THE STORM AND THE CRoPs.--We are inclined 10
think that the damage done to the corn and cotton
crops by the late storm is greater than at first sup
posed. good deal of will be lost, particularly
that upon low lands. We have had three heavy rains
since the Storm but of late, the weather has been high
ly favorable. The corn, however, was blown flat,
good deal OF it is soaking in water to this time.
AS for Cotton, the weather has, in the main, not
been unavorable to the plant since the storm, but it
shows unmstakeable signs of having suffered great IN
jury. The leaves are dyingthe blooms destroy
ed, and it will not probably put out more, and great
deal of the fruit was destroyed. The yield we are
forced to believe must be diminished very heavy per
centum-the planters all say at least fifty.
