GREAT STORM IN MIss1ss1pp1-HAn.
STONES AS BIG AS GOOSE EGas.-The
Marshall County (Mississippi) Re
porter gives an account of a terrible
hail storm which occurred in that
County on the 9TH, destroying hun
dreds of acres of cotton, corn and
wheat in its devastating course. The
fepo'tey says: ''The hail stones were
larger than We ever saw fall before,
many of them being as large as a
goose egg, and measuring six or seven
inches in circumference. The ground,
in many places, was covered to the
depth of from one to two feet, and Mt
10 o'clock, on Monday morning last,
wagon loads of the ice could have
been gathered within two or three
miles of Holly Springs"

NORTH CARo1rNA.-Thc CORE

North CAROLINA CORES.
pondent Of a New York paper, writ
ing from Raleigh last Saturday, says
a committee are working up the
whereabouts of 81, 500. 900, borrowed
IN England during the war by the
State, which the agents have never
accounted for, nor do the Treasury
books show who were these author
lied parties. The same committee
are also inquiring into the results of
the recent disposed Of interests Of
the State in one-half Of the blockade
steamer Adelaide, for the purchase of
which Gov. Vance issued bonds to
the amount of $13O,OOO, May 20,
1861, and which are now presented
for payment. Some action is pur-
posed in allowing the State to sell
her interests in the railroads, receiv-
ing in payment her matured bonds
issued before the war, most of which
paper is held North.

A remarkable case of mistaken
identity has just come to light. Sc
veral years ago, an English burglar
named Collins killed his wife, on the
outskirts of Providence, Rhode Is
land. On the day of the murder, a
sea captain, named j. M. Cockson,
and his wife, quarrelled and sepa-
rated. When the body of Mrs. Col
Inns was found, it was identified as
that of Mrs. Cockson, whose husband
was arrested, tried and would have
been hanged but for the timely re-
appearance of his wife. The question
was then raised, who was the mur-
dered woman? The answer has at
last been furnished by professional
burglar, recently arrested in New
York, who knew Collins and his wife,
and who has related oil the facts to
the police authorities in New York.

The Mass Meeting.

On Saturday last, large number of the cit
izens of this County assembled in this city for
the purpose of organizing !" National John
son Club : for Crawford County, and to ap-
point delegates to the Philadelphia National
Conventions the proceedings of which meet
inc will be found in another column.
After the regular business of the meeting
was concluded the crowd called for General
Thomason. The General, of course, respond
ed and did use the Radical candidates for the
Legislature severely. He showed concusively
to the auditors that Mr.. Perkins, one of the
opposing candidates for Representatives did
not know what the Constitutional amend
ment now proposed to the States is, and, il
sent to the House would be just rs apt to vote
for il rs not. Now, voters of Crawford do
you propose, at this perilous time, to entrllst
your most vital interests to such men? Mr..
Perkins is, probably, good man, and may be
one of the best citizens; but is he capable of
combating the ingenious arguments of such
men as he may meet, II he is sent To the leg
slature. Citizens Of Crawford exercise that
common sense for which you are proverbial,
in this natter. Would you apply to mer-
chant to pull your teeth or amputate an arm9
Would you apply to blacksmith to put you
upa house? Common sense should be used
in politics as well as in all the other concerns
of life. Don't be del,uled by designing men.
Think for yourselves and all will be right. Let
your choice be Hugh f. Thomson and
GRANVILLE Wilcox for the Legislature.

ticket. Citizens of Crawford, do You not see
where you are led? Can you longer be decei-
we'd? Are your eyes not opened to the fact
that your leaders are transferring you to the
negro suffrage party3 What more proof do
YOU want? This is the kind of Union they
preach-Unon with negro suffrage and ne
gro equality. DO You wantit. Are you pre-
pared. to call the negro your equal in all
things. Letyour votes answer Oh Monday
