COMMUNICATIONS.
SLAVE LABOR.
[For The Press.}
! fYVhile we do not concur with our distin
guished correspondent in his special views,
W 0 spread his communication before our
readers.—Ed.]
Much has-been said of late relative to tho
Value and availability of negro stave labor in
certain pursuits and portlous of tho United
States, as compared or in' competition with
free white labor. It has been said that the
former .cannot successfully compete with the
latter in tho grain-growing or manufacturing
States-j-tbat climate will determine tho locale
of tho first, and therefore it cannot succeed or
maintain itself in the .latitudes of Kentucky,
Virginia* Missouri, Kansas, or north of them.
Now all this is truo, only undor a combination
of artificial facte. Negro slave labor, at one
time, was entirely successful in all tho Northern
States, and could easily bo made so again,
and to extend over all tho territories, Tho
artificial facts to which wo allndo will be
found not in any distiuctivo characteristics of
the two.races, but in the. legislation of the
country, tliat; for fifty years or more, has pro
hibited the introduction of negro slaves, and
encouraged tbs immigration of free whites.
During this period several millions of free
white laborers have come into the couutry, and
not one negro slave. Thus have the white
laborers been pushing tho negroes more and
morolothe South, and thus has white labor
been kept comparatively cheap and plenty.
Ads to this tho increasing and great demand
for tho products of tho Southern States—cot
ton, sugar, tobacco, and rice—which has been
materially augmented by reduced production
of these articles through the abolition of negro
slavery in portions of tho "West Indies and
South America.
ThoBo fads have withdrawn, and ns long as
they continue will withdraw, slave labor from
tho North.to tho South, where these articles
are produced, leaving tho northern parts
of tiie United States to be worked, by tho,free
white laborers. In tills respect climate may
and will have somo influence in determining
tho hltimato limits of the two races, heenuse
whito labor cannot work in tho open fields of
the lower Southern parts of the United States,
and therefore has its limits.
But lot tbeso fads cease to exist, and what
would bo the consequences 1 Repeal the laws
prohibiting tho slave trade, and those against
negro slavery in tho different States—allow
tho holding of negro slaves in all the Statos
as it was under tho colonial authorities, in
tho Northern States as it is in tho Southern
States now, and a vory different stato of things
would soon exist. ; Half the ships that are now
lying idle in Boston and all tho rivers and
bays of. Now England would soon ho found on
tho coast of Aftica, tailing in cargoes of
negro slaves, and not a few “ live Yankees ”
be found there “ trading ” lor them, or, por
haps,‘« catching them in tho bnsh.”
As soon as this fleet of slaves returned to this
co,untry tho price pf negroes would fall. In
stead of good field hands selling for one thou,
sand- or..iifteon hundred dollars each, they
would soon sell for two hundred and may be
for one .hundred dollars.. Tho South would
soon he fully supplied, and cargoes ho imported
into the Northern ports of Boston, New York,
Philadelphia, and elsewhere, and no doubt find
ready Sale. Healthy, docile, able-bodied men
and women for ono hundred dollars would
doubtless find purchasers oven hero.
Under this state of facts—which would only
bo tho removal of present “restrictions,” and
leaving climato alone to settlo tho question—
negro slave labor would bo found competing
with white free labor’ in most of the Territories
and States of the Union. How far, and how
successful, would bo determined by the Bupply
of negro slaves that could ho obtained, and
the number of free whito immigrants that
might come in competition with them. Tiio
latter would no doubt he considerably dimin
ished, as the need of their services and the
prico of their labor would be reduced by tho
number of negro slaves imported.
In this ylew of tho subject wo have only re
ferred .to consequences likely to follow tho
mero repeal of tho prosunt laws prohibiting
tho importation of negro slaves into the
United States, and their employment in coi’-
tairt States. Should wo aid the free importa
tion and use of negro slaves, by adopting what
has been tho great design of tho “American”
parly,' tho prohibition of tho immigration of
white laborers, which would bo effectually
dpne by refusing thorn the political privileges
they have always onjoyed in this country,' tho
spread of negro sluvo labor would be very consi
derably increased. Instead of hundreds of thou
sands of free white immigrants coming among
us each year and no negroes, wo fear we would
soon have'hundreds'Of thousands of nogroes
coming among us and no whites.
Bat as it is not probable the ultra Southern
notion of O repealing the laws prohibiting the
slave trade,” nor that of the « Americans”
disfranchising foreigners shall prevail, nor’that
tho Northern Statos will tolerate slavery again!
we may not anticipate tho consequences that
have been supposed would follow them,
PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1857.
Thoro are other facts, however, that may
exist that will have great influence in fletor.
mining the question at issue. Tlio success of
the effort now boing mado by Groat Britain
and Franco to introduce negrd selui-gluvo
laborers into the southern colonies is not tho
least of them. Should this prove entirely,
successful, it would ultimately liavo almost as,*
great an influunco upon tin) relative positiolilj
of negro and white labor in this country,
as would tho re-opening of tho slave
trade as ahovo described. Millions of
laborers, under this cocrcivo system, could
no doubt he obtained in Africa —enough,
to cultivate all the southern colonics owned
or governed by European nations,' and porhaps
also a greater part of lower Southern America.
This could not but seriously affect slave labor
in tho United States, by competing with its
products in the markets of the world, increas
ing their value as well as tho demand ; fOF
them. ,'i. .
Tf this scheme provo Successful—that lay
should its, results bo .what its friends say they,
will, to improvo tho negro ruce, und furnish ft’
supply of good laborers for tho white race—’
may it not extend, nftor fully supplying tho
southern countries, to the North, and find its
Way into tho United States} The Re
publican sympathy for tho negroes, and the
“American” hatred of foreigners, might, if
the Government wore in their hands, carry out
their plans by the union of both. Tho ultra-
Southerncrs who desiro to ro-open tho slave
trado might join them, and adopt tho samo
slavc-trado scheme, as tho next best mode, of
strengthening the negro interest.
Thoro are numbers of other ways by which
the relations of slave and free labor may lie
affected besides those hero Btatcd. Enough
has been suggested, however, to show that
climate alono will not likely sottlo tho ques
tion in Ibis country, or in the world at large.
Wliile labor has been gradually, and, recently,
rapidly rising in value in most parts of the ci
vilized world, notwithstanding tiro incrediblo
labor that is performed by labor-saving ma
chinery.
Various attempts have been made, 01-9
makiug.aud being proposed, to meet the grow,
ing deficiency that has caused, and is causing;
this rise by tho introduction of the labor of
others than tho white race; from China, India,
and Africa. To soino of these we may refer
again. Tills questiou—the question of labor—
is the great question of tho day and ago, and
of absorbing interest to the world as woll as to
the United States.
SYMAIKS’S HOLE.
[Forthe Press.)
'A communication in your paper of yesterday, in'
regard to “ Syrames’s Hole,” has this sentenco:
“The folly of visionary men often becomes com
mon-place,” A0.,A0.
I am a visionary man myself, sir, and would
like, with your permission, io take tip tho cudgols
in behalf of that race porsoentod by their contem
poraries, ndored by posterity. If it wore not for
visionary men, sir, tho world would stagnate into a
material aiy. If I had leisure, I think I oould dfr
monstrato that tho more far-seeing a thinkor is in
reality, tho more visionary ho is to those with less
mental visiod than himself, lie perceives
“ —tho far-off mountain tops of distant thought*,
Which men of common stature never saw."
Copt. Symmcs’s theory doservod attention,* as do
all ingontous theories, and I havo no doubt it has
dono its fair share of duty as an incentive to
modern explorers to tho polar regions, as the read
ing of Plato’s Atlantis is said to havo fired, tho mind
of Columbus, and tbo belief in tho fountain of
Hfo «t-Curt-Or. off in seareh-nf lt_ Jfed Syiuroo*'
found“ visionary inen ”to aid him, ho would bay®
anticipated modern discoveries.
Tho lato Dr. Kano was as “visionary” a roan
as I ever had the pleasure of conversing with.
Circumstances aided him in putting somo of his
visions into prnotice. It is told of Democritus
the youngor, another “visionary,” that ho pro
nounced tho Milky Way a vast collection of sepa
rate stnrs. Tho old fogies of his day pronouncod
this blasphemy against Juno, who had spilled her
milk on this celestial pathway. Lord Rosso’s
telescope Imß demonstrated the truth of tho vision
of Democritus, and consigned to that otomal con
tempt which Is the punishment of ignorant pre
sumption, both tho old fogic3 and their “milky
mother.”
As to Andrew Jackson Davis, ho is undoubtedly
avisionary of tho wildest kind, and needs that sort
of correction which Jupltor Inflicted upon Flueton;
but his books teach peoplo to soar into regions of
thought that need exploration; and ono of the
profoundcst othnological inquirers of tho dny ac
knowledged to mo that many of Davis's assertions
on ethnological points wore confirmed by tho beat
scientific authorities of the day.
It will not do for tho purely practical thinker to
despise us “visionaries.” Wo dream while tho
rest ofhuniamty sleep, and can only expect tho
realisation of our wondrous dreams in that future
to whioh all truo minds arc looking forward.
CORRESPONDENCE.
FROM SUSttUEIIANNA COUNTY.
[From our corresjiomlent “Greybeard,”]
Great Benp, Susquehanna C 0.,)
September 14,1857. j
Having been, as you roinombor, too late for tbo
five o’clock train to Now York on Tuesday evening,
I was obliged to t&ko what is significantly style!
tho “owl lino,’’ which left tho Kensington dopot it
ono o’clock on Wednesday morning. Notfeelirg
In the best trim to court tho luxury of a eloeplas
night, I at oneo, after procuring my tiokotj rusted
for “ car B,” (which car, tho conductor had tho jo
litencS3 to inform us, meant tbo first ear .we oainc to
with a vacant scat,) in hopes of procuring a wbdo
goat, in which to obtain, if possible, acomfortalio
snoozo. But I had not made tho tour of raoro thin
seven-eighths of tbo train, before all my proviws
ornithological knowledge respecting tho pem-
Har habits of tho nocturnnl bird wo wore
to represent was utterly sot at variarco
with my experiences; for lo! evory ra«lo
“owl” in tho train had appropriated an entiro
seat to himself, and with tho utmost dcliberatbn
was cuddling np for a railroad excursion to lie
“ land of nod”—ovon tholudy “owls” woro nigit
capped for a nap. I still my onward course p»r
sued; out of ono door—into anothor door; o/es
right, oyes left; back—back, and finally, just Vo
fore reaching tho jumping-off place, (litorallyJ 1
found nside-soat, in dimensions nbout twelvo incies
by two feet six, which lookod, indoed, to bo aty
tbing elso than an inviting berth, but thou it lad
the singular felicity of being, unoccupied bwljoh
was quite a sufficient recommendation undor tho
circumstances to'insure for it my noooptamo.
Folding’my shawl about my head and Rhrnl*
ders, and comprosslng my nether extreni
tios into a succession of vory nouto
I was silly enough to imagines that tho
shado of Morpheus could bo successfully in
voked in this ridiculous predicament. The sars
of heaven marched far above üb, and tho kon
track flow fastbonooth üb, but tho balm of scop
shed not its soothing pollin upon ray wakeful <yo
ballf*. “ Sloop cumo not to my eyes, nor alunber
to my oyolids.” AVhnt a night for moditatun!
What an attitude for expansive thought!! lialf
past four brought us to Jorsoy City. Our trip
across tho Hudson at that hour was really grind
and oxbilarnting; tho stars still gloamcd above in
their midnight glory, (a magnifioeut array of ion
, stellations and planetary orbs there appoarod,too,
at this hour of tho morn). That noblo river, now
receiving its first agitation for tho day, lookel in
its unruffled calmness as if just rousing front its
slumbers, and gontly moving upon its humid bed.
Five o’clock landod us at tho foot of Conrtlmdt
street, and as tho next train ovor thp NowTork
and Brio road was announced to loavo at sir, I
had just one hour to perform tho operation of ex
tricating a luxurious deposit of railroad soil from
my face and whiskers, got my brcnkfnst—whieb I
did at tho “ Merchants”—and return to tho dipot.
At six precisely wo started for Syracuse, ovor tho
above-named road, by way of Binghamton.
Now for a word or two about this celubratod Now
York railroad.
Tho reador who has never yot passed ovir It
hns a field of romantic discovery still open in this
direction, whioh ho should not fail somo diy to
ombraco tho opportunity of enjoying.
Leaving the depot,at Jorsoy City, wo pass n)rth
ward somo twonty miles, whoro wo cross tho Jjrsoy
lino into tho Stato of Now York. In roashing
this lino, we havo pnssod several broad, Flow
running streams, running through iramonso flita—
largo, prnirio-liko alluvial deposits. Tho first
county of Now York that wo ontor Is ItookUnd—
asootion, by tho way, whioh tho observing tourist
will admit has not boon inappropriately named.
Tho,firstof that boulder formation of rocks, vhich
is traced in a southwesterly, direction through
nearly tho entire longtli of the United States and
tho Canadas, is hero ontered, and nppgarß &t in
tervals for,sovoral,miles along the road. Wo soon
leave Rookland, however, in our rapid flight across
this excellent road, and ontor tho county of Orange,
of whioh the town of Goshen 1b the most striking
feature. The country surrounding this town is ex
tremely fortilo, and taking the Egyptian Goshen
of the Scriptdros for' a criterion, we may say that
Goshen is as appropriately named for its exhnuM
less treasures of butter nnd milk ns Rockland is
for |ts rooks; as, who has not hoard of Goshen but
ter ? Aye, nnd tasted it too, or at least butter
taken from firkins labelled “Goshon”“for it must
bo Mime in mind that on the butter question, at
loort, thoro i‘t something “in a name,” aud ac
cordingly, notwithstanding tho fact that saurooly
a pound of butter is now made in this region, ex
copfc for homo use, (tho dairies having adopted tho
milk business exclusively since tho iailioad baa
brought them tho facility, of getting it to market,)
yet casks of “ Goshon butter” are multiplying
from year to year. . On reaching tho western lino
of Orange county wo enter tbo valley of tho Novor
cink. boautifuily hemmed in by two lofty ranges
of mountains.
■ A very important point on our route is Port
Jervis. As v?o approach this stopping, tho waters
of our beautiful Delaware mnko tho heart of a
Philadelphia!*, who for tho first time obtains a
glimpse of theso incipient waters of his own noble
yiycr, bound within him.
A few uples south ,Qf, this point, a.rook, in .tho
jtifer marks tho uniting point of Pennsylvania,
,J?ow York,' and New Jerstiy. Many avail them
selves of tho opportunity of making this geographi
cal distribution of themselves,'by going down to
the rook and spreading themselves oat a rub-fashion
in ordor to bo able to say that thoy had boon in
throe Stotos at once; though it must bo admitted
that a man may ho fn - even a laxger number of
Mates than this, in a very short period of time, as,
•for oxnraple, tho man who got “tight” on his wed
ding, day,, and travelled from Now Haven to
Baltimore!
A short distance beyond this point wo cross tho
Delaware into Pennsylvania, whon wo at onoo en
ter a region of tho wildest sublimity, tho rond in
places bring for miles absolutely hewn out of the
steep side of a solid' mountain of rook. Alpine
heights and imihense p -coipiccs alternately flank
the train on either sido as it flios along its rock
hewn traok with frightful velocity.
While ou tho Pennsylvania sido wo atoin Wayno
county, und after continuing in whioh for about
thirty miles wq rqcross tho Delaware and pursnoits
east bank through a'region so primitive In its
wildness, and so unfit for cultivation, that human
habitations are scnrooly to bo seen, and when they
appear are generally but tho merest shanties. A
passage of noarly a hundred miles along tho two
banksof the Delaware will bring us to Us first
branch, tho Indiau namo of whioh is Popacton.
Grossing this stream a short distaneo above their
confluence, wo pursue our way across tho inter
vening mountain for a few miles, when we reach
the west branch, tho Coquago. W 0 arc now ready
to toavo- tho Delaware, but wo will not leavo it
.without a partingsigh, for it has afforded usa fcaat
of tho sublime, the picturesque, and tho beautiful,
too impressive to bo soon forgotten. We will pur
sue our way to nloro toworing heights, ’tis truo—to
more frightful lenp3, wo will admit; but nothing
nritl again greot our charmed vision with a more
endearing variety of tho romantio in nature, along
the line of the Erio Railroad, than the panorama
just witnessed of tho boautlful Delaware.
, On leaving Coquago, (beautiful name,) wo at once
dive, into tho great dividing mountain ridgo be
tween this point oud the Susquehanna. Themoun
th»n wo are now to leap, and which formorly oc
cupied a long night’s travel by stage, we shall now
,oross,within the brief epaco of thirty minutes.
Higher aud bighor wo asoond this northern ridge
of the Appalachian chain, until tho terrific rever
berating yell of tho engine whistle announces that
wo are ontering tho immenso cut across tho summit
of tho mountain, which has „ hero an elevation
above tide-water of about 1700 foot.
Tbo scone all round is one of commanding deso
lation. Gray heights of rugged rock, dotted with
the charred timbers of a burnt-up forest, are con
spicuous lu tho picture. But wo are .nearing the
top at a tremendous volocitv; in another instant
wo have passed the summit, and are now literally
dcwn ihe ducD-grado on the_west of the
mountain at tho' rato of sixty miles nn hour* If
thoro is anything in tbo universe mpro desperately
dovillsh and infuriated in its fury than the ap
pearance of this mountain world as it now flies past
ua at the rntoof a milo a minute, while wo are
standing on the platform with tho viow of tustiug
our holding-on powers to their utmost capacity, I
have yet to witness It. At this spoed wo shall havo
littlo tirno to expatiate upon tho awful flight which
wo havo made ticror-s tho most commanding emi
nonco upon tho whvlo length of the road, before
wo uro suddenly whirled across a bridge ono hun.
dred and eighty-four feet high, spanning a narrow
ravino not over two hundred and fifty feet in
width.
Wo noxt obtain our first glimpse of tbo fair and
and placid Susquehanna, and in tbo next instant
are thuudoring no was it at a fearful altitude abovo
its mirror-like bed beneath us. Making a sudden
Circuit at this point, wo are again hugging tho Sue*
quobonna, and shall now follow its dovious wind
logs for sovoral miles upon its northern bank. But
before pursuing our way further westward along
tho river bunk, wo must romind tho reader that
he is again to bo allowod tbo pleasure of paying
hU respects to the glorious old Keystone.
The Susquehanna, at tho point wo have just
crossed it, is pressing forward with a smile
toward tho Stato of her adoption, but her
hopes for tho prcaont arc to bo disappointed.
A circling and very abrupt ridge of mountains,
but a BhOrt distance below our crossing point, sud
denly interrupts hor in hor southward oourso, and
beingcompollod to cbangohorcourso turns lcisuroly
westward, and a little further onward, in a slow
and Inanimate mood, turns evon to tho northward,
thus forming upon tho whole n groat bend in tho
rivor, tho southern margin of which just dips bolow
tho Pennsylvania lino. Tho town, situated in this
coil, is oallod tho villngo of Groat Bond, and is
about midway on tho northern boundary of Sus

Tho timo allowed tis to ohange cars at Bingham,

fast from tho timo of my early breakfast, In Now
York, until wo arrived at Syracuse at six o’clock
in tho evening—a very practical tort of n way for
sharpening a man’s appetite, but decidedly moro
prosy than pleasant. Tho importance of attend
ing to our gustatory demands grow into quite an
idea with your correspondent beforo ho reached
Syracuse, and had ho not soon found rolief, it
would most likely havo resulted in ti popular poem
entitled “Nothing to Eat!” but inasmuch as hla
appotite, and hie determination to write tho pocin,
vanished simultaneo sly, ho has been spared tho
pates and tho world tho infliction.
Syracuse is indoed qnito acitv—a rogular young
metropolis. It has 30,000 inhabitants, is pubstnn
tially and elegantly built, and presents an ap
ponrnneo of thrift and enterprise'equal, if not
euporior, to any inland town I have over visited.
Its immenso salt works are the socrct of its groat
prosperity, and thoy are ccrtninly a great feature
of interest to tho Ainorican traveller. But I havo

, On the morning of 9th inßfant (Wednesday) the
wind was from the northwest, and a 4 the day
advanced it increased io* a very severe gale,
obliging ua to lay to and endeavor to hold the
steamer m during the storm. During fee days of
Thunday 101 h, Friday, 11th, and Satanlay, lilh
Instant, the storm increased very forcibly, and
blew a perfect hurricane.
_ On Sunday, the 13th instant, the wind suddenly
changed to the southwest, when we made Cape
Lookout. When fee Empire City was about ten
mileafrom the light-houso, which h built on the
shoals, there wa saw a dismasted barque ashore*
This was at four o’clock in the afternoon. The
bkrque was a naw one; having a white streak of'
paint around her waist. We could not make out
her name. She- had only, her mUseomaet stand
ing, and lav light in the water as if she had little
cargo on board- There were eight or ten persona
to bo seen pn her decks. The Empire Cih* eonld
not afford any aid to the barque, as Captain Mc-
GoWan considered the steamship herself in mat
danger at that moment.
°“ Monday, the 14th instant, the Empire City
reached Cape Hatteras. The wind was then blow
ing very furiously from fee, southwest, and carried
away our sails, besides damaging fee ship. We
were then short of coal, and were compelled to
commence to burn fee furniture and appurtenan
ces of fee vessel, a& well as part of the steamer her
self, in order to keep up steam and so reach Nor
folk. In this way we consumed her wheel houses,
tho benches, tables, chairs, coal-boxes,- and every
combustible moveable thing we could place hands
on. ../ .
We finally reached Norfolk on Tuesday, the 15th
instant, in the morning, in a very exhausted con
dition, and with all our fuel and provisions run out.
We |were quarantined st Norfolk, and were not
permitted to land. Upon this' about fifty of the
P l f s6l3 £® r B of fee Empire City embarked at Old
Point Comfort for,Baltimore, in order to run home
by the different railroads. ’
■After arrirfng fit Norfolk, Captain McGowan
took fee matt bags 1 to fee post office, bat the
postmaster refused to receive them, and the
captain was compelled to take them back to fee
steamer.
f During Tuesday, the 16th inst., we received
alongside the Empire City, at Norfolk, <me hun
dred and twenty-five tons of coal and a supply of
provisions. The Empire City will leave Norfolk
for New York as soon as she is put in order and
has had the necessary repairs dope to her machi-
Eery. When I left, Captain McGowan said he'
would leave on the night of Thursday, tho*l7th, or
morning of Friday, the 18th insk, if possible, as he
was Tory anxious to get to this city.
BELIEF FOB ‘ THE KISSING STtAkSHIP CENTBAL
AMERICA.
; The United States Mail Steamship Company
have ordered fee Daniel Webster, which sails to
day, to keep in the track of the Central America,
now three days overdue, in fee ’ hope* that if any
accident h*d befallen her i* the late terrifiegale
fee may be < aide to. aid her.: The Webster takes
out an ample supply of provisions. The Central
America is considered a staunch and well appoint
ed ship,' but fee severity of the late storm, and her
unusual delay in Arriving; give , cause for some
anxiety, at least, if not alarm. There are some
600 souls on board. ahd thls'disaster would be fear
ful should abb hate perished.

TBS GALS AT WILMINGTON, X. C.
{From the Wilmington (Ji. C.) Herelfl, Sept. 14.}
i Immense quantities of . rain fell daring Friday,
Saturday, and yesterday, and. as a consequence,
the water courses, ponds, creek's, Ae., were swollen
to an unusual extent, and mneh damage was done
by overflows, carrying away of bridges, dc,
I Here in town the effects of the storm are appa
rent in the number of ’ trees uprooted, and of
branches twisted off and scattered about the dif
ferent streets. Many fences have been blown
down, and some slight damage done to booses.
> The train from the north due in the evening of
the day arrived at about the usual hour, but
honld' not reach the shed where passengers are
landed in consequence of heavy drifts of sand near
the track on the ride of the hill, just beyond the
depot buildings. The immense rains swept large
quantities of sand over the rails, and tho passage of
the care was blocked. The passengers by this train
remained' where they were during tho night, and in
the morning, when the violence of the storm bad
abated, left their temporary hotel for more com
fortable quarters.
Tho damage to the shipping on. the coast we
fear very extensive. The loss of the barque
Colin Mcßae, a new and beautiful vessel, and
bwned principally here, is especially to be re-
f retfod. She had just reached the bar on her
omeward trip from England, and in endeavoring
to ride out the gale, parted chains and went ashore.
The gale does not seem, from accounts received,
to have extended far into tho interior.
-We cannot tell what damage the rice crops have
sustained, but hope that it is but slight.
(From the Wilmington (N. C.J Commercial, Sept. 15.]
; A storm commenced on Friday night last, from
'the northeast, and continued with great severity
from the same quarter till Sunday morning, when
the wind shifted to tho northwest, and finally
to thesonthwest. The severity of the storm ceased
on the change of the wind. Much damage was
'done to trees, fences, Ac., but nothing of & very
serious nature occurred within the limits oi the
jtown, though the wind at times blew with great
■{fur 7. We ao not know how far south it extended,
jbut not much of it was felt with us north of Wei
!don, and Saturday was a very pleasant day in
Norfolk and Portsmouth, as we learn; so this can
.nol pass for the autumnal equinox, for which we
are still to look. We are fearful we may have to
jrecord other disasters on the sea coast, where the
’storm raged most severely, from what we can at
ipresent learn.
