600 LIVES LOST. [} R 8KVEN THOUSAND PERSONS TOTALLY DESTITUTE.?GOVERNOR TILLMAN * ISSUES AN APPEAL TO THE ~( CHARITABLE. Many people had thought Hint the returns from the hurricane had come in sufficiently to show that the Urn* of life in South Carolina was not so serious a* was supposed before any point hud been heard from, nnd the ?I people were testing easier. But it alt eeeius to have been a false reckoning, bused upon the reports from nil points beard from. A brief but very startling message oamo 61 ticking into tho Western Union offico last night from a f?i-otF siciion of the Slate ' Which had uot been heard from, and was _ soon alter delivered to Governor Tillman, ^ being the first offic al intelligence to reach him upon his return from Chicago. ^ Upi 11 its receipt, he nctcd promptly, as tho following procUmutiou. issued last night = shows.

The fact that these are poor colored farmers, whose bornes have been ruined and crops destroyed, appeals with peculiar tores to every righi-tlunking person. The general loss in Charleston and elsewhere is great, but other communities cnu take care of tticnisclvoe.

Augusta, Ua., August 31 ?A special to the Chromcle from Beaufort, S. C.t says : Over three hundred and ninety dead bodies have been fouud ou the islands about Beaufort and Port Royal, Over two million dollars worth of properly has been wrecked near the same points. Both of these are the direct resrlt of the severe storm which swept along the Atlantic coast Sunday night. Every one of the fifteen or tweuty islands lying around Port Royal and Beaufort are steeped in sorrow. Columbia, S. C.. Sept. '2?Phosphate Inspector Jones arrived here late tonight from Beaufort by the Governor's orders, llis report shows that previous reports have only guessed at the great loss of life on the islands. Following is a summary of what he SAVM ! ?1 ' ? liiiarvfS OI IIIC COOSaW Company were completely destroyed. So wan the village at Coosaw. There is not a house tn i-iglit. The estimated loss of this company is $160,000. The Farmers' Min!>i.? Company lost $30,000. The Carolina Milling Company $160,000: the Beaufort I' .osphate $30,(KM). The aggregate loss iu my opinion is about $460,000. With a lib- I tl policy adopted by the State and conces-ions granted, the Coo?aw, Farmers and ^ Be mfort companieSjCan resume operations in sixty days if money and labor can be pro- c i itred. There is nothing left of ths custom <] house. The Pacific mines are completely Q 1 nt. The Bra Island Chemical work's loss is $'25,000. My estimate of the leas of life j on the islands adjaceut to Beaufort and not including those near the month of the Savannah river is between one thousand aud ^ totcen hundred, most of whom ore negroes. t< i' te islands arc completely destitute and the a rops have been swept entirely way.

The majority of the sufferers are colored eoplo, living on the islands adjacent to ort Royal and Beaufort, and it is oslimated lat there are 7,000 human beings who will o entirely destitute unless they can obtain ellef. The fact that it was an act of providence bat caused the destruction, should bring eady response from those who did not sufar'from the storm, for the same hand that fllicted, also protected, In response to a call made by Mr. J. A-'uut, Intendant, a publio meeting of the citiens was held in the ocurthouse lest Wedaeslav afternoon at 6 o'clock, to make a cootrilutiou to the sufferers. Rev. Bcnj.

The ocoasion was 6 6 of pleasure and I believe profit to the t chers who attended from the various parts t the State, and I only regret that all teaoh- * s were not present, and especially that # lion was so poorly represented. ( First, we found the city of the Spartans a busy, prosperous and attractive place, i e oity has made rapid progress within the j It few years -, so many public enterprises ( d handsome residences have gone up siooe f r college days, that we could hardly idenj streets and locations. The wonderful J ogress of Spartanburg is doubtless duo to ( e magnanimous spirit of its leading citi- t ns. < We were charmed with Converse College ! id its surroundings. Without fear of con- , ndiction I assert it is tho best arranged < id fitted colleges for young ladies in the ' mth. 1 also believe that its recent loss by ' e was a happy burn, as the new building ( even an improvement on the former one. Spartanburg, with its excellent system of ' -aded and fit'ingschools, with its renowned offord, and its beautiful and attractive jnvcrso College, seems destined to bocome e Athens of 8outh Carolina for education ad refinement. But what can I writo of the teachers and le association! There is an inspiration nd impetus for good derived in these ycar' meetings by the mingling of thoughts and ielings that no teacher can afford to be oprived of. Presidents Carlisle and Wil. >n and Manly aud Lander and Qrier and raighcad and Johnsou and Woodrow at the ead of our higher institutions of learning l South Carolina, and Dr- Charles F. Smith, f Vanderbilt, wore all present and added tuch to the interest of the ocoasion, by lieir experience, councii and enwourageaent. Thcro were about 150 lessor lights who ad come up from seminary, academy, high chool and graded, to this "feast of taberlacle." .Those embraced both sexes, ocupied all the stages of life, from youth, nid'Uciatre, to old men?from blushing 1 ***- ? ..avaova uisuvi, OCOU1UU (Q njoy the occasion and hare gone down to Iteir own homes and charges doubtless riser and better teachers.

The contrast ust have indeed been great to those teach' who bad been poorly paid by unapproving patrons. May God bless those noble 'omen?not for the feast, but for the spirit lanifested thereby. We will long remem r the little company of great men who ith me viewod the beautiful landscape and irgeous sunset behind the mountains from e top of Converse College.

I Fbikhd Stokks : After expreesing our dlff I pointment at your not coming to oar pifr ' I i at El Bethel, I desire to say we were I fully outdone by the ioolement weather. 9 e rein , which fell in torrent* the night & Tore, and until 10 o'clock on the morning tlio picnic, prevented crowds from oeniog, t notwithstanding nil these discouraging jAfl roumstanoee, the meeting was weltattenaed. te constant drissle which lasted almost all ly, drove us into the ohurch buiding which is about as full as it was comfortable. T The enthusiasm seemed perfect, and when 1*2 o'clock the meeting wes called to order, ? ayer offered, and Col. D. P. Duncan was j troduced, a shower of applause greeted 'X m. which was a sure index to the temper ie people were in. The Col. addressed us J r ons and a half hours on ev?.ry phsse of j lliauoe work, giving speoisl prominence iv ..?& te State exchange, showing the benefits in } rgenixation, and the saving to its patrons, i y combining in purchasing. This address ff as replete with wisdom, wit, and good | ound Alliance dootrine, and had n good ffcct on the audienoe, and we trust osrrisd r onviction to the hearts of the few doubting f| 'homasee present, and who listened with agerness. Tbo mild, conservative spirit L. j rhich tho Col. discussed the principles of he order, and the oonvinoing manner and onder tone added power and strength to the rail-chosen words of the fluent speaker. .... ?_i At the oloee the oommiUee on the table pread a repast that would have done justice ' o e much larger orowd, and the Urge imount of good victuals wes soon diseppearng with oan^uoh eeidUgr ?m crowd kept Vom their dinner until 2 o'clock oould muser. All seemed satisfied, aud there wee gathered up of the fragments, several baskets' 'ull. After order was restored brother J. M. 3rowden, editor of the OoUon Plant, was ntroduoed. This speeoh was full of go?d >ommon sense, and commanded the oloss r ttiontion of the audienoe for three quarers of an hour; and we may trutbfolly iay the audienoe must have imbibed new ideas as to tho connection between the Allitnoe and politics. While It was not a politi:al address, the speaker endeavored to s])0W ixactly what the politics of the AIIIoboo^^B. - _ jught to be, so as to aocori with our prinoi- J plos, and many a one of tho /ai'ttyW was seen " to nod asseot, when tho speaker would drive with telling effects the truth as he conoeived it to the hearts of his audienoe. At the 0I080 of this unexcelled address, brother J. C. Otts addressed ua upon the great importance of forming aid degrees in the A1 iaaccs, and gave notice that he ia County organiser and would organixo a lodge whenever desired. This is the Insurance Department of the National order, and affords Bafe, sound insurance to the Brotherhood at very low nates. We hope brother Otts may succeed ia getting ? a goodly number of our Brethren to takt the Aid degree, thus providing something whereby their families may get an insurance on , their lives should thoy die. This is oom-^*_^ meodable, and a man who does not wish leave something tangible, as well as a monu-jM|^^H meet of his love and affooiiou to his love<^^^|^^| ones, it is not very far ahead of the brute. Come brethren, join in. After brother Otts had olosed, Mr. Whit man candidate for the Legislature, being prasent, was called on, and in his usual humorous way, entertained the audience for several minutes. Thus passed away one of the pleasantost days the Alliance and the people ever enjoyed in this community. The social feature of this meeting was grand, every one seemed to vio with eaoh other to make it truly what it was intended to bo, a re-union ot Alliance- , men, their wives and childre^, and their ) *r a-gw?t wmigfi tiirsyvjYigTrT?~ wators, rain and other causes, our joy could v not be moro complete. And now, Mr. Editor, those who failed to be there inissod a sweet association of fraternal joy and gladness, that will not soon be forgotten by those who had the good fortune to be there. Wo were disappointed in not seeing tho band, but suppose fthe river was too high for them to cross; but we can say that as Mr. Gantt, also failed, we have a promue from him that he will oome when wo hope to have a more propituous day.
