(JjTW'e give helow some detailsof the devas tating effect" of the late heavy rains and freshets, ifi the Tar. Roanoke, Neuse, and Cape Fear Riv ers. In this vicinity a vast quantity el Corn was drMroyed in the low grounds, but our farmers will sfiil nuku enough lor consumption, and .some to spare. Destructive Storm. On Thursday I at, this M'ctiuti uf country was visited hv a storm of wind and rain, which, for vio lator, surpassed any that wo have ever witiM'ssmi. Trues, fences and corn were rostrated by the wind, and our water courses were swollen to an unprecedent ed height. Many mills and bridges were carried off by the freshet, and, for several days, the stages were unable to cross the streams. The destruction to bridges es pecially was very great. It is estimated that it will cost from live to six thousand dollars to replace those that have been destroyed in this county We learn fn:n a correspodent at Lou isburg, that Tar river has never been known to be higher, and that the damage sutained by the corn crops on that .stream is very great, lie also states, that the injury done to the abutment of the bridge at that place is such, that it will be several davs before the stages and other carriages can pass. We h ave not heard from other parts of the State; but there is too much cause to apprehend that the storm was general, and that the damage is immense. Rat. Star. Freshet. For several days previous to Thursday last, much rain had fallen in this section of country, rind the earth was well saturated with water. During the whole of that night the wind blew a vio lent gale and the rain fell in torrents, until about sunrise, when the wind moderated and the clouds passed away. The con sequences of this storm are very disas trous. The crops of corn and tobacco arc greatly injured, especially on the riv ers and smaller streams. We are un prepared to make any estimate of the damage sustained by the destruction of the growing crops, but it is immense. A large number of Bridges, Milldams, &c. were broken up and carried off. Among those we have heard of are: Taylor's, 'Dickinson's, and Canady's bridges, over Tar River; the new bridge over Fishing creek; the llarrisburg bridge; one over Kuttbush, one over Island creek; three over Grassy creek, &e. These, we learn, were washed away or rendered entirely useless; and besides almost every other bridge in the county were more or less damaged. Mr. Canady's new mill on Tar River, was carried away by the violence of the flood, together with several hundred bushels of wheat and other property. Mr. Sneed's dam, Col. T. I. Hick's dam, and Mr. Jasper Hick's dam were washed away. We are unable to give further details at present. We have conversed with no inhabitant of the county who remembers to have witnessed so destructive a freshet. It will require many thousand dollars to cov er the loss to the county and to individu als. Oxford Exam. Fayctlccille, September 9 We learn much damage has been done the Corn and Rice crops on the Cape Fear, in con sequence of the Freshet during the past week. The water rose here forty-eight feet. We have conversed with several Planters from the Cape Fear, and they agree in opinion, that the crops of Corn are lost, and they fear every thine for the Rice. The destruction of Mills and bridges must have been great and the c.nisequence is an obstruction of the M dls, some of which have been returned t this Post Office from an impossibility ti proceed. The storm docs not appear to have been so severe upon the upper Southern route. The Postmaster at Georgetown, S C note to Jno. McRae, Fsq. says the Joss of property sustained by th0 laUi Jomado in that place "will not be le than one hundred thousand dollars in dependent of the Rice crops." Add to this the loss which must have occurred from the recent Freshet, and the destruc lion of property must be immense. Ota. The late Freshet caused great de struction of Crops on the low grounds of Koanuk,.. The water is said to have been 62 feet higher than was ever before known. Raleigh Utr. State 7W. Davi.l W.
