The Extent of tlic Late Storm In
tlie South Atlantic and tlie Gulf
States.
The hurricane was reported at Wash-
ington as raging in Cuba and approach-
ing Key West Monday night of last
week, and the Signal Office reported
Tuesday's Probabilities: For the South
Atlantic and Gulf States, partly cloudy
weather, northeast to southeast winds,
with falling barometer, and rains on
and near the South Atlantic and Gulf
coasts, especially in the Southwest,
where high winds are probable.
Tuesday morning a dispatch from
Washington ordered up the storm flag
over the -Mobile station, which had
been showing symptoms of disturbance
for two or three days past. The weather
sergeant on duty at Mobile also re-
ceived dispatches from Key West ad-
vising that a hurricane was blowing
there and traveling in a northerly di-
rection. At Mobile on Tuesday mer-
chants on the river front were raising
their goods a'<ove high water mark.
At the Southwest Pass on Tuesday
the wind was east northeast, blowing
hard. Weather thick and cloudy. No
arrivals or departures.
At New Orleans on Wednesday
morning a strong gale, and advices
from the Lower Coast stated that at
the Passes and for several miles up the
river the wind blew a heavy gale on
Tuesday, and that the water from the
lower country had been blown over
several rice plantations to the depth of
more than three feet in many places.
It was also blowing heavily above the
city. The river in front of New Or-
leans was greatly agitated, and the lit-
tle steamer Frank Morgan was cap-
sized and sunk, all hands escaping.
The wind continued high and the
water in the lake to rise during
Wednesdav night.

CYCLONES.
The last forty years have done much
toward developing the usual course
and characteristics of cyclones, or ro-
tary storms, and to lessen the danger
by foretelling their approach, or pro-
bable approach, in many places. Ac-
cording to the latest authorities on the
general topic of cyclones, a person oc-
cupying a position toward which one
is approaching, may observe a peculiar
haziness in the atmosphere, a cessation
of the usual trade winds, a lassitude in
the air, and an ominous stillness. Then
follow the slow fall of the barometer,
light breezes, increasing into high
winds, and the obscuration of the sky
by uniform clouds. In the course of
twenty-four hours the storm has usual-
ly attaiued something like its greatest
severity, though the time varies; a tre-
mendous rainfall follows with a deaf-
ening roar, violent gusts of wind, be-
fore which trees, houses, and other ob-
jects, are prostrated. The highest
speed ever actually marked in a hurri-
cane,* -was 130 miles an hour on the
British coast. In the hurricane of
1871 the United States Signal officers
recorded a velocity of eighty-live miles
in the wind on the coast of Florida.
These storms, on this hemisphere, start
on the equator and move with a circu-
lar motion toward the north, being,
in fact, vast whirlwinds moving from
the tropics, and varying in width from
a hundred to a thousand miles, while
there is an almost complete calm in
their centers, sometimes thirty miles
in extent, and increasing in dimen-
sions as the storm moves northward.
The barometer falls lowest at the
center of the storm, where the depres-
sion is sometimes two or three inches.
The barometer begins to fall while the
cyclone is still from one hundred to
four hundred miles distant, and falls
steadily as the tempest approaches.
The waves produced by cyclones are
the most formidable known to naviga-
tors. They form in advance of the ap-
proaching storm center, and become
cross seas by the changes in the direc-
tion of the wind and the reflection of
the waves from the shore, and the
smaller waves thrown off outrun the
wind and are propagated beyond its
limits. There is also a cyclone wave
or elevation of the water, co-extensive
with the area of low barometer, which
is estimated to rise a foot for each
inch of barometric depression, without
regard to the cffect of the wind.
But a small portion of the West In-
dia cyclones reach the.limits of Texas.
Poey gives a list of 133 hurricanes in
the Atlantic between 1493 and 1855.
Since the year 1700 about twenty-five
hurricanes are known to have passed
the coast of Georgia and South Caro-
lina, which is the section of the United
States most frequented by them.
These notes refer to cyclones origi-
nating on the equator. Modern ob-
servers say that another class originate
on the western portion of the Gulf of
Mexico, after some of the northers, and
take direction toward the north; bat
these are not regarded as frequent or
formidable.
Notwithstanding all the investiga-
tions of the last forty years, much is
yet in doubt in regard to the phenom-
ena of these great storms, and their
alleged complications with the move-
ments of the planets and the time of
the year. They are not wholly con-
fined to the fall or spring, but have
occurred during all the months. Of
335 hurricanes recorded, there were
five in January, seven in February,
eleven in March, six in April, five
in May, ten in June, forty-two
in July, ninety-six in August, eighty
in September, sixty-nine in Octo-
ber, seventeen in November, and
seven in December. The connection
between hurricanes and solar spots is
among the most interesting of modern
investigations on the subject. It is
held by many that when spots on the
sun are most numerous cyclones are
most frequent and severe.
Mr. W. C. Raymond, the Vice Pres
ident of the New Orleans Chamber of
Commerce, has callcd a special meet-
ing of that body, for the purpose of
receiving the report of the Committee
on Sugar Tares. It seems certain that
some change will be made in the mat-

yellow fever items.
New York, Sept. 15.—The Nor-
wegian bark Fackner is here in dis-
tress. All the crew but a man and
boy are down with fever. She left
Willinington, North Carolina, ten days
ago for Rotterdam. When two days
out the fever appeared.
On the authority of the Board of
Health the Mobile Register is enabled
to state that Mobile continues to be
entirely free of yellow fever. Our
careful observations and inquiries fully
confirm the ofiicial statement.
Pensacola is complaining because
they quarantine vessels with sickness
on board until frost, whereas other
ports allow them to come up to the
wharves after disinfecting, and dis-
charge and receive return cargoes.
The Pensacola Gazette says: Our
latest intelligence as to the fever at
"Powell's" is that three more deaths
are added to the mortality, making
fourteen in all.
The Powell settlement (a settlement
of fishermen) is not on Pensacola Bay,
but is near the mouths of Yellow and
Blackwater rivers, on shore of Ward's
Basin, a part of Blackwater Bay, about
six miles south of Milton, and two
miles east of Pearse's Point.
The Pascagoula Star of the 11th an
nounccs the re-appearance of yellow
fever at that place. It mentions nine
deaths, and reports sixty cases. The
disease is said to be of a very malig-
nant character.

t1ie cotton crop.
Washington, Sept. 18.—The statis-
tician of the Department of Agricul
ture furnishes the following statement
in reply to a private communication,
that doubts had been expressed as to
the correctness of several statements
in the cotton report from that depart
rnent, published on the 10th instant
The cotton figures are right, but the
favorable comparison of conditions in
Mississippi, Louisiana and Arkansas is
with September of last year, and not
with August. The figures of South
Carolina, Georgia and Florida are
slightly less than last year, and those
for all States west of the Atlantic are
greater.
The department averages of the twr
seasons are as follows: 1875—North

Omaha, Sept. 17.—The Democratic
State Convention is the largest ever
held. The financial plank is, that we
are in favor of a sound currency, coin
or its equivalent, as essential to stabil-
ity in business and the restoration of
prosperity. Steps toward specie pay-
ment and no step backward. That we
deprecate all attempts to commit the
Democratic party to a system of paper
money based upon the unconstitu-

Constantinople, Sept. 15.—The
Ilerzegovinians now appear willing to

The latest encounters terminated in
favor of the Turks.
The report of the siege of Trebigne
being renewed is unfounded. The in-
surgents infest the neighboring woods,
but are not able to blockade the town.
London, Sept. 14.—The Times pub-
lishes a telegram from Vienna which
contains the following: However
contradictory accounts may be of the
recent skirmishes, two facts are indu-
bitable. First, that the Turks travelsj
the country in every direction. Their
object is to open communications and
relieve and strengthen the more exposed
military positions in the southwest.
This has been thoroughly done. The
road to Bilck and Trebigne, and from
the latter to the Austrian frontier, and
down to the Suttorina has been opened
and the block houses repaired and gar-
risoned. Of course the difficult work
remains of dislodging from their moun-
tain strongholds, but the approaching
winter will soon make those positions
untenable. As for hopes of assistance
they become daily fainter. Circum-
stances seem to favor the mission of
peace of the Consular Commission.
_ Servia.
Kragejuwats, Sept. 15.—The Com-
mittee of the Skoupchtina on an ad-
dress in reply to Prince Milan's speech,
is divided in opinion. The majority
wish to leave the question of peace or
war to the wisdom of the government.
A strong minority propose simply to
call on the government to declare war.
Probably two addresses will be sub-
mitted to the Skoupchtina.
Vienna, Sept. 15.—Servia com-
plains to the powers of the concentra-
tion of the Turkish army at Missa.
The reply of the committee of the
Servian Skuptchina to Prince Milan's
address will make no demand for war,
but will contain strong censures on the
Turkish rule.
Peter Daragorgiewitch, a pretender
to the Servian throne, is about to
march into Servia with a corps of vol-
unteers. His adherents there contem-
plate a revolution in his favor.
Louisiana.
The New Orleans Times of Sunday
has details of the work of the storm in
the region accessible by telegraph in
Louisiana. It commenced blowing
hardest on Friday night in New Or-
leans. Fences, trees, awnings and
signs were blown down, and violent
damage effected upon many dwelling
houses.
No loss of life or serious injury to
any person resulted.
Up to Friday the immediate lake
coast was slightly inundated, and it
was feared that if the northeast wind,
then prevailing, continued, the floods
would work serious harm. On Friday
evening, however, the wind got
around to the southwest, and the wa-
ters were driven back into the lake,
At Brashear tin wind had veered
around to the northwest, with frequent
squalls, during the night, but without
any serious damage.
The water in Lake Charles rose 3-16
of an inch during Friday night, and
was rising at noon on Saturday, at
which time it was higher than had
been known for years.
At Lyons, eighteen miles west
the enti"e country was flooded to a
depth of three feet with water from
Calcasieu, and was then five feet above
the highest water of 1867.
Nothing yet has been learned as to
the extent of the damage done the
growing crops along the track of the
storm, but it is feared that in some
sections the second crop of rice has
been injured, and that the cane was
prostrated by the liealy gale.
Cortlnn.
The Two Republics, of the City of
Mexico, has the following to say of
this famous bandit:
It is going the rounds of the Ameri-
can papers that Cortina is in this capi
tal "enjoying the limits of the city,"
and that this noted individual may at
any time be expected on the Rio
Grande, where he will make things
lively. We must state that the gene-
ral is closely guarded in a prison, and
not likely soon to be on the American
border, at least not until he has had a
trial—for what we can not say. Some
believe that the only charge that will
be brought against the doughty gene-
ral is one of "insubordination"—dis-
obedience of the order to repair to
this capital.
We refer to this as a matter of
news, for we shall more rigidly adhere
to our policy of non-interference in
the domestic affairs of Mexico in this
case, lest our views and just strictures
might be set down as in malice or from
American prejudice, and because while
we spoke freely of Cortina wlrtn he
was at large, a natural courtesy which
we have always observed in regard to
prisoners, will influence us to be silent
now that he is in the hands of the
officers of the law, and his case is to
be adjudicated in the courts of his
country.
It is difficult to believe that the only
offense for which the General can and
will be tried is insubordination. There
are many other complications, in our
opinion, cocnectcd with his arrest,
There are many violations against the
civil code which, committed by mili
tary officers, they are amenable for un
der military law. Robberies, assassin
ations, violations of the comity and
peace of nations by their Iroops, either
with or without their connivance, or
upon charges of such offenses against
themselves. Courtsmartial have juris-
diction over such subjects; and it
seems that Cortina appreciates this
fact and apprehends something more
serious than a trial for insubordination.
His friends are attempting to organize
sustaining influences outside of the
courts in his favor by newspaper de-
fenses, and it also would appear that
his councilors well understand the
usual resort of parties on the defense,
by attempts to change the issue.
The Sufragio a short time ago con-
tained a long article of strictures upon
Gen. Andres Trevino, and again, the
Monitor of the 24th ult. publishes an-
other article, over the signature of
Gen. Cortina, of the same personal
character, evidently with the view of
changing the issue and to draw atten-
tion from the main question, and a
lame attempt is made to create a preju-
dice of race; but in no part does the
article meet any issue that is likely to
be made in the court before which he
will be tried.

Illinois Grange*.
The Granges of Patrons of Husband-
ry in Illinois are now almost univer-
sally adopting the following resolu-
tions :
Resolved, That we disapprove and
earnestly condemn the course of the
National Grange at its last meeting at
Charleston, South Carolina, so far as
it relates to the adoption of a resolu-
tion recommending Congress to grant
government aid to the Texas Pacific
Railroad; that action on its part is in
violation of the fifth section of our
National Declaration of Principles,
and unwise, tending to foster corru p-
tion and monopolies, upon which the
Order had set its seal of condemna-
tion.
Resolved, That we disapprove the
action of the National Grange in re-
fusing to lower in amount the fees
and dues, as a large fund is accumu-
lating in the treasury of the National
Grange, and for what object we are
not permitted to know.
A disagreeable reptile, known in
Turkish as the calcale, has lately made
its appearance in the cotton planta-
tions in the Thracian Chersonesus.
The calcale is a species of worm repre-
sented as being especially fond of the
cotton and the melon plant. The vil-
lages on the European coast of the
Hellespont produce large quantities of
cotton for exportation, and the ap-
pearance of the calcale in their planta-
tions is therefore looked upon as a
real disaster.
