We were yesterday visited by most terrible
storm and gale. The wharves were nearly all over
flowed. The cellars of the custom house stores,
on Long Wharf, are completely inundated, and the
destruction OF property thereby immense.

with water. The rails in a number of places, on
the Housatonic railroad had been washed of, and
the entertainments carried away. The track on the
Worcester railroad is undermined beyond the dam.
The Eastern railroad is also badly injured many
places. The new Episcopal church is seriously
damaged that it will have to be rebuilt.
This is the highest tide ever known to have oc.
Cured in Boston. The steeple of the Baptist

Fairfield Plank Road.

Col. WALLACE, President OF the Fairfield and
Mount Pleasant Plank Road Company visited this
town few days since, for the purpose Of obtain
ing subscriptions to the stock of his road. Our
citizens, with their usual lberality, and with a
view to promote their own interests, entered warm
" into the work, and Notwithstanding the heavy
draughts made on them recently for other public
improvements, gave ample and satisfactory encour-
agement to Mr. w. to show their willingness TOT join
in such an important undertaking.
It is the intention Of the Company to grade the
whole line Of the road the present season, as well
as to bridge Skunk river at the crossing. In one
year from next fall we may therefore expect to be
in Plank road connection with Fairfield.
The Plank road from this place to Mount Pleas
ant will be completed by fall. All who have trav-
eed on that portion of It already finished, speak in
the highest terms of its excellence all other

Richland and Drish, Plank n Dad.

Our citizens in the interior are taking hold in the
matter Of constructing Plank Roads in right good
earnest. The continuation of the Burlington and
Mount Pleasant Plank Road to Fairfield, is now
fixed fact. Branches of this important inprove-
ment are springing mp in every direction. Among
these we note the Rchland and Brighton move
ment, the proceedings Of which may be seen in an
other column. Brighton is sure to connect with
the Mount Pleasant road. to bring that be au-
tiful section Of country, including Keokuk county,
to our very doors, by Plank-road communication.
The sure and easy access to a good market at all
seasons Of the year. and the enhancement of value
to the lands OF the farmers, will be the inevi,a.
BILE consequences Of such enterprise.
In addition to the above, we learn that the citi.
zens Of Lowell have determined to connect with
the same great thoroughfare. This is an impor-
tant movement on their part, and we are only sor.
ry that we never received the proceedings OF their
meeting, SO as lay them before the public These
meetings are so frequent that pains should be TAX
en- by their officers to forward the proceedings to
the printers; otherwise they may be overlooked.

The great difference can be readily seen, BY any
observer between the tide of emigration this year
that of last. About this time, in 1856, nothing
was heard OF, talked Of. thought OF. or dreamed oil
but the golden land Of California, and the fortunes
which lay buried beneath its earth. But how
things have changed in one short year! Instead oil
thousands leaving the West for California. see
thousands locking within her borders, there TO
settle permanenty-some to cultivate the soil, and
others to engage in various branches Of business,
which will tend to give new impulse to commerce
and agriculture.
Almost every boat leaving st Louis for the Up
per Mississippi is crowded with emigrants, from
almost all parts Of the globe, bound for Iowa, Ili-
nois, and Wisconsin. Farmers, with their uten-
sils, are coming to seek home; disappointed Cal

fectly satisfied with view of the sseephanf," and
who will now turn their attention to some useful
pursuit, and try to make up for lost time.-t Mus
