OBSTRUCTIVE STORM.-On Wednesday
night of last week, this County was visited
o6y severe storm of wind. rain and hail
Much damage was done, principally along
narrow belt of land, varying from half q
mile to two miles in width, beginning in the
Southwestern portion of the County, and
crossing the Catawba river near Aiken's
ferry, which seems to have been the track
OF the main storm. All three of the ele-
ments did their share of the injury. In
some places. the heavy rains, amounting
almost to flood, washed away both crops
and soil, leaving the land ruined for present
cultivation. Some bottom lands had the
soil swept of, and heavy
deposit of sand left in its place. Hillside
fields also suffered from this washing pro
cess, and III some instances good deal of
guano was carried away with the SOIL The
water courses were generally swollen, and
bridges and mills suffered in conseouopce.
In other localities, the wind was the
principal agent of destruction. together
with hail, which, we hear. fell in Jumps as
large as guinea eggs. We have heard of
several houses being blown down or other
wise injured by the gale, and have seen
trees which were either torn up by the roots
or snapped in two few feet from the
ground. The crops along the main track of
the storm were very seriously injured
wheat, IN particular, being almost literally
ruined
We mention some of the casualties of
which we have heard, though they are by
no means all that occurred. The bridge
over Stony Fork, above Gordou's Mill, was
washed away; also the dam and the steps of
the mill7house, though the house itself was
uninjured. The dam of Millers mill, on
Allison Greek, was broken Sahms' mill, at
Clay Hill, had many of the glass in the win
dows broken, as did the house Of Mrs Wat
son, near by. The gin house of B. F.
Briggs, Esq, was blown down, and some
zoo pounds of lint cotton was scattered for
miles. David Turner's house, near town,
was blown down, and some others, which
we cannot now recall
The following farms were among those
which stood the severest shock, and the
crops on them will have to be almost en-
tirely replanted: W. B. Steels, VIM. Choat's,
a. d. Choats, Hugh Tate's, Andrew Stew
arts, W. FL. Neely's, Mrs. Neely's, James
Choat's, Mrs M. j. Wa sons, David Wat
sons, j. W. -Aken's and j. B. Tate's
We are informed that the storm was also
very severe in Mecklenburg County, N. c.,
especially in the Steel Creek neighborhood.
Among the casualties reported there. Colo
mel VIM. Grier had all his out houses blown
down, Dr.. Pressley's dwelling-house was
unroofed, and the chimneys of Mrs. Watts
house were thrown down.

Friday Morning, May 81. 1859.

THIS YEARS SOUTHERN CRors. The
North is calculating upon decrease OF corn
and an increase in cotton grown in the
South. This is exactly as their neoessit y
demands and their interest prompts. Hence
the calculation-with a decrease in the corn
crop, the South would become the pur-
chaser OF the surplus crops Of the West and
the West be content. With an increase in
the cotton crop, Eastern manufacturers
would be able to reduce its market price,
and perhaps control the market The
South, without greenbacks to buy Western
corn, will be dependent upon the New York
market for currency, to realize on their cot
ton, wherewith to make the purchases of
Western produce, and New York would
control the exchanges and thrive, and the
West be content with a new market to sus-
tain dropping prices, and the South suffer
from low price Of cotton and high priced
grain and bacon. This is the plain English
(if our farmers cal see iD of the following
article, which we clip from the New York
Express:
''Therc will be increased crops of cotton
rice and sugar, but less corn at the South.
A diversion of at least 1,000,O 600 of acres
from corn to cotton is predicted, and. an
increased use of guano and fertilizers.
5000, 900 bales, in place of 5000, 900 bales
are expected; the average before the war;
We might have more, were it not for the fact
that the negroes have in part abandoned the
plow, while q strong force is devoted to rice
and cotton. 100000 bales Of cotton will
now he raised, and 80 1000 tierces of rice,
and zoo, 900 hogsheads of sugar, Last year.
although the crops we're 1essi,than the year
before the war, the aggregate sums realized
from rice, cotton ;nnd sugar at the South,
hfter conversion into gold, exceeded the re-
turns Ct 1860. The rice crop may exceed
our local wants, and if not too high, be ex-
ported. In sugar, of which we consume
l,8o0, 600, 600 pounds, our crop will not
supply fifth of the consumption. AS for
cotton, the stocks must be nearly exhausted
by July, and this must, for the present, tend
to sustain prices, bnt by the autumn may
VIC not well anticipate an accession of
300, 900 bales from increased growth in
India and Brazil. and 100000 bales from
our Southern States? An accession of
500, 900 bales might not seriously depress
prices, except in the promised completion
of the Suez Canal, in October, which will
reduce the passage to France, Spain and
England, by propellers through the canal,
in place of ships by the Cape. at least four
months. The cotton of Bombay can take
this route, and will accelerate the delivery
OF India cotton four months, which will be
equivalent to adding for the first year one
third to the deliveries from India, say
6O0, 900 bales If we are correct in this, we
may expect to see cotton decline below
twenty-five cents by the close of the year,
and then take at least twelvemonth to re-
cover"

REMOVAL OF SOLDIERS REMAINS. We
learn from the GAINESVILLE (Ohio) Signal that
an agent of General Bingham, the chief
quartermastcr of the department of the
lakes, is now in Columbus. attending to the
removal of scattered bodies of soldiers,
both Union and Confederate, to the prnci-
pal national cemeteries. The Confederate
dead in the city graveyard, ninety three in
number. and in the burying ground at Camp
Dennison, thirty one in number, will be re-
moved to the Confederate cemetery at Camp
Chase. This will make the number of Con-
federate dead at Camp Chase something
over 1000, and will concentrate all the Con-
federate dead buried in Ohio into the two
cemeterics-Ca Chase and Governors
Island.
