One of the severest Storms that we recol-
lect 'of ever having witnessed has .prevailed
here-for the last two or three days. The
wind commenced blowing from the JNorth
on Sunday evening and continued increasing
in violence up to Tuesday morning when it
veered around to the South and blew With
so much force that scarcely anything was
able to withstand it. Houses fences and
trees were leveled to the ground in its course.
During all this time it rained incessantly.
We have no means of ascertaining the quan-
tity of rain that has fallen since Sunday
night but there has certainly more fallen j
.since men man we ever saw m tne same
length of time. Considerable damage has
been done in town by'the wind. The Kiteh-
enand Stable belonging to the Hotel of Mrs.

The Three New TETRiTORinSome
time ago we mentioned thtfie natf-nal ad-
ministration had framed a'vi foidrganiz-
I ing three new territorial ginmeifs in the
Indian country soutu ogsiisas to-consist
severally of the countrie0uhe Che'olcees in
one torritory the Creeksv.nothe and the
Choctaws and Chickasaw mi thrd. This
plan it was stated on thj ithrity of a
person who had just arrived im the Chick-
asaw nation had been sent ; to le can-
vassed by the tribes concern an) who
under it were to be con ti nil cithensr of
the United States. At the i session of
the Senate a bill was presited ly Mr.
Johnson of Arkansas which mbdd the
features of this scheme andv.iich though
it was not acted on will prolibly form a
subject of discussion at "Wiibingbn next
winter. This bill proposes ?fk tic assent
of the tribes named to extern! ovc them

to organize three teitories ofwhh Ihe

We have received the Southern Literary
Messenger for September. This is an ex-
cellent Magazine and should be liberally
supported by Southern men.
De Bow's Review for September con
tains as usual a large amount of valuable
and interesting statistical matter. This Re-
view should be taken by every one who can
afibrd it and carefully kept. It will be al-
most invaluable in a few years for reference.
The Alabama and Georgia papers are
down on Putnam's and Harper's Magazines
and advising the Southern people to dis-
countenance them on account of their Abo-
litionism. Putnam for September contain
ed an article on our "Parties and Politics"
which was of the ultra abolition class. Har-
per contained one of the same sort a short
time siuce. "We think that when Magazines
professing to be of a purely literary charac-
ter descend to attack our institutions we
should withhold from them our support.
The News of last week publishes the rates
of toll that will be charged by the Canal
Company. On most of the articles the
charges are quite low indeed.
The Mobile Register proposes that a sub
scription should be raised by the citizens of
Mobile for the rjo3fof building a Monu-

Several other buildings were considerably
aaraagea; out ionunaieiy no one was nurt
although some were in imminent danger for
a time. Almost all the Shade Trees in the
town were blown down and a great many
of the fences were forced away by the great
force of the storm. The Storm continued
up to this morning but considerably abated
in its fury. The wind is blowing now from
the North and we are threatened with an-
other storm of rain. We have been unable
to hear from the country this morning but
we fear that when we do we shall hear of
nothing but disasters. The Cotton planters
have been very unfortunate this year oh
accouut of the wet weather and the appear-
ance of the worm among their crop; but we
fear that the wind and the rain for the last
two or three days has blown down the
stalks to the ground broken all the bolls
from the stalks and in fact nearly ruined
the entire crop. The Sugar Cane has cer-
tainly been blown flat to the ground and
we much fear that it is so late in the season
that it will be unable to right itself.

seems probable that action was dy delay-

In the selection for a newspaper of miscel-
laneous paragraphs from various sources
foreign and domestic there is an average
daily of one notice of some new discover
or invention. The results promised are such
that if they could be but realized no dis-
ease would be beyond the reach of remedy
and no scientific mechanical or sumptuary
desideratum would be left unsupplied. If
facts only kept pace with the sanguine hopes
of projectors inventors and discoverers death

more benevolent spirit than malicious satire
now represents them. Aerostation and oth-
er high flights would be perfectly feasible.

ment of their crops. This enriches those
who have the least interest in the produce
and enslaves the actual owners ; and. any
project which would enable them to become
the entire possessors of all the profits would
demand a capital the formation of which
would require an individual tax too heavy
for them to bear. In creating a surplus for
the home consumption (corn pork kc.)
they meet with a check in the demand not
being equal to the expenditure of labor and
time. Consequently with a climate unsur-
passed a soil unequalled and an exorbitant
return for labor it is very rare for any of
our planters to arise from great pecuniary
difficulties while nabobs are made from their
excessive labors; and this often deters them
from that independence arising from the
payment of debts by property unless at a
great sacrifice as capital flows apparently in
a channel adverse to their receipts. Upon
social intercourse a sparse population -ope

small to advance or receive those social ben-

quarrel may isolate every family and it may
even require a domestic calamity to connect
the bonds again in the enjoyment of the
luxuries of all American communities; such

Peons from entering that county or residing

alizinnr the Legislature for some action on
the subject so that the evil they complain of
may be remedied. Tho cause of their en-
mity to this class of the Mexican population
is that they entice the negroes to run away
from their masters to Mexico. The San

the present instance in order to secure to
themselves the utmost confidence and to .'
their mends the greatest success and at the
same time extend their field of usefulness
they have established this Association and
by so doing adopted such a course as in
their opinion is calculated to receive and
diffuse all the facts relative to the profession
and its collateral branches in this and the
neighboring counties. I have tried to por-
tray some of the effects of a sparse popula-
tion ; one of its causes is the imputation 5f
grave-yardedness under which we have al-
ways suffered. To do away with such a
slander and draw the emigrants notice to
this sectiou of country requires facts unde-
niable within themselves aud capable of
beiug tested by the most rigid examination.
There will be a number of questions pro-
pounded individually to tho citizens of the
count the object of which will be to devei-
ope these facts. As to my owu course it is
derived from my beiug the active member
from this county. With respect

South aud continue to play into rue hands
ol the abolitionists should we not begin to
put on our spestacles and watch their move-
ments a little more closely ? We should
know " who's who." A favorite hope and
aim of Greely & Co. for years past has
been to get the South irrevocably divided
against herself upon vital questions of con-
stitutional right and then and there to drive
the entering wedge for the abolition of slave-
ry by enactments of the Federal Congress
(ajid if need be by an amendment to the
Constitution when a sufficient number of
now free States may have been admitted
under the operation of the false principle
that Congress has power to prohibit slavery
in the territories. Let the Southern people
betimes roll back the tide of fanatical aud
aggressive .encroachment by standing with
unbroken front and unshaken resolution
upon the broad national ground upon which
the great compromise of 1 S50 is based that
Congress has no power over s-Iaverv in the
territories. TENNESSEE.

The lessons of experience are the most reliable
j and if not too costly are sought after by the prac
tical. The following is the voluntaiy testimony of
a worthy and well known physician relative to his
experience of the efficacy of B. A. Fahnestock's
celebrated Vermifuge during a practice of twenty-
five years.
Grenada UUs. ay 23d 1353.
3Tessrs. B. A. Fahnettock J- Cv:
Gemlemkx : I am oue of those individuals
backward iu giving cer:ificates bur in the present
instance consider it due to humanity to say that I
have been engaged in the practice of Medicine for
twenty-live years and have never met with anv
remedy- so effectual for worms as your Vermifuge.
In adults eve in cases of Fever I sometimes use
it to carry off calomel taken the previous ni"ht
and often fiud bilious evacuations and worms to
follow. I uc no other Vermifuge iu my practice
and desire no better.
