ries upon those streams have shared the
same fate.
The factories of Mr.. Crozen, of Mr.
Dickson, and Of Mr.. Riddle, and others
have been swept away. Immense num-
bers of bales of cotton, boxes of goods,
barrels of dyewoods and flour, have been
carried down to the Delaware, or scattered
n the meadows into which the flood in its
4lry, broke and deposited its spoil. 1t is
lieved that all the dams are gone. The
pecunary loss to individuals is frightlully
great; and thatwhich has fallen upon the
county is estimated at $3.50, 00U-but this
is made up, to great extent, upon con-
lecture. The county will probably be
constrained to raise, by loan, the means
demonstrating her bridges, as all inter.
course between the different sections of
the country is now cut off.
But the loss of property, terrible as it
is, is inconsiderable to the loss of life
with which this affection of Providence
has been attended. 1t is believed that
no less than 20, and probably as many
more, persons have been drowned. At
one place on the Chester creek, an entire
family, that of Mr.. Rhoades, consisting of
himself, wife and two small children, found
It impossible, so instantaneous was the

ny Argus, after collecting various instances of the
difference Of the weather in different parts of the
Union, in regard to dryness ana moisture, remarks
sensiby:
according to the usual laws of nature,
it is impossible for drought to pervade
our whole country. Neither can we ever
have famine so long as the cultivation
of the soil is attended 20. Local and par
.ial scarcity may prevail, but what is the
loss Of one section, is frequently the gain
of some more fortunate section. When
the north is parched with drought, the
west or south is rejoicing in lertiIizing
rains. When the summer is cool in New
York and New England, il is frequently
the warmer and more genial in Michigan,
Wisconsin or Ohio; and even drought
which would burn all vegetation 10 a crisp

energies Of the black muck of the Yves

new and virgin soil is comparatively more
Independents of the dew and rains of hea-

This is the chief reason why the great
west presents so inviting field to the
thrifty, calculating and industrious farmer.
He can place more reliance upon the in
trnslc qualities Of the soil, and upon his
|own exertions, and is less dependent for
la return, upon the uncertain events of rain
land sun. We have known wheat rpen
