SEVERE STORM IN LOUISIANA


We learn from the louisiana Gazette Of the
18th Of September, that severe storm com
menced at Baton Rouge on Thursday, the l4th
Of September, and still continued on the Sun
day following. On Saturday night the storm
was extremely violent, prostrating trees in
every direction. The rain fell 10 torrents.
The slaves we're compelled to fly from their
cabins 70 save their lives, as the roofs were torn
OF BY the wind. One planter had visited hi.
Cotton field, and saw sufficient Of the destruc-
ton 20 satisfy him that the hopes ofthe planter,
20 that vicinity, Of making any thing like hal
crop, were at an end, at least this was hi,
situation, as he found his cotton torn up by the
roots and leFelled with the earth, This plan
ter had not seen a neighbour since the storm
commenced, as no one dared 10 venture out
from the continual falling Of the trees.
A letter received ia New-Orleans from Z
respectable gentleman on the Arcadan Coas
states that the late storm had DESTROYED thirC
OF the sugar crops in that neighbourhood.
There was but little business doing in New
Orleans, il being the season when all the in
habitants leave the city who can afford, or make
Il CONVENIENT to go off in pursuit of pleasure
or TO avoid the epidemics but as New-Or

an early revival Of business was anticipated.
The picking of Cotton had been much re
