RAIN.--The three daysrain commencing
with Sunday ended yesterday afternoon
in very heavy thunder shower. The .
streets for half an hour were flooded .
beyond their capacity for drainage. The /
long cry Of low wells and almost empty I
mill ponds ended with the advent Of Feb /
ruary, and the recent rains have flooded /
all the bottoms. Out West this week. 6 .
inches of rain has fallen to swell the vol /
umn of water in the rivers that were
already full, and the streams are higher
than ever before known. The Ohio, Mis-
sissipPi, Tennessee and other rivers have
OvertlOWn their banks, and whole counties
are submerged by the flood Of waters
Great damage to property and loss of
cattle, hogs, sheep, &c, is the conse-
quence. The West can beat us in grow
ing enormous crops, but it can also beat
us in wasting floods and destructive
cyclones that wipe out ia an hour the ac-
cumulated laborS Of years
