HAIL sroRM-0n. Sunday evening there was a
bail storm in Dinwiddie, about six miles south of
the city, which damaged the tobacco and corn
blades. We are not informed as TO the extent of
injury. and hope that it not serious. 1t gives
much qualification to state that in the last few
days there have been copous rains In various dis
tricts of country which were suffering severely
under the drought. The probability now is, that
with tolerably seasonable weather for week or
two, the yield of will be least an avera &c
one, and that the tobacco fields will turn out fairly
as to quality.-Peters6urg Va) Intltigencer.

out the spirit of sectional patriotism, and
as the Charleston Mercury says in refer

We are glad to read the telegraph
dispatch published in ourpaper yesterda
morning, that the Government does no
intend tointerfere with the emiyratio,
movement to Nicaragua. The South i
deeply interested in this movement. an,
it would i'll become this American Gov
eminent to interpose or obstruct the set
tlement of the fertile lands of Nicaragu;
and their cultivation by American ciii
zens. 1t would i'll become it to ALLOW
English interference, by any pretended
treaty, any selfish policy, or any lust Of
domination; to take under its guardian,
ship The interests of that country, and in
Its arrogance to forbid the immigration
of our citizens to its inviting shores; to
leave it open to all other nations, but re-
quire of immigrants from our land a dis
avowal of all those peculiar sentiments
that make them worthy of the name Of
American citizens before they will be
permitted to participate in the endowment
which its untitled regions offer to indus
try, intelligence and capital.
We do not enquire about the ORIGIN
OF such dispatch. 1t chimes in too
we'll with our wishes for us to seek rea-
sons to doubt it. We are aware that
President Buchanan has issued pro-
clamation enjoining upon the officers Of
government of vigilance and activity in
discovering and depressing any violation
OF our neutrality laws. We do not un-
derstand this as requiring them to inter
fere upon suspicion with the peaceful
and orderly emigration1f our citizens 70
Central America. "
Ii the expedition which is advertised
to sail from this port is not military or
ganlzatlon set on foot in this country
against a people at peace with us, but a
band OF emigrants, without arms and
studlously avoiding any Infringement of
our laws, bound for neighboring coun-
try, in which they propose to settle and
i've, we hope no officious intermedling
from ofiicers--no prurient suspicious will
arise to interrupt their embarkation.
Central America lies in the pathway
of our destiny, and its speedy settlement
by people friendly to us and our insti-
tutions is desirable, We of the South
should especially wish God speed to the
adventurous youthsw no leavetheir homes
as the pioneers of our people in their des-
tined progress southwark.

rights OF negroes to be carried on steam.

clded that the plaintiff had right to be

must be done in compliance with such
reasonable regulations as the owners of

The Charleston COnccntioa.--" One;
rom writes from Washington TO the n
Y. Commercial Advertiser:
Circumstances tend very strongly to
make Mr.. Douglas the favoritc candidate
az the South for the next Presidency.
Ithas been proposed in the Democratic
councils, lately, that the Northern dele
gates to the Charleston National Demo-
cratic Convention should yield to the
Southern Delegates the selection Of a
Presidential candidate. Atpresent, there
is no doubt that the choice of the South
would necessarily fall upon Douglas or
GOV. Wise, and the former seems to have
the preference, because he is supposed to
possess the greater share of availability.
The contest for the Presidency does
not usually begin tillthe second Congress
in an Administration is opened. But the
commencement of the struggle is now
precipitated by the Douglas feud. As
an evidence of this, it is reported, to-day,
that great Douglas paper is to. be es-
tablished here, by a conjunction of the
Richmond South and the Washington
States. Douglas is to be put in the field
at once, on the Democratic side.
Seward is regarded as the Republican
leader, but he may be DISPOSED before
;he election.
