The Rhode Island Republican

The late Gale.—The Richmond Enquirer of the 7th inst. in noticing the effects of the late hurricanes in North Carolina, state, that the mail stage was unable to travel, and two passengers who were in it, were compelled to take a stage horse, each, the driver another, and the mail mounted on a fourth—and still, so seriously was the road obstructed by the fallen trees, that it took them two days to travel thirty miles. Another gentleman, travelling on another road in North Carolina, was eight hours in going eleven miles. We are informed by an intelligent gentleman from Raleigh, that in the direction of Fayetteville nearly one half of the trees are supposed to have been bent or prostrated.

We learn that the gale was very destructive at Georgetown, S. C. where a great many lives were lost and a large amount of property was destroyed.

The Camden Gazette states that the rivers in that vicinity were greatly swollen, the crops materially injured, and the road so obstructed by trees that the stages have not been able to get along, but with the greatest difficulty.
