(From the C harleston Courier of August 14.)
Extract of a letter, dated August 8, from a gentleman re-
siding near Darien, Gco.—'• I could, a few days ago, have
given you very favourable accounts, from this'quarter, of the
Rice and Cotton crops ; but alas I it is quite the reverse now.
On the 6th, we experienced the most severe gale since 1824.
The Cotton crops on the high lands have been whipped to
pieces. On
this place ( Island) the Cotton crop will be totally lost;
and Rice has been four feet under salt water. I have done all

that could be done by washing, but will not make half a crop.
Fortunately, not much damage sustained in buildings, no lives
lost, or persons injured."

DISCONNECTION OF BANK AND STATE.—WC see the
Democratic Presses, with very few exceptions, throughout
the country, zealously advocating the separation of the
finances of the Government from banking institutions. We
ids° find resolutions to the same effect, adopted at Demo-
cratic mec tings in all parts of the country. The address
of the Albany Republican Committee, which has been the
subject of comment throughout the country, advocates this
proposition clearly and strongly.
At the Democratic convention in Washington county,
New York, the following resolution, among others, alike in
tone and spirit, was unanimously adopted :
" Resolved, That we look forward to the day with cheer-
ing hopes, when the finances of the Government will be en-
tirely and for ever separated front all banks and banking
institutions ; that we wholly repudiate the idea, that the
fiscal operations of the Government cannot be effected
v'it.hout the aid of such irresponsible instruments ; that we
bdieve that the word has gone forth which will not return
until an irreversible decree of divorce between the Treasury
and these public depositories shall be pronounced by the
•
p :ogle."
Resolutions, similar in tone and character have been
adopted at democratic meetings in all parts of the country.
In our minds, there ca❑ be little doubt, that a vast ma-
