ADVANTAGES OF THE BALTIMORE & ONO RAIL-
RoAD.-We notice that goods shipped by the Bal
timtr q Ohio Railroad reached Nashville, Tenn,
from Baltimore via Railroad, the Union Line Jack
ct Falls City, and the Nashville Packet Logan, in
thirteen days, from the date of shipment. This we
reg' I'd as very expeditious it speaks loudly in ia
vor OF the above road and its connections for the
expeditions transportation Of freight.
Some of the parties who received their goods at
Nashville as above, also shipped goods by the New
York and Erie Railroad, and the Pennsylva mia
Central Railroad, which were out sc days, and hal
not yet arrived.
The importance of line of packets between
this city and Nashville is daily becoming more and
more apparent, and we cannot understand w Inv
our business men have so long neglected TO take
proper steps for the establishment OF line of SEMI
weekly packets between the two cities. We are
satisfied that such line could be established

occupied heretofore in the trial of criminal causes

A BEAUTIFUL CoMrARIsoN.-We do not wonder
that the leaye; and trees and boughs have ever
beengthe material whereof poets have manufac-
tured comparison and imagery. One of the most
beautiful we ever remember to have seen was by
up into the calm, blue summer air! Not breath
is stirring, and yet how it waves and rocks in the
sunshine. Its shadows are hung layishly around
it; birds sit and sing in its branches. and children
seek refuge beneath them. Human affections are
the leayes, the foliage of our being-they catch
every BREATH and in the burden and heat of the day
they make music and motion in the sultry world.
Stripped of that foliage, how unsightly is human
nature! ffH

Great HAN s.orm-Destruotion of Life and

We are compelled 10 chronicle one of the most
destructive hail storms that has ever=passed over
this section. On Thursday evening last, about Q
o'clock, a heavy, dark and avery low cloud SEEM
ed to overcast the sky, and looking porieutous of
foul weather. Tie atmosphere was warm and UNI
comfortable, but in a few minutes the clouds conf
menced moving to the north west; then changed.
the wind blowing severely from that direction,
companied with hail and raj in, severe lightning and
thunder. t4.tt No 80 .t.fIrt'5
There appeared rumbling noise near the
ground, perhaps it; we are not CERTAIN. The
lightning hoped and danced in Knocked merr-
ment, while the thunder shook every house. We
thought it was hailing herd, and looking below in
to the street saw man tangled up among his llor-
SEES, which were trying 10 run, and himself yelling
for help. We started down, intending to aid him,
but the hail was hailng, and ratified like peas
COW hide, SO we reiterated to the Exchange. The
hail was thick about this time, that it was im.
possible to see half across the street, which was
about two inches deep with it. The wagon so said
by a dozen witnesses, was blown 80 yards, and il
was loaded with lime. About this time our next
door neghbor, came running into the Exchange,
the smuttiest white mani we ever saw, who cried
Tor "help?' In a moment the crowd followed him
through front room, where he found his wife and
three children covered with the fallen roof of the
room, and the chimney. A moments action clear
