delayed several hours in consequence of the
washing of sand and water over the rails, and
the rain was SO heavy as to cause the sleep

GUS portions of the road. We have heard of
no serious damage thus far to crops or ought
else, save 10 travel, the roads in many places
being impossible. Whites mill-dam washed
away and the several roads in that vicinity
are impossible in consequence of the rise of
water.

Editor Sumter Bunner:
Dear sir, Upper Salem has been visited
by The most tremendous rains that have
fallen here for years. They commenced
on last Monday, and heavy showers fell
occasionally until Tuesday night, when
it appeared that 'the windows OF heaven
opened and, on Wednesday morning
almost the whole surface ofearlh was COW
cred with water.
Large quantities Of corn and cotton
were completely inundated, and some
portion Of crops are lost and others much
injured.

SnmtcrvilIe on this route last Tuesday,
was unable to procure further than Whites

back 10 this place, but his retreat was Gu,

Father Matthew.

There has not been Tor many years more
brilliant and enthusiastic reception than Faith
or Matthew has received in the city of New
York. We see It stated that the whole pop
ulatlon turned out en- mdsse to receive and
welcome him with shouts Of applause, yet we
may ask who is he! As great.a moral con-
queror, nay greater than any hero followed
by train of whole army, for while tho mil
itary cheftain can boast Of battles gained and
thousands slaughtered Father Matthew can
point to many triumphs in which thousands
have been saved-hls victories have been
bloodless, they have cured, not killed, and it
is alike creditable TO the good sense and
sound principles of the population of Now
York that their welcome has been so cordial.
We learn that the Apostle of Temperance
proposes making tho tour of the whole I'm
ion, his reception we have no doubt will be
equally satisfactory every where.
