From the n. Y, Times, Juas ~
Professor Lowell.

James Russell Lowell, the poet, who has
been chosen the successor OF Prot. Long
fellow in Harvard University, sails this NOR
ming in the packet ship st. Nicholas for
Huyre. The day before leaving Boston he
was complimented by dinner at the Revere
House, at which his accomplished predeces-
sor presided The company consisted OF
the most distinguished and illustrious Oh the
beaur espriss of the Bay State, among whom
were Professors o. w. Holmes. the poet;
Apas.iz, the great naturalist; Pierce, the
mathematician; FELTON,, the "jolliest OF
Greek Professors" as Dickens called him,
and many others Of equal celebrity and dis
tinguished talent II was such gathering
as boston alone could furnish. During the
few days that Professor Lowell has been in
NewYork. he has been much noticed By his
numerous friends in this city, and ne viii
depart on his journey accompanied BY the
fervent good wishes OF thousands who I'D.
mire his genius and have been cheered and
instructed by his literary productions. He
spent some two years in Italy on his first
yisi, TO Europe, and we learn that it is his
intention now to remain year abroad, d.
yiding the time equally between Germany
and Spain.
! Prot. Lowell is yet young man, being
hardly thir,y-ive yet he occupies front
place among our poets, aud has distinguished
himself in a greater variety of productions
than any other of our literary men. He has
been equally successful in humor, satire,
criticism, and poetry, Of the highest order.
Like all the distinguished authors Of Massa-
chusetts, he is ranked among the Abolition
lists md we are not aware that he has ever
shrunk from tire reproach which that implies.
Probably no author of the present day has
exerted more powerful influence by his
writings, or inspired heartier personal
sympathy. 1t was happy circumstance
| for Harvard University that she could find
among her sons poet like Lowell to fill the
Chair made vacant by the resignation o!
| Longfellow.

Terrible Hail Storm.

The severe.t hail storm that ever visited
this section Of the country passed down the
east side OF Keowee River, in the afternoon
of Friday. May 18th. I, extended about
two miles IN width, and ragged with great
fury, killing hogs, fish, birds, fowls, and in
sects manning and bruising the cattle, and
stripping vegetation of every vestige above
ground. The growing crops, with the ex-
cep,ion Of corn, are completely ruined X.
Stewart ESQ.,. informs Us that, on the third
day after its fall, the hail was from one to
two feet deep, and, in many places, six
feet, The average depth on level, after
the storm, was four inches. We are in
formed by several persons that the largest
hailstones measured ten inches in circum'
ference, and others four inches in length
II fell with such force that the boards on
several houses were split to pieces, and thai
now the stencil arising from the decayins
vegetable matter is very offensive. We
are indebted to the Kindness Of w. J. Par.
sons, Eco, for small carpet-bag full of tbs
hail, gathered upon yesterday (the eight
day after its fall.l Som. of the stones were
as large as guinea eggs, and had been taker
from an open field, the Thermometer stand
ing at 80 during the two days past.-Ptchen'

Release from Mortmain.

The Paris correspondent of the New York
Times says:
"The law ofrelease from Mortmain has
been sanctioned by the Queen of Spain
after considerable effort 10 prevent il on
the part Of the priests party, and those
who are united to them for their own poiit.
ical purposes. These had conceived the
hope at one moment Of prevailing on the
Queen to risk the refusal OF her sanction to
the law but the attitude ofthe Democratic
faction Of the:Assembly, as well asthegreat
Liberal party which supports the Ministry
made all resistance hopeless. The Queen,
however. was given TO understand pretty
plainly that che was in the alternative either
Of signisg the bill or Of abdicating the
throne. Eeversl gentlemen Of the Kings
household, as well as the Primate Of Spain.
the Cardinal Archbishop Of Toledo, have
been sent away from the Court for their
opposition to the popular will in thia mat
ter.
The value of the property released from
Mortmain BY this measure is estimated ~
high ss $500 ,OO0, 600, but no accurate
statistics are as yet prepared, Probably
the Treasury OF Spain may not realize an
actual benefit OF more than from $50! O00,-
600 TO $500, 100000. The country, hsw-
ever, reaps the still higher benefit That
the clergy will henceforth be dependent
upon the government and people for their
subsistence, and not Independent Of them.
Spain has Sc cured also the benefit of an in
evitable rupture with the Pope"

tn, stuns's Tactics in the crinea.

The Philadelphia Gazette thus comments
mon a new system OF strategy recently
adopted with success by the French COM
mander before Sebastopoi:
"But we come now TO feature IN the
late adyices from the seat OF war, which,
we confess, has staggered our credulity
more than anything that has ever reached
me from that quarter. II is announced, in
! dispatch from Gen. Canrobert, that the
.lies have been throwing Camoufets, or
stink pots, into the enemy's fortIiicatlons'
and that the measure has been eminentiy
.uccessful. IF this be true, it merits the
contempt of the civilized world. i is
msde OF warfare to which brave and hon.
orable adversary would not descend, and
which even savage might be ashamed to
employ. !.
deed be desperate when they are driven TO
expedients so unworthy of this age. De-
feat. the most absolute and mortifying,
would be preferable, one should think. to
generous enemy, to a triumph achieved by
such cowardly and infamous means. To
conquer a gallant foe, whom the usual arts
and implements of military science cannot
vanqush, by smoking him to death by
poisonous gases, is Al act at which the NOR
al sense Of this century must revolt. II
the balls from the allied lines cannot batter
down the walls of Sebastopol; if the shells
thrown into them cannot reduce the Rus
slams to captulate or surrender; If they can
not be invested and subdued by famine; or,
II thew cannot be bravely assailed and car
ried BY storm, then, we submit, itwers bet
ter to abandon the siege altogether than to
a,,emp, its conquest by raining into the
fortress a shower of stench-bails, and de-
stroying the garrison by asphyxia. We
have turned with disgust from seeing tho
hunter, who had chased his prey to its den,
pile a burning brush-heup at the entrance OF
the refuge, either to force the poor brute
forth again, or to kill il by suffocation; but
that proceeding is to!erable in comparison
with the base inhumauity Of attempting the
capture of citadel in war by strangling its
forces with deadly fumes emitted from smo-
king missiles
