IMPORTANT SEIzuRrs-FoRTy VESSELS TIED UP.
The Chicago Journal of the lst inst gives the fol
lowing account of numerous seizures Of vessels On.
gagged in tho lumber trade on the upper lakes. The
Journal says:
'The Government, for the past few days, have
done '' Land Office business in this region.
Forty-six vessels engaged in the lumbcr-tradc be-
tween Milwaukee, Chicago and other points upon
this and the other eide OF the lake, have been
seized by the United States officers, most OF which
have been bonded. The officers are now here
awaiting the arrival Of the balance of the fleet.
ut is supposed the vessels engaged simply in the
carrying trade will be released, but such as are
owned by the proprietors of mills located on, "
supplied from land belonging to the Government,
will be forfeited TO II.
1.-Two thousand OF the saw-logs seized short
time since at Grand river, were sold last week
at auction, bringing average ono shilling
each. This sum netts the Government an amount
equal 10 the price for which the land can bc en-
tered.
1.-The most efficient steps have been taken TO
protect the public lands from deprcdations OF this
nature, and we think with very iair prospect OF
success"

ALABAMA.-A Sumter county correspondent,
under date of the 18th ultimo, writes follows:
al have lately of the best prairie farms
in this vicinity, and few sandy farms On the
prairies, wet has prevailed to such extent to
seriously injure the crop and to put il into very
bad condition generally; but on the sandy lands
the prospect looks pretty for cotton except that it
is some two three weeks later than usual OF
corn there will probably be average crop. Oats
have turned out very fine, especially in the prai-
rice. 1t ia thought the dreaded boil worm is making
its appearance"
In another letter, dated the oath instant, the
writer says:
"The weather is now dry, and crops, especially
OF corn, suffering some for rain. Cotton yet
has sustained serious injury, and is improving
fast and regularly. Since the 9th OF May, we have
had scarcely a cloudy or cool day. Constant and
pretty warm sunshine is making the prospect for
cotton good and some now begin IN think tho yield
may be large. A lew days since there were indi-
cations of an attack by worms, but from some
disappeared. For the last three or four days the
weather has not been oppressvely hot, but dry,
warm, and windy, with almost constant sunshine
! am interested in the phenomena OF the weather In
cOnncxion with the worm, and will note every
thing worthy Of attention on the subject"
Mobile Tribune, 3Oth July.
GEoRGIA.-The crops, 50 far as We are able to
learn, are presenting more favorable appearance
than previously reported, the rains being more gen
eral and the seasons suita bic TO rapid growth. In
some sections, however, the complaints arc most
from the summer showers. The crop Of cotton in
Georgia, by all accounts, cannot be near an aver
gc and the corn crop, in come sections, u FAR
from being excellent On the contingencies OF
favorable summer and fall, depend the chances
even for an average crop. augusta republic.

Destructive HURRIcASE IN THE w EST INDIES.
Captain Loring, Of the bark j. w. Blodgct, which
arrived at this port yesterday, from St. Martins,
whence he. sailed on the 10Th utimo, reports that
the island and its vicinity has again been visited by
Of those terrific hurricanes, TO which the West
Indies so subject. For two or three days pre-
vious to the commencement Of the storm, the wca-
Their squally with showers Of rain, the wind
blowing from the northeast
As hurricanes generally preceded by days
and even weeks of calm and hot weather, no appre-
tensions were felt of the coming storm. On the
morning of the llth ultimo, fresh gales frcm the
northeast prevailed, and the sky was dark with
masses Of heavy clouds. At two p. m, the hurri-
cane commenced, blowing the salt from the pits
against the houses, which caused the inhabitants 90
bar their doors and windows, and 60 take refuge in
such places az promised the greatest security from
the fury of tho elements.
The hurricane continued raging until midnight,
when IL ceased Tor about hour, and then recon-
mcnced with its previous severity, and 80 contin-
ucd until the ncrt morning, when II moderated.
During its continuance several lives were lost m
the harbor, and the shipping suffered severely.
Several buildings were destroyed, the materials OF
which were scattered in every direction The in
habitants have sustained considerable loss aud il
- supposed that salt can be made for four or five
years. The depth of water IN the salt ponds, by
reason Of the heavy rains was nine feet the former
depth was only fourteen inches. Salt had risen Ina
consequence from 10 10 80 cents per barrel and the
latter price had been refused.
The vessels IA port also suffered severely from the
effects of the storm
The now ship Andover (of New York } Bcarse
lying outside the western point Of the harbgr, dis
charging ballast, dragged her anchors two miles
more and when nearing the land, cut her masts
away TO prevent going shore. Her hull was
very much damaged By the falling Of spsrs, &c,
and her rudder iastenings were broken, lost an
anchor, sc. Barquc Franklin, (of Portland,)
Cook, also dragged with four anchors out, and
beat over the bar, when her masts were cut away
10 prevent her going on the rocks, but she after
wards commenced dragging and brought up near
the shore, striking the bottom. The British briggs
knchantress and Victoria were both wrecked, be.
ing high and dry upon the beach. All the above
wrecks had every thing carried away above the
rails. II was thought other vessels had been
wrecked by the fragments Of chests, furniture
&c, found near the island. The J. w Blodgc,
was near the island ON the llth and l2th but iclt
none of the hurricane.
Accounts from Antigua and St. kits state that
those places had experienced the hurricane equally
severe. At AnguiIla also the salt Is reported 10 be
nearly all destroyed by inundaiion.
