The snow-storm which began at $50
yesterday afternoon did not cease unth
Q o'clock this morning. IL was perhaps
the heaviest snowfall ever known in
this section during March. kilograms
from various points in the State show
that the fall at those points was as fol-
lows: At Charlotte, six inches; at
Weldon, eight; at Durham, eight ; Mt
Hamlet, ten; at Manly, fifteen. Along
the line Of the Carolina Central railroad
the snow was from ten to fifteen inches
on a level. Here it was eight aud a
half inches. Coming in the midst Of
spring weather. with flowers in bloom,
it was remarkable in all respects. To-
day it melted very rapidly. Freshets
in the streams are expected as the re-
suit.

five hundred in number, continue in
camp here, and say they do not intend

compliments Of the season.

Arrived in Egypt, Pain sent letters u
the Fignro for awhile; but, - they
criticised the English in way anything
bat agreeable, tho authorities at Cairo
soon stopped him in his work.
Then he started up the Nile
on land. and had reached Assouan,
when his escort abandoned him in the
desert. Finally he managed to join a
caravan, and since then-August,
lSS4-no one has had any direct news
whatever from him. Il is known, how
ever, that he succeeded in crossing the
desert after caravan journey Of seven
ty days. and that he reached the army
of the Mahdi. Many weeks passed
without further news from this French
journalist. Not so very long ago we
learned Of his whereabouts, and of his
dOings in the army opposing the inva-
sion Of Northern Egypt by the Hes
SLAMS of old England. He was now a
general; he was in the confidence Of
the - emiSsary ofGod y; he had become
an out-and-out MusSulman, and he
was assisting IN the direction Of the
military operations around Khartoum.
Our latest adyices are that the Mahdi
has appointed Pain ~ Prime Minister.
All this seems almost incredible, but II
was none the less true, and he soon ies
the English know that he was their
mortalfoe Pam has played all important
part in the siege Of KhartOam, and,
according to private information re-
cciyed here, it was not few days ago,
but toward the end Of October, when
that city fell into the power of
the Mahdi. The victory was kept Sc
cret, however. in order TO draw the Eng
lish troops into q position where the tao
ties which had proved so successful at
FL 0bcid might be repeated. But for
the reconnaissance Of Colonel Wilson,
the army of General WolSeley would
have been very lucky, indeed. had it eS-
capped the fate which overlook that Of
General Hicks. As Pain is now the
Foreign Minister of the Mahdi. it is with
him that the English commander will
have to treat, and it may happen that
the French journalist, who the would
be masters Of Egypt tried 20 hard to get
rid of few ponths ago, may yet die
tate terms TO the representative of her
Majesty the Queen Of Great Britain and
Ireland and Empress 81 India.
