TPointe Coupee Pelican, !

A slight rain set In on the morning of the
first, attended by light wind, which gradually
increased until about a. M, when it became
q hurricane, which ragged without intermis-
sion for twelve hours. The rain fell In tor
rents during that time. 1t was no tornado.
but a regular wind and rain storm.
We can only speak of this parish, which has
front of sixty miles, both on the Mississippi
and Atchafalaya rivers. Thestorm prevailed
over the entire parish. The fences were gene
rally thrown down and much broken. The
cattle, horses and hogs had free access to the
fields for two nights and one day. The forms,
blossoms and young bolls were whitfield OFF,
and most of the open cotton is gone. Trees
were uprooted everywhere, and the loss and
damage done to buildings is immense. Mr.
j. b. CazayouX sugar-house was blown down
to the ground: Judge Bouanchaud's sugar
house and four cabins were also blown down !;
part of the roofs of the two sugar-houses of
Mrs. Y. Parlange were lifted: also part of the
roof of the sugal-house on the Ingleside
plantation; Col. Vineent's bagasse chimney
was thrown down; r. Pedarre's cane-shed
blown down; Col Claiborne's purgery and
eooling-rOom blown down, and also a double

The English Cotton Trade.
[London Times.l

/ The depression which has 50 long hung
over the cotton trade is very severely felt In
| Ashton under-Iyne and its neghborhOod.
The manufacture OF cotton, ii not only the
staple industry Of the district js to all inten is
and purposes the only one, for such other
| manufactures as are carried on are dependent
upon the cotton trade, and are affected by It's
prosperity or depression. LII Ashton no less
than twenty-five mills are standing idle.
| When working these concerns contained
about 425,oO splndles and over 1000 looms, Or
about One-fourth of the machinery In the
town. Some Of these mills have been stopped
| two or three years. and the machinery mas
been sold out; others were destroyed BY fire
| recently, while others have only just been
stopped. Within O few weeks six firms have
| given up viz. Messrs Mellor Ii Scragg 30, 900
spindles; Mr.. G. H. Kenworthy, 900 spin
dies; Messrss; ": T.. Buckley = g., Il, 200
10000 spndles; the Epret Mill Com
pany, $1,000 spindles and 27o looms, and the
Good Hope Company, 27.400 spindes. Short
| time Is not now being much resorted to by
the firms whose mills are working. 10 reduce
the output adds to the cost Of the production,
inasmuch as rent, rates, taxes, standing
| wages and other expenses have to be provided
just the same when the mills are working
short as when they are running full time.
There are, however. about half-a-dozen mills,
containing about 2oo, 900 spindles in the whole,
running only three or four days a week. IN
less trade very much improves In the mean
time, there can be no doubt that this number
will be largely increased In the winter, when
the cost of lighting up" has to be taken into
consideration with the other expenses. The
remainder Of the mills are at present NOM
inally on full time. There are about twenty
eight, and they contain nearly 100000 spin
dies and some 1000 or 5000 looms. In the
neighhoring borough Of Stalybridge there are
about 100000 spindles stopped, and similar
number on short time. Those at present work.
ing full time number 636.000. 50 that more
than one-third of the cotton machinery In the
borough Is either stopped or working less
than the full number of hours. Notices Of
further reduction Of per cent from the wages
of operatives have been posted at some OF the
mills In this town. The reduction will come
into force at the end Of the present week, and
will make the fourth per cent 20 per cent |
in ali-deducted from wages. The following
firms have posted the notice: Messrs. Cheet- |
ham, Mr.. Wilkinson. Messrs. ). Hail. Son ~ |
Co.. Messrs. II. Bagley d Son. Messrs. Ads
head y 90. and NJ. Young. The reduction ID
not oo,ug generally maue, each iirm appar-
emily acting on its own responsibility, and ]
not, as in former instances, in concert. Staly- !
bridge Is included In the Ashton district but |
In Ashton itself no notice Of a further reduc-
tion has been given, nor IS the action of the
employers being initiated in ether
parts Of the district.

MIR. VIM. Hubbs, who has been LII the tenth,

crops up In his neghborheod was very great
Persons who would have gathered eight and
ten bales OF cotton will not get more than five
or six now. He states that at Mr.. Polite

the land is overilowed, and water from Whites
Bayou is running across into Baton Rouge
Bayou, a fact that has never before been seen
with cotton and corn lying fat. Several
persons have lost mich cows and other stock
