Tremendous Storm.

On Saturday night last, We we're visited
hv one of the severest storms OF wind We
ever experienced, and from what we can
learn i, has been very general. We did not
have much rain, bu, in other quarters the
rain fell in torrents, so much so that the Ca
tawba river, and nearly every creek was
swollen TO a tremendous height. A gentle
man who saw the river on Sunday morning
informed u that he never beheld such aslght
in his life-the whole expanse OF water was
covered with RATS Of floating timber, water
melons, &c. The river was about ten fee'
higher than usual. The amount OF damage
10 the corn in bottom lands must be very ex
tensive, and the destruction TO timber mus
also be very great. Most Of the corn II
Frustrated and from appearances the fOdde
will not be hardly worth gathering. In som'
locations the storm seemed TO be severe
than in o,hers, but we rejoice we have hear
Of no damage to individuals.
