Great Hail Storm.

LEBANON, Boone Co., Nov. Sth, lo4I.
EDITORS STATE SENTINEL During the last few
days, the weather here has been extremely warm for
this Of the year, and We have had an exhlb-
ton of what nature can do in the way of rain and
hail If it about the 21st OF January, we
might say, in the language of the poet, now comes
Aquarius with all his Showers" but since 1t is not,
am inclined to believe that Sagittarius has stolen
march on Scorpio, and instead of using the arrow, as
he is won't he has lain aside that weapon aud betaken
himself to throwing haIlstones; at least would
think So from the hail fall we had in this vicinity last
night. About ii o'clock, p. NJ, thunderous cloud
hung this REGION and, for WHILE the rain fell
in perfect torrents, accompanied with heavy thunder,
and the most vivid flashes of lightning when suddenly
the rain partially ceased falling, and then, for few
minutes, the most extraordinary hail fell that ever
witnessed.
After the storm had subsidized gathered number
of hailsones, each of which was about two inches
and a half in diameter. | have not heard of any
damage having been done by it, but it certainly
large enough to kill fowls, and other small animals.
Believe me yours. truly, 5. NEAL.

Lieut.. Col. May and "A Give Mexican.'

When Lieut.. Col. May. of the 9th Indiana Regi-
ment, was leading the 4" Montgomery Boys" from
Charlottesville to this City, short time since, that
they might take the cars for Madison, he approached
public house. and wished to get accommodation for
HIMSELF his Lady, and some of his men, The land
lord happened belong to the American branch OF
the Mexican Nation, and therefore refused the slight
est accommodation TO this gallant and gentemanly
officer his Lady, and to the hungry and thirsty volun-
teers who had Just left their friends and homes at the
call of their country. He even refused to let them
have drink Of cold odte, for which they fam
ishing-to prevent which, he took off and hid the
pump handle. This so incensed the volunteers that
they were about to administer TO him some kind OF
chastisement when the COL stepped up and said, in
substance, "Boys, this is a live Mexican-dou't touch
either him or any thing he has, nor don't buy any
thing from him leave him to his countrymen, his
conscience, and his God" family of new settlers,
mile or two this side, threw open their doors, fur
nished all they could, and refused any compensation,
save that Of good conscience, which always has its
reward.
A friend, in whom we have full confidence, fur
nishes US the above. We would like TO know it the
tavern keeper alluded to does not read the Indiana
Journal!

HORRIBLE BRUTALITY.-The N. o. La Patria con-

sassnation burnings and rObberes by the Indians in
the district of Valadolid -
On the 9th ult., they burned the building of a
plantation, with variety of property, robbing the
chapel attached to it of its sacred vessels. On the
next day they attacked another rancho and killed the
inmates. On the 9th, they attacked another plana-
tion, in which were only lady, her daughter, and
son, youth. The women were tied, stripped, and
subjected to the most brutal outrages The boy,
coming up TO beg that their lives might be spared the
leader of the savages, with blow of his sword split
open his skull and then cut off portion Of his body
fastened it still living and bleeding to his nostrils
with the fbres that bound il TO the mutilated
body Not content with this, they took out the heart
of the boy and divided it among the band After this
they robbed the house of $1,000 in gold and silver,
and went away, leaving the women for dead /; they
afterwards recovered. The number of banditti en-
gagged in these atrocities is said TO be not more than
200. The troops sent against them commanded
by Don Manuel OLIVIA but yet they have found
the savages.

forms a correspondent of the New York Herald that
upon his own account, he proposes going down to
Mexico, with his two beautiful portable pieces olight
artillery, with all the necessary fixed ammunition,
horses, harness and men. The correspondent says,
Judging from experiments which have seen hereto
fore with said artillery, they viii be the most eff

supply of provisions and to take his trains through,
under his command, at his own expense, and by
means of the arms Of his own invention and manu-
facture.

GIVE copy, in another column. the account given
by the Peoples Friend" of the assault recently
made upon Senator Hannegan, at Covington (which
grossly misrepresented by the Charlottesville
"Press," and notice Of which, from the Cincinnati
Gazette now travelling the rounds of the newspa-
pers We omit of the nine afidavits of differ
ent persons by which the truth Of this account is sub
stantiated. What copy, however, is full enough
to show that the misrepresentation Of the affair by
the Charlottesville paper is, morally just as bad as
the assault itself was wicked and cowardly. The
Indiana Journal is so well satisfied Of this, that in
copying the article Of the " Friend" it says
ave have carefully read the certificates referred
to- and they conclusivey establish the fact that the
attack upon Mr.. Hannegan was made without giving
him any notice, and that instead of Mr. HIS having
injured Mcdonald last fall at Attca, he prevented
others doing it. We hope those who enforce the
criminal law in Fountain county will do their duty,
and teach that outrage Of such character
not be committed with imDunity'
Is it asking too much of the Cincinnati Gazette, to
solicit it to give fair of this matter,
measure of justice to this State, as well as to Mr..
Hannegan!

BANK OF ENeLAND.-The financial difficulties pre-
vaing in England have given rise to some strange
notons-some, on one extreme, advocating the abro-
cation of all metallic currency, and using nothing
but paper, to be made ad ibitum, as wanted land
others, contending against bank paper the real
of the evil existing, and especially against the
National Bank A London correspondent. of the Ma
tional Era writes as follows:
"Among the defaulters of late times, there have
been three four directors Of the Bank of England
their places have lately been filled up by other and
we hope better men, But the truth is, that CONNER
ca people losing much of their confidence in that
heterogeneous establishment and there is very great
disposition freely about the claims it has
to its present position. Apropos 4 book has Just
been published entitled the History of the Bank,
its Times and its Traditions" by John Francis, and,
as you may not Immediately see the two volumes, |
send you very fair sketch of them in the Morning
Advertiser, and some important remarks the ORR
Gin of the establishment The writer of the book,
for his own connection with the bank, knows what he
writing about; and his book has, In addition, a
great deal Of sprightliness and reliability.
1.-The power of the Bank 10 create confusion and,
in some cases. ruin is too well known here to require
any proof; and believe the conviction is now gath
ering strength in London among great commercial
men, that they ought to secure themselves against
mighty machine which, by its capricious and ill.,
timed movements. may do them unexpected and ire
parable damage"
The influential newspaper, the Times, also assails
the Bank Here is specimen of its arguments:
"At periods when tile slightest show of liberality,
even for twenty-four hours, would at once serve to
check the vague apprehensions which the occurrence
of three large failures is to create (and
which apprehensions, in their effect, are far more
dangerous than any real event that could possibly
happen,) the Bank is always in embarrassment and,
so far from protecting others, is to be engaged
in sudden and desperate efforts to protect ITSELF thus
giving the tone to every minor establishment, and
causing universal tmdity to ensue, when everything
depends upon the bodness of sclfpossession. Up to
yesterday there was a-pervading cautiousness in
the money market, but there was no panic. The
Bank, however. has begun to act, and now there is
general confusion"
