ANECDoTE OF GOLD ROUGH AND READY
correspondent of the Philadelphia Inquirer
tells the following anecdote of Gen. Taylor
During the Florida campaign, a certain
young officer, after receiving his commission,
wasordered to Join the army in that quarter
His first duty was of course to report himselfto
General Taylor.
After very tedious journey, however,
through the woods, our officer arrived at small
shanty called a tavern, about so miles from
head quarters, where he thought proper to stay
three days There were only two vslters there,
besides himself One of them, an oldish, shah
by looking man, with black hat, minus Il
part OF the crown, and a piece Of Irvine for a
ribband, was very inquisitive, and among other
things, asked our officer, what excuse he inten-
ded to make for his delay in reporting himself
to the General.
90, said the officer, they say Taylor is a very
easy old soul, and can easily make up an ex-
cuse."
On going to bed that night, the officer asked
the landlord who that impudent, inqusitve old
fellow was? "Why," said the host, "don't you
know General Taylor" About an hour after
wards, at midnight, the tramp Of horses feet
was heard, making large tracks towards head
quarters.

TREMENDOUS HAIL STORM. A most extra
ordinary hail storm occurred near Bcllville, ILL.,,
on the Sd inst. A correspondent of the St.
Louis Republican says
The eastern stage was four or miles from this
place, near the residence Of Gov. Kinney when
the storm struck it. The hail broke through
the top Of the stage, knocked the driver down,
and the horses ran off. There was but one
passenger in the stage, young gentleman 60
ing to Salem, who succeeded in getting out be-
fore the horses got under full Roadway. have
Just seen the young man, who returned to this
place as soon as the storm abated. His hat was
knocked off, have seen it: it has three holes
knocked through, one of the holes directly on
the top, as large round as a mans fist. The
young man ran to tree, pulled off his coat
and held it over his head, and in holding his
arm was so bruised that he now carries it in a
sling. Some of the hail-stones have been
brought to this place, thee hours after they
fell, as large as mans fist.
Hogs and sheep were killed by the force of
the hail. The roof of a house near where this
passenger got out of the stage, had holes driven
through, and the windows knocked in-sash
glass, and all. have not seen any one from
the neghborhood, so as to ascertain what dam
age has really been done, or what extent of
ground was covered by the storm. Those that
have seen some of the hail stones, soon after
they fell, think that many were as large as a
mans two fists.

TOTAL DARKNEss-A' SUBLIME SPECTACLE.

the only place where total darkness was produ-
ced by the eclipse of the Sun on the 25th ult.

all animated nature gave signs Of approaching
night, man only excepted. He Of course re-
paired to the most favorable points of observa-
/ ton; but the gala day amusements which usu-
| ally accompany general turn out here, were
wanting OH this occasion. The hilarity and
mirth of our gay Dons and Senoras gave place
! to indications of chastened feelings and emoti-
ons of awe at this sublime evidence of Almigh.
ty Power. The slaves abandoned their occupa
tions, and in many cases they might be seen OIL
their knees, worshipplng our great CREATOR
Nor were they alone in this. Few could SC
far forget their dependence on God in the thick
darkness which surrounded us at mid day, as to
to refuse to worship and adore him.
The darkness came upon us gradually, and
| seventeen minutes past eleven, the sun was to-
tally obscured There stood the moon cover
ing the whole face of the sun, and presenting
the appearance of great black ball in the
heavens, with rays of light dverging from be-
hind it. The rays gave out pale aurora like
reflection upon the earth, resembling that cast
by the moon when half full This lasted only
fifty seconds, and at little past twelve the c.
clipse was ended. There was no perceptble
change in the thermometer.

CHESAPEAKE AND Ono CANAL. The an
nouncement that the money to complete this
work had been procured, was rather premature
The Civilian says:
There is good reason to believe that the con-
tractors, Messrs. Gwynn s. Co., will procure
the money adequate to their wants, through
the agency of the New York and Maryland
Mining Companies Still the negotiations can
not be hurried to close at will, however press
ing the necessity, and it is most probable that
the result will not be made known for sixty or
ninety days to come. If all is then effected for
which we hope, we shall be abundantly salts
