i 10 ne Editors of u. Enquirer:
make use OF the first opportunity to inform YOU,
that we were visited abou, O'Clock in the after
noon on yesterday by the most destructive and ,io-
lent gales OF wind and hail, which ever occurred
within the memory Of our oldest inhabitants: the
horrors oil were severely felt ard lis effects arc n
mentally visible, on of the FARMS in this neipb
bourhood; the promising corn, wheat and cotton
heids are PROSTATE and have every appearance nj
OF being entirely destroyed; at times the wind and
hail were incredibly and distressngiy violent, bring
ing with them such Hoods OF rain, that we cann6,
perceive how our dwelling houses resisted their
fury In many Of our 6ourishng and promising
gardens not vegetable left, all have tie appear-
ance OF being destroyed; the size of the hail would
vary from less than partridge egg TO that of being
mach larger, and have this moment been informed
and while write, by one of my respectable neigh
oours' that the hail was at lis house to be
equal IN size 10 walnut; tho ground was entirely
covered with the hail and where il had drifled IN
against logs, fences, houses, &c. it was beev ed

N'.B. Since writing the above and previous to
the departure of The mail, l have taken a short ex-
cursion through the neighbourhood immediately to
The Aast and West Of me, and find the fences
down In every direction, Trees in great numbers
'down down, and In some instances the roads and
pass ways almost entirely stopped. Ihave seen and
also hear OF many barns being blown down and.
cllmnies damaged.
~ We understand that this violent hail storm
has taken large sweep, at least far as the County
OF Southampton. EDITORS.

THE PRISONERS LAMENT.
From slunber's heavenly, soothing power,
When peaceful dreams have lulPd the mind,
The heart may wake to hail the hour
That dawns on pleasures unconfin'd:
Yet / can find no balm in sleep;
! Morn's glories bring no joy to me:
l only wake the day to weep
That brings ne hope of liberty.
The rising sun with golden CLEANS
Enrobes the azure, orient sky;
On every flower he darts his beams,
And dries the dew-tear in their eye:
Yet what to me, though bright and clear,
On fow'rets sweet, his beamings BEL
They will not dry the pensive tear
Ofhim who weeps for liberty
Oft i'll my childhood-hours of love!-- ~
I've WANDERED, at the morn's first ray,
Through many field and woodland grove,
And listened to the wild-bird's lay:
Alas! no more their mellow threats
Can cheer me with sweet minstrclsy:
In vain their lovely warbling floats
To him bereft of liberty.
The power of sleep no JOY can bring;
The morning beauties pass unseen;
The airy minstrelsidly sing
Their strains-but tell me what has been.
No more does nafnre,s charms unfoIds
The peaceful joys once could see:
His hopes are gone, his heart is cold,
+ Who signs in vain for liberty!

ELOPED from the farm of the subscriber,
IA about three weeks past, a negro boy
named CHARLES NORRIS, about Is or IL
years old, thin visage, small features and small
head, and when spoken to replies in a very
slow and deliberate manner. His clothing
was domestic roundabout and pantaloons of a
light color, but it is very probable that he has
changed them, He was seen at the White
House Fishery soon after he left home, and
subsequently, he passed over the river at this
place to Maryland. The above boy having
heretofore been remarkable for his good con-
duct and nothing having been done or said to
him, to justify or to induce him to abscond,
leads to the suspicion that he has been misled
by some evil disposed person. The above re-
ward will be given if lodged in the Jail of this
county, SO that get him again.

"In the little, but peaceful mansion, which you
saw the little girl enter, that have expressed
much interest for, once lived Henry MENDoN, the
pride of his parents, and an ornament to the happy
society in which it his good fortune to have
been situated and as he was naturally of cav and
lively disposition, afable and easy in his manners,
he moved the brightest and most beloved in parties
of innocent mirth and hiarity.
''Such at the age oftwenty-two was Henry Men

age of eighteen, was the lovely HARRIET ASHLEY

whom he had the happiness to learn that his love
