The crew is now in Edenton awaiting
for the barge to be lifted.

THE STORM.
Reports from various places along the
coast make the storm of baturdav the
most terrific and distructive witnessed
for many years. Parties arriving from
Nag's Head give a most exciting account
of the spectacle occasioned at that point
and recount the scenes along both the
Sea and Sound beach in a manner that
gives evidence of an experience almost
appaulmg. Houses were
shaken
until they rocked to and fro like a era

flooding the main avenues and filling
the houses so as almost to float the
furniture on tne nrst noor or some oil
the dwellings. Excitement reigned
supreme, ctout nearrs oi strong men
were made to quake with fear while the
women were heard in shrieks of dreadful
apprehension. Quite a number of peo
ple, filled, with excitement amounting
almost to consternation, have left the
Head and many more are expected to
leave as soon as means for transportation
are furnished them.
We are sorry to record this almost
unheard of and very nigh tragical oc
curence let its publication shall injure
Nag's Head as a Summer resort but, the
fact that the storm was general an:l
disaster not specially confined but was
(as indicated by reports coming from
every quarter) general in its character
we apprehe d that the news w i 1 be r- -garded,
in the natural light, as one of
those visitations, so to speak, from
which no place is entirely exempt and
to which Nag's Head is not any more
subject than are the rest of the popular
resorts along our Southern coast.
IN EDENTON.
If it was not a tidal-wave, it was
something very.much like arise in the
waters of Albemarle Sound that struck
; Edenton last Friday. Some of the hous-
es near ine oay snore were almost bud
merged. Portions of Water street were
under cover of water, and a canoe
almost was a necessary adjunct to travel.
Albemarle Enquirer.
False as falsity itself, and only worthy
the editor of theEnquirer who delights
only in sensation and feeds upon excite
ment. TROUBLE IS EXPECTED.
Greensboro. N. C . August 24. A
negro man, named Horton. assaulted
Miss Sapp, a beautiful young lady, at
Kennersville, about fifteen miles from
this city yesterday. He was arresred
and taken to jail at that place, but the
tnreats or tne moo made it necessary to
remove him to this city, and he is now
in jail here. Trouble is expected,
SLANDER.
The editor of the Enquirer does not
profess to be a judjre of horses or co-s
or ani nals in general, but a day or two
ago he saw the tluCtsi Durham cow that
he has laid eyes upon recently. Mr.
Andre 'V J. Batewan, our wrunesouled
and hospitable fellow citizen h;isa Dur
ham cjw, two years old, witli a fine
little cult a few weeks old th.it appears
to us to be an improvement on luucu of
the stock tbat we see iu and around
Edenton. The cow is gentle, kind and
can furnish in a day as much milk as
one preacher in our town can use for his
milk punches in a week. Albemarle

and whose lives brand as false and slaud
rous anything, from any source, reflec

men. three colored ministers stationed
uere, Revs. W. S. Windfield, J. A. Gar
ris, II. H. Whedbee, whose exemplary
conduct has won for them the respect oi
the entire people and whose own self

the author of the above article as un

Ve demand, in behalf of an outraged
community, that the Enquirer call the
name of the ''preacher.
When first he came among us, eight
.-ears ago, L. Levy considered himself
compelled to occupy a store which, from
its retired situation, he called country.
After, when opportunity offered, he
moved to the Rosenthall store when he
thought himself in town. Now, con
trolled by business interests, he firm
moves again, and. this time, to the
large and spacious building formerly
occupied bv Messrs. bkmner and rar.
