We learn from gentleman who has inst arrived
from the city OF Thibodaux, that the storm ragged
| violently In that quarter, doing a considerable
| amount Of damage. We also learn from a gentle
man OF Bayou Lacache, that the water two miles
below that place was six feet over the ridge, and
! at Bayou Lacache it was from nineteen to twenty
inches hagher than during the Last Island storm d
| 1856. We have yet learned nothing from the sew
eral islands. [Houma Guard. 3
LAFouRcHE.--On Monday last the rain fell at in
tervals until about IL O'Clock at night, when q
steady and terrible storm set in, increasing hourly
followed by gale on Tuesday morning, which, in
regard to its disastrous effects, the parallel has not
been witnessed in this portion Of the country for
years. The gale kept on increasing and diminish
ing until about O'Clock in the evening, when it
burst forth in its utmost fury. The extent Of the
damage done in town was considerable. The wind
carried everything before it, uprooting trees teas-
ing down fences, and in some instances blowing
down some small tenements. The Presbyterian
Church. situated at the corner of St. Louis and
IhIbodanx streets, was seriously damaged by the
wind and rain. two-story brick house at the
corner Of Green and Bridget streets, was likewise
damaged to considerable extent We are happy
to learn that there was no loss of life. negro
man was somewhat injured by the fall of chimney
from the house occupied by Mr.. Knobloch, the
confectioner This is the only instance where, in
town, human life was jeopardized, as far as we
have been able to learn. The havoc done in the
interior is said to be appalling. The two churches
IN LabadIeyille, are reported TO have been blown
down. We give below, as far as we could ascer-
tain, the damage on the various plantations in this
parish. 5F Nh 8l s5Sz E.ss,se ls35IT7TF

lBERvILLE.-The severe storm which visited us
last Tuesday has done great damage throughoutth
country. Large trees were torn down, houses IN
rooted, and fences blown down. Cane sheds on
several plantations were torn down. In our. town
no serious damage was done except to our mer.
chants. whose goods were injured by the rain pen-
etrating through the roofs. The best slate roofs
rain. In the country the canes are badly injured,
being mostly blown down to the ground.

Bayou Goula, was leveled to the ground The

damages which we have heard of so far. 1t seems
that the storm was still more injurious in the ad-
joining parishes especially to the cotton CROPS
which are said to have suffered heavily.

IBERyrLRE PARIsH-The loss in this parish has
been heavy, including several lives. The Weekly
Magnolia, Plaquemine, has the subioined parteu-
lars: st +a 5a@- e=1- 8s lz
We have conversed with quite number of our
farmers since the heavy rain and wind of Tuesday
and Wednesday last, and all Of them say they have
been greatly damaged; the cotton crop has been
materially injured. We learn that DR.. H. Quin lost
forty or fifty bales, and other smaller planters in
proportion. The damage done the cotton eron in
this parish cannot fall far short of five hundred
bales :
We learn that there has been great destruction
of property and many lives lost, occasioned by the
overflowng Of the country between Manchac and
Frenier the loss of property consisted princ
pally In cattle. Several human bodies had been
picked up, among them lady and two children.
PoST COuPEE.- We were visited on the evening
Of Tuesday last by one of the most violent storms
for many years. Besides occasioning good deal
OF fright to those who were not quite satisfied as
to the solidity of their houses, the wind has done
immense damage to the standing crop. There
having been great deal of cotton open, this was
scattered so as to make the ground in some places
white, as If covered with snow. The cane, too,
has greatly suffered thus blasting the last hopes of
our sugar planters for this season. We have heard
Of chimneys blown down. and of houses over.

hermitage, was, we regret to say completely
demolished. The storm has committed rayares
at least from Natchez to New Orleans.

From La Meschacebe we learn that the damage
done in the above parishes is immense, the storm
being considered to have surpassed in fury any
since that of 1872 A disastrous proportion Of the
cane was beaten to the ground. In st. John Bap-
tst parish the sugar-house of DR.. Loughorough was
prostrated also the chmneys of the sugar works
of Mime Chas. Rouselle and Mr.. James b. Hum.
phreys The house of Mr.. ULCER Vicknair, the
foundry OF Mr.. John ketine, and building of Mime
Herman Walter, were destroyed. In the parish Of |
st. Charles the chimney of MIR. Webb's sugar house
was overthrown. In st. James, the sugar house of |
Mr.. Chopin is heap of ruins, and that of Mr. Leb
vent is very much damaged. Reports of vast
number of disasters had reached the office of La
Meschacebe which it had no space to publish.
FROM THE CoTToN PARIsHEs.-Aecounts from
the cotton regions are deplorabe. The storm
made complete sweep of every opened boil on |
