A letter from Buckingham informs US that the
wind and rain, last Wednesday week, produced
great destruction TO the growing crops Of corn and
tobacco. The water courses were higher than they
have been for many years. The early tobacco has
been greatly injured by "hring," and it is stated
that the crop mus, be both a short, and very in
ferior one.
We hear that the wind and rain were equally dee
siruetve, on the same day, in oihei sections. The
probability lie that their disastrous effects wero *.
pedenced throughout the Eastern portion of the
State, as we'll as the lower part or North Carolina.
