WILKEsBoRo', March 10, 1867.
"The rain, hail and sleet of the 9th inst,
has we'll nj Oh ruined our orchards and for
ests. Such Wholesale destruction of timber
was never known in all this up-country be-
FORE Whole mountain-sides covered with
chestnut timber have scarce a single tree left
that is sound. Topless trunks windshaken
and shattered trees-many of which are up
turned by their roots, are seen where but late
ly the giant forest stood forth in all its gran
deur and perfection. The white-oak timber
has also suffered severely, and this leads
many of our hog raisers to fear that their
g occupation is gone" for it will be years be-
fore the small m asst can again be relied on for
the subsistence of swine in the mountains.
But of all the forest trees the pine has snf-
fered most, as its foliage afforded lodging
tor the sleet, breaking or upturning nearly
every tree in our forest. Fortunately there
was scarce any wind; had there been blow
after the trees were loaded the destruc-
truction would have been complete for the
ground was warm and full of water, and as
the woodsmen express it, " rotten"
Cherry trees suffered most of any of our
fruit trees, but apple trees did not by any
means escape 1t was curious freak of
nature to send rain, sleet, hail, lightning and
thunder all at once, but SO it came.
"Winter fingers in the lap of Spring." and
Notwithstanding Professor Loomis' figures,
seems to have a score to settle.
On the morning of the 10th we got up to
find three inch snow on tree, fence and
ground, which was then being subjected to
the polishing process. 1t was coating over
with sleet, and now although it is the third
day, the mountains glisten with it, and it
lies to it's. full depth on all north ground.
Peach trees in bloom looked beautiful,
whitened with the feathery snow-fakes, but
house wives did not relish the exhibition, for
through and beyond it all they saw an array
of empty self-sealing cans, preserve jars, &C."

The following Card of John R. Harrison,
Esq. will show that he is not to blame for
the refusal to the colored people of the Court
House, to hold their meeting on Saturday
last.
The idea that the colored people do not
possess equal rights with Others, is played
out. Our public buildings are frequently
opened to traitors, showmen and others. If
the rebel Sentinel had called meeting of
Wake County rebels and traitors, we mag
inc there would have been no difficulty in
their obtaining the use of the Court House.

relation to my appointment as superinten-

accepted that Office or qualified for the per-
formance of the duties thereof Ihave never
assumed to give my consent to the public
use of the Court House for any purpose, or
