There was a destructive .etorm in
Union on Friday evening last, which
played havoc with mill-dams, fences,
etc. The Times says: =
'The destruction OF crops and fences
by these storms cannot be estimated as
yet. One man infurms us that they
completely destroyed ten acres Of fine
bottom corn, by blowing it down and
completely covering it with mud and
water, 30 that it cannot be saved, and
also so completely ruined ten acres of
fine cotton that il is not worth gathel.
ing. This is only one Of dozen simi.
lar cases which have been reported to Us
by reliable persons. We hear that
number of miIl.dams were washed away,
but can only speak positively of the
dams at Beaty's and Webster's mills,
which. we learn, are almost entirely
gone" ''fss'

THAT SPEECH Tho editor of the
Greensboro IN. c. Patriot is North
ern man, and fought III the Federal
army during the late unpleasantness.
Here is what he says about Mr.. Davis
apeech:
"The leaders Of tho war party in the
North lied to the people Of the North
and the South, and thus secured the
support of the Northern people and tue
final surrender of the Southern armies.
They wont into war with the cry of
Union on their lips, and it was this cry
that filled their armies which swarmed
over the South. When charged by the
Democracy with it as an abolition war,
war to free and enfrnnchise the negro,
to destroy State sovereignty, to annihi-
late the rights of citizens and States,
they denied it strenuousIy and filed
tholr dungeons with editors aud speak
ers who had the courage to charge them
with it. Aud yet we have seen all this
bronght about, and more, too, than we
ever dreamed OF, and not only the
Southern people, but also the Northern
people were Cheated, as Mr.. Davis ex-
presses it. These may be unpleasant
truths for Mr.. Davis, or any one else to
ntter, but still they be truths, never.
theless, and all the pens in the Radical
domain cannot unwrite them"

secured for him the fat Office of post
master in st. Louis, whose just emou-

person. It is charged, however, that,
not content with the ordinary salary, he
established regular system of assess.
ments upon the employees of his Office,
equal to five per cent OF their pay. The
excuse given for this shameful proceed
ing is. that Mr.. Filley has been very
liberal in his party contributions, enter
tanning the President at his house and
opening his, purse on divers and sundry
occaaions. Now. all this may bs true;
it doubtless is true. But 1t furnishes
no manner of excuse for the effort to
reimburse his outlay by taxing his
subordinates in Office, most of whom are
poor men-some with fa1nilies, and
nearly all on moderate pay. A man de-
serves no credit for liberality to his po-
htlcal religious party who, after making
gift, proclaims his liberality to the
world for the purpose of getting his
money back. This amounts tn no ibe-
rality ut all; it is an "Indiun gift, as the
