THE RECENT SToRx.-The late storm
was unusually severe in Georgia, the Car
olinas, and some parts of Virginia, caus-
ing an interruption of intercourse between
various points, and causing great injury to
the crops of cotton, corn and tobacco.
Throughout Georgia it was extremely dis
astrous, and many planters on the finest
and richest lands, lose four-flths of their
crops. In the vicinity Of Milledgeyille,
and also CT Newbern, n. c., the crops
were almost entirely destroyed. At the
latter place, three vessels lying at anchor,
the Medal Plat, the Clara Fisher, and
Boutwell,, dragged their anchors, and were
driven ashore, but were gotten off the next
tide, without having sustained any very
serious damage. The Roanoke valley was
also inundated to a most alarming extent,
and the crops of wheat, tobacco and corn
entirely submerged.

The Convention.

BY the following article, taken from last
fridays State Journal it will be perceived
that our Senatorial delegate has been tai ling
in opposition to the adjustment Of the Grand
Jury System, and against the incorporation
of any Banks. We shall endeavor to get a
report OF his speech on the latter subject, and
ascertain how far Democracy has progressed
in this region:
THE CoNvENTIoN.-Yester morning a
petition was presented by MIR. Pepper of Ohio,
which he stated was signed by the two As
sociate Judges Of that county, every member
of the last Grand Jury, and Il number of her
citizens in favor of the abolition of the G aad
Jury. The Convention resolved after dis, as
sion, 10 have only morning sessions. after hext
Monday, till otherwise ordered, the argument
urged by its supporters being TO give time 10
the Committees to digest and prepare reports
for action.
The Grand Jury discussion was then re-
sumed. Judge Lockhart and DR.. Foster,
spoke against, and Col. Taylor, OF Laporte,
in favor OF It's abolition. III the afternoon
MIR. Hovey spoke in defence of the Grand
Jury. Mr.. Holman also spoke, iavoring the
Grand Jury, but advocating its being left an
open question by the Convention, Messrs.
Bascom and Wolf also spoke against Mr.
Petiit's resolution. and in favor Oh the con
iinuance Of the Grand Jury.
Before the adjournment, Mr.. Rariden, BY
consent, introduced resolutions relative 10 Cor.
porations and Banks. Its provisions relative
TO Banking authorizes the extension of the
the State Bank Charter TIL lS65-an in-
crease in the State and individual stock Ia
the branches, and allowing the Legislature
in 1862 TO re-charter this or another State
Bank. Judge Lockhart introduced another

mated that about 1000 fugitive slaves are
gathered in the villages of Maiden, Sandwich,

given up the barracks to lodge them in. 1t
is said shc barns and vacant houses, up and
down the Detsoit river, are full. The lower
ports on Lake Ontario are also reported so full
OF them, that the back settlements in Canada
have more arrivals than they can feed and
that the cars and steamers every arrival bring

ference.
The negotiations between Austria and
Prussia are less likely than ever to result
iavorably for the project of union and CO.
operation between the two Kingdoms.
The elections in Wurtemburg have re-
suited in return of at least two thirds mem
bers of the democratic party, uncompromis-
ingly hostile TO the government.
The Grand Duke OF Darmsiadt has issued
a decree suspendng all clubs and political
unions for SIX months.
One account says the Holsteiners, on the
4th inst. made desperate attack on the city
OF Frederickstadt, and, after hard fighting,
were repulsed with great loss, aud retired to
their former position. The loss on the part
Of the HoIsteiners is estimated al six seven
hundred. The worst disaster of the attack
was the breaking of the pontoon bridge as
troops were crossing it. by which a whole
2ug, or section of a company. was drowned
ia the ditch. Ii is stated that the bridge was
shattered by shell at the moment the men
were passing. The number of the inhabi-
iauts of the town killed is reported at eleven.
The place itself is half destroyed. and it will
be years ere it RECEIVERS the ruin this wretch
ed war has brought upon it.

The NextPresrdent.

The Cincinnati Times, neutral paper,
ventures some remarks relative to the next
Presidency. Almost assuming the position,
probably for the purpose Of tickling the van
ity or stirring up the wearied ambition of the
Democracy, that the next President will most
probably be Democratic President, it dis
courses very learnedIy the merits of Gems.
Benton and Cass. The editor gives Benton
the decided advantage, and thinks indeed
that he will in all probability be the next
at different places for the Presidency, by the
Democracy, but we think neither Of them
stands very fair chance. Cass is q defeat
ed candidate, and the Democrats have almost
a superstition against running defeated can
ddates. They mad c it q strong or at least
gassy argument against Clay, that the PEG
pie had already given their opinion Of him in
votes-so that they will scarcely feel like
taking up candidate upon whom the people
passed their judgment so emphatcally a;
they have done upon Gen. Cas-. As foI
Benton: he has been repudiated in his owr
State, and is now disowned by those editor;
who follow in the wake OF Richie, OF The
Washington Union, and they are many. l
the Union be the organ OF Democracy, as i
pretends The Democracy is opposed =" too'i
and toe-nail' to Col. Beaten. Who the De
mocracy riH get to carry their banner mex
Presidential canvass, is grand mystery
which we think Can in no manner be cleared
up by the opinion of any one man. The
Times had better continue its speculatioui
till it at least gets within the range Of proba
bilities.

A portion Of the news which we pulls


A portion o. the news which we publish
to-day was telegraphed expressly for the Ev-
ansvlle Journal. That paper will continue
to receive telegraph dispatches daily. Mr..
Sanders, in his efforts to furnish his readers
with good paper, spares neither time nor
money. The Journal is one of the, best con-
Quoted papers published in the West, and the
citizers of Evansville, if they are true to their
own interests, will pairoaiZe it literally. If
our good friend will send us his Daily, we
will promise to pay the diiierence.-l Var
rick Co. Dem.
We thank the Democrat for its friendly re-
marks, and as an evidence that the thanks
are not of the lips alone, we start on the Dali
ly in the hope it may prove of some avail in
giving late news. Mr.. Frary's long expert
ence as conductor of newspapers, certainly
entities him TO the character Of a Judge Of
what constitutes good paper, therefore we
shall think with him, that if the citizens o.
Evansville are true TO their own interests
they will patronize the Journal literally.
