. But modern adaptors have no coneclonocs, and the " roting édition "—hideous phraso suggestive of paste-pot and shears—havo played havoo with this rare old picce, Wo miss the bright secenes botwoon Julia snd Lydia ZLanguish, and David sud bls comnanions, Of course wo wies a great donl that ought to ba miused, too, but the pruning-koife mighe have heen excrelsed moro discteotly. Even as the picce i loft to us, tho parts are all good, and, so far a4 oan be judged fowm memory, the excisions have not beon cruelly directed toward tho pro- Jeation of the stai's chavactor boyond tho ro- nainder of tho cast, 'Thoy do not muke come- dues like Bherldan's now, as evorybody knows, Ve nover see that perfection of plot, diversity of bumor, drollery of situstion, aud, vove all, that offorvescent, rollicking disloguo in which opigrams fly round liko wparks ffom fine-brand, with the additionol advaotage that the aupply seoma to be 1enowod more abundantly than the oxpanaitute, Such & comedy 1 “ The Rivals,” as {t s survived adantation, With Mr, Jefferson _tho cust, sunportad by # stoak compauy of ordinary merlt, the part whioh e would play mustnocessarily seintillate to tho disporagoment ol othors.

Abolule, though tho Initor suferod consldora- bly from the unnaual apathy or inofMicionoy of oxprosaion of hia faca as the possibilition of dnnger in tho oxpeoted duol woro sugxented to him, tho strugglo to retain his conrage at the sticking polut, and the nnocent bravado In*which boindulged to the vory man with whom ho was to fight, wore inconcoivably ludicrous, becauso thoy wero so natnral. Buch art waa worthy of thocrontor of Jofferson's Rip Van Winkle, Tho Iast net, Lowever, ccowned the sbsurdity. Tho manuer fn which tha valorous Iittlo firo-oater oscilintod botwean the most shameful poltroonory aud the most dotermined courage as tho pros- nocts of a duel appeared moyo or less inovitablo woro kuflicient _to keop the house in ono shriek | of laughtor, Thete was noihing in tho wholo reprosentation of the part that oven bordered on oxtravagauco, Ité humor wias rich to opulotce, but mnover ecarriod to an oxtramo. It wns ono of tho mos: polishied com- oding of tho ago who was playing, and he played to tho highest order of Intell:zonco. ‘Chose who missod it lost nrare treat, sich ng thoy will not soon hava an opportunity again to onjoy. It may ho horo noted that M. Jollersun, trlad by an old test, waa pronounced to be a com- odian, Thero was not o movement to applaud him aftor his ontranco until the fall of tho cor- tain, but thoroe was laughtor enough to Intorrupt tha play from tme to timo, by drowning tho voicen ‘of the actors. It is not likely that Mr, JofToron conld star in such a purt as Bob Acres, ‘I'be dompnds npon tho material of his support nro too oxhausting, and, aftor all, Ripis too good to loso.
