was visited by as destructive a lail storm as
vewwasae:perienced by the oldest inhabitants;
theatorm lasted fuily half an hour; the window
hatin the Court House, atid in almost every
store and dwelrtg, were more or less injured;
the Cotton and Corn immediately in the vicin
ty othe villam sulereSseverely; the Cqrn wag
as .complptelf striped of its fodder as it done by
the mast expert hands; the gardene are nearly
all rooted up by the force of the storm, and the
unripe ruitstrewed in all directions. A large
oak te noar te iesidence of James Terry,
Aqr.., in theAflalge,. was struck by lightning:
hi eb6hdrsd, Iho' were. playing in the piazza
near iz providentially escaped, although the
bark from the tree was thrown with such forice
as to make an. impression on the- ceiling of the
piazza, near them. On the plantation of Mr.
Jasma Grifin, three miles from the vilinge. the
lightning killed a fine pair of males, on carriage
iurme, and colt.
. Their has been severe showers of rain, ac
companied with heavy thunder and sarp light
ning, every day for the lIsi five days.
Atan electiou hed on the 2d inst.. at the Coun
cl halt, in the town of Beauftar for lutendant
and Wardens, the following gentlemen were
duly elected :
IntendaaL-Col, Win. Fuller.
f'ardmas.-Messrs. D. R. Ueaubien. Jame;s
Fripp, John Webb, Edmund Rhett. Richard
Reynolds, and Capt. John G. Barnwell.
TM. Magnoia.-The July number of this
valuable periodical has been received, having
been delayed, until after its tsual time, that the
Editor might issue some numbers of the South
ern Ladies'. Book. We had begaea i fea our
favorite flower had shared the fate of other
Southern periodicals; but are happy to find,
on perusal, that it still retains all its literary
beauties.
-. Loan.-It is said that the agents of seve
rel F.nglish Bankers are now in this country,
with authority to take part of the new Govern.
ment Loan of $12,000,000.
Amkerst Colege.-At the annual comnuence
meat, on the 22d ultimo, the degree of A. D.
was confeired on 32 graduates-Edward Grin
wold Tyler. of Hartford, Pa.. delivering the
Salutary Oration in Latin, and Ephraian Ward
Bond, of Springfield, Mass., the Valudictory
Addrese.

Jam, Louisiana, og the 30th ult. -
At an annu.al conjinencement at Auilherst Col
lege, held on the 22d ult., the degreo of L. L.
D. was conferred on John Tyler, President of
the United States.
.We have received, throusih the mneditum of
the Post Oflice, a printed carcular, fromt the
Secretary of a mneetinag of Journeymen Prin
ters, helst in Columabia on the eid inst., at
which meeting it appears one of the craft, who
is working in the employ of Saxer~t. Wa::,
Esgr., on the Southern Chroxi~de, has been stig
tnatized with the hateful name of RAT !-the
term used by printers towarda any of their craft
who are mnean enough to work under the stand
ing wages of that body. Believing, as we do,
that die wages of journeymen printers are now
lower than those oif any other mechanie, we
justify them, in the course they have taken, to
expose the defaulter. Trhe following is the de,
cription given in the circstLair:
"RA LPH TAYLOR is abont Z feet 8 or Ii
inches hign; dark hair and eyes; high cheek
bones; straight nose ; about :'6 years of age;
sanctified appearance : conceited intonation of:

T1. Beaks.-The Columual,- .-rgus of the 4th

instiwtmd against the Banks ol thia city, and re
eitrera have beuen appointed for die Chaatta-.
hoochee Rail Road and Banking cotnpany, andI
for the Bank of Columbus, by Jud;;o King of
thurflint Circuit. This is rather an extraordi
nary psroceeding. Our owna opinion is, that
the iaw does not eontemnplate or anithorise the
apponinda of a receiver utntil the piropier tri
bunat has declared the charter forfeited, but if
it he necessary to appoint for one, it is for all:
*why not appoint a receiver for the Planters and
Mechanics Bank as wellas for the others ? Real
Iyit seems as if Judge King will usie his judicil
powers just in any way that any body chooses
to ask; not long since, lie granted certioraries.
in favor of the Planters and Mechan:ies Bank,
ugen cases that had never becen tried: and now,
he appoints receivers for thme Biaiks before their
chauters had been.forfeired. This is what we
chi hanging first and trying afterwvards. It is
not just either to the Banks or dhe peop.le.
We have no objections to jiromcedings ofany
kind authorised by law against the Banks. buit
we do object to making the judicial pows 'rs o~r

- -The thought of sacrificing the brethren "Ga
lusha and Meredith" or of prouscribing any one
for conscienco sake by the Southesn delegation,
itn concert with northern brethren, is inadusisible.
For these teris involve thu idea of the privation
of some right, or this violation of oLe frililci
psle; neither of which occurred in tie election
of the Board of lanagers. Membership in the
Coaveton gies na right to office, since this
right is acquired only by the votes of the mell
bers. If the members shall, by their votes, put
one matn in office, rather than another; no pri.
vation of right is inflicted, or violation of princi.
