The severe gale Of wind, accompanied bv
fearful storm of rain, that visited this city
little past one o'clock yesterday afternoon,
would appear from all accounts to have called
upon portions Of country lying west of us as
we'll. gentleman who arrived on the Dixon
Air line Railroad, last evening, 1nforns rs
that Fulton, Lyons, and Clinton were all more
or lss sufferers from the wind and water. It
commenced to storm in that locality at three
O'Clock yesterday morning, aud the rain fell
copiously and the wind blew perfect hurri-
cane for from four to six hours, drenching the
earth with the greatest quantity Of water that
has ever been known to fall In this vicinity in
the same lapse Of time. Everything in the
shape Of living creature was compelled to
seek shelter OF be borne away By the power Of
one Of the two unru1y elements.
Wedo not hear Of great amount Of dam-
age having been done to property, but a
barn was burned in Lyons from lightning
stroke, and the tower OF the Western Union
College, at Fulton, was also struck by the elec-
trio current and badly shattered. So much
wntef accumulated on the railroad track, near

President Davis recommended to
Congress the adoption by law Of the
conscription system instead Of relying
on volunteers exclusively or recruiting
for the regular army. BY this, The
Whole body Of citizens liable to do
military service will be duly enrolled.
and when it becomes necessary to en-
body q new force, every one thus en-
rolled must take his chance by lot. or
otherwise, to serve in defence Of the
country. This system was that by
which France, in her first revolution.
filed up the immense armies by which
she triumphed over all Europe coalesced
against her, and by which Napoleon.
overturned almost every European
throne. To retain his empire, he drain
cd by the conscription the population
so deeply, that it became at last unpo-
rular and was abolished ON the return
of the Bourbons.
In most of the continental States of
Europe, it has been adopted, but was
never favored by England or in this
country where there has, in fact, been
no necessity for adopting it. After all,
it appears to be the fairest, as well as
the most certain mode, of always keep
ing an efficient standing military force.
Under it, there can be no skirting *
the poor and rih alike are liable to serve
in the ranks.
The system has lately been adopted
in South Carolina.

Cotton Planting.

Gov. Pickens has issued aproclama
tion to the planters Of South Ca
roina, urging them to raise an abun
dance Of provisions in lieu of the usual
cotton crop. We copy portion:
Now, there, be ii known that ], as
Governor Of South Carolina, with
the earnest appreciation of the Execu
tive Council, do hereby issue this my
proclamation calling upon all good
citizens 10y every appeal that can in.
huenco faithful and a patriotic people
to abstain from planting, at most, more
than one-iifth Of their usual crop of
cotton and to plant large crop Of
grain. BY 50 doing, we place ourselves
upon the surcst foundations OF indcpof1-
dcncc, and put it beyond the power of
our enemies to obtain large. supply
Of that article SO essential in the com
mcrcc of modern nations, except by
the ordinary mode Of an uninterrupted
trade with an independent people
Cotton is an article which comes
nearer to gold and silver, in the ad-
iustment Of balances between nations,
than any other production; because,
with the expectation of costs as to
transportation, it has nearly universal
ity Of demand and universality of va
luc, and is not perishablc. Unless it
can be procured by treating those who
produce it with equality in their inter
course with Other nations, then we
should refuse toproducc it, and dcterm-
inc to destroy what we may have if
necessary 70 control this power ctlec-
tually to our advantage, there must
he concert of action; and | earnestly
cntreat every patriotic man to comply,
for at least one crop, with tho sug-
gestion of this proclamation.
The wealthy farmers owe it to the
wives, daughters and sisters of our
brave soldiers in the field to raise
enough provisions, not only for them
selves, but to sec that there is no
want around The homes of our gallant
men who are in active service. The
enemy threatens alargc portion of the
rice-growiag region Of our State This
source of supply, which has heretofore
been so abundant and 50 essential in
our domestic economy, may be large
ly diminished, and this is an addition
al reason why every planter in the
should enlarge his crop of
We have all the means
of productive supplies within our
selves, and now is the time to enlarge
all those supplies SO essential to tho
support of our armies and so necessary
to our permanent independence.
