the conquorer set up to rule in the
land. Our riches are perhaps moi SO
great as those of the North, but be-
fore these things shall be we will at
least teach her how strong are our
arms and how keen in our hands is
the edge of the sword, and though
deserted and betrayed we will at last
be true to ourselves
'rTrue to the last of our blood and our breath,
And like reapers descend to the harvest ofdeath"

GREAT Storm AND DESTRUCTION
IN THE Conn CRop.- On Saturday
last we were visited by storm of
wind and rain which continued with
great violence for the space of ID
hours, causing much obstruction to
the growing corn throughout this.
and as far as we have been able to
learn, the adjoining districts. AS far
as our information extends north
ward, the storm ragged with increas-
ing violence, and in Cashiers and
the adjoining Vallies in N. G. the
buck wheat and corn have suffered
much.
The rivers and creeks in this yicin-
ity rose on the 24th to an almost un.
precedented heighth, flooding the
lowlands and sweeping away almost
all the bridges on the smaller streams.

MIR. JEREMIAH SADDLEBAGs' jour
NEY no THE GoED MINEs.-Our
thanks are due to some humorous
friend for alcopy of this laughter pro-
lyoking gallery of comicalities. No
one could examine this book and not
pronounce Mr.. Saddlebags an ill-used
gentleman, indeed many Of his I'M
lucky adventures and hair-breadth
escapes remind us forcibly of a jour
Iney we made a shoit time since TO
the mountains of N. G. when we lost
our saddle6dgs.

some unknown friend for a basket OF
most delicious peaches; such fayors
are received at this office with deep
and profound satisfaction, and we
take this occasion to say to all those
who may be disposed to "go and do
likewise that they have our full
permission. .as.4T ~ rs
Mr. EDiToR. Will you inform
her friends and the public through the
columns ofyour paper, ifMiss Clana-
ham, lunitic sesa to the Poor House
some weeks since, has beenremoyed
to the ASYLUM, and if not, whyl
f A TAX PAYER.
Since the receipt of the above com
munjoation we have made inquiry as
to the whereabouts of the unfortu.
nate young woman in question, and
learn, from undoubted authority, that
she is still confined in the Poor House,
Why she has not been sent te the
ASYLUM we are unable to say. The
Commissioners of the Poor may be
prepared, for aught we know, TO give
satisfactory reasons for this apparent
neglect of duty. Their attention is
most respectfully called to the mat
ter as we hear much complaint from
various quarters.
