REMARKABLE Hail. SToRM.-The following
is an account of hail storm that. occurred in
this county on Thursday last, which is not
only remarkable for being out of season, but
for quantity and appearance. The state
ments of of our correspondent may be relied
on as strictly correct;
DAVIDSON COLLEGE, N. c., Oct II, 1866.
W. ]. Yates, Esq--Dear Sir: The follow
ing is a description of very novel and de
structive hail storm which occurred at half
past o. clock yesterday evening. The PIE
ces (not stones) were of every conceivable
shape, with horns, legs, arms. &c, resena-
bling bugs, fowls, grasshoppers, craw fish
aligators, crabs, fish, lizards, chestnut burs,
monkeys, sea-shells, doll-babies, &C., &c
They came down so rapidly and in such size
and quantity that many ofthem lost an arm,
leg, or wing in the fall The little (not very)
creatures came down with legs and arms
spread out so that they hitched upon the
cotton and other things stripping them pretty
clean of leaves and limbs. Some cotton
fields are ruined. The heaviest part Of the
storm was between here and Mount Mourne,
covering the ground from three to four inch
es in some places, and to-day it still lies in
piles two inches deep, the pieces averaging
two and-a-half to three ounces IN weight.
Respectfully, &c. II. p. HELPER.

We learn from friend that the whole time
of the court is and will be occupied with
criminal cases. He also informs us that
Judge Buxton is giving universal satisfac-

heart which form the basis of high judicial
character. Our informant says that he is a
model Judge. Those like ourself, who knew
the Judge before his elevation, are prepared
to earsuch high praise, for the christian gen
tieman must make the uptight Judge. He

to the State and the interests of her citizens,
are before the people of Rowan to-day for
seats in the House of Commons they are
worthy of support, let us see to it that they
are elected Let their friends be wide awake.
Do not split your vote. Remember that
Foard and Crawford form ticket, and it is
expected that the friends of the one will vote
for the other.n
We take it for granted these gentlemen are
elected.
Neither the national administration nor
the Republican party has done any thing to
sustain the Unionists of North Carolina
They stand alone, in the midst of wild sea
of sectionalism. They can not always main

Message of the Governor of Mississippi,

New ORLEANS, Oct. t6-The Mississippi
Legislature met yesterday in extra session.
The Governors message says that the neces-
sites of the State constrained him to call
the Legislature. It was not special emer-
gency, but general exigency, resulting from
the altered and defanged condition of OUR
Federal relations and domestic affairs.
He states that the removal of negro troops
from the State, and the transfer of the Freed
mems Bureau to officers of the regular army,
are subjects of eoagratulation. He de
pieres the state ofthe country, and encloses'
the constitut: onal amendment, but presunes
that the mere reading of it will insure its re-
lection. He recommends the admission of
negro testimony in all courts, and requests,
that provision be made for the education Of
the Judgment children of Confederate SOL
diers, and for the relief of destitute disabled
Confederate and State soldiers.

THE PRESIDENT AND THE CONSTITUTIONAL.
AMENDMEN.-The New York Herald CONTRA
diets it own story as follows:
The rumor that the President had written
to southern Governors advising them to con-
vene their Legislatures and recommend the
adoption of the constitutional amendment is
undoubtedly incorrect, as no positive indi-
cations have yet been exhibited tending to
show that the President will swerve from his
purpose not to be party to the granting of
universal negro suffrage in any shape 1t
may be, however, that the result of the New
York elections, if unfavorable to the Conser-
vatives, may tend to ameliorate his views,
and compromise between himself and Con-
gress be effected at the next session If he
remains inflexible, the Radicals will assured
ly makes an effort to impeach him at least,
that is the sentiment of the Radical leaders
at this time.
The timber of the Presidents message is
already being prepared and some of its pro
portions shaped. The superstructure will
not, however, be completed until the Nov
ember election shall have decisively express
ed the tone of the people of New York.

Fox HUNTMG.-The Lynchburg Neaos
says that the neighboring country is alive
with foxes and the hunters are enjoying the
sport of chasing them. We may repeat the
same in regard to our locality. There is a
large red fox now in the cellar under the
Postoffice, where he was put for safe keeping
until the hunters fix upon day to turn him
out for run. The hounds ran him into a
hole in the ground and he was thus taken
alive.-Don0iUe Register
