After-a week or two of hoi and scorching weath er, we were favored with a refreshing- shower on Monday bIast week. Then for three days near ly every cloud dropped down more or less rain. On Thursday we had heavy and quickly succeed ing YallS'Of rain, which soaked the ground thor oughly. Iirihe evening the wind shifted from the South to the South-east, and throughout the nlghl blew a perfect hurricane, accompanied by a very heavy "fall of rain. In this vicinity and throughout the county, the corn was blown down nd some of it broken off, oats and grain leveled to the ground, and the 'wheat and rye ungathered In much the .same condition. Tn various parts of the countyMrees were blown down, and blanches broken off; apples, peaches, and other fruit, shaken off. In:Stroudsburg several trees were destroyed. The Creeks were swollen to a fearful height, and in someAplaces new channels were formed. The Brfdge liver the Pocono creek, at this place, has been considerably damaged, the pierwas under mined and nearly the whole of it was swept away.

In the Burnt District of Philadelphia there were crash es of failing walls at interval, during the whole night. The RobeH Morris steamer, when within twenty miles of Cape May, was compelled to put, back, and sought a harbor at Wilmington The Kennebec, with over four.'hundred passengers, at 8 P. "M. anchored off '"Liston's," and put into Del aware City in tlje morning nil safe: The gale on the Delaware was truly frightful. The wharves along the Delaware and Schuyl kill rivers have been overflowed, and the shipping has suffered considerably. A great many small craft liaye been either sunk, filled witliwater, broken to peices, or driven from their moorings. Some ofthe brick yards in the suburbs of the. city have been greately damaged, and the telegraph wires on some of the lines are on the. ground- The steamboat and railroad lines have nearly all been disarranged, Ihe Delaware has risen in heigth, and there is a furious freshet, threatening no lit tle destruction to property, in the Schuylkill. A high store at 205 Market street, recently burnt, was blown down, and in, its fall crushed the adjoining book-store of J. B. Smith. Over eighty persons are usually at work in that store, and if the catastrophe had happened in the daytime many lives must have been, destroyed. Many roofs and chimnies were blown down. A collier sunk op posite Bristol and a Schooner a little below. Four men were drowned in a canal boat on the Schuylkill, and numbeis of canal boats floated down the torrent, some with persons aboard- Lumber, saw-logs, rails, &c. went down in abun dance. The water had not been so high for elev en years. Four men were drowned at Phcenixville, four at Conshehocken, and several persons at other points alontf the stream. Bridges were washed away from streams emp tying into the Schuylkill. Ihe water rose several feel above the isorns- .l0W1 naiiroad, So that the cars had to stoo. At Reading, Poltsville, and other places on the Schuylkill, great damage was done. Many bridg- es over small streams were swept away, and one across the Schuylkill at Schuylkill Haven wasdes- troyed. The people along the water in Reading hJ Q mQve J A cana, near pnoenjXville broke and did much damage.

It is supposed much damage was done to the ; shipping off the coast, but we have not yet found particulars in the papers. Speed of the Erie Railroad. The Express train on the Erie Railroad, on Saturday last, made the trip from Piermont to Jefferson, at the foot of Seneca Lake, a distance of 281 miles, in eight hours and twenty-six minutes. This isatthe rate of 33$ miles per hour, including stoppages. The I speed, during a great portion of the time, must have been at the rate of 40 miles .per hour. Remarkable Coincidence.

Gentlemen: Your letter of the 22d of June last was duly received, by which it appears that you were appointed a committee by the Whig State Convention, lately assembled at Philadel phia, to inform me that I was selected by the Con vention, for the office of Surveyor-General, to be supported by the Whig parly at the next, ensuing election. I feel much gratifyed upon this manifestation confidence on the part of the gentlemen compos ing that convention, and do with pride and pleas ure accept the nomination thus unexpectedly bes towed upon me ; and if elected,, will endeavor to perform the duties of the office so as to merit the the confidence thus reposed fn me. With great respect, gentlemen, I remain your obedient, hum ble servant, ' JOSEPH HENDERSON.. To J. B. Johnson, and others, Committee. 3. Porter 13 raw ley at Home. A large Locofoco meeting was recently held at Conneautville, Crawford county, which denounced the nomination of J. Porter Ilrawley, for the office of Surveyor General, and resolved, to oppose his election. It is also said that his vote.in the West generally will fall vastly short of that for the other Locofoco candidates. His prospects of success are truly beset with clouds and dangers. With no warm friends, and an organized opposition in the ranks of lu3 own party, his defeat must strike every one as more than probable. Wheal Harvest iia Illicliigaii. The Coldwaler Sentinel says, of the Wheat prospects: On the pranes west of us they have commenced (he work, and considerable Wheat is already cut. We understand that the crop turns out fine where'it is ripened. With us the prospect is belter than at any time for several years previous, and we hear it asserted that the crop on the grounds is the best raised Mnce 1838. The Hillsdale Gazette gives a good account, ofthe prospects in that County : Farmers have just commenced harvesting, and iho crop is a better one than has been realized in this section ofthe country, or in Michigan generally, accor ding to concurrent reports from different parts of the State for several years. Wheat is said to be very plump, and the heads well filled. The St. Joseph Advertiser also gtres encour aging accounts of the prospects : Our farmers are now in ihe midst of the Wheat harvest. The Wheat crop, contrary to expectations a month ago, promises abundance. There has never been a time wben the crops of grain and fruit promises a more abundant return for the farmers than the present. There may be, and probably are, some fields of Wheat ihat will not give as many bushels to ihe acre as in some former years, yet, for the most part there, will be more than an average yield with former years. There is a great increase in the num ber of acres of Wheat over any previous year, and consequently, thero. will be an increase in the amount raised. Crops m Maryland. The Baltimore Vatrot says t The Wheat crop of the Eastern Shore of Maryland, we regret to believe, will not fur nish the abundant yield which was promised fome weeks ainc.e. The injury to the crop by the ,,fiy,; and "rust" has proved far more extent aive and serious than wae at first supposed, and the general result is less than an average yield, including much that is of ordinary' qual ity. Such is the tenor o the information from various points fn that section of the Slate, -The Corn erop now promises vi efl, but rain is much, wanted. ' 4.

When .15 years old he was set to learn the trade of a clothier at which he worked for four years improving all his ?pare time in reading, books from a little , library in the village where, he; lived. At the "age of 19 he made the acquatntan.ce of Judge Wood of Cayuga Co. who detected the, latent talents .of tbe-young man, affd induced him. to. study law, for which he genorously furhiahed the meansi Mr Pilhnore, remained irr Judge Wood's office about; two,; years studying with that industry and peraeverence which have, distinguished him through life : during this lime he . also laughi school in the Winter months in order himself to provide for his expences as far as possible in 1822 he entered a law office in Buffalo and passed a year studying and teach ing, when he was admitted to t.he bar and re moved to Aurora to commence ihe ptactice of his profession. In' 1826 ho married Abigail, the daughter of Rev. Lemuel Powers ; she will no doubt hereafter preside at the White house. Several years were now mainly em ployed by Mr. Fillmore in diligent judicial stud ies, and in theimiied legal practice of a coun try town. In 1829 he was elected to the As sembly of New York and for ihrce years (du ring which lime he removed his residence to Buffalo) held a seal in that body. Here he was remarkable for his .constat.t devotion to, and unwearied industry in his duties. He took a prominent and influential part in the en actment of ihn law abolishing imprisonment for. debt. In 1832 he was elected to the XX- L 1 lid. Congress and served, creditably. In the 'Fall of 1836 lie was again returned for the same office and acted as a Member of the Committee on Elections in the famous New Jersey 'Broad-Seal' case, and in that capacity established hU reputation in the House. He was re-elected to the next Congresi and now assumed the responsible position of Chairman of the Lommtitee of Ways aud Means., In the duiies of this post at a trying crisis, he manifested -the industry, dtgniiy of bearing, efficient practical talent, and ability to secure the confidence of his colleagues which had be fore distinguished him. The Tariff of 1842 was matured by his genius. In 1S44 he was strongly urged -as the Whig candidate for Vice President, q the ticket with Henry Clay, but, being passed over, gave a heariy support to Clay and Frelinghuysen- He was afterwards elec ted by one of the largest majorities ever given by the Whig party Comptroller of theState of New York, in which office the Vice Presiden cy on the ticket wirh Gen. Taylor found him, and which he resigned to take the Presidential chair of the Senate of the United States. Mr. Fillmore is one ofthe finest looking men in the country, and is as good as he looks. His wife has long been distinguished among the ladies of Buffalo, as first in etery good' work, though naturally retiring and domestic. They have one son and one daughter. The son has just finished his education at Harvard Law School, and his daughter, a young lady of great natural and acquired mental endowments, is uow, we believe, engaged in teachtng a pub lic free school in Buffalo. Such is the man who a few days ago, possessed no power, except by a tie in one of the Honses of Con gress, but who now wields the powder and pat ronage of a great nation. Milliard Fillmore. Already have the wise ones, ofthe opposition party commenced their' tirade of aspersion against the character of this honest and upright patriot. Some affirm that he will be another John Tyler, others that. he is incapable of discharging the ar duous duties incumbent upon him as the Chief Magistrate of the Union ; but We are strongly in clined to the belief that if he was a member of their own party, he would possess in an eminent degree all necessary qualifications for his position. out he is a good v nig, and therefore, in their es timation, he is devoid of every thing requisite for a public officer. Oh! consistency, thou art a jew el! Returned Califoruisins. The Edgartown (Mass.) Gazette mentions the return lo that place from California of Messrs. S. H. Fisher, Willian Cleveland, Wm.

Snyder ; surrounded by aucffmen, nnd .'notion uer embarrassed by adverse associa tions, the Whig Governor can, without fear or difficulty, carry into successful execution all measures necessary for the public good ; for thoir election, and wtiK it, the election of & Legislative majority eo-importanlin every res peci:, we. invoke activity harmony andHcfeiy in the Whig, ranks, from one end ef the. "State to the other.- This resolution inculcates the properspirii, and if properly responded to -by the Whigs throughout the commonwealth, will be attended with results lo gladden every patriotic Whig heart in the land. Pennsylvania h ever regar ded as the great political battle ground of the nation,. and if she prove herself true to the Whig faith. ar she ill if the Whigs do their duty mantuuy asr tney aid in 1848, her exam ple will inspire the Whigs of the whole coun try with renewed zeal and energy jn the good cause. Apart from this partizan view, how ever,. the importance to the intefests ofthe com monwealth, of electing "men of character, sound politacal opinions, and large experience" such men as are presented on the Whig ticket as, associates with iho Executive in the ad ministration of ihe public affairs, cannot be o-ver-raied. It is impossible for the Governor to carry into successful execution surh measure as are necessary for the public good, without the heariy co-operation ofthe co-ordinate bran ches of the government. .Hence tins eleaion of a Whig Legislature, and a Whig Canal' Gqmt missioner and Auditor Genera), are essential requisites to insure the prosperity aud onward march of the commonwealth to that highth of power and glory to which she is one day. des tined to arrive, and tu which her great resour ces and importance entitles her. She can only arrive at this point of eminence, however, through the successful operation of Whig principles and Whig measures, and they can only be secured by the election of Whig memo administer her public affairs. The Whigs have proved themselves the majority party in the State in all contests in which the full strength of both parties was polled. Thus, in the contest of 1848, bosh for Governor and President, our opponents were thoroughly uni ted, and polled the largest vote they ever had in the State, yet we beat ihemat bo'h elections This gratifying result was produced by- the zeal and .acuvity of our Whig irtends in getting our vote to the polls t and proves incontesiibly, that whenever the proper efforts are made we can and will be successful. Shall these eff orts for success in the pending campaign be made now 1 We hope so, and trust that every leading Whig in the State, in view of the im portance ofthe contest, will buckle on his 3r mor and prepare for the fight. We cannot be gin too soon, aud cannot 100 earnestly engage in the work, and therefore, in the language of the resolution of the State Convention, " ice in voke ACTIVITY, HARMONY and FIDEL ITY in the Whig ranks, Jrom one end pj the State to the other." . " ' . Eiiropeau Wages; A little book published in England in 1836, states that in Denmark, notwithstanding Sunday is near ly as much a work day as any other, the wages of laborers do not usually amount to more than 15 ($75) a year. Women earn about 4d (8 cents) a day. The united earnings of a family, consis ting of a labourer and his wife and three or four children, will not enable them to purchase anything better as food than rye bread, bad milk cheese, and butter and poor coffee ; to which must be ad ded tobacco and snuff, and cheap bad spirits; which they consume in large quantities. The weekly earnings of a spinner are 6s. or 7s. ($1,02) and those of a. weaver are from 7s. to 12s. ($1,62 1-2 to $1,87) This is the kind of labor that the free American citizens are compelled to contend with under" the free trade system. Ocean transportation is cheap, and Denmark can send a ton of herproducts to New England, quite as cheap as. they can be .se nt from the interior of Pennsylvania. Under tHese circumstances, how is it possible to maintain good prices for labor in this country, with such a corm petition from abroad? Legislative Election. New-Orleans. Tuesday, JulyC?.
