lowing extracts from letters received in this
city relative to the effects of the late storm on
the crops in this State and Georgia:
| KINGSTON, s, G., September 15.-The late
storm has done considerable injury to the Cot
ton crops in this district
ALTAMAHA, September A. 1854 The gale of
the 9th instant will shorten the rice crop on this
estate from 10 to $4,000 bushels, while the
quality of the rice saved will not be materially
| affected heavy loss falls on few places.
On g. Island, where there was but 26O acres
planted, the loss will be greater than on this
place, where we had 1850 acres planted Ihave
no definite information as to the extent of the
loss, but will mention those places, which, in
my opinion, have suffered most. viz: Bonds
Morris, Gen. Island, Dents, Foreman's, Troup's,
Grants and Huger's The destruction on the
other plantations was from the rain and its
effects, and not from the overflow of the tides
The cotton crops are cut off one-haIf if not
more. Our mails have been entirely cut off
this week, so that we have no information from
abroad, but hope your city and your planters
have not been great sufferers.
This following is an extract, says the Charles
ton Mercury of the 18th, from a highly intelli-
gent planter Of Prince William parish, dated
September 13:
Having several letters to write to- night, am
sorry that cannot give you a detailed account
of the late disastrous gale, or rather hurricane
can only say that our crops of cotton seem al
most entirely destroyed. can hardly suppose,
from present appearances, that the destruction
can amount to less than thirds; this ap-
pears to be the condition of my own, and from

country, are injured to like extent. more
terrible storm have never witnessed; a common
expression here is, that the crops are entirely
gone.
l was of opinion at one time that my crops
were good for between sixty and seventy bales.
In fact, a finer prospect have never had, but if
InoW make twenty, ! shall be more fortunate
than present indications warrant me in believ-
ing shall be.
The following is an extract of a letter, taken
| from the same paper, dated Blue House, Sept.
13:
We have received serious injury in this neigh
horhood by the gale. The Gombahee was salt
fifty miles from its mouth. All the rice crop
was in harvest and stacked, and every bit of it
was washed into the river. There we're heavy
| breaks in the river banks, and the large fields
we're completely under water, looking like one
vast ocean. Boats were indispensable in trav-
| cling, as many portions of the roads were deep
under water. Some of the large planters will
be damaged in the loss of crops and the break
age of banks to the extent of twenty or twenty
i've thousand dollars There has been much in
jury to the roads, bridges, and causeWays.
