Correspondence Of the Dispatch.
From Orange COunty-Esail.St0rm
GrODS. DC.

On Thursday about II o'clock our coun.
ty, in many places, was visited by one of
the most terrible and destructive hail-storms
in the memory of our oldest inhabitants
The wheat, corn, oats, grass, fruit, gardens,
and orchards, i'll the locality of the storm
were almost totally destroyed. The wheat
throughout the county, previous to the
storm, was getting almost ready for the
reaper and cradle, but had been injured so
very much by the rust and scab as to make
it certain that in Orange county not more
than one-third Gf SO much) of a crop will
be made. We all, though, hope, will bow
with the proper spirit and reverence to the
unerring ways and DEGREES of Providence,
believing them not to be inconsistent or an
tagonistic to the laws of nature or Of science.

The following nominations were made to-

sippi.
The Star this. afternoon says 1T turns
out now that the report of compromise

accepted the result, must be forever ex-

From North Carolina.

WILMINGTON, June 17.-The action of the
Governor i'll ordering the organization of Il
standing army, which must necessarily be
composed entirely of his political friends,
is deplorcd by all the best men in the State
1t is said he was mainly instigated by Sena.
tors Pool and Abbott. All Conservatives
and many Republicans consider the action
of the Governor entirely unnecessary and
likely to lead to most serious results if not
speedily abandoned. In all Conservative
meetings, now being held all over the State,
every species of Outrage and all secret or
CARNATIONS arc strongly denounced, and it
IS believed to be the earnest desire Of the
best men of all parties to have harmony and

adams. June 15.-The Chinese cmigrants
did not begin work to-day, it having been
found necessary to allow them to spend an
other day in preparations for making them
selves comfortable. They are already busy
learning to speak, read, and write, the Eng
lish language, 4 dozen croWding around any
one who is willing to teach them. Some
have already learned the alphabet since
reaching Massachusetts. Manufacturers
from other parts Of the country are already
beginning to arrive, to inspect the new i'm
portation, and one large shirt manufacturer
from New Jersey declared his intention to
bring overa company of one hundred China
men at once to stock his factory. The Chi
ncsc foreman has visited the principal shops
of the village to-day making purchases tor
his men, and has not been moested. The
Crispins have contented themselves with
warning and attempting to bride the shoe
maker from Springfield who is engaged to
teach the new hands, but he is proof against
both threats and bribery. No open violence
is seriously unprecedented, but MIR. Sampson
thinks it necessary to guard his buildings
after nightfall to prevent incendiarism.

June II, 1870.
1t seems that some of the otficers-elect In
this and the Green Springs township are
much diSgruntled at being put down as
Eadicals in the report of the election sent
from this place. TO all who do now or
may hereafter object to being thus called
would say. That not being personally ac-
quainted with some of the gentlemen, and
finding their names on the Badical ticket
in opposition TO the Conservative party,
/ was compelled to follow the old adage of
Judging man by the company he keeps.
am glad, however, that these gentlemen
have disaVowed all connection with the
Radical party, as it goes far to show how
unpopular that party is with all respectable
gentlemen, and bespcakS Il success for the
Conservatives in the fall elections which
will astonish the most sanguine Conserva-
tive in the county.
Our county court (Judge Lane, assisted
by Judge Williams, Of Orange, presiding
has just adjourned after disposing Of some
important cases.
Notwithstanding the dull times our town
presents lively appearance. We have sc.
vcral buildings in process of erection !;
others are waiting for the workmcn to fin
i>h the work now engaged before commenc.
ing operations. In fact, such Is the scarcity
OF business houses here that you not unfre-
quently find three kinds of business con.
Quoted in the same store. Gossip and news
of al! kinds is scarce, the topic of CONVEX
sation being the amount of injury sustained
by the wheat crop on account Of the late
heavy rains. a.
