Storm I'm Pamela and YaIobusha
Counties.

We understand that on Friday night last a
most destructive storm of wind and rain passed
over portions of Yalobusha and Pamela coun-
ties, Miss, doing great damage. Negro hOus-
es were blown down by the violence of the
storm, and in one instance, negro man was
seriously injured by the falling timbers of a
cabin, in which he was staying. Fences and
trees were overthrow, and the growing crops
injured to a great extent. In addition to this
all the streams were much swollen, the low
lands overfowed, and many fences and bridg-
es washed away. We do not know what the
extent of the damage is, but understand that
it is very great. Through part of Yalobu-
sha county the storm assumed the character
of a tornado, which laid PROSTATE all the
trees of any size for considerable distance

British Aggressions-war Probable.

Correspondence of the Patri<.l
wAsmSGroS, ID. C., Nay 20, 1855.
DEAR SIRs Upon information ON which |
rely, give you the important fact that Lord
Napier, the British minister residing here, has
made known, as the position OF his Govern
ment in relation to the recent searches of our
merchant vessels, that while his government
will, as respects vessels, ascertained not to be
engaged in the African slave trade, dsavow
the acts, it will continue to assert the right to
visit all American vessels and ascertain by
search whether they are engaged in such
trade.
This will probably lead 10 ,Oar bet,ceen Tie t,oo
governments. The Executive of the United States
has sent a naval force into the Gulf of Mexico
with orders to protect all vessels of the Uni
ted States from search or detention by the
vessels Of war of any other nation" and the
Senate Committee on Foreign relations have
reported resolutions approving the action of
the Executive, and declaring that American
vessels on the high seas are under American
jurisdiction, and that any visitation, molesia-
ton or detention of such vessels is in deroga-
ton of our sovereignty. The British govern
me Il claim that piratical use of our flag is
nj lie by foreigners to cary on the slave trade,
with Cuba. aud that they cannot suppress that
ira nc unless they search vessels bearing the
American flag, with view TO ascertain wheth-
er they are really American, or fraudulent
Our government replies that Great Britain
has no right to exercise supervision over
American merchant vessels; tina. We are capa-
BILE of protecting our own flag; that all indie
dendent nations are equal and have an equal
right 20 the common use Of the high seas; and
that yisitations, searches and detentions of our
m .rshant vessels. by British cruisers. ceasti-
te an insult to our sovereignty. which can
not in honor be submitted to. The bearing
of Br.tish naval officers il would seem, has been
verv ruse and offensive. This adds to the
poignancy of the aifront- With nations, as
With individuals, wanton insult Is not to be
"a ently borne. The arrogant superiority as
sumed by Great Britain, by which she claims
the right to force our vessels TO submit TO de-
tention and annoyance, under the plea OF sS'-
pressing the slavs trade, while she Is carrying

ILLINOIS CENTRAL RAnRoAD-The New

ILLINOIS CENTRAL RAnRoAD.-The New
York Herald, of Wednesday last, May 26, in
its money column, has the following:
"Illinois Central Railroad closed at 81 per
cent. heavy. The support to this stock comes
principally from German houses. In London
it was freely offered, at the last accounts, at
lower prices. The bubble will burst one of
these days. Fortunately the stock, as gen.
eral thing, is in strong hands, or rather in the
hands of parties able to lose it, and the ex-
plOsion will not. therefore, do so much dam
age. The business of the entire road does not
pay more than one-half of its operating ex-
penses. There is a continual drain upon the
treasury in this city from Illinois, to meet the
current expenses, and remittances have to be
made or the trains would stop running
This is gloomy account, but it is neverthe-
less truen

Great Democratic Triumph.

The Democratic papers are jubilant over
the success of the party in ARKANSAS.
Well, we acknowledge beat. But isn't it
a queer Democracy? Louis Bonaparte
was elected Emperor by the Democracy of
France by as unanimous vote, and by as
Legitimate means. lie had no opposition,
and there certainly was no Republican can
didate for any office in all Arkansas. Sin
gular coincidence! The orders in France
were, that if any person refused to vote
the Democrat Louis Bonaparte ticket he
had perfect right to do so. but with the
understanding that if he attempted to ex-
ercise the right his life was the immcdi-
ate forfeit. So in Arkansas. Any man
might announce himself or be announced
by his friends, rs Republican candidate,
but, as in France, with the distinct under
standing that the moment he did SO, the
Bowie knife and revolver would create AN
immediate vacancy. Another remarkable
coincidence, showing the perfect unity oI
such DemocracyEs- acherever IL has tie
oower. -aE Democrats of Meigs County
your parry has achieved a splendid victory
IinArkansas, and you are expected to re-
joice! Can't you fire cannon over the re-
suit? They did in France

Very Stupid or Very Dishonest.

The Democratic papers and stump
speakers, have, for years, employed as
their most effective weapons against the
Republican party, the .avings of VIM.
Lloyd Garrison, and his followers, falsely
representing them as Republicans. How
such men AS Medill, Dr.. Olds, and their
compeers, could have the assurance, year
after year, to repeat these stale falsehoods
has been subje of profound astonish-
ment to all honest men. THEY very well
know that every such assertion is q delibe-
rate, unmitigated misrepresentation. They
knoaO that Garrison and all his party are,
and always have been, the bitterest enc
mics of the Republican party and the Re-
publican platform. And yet they have
been so successful in making their follow
ers believe the SANDER, that they no doubt
hope TO continue the delusion, and by the
same means save themselves from a total
overthrow at the ensuing election. We
certainly do not envy the reflections of the
leaders, as their former adherents are de-
tecting their disreputable tricks, and
leaving them by hundreds.
Another favorite policy with these poll
ticisns is to try to keep up the hopes of
success, by representing the Republican
party as dissatisfied with the nominations
made by the Republican Convention at
Columbus. But in this, they are driven
to the same perversion of truth as in the
former case There never was n COnven-
ti"n in Ohio whose nominees gave So
universal satisfaction ns that Of the l3th
oi July. There Is not single Republican

Tie DIaiIs-A srrcw Loose.

The ZeLgraph is very unfortunate in
regard 10 its intercourse with subscribers
and correspondents, through the nails
We are sure our Postmaster himself would
not pcrver. his Office to irjure us by petty
annoyances, and are not prepared to be-
lieve that any one else connected with the
Office would be guilty of so mean trick.
Yet there are some things utterly unac-
countable. Two weeks ago we gave an
instance Of an important letter, which wa.
nearly amonth in reaching us from Post
Office in this county. Charity led us tc
believe that it was one of the accidents
that sometimes occur without blame. But
the thing has become so common that il is
excessively provoking. On the Cd inst,
John j. White, Esq, sent us a list of some
dozen subscribers from Portland, in this
County. We have not received them yet
w. Z. Middleswart was in town few days
afterwards, and advised Us of the fact.
We sent bundle of papers by private
conveyance, expecting to receive the list
soon. We have just received another
letter from Mr. White, dated and mailed
at the same place on the leth inst, in
which he says his former letter Of the Cd,
was duly mailed by the Postmaster there.
In order that We might gel tie letter, he took
the precaution to send it in an envelope
directed to o. Branch. OF course, mthot
name, it came by due course Of mail, and
we received it through Mr.. Branch, the
next day. We might refer to other in
stances, but this will do for sample. We
still hope there is no design in all this, but
it seems very strange that letters directed
to us under cover of other names come
promptly to hand, while those addressed
directly to ourselves are delayed for weeks,
and in several instances are not received
at all. Our subscription list is rapidly in
creasing, and it looks rs if that fact might
furnish a motive to bad men who do not
like ii and have the power to cripple its
influence and such is the solution of the
mystery given by many of our friends
But we confess the idea is so revolving to
every sense of justice and honor, that we
are not yet prepared to believe it. Be-
sides, there are none of the Postmasters,
with whom we are acquainted, against
whom we could harbor such a thought
without positive proof. If any orders for
the Telegraph are not promptly answered
our friends will understand the cause.
