still wilder and from that time on until towards noon
yesterday, we have rarely seen gale of greater vo-
lence. An immense quantity of rain has fallen and
the power OF the windblasts can be judged from tile
fact that many of the old rooted and large ornamental
trees in the city, have been prostrated For over
thrty-six hours has the storm preyailed-probably

ever known.

crops. No fields of cotton could have stood such
blasts and such rains, except with material injury
In all probability the storm has been general one
and we may be prepared to hear throughout adioin-

ing down of crops, and the destruction of cotton
bolls. ConsiderVg the season. the gale has been be-
yond all precedent te"I5
