SEVERE sroRn.-By tho New OncaAs

verest storms occurred in that city on
Friday and Saturday, the 9TH and 9th

many years. The amount Of property
destroyedls supposed to be very great,
Several houses were blown down en-
trely, and others sustained considcra-
bic injury. 1t is said the destruction
OF property in the neighborhood of
the Lake u lar greater than that in

sustained by the shipping in the har-

EXCELLENT ADVICE.

The more quietly and peaceably we get
on, the better for ourselves, and the better
Cor our nelghbars. In niue cases out OF ten,
the w,sest policy is, If any one cheats you,
To quit dealing with him; IT he Is abusive,
TO quit hls company ; II he ISLANDERS you, take
care 30 TO live us that nobody will believe
bun; no matter who he is, or how he mis-
uses you. the aisest and best way is, gen.
orally, lust to let hun alone. There is
nothing better than this cool, calm, quiet
way, Of dealing with the wrongs We meet.

the destruction of property along the
Kanawha and Elk Rivers, is beyond all
calculation.
The rain commenced falling here on
the evening of Sunday, the 18th inst.
and continued very steadily until Mon
day evening; and by Tuesday NOR
ming. the River had risen so rapidly;
that il was with great difficulty that
some ofour citizens could remove from
their houses on the river bank before
they were completely inundated.
The settlement on Elk River, from
its mouth TO the steam mill of Mr.. Ruff
ner, was entirely overiown, and pre-
sented to our view spectacle the most
distressing. 1t was with great diff
Guilty, that some ofthe inhabitants could
leave their houses in time to save
themselves and their property from
destruction. We passed along in a
small boat, by the second story win
dows Of many houses, which, but the
day before, must have stood at least
twenty feet above the surface of the
river. All the brick-yar inthe rear
Of our town, which, had recently been
put in operation, and which had in
them large quantities of brick ready
for the kiln, were completely destroy
ed. All the brickmakers suffered Sc
we're loss; but the principal loss was
sustained by Messrs. William d. Norris
Whitteker, who had just put into sue
cessful operation, Reeds Patent Brick
Machine, and had gone TO considera.
bic expense in building large drying
| house.
We are informed that the Kanowha
Salt Company lost several thousand
dollars worth Of salt, which lay in
boats at the several furnaces, ready to
90 out by the first rise. We learn,
however, that some Of the boats were
caught and secured. after they had
gone some distance down the river.
Bot that part of the suffering com.
munity to which our sympathy is more
particularly due, are those residing
for some distance up the Elk River
We have had no very particular ac-
|
been informed by good authority that
there is scarcely man residing on or
near the River, who did not partake
of the general distress occasioned by
this dreadful yisitation-happening as
ii did, at a season when those engaged
in building salt boats, and shipping TO
our market their regular supplies OF
lumber ofvarious kind, had large guam
titles in or near the River, ready TO be
floated out by the first rise. Thus
had they swept away from them the
precious earnings of many hard days
Intoxicating many with but scaniy
means of satisfying the wants of their
families. We are further informed,
that there is scarcely a mill on Elk
River that was not carried off.-hd.

banks, and with any other influence
which can aiG in that object.
In the meantime, two great duties
deyove on the banks Of the country.
The first regards foreign nations
the second our own. We owe debt
to foreigners, by no means large ior
our resources, but disappointment to
our present means Of payment. we
must take care that this late measure
shall not seem to be an effort to AVOID
the payment Of our honest debts 10
them. We have worn and eaten ana
drunk the produce of their industry
too much Of all, perhaps, that IS our
fault not theirs. We must take less
hereafter, but the country is dishonored
unless we discharge that debt to the
uttermost farthing.
The second duty is to ourselves
We should bear constantly in mind that
the step which has been taken is excu-
sable only on the ground Of an over
ruling necessity. We must not make
the remedy itself disease. 1t must
not be the prNcxt Of extrayagant loans
or issues. These are already sufficient
" inflated, and if we have voluntarily
removed tho most familiar and estab-
lished check upon all issues--their nm
mediate conveftabiiity into coIr--it IS
our duty to substitute some eifectual
restraints which may enable us to re-
store the currency without delay or
difficulty to safe and wholesome con.
di,lon. The result of the whole is,
that great disaster has bcfallen the
country. Its existence thus far IS only
misfortune,-it continuance will be Il
reproach, from which all true men
must rally to save her. We must try
to render it as short as possible, wait
ing patiently and calmly for the action
of the Government, and in the mean
time diminishing its dangers by great
prudence and torbearance. For my
self you know how zealously have

ded in the affirmative, by vote of l30
