A fine bond of nntsid wu? stationed in tlie | grounds fionling (bo Potomac, and there j were Assembled at lenst one thousand Indies j and gentlemen, comprising many belles from ; the runtiy South as well as from the North ; ; the contrnst of complexions, dress and gen- | eral tout ensemble rendered it a scene long ; to bo remembered. Among the hnppy I groups upon the bright green lawn wns n ' stout, silver-haired old man, with strongly j marked intellectual developments, in a plain dress of black brondcloth, relieved by a I neckerchief of dazzling whiteness-?n man of whom n stranger would hnve easily singled out as the foremost man in aft that as- j semblatje.

On the day of his death he left home on a walk into his plantation, and not returning, the apprehensions of his family were excitcd and a search instituted, when his body was found, with every indication of having been poisoned with strychnine, a viiil of which was found on his person.

Foreign Appointmrnt.?Our cotempointiea have recently had many speculations as to nppoinlments of citizens of South Carolina to foreign missions.

A Scene at 31 Hond Street.?A very extractdinary scene transpired yesterday in front of ITo 31 Bond street, where Mrs. Cunninghn.n nnd her family are for the present residing. About thirty females and some fifteen or twenty lads assembled in front of the house, and after freely expressing their belief that Mrs. Cunninglmm murdered Dr. Burdell, and ought to be driven out of the city, proceeded to exhibit their ifirl iornnl inn l?ir vii%loni1ir iKa K..11 ti "J breaking the windows, making grimaces iit ihe inmates, Sic.

I'liesrdkst.?Tito editor of the San Francisco Herald hns seen a great curiosty, in the shape of a chair made enliroly of elk antlers, anil designed as a present to James Ilnuhanan, President of the United States.

A mere passing of tho earth through the luminous appendages of one of these bodies, which, it is true, might more easily happen, would be unattended by any injurious consequences, since the matter of which co-nets consist is not coherent substance, nor is it even an atmosphere i such as we could not inhale."

The hail covered the ground to the depth of four or five inches, and when the train passed yesterday mom- i ing, there was no difficulty in gathering | large quantities from the ground where it fell. Cotton, corn, and every description of crops within the range of the storm were | literally ruined, cut ofl". and beat into the I earth. The storm passed over a belt of country about four miles wide, and ranged from North to South. The length of the path is noi yei ascertained, but it is known to have been some twelve or fifteen miles lonij.? Vicksburg Whig, 8th.
