A large meeting of the Wings, opposed to the
election Of General Scott, was held in Whining
ton, N. c., on Monday week. 1t nominated
Webster and Graham and repudiated Gen. Scott,
r. II. Cowan, Esq addressed the meeting in
support Of its action.
The following extract from his remarks eN'
plain very pertinently the motives for his TePu-
diation of the Baltimore nominee:
Mr.. Cowan took a rapid glance at the events
of the last four years-lhe movements connect.
ed with the slavery, and the passage of the com
| promise dwelt upon the efforts OF Fillmore and
Webster in favor of that passage; spoke OF the
opposition to the enforcement of the Fugitive
Slave Law at the North, and the rallying OF the
abolilionists under a banner gotten by Seward,
in New York, with this device" Repeal OF the
Fugitive Slave Law, and Winfield Scott FOR Pre-
sidGnt." That same banner was hOisIed by the
Pennsylvania Convention which nominated Gov.
Johnston, and that same notorious ''higher law"
man bore ii aIOft in the canvass for Governor,
and was defeated TO the great satisfaction Of the
Southern people, Wings and Democrats. Mr..
Vinton, of Ohio, while a candidate for Governor
in that State, hoisted the same banner. All this
| General Scott knew-he knew that while all
good men and patriots were throwing themselves
into the breach for the just and glorious defence oil
the Constitution, and maintenance of the law, his
own great name was used by the enemies OF both,

Terrific Han storm--Flre IN tho Forest.
TO rnE EDITOR or 4uE HERALD.


DEAR SIR On Wednesday, June 3 the towns Of
Bethel and Thompson, Sullivan county, were visited
by one Of the most severe hail storms that can be
remembered by the Oldest Inhabitants of those towns
The afternoon set in with showers from the north,
accompanied with continual or steady thunder; at
five O'Clock p. n. dense cloud which was over
hanging the vicinity ofWhite Lake. broke, with rain;
in few seconds tic hail stones fell, and in such
quantities that in three minutes the ground was
covered. They were about the size of walnuts, and
the injury caused by them was great !; hardly
house escaped without the destruction Of many
squares OF glass The large hot-beds attached to the
White Lake Hotel, covering hundred feet, were
utterly destroyed; many Of the plants that had
been set out were broken like pipe stems. At
Thompson town and Monticello the storm was at its
fury. These towns to the east of the lake, and
in Monticello stones Of solid ice picked up that
would measure nine inches in circumference Not
q house escaped for miles around, and one store
keeper sod in the night, two hundred boxes of glass
Wagons and teams were coming from all directions
the whole night, for glass.
A large fire is now raging in the woods Of our
vicinity-acros are in flames.

she left tic cars, and inquiring at what time the

before stated, and when the whistle was sounded,
shc snatcted her purse, and taking ring from her
finger, gave them to little girl who was walking
by her side, telling her to hasten up bank out Of
