DESTRUCTIVE HAIL STORMS.

We have experienced two pretty severe hal
storms in this place and vicinity, since last is
sue The first one on Thursday last, passed over
the plantations of Charles Miller, B. Sumner
Phillip Owens, and some others, doing very CON
siderable damage to their corn, tobacco, &c. The
last one. on Sunday, fell this place, about six
o'clock in the afternoon, and did considerable
damage. The large and beautiful Railroad shed
built for the accommodation of both roads, was
blowd down, and is almost worthless heap OF
rubbish The tin roof on nearly one half Of Muir
phys Granite Row rolled up and carried
nearly fifty yards South of the building and
dropped in the street. One of the chimney's of
the same house was blown down. Michael
had an unfinished house blown down and the
timbers destroyed, and another building moved
from it's foundations. The engine shed on the
Western Road also damaged in the roof,
which is put on in sections. The metallic roof
with the wood timbers to which it was attached
of one of the sections rolled up in wad and
hurled some distance from the building. Anoth
or section was turned over and fell another OF
the roof.
Altogether, the damage done to property in
this place is estimated at from ten to twelve thou
sand dollars.
If the storm had occurred ten minutes sooner
there would certainly have been a frightful des-
struction of human life train arrived from a
camp-meeting at Foard's, just the storm was
coming up, and the large crowd of people on
board had barely time, by making haste, to reach
their homes when the passenger shed, through
which they all passed, was salisbury

portion Of the hull and the engine of the steamer
Pennsylvania, of the Union Steamship Line

in four fathoms near the spot at which she took
fire. The top of the smoke pipe can only be seen

they were carried to Norfolk on Saturday.
During the confagration, while Capt. Teal was
over the side of the ship, working IN the water
to construct raft. and his officers were similarly
engaged Mrs. McCleary was on the deck of the
burning ship working with all the cool bravery
of heroine. She among all the rest, was the
coolest and camest, and by her calm. collected
manner inspired all around her. She gathered
up chairs DOORS spars. matches, or any floating
material that she could find and threw them over
the side of the ship to Captain Teal and his Off
c2rs and On one occasion, when the lashings
that the Captain was using had given out, she
rushed into the burning cabin, the flames from
which were madly fastening on to everything
around, and making her way to the Captain
room, burst in the door, gathered up several lead
lines, rushed again upon deck, and in that awful
that irving hour, when death in his worst, most
horrible and terrible form stared her in the face
she coolly and deliberately picked up an axe
that had been used to remove some of the doors

the following notice from the agent of the steam

him, as follows:

ORIGINAL POETRY.
The Long, Long Ago.

The Long, Long Ago.
BY EVA MAY.
O! where are the loved friends
That our hearts used to know,
In our life's early morn,
In the long, long ago?
Alas some are sleeping
In the grave dark and low,
While the living are changed
Since the long, long ago.
All! where is our Mother
With her voice sweet and low?
Who loved US and cheered us
In the long, long ago.
She forever has fed
From this dark world of woe,
And has left us to weep
Ger the sweet long ago.
O! where is that father
Whom our young hearts loved so,
In bri gilt days of childhood,
In the long, long ago?
Alas our fathers dead,
While alone in our woe,
We lonely orphans dream
Of the bright long ago.
We mingle in the world
Mid its vain pride and show, 9
But with sad hearts that mourn,
Ger the long, long ago.
That world may think calm,
For it can never know
How in silence we grieve
Ger the bright long ago.
In the silence OF night
How oft our tears flow,
As memory recalls
The long, long ago
The future may be bright,
But shrinking hearts know,
1t never can be blessed
Like the lost long ago

BRECKENRIDGE REPUDIATED IN His OWN
HoME.-The Nicholasville (Ky., Democrat, pub
lished in Mr.. Breckinridges district, hoists
the flag of Douglas and johnson. The editor
says:
"It has ever been and is now, our fixed and
determined purpose to support the man for Presi-
dent who fairly and Justly obtained the nomina-
tion. While we admire and love Mr.. Brecken-
ridge, we cannot forsake the mOdicum OF nation
ality that yet remains to the Democracy to pro-
mote his interest to the detriment of that party
whose recent rupture has cast such gloom over
our land and nation. We love the Union. We
will never knowingly take position which will
array one section of the Union against another.
Mr. Breckenridge did not receive the vote of
Kentucky in Convention, and he will not re-
ceive it in November next. If he accepts the
nomination from the handful of delegates who
seeded at Baltimore it will initiate against the
SUCCESS of Mr. Douglas while it insures his own
overwhelming defeat. AT a time like the present,
when the greatest harmony is needed to insure
success, it is suicidal to attempt victory with a
divided 'front.'

correspondent writing from Kittrell's Springs
to the Express says:
The manner in which some southerners pour
out their ivective on the North, and then hasten
to uncongenial yankeedom, to spend their money
and pleasureful leisure, reflects no envahle light
on southern character. L happy, however,
to be able to assure you that this spirit which
you so appropriately condemn, does not pervade
the North Carolina heart. AS an evidence of it,
this place which is in its infancy, with build
ings and preparations incomplete, shows its
register, for the present season, between nine
and ten hundred arrivals. About $50 now

other Southern States will crown their own water
