THURSDAY EVENING, NOV. 81, 1861.
THE LATE STORM was the most severe OF

The LATE STORM was the most severe Of
any that has occurred in this State, in the
month OF November, for many years. From
the morning of the 1lth to the evening Of
the 10th, it was raining or showing almost
constantly, and the sun scarcely made bis
appearance during the time. The storm
has extended all over the State. and the
snow has fallen to an unusual depth in the
mountains. At Strawberry Valley. on the
Placerville route, the snow was six feet
deep, on Monday last, and since then no
stage or express has come through. Parties
who came down from Eureka yesterday, in-
form us that the snow is about five feet deep
on an average on the Henness road. A
rain guage kept by DR.. Logan, Of Sacra-
mento, shows fall, from the commence
ment Of the storm up to sundown on Sun
day evening, of 1920 inches; the fall in
Grass Valley for the same time. according
to guage kept by Mr.. Ever, shows fall
Of $40 inches-being more than three times
the quantity that fell at Sacramento. Yes
terday and to-day, the weather has been
pleasant, but cold.

"THR NORTHEAST GOING TO RUIN. Under
this head the New York Commercial Advertiser
gives some interesting statistics, with very
brief commentary:
Those who predicted (t says) that in eonse-
quence Of the insurrection grass would grow in
the streets of New York will find curious full
flment Of their prophecies in Assessors returns
of this State for the current year.
In 1860 the aggregate valuation of real and
personal property in the Empire State was
81 ,4l6, ,298,427; in 1861 itamounts to 81 AL
767 ,4S0-increase nearly twenty four and hnlf
millions Of dollars, or fully double the difference
as shown between 1859 and 1850.
This increase has not taken place chiefly in
the rural districts, as might have been sup
posed, but in the large cities. Phus the valua-
ton of this county is $57l ,07S, ,798, against
$3.50, ,678,77S; while that Of the whole Metro
poltan Police District is $3.50. 1855, against
S707, ,496 in 1860. In fact, nearly all the
progress shown has taken place within this
district.
This is not the state Of things that many of
us may have expected, especially those who took
their cue from journals in the rebel interest.
Bitter as have been the disappointments, severe
the losses in individual cases, it will be seen
that the State as a whole has seldom made
such progress in wealth.
