The coldness of the season has scarcely been equalled here, owing, doubtless to the violent Hail storms, which have within the last fortnight taken place in different parts of the Htate. On Monday week, the plan tations in the vicinity of Chapel Hill suffered from a violent storm. Fif teen miles north-west of this place* a violent storm heat down all the young growth in $ moderate space into the ground and some days after* wards the hard stones, though small, lay ten inches thick on the level ground.? Below Wilmington about the same period, during a very hea vy storm of Hail, stones fell which measured 1 3-4 inches long, 1 1-4 broad, and 1 inch thick. CAMDEN. THURSDAY, MAY 25, 1820. COMMUNICATED FOR THI GAZETTE. The attention of the public is called to a mineral Spring lately discovered in the townof Concord, N. Carolina. This spring has been examined by several gen-: tlemen ?killed in Chemistry ; they all pro pOunce it to be a very strong Chalybeate* The virtues of the water is thus decribed by a skrHful Physician, viz r The general virtues of the Concord Chalybeate Spring are to constringe the fibres, to quicken the circulation of the fluids, to promote deficient secretions, and and at the same tijne repress inordinate dis charges into the intestinal tube. By the use of tfiis water the pulse is very sensibly raised ; the colour of the face, though for rncvly ptatle changcs to a florid red.. The alvine, urinary and cuiicular excretions are increased. It is found highly benefi cial in all diseases pvoceeding from ' a lax ity and weakness of the Solids* , The cir cumjacent co,untry% possesses every article necessary to the convenience of persona visiting tht Spring. Board and accommo dations can be had in town or country on the most reasonable terms.

C V* ? Antiquities. ? On the river Huron, BO miles from Detroit, and about 8 miles from Lake St. Clair, are a number of small mounds, situated on a dry plain or bluff, near the riv er. Sixteen baskets full of human bones, of a remarkable size, were discovered in the efcrth; while sink ing a cellar on this plain for the mis sionary. v ? Near the month of this, on the east bank, are ancient works repre senting a fortress, with walls of earth thrown up, similar to those of Indiana and Ohio. At BeUe Fontaine , or Spring "Wells, three miles below Detroit, are three small mounds or tumuli, standing in a direct line, about ,10 rods apart. One of these has been opened : Bones, stone axes, &c. were found in abundance. About one fourth of a mile below these, are still to be seen the remains of an ancieorfortification. A breast work, in some places three or four feet high, encloses several acres of firm ground, in the centre of an extensive marsh. Tile line of battle *hip ^lussach ? setts, (by which uame we hear she is to be called) now building at the Navy- Yard, Charlestuwn, is the tlieme of admiratiou among all con uoisseurs iu ship buildiug, for the beauty of her model, her strength of materials, and the solidity of workmanship. 8he is larger than the Washington, Independence , or Franklin , and is about the tonnage of the Columbus , recently built at the Navy-Yard in W asliiugton. ?

The Soda Fount will al ways be filled and ready for use, Sundays excepted Bottles filled for family use, at the short est notice. 44 SODA WATER has been directed by Medical men, as a remedy in a number of common and troublesome complaints? It is a complete remedy against sourness of the stomach, commonly called heart burn, and in most eases, of indigestion and weakness of the stomach, it is very useful ; gradually restoring the appetite, and with it the tone of that organ-it is a preventative of many of the diseases of the stomach and bowels, which proceed from acidity ; and for the same reason it often removes and prevents the sick headache.
