OUR STEADILY INCREASING Poverty"
The New York Nation propounds with
startling seriousness the discovery of "our
steadily increasing poverty The people of
the United States are, and have been for sew
eral years past, steadily decreasing in wealth"
This general thesis our contemporary de-
monstrates by showing that, according to the
recent reports of the Agricultural Bureau at
Washington, the number of mich COWS in
the country is now smaller by five per cent.
than it was in 1860; the number of working
cattle is less by thirty per cent the decrease
in asses and mules is twenty.eight per cent /;
in horses seventeen per cent; in swine near
ly twenty-five per cent "Truly," says the
Nation, most startling figures" ca.
The truth is, that from 1861 to 1865 the
country was engaged in an enormous civil
war. Eleven States formally seeded from
the Union, set up confederacy of their own,
levied great armies, and waged extensive hos
tilitics against the national Government
In the course of this struggle all the domes-
tic animals in these eleven States were con-
sumed. When the war was ended there was
literally no oxen, cows horses, asses, mules
or swine left in all the south. In that war
not less than six thousand millions of dollars
worth of property not counting slaves, and
one million of able-bodied men were blotted
out of existence. Of course this leaves the
nation comparatively poor, and the wonder
is That 1t IS not poorer than it really is.-N

TERRIBLE STORM IN VIRGINIA.

BILE storm few days ago The hail in some
places laid TWO or three feet deep on the
ground. A correspondent says: '"Not far
from Mr.. James Freeman's waterspout fell !;
citizen living in the ravine below the spout,
lost his wife and child in shocking manner.
She saw the terrible tide rushing upon her
house; she threw the children upon bed,
ran after small boy outside, and as she en-
tered the door with the child the tide entered
the upper door with large tree; this struck
the woman with great force, carrying her and
the child away with the logs and trees
There being two houses, one giving away,
turned the current of water, which saved the
other house and other children, after moving
the house some two feet The womans body
was found one mile below the house, severed
in twain-one leg was not found. The child
was perfect jelly. Two cows that were
swept off had not been found. Great dam
age was done to the gardens crops, &c. The
woods looked like id-winter.-Lynch6urg

The TIDE WATER CANAL.-For the week
ending July 25th, there were towed from the
outlet lock, at Havre de Grace, go boats, as
follows To Baltimore, AZ boats, loaded with
coal, lumber, ice, dc. to PHILADELPHIA 10
boats, loaded with pig iron. lumber, bark &C.;
to Spesutia Island, 8 boats, loaded with coal,
and to other points, 8 boats, loaded with iron
ore, lumber, coal, &c. and there were I'M
loaded at Havre de Grace, during the week,
8 boats, loaded with coal. Arrivals during
the week, SO boats, and departures, so boats.
The trade on the canal is very light, owing
in great measure, to the busy harvest sea-
son and the unusually low state of the water.
The late heavy rains, however, will, in all
probability, cause business to be more brisk
and from now until the close of navigation
the trade on the canal will be more lively.

TAe Rat,,s or Last IE.sek.

Our exchanges bring daily reports of the
damage done by the rains of last week. In
this State the damage has been very great,
particularly about the city of Baltimore, at
Ellicott's City and all along Jones Falls and
the Patapsco River. In this county the
damage is not so great as was at first sup
posed. Although the rain fell in sheets, at
times during Friday, and 1t rained heavily
all day, we have heard ofbut few instances
of serious damage. Deer Creek and Winters
Run, although high, did, as we learn, no
very serious damage The heaviest of the
rain seemed west of these streams, and Little
Creek and the Little Falls, were each swollen
to such an extent that fences, meadows and
almost everything along their banks suffered
terribly. The most serious loss that we have
heard of, in this county, is that of Mr.. David
Lee, owner of the Jerusalem Mills. These
mills are directly on the Little Falls, and suf-
fered severely from the unusual flood in that
stream. The water, we are told, rose to the
the second story, and everything on the first
floor was ruined or carried away, besides
doing much damage to the building and ma.
chinery. The loss of Mr.. Lee, we hear stated
to be between two and three Thousand dollars.
Beyond the damage done on the streams
above named, the injury in this county was
chiefly confined to growing crops, roads, and
grain and hay not removed from the field
after being harvested. Notwithstanding a
very large part of the harvest which was
housed or secured, there was yet quite a
quantity of wheat and hay that had not heen
taken care of at the time of the storm, all of
which suffered more. or less, although we
have heard of no actual entire loss. The
growing corn suffered to q much greater ex-.
tent than any other growing crop, and many
persons even looked upon it, in many instan-
ces as destroyed, so completely flat ON the
ground had the wind and rain beaten it, but
ride in the country the other day satisfied
us that the damage to it is nothing like what
was anticipated. Indeed we are strongly in
clined to think that, after all, the crop will
be better and heavier, notwithstanding the
injury, than if the storm had not passed over
this section. Since the rain We have noticed
many corn fields where the crop was beaten
fiat on the ground which now show no very
marked signs of injury. 1t is true that the
stalks are very much bent. but much the
greater part of the corn that we have seen
has raised from the ground, and much of it,
to our mind, will be at least an average crop.
The standing grain ready for harvest suffere8
serious injury. Particularly may this be said
Of oats, hardly any of which can becut in the
usual way, so tangled and flat did the storm
leave it. This crop in this county was vezy
light at best, and with the injury which it
has received, but little can be expected of
it, I.'-
