THE GREAT HAIL STORM.

A most terrific and destructive hail storm
swept over Castle Grove, Monticello, Scotch
Grove, and Clay Townships on Tuesday
last, entirely destroying the Wheat, corn
oats, garden vegetables and even The prairie
grass for space varying in width from two
to four miles. Pigs and hens were killed by
the hail stones, which were nearly as large
as hens eggs, and cattle were so badly
bruised that blood was seen running from
their wounds. Windows were entirely de.
molished, out houses and fences blown dow
barns rnroofed, trees barked from top to bot.
tom and stripped of their branches, present.
ing scene of desolatiun which can only be
appreciated by being seeh One gentleman
relates that he could have shoveled mp re-
spectacle wagon load Of hail in his par1or,
and that it lay two inches in depth on the
ground.
The above is from the Anamosa Eureka.
On the same day we had glorious good
rain, but nothing like such storm as de-
scribed above. The Courier says that in
the same day there was heavy hail storm
at Waterloo, but it did not extend as far
north as this. --

NEWS BY LAST NIGHTS MAIL.

:
The fall of Vicksburg, the brilliant vic.
tory at Helena, and the utter rout of Lee
are all confirmed.
!, From Vicksburg we learn that Grant took
between 900 and 5000 prisoners, all Of
whom were paroled for satisfactory reasons,
among the principal of which, were lack Of
subsistence and transportation. One-third
Of the rebels were sick, and the garrison had
been reduced to mule meat. Of course all
the guns, ammunition, &C., fell into our
hands.
ii Dispatches from the East breathe encour.
agement and cheer. The rebel army of Lee
had at last accounts taken itself entirely out
Of Pennsylvania, but is still on this side of
the Potomac. 1t is believed to have concen.
trated in the vicinity of Wiliamsport, on
the Potomac, where another great battle is
anticipated. Meade's and COUGHS forces
are active to intercept, harrass and destroy
the enemy's beaten army. We trust they
will succeed. A few hours, at fartherest,
will reveal to US the grand finale of this mo-
mentus campaign at the East.
Though the rebels may reach the other
side Of the Potomac without further punish.
ment, it will still not be for want of effort on
our part to inflict it on them. Our cavalry
under Gen. Pleasanton is on their flank and
will not fail to strike hard Generals Buford,
Gregg and Fitzpatrick are miles IN front of
them and the advance of our infantry column
is also where it ought to be. The South
Mountain passes are ours, and with these ey.
licences of further possible success, we must
wait results.
The rebels lost thirteen General officers
They estimate their loss at $4,000. We
have about 12,0 900 prisoners, exclusive Of the
wounded.
The victory at Helena proves to have been
greater than first reported. We took 1,2GO
prisoners.
On the 9Th gold had dropped to % in

THE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC.

The news from the East is of the most
gratifying character The latest intelligence
is that Lee has been utterly routed and is
now endcavoring to escape back to Dixie
with but mere remnant of the proud army
with which he invaded Pennsylvania. 1t is
not merely defeat but an utter and ire
tIievable rout. Over 10000 of his men were
captured, and upwards of 5000 deserted.
The greatest portion Of his artillery, wagon
trains, &C., has been taken, and as the Poto-
mac has been rising rapidly, strong hopes
are entertained Of bagging the whole rebel
army. The fords are impossible, and our
forces are stsaining every nerve to get pos
session Of what few bridges are left upon
which the rebels could cross. 1t is thought
that Lee is so hard pressed that he will be
obliged to fight another battle, and that
would be his ruin as our army is now almost
double the size>of his. Lee is short Of pro-
visions, artillery and ammunition, and Sedg-
wick is close on his rear with $4,000 fresh
troops. Gen. Couch, with the militia, has
formed junction with Meade, and his men
are slaughtering and capturing the rebels by
whole regiments and brigades. During the
terrible three days battles the fighting was
terrific, we lost heavily, but the enemy the
most severely. They lost two Of their best
generals, Longstreet and Ewell. The 4th of
July, 1868, is destined to be memorable day
in the history of this country, and the sue
ceeding returns of our National gala day
will be fraught with additional interest on
account Of the doubly hallowed memories
that will cluster around it.

A FINE MASONIC HALL.-In the Newburg

scription of a splendid hall Just completed
for the use of the A. F. g. A. Ms of that
place. Don't get jealous, western brothers
in reading the item:
Ii is sixty feet by thirty six, and seventeen
to the top of the vaulted ceiling. Round
the floor runs rich and massive surbase,
from which neat Ionian pilasters rise to the
springing of the vault. The vaulted ceiling
rests on most elaborate cornice Of extraor-
binary richness, and yet relieved by so cor
rect a taste as to remove any appearance of
heavness or ornateness. The vault itself is
paneled with Grecian mouldings in alto retie,
20 the gaseliers, which are exceedingly
chaste, depend from the richest and most
massive looking stalactitic finals. The dec
Grating of the room cost IS, 500, and the fur
nishing, including the organ, $4,000. The
carpet, which is Of deep maroon color, cost
$500. Altogether, the Masons Of Newburgh
may Justly congratulate themselves upon the
possession of one Of the finest lodges in the
state.

The centre Of Gen. Meade's army at the
great battle of Gettysburg, was in the ceme-

the rebels to break the centre was repealed
with terrible slaughter. During one of the
attacks the rebel columns suddenly found
themselves exposed to an enfilading or cross
fire, from both TANKS. Their only escape
from certain death was by throwing down
their arms, and rushing forward, shouting
