EXTRAORDINARY HAIL SToKM.-0n Wednesday
evening last furious hail storm swept over the
line of the Mobile and Montgomery railroad, at
point about twenty six miles above Tensas. Mar
tins mill is established at this point and also
telegraph office, under the direction of Mr.. Martin.
The storm was of a character never experienced
in this section before, and hail stones, Of from
an inch TO two inches in diameter, fell. During
the storm the flashes followed each other with ex-
trsordnary rspidity, and the roar Of the thunder
is described as terrific.
John Grimes, negro teamster, employed at
Martins mill, and who slept in the loft over
the mill, was so terrified by the storm
that be retreated to his dormitory. A gust
Of wind carried OF the roof, and almost annhila.
ted the mill, and Grimes was precipitated to the
story below, falling upon the saw. The machin.
cry was in full operation, but fortunately one of
the stanchions threw the band of the fly.wheel.
Grimes had his arm, however, nearly sawed of a.
the shoulder joint, and is now lying in q critical
condition.
The lightning struck several telegraph posts
and most completely annihiated them. 1t also
tore The wire from the telegraph implement. and
made it very unsafe TO stay about the telegraph
ofice.-[ Mobile Times, June Il.

ANNIVERSARY OF QUEEN's ASCENSION TO THE
THRoNB.-Ihe Goth being the anniversary of the
ascension of her majesty Queen Victoria to the
throne OF England, has been observed a holt
day in this metropolis and had also been duly
ODseryed by appropriate salutes throughout the
realms of The British government. The city has
b. en- gaily decorated with flags and streamers,
and the naval vessels ss well as the mercantile.
The marine of all nations have been profase in the
display Of eolors. Immense crowds filed the
streets, all intent mainly upon witnessing the
grand review Of the volunteers by the queen and
royal family at Windsor, toward which point they
have been vending their way on numerous rail-
way trains. The day has been made the especial
occasion for a grand review of the regular volun-
teer troops at Windsor Park, where for several
days they have been arriving IN large numbers
from different points. Sautes were fred from
Windsor Castle and other prominent governmen-
raj places at sunrise. noon and sunset.
The barracks at Windsor we're gally festoened
ana decorated, and the troops were in full dress
uniform for review. The weather was compsra.
lively fine, although the morning threatening,
which Rad the effect OF preventing many thou
sands from attending. With the exception of a
slight shower, there was nothing to mar the spen-
dor Of the parade. The troops ia the line nun
beTed % 100 Of the different arms, and while being
reviewed by her majesty and her brilliant suite Of
generals and officers of the royal household. pre-
senjed a scene Of grandeur and enthusiasm sci.
dom, if ever before, Witnessed in this country.
AT er marching past and saluting the queen and
royal cortege, the troops paid marching salute
to the obeiisk of the grand jubilee, which took
place in 1920 and then dehled over a pontOOn
bridge thrown across The Thames by the royal en-
gineers, when they were dismissed. The throng
was immense, and the queen and royalfamily were
greeted with marked enthusiasm. The day was
concluded with festivities and reunions by civil
and military organizations.

WEDNESDAY MORNING, JUNE "a, 1868.
sUFEnsEHv1cEAB1E.- The United State

SUPERsERyIcEABLE.- The United States
government has nearly always been
superservieeable in pandering to the
interests of semi-barbarous and semi
bandit rulers in Spanish American coun-
tries bordering on the Gulf, by keeping
from their shores a class OF emigrants who
would be likely to open the way for their res
toration to responsibility and civilization, and
to start them in career of unprecedented
prosperity. The arrest, recently, of a num-
Der of men in this city on the suspicion that
they were preparing to emigrate to Mexico
with intentions not favorable to the ascen-
dant faction of usurpers, robbers and cut
Threats, whatever that may be- is in accord
ance with the gratuitous and obstructive
policy referred to. The Mexican authorities,
who ever they are, do not pretend to protect
American interests, or to render a decent
show of desire to repair spoliations and other
outrages inflicted on American residents.
Since the murder of Macmillan, they have
openly avowed their hatred of all foreigners !;
and have shown, though less openly, that above
all foreigners, they hate Americans Why
should not the United States leave them to
their fate hereafter? Even suppose that the
intent of Americans who go there, banded to-
gether for mutual protection against Mexican
brigandsge, may be technically illicit Yet
what is lawful in Mexico? Where is the regu-
lar and legitimate authority? Where is the
substantial and stable guarantee of law and
order, of safety to life and property? No
where. Let American emigration Mexico
ward have full swing hereafter, and in few
years long stride will be made in regener-
ating Mexico by the only means which can
effect its regeneration. 1t was in this way
, that Texas was saved from Mexican anarchy
and Indian savagery.

stroyed during the war. This receptacle was as
perfect as thing OF its kind could be. The
eye of the beholder was amazed at the rich decor
atoms which had been expended to sdoru il. IL
was neat, it was rich. il elegant. The outside
as well as the inside had been particularly at
tended to by the skilled fingers of the fair artists
who had accomplished this surprising little master
work Of oTnsmentation.
Again resuming its line of march, the process
sion turned back. through Bridge street to Main
street, where the fourth and last stoppng.place
had been prepared. On both sides Of the entrance
to the vault stood of those fair little creatures
whom God seems to have placed on earth to be
the ft emhlems aud representations of His own
angels in Heaven. Standing on high pedestals at
the threshold of the home destined to the Creator
himself, their calm and con,ented looks we're bent
down with cOmplacency upon the large moving
crowd before Them as woald real angels on high
looking down upon the troublous world at their
feet.
This last repository was supported on four
white columns. with ITS arched roof adorned with
hangings of lace interpreted with ornaments Of
gold and precious stones. But for the altar
erected at the further extremity of the vault and
the niche, for the reception of the holy sacra-
meDt, and above the altar, had been reserved all
that ar and riches could obtain. Golden bracelets
brooches, chains rings and jewels of all sorts
had, for a while been destined to less profane
use, and were fixed amid the gsuze and other or
naments, which they were made to clasp and TO
hold in different places, with such art and skill that
they seemed never to have been intended for any
other purpose. The benedcton was there again
as at the other repositories, administered to the
assembled people. and all returned TO church,
where the priest addressed the faithful few SEN
sble and appropriate words before parting.

peaceful and loyal disposition of the Southern
people, report which Mr.. Sumner de-
nounced as "white-washing document"
and this denunciation was Endorsed by
all the other radicals in Congress
who are now running Gen. Grant for
President. Among the few public
men then accounted radicals, who disap-
proved the Presidents plan because it did
not provide for negro suffrage, was Chief
Justice Chase, the man whom many leading
Democrats now wish to nominate for Presi-
dent, as the only candidate whom they could
elect, and to suit whose views in favor of uni
versal suffrage they propose to concede negro
suffrage in the South and to treat it as a dead
issue which cannot hereafter legitimately
enter federal politics. The New York World
goes with this class of Democrats. The
National Intelligencer, supposed to represent
the sentiment of President Johnson, refuses
to concede anything to the logic of events,
and insists ON still combating negro suffrage,
in some unexplained way, from the stand
point of federal politics. Strange separa-
tons and combinations! Mr.. Chase, negro
suffrage apart, stands forth as in cordial SYM
pathy with the Democratic party. Mr.. john
son esteems those Democrats who are willing
to acquiesce in negro suffrage as an accom-
plshed fact out Of the reach of federal politics.
to be too radical for his association. Equally
curious is this approach between Mr.. Chase
and the Democracy, and the polar separation
between Mr.. Johnson and the intense and
vindictive radicalism with which the early
part of his administration was associated

BIRTH OF AN REIR 70 THE THRONE OF THE

and light that pyrotechncal display Is money

generally reported yesterday that an amnesty
would be granted TO political and other offend
ers on so auspiciOus On occasion, but in the im
perial manifesto that appears in TO days Journal
no mention of the kind is made. Perhaps it may
come later. The name OF the young Grand Duke
Melodies AlexapdrOvitch is already inscribed nc

Hussars of GroduO. etc., in which his father the
Heriter is inscribed, and he has been named
chief of the 65th regiment of infantry of Moscow,
which is henceforth TO be called His Imperial
Higbness's Own. As you may well believe, all
the newspapers this morning are full of loyal ex.
pressions Of Joy and gratitude to God for this

1t is generally believed in Paris that there ex.
lists in France a vast secret league, whose object
it is TO maintain peace at all hazards, and whose
ramifcarions extend throughout all parts of the
empire This league is said to have had its origin
at the great manufacturing city of Mdhlhausen,
where a number of manufacturers were the first
to start lodge. 1t is thought that the govern
ment fully aware of the existence of the league,
but dares not prosecute the leaders, because
the very fact il the existence of such league
should become generally known it would serious
~ impair again the dropping prestige of the gov
