to friend after he was elected Vice. President
in l848: IA r
Though have been charged at the South
in the most gross ard wanton manner with
being an abolitionist and inoendiary, yet the
Wings of the South have cast these calumhes
to the winds and without asking or expect
ing anything more than what the Constitution
guarantees to them on this subject, they have
yielded to me most hearty and enthusiastic
support. This was particularly SO in New
Orleans, where the attack was most violent.
Really, these Southern Wings are noble fel.

that it separated Us from such true, noble

Disastrous HAIL STORM IN LOUISA, Va.
We are creditably informed by letter
from responsible far mer of Louisa, that the
section Of the comfy in the neighborhood of
the "Green Springs" was visited by the
severest hail storm, on the 18th inst, known

literally riddled. Vegetation general was
injured, while even houses and barns were
made to feel to pelting influence of the storm.

- THE PeLE RAISING, AND THE Ap-
Dress OF Mr.. AsKEw.-A correspondent
hsrnshes as with the following notice Of the
meeting here on Thursday evening:
In accofdance with the announcement
made in this paper last week, a splendid pole
was erected by the Fillmore and Donelson
Club Of Elkton, in front ofthe Club Room, on
the afternoon of Thursday. The arrange.
ments were conducted by Mr.. Joseph Miller
aud Mr., Edwsrd Wilson, Jr., of Elkton, and
Mr.. Samuel r. Fowler Of Chesapeake City.
After some delay occasioned by slight
accident to the derrick, the pole rapidly
assumed its erect position, and the American
Flag, with the glorious device Of Fillmore,
Donelsop aud the Union, WAS spread out to
the reeze, amidst the shouts ofthe "Sons of
the Sircs Of 49," On the top of the pole
there is also a representation of that ubiaui-
tous individual ssSau,'' in the act of putting
to death the Foreign Democracy, in the shape
Of their fayerite emblem, the Rooster. The
pole itself is in two parts, the base being
hickory and the upper portion of solid oak;
the one representing the glorious old aprinci-
pies in defence Of which the immortal Clay
led Oh the democracy of 1872, in the Halls OF
Congress, for which Jackson, Harrison, Tay-
Tor and Scott fought orr battles Oh the land,
and which were defended on the ocean by
American sailors, who fought behind bull.
warks Of Anne rican oak; which principles the
American party, having laid aside al other
distinguishing marks, have now gone back
to. The portion Of the pole composed of
hickory, a. comp liment to our noble candi-
date for the Vice Presidency, Andrew
Jackson Donelson, represents that portion
of the American party who were adhe rents
to the Jackson Democracy, and who still
preserving the attachment to our glorious
Union which distinguished the old Hero, have
been found unwilling to follow in the wake OF
Pierce, Douglas 4 Co., in their sectional
crusade, and now claim to be the true repre-.
ssniatives Of Jackson's Union principles.
In the evening the Club assembled in from,
OF the Court House Gen. Fl. s. Sites the
President, being in the chair, assisted by
Major Edwaid Wilson and DR.. Justus Dunott,
Vice Presidents, there being also large and
respectable attendance from the country
We noticed, also, number Of the Buchan-
antics in the crowd. The meeting was ad-
dressed by MIR. j. b. Askew, Of Baltimore
City, with great ability, for one hour and
ahalf, during which time the crowd of listen
ers gave him most signal proof of their high
appreciation Of his address,, by their close
attention, as well as their frequent cheers.
MIR. Askew is young man of extra ordinary
promise, and distinguished himself as
member Of the House of Delegates at its late
session. He is machinist by profession, and
during the canvass last fall, and indeed up
to the time when he took his seat in the
Legislature, he worked constantly at his
occupation. s-...-, +. -.-..,

MAN AND TEAM ATTACKED sY BEES. MIR
5. Hooper. residing near McKissacks Grove
Iowa while driving his team recently, was
attacked BY bees. They made the attack
apparently in three distinct strings about the
size OF mans arm, first attacking tn,
horses: One horse, in endeavoring to cxtri.
cate himself, brokca blood vessel, and died
shortly after; the other is severely injured
They next attacked Mr.. Hooper and those
who came to his assistance. Everything was
done that could be to cxtricate the urfortu.
nate man, but not until Mr.. Hooper and Mr.
Slushcr were so severely injured that but little
hope Of their recovery rs entertained. The
symptoms and sufterngs Of the unfortunate
men resemble those Of hydrophobia.

THE Corn CRoP.-The Richmond Wing,
in referring to the corn crop, says:-"A gen.
cral alarm, from the mountains to the sea-
board, is felt for the corn crop. The rains
have been partial and limited in quantity. the
chinch-bug universal. and like the sand of the
sea-shore for numbers. Many corn fields are
entirely destroyed by them already, and
others can only be saved by timely and
copious rains" t..

A DAY OF HoRRoRs. Thursday, July 18th
1856, will long be remembered for the occur.
renee of three most terrible calamitics. On
that day some sixty persons were crushed OF
roasted to death on the North Pennsylvania
Railroad, while more than hundred wcr,
manned or badly burned, twenty.seven per.
sons peIishcd on Lake Erie, by the burning
of the steamer Northern Indiana, and seven
teen on Lake Ontario by the burning of the
Tinto. Three such cala,nities in one day
have never before been known, and we trust
will never be known again.

FROM HAvANA,-A letter, dated July 18th
say:-The Captain General Of this Island is
now dangerously i'll from yellow fever. 1t is
difficult to ascertain the true state of his
Exccllency's health. The Archbishop of
Cuba, Don Antonio Clarcty Clara has also
had an attack of the yellow fever, but is fas,
recovering. There is a great deal of this
dreadful disease in this city at the present
moment.
The difficulty between Spain and Mexico
is understood to have been arranged. Mexico
claimed certain deductions against the deb,
due to SPAN, which the Minister of the lat.
ter having allowed, Mexico agrees to pay the
balance.

FEARFUL MORTALITY AMONG CHILDREN
The record of deaths in the principal cities at
this season Of the year show an alarming
mortality among Children. Two.thirds of
the number, at least, are children, and the
diseases that carry them off are of the dgcs.
tive organs--c cholera infantum, or the sum-
mer complaint, being the most fatal. In a
large number of cases the deaths are brought
OIL by neglect as regards. the diet and cleanl-
ness of the children, and want of proper at
tention at the earlier stages Of the disease
The present warm weather is dangerous to
the health of children and immediate care
should be given to the first symptoms of
sickness; by prompt attention in this respect
we firmly believe that thousands of children
could be annually saved who, being neglected,
die.
During the week ending on Monday there
were ITS deaths in Baltimore, l2l of them
children under five years of age. There were
SCI deaths last week in the city of New York,
as follows: y men, 70 women, POP boys,
LIS girls. In Philadelphia last week there
were 329 deaths, of which number 227 were
children, lls being under one year.
