Tho Charleston Newa ami Courier gives tho followiug account of this dreadful visitation: Tho gale of 1871 was short, ;-!i irp anil decisive. Four or iivo hours was the extent of its duration, but in that space of tuna u vast amount of damage was done to property iu the city. As has been already stated, ttio gale was succeeded by bright und pleasant weather ou Monday night, und yester? day tbo wuter un the harbor was as smooth us glass. Not a ripple could he seen iu tho hay, und tho only visi? ble evidences of the storm of thu pre? vious day were to bo scon in the shuttered wharves, the tuiiMH of drif wood and sea weed, and the sunken and disabled craft lying at the various piers. The water front was visited during tho day by thousands of spec? tators, eager to view the wreck, and judge for themselves tbe ? xlout of the damage. Ti.kiug the wharves, from the North-eastern Railroad to South Battery, a sad sight was presented. Tho destruction of property is oertuiu ly greuter th iu at tltst thought. S/uioe ly u single wharf escaped, nil being mote or ie.-s torn up. and many of them being entirely washed away. Accommodation Wham?.?At this wharf the damage is very great. Tbe ofli-je immediately facing the dock is completely demolished iu its upper Story by collision with the bark which was du veil into it by the lore - id tho waves, iu this dock are two or three small boat*, broken up and sunk. Atlantic Wiiaiif.?At North Atlan? tic whart, quite u crowd ul persons i gathered to witness tho efforts to tow off tho British bark Belgium, whmli had beeu rather roughly handled by the elements. Tb? Belgium was blown from her moorings at the heud oi the pier entirely up thu dock, ami was jammed diagonally across tlie dock, her stem being Used close up to tho South? ern pier, und her stem jammed close into the Northern pier. Iu this awk? ward position she was left by the tide, and yesterday morning it was found necessary to procure the servie.es ul two tugs to drag her out. The tugs Belief nud Thomas Morgan Were ne uordiugly employed, uuil at ubbtit '.) o'clock began the dillionlt j >b. Several hours were spent, und numberless hawsers broken iu the attempt. At length, ut about 11 o'clock, the bark beguti to move, aud was soon moored in her former position at the pier. Th-: wharf itself was seriously damaged iu the gale, many of tho planks boiug washed away, but a force of bauds wore% at once put to work, und will soon repair the damages. Van?eiuiohbt and U^mmbkcial WnABVBS.?At those piers occurred one of tbe Htr'augest freaks of tue gale. As wus stated yesterday, a large and pou deroUB lighter/ loaded With phosphate rock, parted;its fastenings, und was left at the meroy of tbe angry wuvei. The hugo m.aChjne was pitched and tossed about for 'some lime, crushing into several sloops. nud sinking them, and was finally thrown up on the two piers, one end resting mi each wharf, und tho flat forming a bridge acrost. the dock. It was still in this, position yesterday, and was seen by hundreds of curious spectator*. The wharves iu the vicinity were literally covered with drift wood and all kinds of strange: sea weed, thrown up by the storm, and* heaped in inextricable oonfusion. The wbnrves to the South of this were iu little butter order. A quantity of fire it/odd bad been scattered by the waves, but was being rapidly collected and saaj i in ul. i i i ?j?w-==>-' V .li-'-: piled tip bj the owners. Alt day long .kUo wharves were vir?ted by orowda af thrifty colored persons, who we're in dustrioaBly.'eoglged in collecting and carrying oft\\mJgFtflj wood thrown up by the gate,. dud many of tbem quo ceoled in; Iajiug iu euough lire w^od to last?

Tue Bathing Mouse ?Nothing re mums of tbo batbiug house savo n rickety, crumbling ruin, and the stumps of thu posts up in widen it was built. Over two-thirds of tho building was carried away iu tho storm, and the remaining pnrtiou ha-, fallen out of po? sition, aud lies heaped up ou the half sunken foundations. A tolerably atiff breeze, or a strong tide, will carry away the last vestige of this favorite resort. It is hard to estimate the )o3s sustained by the city iu tho destruction of Eist Bittery, but it will hardly cost less than $2'J,U00 to $25.ODO to restore it. The lo.-s to Mr. MoMaiitUOii, the owner of the bathing house, is purti ouhirly severe, us he had just spent a large sum of money iu putting repairs upou it. It is not likely soon to be re? built; so that landmark of Charleston may be considered as gone. What ac? tion the City Council will take towards rebmldiug the Battery is not yet known; but the hope is generally ex? pressed that tho work will be com? menced at once. During the eutiie day the ruins were crowded iv.tu cu? rious people?men, women and chil? dren?gazing at tin? terrible work ol I the storm, and wondering how it all could liave happened.

The storm in Snmmerville was re? markable rather for the amount of raiulall than the severity of the wind, though the hitter was tiy no means a gentle z.tphyr.

The famous three bridges of Piko Hole were oveill ?weil, with some little da? mage to the under works of the new one at the West end.
